The reason for the failure of the naval battle is not complicated. After all, China has traditionally been a land power and has relatively few places to use its navy.
Without demand, there is no development.
It was not until the emergence of the steam engine and the first industrial revolution that the importance of sea power was predicted, and China began to develop its navy on a large scale.
However, compared with the European coalition forces that have been developing navies, their foundation is still a bit weak. After all, navies require a century-long construction cycle.
In the great battle of the Persian Gulf, China dispatched 7 main battleships, 15 battlecruisers, 21 cruisers, 41 destroyers, plus 35 lightning strike ships, and several supply ships...
The opponent dispatched a lot more numbers, 10 battleships, 19 battlecruisers, 8 armored cruisers, 26 light cruisers, 58 destroyers...
In this duel, the overall battle loss ratio between the Chinese and European coalition forces was 712, and the loss tonnage ratio was 350,000 tons to 760,000 tons. Among them, the battleship loss ratio was 13, the battlecruiser loss was 35, and the cruiser loss was 34.
China's side suffered smaller losses, but it was unable to change the overall comparison of the fleets between the two sides, and thus was unable to break the opponent's naval blockade.
The reason for the smaller losses is that the Shenzhou side mobilized more aliens on board the ship, thus increasing the shooting hit rate and evasion rate.
Among them, the Zhenxi ship, as the main battleship, has the most aliens. At the same time, it has also been specially improved in many places to use it as a trump card.
It indeed played a main role in the battle, sinking the "Sea King", "Royal Princess", and "Queen Mary" with one against three.
Just a tactical victory cannot solve the strategic disadvantage. The entire fleet can still only retreat and give up sea control.
This naval battle also strengthened the determination of European countries to transfer populations and technology to America and build a rear area.
Even the terrifying aliens cannot fly across the ocean and still have to be transported by warships.
While thinking, Wen Rensheng observed the current scene.
The surrounding fog had receded, and he could see a huge fleet surrounding him.
The heavy sound of the boiler, thick steam, and black smoke pulled out a long column on the sea.
The Zhenxi armored ship at the foot is located in the front half of the fleet, acting as the vanguard.
The entire fleet is divided into two, the first battle formation and the second battle formation.
At this time, the two fleets responded to each other and were heading forward to meet the enemy.
He raised his eyes and saw thick black smoke in the distant horizon. Needless to say, it must be the opponent, the European Allied Forces.
The battleships on both sides are well known.
Before the war broke out, the Zhenxi Ship had chosen its first target, the Sea King, which was the latest battleship of the European Combined Fleet with the strongest comprehensive indicators.
Whether it is armor, mobility, or the number of naval guns, it exceeds that of the Zhenxi ship.
The only weakness is that they have killed many budding aliens during the witch-hunting campaign in the Middle Ages and have never recovered.
This is different from China, which does not have this kind of hunting behavior. On the contrary, cultivating Taoism and becoming immortals has always been popular... People with unique powers will be enshrined as immortals just by showing some supernatural powers.
This cultural atmosphere has formed the current advantage.
After reminiscing, Wen Rensheng began to do what he should do.
Not long after, the war broke out.
When the two sides approached within ten kilometers, the Zhenxi ship first opened fire at the extreme range.
"Mysterious sniper technique, sure to hit!"
Wen Rensheng only heard a hoarse shout, and then he was dumbfounded to see that the four largest 305mm main guns flashed a blue light at the same time, and then roared in unison!
Four 329-kilogram artillery shells hit the Sea King in the combined fleet at the same time!
One shot into the soul!
One shot hit the front turret, another hit the bow of the ship, and another hit the nearby water surface just a few meters away, causing a near miss. The strong water pressure directly tore open the unarmored parts below the waterline.
The last shot hit the command room, completely paralyzing the combat effectiveness of this most powerful battleship.
This is the powerful role that aliens played on the battlefield hundreds of years ago...
There are no missiles, no fire control radar, and only human aiming calculations. The best hit rate of the main gun is only 3.
At this time, the mysterious skills of the aliens are equivalent to installing modern equipment in advance, and the advantages can be imagined.
It's a pity that this "sniper sure hit" technique was only used once, and then it went silent.
Needless to say, it is the unknown alien, whose mysterious power is not very high. He has to apply four 305mm cannon barrels at the same time, which has already reached the opponent's limit.
After watching the entire attack process, Wen Rensheng suddenly felt happy.
"You have observed the true essence of mysterious sniping. After learning the relevant knowledge, you will automatically master the basic mysterious sniping."
Sure enough, what the information said is correct. This Ocean Cemetery is a very good place for training and can cultivate many mysterious skills.
This is the first thing. You must know that there are too many mysterious skills that can appear in war.
Only he can't think of it, but nothing is impossible.
After all, the strongest form of expression of all the power accumulated by human beings is in war.
It will give full play to its greatest intelligence, most resources, strongest manpower, and best technology in order to strive for the final victory.
The true value of aliens is also reflected in war.
If a class cannot control the power of war, it is like a sheep. The fatter it is, the faster it will be killed.
The battle soon entered its most intense phase.
As the Sea King was paralyzed by the attack, the Zhenxi also became a thorn in the opponent's side.
The more powerful the exposed firepower point is, the greater the hatred will be attracted and the heavier the counterattack will be.
Cannonballs fell one after another around the ironclad ship.
There are even destroyers that rush forward and release torpedoes.
Emergency evasion, fire back.
At this time, our own destroyers also came to block the gun ports.
In fact, in this kind of formation battle, the survival rate of small ships is higher, because the target is not big, and the focus of bombarding each other falls on the other side's capital ships and secondary ships.
And because capital ships have thick armor and high survivability, the result is that secondary ships sink the most and kill the most people.
The battleship sinks very slowly, giving enough time to transfer people.
This is the legendary "the second oldest child is the unluckiest" law.
Not long after, Wen Rensheng got another chance to improve his skills.
"Torpedo warning!"
As three torpedoes attacked, I dodged two of them, but it seemed that I couldn't dodge the last one. At this time, suddenly a sailor jumped directly into the sea.
Not long after, a large wave appeared out of thin air, and the torpedo was forced to change its direction and passed by the tail of the ship.
"You have observed the essence of water control, and after learning the relevant knowledge, you will automatically master the primary water control."
