"They are coal-burning people. I have never heard of anyone blowing up the coal."
"Their ships are bigger than ours and have better sinking resistance than ours. They won't have any problems if they take a hit."
"Their companions are nearby and they can be rescued by jumping into the sea. We will die if we jump into the sea."
…
Two armed speedboats were lost at once, which was almost a blow to the head. The George fleet had to avoid the waters off Nassau, and there was a heated discussion on the remaining six ships of the fleet. Everyone agreed that -
—My commander is out of his mind!
Of course, this can only be thought about privately.
George, who led the fleet, still had the command, but he was unwilling to go all the way and leave in disgrace. He still wanted to find an opportunity to retaliate. The way to retaliate was to blockade!
How can I do this when I came all this way and achieved no results at all? I won’t leave! I will stay near Nassau and fight guerrillas. I will not allow any ships to enter the port of Nassau. I will cut off your internal and external connections and look for opportunities to see what I can do.
You can't do anything big.
This was Commander George's tactics in Matanzas, constant harassment and attacks, making it impossible for the enemy to live a normal life. He decided to copy it to Nassau.
Nassau, on the other hand, did not seem to care about George's six ships. It did not dispatch its killer AC-130u to drive them away, nor did it take off an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to search and investigate, as if nothing happened.
The enemy's nervous and impulsive revenge that George imagined did not happen at all. The entire Nassau sea area was quiet, except for the crackling of the thin ice on the sea surface, and only the crew members who were frozen into dogs kept complaining. He had to contact the lurking crew through radio
'007' Wade in Nassau received the news that there was no movement on the island.
"What happened to the people on the island? I blocked their port, but they didn't react at all." After staying on guard for a day, George felt that he was being ignored like a fool. The most terrible thing was that the people he led
Six armed speedboats cannot operate at sea for a long time. If the enemy cannot die, he will have no choice but to leave in despair.
"Shameless, obscene, despicable, without any military temperament! They blocked the door of our house, and they didn't react at all. They are simply fearless cowards." Commander George is unwilling to give in. Come out and give me a fight.
ah!
Did the high-ranking advisor of the Enclave military advisory group come all this way just to get slapped twice by his opponent? The most hateful thing is that the opponent won a game and stopped fighting. This clearly shows that he does not want to make a comeback.
What a chance!
George hated this so much that he decided to wait another day. If his opponent didn't come out alive, he could proudly go back and declare that it was because he was too powerful and the enemy was afraid of avoiding battle.
At this moment, in the dock of the Nassau Ship Repair Yard, the steam battleship that had completed the installation of the boiler had been renovated. This ship was barely usable. Anyway, it was an emergency product. It could run for a month or two without leaking. It was marked with
If you don't sink in one or two battles, you'll get your money back.
The dock opened the locks and released water, and after the warship floated, the boiler was started. After more than an hour, the pressure of the boiler was full, and the steam turbine was pushed to gain power for the warship. Captain Derek of the Aurora personally led a group of sailors to board the ship and drove
The ship left the dock and began its trial voyage.
"Not bad, not as bad as expected." Captain Derek was still very satisfied with the conditions of the initial trial. It was a miracle that a steam battleship could be modified in a short period of time. "The engine room was forced to ventilate, and kerosene was sprayed into the boiler.
, increase the power and let’s see how fast we can run at full speed.”
Zhou Qingfeng conveniently obtained several oil tanks and dozens of tons of old kerosene. The kerosene had too much residue and could not be used for anything else but could only be used for burning.
The engine room sprayed kerosene into the boiler, and the fire suddenly surged, with thick smoke billowing from the chimney. The power of the steam turbine also increased by at least 30%, and the entire battleship immediately exceeded the designed maximum speed of fifteen knots and reached ten
Section eight.
The thousand-ton steam battleship ran at 18 knots, and it was really a bit majestic. But at this time, the sea search radar on the ship found several targets that were approaching quickly. Looking at the speed of the ship, it didn't take much thinking to know that they were the first two targets.
Those armed speedboats that came to cause trouble.
The first mate on the ship immediately suggested: "Captain, should we retreat to the defense circle of the floating turret?"
"No, let the turret be ready. We are armed for sea trials." Captain Derek refused, "We will fire when the enemy approaches."
Due to too much haste, the main turret of the steam battleship is an M777 155mm caliber army howitzer. It is said that this gun can only hit fixed targets on the ground, and has no way to deal with speedboats running around at sea.
Guided artillery shells!
The 'Copperhead' laser-guided artillery shell is a somewhat old item. In order to make this artillery shell effective, a fire guidance team works on the bridge of the battleship. A full set of artillery observation equipment and laser target designators are deployed
, the sea is still calm at this moment, and the target is the armed speedboat approaching at high speed.
At this moment, Commander George also discovered on his radar the steam battleship of the 'Aurora Legion' that had just come out for trial sea trials. As soon as he saw that a big target had come out, Commander George was simply overjoyed. He was waiting to make great achievements and spread his name throughout the world.
, I have been waiting impatiently for a long time!
When the radar speed measurement showed that the target was only traveling at 18 knots, and billowing black smoke was seen in the sky, Commander George did not take his opponent to heart, "Hahaha..., these idiots really made a steam battleship."
But at this speed, there is absolutely no way it can escape our pursuit. Now it can’t escape even if it wants to, so let’s go up and beat it to death!”
In order to teach the 'Aurora Legion' a harsh lesson, Commander George decided to use the killer weapon he had always hidden away - the 'Hellfire' missile. This missile was originally installed on an M1117 armored vehicle, and now it is launched together with
The rack was installed on Commander George's ship.
'Hellfire' has a range of ten kilometers and is extremely powerful. George decided not to give his opponent any chance to counterattack this time, and to kill the opponent first. "Go forward! When the opponent is ten kilometers away, I will kill the opponent with my own hands."
"
The aggressive Commander George was full of resentment, and he decided to take revenge today no matter what. For the two armed speedboats that were sunk two days ago, for the men who died on the sunken speedboats, and for the other party's idiotic floating.
The humiliation he suffered in front of the fort made him decide to...
The commander's inspirational mood was brewing, but a large-caliber artillery shell fell from the sky, and a violent explosion exploded on the sea. The roaring sound shook Mr. George's brains out. In front of everyone in the fleet, another
An armed speedboat was in serious trouble.
"Hey, where did this shell come from?" Commander George looked at the shell that just hit his speedboat and didn't react for a long time. "Theoretically, I should fire first!"
It's just that this time the captains of the remaining five speedboats in the entire fleet had a tacit understanding and completely ignored their commander's bullshit 'theories'. They turned around and ran away when they saw something was wrong. No one wanted to stay to verify whether the theory was correct.
