Within the cold steel, Landseer's sailors were desperately adding coal to the boiler of their battleship. The sound of the boiler was deafening, and black smoke rolled through the chimney and sprayed on the peaceful sea.
The cannons of the battleships have begun to rotate, and Landseer's naval battleships are still rampant in the Southeast Asia, invincible in the world.
General Lawns stood on the bridge of his ship, staring at the port in the distance with his binoculars, and ordered: "Fire when you are ready, don't wait for my order!"
"Yes! Your Majesty General!" The captain stood at attention and saluted, and then turned away from the fleet commander's position. He gave the order to his weapons officer, and then the battleship began to roar.
The battleship Conqueror opened fire first, followed closely by the Hero. The two dreadnoughts erupted with dazzling fire, and Shakeburn, which had already been sacked once by Landseer's navy, once again raised a cloud of black smoke.
Landseer's battleships are simply monsters to these mortal empires. No matter what kind of battleships these countries develop, there is no way to fight against such a powerful existence.
You know, although this kind of battleship is only the first generation battleship, it is still the main battleship of the navy in the new era, and its combat effectiveness is very powerful.
Even if these countries have developed warships such as ironclads in order to fight against these Landseer warships, there is still a clear gap in firepower and maneuverability.
After all, these mortal countries can only find Lansir's export-type steam engines, which are actually not as powerful as the steam engines used by Lansir's navy.
In terms of artillery, the actual test of artillery calibers above 300 mm is no longer simply the ability to cast cannons, but the comprehensive metallurgical level of a country.
The puppet empire can use expensive raw materials such as ferrous iron regardless of cost, and rely on puppet soldiers to expand the size of artillery regardless of weight. However, a country that dares to be like the puppet empire regardless of cost and weight, and can also rely on strong accumulation to ensure a certain level of casting, is really too much.
Too little.
Therefore, when these countries took 130 mm caliber cannons or barely cast 170 mm caliber cannons to fight against Landseer's 305 mm caliber cannons, their defeat seemed natural.
The truth is so cruel. Although Landseer invested the least in the navy and the navy's weapons and equipment were generally the most backward, it still crushed the poor mortal empires in the south.
The reason is also very simple, that is, these mortal empires invest less money in the navy than Lancier. Although Lancier's navy is generally stagnant at the level before World War I, its opponents are not even at the level of Russian naval warfare.
Not yet!
"I heard that we are going to launch 10 large-tonnage cruisers at once... This is a good thing." Standing next to Genesis, the adjutant started chatting about the cable messages from the rear.
There is really no need for them to command. Every time they go south to plunder, it is a grand carnival for the navy. Along the way, these navies attack cities and territory, and practice various landing operations and artillery operations. Their experience is really rich and cannot be richer.
Every time they go to a city, they will plunder a large amount of money and supplies, just like pirates. They will live and die happily, even if the weapons and equipment in their hands are too backward compared to the air force and the army, there is no
Make them sad.
Anyway, their opponents' warships are more backward, so they don't mind using these warships from before World War I to fight a war that is almost approaching the level of the Cold War.
"Yes, I heard that the Osa Shipyard is still building a new type of warship, equipped with a 406 mm caliber naval gun, thicker armor and a more powerful engine." Royce nodded, expressing his disapproval of this kind of warship.
I am very much looking forward to the new battleship.
He likes the feeling of watching his opponents disappear within his sight. He prefers real naval guns to fancy things like missiles.
Although Landseer is also building more missile destroyers, battleships and aircraft carriers are also in the construction sequence.
It's not that Lancier was wasting his own supplies, nor is it that Lancier is particularly fond of battleships and other backward warships, it's that Lancier as a whole doesn't know what kind of battleships they need.
The enemy has not yet appeared. In this case, no one can say whether modern guided missile destroyers have more advantages or ancient battleships are more effective. After all, missile technology is not yet mature, and hit accuracy is still relatively limited.
In addition, the defensive capabilities of guided missile destroyers are limited, and the lightweight battleship hull itself also represents a serious lack of defensive capabilities. Battleships have unique advantages in this regard, with thick armor and strong defense, making battleships even better in defense.
What's more interesting is that the defense mode of this world strengthens the battleship's advantage in defense: due to its size, the battleship can be engraved with larger city-level defensive magic arrays, and can also be equipped with more powerful magic crystal charging devices.
In this way, the defensive power that tens of thousands of tons of battleships can provide is more than a little stronger than that of destroyers of only a few thousand tons. Therefore, the wealthy Landseer built three more Iowas in one go.
-class battleship.
The defense of this type of battleship is very good, and there are modern and modified versions that can be directly copied. It also has thick defensive armor and extremely fast speed, which fully meets the various requirements of Landseer Navy.
Jumping from a dreadnought to a super battlecruiser designed at the end of World War II, Origins felt like he was enveloped in the light of happiness.
What's even more interesting is that Landseer started building three such battleships in one go. Together with the two aircraft carriers, artillery cruisers and guided missile destroyers that were being built, Genesis' naval strength increased by at least three times in one go!
After seeing that the country began to replenish the navy, the navy officers and soldiers who were originally inferior people immediately became more motivated and even began to go south more often.
Recently, because they have to cooperate with Kolya's 5th Army's southward attack, they have indeed received orders to go south to attack the enemy's ports.
"It's really interesting to think about it. We originally only had a few dozen warships, but now because of the military expansion plan, we plan to build hundreds of warships at once. That magic eye that doesn't exist at all, think about it, is really the benefactor of our navy." Adjutant
He didn't take the battle in front of him seriously at all, he just happily talked about the plan to expand the army.
The enemy in front of them really had nothing to take seriously. The fort had been destroyed the first time it came, and it seems that only a small section has been repaired so far.
The number of artillery pieces on the fort was so pitiful that they didn't even attack the cruisers of Landseer's naval fleet, so they hung up the white flag for peace of mind.
Then, the entire Xia Keben became a fish on the chopping board, which was rounded and flattened by Lansier's fleet.
Several tall buildings were hit by artillery shells and collapsed, and thick smoke billowed into the city. This battle was more like a one-sided artillery training, and the intensity was not as intense as Landseer's own naval military exercises.
"Nonsense! The mathematician named Sandy believes that the distribution of these magic eyes is regular. As the navy of the empire, we should be vigilant! This is our war zone! We will fight to the end!" Lawns
Said seriously.
In fact, he was very happy in his heart. If it weren't for the magic eye that might not appear, he, the commander-in-chief of the navy, might never be able to hold his head up in this life.
The Army has intercontinental ballistic missiles, and the Air Force has even used advanced jet fighters. But his Navy is still a pitiful little kitten.
Seeing his boss suppressing a smile while speaking without sincerity, the adjutant felt very good. At least Royce was happy. He could relax and relax these days.
The navy is not like the army. Their tactics are robbery, so their combat process is relatively happy: if you steal gold, you may have to hand it over, but if you steal other things, the management is not so standardized.
Therefore, if livestock such as pigs and cows are snatched, you can turn a blind eye to slaughter and eat them to improve your own food; similarly, if you seize some playing cards and gambling equipment, you can have fun on the ship; and if you seize alcohol...
Well, the Navy has never seized alcohol, at least officially, the Navy has never seized a drop of alcohol, not a drop.
"However, the weather in the past few days has been too abnormal... How can there be such weather as a storm in the south at this time of year?" Genesis picked up the telescope and looked at the other side of his battleship.
In the distant horizon, he could see the dark clouds covering the sky, and there was lightning and thunder over there. He knew at a glance that the weather conditions were extremely bad.
"Looking at the direction and scale, it seems to be in the north, and it's very large." The adjutant was also an old sailor, and he could tell at just one glance that the sea conditions there were really bad.
"I heard that the flagship Dreadnought is performing missions in that sea area... It's really a worrying thing." Royce put down the telescope, and the smile that he couldn't hide just now has faded away, replaced by a deep smile.
worries.
In fact, it's not just him, many people are worried about the Endless Sea. The two most important satellite launch centers in Landhill have launched four artificial satellites in succession, strengthening the surveillance of that area.
Unfortunately, the nearby clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and the observation conditions of the reconnaissance satellites are getting worse and worse. The only one that can provide information about the situation near the stormy sea area is the battleship Dreadnought.
