Extraordinary Sailing

beep--!

The two teams had a total of twelve silver-painted [Full Heavy Artillery Battleships] flying the blue long-flag of Phalatis, braved the wind and waves, and sailed majestically across the wide water surface outside Newin Harbor.

The military parade specially held to celebrate the completion of the first modern battleship fleet of the Kingdom of Phalatis caused countless residents in the port with colorful flags to scream and cheer.

However, foreign businessmen and tourists who also came here to watch, but at the same time enviously cursed that their own navy was full of empty pockets.

This modern fleet, which is still constantly being updated, marks that Tulip's dominance over the sea has once again leapt to a new level.

Whether it is the caliber of the artillery or the displacement, it has completely crushed the ocean countries.

The alliance's huge colonial territory and maritime trade lines are destined to be impenetrable and unbreakable under such a powerful force!

Among the twelve battleships, [Full Heavy Artillery Battleship Dreadnought Class] is already very mature.

The three [Post-Dreadnought Class] built by the Kingdom were also launched, and they were even more shocking than the [Fearless Class] in terms of size and gun caliber.

[Specifications] Ship size: 177.1 meters x 26.5 meters x 7.3 meters; full load displacement: 25,870 tons; crew: 750 people.

[Armor]: The side main armor belt is 305 mm, the armored bulkhead is 254 mm, the armor around the conning tower is 280 mm, the deck armor is 102 mm, the armor around the turret is 280 mm, the top is 102 mm, and the gun mount is 254 mm.

[Armament]: 10 dual 343mm45-caliber naval guns; 16 102mm rapid-fire guns; 3 533mm torpedo tubes.

[Power]: 18 coal-fired steam boilers, 4 steam turbines; the maximum output power of the main engine: 31,000 horsepower, and the speed: 24 knots.

The main difference is:

[Dreadnought Class] For the first time, the concept of "full-mounted heavy artillery" was proposed, and the large-caliber secondary guns on the side were completely eliminated. All the main guns were unified into heavy main guns of the same model and caliber, which were installed in the rotating turrets on the front, rear and side. .

Since all the main guns have the same model and the same ballistic performance, centralized fire control can be realized, which greatly improves the shooting efficiency and hit rate.

The [Post-Dreadnought Class] not only increased the caliber of the main gun and the thickness of the armor, but also creatively installed all the turrets on the central axis of the battleship.

This design allows it to fire on both sides with all the main guns, and the firepower density and accuracy are improved again.

Of course, this design also extends all the way to the [Super Fearless] that the Principality is building.

From November 192 to summer 202 in the Haiyuan calendar.

The two companies only produced ten [Dreadnought-class] ships, and each ship is slightly different, just to continuously collect parameters and prepare for future improvements.

On the local side of Phalatis dominated by the "Cult of Steam and Mechanics", the update and iteration speed of battleships is not much slower than that of the Principality.

Especially under the conditions of data sharing and interoperability between the two parties, the shipbuilding technology of the two companies is second to none in the material world.

The Principality's Brunswick Naval Shipyard and the Kingdom's Portsmouth Shipyard have both become large state-owned military giants, and they can even be called the Kingdom of Arms.

While building this material world's strongest weapon for human beings, its various technical reserves are also growing rapidly.

Its various departments and branches alone can independently complete the design and construction of large-caliber naval guns, special armor steel, power plant, hull shape and internal structure.

And complete the final assembly of the battleship through sophisticated integration capabilities.

In other words, you can quickly rampage troops as long as you need them.

At this time.

Above the head of the fleet, a huge airship was flying over the side of the fleet close to the sea.

Rivina, who was dressed in full dress with the [Sword of Rose Thorn Stem] tied around her waist, waved to the naval soldiers lining up on the deck through the glass window of the airship.

In exchange, the soldiers shouted wildly: "Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"

Her Majesty the Queen in the airship wears a sapphire sword emblem crown and a white pear diamond necklace on her slender neck like a white swan.

There is a golden belt of glazed flowers tied around Yingying's waist, star earrings beside her ears, and a jeweled tiger bracelet on her left hand.

The dignified blue dress on her body fits perfectly with her slender figure. Of course, it also shows that the body data provided by Aiwen for the female officials is exactly the same.

Although the beautiful Her Majesty looks like an underage girl, against the backdrop of this series of jewelry, she is dignified and majestic.

After the airship circled around and began to return, Liwena turned her head to look at Aiwen behind her and smiled softly:

"I heard from Hersey that the construction of your [Super Fearless Prince] has already started? After adding the backward [Fearless Class] to the list of foreign arms trade, has the order been softened?"

Just like the trading rifle, the Principality of Garriott has already opened up the foreign trade version of the low-end warship to those allies of the [Monarch's Shield] before Phalatis.

Including the [Post-Dreadnought Class] is only a transitional concept, and the number of constructions is even smaller than that of the [Dreadnought Class]. In the future, only the [Super Dreadnought Class] that has completed the power system upgrade will be launched into service in the Principality.

Ai Wen leaned on the luxurious leather seat and waved his hands in disinterest:

"So-so. Since Milan was successfully promoted to [Truth Concrete] a month ago, he has the ability to directly go deep into the mantle to extract the underground liquid gold river (Chapter 659).

I have completely lost interest in things like gold.

Alas, I have lost another one of the joys of life I have had for many years.

Forget about gold cutlery, decorations, cars, tables and chairs, etc., even the toilets in White Swan Castle were replaced by gold.

Monotonous, dull, unartistic, can you imagine the pain? "

Snapped!

Liwena stretched out her hand and patted Ivan's shoulder lightly, pinching her waist and complaining dissatisfiedly:

"Hey, your words that seem to be bragging on the surface are actually true, but it makes people even more angry!"

At this moment, as if he had noticed something, Aiwen suddenly sat up straight, with a funny expression on his face:

"It's really interesting, there are still people coming to touch porcelain today."

Snapped--!

He snapped his fingers casually.

[Mind Network] has already projected the scene on the sea in the distance into this cabin where there are only the two of them.

I don't know when a light mist rose from the sea.

Rubbing the border of the territorial waters of the Tulip Alliance, three [High-Speed ​​Cruiser City Defense Class] belonging to the Lowland Republic were slowly passing by.

Of course, this kind of small battleship is not useless compared with [Full Heavy Artillery Battleship].

Both [Dreadnought Class] and [Post-Dreadnought Class] have a speed of 24 knots, while [High Speed ​​Cruiser City Defense Class] can reach a speed of 26 knots, which is also a strategic extension of the [International League of Democracy] navy.

At this time, [Mind Network] also captured the radio conversation between the fleet and the alliance defenders, and it was clearly transmitted to the ears of the two.

Phalatis Navy: "Please change your ship's course to face south 15 degrees to avoid collision."

Republic Navy: "It is recommended to change your course 15 degrees north to avoid collision."

Phalatis Navy: "No, you must change your course 15 degrees south to avoid collision."

Republic Navy: "This is the captain of the great Republic Navy warship, I repeat, change your course!"

Phalatis Navy: "No, I repeat, you must change your course!"

For a while, the atmosphere on both sides was a little tense.

But when she heard this, Liwena nodded. This kind of tough style can only match her own military strength, and she will reward this naval officer later.

Immediately afterwards.

The tone of the Republic Navy raised three octaves. Although he didn't dare to enter the alliance's territorial waters, he didn't hesitate to speak louder than anyone else:

"This is the fleet of three cruisers of the Republic Navy, and there are many support warships in the rear.

I ask you to change course 15 degrees north. I repeat, 15 degrees north. Otherwise, we will take countermeasures to ensure the safety of our fleet! "

The Phalatis Navy paused for a while, as if they had made a compromise under the tough attitude of the other party, and then said quietly: "Oh, I am here. Lighthouse, you can do whatever you want."

While speaking, the officer turned on the high-power signal light of this border lighthouse, which illuminated the mist on the sea and allowed the Republic fleet to see the yellow light with naked eyes.

Republic Navy: Turn me around! turn! quick--!

"cluck cluck"

Her Majesty the Queen, who was sitting next to Ivan, leaned on his shoulder regardless of her manners and laughed.

During this period of time, the confrontation and provocation between [International League of Democracy] and [Monarch Shield] have intensified, and friction at sea is just commonplace.

Although the demands of the mortal country and the gods are not completely consistent, but this time, it is very rare to completely reach a consensus.

It's just that I didn't expect such a big oolong to happen.

After a while.

Taking Aiwen's handkerchief to dry the tears from the corners of her eyes, Liwena looked at Aiwen with a relaxed face and said with some doubts:

"Even if the crucial ancient god is out of trouble, you don't seem to be too worried about the evil god's next move?"

But I saw Aiwen smiled mysteriously with confidence in his chest:

"Since the evil god has his own plan, can't I have one?"

The voice just fell.

There seemed to be sacred bells and the sound of waves slowly ringing in the ears of the two, as if a certain great existence had sent a urging signal.
