Extraordinary Sailing

New Continent, the south side of the "World Bridge" connecting the Black Sea and the Broken Star Sea.

call out! call out! call out! call out!

The orange-red flames that lit up in an instant joined together, almost re-illuminating the darkening sky in the evening, and rockets rose into the sky like spears thrown by Vulcan.

Swoop to the federal position eight kilometers away.

[Rocket Launcher: Black Sokin's Iron Fist of Justice]

The [221 rapid-fire gun] of the principality's imitation [Saker M217 rapid-fire gun] also fired simultaneously, pouring all the shells like raindrops on the heads of the federal people.

Among them, the biggest hero is the [treasure girl] named "Purple Conch".

Her body is the first 【Purple Lacquer Golden Box with Mother-of-pearl and Fish and Algae Pattern】, which is the most primitive root of human civilization.

With Olivia's promotion to [Concrete Truth], the power of the [Treasure Girls] has also been greatly enhanced, especially Zi Luo's fundamental ability [Sage of Civilization].

Effect: As long as it is in the material world, the technology developed with the technology in the box as the ultimate source can be easily cracked, copied, and inferred by her.

Ai Wen also gave her a very apt nickname "Return the same way to the other body"!

However, when [221 Rapid Fire Cannon] joined the battlefield under the catalysis of [Industrial Mother Machine], the "King of Land Warfare" who ruled the battlefield has already fast forwarded to [Rocket Launcher].

So far, Aiwen has also realized his rhetoric when he played a guest role as an arms dealer:

"On the battlefield of the future, we must unleash steel and fire, not soldiers.

Leaving countless bomb craters on the enemy's position can make people jump from one bomb crater to another terrifying density. This is the great art of changing geography with artillery fire!

Adequate logistical support plus fire coverage that doesn't talk about martial arts, apart from anything else, it's just one word-bomb me! "

At this time, the time has come to the second half of the 221st year of the Haiyuan calendar. After the stalemate on the western front, the confrontation has become a "flesh and blood mill" that wiped out tens of millions of lives.

Due to the intrusion of the "Rebirth Legion" on the Eastern Front, a lot of chaos occurred. But as long as a sufficient supply of oil can be guaranteed, the High Command did not expect Heimar to achieve any major results.

The decline of the Atlan Republic on the northern line has become apparent, and the limited cruiser fleet in its hands has been broken by the Phalatis Navy one after another.

If it weren't for the opponents in the Tulip Sea, as well as the Lowland Republic and the Sark Empire, Atlan's navy would be reset to zero.

During this period, the three parties fought in the Black Sea, the Zhenbao Sea, and the Eritrean Sea. Of course, the merchant ships in these major sea areas also suffered bad luck.

The only good news is that after the war, countries have successively adopted international conventions such as the "Ransom Rules" and the "Black Sea Convention".

All parties in naval battles are required not to kill or injure the crew when taking military action against the enemy's unarmed merchant ships, and to provide safe means of evacuation for the crew.

In layman's terms, it's okay to rob ships and goods, but you must ensure that "money is not life".

This situation is much more advanced than the previous "when you arrive in the middle of the river, do you want to eat noodles or wontons (killed or thrown into water)".

And on the decisive New World battlefield.

The vice-kingdom of La Plata, which survived thirty years from the Cyrus Empire, has fallen as a whole, and the vice-kingdom of New Granada in the north has become the main battlefield between the Principality and the Federation.

It was also a veritable Civil War.

The population of the Principality has risen rapidly from 12.2 million when the Westward Expansion Movement just started, to 54 million with a high natural growth rate of 5% per year. Moreover, the population structure is excellent, and talents are emerging in an endless stream.

Even if Aiwen didn't have to do everything himself, the army had already begun to brew a major counterattack on its own. The officers of the young and strong faction were gearing up, and the ultimate strategic goal was to unify the entire 42 million square kilometers of the New World.

Build an unprecedented empire on Helag!

However, before that, the fleets of both sides had already ushered in their own decisive battle at sea.

Deep in the Sea of ​​Broken Stars, on the north side of the Donger Islands.

The federal fleet has a total of 99 warships: 16 full-heavy artillery battleships, 5 battlecruisers, and 78 fast cruisers, divided into two formations, traveling from south to north, and 12 submarines patrolling the sea.

The principality fleet has a total of 151 warships: 28 battleships of all levels, 9 battlecruisers, 112 fast cruisers, 1 minelayer, and 1 seaplane carrier.

now.

The flagship of the Principality of Garriott is no longer the [Super Fearless Prince Prince], but the temporarily unique [Halberd of King Power].

[Basic parameters]: The length of the ship is 263 meters; the width of the ship is 38.9 meters; the full-load displacement is 73,000 tons; the crew: 2,400; the total armor protection weight is 22,895 tons;

[Power]: 12 oil-fired boilers, 4 steam turbines, the output power of the main engine is 153,000 horsepower, the oil storage capacity is 6,400 tons, and the transmission is 4 shafts.

[Armment]: Three triple-mounted 45-caliber 460mm naval guns, a total of 9; four triple-mounted 60-caliber 155mm naval guns, a total of 12; 12 double-mounted 127mm naval guns, a total of 24;

45 triple-mounted and 21 single-mounted 25mm naval guns, a total of 156; two double-mounted 13.2mm machine guns, a total of 4; two quadruple-mounted 533mm torpedo tubes; 7 carrier-based aircraft.

The main materials of [Halberd of King Power] are [Titanium Alloy] and [Large Tow Carbon Fiber]. Even in Aiwen's previous life, this is the pinnacle of a giant ship cannon era.

On the other hand, for the Federation.

The bankers are no doubt committed to creating wars and making the governments of the [International League of Democracy] desperate to borrow money. Normal people see blood, bankers see money.

It's just that although they are greedy, they have not forgotten that force is the basis of their own financial empire rule.

Especially after twenty years of continuous friction, they also realized that with the current level of technology, battleships and stronger battleships are the right way, and everything else is crooked.

In line with this concept, the flagship [Light of Democracy] built by them with all their efforts in the whole country should not be underestimated.

【Basic parameters】Captain length: 253.6 meters; ship width: 36.0 meters; full load displacement: 52900 tons; crew: 2600 people Maximum speed: 30 knots.

[Power]: 12 high-pressure heavy oil boilers; 3 steam turbine engines; maximum stable power: 150,000 horsepower; 3-axis propulsion.

[Armment] Four double-mounted 8 380mm naval guns; six double-mounted 12 150mm naval guns; eight double-mounted 16 105mm naval guns; eight double-mounted 16 37mm anti-aircraft guns guns; 6 20mm anti-aircraft guns; 18 quadruple-mounted 72 20mm anti-aircraft guns; two quadruple-mounted 533mm torpedo tubes; 4 carrier-based aircraft.

beep--!

Thick smoke billowed, and steel creations representing the peak technology and force of human beings overwhelmed the sea and covered the sky, and even those bloodthirsty star-breaking sea monsters were running for their lives.

Da da da.

Before the fleet joined the battle, the air forces of both sides had already started a fierce air exchange. Man-made aircraft replaced the flying dragons that were active in this sea area in ancient times, spewing flames in the sky.

War is the best catalyst for weapons and tactics, and the air force's tactics are rapidly maturing in combat.

They used various advantages such as height, speed, and tactical actions to come to the rear position of the enemy plane, and then shot from the nose. The "tail biting" mode has become one of the most basic tactics in air combat.

The principality's ace pilot, Laverbury, has made further improvements to this tactic.

A formation consisting of at least six "horned eagle fighters" circled and climbed in a circle during flight, so as to gain an altitude advantage and attack, is called the "Laverbury circle".

Woo--!

Above the fleet, there were continuous aircrafts pulling black smoke from the sky, falling into the sea and exploding.

[Halberd of King Power] On the bridge as tall as a mountain, Aiwen's "clone" wearing a marshal's waist and hips [Golden Lion Sword in Mother Shell] waved his hand vigorously:

"It's been so many years, it's not easy. It's finally time for us to crush the enemy ships with our superior force. Order: The whole fleet, the squadron line formation, catch up with me, kill him cleanly !"

"Prince received!"

"White Moonlight Received!"

"Red Rose Received!"

"Sharpshooter received!"

"."

Suddenly, an unharmonious voice came from the radio waves, from the cruiser in charge of reconnaissance in front of the fleet:

"Report! An unknown warship was found at eight o'clock, and the distance is 25 kilometers! It is a sailing warship!"

[Mind Network] has been synchronously connected to the screen.

call--!

An antique-class sailing warship, which is very rare in this era, is sailing past the periphery of the battlefield from east to west, forming a triangle with the fleets of the two countries.

There are six extremely thick masts at the front, middle and rear, and the ship's side is covered with layers of pitch-black armor that looks like scales and giant nails, with an extremely cold and hard metallic luster.

The total length is 269.06 meters, the width is 28.19 meters, the draft is 10.5 meters, the height from the waterline to the deck is 18.3 meters, the displacement is 52,310 tons, and the speed is 24 knots.

It is even bigger than the [Halberd of King Power]. It is more like a ferocious prehistoric behemoth than a warship with sails.

And it seems to be afraid that others will not see it.

Not only swaggering past the large fleets of the two countries that were about to engage in battle, but also let out a deep and extremely depressed sigh of the dead from inside the hull.

"well--!"

Shrouded in a sense of sadness as if everything was withering, a line of tears flowed from the eyes of more than 100,000 naval soldiers from the two countries at the same time.
