Chapter 307: Super Battleship, Strong Enemy Overwhelm (Text)
After listening to the merman girl's report, Li Qing exclaimed: "Even the super battleship Amaterasu, which is known as the Zhenguo battleship, has been dispatched!" The Amaterasu Army is really determined to win this battle! β
Li Qingzhi said that the so-called "super battleship" is not much bigger than a first-class battleship. The number of gun emplacements and the number of combatants will not be much more than that of a first-class battleship.
The reason why it can be called "super" is because the construction methods of warships of that class are very different from ordinary warships.
Every super battleship has to use a large amount of precious materials that are enough to make low-level spiritual weapons. Key parts such as masts, sails, etc., are even more likely to use materials that can create mid-level spiritual weapons.
A large number of precious materials are gathered together, and the initial spiritual processing is carried out by the low- and middle-level refiners, and then the battleships are created by the most skilled shipwrights, and the battleships are post-processed by the high-level refiners.
In this way, the minimum construction period of each super warship is ten years. The amount of money consumed during this period is enough to directly bankrupt some small countries. Some small countries, even if they can build one with all their might, cannot afford to maintain it. Because the annual maintenance cost of the super battleship is at least equivalent to one-fifteenth of the cost. If you go to sea to go to war, it will cost you more.
With Amaterasu's national strength, it can only maintain one super battleship.
The three major fleets of the Empire, with seven super battleships in service, and thirteen super battleships, are being built on the slipway - in peacetime, the Empire only needs these seven super battleships to be able to conquer the four empires, but it is not that it can't afford to build more.
In fact, with the strong national power of the empire, it was enough to maintain twenty super battleships at the same time. If you are desperate to explode troops to the limit, thirty super battleships can barely sustain it.
Super battleships are so difficult to build and cost so much, and their power is naturally extraordinary.
Take the Amaterasu as an example, its ultimate speed is as high as 25 knots. And the world's fastest first-class battleship can only run to ten knots when the wind is downwind. The speed of twenty-five knots is as fast as that of some small sailing boats specially designed for racing.
Amaterasu is not yet the fastest. The fastest super warship in the East is the "White Dragon" of the North Sea Fleet, with an extreme speed of up to 30 knots!
Therefore, even if the super battleships do not have any other characteristics, this super speed alone is enough for them to easily kill all ordinary warships.
However, superships aren't just fast.
Their hulls are also impregnable, ignoring bombardment from ordinary artillery. In the face of ordinary first-class battleships, they only need to drive full power to directly impact them, and they can send any first-class battleship to the bottom of the sea.
The guns on the super battleship, each of which can be regarded as a low-level spiritual weapon.
The low-level artifact-level cannon body allows them to withstand larger charges, fire heavier shells, and have a range and power far beyond ordinary artillery. It can even fire special ammunition that is completely incapable of being fired by ordinary artillery.
Therefore, the super battleship is not only invincible in naval battles, but can also easily suppress coastal batteries and cover the landing of the army beyond the range of coastal batteries.
And those who can serve on super battleships are the elite of the elite. Even an ordinary sailor must at least have the strength of the bronze level. And those who can serve as the captain of super battleships are generally strong people of the Zhenguo class.
It's just that Amaterasu doesn't have a strong person in the town country now. Originally, there were three strong people in the town, but they were all descendants of the three gods of Amaterasu, and it was natural for them to maintain the rule of the three gods, so they were naturally killed by the Glorious Church.
Therefore, the only super battleship in Amaterasu Province is now the captain of a pillar country pole powerhouse who believes in the Lord of Radiance, named Sakamoto Tokita. Although he is only a pillar powerhouse, his personal strength is quite outstanding. His command ability is second to none among the admirals of the Amaterasu Navy.
With the strong strength of the Amaterasu, if there is no Li Qing and others stationed on Zhongshan Island, only this super battleship can defeat Zhongshan Island.
What's more, in addition to the Amaterasu, there are 52 warships of all classes and 40 transport ships that can carry 20,000 troops.
And with such a huge scale of a fleet, there must be a large number of strong people in it, and there will also be sea monster troops such as Isohime and Bull Ghost to escort the large fleet.
This kind of force is simply suffocating!
"The island of Nakayama is not worth such a big fight by Amaterasu. They should want to use Zhongshan Island as a springboard to enter Yingzhou after occupying Zhongshan Island. β
There is no need to guess, with the geography of Zhongshan Island and Yingzhou, anyone with a little common sense can come to this conclusion.
On the earth, Japan also occupied the Ryukyus first, and then sought Taiwan.
It's just that the empire of this worldly realm, although it also has all kinds of drawbacks, is by no means as incompetent as the Manchu Qing on the earth. Amaterasu's gamble may not be wonβeven if it does, it won't hurt the empire. And if the bet is lost...... Amaterasu is almost crippled.
"Inform Hanyan and ask her to withdraw immediately. The strength of the Amaterasu army is generally clear, and there is no need to explore it in detail, so as not to be captured and killed by Amaterasu's strong man. Li Qing said to the merman girl: "I also inform all the cruising mermen to withdraw to Zhongshan Island and not stay outside, so as not to encounter the strong patrol of Amaterasu." β
The merman girl answered yes and dived into the sea to send a message.
The sharks have a special set of communication methods, which can communicate instantly with distant companions in the sea, and the maximum communication distance is up to 80 nautical miles. It was precisely for this reason that Hanyan, who was cruising 60 nautical miles north of Zhongshan Island, was able to transmit the information back as soon as he discovered the Amaterasu fleet, and the mermaids who remained in the harbor received the report.
After ordering the recall of the cruising merman, Li Qing took Su Su and others and walked quickly to the military port, saying as he went:
"Lingfeng, Sister Yuanyuan, you go and inform all the officers of the fleet and above to gather at the military port fortress campus for a meeting. Scarlett, Kiki, go to the hilltop fortress, gather all the officers of the Marine Corps above the rank of lieutenant, and the leader of the Amaterasu troops, and come to the port campus for a meeting! All officers must arrive within a quarter of an hour, and those who violate military law will be dealt with, and go quickly! β
Li Qing gave orders one after another, the situation was urgent, and the girls were not in the mood to laugh at him for putting on an official show, so they immediately split up after receiving the order. Even Song Qiqi simply agreed to the promise and rushed towards the hilltop fortress with Scarlett.
Their current identity is Li Qing's personal guard. And in this world, the personal guards of the main general have always served as heralds.
Before handing over positions, and when he inspected the barracks just now, Li Qing had already taken them to meet all the officers and officials in the base, making them familiar in front of the officers. At this time, you don't have to worry about someone not knowing them.
After sending Chu Lingfeng and others to give orders, Li Qing took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a report on the enemy's situation. After writing, Li Qing drew a 100,000 urgent mark, signed his name, took out the seal of the commander of the garrison of Zhongshan Island, and stamped it with the seal. Then he handed the garrison commander seal and the enemy situation report to Su Su, and said solemnly: "Su Su, I'll hand it over to you!" β
"Don't worry!" Su Su smiled, took the seal and the letter, "Guarantee that the horse will be uploaded to the hands of the little dragon girl!" β
With that, she directly teleported herself to the Commander's Office of the Mountain Fortress with a positioning teleportation technique. The small teleportation array on Zhongshan Island, which could only be used to transmit letters, was set up in the government office.
Su Su came to the room where the teleportation array was, opened the door with the Garrison Commander Seal, and after entering the room, he used the Garrison Commander Seal to activate the teleportation array engraved on the ground.
"Teleportation is indeed banned!"
Looking at the dim white light of the teleportation array, Su Su muttered to himself: "The Amaterasu Fleet is still sixty nautical miles away, and the only one who can ban teleportation from such a distance is the legendary spellcaster!" It seems that there are legendary spellcasters in the Amaterasu Army! Amaterasu Country now has no legendary powerhouse, this spellcaster should be from the Holy Light Alliance! β
Speaking of this, Su Su sighed with a bitter face: "With Li Qing's current strength, it is impossible to be the opponent of the legendary spellcaster, it seems that if I don't run away, I will have to make a move then!" Alas, I'm really depressed, and I still want to hide my strength and continue to sell cuteness for a hundred years without wavering......"
She sighed as she cast a spell to lift the ban.
Although she has only recovered the strength of the Legendary Beginner now, she is essentially a super god-level powerhouse. Her understanding of the rules is far beyond all legends, even beyond the gods.
Even if she had just arrived in this plane and her analysis of the rules of the plane had just begun, it was still not a problem to break the ban on the teleportation array by a legendary spellcaster.
The most important thing is that she can not only break the ban, but also make the legendary powerhouse who casts the ban and teleport unnoticed.
After breaking the teleportation ban, Su Su put the enemy report into the teleportation array, and made a gesture, and the light in the teleportation array flashed, and the letter disappeared without a trace, and was teleported out.
"The Amaterasu Army doesn't know that I have already sent information, if Xiaolongnu can say that the main force of the East China Sea Fleet can be dispatched, and we can stand up for three days, then ...... Hehe, when the time comes, you will be able to cooperate with the inside and outside, catch the Amaterasu army by surprise, and even wipe them out in one fell swoop! Well, I'm so smart! β
She laughed smugly twice, but soon frowned again: "With the strength of the Amaterasu Army, it is basically impossible to hold up for three days!" The Grand Fleet plus 20,000 land forces, and the existence of legendary powerhouses, even if I take action in person, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult. What should I do? β
After thinking about it, Su Su took out the killing stone, stared at the fragment of the nine-tailed demon fox's inner dan, and whispered to himself: "The energy in this is very strong. Those grievances are highly toxic to others, but I can digest them as spiritual energy...... If I eat this Inner Dan fragment, my strength should be able to become stronger by one more order and restore the strength of the second order of the legend. Just ......"
It's just that this killing stone is to be used to build a gate to the other world. And at present, it seems that it is not very easy to get the same level of energy crystallization. In the Anameasu Army, there are certainly legendary strongmen, but this is not the earth that can turn legends into weak chickens, and legendary powerhouses are not easy to kill.
The legendary spellcaster, in particular, is covered in oil and extremely slippery. As strong as Su Su, she didn't dare to say that after being promoted to the second rank of the legend, she would be able to easily kill a legendary spellcaster - she was born as a spellcaster herself, and she knew best how difficult a legendary spellcaster was to kill.
"If you can't create a gate to another world, there will be no way out, and you can't advance and retreat freely...... Li Qing and Lingfeng's biggest reliance now is that they can advance and retreat freely. I'm actually the same. I haven't analyzed the rules of this world deeply enough. In this world, it is not invincible. In case you encounter a senior legend who can't deal with it, or even a true god incarnation, you also need to run away from the Otherworld's Gate...... If you eat the killing stone and can't find the energy crystals of the same level, then ......"
Su Su hesitated for a while, but finally put the killing stone back.
"Forget it, safety comes first, no matter what time it is, life is the most important thing. In the past, I just didn't understand that truth, and I always didn't leave a way back, but I was so embarrassed that I was reduced to having to live by selling cuteness. Although selling cuteness is also quite suitable for me, but I still have to learn a lesson! β
Shaking his head and sighing, Su Su unfolded the teleportation and went to find Li Qing.
