The uninhabited island was bombed to the point of gunsmoke, and the whole thing was cut down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the generals of various countries carefully watched the battleship formation of the Taishan to attack the shore. A tugboat tows a huge ship from the direction of the mainland.
"Oh! Look, what's that!" U.S. Navy Commander Spruance pointed to the towed giant ship and shouted pointedly at Nobuyuki Abe and Yorio Sawamoto, commander of the Japanese training fleet.
The others also heard the shouting and looked in the direction that Spruance was pointing, and immediately rejoiced, isn't this the awesome Mutsu!
Sawamoto Yorio gritted his teeth, the capture of the Mutsu was a shame for the Japanese Navy, and now the Chinese Navy dragged it to the occasion of the demonstration of the battleship formation of the Taishan, and it was obvious that it was intended to be used as a target ship.
Sure enough, the battleship formation of the Taishan turned its guns and aimed at the Mutsu that was being towed, and the tugboat immediately left the Mutsu and slipped away.
The horn sounded: "Let's show the ability to attack the ship!" ”
The foreign ministers and generals of various countries have opened their eyes wide, and the biggest role of battleships is to fight against battleships, and their attack capabilities against ships are the most important thing.
"Tarzan, salvo ready...... Fire! ”
The nine main guns opened fire instantly, and nine armor-piercing shells weighing nearly one ton of hundreds of kilograms flew towards the Mutsu ten kilometers away, and in about ten seconds, the armor-piercing shells fell around the Mutsu, and one of them hit the Mutsu, because there was no ammunition and fuel inside the hull, the damage was not high.
This hit rate was average, and it did not exceed the expectations of the admirals of various countries, and attacking a battleship that was basically immobile at a distance of 10 kilometers could at least fire a short-range bullet even if it did not pass a test launch.
The general who commanded in the command cabin hammered his palm and picked up the turret to communicate, "How did you hit, the Mutsu only hit one shot so close!" ”
The officers and men in the turret all blushed, and in normal times, a target ship smaller than this one could hit at least two or three shots, but today they were hit by an evil spirit, and only one shot was hit.
"The second round of salvo preparation...... Fire! ”
The nine main guns fired again, this time with a jaw drop, all nine hits, and nine large holes in the main armor.
"The fleet fires with all its might, sinking the Michinoku!"
The roar sounded, the main gun, secondary guns, armor-piercing shells, high-explosive shells, and destroyers rushed up to launch torpedoes, and in less than twenty minutes, the Mutsu disappeared into the sea, leaving only a huge whirlpool to indicate what had just happened here.
Yorio Sawamoto's gums were bleeding, and he watched the Nagato-class battleship Mutsu being sunk like garbage, and it was false to say that it was not heartbroken.
I secretly made up my mind that I must take down the battleship formation of Taishan, and then in turn abuse China, find a place to get back, and humiliate the Chinese Navy.
Chen Shaokuan came out with a smile: "Everyone, after the firepower display of the battleship formation, I will send you detailed information about the ships of the Taishan battleship formation." ”
The admirals of various countries who held the information looked carefully and exclaimed from time to time, what armor is so thick, what is fast, and what gun barrel is thick......
There was time left for the admirals of various countries to discuss with the foreign ministers, and Chen Shaokuan pulled Wang Chonghui aside and asked, "Minister Wang, how much do you think these people can pay?" ”
Wang Chonghui spread his hands, "I don't know, but I know that Japan and Germany will definitely cut meat, Britain and France may bleed, and the Soviet Union, the United States, and Italy are just passing by with soy sauce." ”
"This battleship formation, Director Lin said......"
"Shh Wang Chonghui glanced at the people from various countries who were discussing, and then said: "Don't talk about this in public, let's just do things." ”
Back in front of everyone, this time Wang Chonghui came forward and said with a smile: "Everyone, this information should be almost seen, let's not waste time, let's write the bid on paper and put it in an envelope, we will check your bid, if it reaches our psychological price, the highest price will win!" ”
The foreign ministers of Britain, France, Germany and Japan are all a little vain, what is the psychological price, how much do you have to add to win the battleship formation of Taishan, who specially came up with the secret bid bidding, it is simply a pit!
After thinking about it for a long time, the first person to hand over the envelope was Italy, Wang Chonghui felt incredible, and the spaghetti actually intervened, is this trying to muddy the water?
Unwrapping the envelope, Wang Chonghui glanced at Italy's offer, which is fair, converted to about 400 million US dollars, the cost of the Iowa-class battleships currently under construction by the United States is about 100 million US dollars, and the Taishan battleship is about the same as the Iowa-class battleships, plus two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers, and four expulsions, which is about the same according to 400 million US dollars, and the submarines are not among the sales.
The foreign ministers of Britain, France, Germany and Japan were all observing their words, and seeing that Wang Chonghui had an okay expression on his face, Britain and France were anxious, and Germany and Japan laughed.
The foreign ministers of Germany and Japan glanced at each other, and their eyes were also defensive, both wanted to take down this battleship formation and enhance their strength, so they covered the paper a few meters away and wrote the price on it.
"Guys, if I don't make any more bids, I'll sell the battleship formation Tarzan to Italy." Wang Chonghui urged it, 400 million US dollars is not a loss, anyway, there are new warships to replenish.
This urging is still useful, Britain, France, Germany and Japan all handed over the envelope to Wang Chonghui, Wang Chonghui opened them one by one, Britain and France were almost 400 million yuan, Japan was ruthless enough, and directly sold North Korea, the idea is that with warships, North Korea can be taken back. Although Germany has no land to exchange, it has offered to help China build a large automobile production base, two large shipyards, and a large scientific research center for free.
However, these prices didn't matter to Wang Chonghui, Director Lin explained everything, and this time he sold them to Germany, angry with Britain and France.
"Okay guys, now I have got the offer of the five countries, the United States and the Soviet Union have not submitted the offer, it seems that the battleship formation of Taishan has been abandoned." Wang Chonghui shouted with the offer.
The United States itself has a shipbuilding program for six Iowa-class battleships, and the Iowa-class battleships have a standard displacement of 45,000 tons and a full load displacement of more than 57,000 tons, which is no worse than the Tarzan.
The Soviet Union has just been slapped in the face by China, and this time it is just to make soy sauce and see who the strongest battleship in service is. The USSR itself had a shipbuilding program for Soviet-class battleships, which were expected to have a full load displacement of even more than sixty-five thousand tons.
The battleship formation of the Taishan is really needed here, in fact, Germany and Japan, and the British and French navies can abuse Germany at will, but they don't want the strength of the German navy to be enhanced.
Wang Chonghui pinched the offer and shouted: "I announce that the battleship formation of Taishan will be sold to ...... Germany! (To be continued.) )
