"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
The pilot flying over the target ship lowered his degree, then he gestured to the bombardier in the back seat, who immediately pushed the goggles to his forehead, leaned over and measured the position of the target ship and the relative motion of the aircraft, the wind, etc., through the improvised mechanical sight in the engine room, and then forcefully flipped the switch of the bomb dropping device.
A burst of sparks flashed at the attachment point, and the fuse, whose length had been accurately calculated in advance, burst into flames, followed by a spindle-shaped bomb with a four-lobed tail at the tail breaking off the pylons and falling downward. After a few short seconds, the stone pine spore powder stuffed in the thick ceramic body of the projectile burst into flames at the moment when the fuse burned out, and in an instant, powerful waves of air and golden flames swept across the deck of the target ship. Sawdust and wisps of canvas torn apart by the blast wave, as well as black and white smoke, spread over the deck at the same time, a scene comparable to a violent aesthetic action movie that stretches out in slow motion.
"Oops! It's not bad! ”
"Yes! The effect is much better than the original ones. ”
The pirates, who had never seen an airplane bombing, gave a relatively optimistic and positive assessment, but Luo Zhengdao, who had high hopes for the air strike force at first, saw the situation on the deck of the target ship through the telescope, and he shook his head in frustration and said:
"Alas, make do! It's okay to kill people, and it's impossible to sink a battleship with a bomb of this weight, unless the opponent is idiotic enough to leave the whole barrel of stone pine powder open on the deck. ”
The debut of the aircraft and aircraft carrier, the performance effect is undoubtedly unsatisfactory according to Luo Zhengdao's standards, and it can barely be regarded as passable! It is quite competent to use it for reconnaissance and tactical harassment, and it is also more effective than ordinary warships to use the degree advantage to scare merchant ships during robbery, but as Luo Zhengdao hoped, the king's overbearing spirit shook and he immediately dominated the battlefield or something, it can only be said that he thought too much.
For example, the Nimitz in the old world, an aircraft carrier with an oblique angle that goes straight to the deck, I am afraid that a ship power revolution will not appear until the new world, and now Luo Zhengdao can only pinch his nose because of the ugliness, who calls this shape stronger than people!
The arduous and dangerous test was effective after all, and Luo Zhengdao, who was in good spirits, revised the sketch of the aircraft carrier design according to the actual situation, and added an additional oblique deck on the port side of the aircraft carrier, which could not be directly used for take-off and landing, but parked the aircraft in the hangar in advance to save combat preparation time in the state of war. The deck on the second level is used as a hangar, and the bilge is used as an ammunition depot and rocket fuel depot to reduce the potential risk of detonation by enemy fire. After a series of technical overhauls, the seaplane carrier and the seaplane, nicknamed the Fat Duck, were officially included in the pirate fleet battle sequence.
For the time being, the strange-looking aircraft carrier can only play soy sauce on the edge of the battlefield with those cruisers, and the battleship detachment will not take it to play with it, which is also a matter of no choice, compared to the battleships, the defense of the aircraft carrier is too crispy.
This seaplane carrier, officially named "Dawn", has 14 approved aircraft, including two spare planes that are dismantled and stored in parts. According to the standards of the old world, carrier-based aircraft with low performance cannot talk about the subdivision functions of clearly distinguishing between fighters, bombers, and reconnaissance planes; anyway, if you hang a rocket nest and a rotary gun in the sky, you will be considered a fighter, and if you hang a few more bombs and take it into the air, it will be a bomber, and if you don't bring anything, it will naturally be a reconnaissance plane!
According to the barrel theory, the decisive factor of how much water a bucket can hold is not the longest board, but the shortest one. Then there is no doubt that weapons and equipment are hardware, and the training level of soldiers is software, and how much they can wield in actual combat depends on whether the two can achieve some kind of balance.
After the aircraft carrier entered service, Luo Zhengdao appointed Captain Fore Chopin as the training director, who specially supervised the rigorous training of these rookie pilots and crew in takeoff, landing, bomb dropping, maintenance and other subjects, so as to make the Dawn capable of combat in the shortest possible time. It is not for nothing that Luo Zhengdao is so impatient, the Second Goblin Empire has been silent for several months after its defeat in the Battle of Atayal Estuary, and even if he licks his wounds behind closed doors, he should be almost recuperating. With Luo Zhengdao's understanding of those green skins, these guys have always been idle, and the current leisure life is likely to be a preparation period before the bigger scheme is launched, so you must guard against it!
On the walls of the imposing and spacious hall, a group of white reliefs that surrounds the entire hall has been deliberately chiseled to remove much of the content, making the otherwise continuous sculptures incoherent. Regardless of the question, it can be seen that those historical pictures that highlight the cultural and martial arts of the human dynasties are not the favorite subject of the new rulers, and only the part involving goblins is removed, which is already the result of the efforts of a few rational bigwigs to lobby their colleagues, otherwise, this hall, which was once known as the temple of human art, will probably become a white pure land!
“…… Those vile and vicious human aristocracy in exile are the stinger of the Empire, and we must remove them as soon as possible, or we will bleed the Empire. ”
Standing on the seat of speech, facing the encircled Senate with a staircase-like order, the chief of the military department made a declaration in a cold tone, but his speech was greeted not by thunderous applause, but by boos.
"Your military department has always said that you can get rid of hidden dangers, and now those pirate nobles are even more rampant, they even invade the internal waters to plunder, and the interception operations organized by the military department have not been able to capture or kill any of the pirate leaders on the wanted list. Excuse me, do you fight with your mouth and tongue? ”
"Incompetent, get out of here!"
"We don't need waste that will only attack the enemy with their tongues! Go to hell! Idiot! ”
Seeing that the order in the large council hall was becoming chaotic, the speaker who presided over the question and answer had no choice but to stand up, and the old and frail man reluctantly struck the wooden hammer with all his might, and at the same time shouted loudly:
"When! While! While! While! ”
"Silence! Quiet! Whoever dares to make any more noise will be expelled from the venue immediately. ”
Taking high-pressure measures to barely suppress the atmosphere of the chamber, which was about to boil, the speaker looked at the speaker below with his dim eyes, and said in an indifferent tone:
"Your Excellency, what do you want to say? Please don't waste everyone's time. ”
"Assassination! Our most dangerous enemies, one is Will Needham and the other is Gauder Needham, and the other pirate leaders are not noble, and with the death of these two guys, the piracy problem is no longer the main threat to the Empire. ”
At this time, the words blurted out by the commander-in-chief of the military department were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and all the participants were speechless for a long time.
The ominous prophecy that the descendants of the Emperor of Light would eventually destroy the Second Goblin Empire was like a ghost wandering in the night, wandering around twice from time to time, brushing up on the sense of storage, and as Luo Zhengdao and the other pirate gangs tossed more and more happily, the psychological pressure on the goblins also increased. Even when it comes to hard power, the Yaling Empire and the Elven Federation are the strong opponents who are really capable of overthrowing the Second Goblin Empire, but in the subconscious of the goblins, these old enemies are not a mortal threat, but they are moved by the human exiled nobles who can't fight no matter how they fight like Xiao Qiang, and every time they wake up in a cold sweat when they wake up from a midnight dream.
"When! While! While! ”
The old speaker, who had also been in a position of power back then, had a purple face, and he struck the wooden hammer again, until there was no more noise in the hall, and then he spoke:
"Excuse me, Your Excellency, do you have a plan?"
When questioned about this sensitive topic in person, the military chief's expression was a little hesitant, and soon he nodded and said:
"Yes, Your Excellency. The assassination plan we have drawn up has already begun to be executed, and I hope that the elders will give the military department some more time, and we will do our best to eradicate these two human nobles. ”
Needless to say, there was an uproar in the huge Senate, and the excited senators shouted so loudly that they couldn't hear what the participants next to them were saying. Seeing this, the speaker had a helpless expression, and he picked up the wooden hammer, slammed it on the awakening wood for the third time, and shouted loudly:
"Silence! Quiet! ”
Finally settling these organized and undisciplined guys, the old speaker turned to the chief of the military department with a tired expression and said:
"Your advice can be considered, please remember to act cautiously, the Senate doesn't want to hear any more bad news."
"This ...... I'll do my best. ”
Wiping his head full of cold sweat and leaving the Senate, the chief of the military department did not return directly to the military headquarters, and ordered the coachman to turn to a very ordinary-looking residential building. This is one of the strongholds of the intelligence agency controlled by the military department, and those problems that are inconvenient to deal with in public are much more low-key in such a place, and even open secrets are better than being exposed in public.
The subject of this meeting and conversation with the military chief was hidden under the hood of the cloak, facing this guy at close range, even if he could not see the other party's eyes, he could only hear a slightly muffled voice, and His Excellency, who was accustomed to seeing bloody storms and intrigues, could not help but shudder, this was not due to cowardice but the instinctive stress reaction of some kind of creature to danger. At this moment, the mysterious person with whom the chief must negotiate can be called a fierce god and evil stream that no one can approach, even if the nerves are as tenacious as steel, the cold feeling that suddenly hits the heart is still impossible to remove.
Barely suppressing the unpleasant feeling of nausea and nausea, the chief of the military department patiently said to the guest:
"There is no problem with the conditions we negotiated earlier, as long as the news of the death of those two humans can be verified, the agreement will be implemented immediately."
