Chapter 351: Assault Ship
Hearing that Salento, the prime minister of the Golden Lion Empire, proposed a plan to form an attack fleet, Prono, the prime minister of the Natural Elf Empire, first expressed his support, "The core of the Han and Tang Empires is still in the Eastern Continent.
According to the information obtained by our Natural Elven Empire, a large number of supplies and troops were transported from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent by the Han and Tang Empires almost every day.
If we can destroy the sea transportation lines of the Han and Tang Empires, it will also be a powerful support for our various battlefields. ”
Kudpu, the prime minister of the Red Tiger Empire, then frowned and said: "In fact, attacking submarines is the most suitable for attacking the sea transportation lines of the Han and Tang Empires, after all, the Han and Tang Empires have a large number of military satellites.
It's a pity that in the previous decisive battle with the main force of the Han and Tang Empire's navy, the attack submarines of our navies suffered heavy losses, and the navy of our Red Tiger Empire now has only 6 attack submarines that can fight. ”
Prono, the Prime Minister of the Nature Elf Empire, said: "In fact, missile cruisers, missile destroyers, and missile frigates can also act as attack ships.
There were many military satellites in the Han and Tang Empires, but it was impossible to track every warship all day and all day.
However, considering the numerous military satellites possessed by the Han and Tang Empires, it is best for us to assemble an attack fleet consisting of a single warship. ”
At the end of this meeting of prime ministers, Salanto, the prime minister of the Golden Lion Empire, said to the prime ministers of the other eight countries: "With the defeat of the combined fleet of the navy of the nine countries and the fall of the six provinces of the Black Bear Empire, it can be said that our military alliance of the nine countries has fallen into disadvantage in this war.
But I still firmly believe that the final winner of this war still belongs to our nine-nation military alliance!
Our Golden Lion Empire has relied on the special war mobilization and has formed more than 100 million army troops, which shows our Golden Lion Empire's determination to this war.
I hope that all the countries of the alliance will also have the determination to win and do their best to fight against the Han and Tang Empires! ”
The reason why Salento, the prime minister of the Golden Lion Empire, said this is because after all the six provinces of the Black Bear Empire were captured by the Han and Tang Dynasty troops, there were some voices of peace within the military alliance of the nine countries, which the Golden Lion Empire would never allow.
The Han and Tang Empires have made it clear that the Han and Tang Empires will not accept any armistice unless all the beast countries and elf countries withdraw from the Western Continent.
On the blue sea, there is a transport fleet of the Han and Tang Empires that is rushing to the Western Continent.
This transport fleet consisted of 20 large ocean-going freighters with a full load displacement of more than 10 tons, carrying a large amount of combat materials, and even carried 400 fifth-generation stealth fighters and 100 stealth strategic bombers of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires.
In order to protect this transport fleet, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires dispatched 2 assault gun-class missile destroyers and 4 steel shield-class frigates.
The assault gun-class missile destroyer and the steel shield-class frigate are both warships independently developed and produced by the Han and Tang Empires.
The assault gun-class missile destroyer has a full load displacement of 10,390 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, 1 55 times caliber 130 mm naval gun, 2 quadruple 450 mm torpedo launchers, can carry 96 missiles of various types, and is equipped with 2 anti-submarine helicopters.
The Steel Shield-class frigate has a full load displacement of 6,200 tons, a maximum speed of 29 knots, 1 75-mm naval gun, 2 30-mm cannons, 2 quadruple 330-mm torpedo launchers, can carry 90 missiles of various types, and is equipped with 2 anti-submarine helicopters.
Hao Dongquan, the captain of one of the assault gun-class missile destroyers, was appointed commander of this small escort fleet.
At present, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires has been equipped with more than 1,000 assault gun-class missile destroyers, and each assault gun-class missile destroyer is numbered according to numbers, and the assault gun-class missile destroyer where Hao Dongquan is located is numbered Assault Gun No. 358.
"Captain, the Admiralty has sent a telegram that warships from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent have appeared on all routes from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, asking us to take precautions and ensure the safety of 20 ocean-going freighters!" Sun Minghao, the first mate of the assault gun No. 358 missile destroyer, reported to Hao Dongquan in a deep voice.
When Hao Dongquan heard this, he groaned and said: "For the next 24 hours a day, we must ensure that there are 2 to 3 anti-submarine helicopters in the air at all times.
Even if those orc countries and elven countries send attack ships to attack the shipping lanes between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, they must not dare to gather too many warships, and with the 2 missile destroyers and 4 missile frigates of our escort fleet, there should not be too much of a problem.
However, if the attacking ship is a submarine, it will be a bit of a problem for us, and even if any ocean-going freighter is attacked by an enemy submarine, we will not be able to explain it to the Admiralty. ”
As soon as Hao Dongquan's words fell, a crew member ran over, "Captain, the sonar of Gangdun 501 has discovered a submarine of unknown nationality!" ”
When Hao Dongquan heard this, he immediately ordered: "Immediately order all ships to conduct anti-submarine operations and sink this submarine!"
Except for the submarines of our Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, the submarines of other countries are enemies! ”
At present, in addition to the Han and Tang Empires and those beast countries and elf countries, only the Nuoan Kingdom established by the fox people, cat people, and rabbit people is left.
Since the Nuoan Kingdom belonged to the protectorate of the Han and Tang Empires, the defense of the Nuoan Kingdom had long been taken care of by the Han and Tang Dynasty armies, and the Nuoan Kingdom even disbanded the regular troops more than ten years ago, and only retained the police force to maintain law and order.
Therefore, the submarine that appeared at this time, Hao Dongquan can conclude that it is a certain beast country or an elf country.
The submarine that appeared here belonged to the Abyss-class attack submarine of the Bright Elf Imperial Navy, with a depth of 320 meters, a submarine displacement of 1950 tons, 6 533 mm torpedo tubes, which can be loaded with 12 torpedoes and submarine-launched missiles, equipped with a lot of advanced equipment, and the comprehensive combat capability is very good.
However, in the face of the round-up of 2 assault gun-class missile destroyers and 4 steel shield-class frigates of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, this Abyss-class attack submarine of the Bright Elf Imperial Navy was sunk by several anti-submarine missiles without stirring up any wind and waves.
On the next trip, the small escort fleet led by Hao Dongquan sank another missile frigate of the Red Tiger Empire, but what made Hao Dongquan a little depressed was that the missile frigate of the Red Tiger Empire almost sank a large ocean-going cargo ship with a full load displacement of 135,000 tons with anti-ship missiles before sinking.
As a result, the large ocean-going freighter was seriously injured, and could only be towed forward by 2 Steel Shield-class frigates, and also lost a lot of combat materials.
Thanks to the large ocean-going freighter that was hit, it was not used to transport fifth-generation stealth fighters and stealth strategic bombers, otherwise the losses would have been great.
Fortunately, an aircraft carrier group of the Seventh Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires soon rushed over, and this aircraft carrier group had four Jumbo-class aircraft carriers, as well as numerous missile cruisers, missile destroyers, missile frigates and attack submarines, which was enough to ensure that 20 large ocean-going cargo ships loaded with various combat materials were safely escorted to the ports on the western continent.
In the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Wang Kui, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, reported to Zhou Rui: "Your Majesty, for the attack ships of those beast countries and those elven countries, our Royal Navy has organized a number of clearing fleets.
And a number of aircraft carrier formations were dispatched to protect the transport fleets.
We, the Royal Navy, are confident that we can guarantee the safety of the sea transport line between the East and West continents! ”
Zhou Rui nodded slightly, "Now that the Skynet surveillance system formed by many military satellites has become more and more perfect, I will let the Skynet surveillance system cooperate with your navy to eliminate those attack ships."
In addition, now that the large-scale attack on the Golden Lion Empire has begun, your navy will cooperate with the army to land on the coast of the Golden Lion Empire and open up a second battlefield. ”
Wang Kui said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, now that the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy has suffered heavy losses, it is no longer possible to pose any threat to our Royal Navy except for being able to send some attack ships to attack the sea transportation lines of our Han and Tang Empires."
As long as the Royal Army is ready, our Royal Navy can cover the Royal Army at any time and carry out landing operations along the coast of the Golden Lion Empire. ”
"Although the combined fleet of the nine navies cannot pose any trouble to the landing, the air force strength of the Golden Lion Empire still exists, and your navy should pay attention to this aspect and not suffer losses.
By the way, I now have 30 aircraft carriers equipped with fifth-generation carrier-based fighters with a full load displacement of 70,000 tons, and each aircraft carrier can carry 36 fifth-generation carrier-based fighters and 4 helicopters.
Will these 30 aircraft carriers be delivered to your navy immediately, or will they continue to be stockpiled here in me? ”
The aircraft carrier Zhou Rui is talking about is the British Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier that has been driven from the lottery system in recent months, using gas turbines and all-electric drive, with a maximum speed of 27 knots, equipped with three Phalanx short-range defense weapon systems, and four 30mm naval guns, which can carry 36 American F-35B carrier-based fighters and four helicopters.
The 30 British Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers are also the only warships that Zhou Rui has sailed out of the lottery system in the past few months.
When Wang Kui heard that there were 30 more aircraft carriers directly equipped with fifth-generation carrier-based fighters, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please please deliver 30 new aircraft carriers to our Royal Navy!"
Although the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy can no longer pose a threat to our Royal Navy, our Royal Navy needs to dispatch a large number of carrier-based aircraft to cooperate with the Royal Army to capture the coastal cities of the Golden Lion Empire.
More fifth-generation carrier-based fighters, with their powerful stealth capabilities, can significantly reduce the losses of our Royal Navy pilots. ”
