Chapter 677: The Global Navy is About to Usher in a Revolution (Plus Update)

On the Ian coast, the navy of the Krull Kingdom was even worse than the 'Battle of Cavell' when it competed with the Valia Empire for the world's first navy more than fifty years ago.

At that time, the navy of the Krull Kingdom lost more than two dozen warships in the Battle of Cavell, although it was beaten like a dog.

But they have been a huge success strategically.

They paid a huge price, but the main fleet of the successful Valya Empire was blocked back to the port, leaving the Walya Empire's navy, the second most powerful navy in the world, only rusty and moldy in the port, and nothing to do in the two-year war.

Well, those Walians also called it by their name, saying that they not only inflicted heavy damage on the Krull Kingdom Navy, but also destroyed the large number of fleets of the Krull Kingdom Navy......

However, the navy of the Krull Kingdom completely blocked all the sea transportation lines of the Walya Empire, shelled every port of them, and controlled the full sea supremacy.

At that time, the coastline of the Walya Empire was paper paste for the Krull Kingdom, and it was possible to carry out landing raids anytime and anywhere!

However, in this naval battle of Ian, the navy of the Krull Kingdom suffered a complete defeat, both strategically and tactically.

No matter how stupid the current navy of the Krull Kingdom is, it will not let its battleships get close to the coastline of the Orr Kingdom and close to the port of Ian, which is simply a chance for their torpedo boats to attack!

But what does that mean?

This actually means that the blockade strategy of the Krull Kingdom Navy has been completely bankrupt!

After all, as long as the Krull Kingdom does not block the high-speed broken cruisers of the Orr Kingdom Navy in the port, and wants to catch them after their cruisers run out, it will not be so easy.

No, it didn't take long for news to come that a number of merchant ships of the Krull Kingdom were attacked by the Orr Kingdom breaker cruisers, the ships were sunk, and the crew members were captured.

In the summer exercise of the Daheng Imperial Navy last year, the blockade fleet encountered unfavorable shelling of the port, the attack by torpedo boats, and the enemy fleet breaking through the blockade and then breaking through diplomatic relations and wantonly destroying the sea transportation line, the Krull Kingdom also experienced a complete side from beginning to end!

It's just that the navy of the Great Heng Empire has only experienced exercises, while the navy of the Krull Kingdom has actually fought in actual combat!

And the impact of actual combat far exceeds the exercise!

The news of the Battle of Ian was soon brought to their respective countries by the naval attachés of various countries watching the battle, and then for a while, many countries, including the warships under construction in the dockyard of the Krull Kingdom itself, especially those that had just started construction, all stopped construction unanimously.

As for the shipbuilding plan that has not yet started, it has been canceled altogether!

The generals of the navies of various countries have been keenly aware that the navy of the Krull Kingdom and the naval powers of various countries have pursued a close-range blockade strategy for hundreds of years, which has been completely abandoned by the times.

A new naval revolution is coming!

And in this naval change, the Daheng Imperial Navy is at the forefront more than half a year ahead of schedule!

At a time when the navies of various countries are still debating how to deal with the current naval war situation and what kind of warships should be developed, the battleship Jingzhou of the Daheng Empire has completed most of the hull construction, and it is expected to be launched and outfitted in October this year.

After the outbreak of the 'Battle of Ian' in the Orr War, the Daheng Imperial Navy has once again asked to speed up the construction progress!

In particular, the outfitting progress must be accelerated as soon as possible, and if nothing else, the ship will officially enter active service in the Navy in December, even if it is delayed, it is expected to be commissioned in January or February next year.

This time, the Great Heng Imperial Navy is going to be ahead of everyone!

When the navies of various countries were shocked by the Battle of Ian, the navy of the Krull Kingdom did not sit idly by, let alone say that they fled in embarrassment because of the defeat of a naval battle, thus ending the Orr War.

As the number one power of our time, the Kingdom of Krull has the strength to deal with any situation.

Its huge navy of the Kingdom of Krull quickly dispatched a large number of armored cruisers, first-class protection cruisers, second-class cruisers, etc., from all over the world to search for and intercept these broken cruisers.

At the same time, the escort of the merchant fleet should be increased, especially on the dangerous southern and southwestern continental routes, and a centralized escort system should be adopted to reduce the losses of merchant ships.

Fortunately, the navy of the Krull Kingdom has a great cause, and the cruisers are all a dozen, so this can be blocked and intercepted all over the world, and if it is replaced by other countries, it is estimated that the head will be bigger.

At the same time, the navy of the Krull Kingdom also quickly dispatched a large number of torpedo boats to fight on the southern continent!

Soon, the navy of the Krull Kingdom drew more than 20 torpedo boats from a number of nearby naval bases and colonial fleets to reinforce them, and soon returned the favor to the Orns!

Lightning Strike, not only the Orns will play, but they will also play the Krull Kingdom people, and they will play better than the Orrs!

On 16 March, a number of cruisers of the navy of the Kingdom of Krull led more than 20 torpedo boats to quietly approach the port of Ian in the night, and then a large number of torpedo boats launched a torpedo raid on the port of Ian in the darkness of the night!

The navy of the Orr Kingdom had been on guard in advance, but they were still found by the navy of the Krull Kingdom, and their torpedo boats took advantage of the cover of night to force their way into the port of Ian, sinking the second-class battleship Kalia and a cruiser.

This kind of torpedo operation that forcibly attacks the port at night is much more difficult than when the Orr Kingdom took advantage of the lack of defense of the Krull Kingdom and attacked in a melee, and the Krull Kingdom was able to do this, and it was enough to prove to the navies of all countries around the world that even if it was a torpedo battle, Lao Tzu was the top!

At the same time, they dispatched a large number of cruisers from all over the world to gather on the coast of the Orr Kingdom, and continued to carry out a naval blockade of the Orr Kingdom in the outer waters.

These cruisers were patrolling and blocking at high speed on the periphery.

In order to guard against the Orr torpedo boat unit in Ian Harbor, they directly put dozens of various chaotic cruisers, large mine strike ships, etc. outside!

Even though their guns are not very fast, they can't hold up the number of warships!

As a result, it will be difficult for the torpedo boats of the Orr Kingdom to find any opportunities.

A naval battle of Ian, in fact, from a strategic point of view, did not change anything, although a few cruisers broke through and launched a broken operation, but the warships of the Krull Kingdom were a large number, and the various old second-class battleships and cruisers used to escort were a lot of them, and at the beginning, several cruisers of the Orr Kingdom could frequently obtain the results of breaking the engagement, but they were soon found by the cruiser fleet of the Orr Kingdom Navy, and then searched in a net, and finally caught them one after another.
