The Daheng Navy was conducting ultra-long-range artillery training, and the news was soon transmitted back to the Kingdom of Krull.

McKinley, the Naval Gunnery Director of the Kingdom of Krull, said:

"How is it possible, how can they conduct artillery training at sea so far, it doesn't make any sense at all!"

"According to our previous series of artillery tests, although the maximum range of our naval guns can reach 10,000 meters, and even 15,000 meters or even farther by increasing the elevation angle!"

"But such a large range does not mean anything for naval operations!"

"When facing cluster targets on land, we can achieve ultra-long-range artillery bombardment of more than 10,000 meters, but this is based on the direct deployment of artillery on a stable ground platform, and at the same time hitting stationary targets, even so, the hit rate of our artillery at such a distance is quite limited!"

"But fighting on the sea, both sides are in a state of motion, which requires very high shooting skills, and it is necessary to accurately calculate the shooting elements, otherwise it will be useless!"

"Last year, we also tested 10,000 meters of ultra-long-distance shelling, but unfortunately, we found that the long-distance artillery at this distance could not effectively get the firing Zhuyuan, such a long range, the dispersion of the naval guns themselves can reach hundreds of meters, so that our artillery can not get effective firing Zhuyuan after firing, and it is impossible to determine whether this is a normal dispersion or deviation!"

"When multiple artillery pieces are shelling at the same time, they will also interfere with each other, and the observer at the impact point cannot distinguish which shell landing point is the landing point of his own artillery, and there is no way to talk about sighting!"

After the previous rumor said that the Great Heng Imperial Navy was conducting ultra-long-distance artillery training, the first reaction within the Navy of the Krull Kingdom was not to believe it.

They believe that this may be a mistake in intelligence gathering at the front.

How is this possible to conduct ultra-long-distance artillery training of more than 10,000 meters, this is not meaningful at all.

Otherwise, their Krull Kingdom would have already started relevant training.

However, the intelligence department of the Krull Kingdom swore that the Daheng Imperial Navy was really conducting ultra-long-distance artillery training, and in addition to the first-line submarine reconnaissance, it also collected a lot of sporadic information to prove the correctness of this intelligence.

The intelligence department firmly believed that the Daheng Imperial Navy was conducting ultra-long-distance artillery training, while the navy's artillery department firmly believed that this was impossible.

As for the others, it is also difficult to discern.

But even if they don't understand it, but in view of the recent strange situation of the Daheng Empire's navy, the navy of the Krull Kingdom must pay attention to it, so a group of people gathered around the meeting and studied for many days without a clue, and finally began to invite many technical experts in their country to join in the argument.

Argument what?

Demonstrate why the Daheng people built multi-gun battleships.

Demonstrate whether the people of Daheng have really carried out ultra-long-distance artillery training, and then demonstrate whether ultra-long-distance artillery bombardment is feasible!

Why don't the Krull people give up? Even if you are confused, you still have to continue to ponder? That's when they confirmed one point, that is, the Great Heng people really built a batch of multi-main gun battleships? And not one or two? Judged by the open and secret information collected by the naval intelligence department of the Kingdom of Krull one after another.

Since four years ago or even earlier, the people of Daheng have already carried out research on multi-main gun battleships? Finally start construction, and not say the construction of a two-ship test ship? But directly on a large number of such ships? Coverage ranges from 10,000-ton warships all the way up to 20,000-ton warships.

This kind of 10,000-ton battleship, whether it is an armored cruiser or a battleship, belongs to the category of capital ships.

At the same time, taking into account the content of part of the Daheng naval development plan that has been obtained from open sources in recent years? The intelligence department of the Krull Kingdom can judge from this: the Great Heng people adjusted their naval strategy several years ago? Begin the full-fledged development of multi-main gun battleships!

And when was the last time something like this happened?

It was about ten years ago, that is, in the seventh year of the reign of Qiansheng.

At that time, the people of Daheng secretly came up with rapid-fire guns, hardened armor and smokeless gunpowder, and secretly built a series of high-dryboard fort warships represented by the Jingzhou.

At that time, the other countries on the Blue Star were all kept in the dark by the navy of the Great Heng Empire, and even thought that the navy of the Great Heng Empire continued to develop and build traditional low-freeboard warships.

After the result of the Jingzhou exposed? Other countries only discovered that the Daheng Imperial Navy began to play with high-freeboard battleships.

But even so, the Great Heng people still hide the secrets of hardened armor and rapid-fire guns? Wait until after the Lieji War, a series of new warships of the Great Heng Imperial Navy slinged the Gafia Imperial Navy? When rapid-fire guns show great power, and hardened armor shows great protection? The whole world is reacting.

Subsequently, the mixed main gun battleships of the Daheng Empire were also exposed.

In the end, it directly led to a major replacement of the world's navies? Battleships with hardened armor and rapid-fire guns began to appear on the slipways of shipyards in various countries? Directly let the mixed main gun battleship, the large-tonnage decisive armored cruiser with the concept of comprehensive protection, began to become the new main warship of the navies of various countries.

The emergence of these new warships has directly made many capital ships accumulated by various countries over the past years outdated, especially since many of the previous warships adopted key protection, and their effective protection was vulnerable in the face of rapid-fire guns of various countries.

Comprehensive protection, hardened armor, and rapid-fire guns are the core elements of becoming a new generation of warships.

And in this series of naval warship innovations, the Great Heng Empire took the lead, and other countries, including the world's largest Krull Kingdom, all belong to the latecomers.

Of course, with its strong national strength and even more resolute determination, the Krull Kingdom soon caught up and built a large number of mixed main gun battleships, which allowed it to continue to maintain its position as the world's largest navy.

By the end of the 17th year of the reign of Qiansheng, in just a few years, they had successively decided on the construction plan of several batches of a total of 22 mixed main gun battleships, of which 14 had already been completed and eight were still on the slipway.

In addition, they have several batches of a total of eight new generation large-tonnage fast armored cruisers planned, of which five have been completed and three are under construction.

As for the non-main warships that also use hardened armor and rapid-fire gun technology to achieve less than 10,000 tons, as well as the early non-hardened armor of various types of warships such as high freeboard and low freeboard, there are even more.
