Chapter XIII Light Cruisers and Destroyers

The two golden treasure chests in the system item warehouse were immediately opened by Su Yi one after another, and a total of eleven cards were opened, including two low-level amplification cards.

American Vickers-class destroyers (unit price of 20 million yuan, limited to 18 ships per year).

German Wiesbaden-class light cruiser (unit price of 60 million yuan, limited to six per year).

German Bavaria-class battleships (unit price of 1 billion yuan, limited to one per year).

Heavy oil (unit price 1,500 yuan/barrel, monthly purchase limit of 10 million barrels).

Anthracite coal (unit price 600 yuan/ton, monthly purchase limit of 10 million tons).

88mm anti-aircraft artillery shells (unit price 700 yuan, monthly purchase limit of 500,000 pieces).

100 mm artillery shells (unit price 800 yuan, monthly purchase limit of 500,000 pieces).

500 mm torpedoes (unit price 20,000 yuan, monthly purchase limit of 50,000 pieces).

533 mm torpedoes (unit price 25,000 yuan, monthly purchase limit of 50,000 pieces).

The Vickers-class destroyer of the United States is a destroyer built by the United States Navy during World War I, with a standard displacement of 500 tons, a full load displacement of 1247 tons, a maximum speed of 35.3 knots, equipped with four 50 times caliber 100 mm main guns, one 23 times caliber 76 mm rapid-fire gun, twelve 533 mm torpedo tubes, 60 mm main armor on the side belt, 25 to 60 mm deck armor, 50 mm main turret armor, and a crew of 100 people.

The German Wiesbaden-class light cruiser was one of the new light cruisers in Germany during World War I, with a standard displacement of 5,180 tons, a full load displacement of 6,601 tons, a maximum speed of 27.5 knots, and eight 45 times caliber 150 mm main guns, two 45 times caliber 88 mm anti-aircraft guns, four 500 mm torpedo tubes, 60 mm main armor on the sides, 25 to 60 mm deck armor, 50 mm main turret armor, and a crew of 474 people.

Another card for Bavaria-class battleships was issued, so that the annual purchase limit became two, and Su Yi could buy one more immediately.

With the Vickers-class destroyers and the Wiesbaden-class light cruisers, the problem of the lack of small and medium-sized warships in the Newport Fleet was solved, and the capability of the Newport Fleet in mobile operations and assault operations was enhanced.

With 10 million barrels of heavy oil per month and 10 million tons of anthracite per month, Su Yi almost no longer needs to worry about the navy's fuel.

The cards of two kinds of shells and two torpedoes, plus the shells already available in the system mall, basically included the ammunition needed for the Vickers-class destroyers and Wiesbaden-class light cruisers, which made Su Yi feel that the system was still very intimate.

Su Yi looked at the eleven cards from the two golden treasure chests, turned his head to Wang Chengliang, the commander of the Xingang fleet next to him, and said with a smile: "Chengliang, the Xingang fleet is about to have a batch of new warships!" ”

Wang Chengliang's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice: "Dashuai, you got the warship from the creator again?" ”

The creator is the name given to the system by cyborgs, and all cyborgs know that they were created by the Creator, and Su Yi is the agent of the Creator in this world.

Su Yi nodded and said, "This time I got another Bavarian-class battleship, six light cruisers, and eighteen destroyers!" ”

"Great! With these warships, even if it fights with the Purple Moon Empire, the number one naval power in the Eastern Continent, our Xingang fleet will not be afraid at all! ”

The Purple Moon Empire is the strongest country in the navy among the four major powers in the Eastern Continent, and the battleships of the other three countries are all purchased from foreign countries, only the Purple Moon Empire can manufacture battleships by itself, and the Purple Moon Empire is also the country with the strongest industrial strength among the four major powers in the Eastern Continent.

At present, the navy of the Purple Moon Empire has six dreadnought battleships, twelve former dreadnought battleships, and eighteen ironclad battleships, ranking eleventh among the world's navies.

Su Yi said with a smile: "This is where it is!" The Newport Fleet will inevitably become stronger and stronger in the future, and only the top few in the world's naval rankings are worthy of being the opponents of our Newport Fleet! ”

"Dashuai is right! Our Newport fleet will definitely become a world-class and powerful fleet! ”

Su Yi first used two low-level amplification cards on the army-type primary combat biochemical and the navy-type primary combat biochemical respectively.

Immediately, the army-type junior combat biochemical personnel were limited from 2,500 per month to 12,500 per month, reaching the largest increase, and the navy-type junior combat biochemical personnel were reduced from 8,000 per month to 24,000 per month, an increase of only three times.

The other nine cards from the two golden treasure chests were transferred to the system mall by Su Yi with his consciousness, and then Su Yi bought all the goods on these nine cards and stored them in the system item warehouse with almost infinite space.

At this time, an officer in the bridge of the Yongxiang handed over a telegram to Wang Chengliang, Wang Chengliang read the telegram in his hand, and said to Su Yi: "Marshal, the Flying Eagle found a passenger ship flying the flag of the Jisk Empire in the warring waters, and after negotiations, this passenger ship claimed that there were military observers from the Jisk Empire on it, as well as reporters from the Imperial Capital Liuyun Daily, and they hoped to enter Xingang City. ”

Su Yi touched his chin and said: "The Jisk Empire is the fifth largest power in the world, maybe we can do business with the Jisk Empire in the future, Liuyun Daily is not only the largest newspaper in the imperial capital, but also the newspaper with the largest circulation in the entire Liuyun Empire, I just use Liuyun Daily to expand our influence in the entire Liuyun Empire!" Let the Flying Eagle return with that passenger ship...... Let's let the Flying Eagle wait for a while and then take that passenger ship back to Newport City, and we will go back first and extract the newly acquired warships! ”

Liu Muqing, who was standing on the deck of the passenger ship, looked at the large armored cruiser Flying Eagle more than two hundred meters away, and asked Gnes beside him, "Can you tell which country made this warship?" ”

Gornice shrugged her shoulders and said, "Even you, a naval expert, don't know this warship, and it's even more impossible for me to know its origin, but I'm sure that this warship is not made by our Jisk Empire, and its design does not meet the characteristics of our Jisk Empire's warships!" Mu Qing, do you say this warship is a battleship? ”

Liu Muqing immediately said: "The four main guns of this warship should be 234 mm, plus ten secondary guns close to 200 mm, and a speed of more than 20 knots, I think this should be an armored cruiser, and it is a large armored cruiser with very strong combat effectiveness." ”

Wu Xuedong, the photographer next to him, heard the conversation between Liu Muqing and Gornice, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, these two women have really big hearts, and now they are still in the mood to discuss the warship hundreds of meters away, you must know that this warship has a lot of naval guns, all aimed at the passenger ship where they are.

"Miss Liu, this warship flying the flag of our Liuyun Empire won't shoot at us, right?"

"Hehe, Angkor, rest assured! Since it is our warship of the Liuyun Empire, how can it fire on the passenger ship of our Liuyun Empire! ”

"But the passenger ship is now flying the flag of the Gisk Empire!"

Liu Muqing looked at Wu Xuedong, who had a worried face, and comforted with a smile: "Brother Ang, just put your heart in your stomach!" We should be on board the port of Newport City soon! I didn't expect that the navy of our Liuyun Empire would defeat a main fleet of the Celestial Star Empire, and also sink two former dreadnought battleships and two ironclad battleships, which can be a big news! ”

When Su Yi returned to the port of Xingang City with three battleships, Yongxiang, Jianwei, Jianyong, and Feihong, a large armored cruiser, He Yunfei had been waiting in the port for a long time.

"Congratulations to the Great Marshal for his victory, defeating a large fleet of the Celestial Star Empire and sinking two former dreadnought battleships, two ironclad battleships, two armored cruisers, and a light cruiser!" He Yunfei had already learned the news of the victory in the naval battle through the wireless transmitter.

Su Yi said with a smile: "This naval battle can be completely won, it is all the credit of the officers and men of the Xingang fleet, I will be a spectator, by the way, the Xingang fleet will add a new batch of warships, and the army and navy will also add some manpower, there are no outsiders here in the port, right?" ”

He Yunfei immediately said: "Don't worry, the port has been under military control, and there are only our own people!" ”

Su Yi nodded, and then extracted a Bavaria-class battleship, six Wiesbaden-class light cruisers and eighteen Vickers-class destroyers, fortunately, the port of Newport City is relatively large, and it is a deep-water port, and there are only more than 30 berths for ships of more than 10,000 tons, if Su Yi sends someone to expand it, the port of Newport City is enough to dock hundreds of large warships, and the twenty-five warships that appear out of thin air only occupy less than one-fifth of the berths in the port.

Su Yi then summoned 10,000 army-type primary combat biochemical people and 16,000 navy-type primary combat biochemical people.

Now the Newport fleet has four battleships, two large armored cruisers, six light cruisers and eighteen destroyers, and these thirty warships need about more than 10,000 naval officers and men, so there are nearly 14,000 naval officers and men, who were temporarily organized into an infantry wing by Su Yi.

Now the army strength in Su Yi's hands also exceeded 13,000 people, so he expanded the Xingang Independent Brigade into the Xingang Independent Infantry Wing.

The main task of the next two wings was to strengthen and expand the fortifications in the northwest direction outside Newport to deal with the enemy from the interior.

The new Bavaria-class battleship was named Yonghui by Su Yi, and the six Wiesbaden-class light cruisers and eighteen Vickers-class destroyers were named according to numerical numbers, and it is also a common practice for navies around the world to name small warships by numbers.

The six light cruisers were named Light Cruiser No. 001 - Light Cruiser No. 006, and the eighteen destroyers were named Expelling No. 001 - Expelling No. 018.
