Chapter 140: Han and Tang Fengyue Dazuo

The information that Lieutenant General Douglas thought of had something to do with the invasion of the Ki Empire.

The reason why the fleet of the Kiya Empire was able to break through was not only because of the number of ships, but also because of the strength of the artillery.

The reason for this is that the intelligence services of the empire have also obtained the secrets of this.

According to intelligence descriptions, the Kirak Empire began to reequip all its artillery, including the capital battleships, two years ago.

And what triggered this wave of rotating guns was the invention of a new type of gunpowder in the Ki Empire.

"Picric" gunpowder, also known as yellow explosive, is a new type of gunpowder that is many times more powerful than black explosives.

According to intelligence sources, one kilogram of yellow explosives is equivalent to 100 kilograms of black gunpowder.

With such a powerful explosive, the artillery of the Kiya Empire, both in terms of range and explosive power, far surpassed the fleet of the Blue Flag Empire.

Lieutenant General Douglas thought of this new type of gunpowder from this morning's mysterious bomb, and in his mind, this attack should be related to the Kirak Empire.

And when the adjutant mentioned the idea of using artillery to defend against air targets, Lieutenant General Douglas had a new idea, that is, to use the characteristics of the new gunpowder to transform the new type of artillery into an anti-aircraft artillery.

Of course, this is just an idea, maybe the scientific research department of the empire can reverse deduce the formula of this new type of explosive according to the seizures on the battlefield later, but to achieve the kind of artillery that can deal with air threats in their imagination, it is not very realistic with the current technical ability, after all, the quality of artillery steel at this time restricts the weight of artillery.

Of course, with ideas, especially those of a high-level like Douglas, it is not difficult to trigger a weapons revolution as long as the time is ripe.

Of course, these are all afterwords, and at this time, after more than an hour of sailing, Mu Jiu and their airships have already arrived in the sky above Lunan Bay.

It was already midnight, and the sky and the earth were still dark, and there was no moon in the sky, so when you looked down from the sky, you couldn't tell where the land was and where the sea was.

"According to the analysis of intelligence, at this time, Lunan should all fall into the control of the Ji Yan Empire, so if there is no accident at this time, the combined fleet attacking the Blue Flag Empire should have docked at the port of Lunan Bay."

Standing in front of the huge map in the command room, looking at the location marked with the Lunan Bay Pier, Sean held his chin and analyzed.

"Captain Li Yue, let's descend altitude."

Now the height of the airship should be above 10,000 meters, so from the top down, with the naked eye, it is impossible to see the lights on those fleets, especially in the case of wartime control, generally ships berthed on the shore will not turn on too much, too bright lights.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief."

With Captain Li Yue's order, the airship began to slowly descend in altitude, and Muzi also hurried to the observation mirror to carefully probe the situation under the airship.

As expected, when the airship descended to an altitude of 3,000 meters, a row of stars appeared under the airship that could be seen clearly.

"Judging by the distribution of those lights, it should be the giant fleet moored at the docks."

The whole row of dense orange lights was arranged in a row, and some swaying yellow highlights could be seen in the viewing glass, which should be reflected from the microwave sea.

"Will the bombardier be able to bomb accurately based on these lights?"

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is not a big problem, but if you carry out horizontal bombing at the current altitude, the hit rate is not very large."

"Then descend again."

Anyway, it's night, and I'm not worried about the enemy seeing, let alone being attacked by the enemy. Therefore, in order to achieve a better bombing effect, Mu Jiu asked Captain Li Yue to continue to descend in altitude.

The wharf here is a standard deep-water wharf in Lunan Bay of the Blue Flag Empire, because the trade of the Wasi people in the Blue Flag Empire is very prosperous, so the wharf here is also very large.

One of the main reasons why the Kigar Empire chose to land here and occupy this large dock to facilitate supplies is also one of the main reasons.

Han Tang Fengyue Dazuo is now the person in charge of this dock.

This is a tall Jigu officer in his 40s, which is considered an outlier in the Jigu Empire, because the average height of a man in the entire Jira Empire will not exceed 1.6 meters, and this Jiya officer, who is 1.72 meters tall, looks more like the Wasi people of the Blue Flag Empire.

"Translator Cao Ning, we should have known each other for more than ten years, right?"

Standing on the balcony of the office, he gently shook the red wine in his hand as he said to a white-faced man with glasses next to him.

"Hay! Han and Tang Dazuo is right, I was lucky enough to know Han Tang Dazuo when I took refuge in the starting state of the Antarctic continent in 1302, and 12 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and time flies so fast! ”

The glasses man standing behind Han Tang Fengyue Dazuo wiped his middle head with his hand, and said with a little emotion.

"Yes, Cao Jun, but your efforts have not been in vain, and you are still back to your hometown now. Those who have framed Cao Jun in the past, the blade of the empire will help you get justice one by one. ”

Han Tang Dazuo raised the red wine in his hand and touched it lightly with Cao Ning's translator, and was about to raise his head to drink.

"Huh! What's that moving? ”

But when the wine glass touched his lips, Han Tang Fengyue Dazuo stopped the movement in his hand, pricked up his ears and turned his gaze to the direction where the voice came from.

The strange roar was getting closer, it sounded a bit like the sound of an engine, but it seemed to be mixed in with something else?

It's a pity that at this moment, Han Tang Fengyue Dazuo's eyes were dark, and he even suspected that his hearing had misjudged, and quickly turned his gaze to the sea outside the port.

Although the sea at this moment is also dark except for the lights on the ships docked by the Combined Fleet.

But if the engine sound comes from the sea, you can definitely see the lights coming from the open sea, because if a ship wants to enter the dock, it must first pass through the narrow channel of the bay, and if the incoming ship does not turn on the searchlight to identify the buoy on the sea, it will not be able to find the correct channel accurately in the night.

Unfortunately, it was also dark on the surface of the open sea at this moment, and there was no sign of any ship approaching.

"But why is the sound of the engine getting closer?"

The strange engine sound was indeed getting louder and louder, although his hearing told him that it was coming from the top of his head, but the inherent inertia of common sense made him unable to believe it.

Unfortunately, this is the case, at this moment the altitude of the Zeppelin has dropped to about a thousand meters, and the outline of the ships moored in the harbor can be clearly seen with the naked eye on the ship.

"Good fellows, the harbor is full. Those big black pressure guys should be battleships, and the length is at least hundreds of meters. ”

"It should be, such a large battleship, with a tonnage of at least nearly 10,000 tons, I really didn't expect the strength of the Ji Yan Empire to be so strong. No wonder the Empire's sailors lost so badly. ”

In the control cabin, Mu Jiu and Sean, who were looking down at the dock with binoculars, kept sighing with emotion.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the airship has descended to a predetermined altitude, will you start horizontal bombardment?"
