Chapter 535: Sea Wolf

The lookouts of the Siamese Navy identified two French destroyers in the enemy, which was already a remarkable achievement, although they were still mistaken in the type of ships. It is not the [Storm class], but the latest French [Mogador]-class super destroyer, which is 2,090 empty and 4,000 tons of behemoth, which can be called the pinnacle product of the French super destroyer, larger and stronger than the [Fantasy] class, carrying the pride and profound heritage of the shipbuilding technology of the French Republic Navy.

French man-made warships have always maintained their unique style, this kind of super-standard product called super destroyer, which is actually more powerful than most light cruisers, is the best representative of French shipbuilding thinking.

Mogador and her sister ship Volta participated in the European campaign, and once participated in the encirclement and suppression of the German-class armored ship Count Spee in the Atlantic, but the French fleet pounced in the wrong direction at that time, and as a result, not even a single hair was found.

After the defeat of France, these two super destroyers were in very good condition and performed extremely active in the Mediterranean theater, not only fighting with the destroyers of the British Mediterranean Fleet, but also participating in the blockade of the Italian coast, sinking and damaging many Italian cargo ships, and capturing an Italian light coastal defense ship, which really saved a lot of face for the Petain government and became a pair of new favorites in the French naval fleet.

This time, the two destroyers came to Asia as frigates of a transport group, which was loaded with important personnel, materials and machinery sent by Britain, France, Germany, and the Netherlands to the Asian colonies. They had arrived in Singapore a week earlier, but because of the damn British-style bureaucracy, the group had never been able to set sail.

However, the French sailors had no problem with this, and these Frenchmen, who had never experienced Asian style, were very satisfied with the city of Singapore. But no matter what, these are also two active warships, although the crew is careless every night, but they have not forgotten the daily operation training.

When the news of the Siamese Army's brazen invasion of French Indochina reached Singapore, a group of guys were drinking in the middle of a naval bar in Singapore with Malay girls in their arms, but when they heard that the French colony had been attacked in a shameless sneak attack, even the captains could not suppress the crazy morale of their men. So after using the seawater gastric lavage method on some guys who were really drunk, the two super destroyers just dawned and attacked with the smell of alcohol.

They sailed straight east from Singapore to French Indochina, not going full speed to save fuel. It wasn't until after lunch, when they were almost in sight of the Golden Cape, that they received an official order from the Saigon Fleet Command.

The colonial fleet thanked the two super destroyers for their reinforcements, and praised them in the telegram, such as showing the brave spirit of the real French navy, and then the fleet let them not rush to Saigon, and directly turned around and broke into the Gulf of Siam, attacking all the Siamese ships they encountered, and it would be better if they could shell a few Siamese coastal port cities, anyway, it means that they can play freely and fight a naval guerrilla war.

This order was simply tailor-made for these two destroyers, and it happened to fall into the hands of the group of French fanatics on the ship, and after the captain conveyed the order of the Far East Fleet Command, the crews of the two warships spontaneously called Long live France. Two ferocious sea wolves showed their sharp claws, and the super destroyer turned its bow and began to strike at full speed towards the Gulf of Siam.

These two destroyers are the enhanced ultimate version of the [Utopia] class, with a maximum speed of 39 knots, two 138 mm twin main guns in the front and rear, and a twin and a triple 550 mm torpedo launcher on the left and right sides, which can fire ten torpedoes at each side at a time, both in terms of firepower and speed, which have surpassed most of the old light cruisers, even the Japanese Navy's [Yubari] is obviously not their opponent.

PS: In the past two days, I have been busy helping my relatives move, there are too many things, and the number of words is less, please understand.

If I have time in the evening, I'll find a way to add another chapter.

Thank you. (To be continued.) )
