"I have a lot www.biquge.info of good weapons for you, and I've equipped her with one hundred and fifty long-course torpedoes, and of course some short-range ones, but the number is a little small, only twenty!" "Smith knows Zhang Lin very well, there are four five-mounted torpedo launchers on this battleship, which is also specially requested by Zhang Lin!

"Thank you, Smith, take care!" Seeing that the Liberty was ready, Zhang Lin turned around and began to board the ship!

"Take care of yourself!" Smith watched Zhang Lin board the Liberty and waved to Zhang Lin!

After Zhang Lin boarded the Liberty, he came to the captain's room, where Li Li and Jin Zhe had been waiting for a long time, "Sir, you're here!" The two of them greeted Zhang Lin at the same time, the other sailors were busy at their posts, the Liberty was the first time to go to sea, and the sea trials had not been carried out before, in order to avoid problems, Zhang Lin ordered that the personnel must be familiar with the performance of this giant in the shortest possible time!

"Sir, what a displacement this battleship has, I have never seen such a huge battleship!" Kim Chol was completely shocked by the battleship, and had not received any news at all before!

Zhang Lin smiled, the data of the Freedom is very confidential, even these people don't know!

"Sir, speak quickly!" Li Li is also very curious!

"She currently has 85,000 tons of drainage!" Zhang Lin was also shocked by this, but it was already very good to be able to barely complete it in more than four months!

"Eighty thousand tons!!" Li Li and Jin Zhe were speechless, could there be an enemy with this kind of battleship to defeat her? It doesn't seem to be there at the moment!

Zhang Lin looked at the captain's room, it was very simple, due to the rush of time, many facilities were not installed, but there were necessary equipment, Zhang Lin also understood that it was a miracle that this kind of warship was completed in a short time!

"Sir, the friendly forces ahead are asking to set sail!" The correspondent took off the headset and said to Zhang Lin!

"Set sail!" With Zhang Lin's order, the engine of the Liberty began to roar, and Zhang Lin deliberately added two more high-pressure boilers, resulting in 60,000 horsepower more horsepower than the original plan.

With the departure of the Liberty, the fleet began to put on an escort formation, counting the Hope, a total of four destroyers, sailing in the outermost part, three light cruisers in a triangle around the Liberty in the middle, on the way to the Storm Strait, it was the process of the Liberty sea trials, and before the battle began, all problems had to be eliminated!

"Sir, everything is normal in the boiler compartment, and the current power output is 150,000 horsepower!" The boiler unit reports the current operating condition of the boiler!

"Engine room report, engine is running normally!" This is a routine report that is not small, and it is also specially requested by Zhang Lin!

"Order the fleet to move at full speed!" Zhang Lin felt that it was time to let the Liberty run at her maximum speed!

"The boiler group reported that the boiler power was maximum, the pressure was stable, and there was no abnormality!"

"The chief has completed the speed measurement, the maximum speed is thirty-three .5 knots, and the current speed is still rising, and the maximum speed is predicted to be thirty-four knots!"

After Zhang Lin listened, he was already very satisfied with the speed of thirty-four knots, ten high-pressure boilers, with a total power output of 300,000 horsepower, which allowed the Liberty to reach such a top speed, which was enough for the enemy to drink a pot in battle!

In the following days, the Liberty continued to carry out various tests, at present all the crew is stable, after these few days of sailing, Zhang Lin led the fleet to approach the Rattlesnake Strait, Zhang Lin does not plan to detour, this time no matter who stands in the way, just need to hit it!

Rattlesnake Strait, Blue Moon Empire Navy's Third Fleet "Commander, an unknown fleet has been found on the periphery of the Rattlesnake Strait, and it is going to force its way through the strait!" ”

"What, stop them for me!" The commander of the Third Fleet has been annoyed lately, the pirate's sneak attack has annoyed him enough, and now there is an unknown fleet that dares to force its way through, which has made him unbearable!

Li Li was observing the tower, and suddenly found several warships coming out of the Rattlesnake Strait, and picked up the communicator: "Sir, an unknown warship has been discovered, gather us fifteen kilometers!" ”

At this time, the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire also spotted the Freedom, and the sailors of the observation tower opened their mouths wide: "Hell, who can tell me what kind of battleship this is, so big, we can't beat it at all!" ”

The commander of the Third Fleet rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes at all: "Did the other party come at us?" ”

"Sir, yes, our battleship can't be compared with the other side at all, they just asked to pass through the strait, we let it go, there is no need to be an enemy with someone of this strength!" His operational staff officer gave the most pertinent answer!

"Yes, give the other party a signal, we will let it go, be sure not to fire a shot, and the violator will be dealt with by military law!" The commander of the Third Fleet quickly came to his senses and immediately let go of Zhang Lin's fleet!

Zhang Lin saw that the other party knew the current affairs, there was no need to provoke an empire, and ordered the fleet to pass through the strait quickly!

When the Hope crossed the strait, the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire was already stunned, such a huge battleship, it was the first time I saw it, and the cruiser next to it was insignificant compared to that monster, fortunately there was no war with such a battleship, otherwise it would be miserable next time!

All kinds of data about the Liberty were quickly recorded by the Third Fleet and sent to the upper echelons of the Empire, but this had nothing to do with Zhang Lin, he just wanted to go back!

The Pirate Alliance is still at war with the Blue Moon Empire, after Zhang Lin led the fleet through the Rattlesnake Strait, he came to the area where the two armies were fighting, he didn't mind looking for pirates' bad luck when he was in a hurry, this time he must not let them have a good time!

Four destroyers have already dispersed, and only three light cruisers are left to accompany the USS Liberty!

"The Hope reported that the Pirate Alliance fleet was found in front, the flag is Black Dragon, it may be the Black Dragon Fleet, and four warships have been found in the place, and the type of battleship is unknown!" The report of the Hope made Zhang Lin very interested! "I'm looking for you? Send it to my mouth, and I'm welcome! ”

"Order the fleet to assemble at the coordinates of the Hope, and the whole army will be ready for combat at the first level!" Zhang Lin's order has just been given! The detection radar of the Liberty was turned on at full power, and Zhang Lin was going to blatantly go to find the bad luck of the Pirate Alliance!

Immediately, the Liberty began to rush to the coordinates of the Hope at full power!

"Sir, I've noticed a problem, the bow of the Liberty is shaking at full speed, but it's hard to notice!" Li Li told Zhang Lin about the report he had just received!

"I know, will it affect airworthiness?" Zhang Lin asked!

"It won't have an impact on seaworthiness, but the bow shake may have an impact on the firing of the No. 1 main gun in front!" Li Li paused, "But this is just speculation, everything has to be real!" ”
