readx; Not only that, but the Germans found out again that the 380 mm main gun, which had been discarded earlier, was diverted from the 380 mm main gun of the Bismarck A design, considering the redundancy of adding a 406-mm secondary gun. During the First World War www.biquge.info, the Germans built battleships with 380 mm guns, and the technology of 380 mm guns was very familiar to Krupp, and there were almost no problems in production and development, and it took little time.

The Germans knew very well that the difference in power between the 480 mm and 800 mm guns was very large, and on land the 480 mm shells could only cover a maximum range of a few hundred square meters, while the 800 mm shells were more than a thousand square meters; Even if the water column splashed by 480-mm shells at sea is only a big bath for the opponent at best, the 800-mm shells smashing on the sea will make those ships of less than 1,000 tons and 10,000 tons like a flat boat in a stormy sea.

Therefore, the layout of the main guns on the Hindenburg was based on a battleship called "Rio de Janeiro" built by the British for the Brazilians in the early days, and later renamed "Akingelt". Construction of this guy was started by the Armstrong Company in September 1911 and launched in 1913, which took less than 2 years. Then the Turks became the ultimate buyer, and what did the tyrants do with the battleship, which had been renamed "Osman Sultan I", and what made people's jaws drop was that the tyrant Turkey actually asked the shipyard to decorate the "Osman Sultan I" like a luxury cruise ship. It turned out that Turkey wanted to dedicate the "Osman Sultan I" to his own Sultan Majesty as a yacht. Wow, we really don't understand the world of local tyrants.

The Akingkelt is famous for being the battleship with the most main gun turrets on the central axis of the hull and going down in history, the battleship with the most turrets in history had seven twin main gun turrets, two of which were knapsacked; The two amidships are located between two chimneys; The three stern turrets are pyramid-shaped, with the middle turret mounted above the front and rear turrets. However, the strange British named the turret from bow to stern "Monday" to "Sunday". Of course, what is criticized is that in order to reduce weight and maintain speed, it was forced to sacrifice the strength of the simplified structure and armor protection, the thickness of the protective armor was only equivalent to the level of the battle cruisers at that time, and the watertight compartments were reduced, and the buoyancy of the reserve was also reduced accordingly. At that time, it was even rumored that the ship's main guns would destroy the hull structure when fired in a salvo. The Germans did not bother to do this, on the contrary, the Germans would build the battleships longer and longer, and the tonnage became larger and larger. The overall layout of the Hindenburg is actually somewhat similar to that of the Akingkelt, and both of them also inherited the design of most super-dreadnoughts of the First World War, and all the main guns were arranged on the center line to give full play to the full firepower advantage, which proved to be correct in the later stages of World War I and World War II. Judging from the fact that the strict Germans would not have done this kind of behavior that would later prove to be stupid, the British could only use the hull, which was considered to be extraordinarily long at the time, and the Germans believed that if the more powerful main guns were to be installed, the hull would inevitably be lengthened, widened, and the tonnage would be increased. The turrets of the British were arranged in 2 on the foredeck, 2 in the middle of the deck and 3 on the aft deck. This layout does not seem flawed, but the two chimneys are spaced far apart in order to install the two turrets in the middle. Between the chimneys, the British again strangely set up a long flybridge, obscuring the two central turrets from above.

Seriously, this did not increase the strength of the hull, and the flybridge, nicknamed "Marble Arch", was immediately dismantled after delivery to the Royal Navy.

Having said that, the Germans had already realized that the design flaws of the relict of the 7-turret Cult were deliberately made by the designers of the time. The designer's attempt to sell his design was a means of swindling a large amount of silver from the stupid hats of unsavvy foreigners, who had also touted the sacred object to his own country.

However, the Germans thought that Hindenburg had to do this if they wanted to maintain 14 main guns, and as for the extra chimney, the Germans simply canceled the funny design of the double chimney and concentrated on using a large chimney for the battleship.

As a result, the appearance of this strangely shaped megaton giant at the beginning of the test on the sea, still shocked many people's jaws, continuing some characteristics of the multi-turret Cult Relic "Akingkelt" demolished by the British in 1922, 14 main guns and 7 twin-mounted turret layouts, longer size and heavier tonnage are not intended to show the pride of this giant, and it deserves to once again hold the title of a new generation of multi-turret Cult Relic.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Two enemy warships with very different tonnage and firepower met in the vast Atlantic, and the crews of both sides would give full play to the maximum power of their warships for their motherland.

"Damn, what kind of battleship is that, it's like a mountain." On the watchtower on the King Arthur, a British sailor saw a very oppressive sea beast on the opposite sea in a high-powered large observation telescope.

"Unknown warship found, suspected German Navy Hindenburg." The sailor turned to the ship's telephone in the watchtower and reported to his commander on the bridge.

"Oh, the Germans actually made 7 turrets! How is this possible, it is obviously a replica of the Akingkelt. A naval staff officer stepped out of the bridge onto the foredeck of the King Arthur, holding up his binoculars and looking at the watchtower's report. What shocked him particularly was that the battleship on the opposite side was actually a 7-turret battleship, which startled him.

"It's the enemy ship Hindenburg, all attention! Speed up! Let the King Arthur seize the T-prefix for artillery warfare!! "The captain gave the order loudly at this time.

Bursts of battle sirens rang incessantly throughout the ship, and all the officers and men of the ship took action one after another, and each of them took their positions and posts on standby. Of course, the staff officer on the foredeck had already taken refuge in the bridge by this time.

"Attention the whole ship, right half rudder!" The captain again gave the command, and the helmsman repeated it again loudly.

I saw that this King Arthur super battleship came to a big tail flick, as if it was drifting on the sea, and the stern writhed with the hull of the ship and swung its tail like a fish.

"It's King Arthur, they're grabbing the T-word!" When the King Arthur had just made a move, the German sailors who spotted the watchtower on their Hindenburg were communicating with the bridge using a walkie-talkie.

"Damn, we're on the right side of the rudder too!" Layton gritted his teeth and issued the order.

Another battle siren sounded in every corner of the Hindenburg, and the crew made the same choice as the opposing opponent, returning to their respective positions.

"Understood, right rudder!" The first mate, who was the helmsman, skillfully adjusted the steering wheel, and the first mate informed the ship of the current situation.

The warships of both sides drew circles on the surface of the sea like two black and white gold fish drawing Tai Chi, but this circle was too big. While the warships of both sides drew circles, the main guns of both sides slowly pointed their muzzles at each other under the drive of the turret motors. The long barrel of the cannon shook like a forest, making the onlookers' scalps tingle, and the British slender toothpick-like 510mm guns locked onto their opponents one step ahead of the Germans' 800mm guns; Due to the large caliber of the main gun and the heavy turret, the main guns of the Germans appeared to be sluggish, but this did not affect the accuracy of the German shelling.

"Main gun, lock in place!" The turrets of both sides locked on one after another, and then the call in the turret sounded from inside the bridge.

"Reload!" At the same time, the captains on both sides immediately gave orders to the gunners in the turret.

In the huge 7 turrets of the Hindenburg, due to the extensive use of mechanical hydraulic loaders and hoisting machines, 800 mm shells were lifted out of the ammunition depot by the mechanical arm and fed into the gun chamber together with the silk-wrapped medicine pack, and the gunners guarding the turret pressed the shell button and waited for the main gun to be fired; At the same time, King Arthur also completed this action, to be honest, the British had to complete it before the Germans, because the caliber of the Germans' main guns was too large, and the British's caliber was quite suitable, only 510 mm, so the British had priority in the speed of the bomb, but when it came to power, the Germans had the advantage.

"The shells and medicine packages are filled!" The gunners in the turrets of both sides were nervous and orderly, or they were desperately completing every task assigned by the commander in the bridge.

"Fire!" The fire control officer of the British was one step ahead, and the Germans pressed the shelling button of the design of the main gun of the control turret inside the bridge.

The Germans pressed the cannon button only a few seconds after the opponent pressed it.

The British launched a preemptive artillery attack, followed by a German response.

I only heard the rumbling thunder in the sky, and the sound of cannonballs falling from the sky was whistling in the sky. First of all, the small shells of the British swirled in the sky and fell in the direction of the opposing battleship Hindenburg, and the shells with their warheads downwards fell sharply under the action of acceleration.

"Boom" burst into several huge columns of water. "Near-missed!" x2

"Brushed over the side of the ship, no damage!" x2

The damage management crew of the Hindenburg reported the current status to the bridge.

Then, the Germans, who had received the British salute, returned the salute, and the powerful 800-mm cannonball roared into the sky with a thunderbolt, and then the bullet spun downwards and fell in the direction of King Arthur, and the same fierce man smashed down.

"Boom" and an even greater jet of water drenched the King Arthur.

"It's a near miss!" x2

"The hull is fine without touching the ship's side!" x2

The King Arthur's damage management crew reports to the bridge about their damage.

In the first shelling and school shooting, neither side hit the opponent or took advantage of anything.
