The British fleet has been built into the most powerful naval fleet in the world after centuries of painstaking operation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The British, with this luxurious fleet, have been cruising the seas of the world with impunity in recent decades.

In order to counter Britain's maritime military power, Chen Zhong planned to form a submarine force at sea four years ago.

The enemy is not hateful, far away from the cold, showing the cold, and the cold, so the most

Since Fisher took charge, the British Navy has always pursued the policy of "big cannon ships", and its warships have large tonnage, large caliber of guns, and great power.

Chen Zhong considered that if we want to quickly catch up with and surpass Britain's "cannon giants" in recent years, it is unrealistic in terms of infrastructure, technical personnel, and so on.

However, the only way to crush the Royal Navy was to find another way.

As a result, Chen resolutely decided to turn his attention to underwater warships, submarines.

Before crossing over, Chen Zhong had done in-depth research on the fleets of various countries in World War I and World War II.

Therefore, he is very clear about the size and technology of the fleets of several major naval powers.

In this East China Sea War, although the British army was very arrogant, they did not dare to despise the naval fleet of the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, after the British king made up his mind to wage war against the Chinese Empire, the British naval command added two giant battleships to the Far East Fleet, the Sovereign and the Conquistador.

These giant battleships are all new Orion-class warships that were only produced and completed by the United Kingdom this year.

The Royal Navy's newly designed Orion-class battleships focused on increased firepower and were completely different from previous British-built battleships.

In order to maintain the British Navy's superiority in firepower, 10 new 13.5-inch guns were installed to replace the original 12-inch guns.

For the first time on a British dreadnought, the main turret was arranged along the longitudinal central axis of the hull, with five twin-mounted main gun turrets, two of the bow and stern of the turret hull, and one amidship, which was convenient for all the main guns to carry forward the fire power of the same side.

The Orion-class battleships further strengthened the defensive armor in the vital area. In order to control weight, the Orion class did away with the rear mainmast, which had been the hallmark of previous British battleships.

This Orion-class battleship has a full load displacement of 25,870 tons, 27,000 horsepower, and a speed of 21 knots. The range is 6,730 nautical miles / 10 knots.

The back of the far hatred refers to Tongyang Gang Xianjiqiu

Admiral Fremantle, commander of the British Far East Fleet, never imagined that such a bad situation would occur in the current situation in the East China Sea.

Although he had also made predictions of difficult situations before preparing for war, such a tragic scene made him unacceptable.

General Filimantle, looking at his comrades struggling on the verge of death on the surface of the East China Sea, quickly ignited a fire of revenge in his chest.

But where are the submarines of the Chinese Empire? If they were still in the surrounding waters, the British Far East Fleet led by him would be in danger of being attacked at any time.

After careful consideration, General Philmantle ordered that part of the ships be responsible for searching and observing, preparing for an attack on the submarine, and the other part of the people rescuing the people who have fallen into the water.

Admiral Philmantle's judgment was not wrong at all, the submarines of the Chinese Empire did not go far, and his goal was to defeat the flagship of the British Far East Fleet, the "Queen Victoria", and the living forces of this fleet.

At 22:58, the submarines of the Chinese Imperial Submarine Force raised their periscopes again, and immediately saw the "Queen Victoria", the flagship of the British Far East Fleet, approaching.

The five submarines of the Chinese Empire quickly aimed their sterns at the flagship "Queen Victoria" at the same time and opened the water shields of the torpedo tubes.

After not not, the moon refers to the secret hatred of Nuoyang Gang's technique

In a flash of lightning, ten torpedoes rushed to the bottom of the "Queen Victoria".

The reflection of the glass of the periscope on the submarine, which was spotted by the observers of the flagship "Queen Victoria".

"Submarine spotted!" Almost at the same time, the front and rear main guns and the side secondary guns on the flagship "Queen Victoria" were pointed at the five submarines.

In an instant, a volley of shells from the ship hit. The five submarines of the empire did not dare to be careless, and quickly dived and retreated.

The post-department is not the main cold kexue secret examination

The periscope was gone, but where the periscope protruded, two tracks covered with white foam appeared, heading straight for the flagship "Queen Victoria".

The "Queen Victoria", the flagship of the British Far East Fleet, could not avoid the incoming torpedoes.

"Torpedo! Torpedo! "There was a panic on the flagship" Queen Victoria ". The torpedo rushed forward at a speed of 38 knots.

As the seconds passed, the torpedoes approached step by step, and even the sound of the tail jet could be heard.

General Philmantle commanded his warship to turn left and right, trying to avoid the Grim Reaper. The flagship "Queen Victoria" managed to avoid the first, dodging the second...... The seventh, however, the eighth torpedo got into the middle of the hull and exploded.

Suddenly black smoke rose everywhere, and the hull of the flagship "Queen Victoria" lost power.

However, the shelling of the "Queen Victoria", the flagship of the British Far East Fleet, also surprised the submarines of the Chinese Empire, but fortunately escaped the shells.

Five of the Empire's submarines fired their torpedoes and sailed away from the scene, watching from afar at the flagship, the Queen Victoria, which had lost power and floated on the water and swirled with the waves.

The submarines of the Chinese Empire saw that the flagship "Queen Victoria" showed no signs of sinking, and their determination to sink it became even stronger.

Seeing this situation, Pang Hucheng commanded the submarine to make a large circle and came to the left rear of the flagship "Queen Victoria", which was not easy to observe.

The submarine raised the periscope again, and slowly, the target again came into torpedo range.

After receiving the order to attack, the ten torpedoes of five submarines roared against the surface of the water and rushed towards the "Queen Victoria".

The flagship of the British Far East Fleet, HMS Victoria, simply could not evade the incoming torpedoes.

All the naval guns concentrated their fire in an attempt to interdict these torpedo shots.

However, this heavy artillery fire did not help, and they were unable to stop the torpedoes in the end.

HMS Queen Victoria, the flagship of the British Far East Fleet, had no choice but to watch as the torpedoes came at her.

At 11:35, the torpedo hit the target, and the British flagship "Queen Victoria" was stopped and broken in half, and began to sink slowly in a choking smoke of fire.

The British battleship "George" rushed into the sea of fire and took General Philmantle and some of the sailors on board, and they escaped the catastrophe of falling into the sea.

At this time, the East China Sea Operations Command of the Chinese Empire on Chongming Island received a military intelligence report from the Tsushima Strait.

Chen Zhong ordered the first guerrilla formation of the Bohai Fleet to move closer to the British Far East Fleet, and the naval aviation group could take off with ammunition and bomb the British Far East Fleet!
