The Baifumei Baiyang Democratic Federation on the Baiyang Plain has a large and powerful army, although the number is not as large as the Xilu Imperial Army, but it is well-equipped, the tactical concept is advanced, although the number is small, the actual combat effectiveness is stronger than the Xilu Imperial Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Her navy is even more powerful than Siru, so powerful that she can completely ignore the existence of Siru's navy. At the time of the war between the two countries, her navy had 39 cruisers of various types, 3 heavy cruisers (another one was under construction), 13 destroyers, two seaplane carriers, and four advanced battle cruisers (under construction) ordered from foreign countries. At that time, the Xilu Imperial Navy only had gunboats and anti-smuggling boats stolen from Oak Mini Lori.

Just five years before the full-scale war with the Xilu Empire, the navy and marines of the White Ocean Federation also won a colonial war, known as the Roquedel War, which consisted of the Battle of the Roquedel Sea and the landing of Roquedel Point. The opponent was the Tasman Empire, which was once one of the world's three major powers and the sixth largest in the world at that time, and was sinking step by step. The country has a bit of an Ottoman turkey, and Turkey in the second half of the 19th century was indeed a turkey that tasted so good that the great Tsarist Russia had always loved it.

The Tasman Empire was a continental power, and its navy was not strong but by no means weak. Cape Roquedel was the country's most important overseas colony, heavily garrisoned, and the Imperial Offshore Fleet was stationed here all year round. It is also an important shipping place, and you can sit on the ground and collect money every year, just like collecting road and bridge tolls on the territory of a certain country, but people can sell things to make money, at least it is much fairer than gasping for gas.

It is indeed inconceivable that the newly small power Baiyang Democratic Federation defeated the once three major powers in the world and still pulled out its teeth to seize important places. After the war, the country was impressive, its international status soared, and the important city of Cape Roquedel became a colony of the White Ocean Democratic Federation, which was applauded by most countries in the world. The unfortunate loser Tasman Empire not only lost this important place for sea navigation, but also exposed the nature of the sick man who was strong on the outside, and the big powers began to pay attention to this turkey delicacy.

After this battle, the Tasman Empire organized a defeated counterattack (the Second Battle of Cape Roquedel) and fell into other wars, began to accelerate its decline, and quickly fell out of the top ten. It can be said that these two victories were entirely due to the powerful ocean-going fleet and strong comprehensive national strength of the White Ocean Democratic Federation.

Here, we appreciate these two wars, and also analyze the equipment and overall combat effectiveness of the Navy of the White Ocean Democratic Federation through these two wars.

In 93 B, the Tasman Empire, in order to make up for the fiscal shortfall, began to impose heavy taxes on merchant ships transiting through it, including the shipping hub of Cape Roquedel. Merchant ships from all over the world avoided it, so they had to buy high-grade fresh water, heavy oil retailed by Sinopec, and food made in China and sold in Japan, and then pay a very heavy tax, and collected parking fees, car fares, and fuel taxes, so they also had to pay tolls. (Nima, this is a duplicate charge, who did you learn this from.) ）

At the end of 94 of the B century, a black shop was opened on this tourist spot, and the profiteering behavior of selling Niu Master ramen on the top of Mount Tai escalated. The fleet of the empire went directly to enforce the law on the road, stopped cars to collect fees, and warships drove to the nearby high seas to forcibly intercept ships, detained ships and demanded money, collected taxes, collected taxes, and tolls. There is no doubt that this is naked pirate robbery, so this act is limited to ships of weak countries in the eyes of the Tasman Empire. After being robbed several times, the White Ocean Federation ships began to make as many detours as possible around the Tasman-controlled area.

On June 20, 95 B, the Tasman Empire's Offshore Fleet, stationed at Cape Roquedel, an important maritime navigation point, intercepted the armed merchant fleet of the White Ocean Democratic Federation on the high seas, and the two sides exchanged fire. Warships fighting merchant ships, it can be imagined. After looting, the Tasman Navy "confiscated" the remaining merchant ships. At that time, a total of seven merchant ships were intercepted, two were sunk, and the remaining five ships and cargo became "government assets" of the Tasman Empire.

For thousands of years, the Baiyang Democratic Federation, a wealthy country and a new small and medium-sized country, has always had a history of fighting against pirates, and the historical experience of this kind of thing is definitely very rich. To deal with pirates, there has never been one word for thousands of years, fight, take the pirate's nest, and recapture their own merchant ships, oops, this group of pirates' nest is really super tall, the location is superb, if you can occupy it, then it will be ...... That's it...... That's it. Let's take it. WAR! SHIP! GO!

I didn't drink much, I don't drink. Is it wrong? This is not a Somali pirate, a Malacca pirate, a regular army of the former superpower, and an ocean-going fleet of the sixth most powerful country in the world. Not only the battleships of the fleet, but also the shore artillery. Where can you beat others in an emerging small and medium-sized country with a commercial foundation? Besides, it's still an expedition of laborers? Are you crazy? Isn't this sending to death?

The decision was made after the Xiaoqiang Baiyang Democratic Federation fully collected relevant information, conducted full systematic arguments and many war games, and voted on secretly by the upper house of the country. The decision-making process is absolutely scientific and 100% democratic. The White Ocean Democratic Federation believes that its own fleet can definitely destroy the garrison fleet of the Tasman Empire, and can also use the Marines to take the important place of Cape Roquedel. Almost all of the active ships of her navy are new, with an average age of less than 15 years, the capital ships all adopt new ship designs, new large-caliber guns and weapon fire control systems are fought accurately, the latest internal combustion engine power system ensures that the maximum speed of the ships is more than 30 knots, and they continue to introduce the most advanced naval equipment at any cost, such as 610 mm long-range torpedoes. The combat mode and naval battle concept of this navy are the latest in the world, "only follow the first place and learn the most advanced in the world".

Although there are many large ships in the Imperial Offshore Fleet stationed at Cape Roquedale, most of the main warships are old, most of the large warships are still using steam engines, and all the capital ships do not have an artillery fire command and control system. The Native Chicken Imperial Navy has always had a tradition of arrogance and self-style, outdated concepts, and super conservative tactical concepts, although they were beaten again and again, this disease still could not be cured, until a few years later, the native chicken was roasted and eaten by a number of large countries, and the disease was still not cured.

……

After full preparation, the Federal Navy fleet made a decisive attack, and the large ships that could sail there were dispatched. The expeditionary fleet consists of 2 Federation-class heavy cruisers, 6 Caiyun-class large cruisers (similar to the Japanese Combined Fleet Type 136 but with reduced armor, the Oyodo light armored version), 17 medium-sized ocean-going cruisers of various types (equipped with 610 mm torpedoes, this is a super powerful fleet decisive weapon), 20 supply ships and oil tankers and other auxiliary vessels, and 4 large troop carriers (more than 2,000 marines and their equipment supply) See the appendix for the situation.

On October 11, 95 B century, the two fleets encountered.

At 14:31 on the same day, the reconnaissance aircraft of the Federal Navy's expeditionary fleet discovered two small and medium-sized auxiliary warships of the Tasman Empire's Cape Roquedel garrison fleet. At 15:16, the USS Federation and the USS Honor stepped forward to the attack position, and the heavy artillery fire quickly sank the two small warships, which were two Bruno-class light cruisers, bestsellers in the international arms market, large road goods, and super melee firepower, but unfortunately no one played melee with him this time. At 12 noon local time in Cape Roquedel, the White Ocean Democratic Federation had declared war on the Tasman Empire in strict accordance with international law, and it was completely legal to fight their ship.

People are not like little Japan, they come up and stab you first, stab you in the liver, it declares war on you, stabs you in the leg, it says it was just an accident.

After receiving the telegram of the declaration of war from the White Ocean Democratic Federation, the high-level of the Tasman Empire laughed, "This goods are here to send money, immediately organize an expeditionary fleet and go to him to grab enough."

At that time, the Tasman Empire naval fleet stationed at Cape Roquedel was very leisurely, although it turned into pirates, but our family was a pirate of a superpower, and besides, we only robbed the goods of small and weak countries and distant countries, so they couldn't help us. If you do a lot of pirate work, you will be familiar with the road, and besides, the army of the barbarian empire has always had the traditional custom of plundering caravans. Even though it was known that a country had declared war on the Empire, the fleet was free to roam and enjoy itself. People think so: We are far away from the front line, let's talk about Lele first, even if the fleet of the White Ocean Federation comes, what can he do with us, we are powerful. Judging from the number of ships and tonnage of artillery, the pirate fleet of this great country stationed here is indeed very powerful, which is why they can sit still. After learning the news of the enemy attack, the captains of the fleet were still talking and laughing.

"They're finally here to die."

"Our fleet is going to practice live firing again."

"Lost two auxiliary ships, nothing."

"It is necessary to give them a glimpse of the navy of the superpower."

"It is necessary to remind you that we are not as good as before, and the ranking of the world's naval power has dropped again and again."

"Our national strength has declined a little over the years, and it is declining quite quickly."

"No matter how much it declines, the main fleet of our superpower's offshore colonies will be more powerful than their small countries."

"A poor nouveau riche with only money dares to argue with a powerful country like ours, and he must teach them a lesson."

"Shouldn't we find out about the enemy first?"

"I don't think so, it's just a group of merchants, and the Imperial fleet will destroy them in minutes."

……

"Tomorrow, the Japanese fleet will attack."

At 10 a.m. on October 12, the Tasman Imperial Naval fleet was dispatched. It's a huge fleet, it's a mighty fleet, it's a near-invincible fleet, like the Spanish Armada in 1588.

Let's meet the armada of the Sunset Empire. The following is a list of all large combat vessels in the Tasman Imperial Navy's fleet:

The Meisu-class battleships, a total of 7 ships, all in service

The first generation of self-built dreadnoughts, self-built, slightly ironclad battleships, the first B century was built in 54, with a standard displacement of 9,020 tons, a full load displacement of 9,800 tons, a length of 106.2 meters, a width of 18.8 meters, a draft of 8.1 meters, equipped with 12 152mm guns (6 twins), 14 single-seat 76mm guns and two single-seat 47mm guns, using a three-rise steam engine, rated power of 11,000 horsepower, maximum speed of 16 knots. Personnel: 630

Die-class battleships, a total of 7 ships, all in service

The first generation of dreadnoughts, self-built, the appearance of ironclad battleships, the empire at that time was very rich, and it was able to build two capital ships at the same time. The first ship was built in 55 years of the B century, with a standard displacement of 9,320 tons, a full load displacement of 9,910 tons, a length of 111.6 meters, a width of 19.9 meters, a draft of 8.2 meters, a rated engine power of 14,000 horsepower, a maximum speed of 17.7 knots, and 12 250mm guns (6 twins) and 6 76mm guns (single) and 6 single-seat 47mm guns. Personnel: 600

The Redbeard King-class battleship, a total of 6 ships, all in service

The country's first generation of battleships built in cooperation with the allied Kingdom Wilhelm. The construction of the first ship began in June 66 of the B century, when the empire had strong financial resources, and six warships were built at the same time, and they were launched almost simultaneously in January of the B century 68, and all of them began official service in October of the following year. At that time, with the launch of these six capital ships, the country's navy began to have 20 active ironclad dreadnoughts (ironclad battleships) in October 69 of the B century, and the number of large dreadnoughts with a tonnage of about 10,000 tons jumped to the first place in the world at that time. This record stood for more than 10 years, and was not broken until September 81 of the B century.

Displacement: standard 10013 tons and 10670 tons at full load. Dimensions: 115.8x19.5x7.9. Speed: 16 knots

Power plant: 12 boilers, 2 sets of three-rise reciprocating steam engine, main engine power: 9,698-10, 2282 shafts, 2 propellers, coal: 1050 tons, heavy oil: 110 tons

Endurance: 10 knots 4300 nautical miles 14 knots 2180 nautical miles Weapons: main guns: 2 2 units 260mm/L40; 2 single tubes 260mm/L35; Secondary gun: 6 single-barreled 105mm/L35; 8-seater single tube 88mm/L30; Torpedo: 6 450mm torpedo tubes

ArmorMain armor belt: 300-400-300mm Horizontal armor: 180-200-180mm Deck: 60mm Main turret: 120mm on both sides 50mm on top

Turrets: 300mm Conning tower: 300mm on both sides and 30mm on top Personnel: 568-591 people

Bruno-class protective cruisers: Purchased from abroad, there were 20 of them at that time, all of them in service.

B century 84 ordered from the international arms market. The empire originally planned to buy more than 36 ships, but due to the lack of funds for the navy, only 20 were bought back at this time. All of them are the strongest firepower configuration (Guild Battle) of the Bruno Protected Cruiser. This type of ship was an internationally popular arms trade ship at that time, and most of the buyers were small and medium-sized countries that lacked the ability to build ships. Since the late 70s of the B century, a large number of old and medium-sized ships have been decommissioned one after another, resulting in a serious shortage of cruisers in the Tasman Empire Navy, limited shipbuilding capacity, and relatively backward technology, unable to provide a sufficient number of warships for the navy. In order to replenish the Navy's auxiliary ships, the country plans to purchase a large number of medium-sized warships of a certain type from overseas and issue a tender message. Among the dozens of warships from more than a dozen bidding shipyards, this type of warship from Grumman Shipyard was selected by the empire because of its cheap price and reliable performance. The Empire was very fond of this type of ship. After the two naval battles in the Sea of Roquedel, the country did not hesitate to pay liquidated damages and mark-ups, withheld all orders from other countries, and purchased a total of 9 ships of this type again (all of which can be completed in a short period of time), and these ships were all delivered before the middle of B96 as scheduled. So far, the Tasman Empire has purchased a total of 29 warships of various types from the Grumman shipyard, becoming the largest buyer of this type of warship. In addition, the country has purchased warships of this type from the second-hand arms market.

This type of warship has been selling well in the international arms market for nearly 20 years with its fast speed, fierce firepower, and low price, and the cumulative total sales of various types are as many as 126 ships, making it one of the most built cruisers in the world. Later, there was a lot of criticism about this type of warship in the international market, mainly because its armor thickness was insufficient, it had no firepower and speed, and its protection was too poor, so it was not suitable for naval combat operations with a certain intensity, but it was still very suitable for use as a maritime patrol ship.

The data of cruisers of this type are as follows:

Displacement: 3130 tons, dimensions: 103.63x14.48x4.88 (draft), speed: 27 knots, power: 2 vertical steam engines, main engine power: 12500 horsepower

Armament: 2 x 152mm cannons; 8 120mm guns; 6 47mm rapid-fire guns; 6 37mm rapid-fire guns; Torpedo: 2 381mm launch tubes;

The armor is unknown, and it is said that the armor is extremely light and thin, and the bullet resistance is very poor, so it can only bully merchant ships. Personnel: 320 people.

Borg-class light cruisers: 12 units, all in service. Another 6 ships are under construction and will be completed soon.

Construction began in 85 of the B century. Built with the help of the engineers of the allied Kingdom of William, it is called self-made, but it is actually assembled. It is planned to build at least 36 ships, and the first construction has set a world record for the number of warships of the same class at the same shipyard at the same time with 12 at a time, but the country's financial constraints, coupled with the fact that the Bruno-class cruisers are cheaper and more practical than this type of ship, the project funds are limited, and only 6 warships can be built or assembled at the same time, and in the end, only 18 warships of this type were built in three batches. The data is as follows:

Displacement: 4500 tons (standard) 5500 (fully loaded) tons Dimensions: 138.7×13.4×6 Speed: 27 knots

Power plant: 16 coal boilers, 2 oil boilers, 2 steam turbines, 3 shaft main engine power: 25000 coal: 1200 heavy oil: 106 endurance: 5820 nautical miles at 12 knots

Armament: 8 single-barreled 150mm/L45, 12-seat single-barreled 105mmL45, 2-seater single-barreled 88mmL45 torpedoes: 2 500mm launch tubes

Armor: Waterline Armor Belt: 18-61mm Deck: 18-61mm Crash Compartment: 40mm Conning Tower: 100mm on both sides and 18mm on top; Personnel: 364

The great Khan-class battleships, four, all in service.

The main battleship, the most powerful battleship of the Empire, the data is as follows:

Displacement: Standard 23,000 tons, Full load: 25,500 tons Dimensions (m): 186.5x29.5x9.2 Speed: 25.5 knots

Powerplant: 24 boilers, 2 Parsons steam turbines, maximum power 52,000 hp (overload power 56,000 hp); 4 shafts, 4 propellers, twin rudders

Endurance: 4120 nautical miles at 14 knots

Weapons: 5 main guns, 2 2-pack 280mmL50; 12 secondary guns, single-barreled 150mmL45; 12-seater single-tube 88mmL45; Torpedoes: 4 500 mm torpedo tubes, underwater mounted, one at the bow and one at the tail and one under the two A-turrets

Armor: Broadside Armor: 269mm + 50mm Teak Horizontal Armor: 100mm Deck: 50mm Torpedo Compartment Increase: 46-50mm

Main turret: frontal 228mm, sides 30mm, rear 30mm, top 80mm, 155mm gun profile, armor: 150mm, 88mm, gun shield: 80mm

Turret: 231mm Command tower: 350mm on both sides and 80mm on top Personnel: peacetime: 1053 people 1240 people in wartime

In order to maintain the superiority of the navy's capital ships at sea, in June 87 of the B century, with the help of the Kingdom of William, the Tasman Empire began to design and build the next generation of capital ships, and the first batch of 4 warships B91 was launched in January and completed in June of the following year B92, and officially joined the active service that year.

This type of ship uses a large number of technologies and materials from the Kingdom of William, which assisted in the construction, and all the weapons are equipped with the standards of that country. It is planned to build 8 to 12 ships, and the Imperial Navy plans to use this class of warships as the main ocean-going warships of the Imperial Navy from the end of the B century to the beginning of the C century. The empire had only four ships completed and commissioned at that time. The other four ships were under construction at the time, but due to lack of funds, the progress of the project was extremely slow, which can be described as the speed of a snail, until the country had many civil strife, and the country was defeated one after another, falling into division and perishing, and these four ships were still unfinished. At that time, the rebels took the shipyard and captured these warships, whose hulls were nearing completion. Years after the fall of the Empire, the new state established by the rebels tried to complete the four warships, but the Kingdom of William, who had assisted the empire in building warships, also perished, and could no longer provide these warships with the necessary engines, weapons, and technical guidance for the construction of the warships, and even the steel plates for the warships were no longer produced. In the end, these four ships could only be dismantled and sold for scrap metal.

This class of battleships may have been the last major military artifact of this ancient empire, but none have survived.

The entry into service of these four ships in that year made the Tasman Empire have 24 capital ships of about 10,000 tons and more than 10,000 tons, and it seems that the number of capital ships in the country has once again entered the forefront of the world. However, at that time, the world's naval strength evaluation no longer regarded warships below 15,000 tons or even 20,000 tons as capital ships. At that time, the number one naval power had 2 giant battleships of 40,000 tons, 4 battleships of between 30,000 and 40,000 tons, and as many as 11 warships of nearly 30,000 tons below 30,000 tons. The country has only four so-called giant ships of more than 20,000 tons and six large warships of more than 10,000 tons, which will definitely not enter the top 10 of the world's naval forces.

In fact, the Tasman Empire was very old at that time, but in order to maintain its apparent strength, he was still using limited financial resources to maintain and expand its armaments and decorate the façade. At that time, those high-level officials of the empire knew very well that once the façade of this empire was broken and it was impossible to scare people, the powers around the empire and other powers in the world would not hesitate to rush over and eat themselves like a cake, either slapping their swollen faces and filling up their fat people to survive, or they would cower and be seen as weak and the essence of weakness would be carved up.

In fact, the decision-makers of those powerful countries have long seen the weakness of the Tasman Empire's aging dragon clock, and they are afraid of the majesty of the empire in the past, or the profit cake is not big enough, or they think that the best time has not yet come, and these countries have not yet taken action. The Baiyang Democratic Federation can be said to be a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, and the merchants have seen the Tasman Empire's pretense of arrogance, and behind the display of strength is the extreme weakness of the actual national strength. An old empire with a regular ocean-going fleet that had to work part-time as pirates was already faltering, and a young man could kick him over with a single kick. The White Ocean Federation believes that in the open sea, the overseas colony of Roquedel, at the end of the world, her naval strength is enough to defeat this old empire, and the capture of this place means that the rolling gold flows into the treasury every year, driven by the potential huge benefits, the royal sister bravely brandished the long sword......

Caiyun-class large cruiser (data from the Japanese Combined Fleet Oyodo light cruiser, with modifications)

24 large cruisers of the Caiyun class are planned to be built, and a total of 18 have been successfully built. The Caiyun class is very distinctive in structure. This is because it was designed to be a merchant fleet escort ship that could be used professionally. In order to effectively avoid the enemy fleet, the merchant fleet must have a strong ability to seek the enemy, otherwise the merchant fleet with only a few escort ships will definitely die if it encounters the enemy's main fleet. To this end, the White Ocean Federation designed a small seaplane hangar and catapult on this type of ship to serve as an ocean-going escort ship for the merchant fleet. The ship also has a large and amazing range and is equipped with a large number of other facilities.

It can be said that the task orientation of the Caiyun-class large ocean-going cruisers is very obvious. He has flagship-level bridge facilities, towering masts, powerful communication capabilities, and extremely powerful ability to seek the enemy. Since it was a merchant fleet escort ship, his lightning strike ability was not emphasized, so he was a rare untorpedoed ship below the heavy cruiser of the Japanese Navy. In addition, his artillery is very powerful, and the main gun uses a 155-mm triple main gun, although it is only equipped with two. The main guns were all equipped in the bow of the ship, because of the need to be equipped with a complete seaplane installation at the stern.

Brief parameters at a glance

The daily displacement is 8100 tons, the full load displacement is 8800 tons, the length of the ship is 192m, and the width of the ship is 16.6m

Armor: 40mm on the side and 25mm on the deck (why is it lighter than your data, because there is less armor)

maximum speed, 35 knots; Duration 18 knots / hour 8700 nautical miles;

The armament is 15.5cm, 60 times the diameter of the main gun, three consecutive guns, two bases, a total of six

There are eight 10cm65 times diameter continuous high-angle guns with four bases

Six 25mm triple loading machine guns, a total of 18 units

Six high-speed surface reconnaissance aircraft

The 17 medium-sized ocean-going cruisers of various types are all modified versions of the Nagara-type light cruisers of the Japanese Combined Fleet. Full load displacement 6200t, length 163, width 14.8, draft 4.8m, side armor 40mm, deck 25mm. The speed is 34 knots, and the armament is 7 140mm single-mounted guns, 22 25mm twin guns, and 6-base 8-unit 610 torpedo launchers. This 610 torpedo is the famous spear torpedo.
