In the face of the murderous and surging Tasman Empire's huge fleet, the Federation dispatched all the naval forces at its disposal to reinforce the front line at Cape Roquedel. www.biquge.info In addition, the White Ocean Federation has also used an absolute super killer weapon - diplomacy. The top leaders of the Baiyang Democratic Federation are all from big merchant families, and they know how to exchange benefits for benefits and use interests to obtain victory since they were young. At this moment, the federal top brass has also clearly realized that Cape Roquedel is a hot potato, and it has to be sold, and it has to be sold at a good price.

The White Ocean Democratic Federation contacted the Tasman Empire's sworn enemy, Pollya, which had been plundered by nearly half of the territory, Borlia promised to help the White Ocean Federation, and sent large new warships to participate in the war, on October 20, the Polnia fleet set sail, and six new high-speed cruisers actually arrived at Cape Roquedel 10 days ahead of the Tasman Empire fleet. The reinforcement ships are Tejas class fast ultralight cruisers (similar to the "Fletcher" class) with full load displacement: 2700 tons; Main scale: total length 114.76 meters, total width 12.04 meters, draft 4.1 meters, speed: 35 knots, crew: 340 people, main guns: 3 twin 127 mm high-level dual-purpose guns, two in the front and one in the rear, torpedoes: 2 five-link 533-inch torpedo tubes, auxiliary weapons: 3 twin 40 mm Bofors high-level dual-purpose machine guns, 7 single-barreled 20 mm Erlikon high-level dual-purpose machine guns.

The White Ocean Democratic Federation was the historical enemy of the Tasman Empire, the fourth largest maritime power in the world at the time, and at the same time a quasi-superpower, our country (the United Empire of St. Roman-St. Sunia). Our country borders the Tasman Empire, and there have been many wars in history, and we have said that we can repair this barbarian turkey at the right time and place to liberate the enslaved people, but now I am busy with the army changing clothes, and after changing the equipment, I will pack up the turkeys and experiment with the performance of the new equipment. When it comes to Cape Roquedel, of course our country wants it, but there are people who want it more than our country - the Saxony-Windsor Empire. For our country, if the Rockdale Corner could be put in the hands of the Saxony-Windsor Empire in a suitable way, then the alliance between the Saxony-Windsor Empire and the Tasman Empire would not exist. The envoy of the White Ocean Federation instantly understood and was very willing to help with this. Our country says that hallelujah.

The White Ocean Democratic Federation contacted the heavyweight potential enemies of the Tasman Empire, which had contradictions and entanglements with the Tasman Empire over money and money, and the Saxony-Windsor Empire, the world's number one maritime power and superpower that had long coveted Rökedel Point. The Federation is well aware that the Tasman Empire has not been buying arms from the Saxony-Windsor Empire for a long time. The Saxony-Windsor empire is suffering from an economic crisis, he needs a turnaround, he needs money even more, and he needs a stable source of huge income to give him blood transfusions (money) to help him through the economic crisis.

After the battle of Cape Roquedel was reported, the superpower Saxony-Windsor Empire finally heard the news of the Tasman Empire, the big benefactor of the old friend, but unfortunately it did not come to buy our arms, and it was a long time not to buy my arms, and I heard that they all made their own. The relationship between the two countries was expected to be maintained by the arms trade, and the old historical contradiction between the Saxony-Windsor Empire and the Tasman Empire was revealed-the ownership of the Karan Canal, which was built by a Saxony-Windsor Empire nobleman in partnership and was confiscated by the Tasman Empire in the early years, and is now a golden shipping route, which is becoming more and more expensive. However, none of this money fell into the hands of the nobles of the Saxony-Windsor Empire, and these noble and wealthy people only received compensation equivalent to the cost of construction.

Suddenly, a turning point came, and a steady stream of huge income was delivered to the door.

Cape Roquedel, the Saxony-Windsor Empire wanted this commodity very much, the country had been in economic crisis for many years, and it was impossible to extricate itself, and it was impossible to pay for the goods, and it would be great if there was another substitute; The top leaders of both countries were businessmen and knew how to be flexible, and from the beginning of contact, it took only three days for the Saxony-Windsor Empire to make a deal with the White Ocean Democratic Federation.

According to the agreement, the Saxony-Windsor Empire sent a battle cruiser fleet with long-range fire to support the White Ocean Federation Army. After the victory at the Battle of Cape Roquedel, the Saxony-Windsor Empire used the weapons needed by the White Ocean Democratic Federation, war supplies, and two remote island colonies in exchange for Cape Roquedel. The Saxony-Windsor Empire used a large number of inventory of idle war materials, advanced weapons, and two remote places in exchange for a strategic place and a cash wallet, just like someone who sold two sets of houses in a remote small county town in a fifth-tier city for free that year, and the money received was exchanged for a one-bedroom house in Beijing's Third Ring Road, and the market price is like this, this is called a location, and the real estate transaction looks at the location, followed by the area. Cape Roquedel is a shop in a prime location, and you can make money selling everything. This is called investment vision.

The Baiyang Democratic Federation has exchanged this hot potato of the enclave, which has a very high holding cost and will be lost at any time, for things that are actually useful to itself, many of which cannot be bought by low- and medium-tech countries with money. Later, later, the Republic of Jeju, the successor of the White Ocean Federation, discovered oil in the waters around the two islands, and the reserves were extremely rich. This story tells us that if you can buy real estate, don't sell it, and you can experience it yourself! !

There is no doubt that it is a win-win deal. In mid-November, the nearby fleet of the Saxony-Windsor Empire, four Pluto-star pocket battlecruisers (small battlecruisers with high firepower) and four Galileo-class 305-gun cruisers (single-seat twin-gun heavy gunboats), arrived at Cape Roquedel. Since then, the White Ocean Democratic Federation has almost won.

。。

Two months later, at 7 a.m. on 20 December B95, Admiral Sami Hallor led the Tasman Imperial Navy fleet to the west of the harbor near Cape Roquedel, and then the fleet began to unexpectedly move offshore to the nearest coastline, until it was very close to the shoreline, close to the depth of grounding, and then turned along the coast towards Cape Roquedel Harbor. (The Imperial Navy fleet seems to be looking for cover with its back to the coast, so that sailing only needs to be aware of enemy forces on the sea side.) At 10 a.m., the Imperial Navy found a suitable landing site and quickly halted its advance to cover the infantry landing on troop carriers. The commander of the fleet, Admiral Sami Hallor, planned to first set up a landing base, and then advance by land and sea, with the fleet providing cover for the infantry, to take the port of Roquedel from the ground. This tactic completely bankrupted the White Ocean Navy's plan to use artillery and torpedo ambushes to annihilate the incoming enemy fleet.

On the morning of the same day, the reconnaissance planes scattered to the open sea still did not find the enemy, and the four Pluto-Wing Pocket Battlecruisers and four Galileo-class 305 heavy gun light cruisers from the Saxony-Windsor Empire seemed to be waiting in the ambush area for another day. The returnee Oba is a little anxious, the enemy should come, and according to the speed of the voyage, it will arrive today. No one expected that the Tasman Empire fleet was already close to the coast, quietly approaching the port of Cape Roquedel.

Two days earlier, the reinforcements of the White Ocean Democratic Federation had finally arrived at Cape Rockdel after a long journey, and the ship was being repaired in the harbor. At this time, the total number of warships of the White Ocean Federation participating in the war was: 2 Federation-class heavy cruisers, 9 Caiyun-class large cruisers, and 18 Nagara-type and Nagara modified medium cruisers (the Nagara modified cruiser has 8 610-mm torpedo tubes and 6 can fire 48 spear-type torpedoes at a time). Allied fleet of the White Ocean Federation: 6 Tejas class fast ultralight cruisers (similar to the "Fletcher" class), 4 Pluto-class pocket battlecruisers, 4 Galileo-class 305 heavy gun light cruisers. A total of 15 large ships and 28 small ships. Most of the ships went to sea to look for the enemy, and there were only 3 Caiyun-class large cruisers and 6 Nagara modified medium cruisers in the harbor, which was all the reinforcements sent by the White Ocean Federation.

At 13 o'clock in the afternoon of December 20, 95 B, the latest battleship of the Tasman Imperial Navy, the Great Khan (flagship), the Sun, broke away from the fleet, and six Borg-class light cruisers also followed the detachment from the landing cover fleet and headed for the port of Cape Rockdel at high speed. The commander of the fleet, Admiral Sami Hallor, improvised a surprise attack, which he risked for the sake of victory.

At 14:30, these warships of the Tasman Imperial Navy appeared outside the port of Cape Roquedel. At this time, the warships in the harbor have long been out of the cover of the heavy artillery of the shore-based batteries, and the light artillery in those temporary bunkers can no longer help the heavy warships, and the nine Baiyang Federation warships in the harbor can only save themselves, although the guard post on the mountain near the port found the incoming enemy ship in time, and the warships in the harbor urgently launched an unmooring rope and prepared to flee from the port, but the speed of the Tasman warship was beyond imagination and soon blocked in front of the port. The warships in the harbor can only fight to the death. At 14:31, both sides opened fire almost simultaneously......

The Great Khan, the Sun, and two battleships used their 280 mm guns to destroy all enemy targets in the harbor.

The first to be sunk was the Caiyun-class large cruiser Lanyue, which was the first to untie the cable, the first to launch a warship, and the first to fire.

At 14:31, the ship was moving out of the port, and a few kilometers away, two huge battleships appeared in the firing range, and the six doors 155 on the foredeck of the Lanyue opened fire with all their might, bombarding the Sun fiercely, and three consecutive salvos had direct hits, but unfortunately his guns had limited damage to targets such as battleships. The Lanyue quickly caught the attention of the Sun and the Great Khan, and the two ships turned their 280mm gun turrets, and the second salvo of both ships was aimed at the Lanyue. The Lanyue fired a fourth salvo, and the Sun caught fire. The two battleships fired a salvo, and the Lanyue was hit by a close-range shell, which immediately entered the water, and another shell passed through the superstructure. The Lanyue continued to bombard the Sun, but the Sun lost the opportunity to fire due to the inflexible turret, and when the eighth salvo was fired, the Lanyue accelerated and rushed out of the port.

At 14:33, the two Borg-class ships responsible for blockading the port, their guns had already been aimed at the port, and they fired a continuous salvo at the Lanyue, and the Lanyue was hit by 6 bullets in an instant, and the speed of the ship slowed down instantly.

At 14:34, the Great Khan seized the opportunity to launch a salvo, two 280-mm shells hit the Lanyue, one concentrated on the powder magazine under the foredeck turret, and the other hit the central boiler or bomb storage position, both explosion points were violent explosions, and the warship disappeared into the sea in less than a minute.

The other two Caiyun-class ships were unable to attack the enemy ships due to the blocking of the firing range, and tried to hope that they would not open fire and hide in the merchant berths to avoid a catastrophe, but they miscalculated.

The Great Khan and the Sun had no scruples, attacking indiscriminately regardless of merchant ships and warships. The two ships fired frequently in salvos, launching firepower covering all berths in the harbor, and the merchant ships in the harbor were hit by bullets, exploded and sank. At 14:48, a Nagara modification was hit by a shell, and the shell exploded and detonated the torpedo on the ship, and the warship was directly shattered, and also detonated a Nagara modification next to it (probably a torpedo flew out and hit). Explosions occurred one after another at the berths of the port, and pillars of fire followed. In the end, both Caiyun-class ships were also shot. A Caiyun-class bridge was shot, and the entire superstructure was blown to a large piece and burst into flames; Another Caiyun-class ship was hit by a near-arrow shell, and a large amount of water ingress caused the hull to tilt badly.

Seeing that it was impossible to get out of the port and was about to be finished, a Nagara modification of the Federal fleet aimed its torpedo launcher at the captured Tasman Empire Borg-class cruiser next to it. Another Bruno-class cruiser was being bombarded by another Nagara-class aiming waterline. Both warships successfully completed their missions before being shot.

4 Borg-class light cruisers were responsible for suppressing shore artillery. A total of 32 single-barreled 150mm L45 guns completely suppressed the shore-based guns in the makeshift bunkers, and the clock ticked, and before 15 o'clock, all the shore guns were knocked out.

At 15:05, two Borg-class ships boldly rushed into the harbor and fired torpedoes at the unsunken warship in the harbor. It felt like walking through a pile of dead people with a Mauser pistol and naming those who weren't dead.

At 15:30, some sailors of the two Borg-class ships landed on the shore and found that the White Ocean Federation Army on the shore had withdrawn

At 15:35, the commander of the Tasman Imperial Navy fleet landed and covered the fleet and the troop carriers immediately approached the port as fast as possible.

At 15:40, the commander of the fleet of the Tasman Imperial Navy ordered all ships, including the flagship, to organize sailors to enter the port and land for defense.

At 16:50, the commander of the Tasman Imperial Naval Fleet telegraphed the Emperor to the successful recapture of Cape Roquedel.

At 17:30, troop carriers and Bruno-class cruisers arrived in the waters outside the port, and troop carriers entered the port one after another.

At 17:35, the flagship and the Sun were shelled by warships. Judging from the situation of the water column, the enemy may be multiple battleships.

At 17:36, the 14 old battleships escorting the supply ship reported that they had been shelled, and the enemy was out of range and could not return fire.

At 17:37, nearby ships reported that a torpedo track had been spotted. A Bruno-class ship was torpedoed and soon sank.

At 17:38, the battleship Sun was hit by heavy artillery hit on the superstructure. The battleship was badly damaged.

At 17:39, the observation post stated that the enemy had 8 battleships. To the south of the fleet, the arc unfolded. Admiral Sami Halloll had a big head, "The enemy has 8 battleships, but there are only two on my side. ”

At 17:40, the commander of the Tasman Empire's best naval fleet, Admiral Sami Hallor, regretted that he had taken on such a task, and it was less than an hour before the telegram was sent, and it seemed that he was about to send a telegram of mourning. Admiral Sami Hallor realized that his recklessness and adventure had led the fleet into a terrible trap, and that perhaps it would have been a mistake to bring almost the entire nation's fleet here to fight, but neither he nor his country had any chance of correcting it. This irreparable strategic mistake was destined to trigger a series of major historical events in the Tasman Empire thereafter; Perhaps this is the historical necessity caused by the fortuitous events mentioned in the textbooks.

At 17:41, Admiral Sami Hallor ordered all ships of the fleet to break through to the east at maximum speed. Why to the east, because the 14 old ships in the west have also been attacked, there are definitely enemy warships there, leave these 14 old warships and supply ships to the enemy to eat, and your main fleet will be able to break through. Let's go out first, it's a big deal to go around the Karan Canal and go back to China. The idea is good, the problem is that he ignores a point, the speed of the enemy warship.

At 17:55, after learning that all the new ships of the Tasman Imperial Navy Fleet had fled eastward, the commander of the White Ocean Federation Fleet, "Long-legged Oba", who commanded the naval battle, ordered: The Tejli-class fast ultra-light cruiser and the Pluto-star pocket battlecruiser pursued the enemy's eastward fleeing fleet from the left and right flanks in parallel respectively, and opened fire when there was a chance to shoot during the pursuit. Two Federation-class heavy cruisers and two large Caiyun-class cruisers arc out and follow the enemy fleet. The rest of the ships, the 305 heavy gun cruisers and the Nagara-type cruisers, used long-range artillery bombardment and torpedo night attack tactics to take out the enemy's old battlefleet. The fleets keep informed of the direction of movement of enemy ships of friendly fleets.

。。

In the evening of the same day, two Federation-class heavy cruisers and two Caiyun-class large cruisers launched in an arc to follow the Tasman Empire fleet, and encountered wounded and straddled enemy ships, and decisively attacked and sank. The Pluto-star pocket battlecruisers continued to bombard the front, causing wounded and stragglers for the Tasman fleet. The fleet of refugees was also left behind due to mechanical problems, but the result was the same. On the other side of the fleeing fleet, the Tejour-class fast ultralight cruisers used naval guns to maintain the formation of the fleeing fleet, preventing them from running around casually.

In the summer solstice in the middle and high latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere, it will not be dark until close to 21 o'clock, and the next day dawn may be less than 4 o'clock. The U-shaped pursuit of the Federation and the Allied fleet of the Federation pestered the fleeing Tasman Empire naval fleet like a nightmare.

During the day's twilight escape, the Tasman fleet lost 6 cruisers. Three of the cruisers were damaged by close-range shells from 305-mm guns, the ships fell into the water and fell into the U-shaped bottom pocket and were sunk by the Federal fleet, and one was sunk by mechanical failure. Two other cruisers were hit by 305 shells and sank without help.

At 20 o'clock, it was almost dark, and the four battleships that had been firing sideways at the Tasman fleet ceased fire. At 21 o'clock, it was finally dark, and I could escape smoothly by taking advantage of the night. Where did the Tasman fleet know, their nightmare had just begun. In order to escape the pursuit, the fleet continued to sail at high speed at night. In order to avoid the collision of ships, it is necessary to sail at night, this light is not visible from a distance, even if it is lit, we trust you, we will lead us, you will shine the fleet out of danger and embark on the way home. (But it's a dream, a daydream in the night)

In addition to preventing collisions and guiding friendly ships, navigation lights can also make the outline of a warship appear very clear at a close enough distance. In other words, expose the target, give the enemy an indication of where to shoot. The navigation lights that guided the friendly ships attracted torpedoes that night.

At 23 o'clock in the evening, the Tejas class fast ultralight cruisers launched a torpedo night attack. The night torpedo attack lasted only 16 minutes before it was withdrawn, because the mission was completed.

The purpose of the torpedo night attack was to destroy the flagship of the Tasman fleet. The top lights of the masts of the two battleships were turned on at the stern, and the bow lights were on, and the towering masts and the hull of the ship were nearly 200 meters long, which was an obvious target for attack.

The torpedo attack was carried out in two rounds, and the flames of the first hit provided a rare target guidance for the second round of shooting.

The Great Khan was hit by one 533 torpedo, followed by two, and the Sun was hit by one and then three. Apparently, both ships were saved.

The fleet in the darkness was in chaos......

On the night of the 20th, in the coastal waters on the west side of the port of Cape Rockdel, a torpedo roll call was underway. Earlier, at dusk, the fleets of the two countries were engaged in a target shooting competition. These targets are very resistant to attack, after all, they are the first generation of dreadnoughts, with rough skin and thick flesh, and only the 305 can efficiently "open a big hole at once". Although the frequency and accuracy of the 155's shooting are high, the damage effect is obviously inferior to that of the 305. Towards sunset, the White Ocean Federation fleet launched a torpedo attack, and that night, another round of targeted torpedo attacks against the survivors was launched......

The next morning, the fleeing fleet lost its unified command, and the ships had already scattered and fled. The Great Khan, whose hull was heavily tilted, floated alone on the water, and the commander of the fleet, Admiral Sami Hallol, had long since disappeared. The person was declared missing, and the post-war investigation was inconclusive, either by drowning while abandoning ship or by suicide on a warship.

The 305 guns of the Pluto-star battlecruiser were again aimed at the battleship......

On the same day, the commander of the fleet, Admiral King, ordered the Federal Navy to disperse and attack, and under the search and guidance of carrier-based reconnaissance planes, searched for and destroyed the fleeing enemy ships, and sank two enemy cruisers. Three more enemy ships chose to surrender to the Union forces......

On 22 December, the Tasman Empire telegraphed to the Belarusian Democratic Federation that agreed to all the terms of the armistice.

The White Ocean Federation sent a telegram back agreeing to an armistice, but would not return its captured warships.

The Tasman Empire agreed. Thus ended the Roquedel War.

The losses of the Tasman Empire naval fleet in the Roquedel War were as follows:

Mesu-class battleships, a total of 7 ships, 7 sunk.

Die-class battleships, a total of 7 were built, 7 were sunk.

The great Khan-class battleships, now of four, have been sunk 4.

There are 12 Borg-class light cruisers, 8 sunk and 4 extant.

Bruno-class protective cruisers: 20 were purchased, 14 were sunk, 3 were captured by the enemy, and 1 is extant.

The Tasman Empire lost, badly. In the conference room of the Imperial Cabinet, Emperor Ashina Sabiha, who had finally lost the final battle, sat at the table, looking depressed, like a deflated ball, and the rest of the dignitaries were the same. After that, this frustration and disappointment will gradually become the norm, and the war at sea in a distant place will end, and the war on the ground in their country will soon begin.

In this battle, the Tasman Empire first despised the small country and then gambled on the fortunes of the country, and the end result was the loss of the strategic point of Cape Roquedel, and the huge imperial navy was almost completely wiped out.

The Tasman Empire, which was powerful in the past and is now backward but still huge, seems to have a national strength far stronger than the White Ocean Federation, but it is just a balloon. The Tasman Empire wanted to show its face and show the majesty of the empire again, but it did not expect to reveal the country's backward scientific and technological level and low military combat effectiveness. I was kicked hard, I almost couldn't get up, and I rushed over to fight back for the sake of face, but I was kicked again, and now I really, really can't get up.

The Tasman Empire is strong and powerful on the surface, but it is actually weak and down, the painting skin of the world's sixth largest power has been exposed by a small strong emerging country, although the "sixth largest power in the world" has since been more crazy to continue to maintain and expand armaments with limited financial resources and decorate the façade, but the dilapidated façade of this old empire can no longer bluff people, there were already people robbing his colonies, and the powers around the empire and other powers in the world are also ready to cook. The dignitaries of the powerful began to discuss the issue of a share of the cake, and the Tasman Empire, which was still alive in their plans, would be divided step by step.

The Roquedale War was the beginning of the end of the Tasman Empire. The merchants of the White Ocean Democratic Federation bravely brandished their long swords and punctured the giant balloon of the Tasman Empire. The people of all nationalities who were conquered, enslaved, and exploited by the Tasman Empire clearly saw that this oppressor who had always claimed to be an invincible empire that was powerful on the surface was just a balloon, no longer afraid, no longer weak, no longer obedient, they stood up, took up arms to resist, and before the armies of the various powers pressed the border, the smoke of resistance had already ignited within the Tasman Empire......

Overhead map overview: The Tasman Empire is similar to the map location of the historical Ottoman Turkish Turkey Turkey State, with its capital near Aswan, Egypt, and the main areas of the empire in the novel are temperate climates, suitable for human habitation, and have a population of 200 million. The guy who pit him was Prussia of Kaiser Wilhelm's family. Our country is roughly the role of Tsarist Russia, not so cold, the population is much larger. The Windsor Empire is also British and British, but the small island of the people is the size of the French Republic and has a large population. The Karan Canal is approximately equal to the Suez Canal. Cape Roquedel is the Cape of Good Hope

Spain, France, Italy, sorry, all sunk in the water. Sorry.
