Chapter Eighty-Eight: One Step Next is Life
Since the end of the meeting, life in Scapa in Lorraine has once again returned to peace, in a sense, he has been given a lot of resources to carry out the preparation work, and many of the tasks that were originally the responsibility of the lord's subordinates are now piled up in front of him, and I really don't know what these city-states think. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As for military matters, Lorraine, as a foreigner, really didn't dare to start, even if there was a lord's support without sparing any effort, this was a matter of principle.
Since this is the case, it is natural to quietly replace the shadow thieves into the grassroots, and on the surface, the lord's son will be the leader, so there will not be too many worries, the only problem is that the bastard boy is always courteous to himself, which is simply Bilian.
Now Lorraine is most interested in Bale's factory, and a lot of the resources allocated from the council are thrown here, not only the Loria team has got new toys to start training, Vivien also needs to use conduction circuits for unmanned tactical command, in addition to the physique, energy and brains of young people who are better at training also have to come to train.
If you want to continue fighting after the defeat of the naval battle, of course, you can't expect to build ships now, even if you get old warships and armed merchant ships, it will be very uncomfortable without enough sailors.
In that case, let's try the Wizard Skinned Flying Team in the industrial age and test in advance whether the Air Force can exert a strong enough voice in naval warfare.
However, this training method is obviously the first of its kind, at least without the sage information, Lorraine has developed a training plan based on his experience in the magic mechanization, which looks pretty good.
In fact, this method was originally the way the sages trained the air force back then, but the original air force could get enough magic support from the plane to the pilot, and the training level and own qualifications were much stronger than these little guys that Lorraine took over.
If you look at it this way, the pilots here are all inferior and have to face the war if the flight time is less than a hundred hours, but fortunately, the air cavalry of the combined fleet has suffered serious losses, and at least the numerical superiority can be guaranteed in the next battle.
In addition to teaching the cadets this unusual method of training air force pilots, Lorraine also collected a group of magic apprentices who were not very skilled, and these people were divided into several groups according to their own magical interests, and became the first batch of magic technicians in the city-state...... Admit it.
However, without Mariana's help, Lorraine did not go well in the process of research and development, but fortunately, the brothers Bell and Wright, who opened their brains, were very useful, in all senses!
In particular, Vivien was brought in, which made the aircraft control smoother in conduction loop mode. In Vivian's mode, the plane no longer needs the pilot to join, so naturally there is no need to think about what load and protection, just a strong reinforcement of attack and defense and speed.
In this way, the production of fixed-wing aircraft has gradually become two routes, one is the manned version that the Loria team is using, which is suitable for humanoid races to pilot; The other is an unmanned version that requires conduction loop control, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than the previous one, but it is much less numerous.
With the Lord's material support, the number of Flyer II and Flyer III variants grew rapidly, and although it came at the cost of exhausting apprentices as magician workers, the mage faction in the city unanimously decided to ban Lorraine from visiting him because he insulted the prestige of magic.
Of course, Lorraine doesn't care about this reputation, now that he has the Holy Spa to heal his wounds, the canned Spam to feed his men, and enough fixed-wing planes (the kind with a lot of hidden dangers), what are he going to do next?
Of course, it is to transform an old ship into a deck ship large enough that fixed-wing aircraft can get an offshore platform, and in short, to create a magic version of an aircraft carrier.
The process is tortuous, the future is bright, if you want to overcome the many difficulties of the aircraft carrier in the Earth Age - just hand it over to magic, anyway, there are people to send materials or something, consumables and ships are also ready-made, as long as there are enough magic arrays and enough magic guide workers, everything is fine!
Looking at the deck ship in front of him, which was made up of two ships, Lorraine was a little happy to think that he had also succeeded in setting a precedent for naval history, although the lords and nobles around him turned pale, and the anger in his eyes was about to gush out.
"Miss Charlotte, are you sure of this...... Is it really a battleship? β
"Of course, this is a deck ship specially modified with fixed-wing fighters, and it will definitely surprise those incoming enemies."
ββ¦β¦ I've never seen a battleship like this, so let's believe it......"
Lorraine looked at the muttering lord with some unpleasantness, what does it mean to believe it!?
This is a magical version of an aircraft carrier! The offshore platform with the first generation of fixed-wing aircraft troops, although the number of aircraft carriers, the ability to resist wind and waves is weak, the speed is not fast enough and a series of shortcomings, but please believe that this is still a good aircraft carrier!
The nobles who exchanged words quickly did not speak, but looked at them with some kind of inexplicable expectation, coupled with the documents held in the hands of the lord, Lorraine inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable.
β¦β¦
"The whole ship is ready, the flight deck is normal! The magic furnace is normal! β
"This is the control room of the aircraft squadron, all staff are normal!"
"Your Excellency, Commander! The convoy is ready, and the flag has already been seen! β
The sound of busyness echoed in the deck ship commander's room, full of busy Scarpa soldiers, but sitting on the seat of the commander of this modern warship was a girl, and the adjutant next to her was a beautiful woman in a lady's suit.
"Your Excellency Commander Charlotte, the fleet is ready to sail."
"Well, Adjutant Vivien, orderβgo!"
"Yes! The whole fleet, let's go! β
After the seemingly dignified girl gave the order, she slumped into her seat like a deflated ball. Lorraine was driven to the shelves and took a group of newcomers to sea to look for the enemy, and by the way, to experiment with whether carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers could experience real combat......
Liar!
Make no mistake! This is a skin plane, even if it is strengthened with spells, it can reach the strength of World War I, which is quite a carrier-based aircraft? And an aircraft carrier or something, shouldn't it be carrying half of the traditional air cavalry? Why are all fixed-wing planes on board in the end, you nobles are ready to send me to death, right?
It's a pity that there is no point in complaining anymore, the Charlotte fleet is now the name of this fleet, consisting of three aircraft carriers, one spare, sixteen cruisers of the third rank and two battleships of the second rank, officially. (To be continued.) )
