Equipping "071", "052D" with large-caliber naval guns, and even vertically launching anti-ship missiles against wooden ships, is completely a cool move for the sake of coolness, and has no practical meaning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The 0.7-kilogram grenade may seem light, but when it hits the hard wooden shell of the "Fair Trial", it is a hole the size of a plastic basin, and often comes with fire and structural damage - with such a good effect, what more bicycle?

Regardless of how much money and resources will be wasted on the frenzied yard of sophisticated weapons such as enlarged caliber naval guns and vertical launch systems, the most important thing is the concession of valuable space, seaworthiness, speed and other indicators.

The guarantee of sea supremacy is not something that a "super warship" with powerful weapons can do -- unless it can achieve global coverage, and one ship can grasp the global situation and call for air strikes at will.

Under the premise that the side trying to control the sea is too strong and the ship units are scarce, the less powerful among them will try to attack only the merchant ships and civilian ships, and bypass the warships to avoid the important and destroy the sea control that seems to be in the hands of the victor.

So, regardless of the model, the liberation wheels are equipped with weapons sufficient to thwart any threat other than themselves. In the eyes of modern people, two quadruple 25mm anti-aircraft guns, although rudimentary, are the most balanced solution between sea supremacy and efficiency.

Not to mention the fact that the "Fair Trial" has lost its balance after the second round of anti-aircraft barrage lashing.

The second round of shelling was not only from the bow gun emplacements, but also from the stern gun emplacements. The dense projectiles not only hit the broadside structure, but even the deck was completely washed.

The entire ship was now almost silent for the sound of wailing. The crew who had just climbed to the deck for fear of fire in the ship was knocked to the ground by grenade fragments and secondary debris, and the wounded were even more untreated......

The mainmast snapped with a painful twisting sound, the first hitting the railing of the Fair Trial, the second unbiased hitting a lifeboat on the side that was sheltering survivors on the sea. The dinghy flashed in the middle of the waves and was never seen again.

Jolsesson, who witnessed this scene all the way, was anxious. What is happening on the Fair Trial now is probably about to befall me later. But he didn't want to retreat here, and he admitted defeat with peace of mind - God knows what awaits him when he returns to his home port empty-handed after sinking a new type of propulsion ship?

This cloud-shrouded sea area is almost an inescapable hell at this time. The lightning on the clouds swam along the canopy, and the wind hunted on the sea, full of the momentum of the mountain rain and the wind full of buildings.

On the sea, the Elder struck a full right rudder and quickly slid to the left front of Jorgeson's fleet - a standard T-shaped prefix, as Jorgesson put it: "In naval battles, the side with the superior speed has an irrefutable initiative in the choice of fighters." "At this time, it was perfectly fulfilled: the speed of the Elder had soared to twenty-five knots at this time, far exceeding the speed of the twelve knots of the Jolsesson fleet at full speed......

In all fairness, the new 1,000-ton propulsion ship on the side of the Double Moon Church is not insignificant. But brute force alone in the water does not fully achieve high speeds. Even though the Liberation is a temporary and low-cost ship, it is also a ship that has been tested in a tank model, and its resistance is so low that it is not known where it is......

The captain of the frigate USS Elder is not hard-hearted either. Seeing that the wooden boat at the head of the team had capsized in the water, and the bottom of the boat was facing the sky, he naturally had a trace of pity in his heart: he hoped that this group of poor bastards would know how many pounds and taels their enemies had, and quickly withdraw from the safe area set up by the escort ships under his command, and stop hitting stones with their own lives.

But looking at it in another direction, as long as they dare to move even one degree to the port side, the Elder will not hesitate to beat the other party into a hornet's nest. This is the bottom line that is not negotiable.

It's a pity that General Jolsesson made the most incorrect judgment at this time.

"The enemy ship is now moving south, so naturally we should cut into the wake of the enemy ship. The speed of the enemy ship is so fast, and the radius of turn must be amazingly large. With a light sketch on the paper with a drawing pen, Jolsesson gave the "optimal solution" according to the instructions of the textbook: "As long as we can close the distance between us and the enemy ships, then a counterattack is possible!" ”

The red-eyed Jolsesson naturally bet on the last bet and ordered the entire fleet to strike the rudder slightly to the left, preparing to cut into the wake of the Elder "just right". This move is naturally extremely subtle in the eyes of the ordinary crew on the Elder's side, and it is so subtle that it is impossible to see the action, but in the fire control system of the ship's guns with ranging instruments, the other party's actions of changing course and trying to close the distance can be described as clear.

"Continuous fire!" The captain, who had lost his patience, finally gave the order to die.

This order became the final word of the naval battle - the two guns opened fire alternately, and soon the "New Elta" in the second row was turned from the bow into a blazing torch.

At this point in the battle, General Jolsesson finally woke up like a dream. Although the distance is less than three nautical miles, these three nautical miles are like a waterless gutter, and it is impossible for anyone to pass through. The flames of the New Eltar illuminate half the sea, but only the future of him and the fleet is bleak.

After the New Eltar was heavily damaged, the rest of the ships were completely out of his control, and they scattered to port or starboard.

Jolsesson shuddered and tossed a gold coin with the double moon facing upwards - fortunately, he had made the right choice. Under his orders, three reasonably sane ships, led by the Wheel of Fortune, turned to starboard and withdrew from the battlefield, which was theoretically the right choice, but in fact......

It's not that the Elder didn't give the other party a chance, and that opportunity was the first and the last. The elder who opened the killing ring has no mercy. Less than an hour after the battle began, the entire Jolsesson fleet was reduced to wrecked sails and shattered planks on the sea.

The "epic victory" was also videotaped in its entirety, along with a number of high-resolution photographs for journalistic purposes. As soon as the photo of the seemingly mighty Twin Moon Church fleet burning in the sea fire was published, everyone who read the newspaper felt their blood boiling.

Everywhere in the Elta Empire, the originally tense interpersonal relationships were suddenly loosened. Newspapers, supplements, and rapidly issued commemorative postcards all quickly kept pace, amplifying the message of the gains of foreign wars almost infinitely.

On the next day, the "Bimonthly Church Reform Committee", which was led by the gods of the world and the former commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, officially moved from the backstage to the front in Mendong City. At the inaugural meeting to the public, the two graceful and noble gods of the world publicly announced that they would use the power of Chinese to change the status quo of the Bilunar Church - that the ruling machine full of lies, oppression, and deception must be overthrown, and the canon that blinded mankind must be replaced with the correct one......

The continuous big news, as well as the precise manipulation of public opinion, caused a small group of workers and a small group of nobles who had become more and more powerful in Sierta to be thrown to the island.

As soon as the news of this incident broke, even Perran's "Elta Workers' Union" began to start a "study class". Some of the workers who were naturally active and were classified as martial arts by Peilan simply ran to listen to special news programs on the radio with their partners about international relations and war dynamics every day, ignoring the pressure exerted by Peilan......

Naturally, Perrin didn't dare to press these workers too hard. Zhao Jiayin told him in another pamphlet that such an act would only lead to his own exposure - he should lead the workers into the halls of proletarian learning with the attitude of a proletarian pioneer of the revolution, instead of "pushing" people to force them to study like an oppressive bureaucrat of the old times.

Perrin thought so, but there was nothing he could do about it. Under the premise that the propaganda machine has "sufficient ammunition", he has no chance of defeating this monster at all.

Perrin and the remnants of the aristocratic forces can be considered the most extreme part of Cierta at the moment. This part of the "anti-thieves" is not immune to the influence of propaganda bombing, not to mention the general public who originally only had a slight dissatisfaction and indignation. People are forgetful, and it is true that - soon the little nobles and the workers will be able to line up to chat and wait to buy today's newspapers, and the clerks, who were originally mud-legged, will be able to forget their grievances against the old nobles and greet them as usual......

When Chen Heng first set foot on the land of Mendong City, the tense atmosphere here had been swept away. For him, it's no different from what you see in a textbook or a museum, a city in the 20th or 21st century.

"I don't think it's anything strange." Chen Heng, who relied on optical camouflage to disguise himself as an elf, walked to the second block and came to this conclusion after looking around. "It was really tense a few days ago, and I couldn't see a single figure in the whole city?"

"That's right." Ramahti, who came to pick him up, first withdrew his curious gaze with a gentle glare, and then replied softly, "Before the day we had a confrontation with the round table, there was a case of someone being shot to death, Mr. Chen, you know about it. ”

"So now, as I can see, the Chinese side has calmed down the situation?"

"That's right, but there are quite different opinions within the round table, believing that this is just ......a cover-up," Ramaherti bowed his head, "As for what the real situation is, we are unanimous in trusting that you can make the most accurate judgment." ”
