"So fast!"

Admiral Matt and Miller both changed their faces in an instant, the other party's "torpedo" was so fast, at least twice as fast as the torpedo currently used in the West, that is to say, the speed of this torpedo was as high as fifty or sixty knots per hour.

Although Admiral Matt was surprised, he was still very calm in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Avoid! At the same time, he shouted to the staff officer, "The main gun is aimed!" ”

No matter how fast the other side's torpedoes are, what can they do? Launched from ten kilometers away, even at a speed of a hundred knots, they are fully capable of avoiding it.

Sure enough, as the warship turned, it quickly deviated from the direction of attack of the opposing "torpedoes".

The turret of the 382-caliber cannon of the "War Weathiness" Queen Elizabeth-class battleship slowly rotated in the cheering order, and the sound of mechanical rotation sounded to Admiral Matt more beautiful than the most beautiful violin music, and he was fully convinced that as long as such a huge cannon hit, even if it could not smash the opponent's warship, it would definitely be able to deal heavy damage.

Miller, however, cried out in horror: "Look, Commander! ”

Matt was surprised, and his eyes followed Miller's pointing, only to see that the other party's "torpedo" actually turned, and it was coming towards the "War Weyer". He thought that he had seen it wrong, and when he looked closely, it was not only this one "torpedo" like this, but almost every one of the six "torpedoes" of the other side was aimed at a capital ship, and they all turned to pursue.

Admiral Matt's mind went blank for a moment. What's the case? A "torpedo" that will track the attack?

Miller's inner horror can no longer be described in words, the Chinese have such a torpedo, then how can the naval battle be fought? There's no way around it. That's not a torpedo, a warship? No number of warships are enough for the other side to destroy.

Admiral Matt was already roaring like a mad dog: "Damn it, all the artillery, kill that damn torpedo for me!" ”

However, it was already too slow, and the torpedo should have quickly reached a distance of less than a kilometer, and the torpedo was sailing underwater, and the anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns that could quickly turn the attack and shoot flat fire, making the surface of the water splash, but they could not destroy the torpedo two or three meters underwater

The "boom" exploded violently, and the entire battleship "War-Wey" seemed to jump up by one meter, and the violent explosion in the side-rotating position rose up to the sky. It was as if the entire battleship had been submerged. Admiral Matt and Miller were thrown out in a huge tremor.

The atmosphere in the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense was also extremely tense.

Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng and Yang Yongtai were almost restless, but Li Bufan and Li Huashan were relatively calm, and only the Wu enemy, who had come to wait for the results of this sea battle, was still heartless. It's lighthearted.

Duan Qirui became more and more unhappy when he looked at Wu Di. couldn't help but say: "Wu Enemy Army." Aren't you worried at all? ”

Wu Di laughed and said, "What are you worried about? Unless the foreign devils take shit luck, we will win this battle, our killer weapon. That's not a cover. ”

Xu Shuzheng frowned and said, "What is the killer feature that makes you so confident." ”

Wu Di looked at Li Bufan, it was inconvenient for him to say this top secret.

Li Bufan thought for a while and said, "It's okay to say it now." Our killer weapon is a rocket-booster radio-controlled torpedo. ”

"Rocket boost?"

"Radio-controlled torpedoes?"

Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng, and Yang Yongtai all widened their eyes, this name is so long, and they have definitely never heard of it.

Li Bufan nodded and said, "That's right." In fact, there are already experiments in the West with radio-controlled machinery, and just this year, the United States used radio-remote control of a ship to simply sail through the air. Our torpedo used the same principle, radio-steering it to sail and even turn to pursuit. The purpose of rocket boosting is to speed up the torpedo and catch the opponent off guard. ”

Xu Shuzheng's eyes widened and said, "This." Listen to what you say, then this torpedo is not a hundred shots? Did you say it earlier, but it made us nervous for so long? ”

Wu Di rolled his eyes and said, "You think it's so simple." It's high-tech, you know? Originally, such an effective remote control was a few hundred meters at most in the West. In order to increase the control distance to about ten kilometers, we had to install a lot of electronic components on the torpedo, and at the same time, the warship also installed powerful sensing equipment to increase the power, and some coincidental inventions, so we barely succeeded. Such a torpedo costs 300,000, and the other auxiliary control equipment adds up, it will cost millions. In fact, he secretly said to himself: I, I can't buy it with money, and the torpedo radio control must reach this level, and the normal development will give Lao Tzu a few decades of development.

In fact, it is impossible to achieve this in a few decades, because modern warships in later generations will have missile attacks, and it is impossible to set aside a room of high-power control equipment for the purpose of launching radio-controlled torpedoes. So this technology has completely become a chicken rib after a few decades, but in this era, it is definitely a killer feature.

What is the strategy of Li Bufan and Wu Enemy planning to fight with the West? It is to fight for casualties and consumption. There is only one way for the great powers to pay huge casualties, and that is to put the main battlefield on land and have a large-scale land duel. Once the sea becomes the main battlefield, it is absolutely a tragedy for China, China's manufacturing industry is backward, machinery manufacturing technical workers can not be trained on a large scale in a short period of time, with China's shipbuilding industry, unless you get a red police shipbuilding base such a golden finger, otherwise even a fraction of the other party can not compare, what to take with the other people's navy? And most importantly, how many people can be lost in naval firefights? As for the Battle of Jutland, the losses of the British and Germans were only a few thousand.

Therefore, if you want to force the opponent's army to face off, the only way to do this is to take the technical route in the navy and make some super-era technology to make the opponent's navy fearful. Li Bufan, Wu Di and cloning experts racked their brains to come up with two methods: 1. Dominate the sea with air; 2. It is this radio-controlled torpedo that is in later generations, and some electronic equipment can be manufactured with current materials, at most it is a huge volume of electron tubes.

As a result, there was this "rocket-boosted radio-controlled torpedo", and at that time, I originally wanted to make a torpedo that could be controlled outside the range of the capital ship, but the equipment requirements were too high. It's almost the size of a boat, so I can only give up and get a control distance of more than ten kilometers.

China dispatched bomber groups of strategic air divisions to feint, all to cover the approach of the equipped Jiangsu-class pocket battleships to the combined British and French fleets in order to launch a lethal strike. Of course, the danger is not impossible, if the main guns of the main ship of the opposing side destroy three warships in a salvo during this period, or destroy the remote control equipment on the warship, it will fail. And this torpedo is not invincible, it is also possible to evade, and even if the opposing commander is ruthless enough, it is completely possible to let the small warship collide and detonate. Or destroyed by intensive shelling.

This time. In order to catch the other party off guard, so that the other side will be shocked within a certain period of time, and wait for the completion of the three super battleships and aircraft carriers at China's Sanduao Naval Base, plus the repaired warships. Then there is really a fighting power at sea.

Duan Qirui passed the understanding. Nodding his head, he said, "If we take out the combined Anglo-French fleet again." I think the navies of the great powers did not dare to be arrogant for a short time. ”

Yang Yongtai nodded and said, "Yes, I can't afford to lose." A capital ship costs tens of millions. Anyway, if this battle goes well. Then the main forces of the British and French navies will also be basically depleted. ”

Li Bufan smiled cruelly: "That's what I want." ”――

"Boom" was separated by less than ten minutes, and another round of super-torpedoes was launched.

The Anglo-French combined fleet was completely in chaos, and the strange torpedoes launched by the Chinese side, in just one round of attacks, severely damaged the five strongest battleships and one battle cruiser of the combined fleet, especially the battle cruiser with slightly weaker defense, and the keel broke into two pieces in the violent explosion on the spot, and quickly sank. The other five battleships spin sideways, starting from their underwater positions, were blown out of a huge gap of several tens of meters, and good water rushed in, and it was only a matter of time before they sank.

The fire-breathing torpedoes of the Chinese side attacked again, and all the warships panicked and could not come up with effective means of countering them in a short time.

"Boom" a series of violent explosions, the remaining three battle cruisers and three 10,000-ton armored heavy cruisers were destroyed in the violent explosion, one of the heavy cruisers was detonated ammunition depot, and the violent explosion was like a small nuclear bomb attack.

Li Haijun and Sa Zhenbing laughed relatively proudly on the flagship Jiangsu.

Sa Zhenbing said in ecstasy: "Great, we have won this battle." ”

Li Haijun said in a deep voice: "Now if we attack again and destroy the opponent's 10,000-ton giant ships, then order the fleet to attack in an all-out way, and let the second fleet composed of old warships in the back also join the attack." ”

"Yes!" Sa Zhenbing responded loudly, immediately issued an order, and then sighed and said, "Commander, if we choose to launch an attack in the morning, we may be able to annihilate more warships of the other side." But it was dark on the horse, and the opposing warship could escape in the darkness of night and could not pursue. ”

Li Haijun shook his head and said, "What I want is for the other party to run." Most of our naval officers and men are quick to become successful, and the real naval combat capability cannot be compared with the quality of the British and French naval officers and men, and if the other side really fights with iron heart, I am afraid that our navy will also suffer heavy losses. ”

Sa Zhenbing sneered: "It's a pity that the commander is thoughtful." ”

Li Haijun said lightly: "It's no pity. Their warships can run away, but can their troop carriers still fly into the sky? By killing or capturing the opposing troop carriers and preventing the opposing army's reinforcements, we have achieved our strategic objectives. It's all about the big picture! ”

"Commander Takami!" Sa Zhenbing was convinced at this moment. Even if there are a small number of dedicated high-speed troop carriers in the navies of various countries, there are at most a few of them, and they can send 10,000 or 20,000 troops to the top at one time, where is it possible to use this kind of high-grade cargo for the transportation of 300,000 troops at one time?

"Boom" Another round of "rocket-boosted radio-controlled torpedoes" was launched, and the fleets behind had already begun to come up, and the poignant horn of attack sounded for a long time (to be continued......

PS: The radio-guided torpedo of the modern Navy is actually only one or two kilometers, in fact, it is not impossible to control it remotely at a distance, the equipment required is too large, it makes no sense, it is better to use missiles.
