And at the same time, unlike the land battlefield that temporarily fell into calm due to the influence of the seasonal climate, on a certain vast sea area in the south of this battlefield, the dense roar of artillery fire directly tore this peace to pieces!

Breaking through the waves on the sea, steel warships are moving quickly at a fast speed

The single-column formation quickly spread out, and on the side of the ship, the ship's guns constantly adjusted the direction of attack, and then fired in unison according to the order.

The dazzling firelight instantly became one, and in the continuous roar of artillery fire, the powerful artillery fire swept directly towards the enemy fleet on the sea in the distance!

There is no doubt that on this vast ocean, the two steel fleets of the enemy and the enemy have already met at this moment.

Almost at the moment of the first face-to-face, the commanders of the two fleets who were tasked with the surprise attack mission had already clearly realized that only one of their two fleets could leave, otherwise this surprise attack mission would definitely fail!

This situation is probably not expected by Luo Ji and Charlie Crumbel.

Almost at the same time as the war began, the two players sent their own naval fleets to try to circle around and surprise the enemy players' coastal cities.

And here, it has to be mentioned that the territory of the three Europa players, only Charlie Crumbel's territory is connected to the sea, in other words, he is the only one of the three players who has the power of the sea!

The Yangtze River Fleet, led by Yuan Xi, was obviously the first time it had encountered an opponent of the same level.

However, as a top-level admiral, Yuan Xi's face did not show much panic.

Are you kidding? In the Yangtze River Valley, he had even faced the Hydra, which was simply beyond common sense, and an ordinary steel fleet was not enough for him to mess around.

Yuan Xi, who was on top of the flagship, calmly gave orders.

The battleship's huge main guns of full caliber slowly rotated, and the battleships with the largest range and the strongest firepower on both sides were already engaged in a continuous exchange of fire.

Including the flagship Yangtze River, the number of battleships in the Yangtze River Fleet was eight, and obviously, after that, when the financial situation became stable, Luo Ji expanded his naval combat power in a wave.

But that time, he didn't stop building battleships in a frenzy, he only built three new battleships, and made up eight of them, feeling that the numbers were more auspicious, and then considering the possible future sea expeditions, he built six supply ships of sufficient size, which were specially used to transport supplies and supplies to the Yangtze River fleet.

Other than that, he's mostly building destroyers.

After all, compared with battleships, the current cost of destroyers and daily maintenance costs are much cheaper.

Moreover, after carrying torpedo weapons, the threat of destroyers in naval battles should not be underestimated, and they have a fairly good price-performance ratio.

Now look at Charlie Clumbel's steel fleet, the other party is undoubtedly implementing a typical big ship and giant artillery doctrine, after all, in this sea without aircraft carriers, battleships are the top units of naval warfare!

Although when he first began to develop his maritime combat power, he definitely did not have the manufacturing efficiency of 'dumplings' like Luo Ji, but after all, he has been developing for a longer time, considering the country's financial problems, even if he builds a battleship in five or six years, the number will definitely exceed that of the Yangtze River Fleet, reaching fourteen.

Other small and medium-sized warships aside, as a large battleship, this battleship is a money-burning thing after all, Charlie Crumbel's brain was hot, and he was quite frenzied to build a large number of battleships.

Among them, when the number of his battleships was the largest, it reached the level of thirty-one, not to mention the number of other small and medium-sized warships.

Then, he quickly discovered a problem, that is, it was useless for him to build so many battleships!

This side is different from the real world.

In the real world, those big powers on all continents are all crowded into one world, and that must be to ensure their naval combat strength, after all, this is an important deterrent, so the number and tonnage of warships are naturally crucial.

However, in this world, the player's country itself is the strongest, and there are basically no other maritime threats.

And when fighting other players, it's definitely the army units that are used more than the navy.

As a direct result, the huge fleet in the hands of Charlie Crumbel is rarely useful.

On weekdays, in addition to naval combat training, it is generally to dock in ports and docks to eat dust......

For this reason, every once in a while, he has to pay a maintenance fee that is so expensive that it will make people spit out a mouthful of old blood.

At the beginning, Charlie Crumbel naturally had a kind of 'self-built battleship, even if he cried, he had to maintain it to the end!' ' mentality, regularly paying huge maintenance costs until his country's first financial crisis erupted......

At that time, he was engaged in a wave of urban development, and he had to accept the fact that he was financially strapped and was already a little unable to continue to maintain this huge fleet.

It was then that he began to disassemble these 'gold-burning machines'.

After several financial problems, Charles Crumbel had only fourteen battleships left in his hands.

According to the Chancellor's calculations, this is a relatively safe figure for their current state of national finances.

After the start of this all-out war, Charlie Crumbel, who confirmed the surrounding situation, could be said to have surprised him when he learned that there was a large area of sea.

hurriedly pulled out his own sea fleet that only knew how to spend money, and I don't know how many years it had not been a serious job.

And made a sea surprise attack plan as his killer hole card!

When the time comes, his land army and sea fleet will attack at the same time, and he will not believe that he will not be able to kill this Celestial Empire player.

However, at this time, Charlie Crumber would definitely not have thought that his hole cards would collide with Luo Ji's Yangtze River fleet......

The exchange of fire at sea continued, and the enemy fleet, with fourteen battleships, was indeed superior in firepower to the Yangtze River Fleet, which had only eight battleships.

However, in naval warfare, it is not only who has more guns and more ferocious firepower, but also technology occupies a decisive factor.

As a five-star level top admiral, in addition to Yuan Xi's talent effect bonus of 'Navy Commander', the silver-level naval combat skills that Luo Ji matched him with were definitely not good-looking.

This battle is undoubtedly the time for him to make contributions and show his value!
