Chapter Seventy-Seven: Untitled
The Hood was filled with merry air. The commander of the formation, Vice Admiral Holland, is an old navyman, and the captain of the ship, Colonel Cole, is an old partner with him.
Although the news of the departure of the German warships from the military port had already been confirmed, there was still a lot of time before the two sides could engage the enemy.
At this time, the surface battle is different from the fast pace of the army and air force, and it is a relatively long process to find the enemy on the sea and engage the enemy, and the general rhythm is to eat a beautiful breakfast in the morning, and perhaps see the enemy until the afternoon.
This is also one of the reasons why the army horse manure on the IJN side feels that the navy red deer has a petty bourgeois sentiment, but it does not have the blood of the soldiers, and it is just a waste of the country.
The master of the book study is very good at home, and even the aristocratic style of the navy has been learned thoroughly, which naturally makes the second-class horse manure feel uncomfortable all over the body.
And it's okay on his own side, the big fleet is like Dior, and the whole army is used to it.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is still at peace, and when the war starts, let the Prince of Wales drag it to the rear." Lieutenant General Holland pinched his pipe and said to Cole a little helplessly.
"That's a new ship that has just been launched in the Empire, and the triple 15-inch guns are also more powerful than the George V's firepower, so she should be the first to attack the line of Bismarck and Tirpitz, not to mention that she can run at a super high speed of 41 knots? Dragged in the end, it can't play the speed of the Prince of Wales at all! ”
Colonel Cole was stunned, as the flagship captain, he naturally had the right to make suggestions to the formation commander.
It's not that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, the tradition of HMS seeing the enemy and fighting is engraved in his blood, since the Hood is the flagship, of course, he must fight bravely, and the soldier's desire for honor and military achievements is endless.
Vice Admiral Holland tapped his pipe, letting the burning ash fall, and he smiled and said to Colonel Cole, "You know, Cole, my friend, this is not an order from Vice Admiral Royal, but a father's request, as far as he can, to try to keep the little princess of the House of Windsor from taking risks. ”
"That's why we don't allow women to come on board, and if it's a prince, His Majesty will never say anything unreasonable to you, alas!" Colonel Cole felt powerless, and even more so unworthy of his old colleague Richie, the captain of the Prince of Wales.
Originally, he became the captain of the latest warship, and it was a good time to make a contribution and show his talents, and now what is this called!
Even if you are a royal princess who claims to be a genius and likes to play military games, in your castle, just find some beautiful boys to play to your heart's content, and don't come to the army to scourge!
This year's royal family can't do it!
That's right, since the outbreak of the king's eldest brother, the former king loves the country and does not love the beauty, it can be said to be the biggest crisis of the royal family in this century.
If it weren't for the fact that King George was much more reliable than his brother, he would have brought back some of the prestige of the royal family, and maybe someone was already brushing slogans like royal abdication.
Now, the outbreak of the Great War, and the fact that we are united with our efforts to the outside world has eliminated a lot of the crisis of the royal family.
So the opposite head of state saved the royal family of our country?
Colonel Cole couldn't help but snicker when he thought of this, this is too ...... It's a big rebellion!
And what is the princess doing in their mouths?
Do your homework!
The battleship had a seaplane, which was originally used for reconnaissance by the younger brother, and it had no combat effectiveness.
Shen Lang's current wish power is quite abundant, and he secretly opened the light for the two seaplanes.
Hawker "Sea Fury", the last piston fighter developed by Da Yu in the late stage of World War II, is equipped with four 20mm cannons, can carry 2,000 pounds of bombs, has a speed of up to 740 kilometers per hour, an altitude of 11,000 meters, and a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
Miss Qu Yun sat in the bubble-shaped cockpit, controlling the instrument a little rustily.
As Shen Lang's entourage, the role she can play in this world has also been "developed" by Shen Lang.
As an innate grandmaster, Qu Yun can be said to have stood at the highest point of human physical fitness, the development of the brain is far beyond ordinary people, and with Shen Lang's cheating, she quickly mastered the Hawke-style manipulation method.
Then the officers on board the Prince were astonished to find that the Princess's lady-in-waiting, Miss Claudia, had dismissed the pilot, and that the new plane was flying in the sky like a sharp lark, and when it struck it like a falcon, it was graceful and infinitely murderous.
As for the new aircraft...... Is there anything wrong with the new weapons that Her Royal Highness has contacted herself?
And since Shen Lang has opened the hanging, he naturally wants to open it to the end, he combined the Hawk style with the P-51 ultimate model of the American imperialists, so he has this bubble cockpit, with a ceiling of more than 15,000 meters, a range of 3,000 kilometers, and a monster with 4 20MM cannons and six 12.7 machine guns.
The most important thing is that because of the black technology of the shipman, as long as the ammunition of this thing is over the battleship, it is unlimited.
If it is a long distance, it is far more than the bomb load of a normal aircraft.
It's a pity that Shen Lang only has one entourage, Miss Qu Yun drives one, and the other one is used as a spare plane, and the pilots of the navy don't dare to let him touch it......
The English Channel is not very large, and later generations often challenged to swim across the channel.
It has now become a lively killing ground and an escape route for the British and French forces.
Goering's BF-109 and Stuka took turns attacking the beach positions in Dunkirk, and the Spitfire and Mercedes 109s were flying and circling in a circle.
Stuka broke through the Spitfire's interception, dropping bombs at the Allied forces waiting to board the ship with a screeching sound.
Because the sand of the beach was so soft, the power of the bomb explosion was greatly reduced, which made the air marshal's boast that the air force alone could wipe out the Allied Haikou, a joke.
However, the threat of aircraft is still real, and there are constantly ships that are strafed or directly hit by bombs, and the pilots of the Führer's family are no worse than anyone else's elite, and the only missing aircraft carrier is said to be replenished.
"Qu Yun, you're too close to the battlefield!" The Prince of Wales was already equipped with early radars, and although it was not very effective and often had problems, it did solve the difference between having and not having it.
Shen Lang opened the light with his wish...... Or rather, he can "see" far away, and now his sister Qu Yun is driving the Hawk with the ship, and the plane's field of vision has directly become his own field of vision, and he even saw the Dunkirk battlefield directly from a distance of one or two hundred kilometers.
"Didn't I tell you to scout the east, why did you run to the west!" Shen Lang talked to Qu Yun with a headache.
If the home fleet wants to intercept the Bismarck sisters, it is natural to prevent the Germans from breaking through from east to west, but now Qu Yun ran to Dunkirk because of his curiosity, which really made him very speechless.
If this were in the army, she could already be court-martialed!
"When you come back, you look good!"
"Hehe!"
