Battleship Richelieu.

The first ship of the Richelieu-class battleship.

The traditional displacement of the Azure Star Ship Niang can be considered as 45,000 tons in the middle of the displacement tonnage.

The ship is 247.8 meters long and 33 meters wide, and is equipped with two quadruple 380 mm main guns and two triple 152 mm secondary guns.

The firepower configuration of the battleship Richelieu on paper was unremarkable.

But because of her high speed and high armor, plus the two quadruple main guns, all of which are front-loaded, she has more than written combat effectiveness.

In that era when big is a lot of beauty, the quadruple main gun is an artifact!

It's a pity that no country in history has been able to play this thing.

The quadruple main gun is also notoriously problematic king.

The Prince of Wales' quadruple main guns were in trouble at every turn, firing or being damaged.

Richelieu also relied on two quadruple guns to die...... The name of the Queen of Bombing was famous throughout the history of World War II.

Right.

Someone else's quadruple is just a dumb fire.

Richelieu's quadruple often explodes on its own to show you.

But it is such a bomb-bore queen who has been honored by the Admirals of the Navy for decades in Azure Star: the proof of the European Emperor!

The reason is that in the past, only the Imperial Palace had a Richelieu battleship mother.

There was once a rumor among the admirals of the Navy.

The Emperor has passed away.

Whoever gets Richelieu will be the next European crown!

However, a few years ago, a cadet of the navy in the academy took a blood test to build the certificate of the European emperor, and Richelieu caused a sensation.

Whoever gets Richelieu will be the next crown?

It's funny.

Who especially serves you a rookie weak chicken.

But this does not affect the noble status of the Richelieu ship.

Countless admirals have done everything they can to build this big sister with the tricolor flag in order to gamble, and Richelieu's fame is more significant than her real meaning.

Over the years, Richelieu has been fighting in the south and north for the European Imperial Palace, and rarely appears in the public eye.

Not many people know exactly where the tricolor girl is stationed.

The impression of the people of the Federation on her is only that when she is dressed up as a representative of the European Royal Palace on major festivals.

And Richelieu is not only the pursuit of all admirals.

At the same time, she should also be regarded as the first national star ship girl in the real sense.

is different from the rock sisters Alaska on Long Island, and it is not the same as the bouncing ship stars such as Naka or Aoba.

Richelieu's honour belongs to the people of the Federation.

Because she is the last ship lady built by Emperor Ou in her later years.

Moreover, after the construction of this girl wearing the tricolor flag, Emperor Ou supported the old twilight body to carry out the ancient knightly canonization ceremony for her, and lightly enshrined Richelieu's forehead.

It is not a special case for Emperor Ou to knight a ship lady who has made outstanding contributions.

It's not just the ship's mother.

In that year, His Majesty was also responsible for the canonization of the outstanding admirals of the Admiralty.

Richelieu is famous throughout the federation for a reason.

First, she was the last canonization of Emperor Ou.

The second is that Richelieu's canonization ceremony is of a very high standard.

Finally, there is another point, as a shortly after being built, she was given a high-level canonization and could not convince the public.

At that time, many people said that Emperor Ou was old and confused, and he would ignore everyone's opposition, and even the internal ship ladies of the Emperor Ou did not understand, and they must hold Richelieu to the high throne with a high standard.

In fact, in addition to the three reasons, there was another reason that the Union was ending a difficult war at the time.

The war ended.

The return of the hero also accompanies the end of the Heroic Spirit.

The badly wounded Dunkirk held his disintegrating body and presided over the entire ceremony for Richelieu.

After the ceremony, Dunkirk silently dissolved into nothingness, and soon after, the legendary crown of the European emperor also pulled the curtain on her life.

For many reasons, the tricolor Richelieu has become a federal star with infinite scenery, and has endured the pursuit and slander from the whole society, and in recent years, with the fading influence of the European Imperial Palace and Richelieu's rarely appearing, she has slowly faded out of the public's sight.

Koji was still embarrassed when he heard about Richelieu's past.

The world has only seen the scenery of Richelieu.

But few people have paid serious attention to the hardships behind the tricolor girl.

It's not that Richelieu doesn't have meritorious achievements, but it's true that her exploits are not conspicuous enough.

In the war between humans and the deep-sea fleet, the four major theaters of the Federation were losing and retreating, and they could barely hold the defensive line, and it was the multi-front command behind Richelieu, who was still "young" at the time, that won time for the later victory.

Because he was in charge of the rear command, Richelieu, who was supposed to go with Dunkirk, which can be called a blood connection, did not make the voyage.

As a result, the old-timer Dunkirk was under siege, and Richelieu was unable to return when he arrived.

Assuming that Richelieu was more timely at that time, there would not have been a Heroic Soul Liberation later.

In that battle, Richelieu was also hit by several bullets and was close to breaking down.

Scarred!

(Historically, Richelieu's blueprints are from an upgraded version of the Dunkirk class.) ）

Dunkirk is the first ship under the European crown!

It was also the secretary ship of the European Imperial Mansion at that time.

In other words, Dunkirk at that time was similar to the status of the spokesperson of the European crown.

His Majesty must hold a grand canonization ceremony for Richelieu, and in Koji's opinion, which old man in his twilight will leave a new guardian for the Ou Imperial Palace.

Obviously, the old man knew very well that the Ou Huangfu would eventually embark on a path that she didn't want to see after losing herself.

But she didn't expect that the Ou Imperial Mansion would go so fast after she left.

And Richelieu, who received the canonization, responsibility and gossip, has been guarding the Devil's Strait deep in the northern seas for the European Imperial Mansion for decades.

It can be said that Richelieu defended the Northern Theater for the European Imperial Palace, so that the European Imperial Palace could free up manpower to deal with the entire Federal Admiralty and maintain the growing power of the European Imperial Palace at that time.

And in the other direction, it can actually be said that it was because of Richelieu that the European Imperial Mansion made great strides on the wrong road, and when it reacted, it was already unable to turn back.

Richelieu is not a legendary shipwit.

But her contribution to the Ou Huangfu over the years far exceeds that of the legendary ship mother, and even the drawing of the big ship mother.

Because she has been in command in the rear for a long time, the Queen of Bombing rarely has the opportunity to go to the front line to experience the battlefield, so her level is far behind the ship girl in the same period.

It's been a long time since the Queen of Bombs has felt the sensation of a Bombardment.

It's kind of lonely.

Richelieu rarely leaves the Strait of the Devils.

This tricolor girl with a chivalric personality strictly adheres to her responsibilities.

They all originate from the knightly bloodline in the depths of the soul, and the knights of the rotten country pursue the inheritance orthodoxy equal to their status, while the knights of the tricolor flag pay more attention to responsibility and knightly virtues.

Richelieu didn't come back specifically to find any missing auction items for Avalon.

The Azure calendar enters October.

The annual "Holy Building Day" is getting closer and closer.

As the business card of the European Imperial Palace, every year Richelieu has to rush back from the front line to attend the event.

To put it nicely, it is called to pray for the blessings of the admirals on behalf of the deceased queen of the European Imperial Palace.

To put it bluntly......

The certificate of the European Emperor gave me Ou Qi~

Everyone went to pay their respects, and Richelieu might be able to leave Africa and join the European Union this year.

However, this year, because a certain admiral provided a large number of special artillery shell drawings for the European Imperial Palace, the battle in the Ghost Strait went more smoothly than in previous years, which made Richelieu, who had been busy all year, persuaded to return for vacation.

But the tricolor girl couldn't stay idle.

As soon as I returned to the European Imperial Palace, I didn't take a breath when I heard that the face of the Admiral of Avalon had been smeared.

Avalon's face is the face of the European Imperial Palace.

The Admiral is ......

The big sister of the battleship who glared at Liu Mei personally killed her.

Because of his decisive and swift actions, not many people knew that Richelieu had come to curse the sea.

Ellie also learned that the bishop's eldest sister was actually the official help of Avalon after inquiring about the external announcement department of the European Imperial Palace.

……

The vast sea.

Two steel battleships sparkle in the rising sun.

One big and one small.

The large hull is slender and powerful.

The small hull is small and slightly rounded.

They were the battleships Richelieu and the destroyers Vokland from the Imperial Palace.

Knowing that the originally scheduled confluence area of the European Imperial Palace Expeditionary Force was hindered and could not be reached, Richelieu took the initiative to leave the warm port to find Ellie after receiving a call from the European Imperial Palace.

The two sides saw each other near the agreed sea.

Andrea ...... Predecessor! "The first time I saw Avalon's Lori flagship ship girl, the knight girl in a three-color uniform almost didn't let the military salute go out of shape.

"Mmmm, Aili is Aili, just call someone Aili." Ellie's cute smiling face.

Ellie has met a lot of people on this expedition.

Richelieu was the only one who didn't mistake Ellie when they first met.

The little ship mother said: Happy and happy.

And Richelieu also called her senior.

You heard it.

Seniors.

Ellie's little mouth was almost grinning behind her ears.

Richelieu was the first time he had met the "legendary old-timer" of the Italian family.

It was also the first time that Ellie met Richelieu, the prestigious Confederation.

Long blonde hair.

Soft blue eyes.

The flower and the moon are delicate and sweet.

A neat uniform of red, white and blue adorned with golden ears of wheat.

Most of the other ship girls are short skirts, but Richelieu is an ingenious little white short ku to show off the slender **** beauty tui.

Stretched to the knees, the white stockings and the short ku, which are stretched to the knees, converge to create an infinite white greasy, like the smooth skin like warm nephrite that attracts the eye and tells the feeling of fitness.

The maiden wears a tricolor flag over her left shoulder.

And on the right side hangs an ornate naval command knife...... It was the sword that His Majesty personally handed over to Richelieu at the canonization ceremony that year.

Sunlight.

Jade and flowery.

Graceful and heroic.

Richelieu gives people a sense of maturity and stability like a big sister next door.

Invisibly, she brings courage and confidence to the people around her, and with her, it is not the worst time.

This is a wise leader who can render others with his own aura.

Different from the cold arrogance of the Prince of Wales.

It's not as strong as Veneto's.

Richelieu's temperament belongs to the kind of softness that warms your heart.

But under the softness, you can clearly feel her persistence and unyielding power.

"Richelieu, Ellie's Admiral's brother has written you a song after hearing about you."

Ellie, who is accustomed to taking gifts when they meet, began to show off again, and opened a video window in the ship's chat room, showing a hand-painted picture of a girl with a tricolor flag kneeling on one knee and accepting the knight's canonization.

The title of the song is "The First Dawn"!

Richelieu: The first dawn

Original song: Mirage

Lyrics: Thousand Grass Phantom Star

Dedicated to the Ten Rains.

The sun was shining and the wind had stopped making noise

I waited at the port, waiting for her to dock

Hard armor, huge naval guns

Pride carved into the blood

"Please help me," she exclaimed

Praise the second of the first encounter

The tricolor flutters quietly in the wind

He didn't use any passionate tone, only whispered

"Only by facing reality can you call yourself human," she pulled out her anchor

Set sail, the battle intent burns in the heart

I watched her go far away

The winner has been announced, and the game is over

The stars were reflected in her eyes, like the Milky Way

The sun was shining and the wind was still ringing in my ears

I waited at the port, waiting for her to dock

Surrounded by the hustle and bustle, the smell of gunpowder lingers

I have never regretted it in the slightest

The loneliness in the corner of her eyes was dissolved by the artillery fire

Time will remember the cellar

The scars on the ship's outfit are not insignificant

She didn't pay much attention to it, just smiled at me

"The world remains true and cruel," she pulls her anchor again

Set sail, the battle intent burns in the heart

I watched her cut off her self-imposed prison

The main gun is all front, Richelieu

Her name will be engraved in the annals of history, and the sky is desolate to the old

The battle horn sounded again from the seashore

She raised the flag and set out, her eyes full of pride

Where the sword was heading, the footsteps were firm and unwavering, slashing through the cannons

Returning, with glory draped over your shoulders

The eyes are clear, and the back is solid and reliable

She stepped on the starlight and hugged me

I bowed my head and kissed my hero, and the dawn dawned behind me
