Chapter 35 High-speed passing



Almost all of them were looking at the northern sea, and although the four major armies along the coast of the Han Dynasty had established four fleets, people tacitly assumed that one fleet was at the same level as the four fleets.

Gangzi's Jimo fleet, the only fleet in the Han Dynasty with the identity of officers and soldiers, with the support of the Jimo Shipyard, under the prestige of Gangzi's previous victories, the Jimo fleet has faintly changed the situation of the Lingxiao Legion, and from the order of appearance of the Han fleet today, the Jimo fleet is obviously the existence of the finale.

Without waiting for a long time, the group of sloops of the Jimo fleet drove over. The high-speed battleship flying the Qingzhou Navy Qinglong sailing flag completely let go of its speed, and the already amazing speed of the speed-enhanced dhow was completely exploded in front of the high-speed sloop battleship.

In real combat, high-speed dhows also performed well. In the second East Asian naval war, the Jimo fleet put high-speed dhow battleships into the battlefield, one-on-one show battleships against high-speed dhows is the part of the ravaged, want to control the attack of high-speed dhows, Fuso fleet can only put double the sloop to confront it, and high-speed dhow battleships can be out of battle at any time. Importantly, the high speed gives them greater reconnaissance capabilities, and some speed captains can even drive high-speed warships through the Fuso fleet.

In terms of cost, high-speed sloops are modified ships, which are twice as expensive as sloops, and the factory speed is also twice as high. From this point of view ♀, high-speed dhow warships do not seem to have an advantage over sloops in terms of production, and opponents can produce sloops faster to defend against high-speed dhows. But a high-speed sloop employs one ship less sailors than two sloops, equips a ship with less equipment, and especially can save a ship's artillery, which is not something that a sloop can do with the full use of resources.

In fact, combat is not the duty of a dhow, its main job is to reconnoiter and obtain intelligence on the battlefield, and in terms of battlefield survivability, a dhow is no longer comparable with a high-speed sloop. The Fuso fleet never had a time when it broke through to the main ship group of the Northern Fleet with a sloop.

Not to mention the high-speed sloop, it is its low-end simplified version of the speed-enhanced sloop, which is also stronger than ordinary dhow in terms of cost performance.

Every captain who has used a speed-enhanced dhow can't put it down, and after getting used to that kind of high speed, it will be very uncomfortable to return to the dhow, and even some speed-loving brig captains ask to be transferred to a speed-enhanced dhow, and fantasize about what it is like to be a high-speed sloop?

In the Second East Asian Naval War, after the high-speed dhow was unveiled, the Jiuzhuo merchant group received a large number of orders for high-speed dhows. But Gangzi's answer was: "High-speed dhows will never be sold!" ”

He didn't look like the enemy would have a headache with his high-speed dhow that day, and he would have a headache with the enemy's high-speed dhow.

On the sea in front of the viewing platform. The formation of high-speed dhow ships sped along the coastline to the amazement of the spectators.

The brig group followed.

In the Jimo fleet, it can no longer be called a brig battleship, because Gangzi has replaced all the brig-class battleships of the Jimo fleet with Dahan five-class battleships (just produced).

After the blueprints of the Dahan fifth-class battleship were recognized as general-purpose battleship drawings, they began to appear occasionally in the hands of players, and the nickname of "one shot sinks" gradually became louder. But this is Dahan's first hard-sailed battleship, and even if it is flawed, it can't change the love that Dahan players love for it.

"What's wrong with not being able to fire a salvo, I like to shoot one shot at a time."

As a result, the Dahan Class 5 battleships began to enter the fleet of Dahan players, but the players soon discovered that the disadvantage of the burst fire was the vibration caused by the recoil when the gun was fired.

The hull shake caused by a salvo of naval guns will slowly level off during gun reloading, but bursts will not be the same. Perhaps the recoil of a single gun is not large, but a fire fired at too short intervals will keep the hull in the vibration of the gun's recoil. At first, the accuracy of this shaking on the artillery was not obvious, but the artillery kept pushing the shaking hull, and the shaking amplitude would become larger and larger. In the end, it will not only cause a big loss of the crosshair, but also cause major damage to the hull.

As a result, the Dahan fifth-level battleship, which is recognized by the system, has become a very embarrassing existence, and Dahan players will not put a battleship that cannot be used for combat into naval battles for the sake of face. As a result, the already small number of Dahan fifth-class battleships were dismantled and put into the escort of the caravan as military ships.

It is generally accepted that the Han 5-class warships do not possess the strength of naval warfare, but the Jimo fleet has already sent 40 Dahan 5-class warships to participate in the military parade for the establishment of the ASEAN Association this time. It can't help but make people wonder.

Watching the formation of Jimo Dahan five-class warships pass through the sea area in front of the viewing platform in four columns, for the audience who have seen a lot of soft sailing ships, the hard sail battleships with a strong oriental charm are indeed eye-catching, but ......

"How could Gangzi of the Han Kingdom equip his fleet with this kind of warship, although the structure of the Han five-level battleship has greatly improved the survivability, but there are great flaws in firepower, in terms of Gangzi's fighting style, he admires firepower, but it is really difficult for him to equip this kind of battleship."

The Dahan entourage on the side explained: "This should not be a Dahan fifth-class battleship, it is the Qingzhou Navy that has made a transformation on the basis of the Dahan five-class battleship, removing the watertight compartment and adding ribs, so that the hull can withstand the salvo of artillery." ”

"Qingzhou fifth-class battleship?"

"Yes, this kind of general-purpose battleship has just been recognized, the drawings are still very rare, we have such a white shark fleet, Qingzhou five-class battleship in comprehensive combat effectiveness and the same as the two-masted battleship, although the removal of the watertight warehouse is regrettable, but everything can not be both, after our test, Qingzhou five-level battleship is more suitable for combat than the Han five-level battleship, now the Han navy is equipped with a large number of Qingzhou five-level battleships, Qingzhou five-level battleship is developed by Qingzhou, As the officers and men of Qingzhou, the Jimo Fleet will definitely give priority to this kind of warship. ”

"I see...... The Qingzhou fifth-level battleships are very good-looking, especially equipped with our hard sails with East Asian characteristics, and my fleet also wants to equip some Qingzhou fifth-level battleships, I wonder if the White Shark Legion can help sigh at the tone of the Gangzi Admiral. ”

The players and bosses who were not big men on the side listened to their conversations with their ears, and when they heard the news about the sale of Qingzhou fifth-level battleships, they expressed their thoughts on the purchase of Qingzhou fifth-level battleships**.

"I can only say I'm sorry for this matter, my White Shark Fleet and Archangel Fleet can't buy this kind of warship, even the Lingxiao Fleet can't buy it, the King of Qingzhou strictly ordered that the Qingzhou Level 5 Battleship is not allowed to be sold to players, and we can't do anything about it."

The Jimo fleet is still nominally subordinate to the Lingxiao fleet, and the Lingxiao fleet, as its own family, can't buy Qingzhou fifth-level battleships, let alone others, and the bigwigs have shown disappointment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressing, the reception staff of the White Shark Fleet hurriedly said: "If you can't buy a Qingzhou fifth-level battleship, you don't have to be disappointed, after the parade is over, we will conduct a business negotiation session, and our Dahan businessmen will show you some specialties and resources in the hands of our Dahan players, and the location is in Jiuzhuo County, the headquarters of the Hangzhou Jiuzhuo Business Group." The ASEAN Association was established, everyone is an ally, and the brig battleships of the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group will also be open for sale to allies, you can discuss the purchase of the brig with the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, the Qingzhou five-level battleship is almost the same as the brig. ”

See...... On the first day of joining the ASEAN, the benefits came, and the bigwigs looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

For most organizations and individuals, there is nowhere to buy brigs, even if they have money. The only known to have sold a large number of brigs in the whole of Asia is the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group, and the source of the battleship must be Gangzi, who is one of the shareholders. In the past, the Han Dynasty made enemies on all sides, and even if the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group sold the speed-enhanced dhow battleship to the enemy's Fusang fleet, it did not open the sale of the brig to foreign players. Moreover, in order to prevent the brigs from flowing abroad through the hands of the Han players, the brigs of the Jiuzhuo Merchant Regiment, even the Han itself, only the four fleets in the name of the legion can take the battleships.

Now that the dust has settled on the situation in East Asia and the ASEAN led by the Han Dynasty has been established, the Jiuzhuo merchant group for the purpose of making money will no longer hold on to the brig warship.

The receptionist of the White Shark Legion was very happy that he could calmly control the situation, and he continued: "Of course, we also have a small requirement for the sale of brigs, that is, you can only buy the brig for your own use, and are not allowed to change hands, we will register every brig for export, I hope you can abide by this regulation, we don't want to see our own brig in the hands of the enemy one day." ”

Everyone nodded yes, one by one they promised not to resell the brigs of the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group, "All the brigs we use are bought from the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group, and we sell the warships in our hands now and the warships obtained from various channels in the future, it should not violate the regulations!" ”

Of course, the receptionist of the White Shark Legion couldn't look down on the little Jiujiu in the hearts of these people, looking at these bigwigs in front of him, which one of them was not a well-known figure in his country, and now he nodded to himself, so that the receptionist's self-esteem was greatly satisfied: "At the same time, artillery is also the dominant industry of the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group, I secretly tell you that the 16-pound iron smoothbore gun used by the three-masted battleship can also be ordered from them, this kind of artillery NPC Navy will not be sold at all, and there is only one on the market that can be ordered in large quantities. If you buy a 16-pounder gun, even if you don't have a three-masted battleship, installing it on a territorial battery or establishing an artillery position can increase the defense of the territory by a level, and the territory on the east coast of Fuso will not be beaten so badly if it is equipped with a 16-pounder iron smoothbore gun.
