009 Musashi debut
The appearance of Musashi added a lot to the whole competition. Although the admirals know that with the emergence www.biquge.info of such a powerful ship, the possibility of winning the championship may be much reduced, but while envying Roy, the European admiral, they are also very happy.
Musashi was in charge, so that the combat effectiveness of the entire League of Nations Navy has been considerably improved. In the brutal war with the deep-sea habitat ship, it is definitely a great thing to have such a powerful ship to help.
The common interests of human civilization override individual gains and losses, this is the consensus of the admirals.
It's just that not all admirals have such a mind.
At least one person went crazy with anger because of Musashi's appearance.
"Damn, how did that waste get Musashi!" Rudolph gritted his teeth, his hands clenched, his muscles flare, and the fire of jealousy completely filled his chest.
"Everyone else envies me for having the Scharnhorst sisters, but they don't know that what I really want is at least an advanced battleship as powerful as the Bismarck-class. I have a proud talent, a noble bloodline, and the strong support of my family, why am I still not as good as a waste in the end! ”
Rudolph's hatred for Roy grows deeper.
Soon, though, his mood lightened up again: "The other fools have been dumbfounded by Musashi's appearance. They didn't want to think about it, Musashi was very likely to be appointed on the Holy Founding Day more than ten days ago, and the cultivation level was definitely not high at this time. Roy, the waste, let Musashi come to participate in the artillery competition, and he can only bring shame on himself. What I have to do is win the gamble and make that waste lose so much that I can't pass the annual assessment. When the time came, he was swept away by the Admiralty, and his shipwrecks could only be reassigned. If I ask the family to go to the military headquarters in advance, I will have a great chance of getting Musashi! ”
After the entrance ceremony, the competition officially began.
This artillery competition is a point system, in each subject, the first place gets ten points, the second place gets six points, the third place gets four points, the fourth place gets three points, and so on, and you can't get a point after the sixth place.
At the end of all subjects, the first overall score is the champion. The top six in the total score will qualify for the finals.
The first project was small-caliber naval guns at close range rapid-fire.
Cong Yun came out and won the first place, winning a good start for Roy.
Congyun is the most sophisticated destroyer in the entire Palau Anchorage, and is no longer equipped with the old 12.7 cm cannon gun, but a 10 cm gun newly built by Roy and upgraded with fire control. The rate of fire, firepower, and accuracy have all increased considerably.
The second place was won by the destroyer Anshan under the command of Zhou Hao, a fellow countryman of Roy, and the third place was won by the battle cruiser Gneisenau under Rudolph with a 150-mm secondary gun.
The next item is the firing of medium-caliber naval guns in the same air combat movement.
Rudolph's Light Cruiser Königsberg won the championship, while Loy's Nodai finished fourth.
While the audience was cheering for Miss Königsberg's superb gunnery, there was a white-haired old man on the luxury pleasure boat, but he was focused on Nodai's ship.
"Professor Giovanni, pay attention to the impact. Although Miss Nodai is beautiful and in good shape, you can't stare at others. The female assistant with rimless glasses whispered.
The old man blew his beard and said angrily: "Stinky girl, am I that kind of person?" You don't have much experience, you don't see the clues. But I have long found out that Major Roy's two ship girls, Cong Yun and Noyo, their ship outfits have been wonderfully modified! ”
Professor Giovanni is a veteran of the General Directorate of Naval Research and a leading figure in the development of the ship's equipment. Hearing him say this, the female assistant also noticed the main gun installed on the Neng ship.
"Hey, is that a 15.2 cm cannon? Why does it look a little different? ”
Professor Giovanni explained: "Judging from the fact that she was just able to enter the sea, her posture on the surface of the sea is still a little rusty. This shows that she has not been in office for a long time, and her training is not high. The 15.2 cm serial gun was modified from the battleship's old 15.2 cm single-mounted secondary gun, and its performance was extremely mediocre. The low-level ship uses garbage weapons, and it is impossible to achieve a good result in fourth place. Her main gun, for sure, has been refitted. Including the 10 cm high-angle cannon used by Cong Yun before, it has also been modified. That Admiral Roy is not easy, and creating Musashi only shows that he is lucky. However, the understanding and improvement ability of the ship's equipment is the truly valuable talent. ”
The female assistant said, "By the way, when I was talking to the Admiral of Palau before, I heard them talk about the Major Roy. It is said that he is a strange man, who has been in office for nearly a year, but he has no concern for the construction of the fleet, but instead devotes all his energy and resources to equipment research and development and transformation, in a vain attempt to create a secret weapon to destroy deep-sea habitat ships in one fell swoop. No one expected that he would be able to make a splash in today's artillery competition. ”
"This young man is very interesting and has the opportunity to meet him." There was a lot of interest in Professor Giovanni's eyes......
This artillery competition, the competition subjects of medium-caliber and small-caliber main guns, is just an appetizer. The highlight is the various competitions of large-caliber main guns.
Ships with small and medium-caliber main guns, mainly destroyers and cruisers. The more priority tasks of these two types of ships in combat operations are anti-submarine, air defense, and lightning strikes, and artillery skills are not so important.
But for battleships armed with large-caliber guns, firepower is life! Gunnery is everything!
Their mission in the battle is to form a solid formation and launch a devastating blow to the deep-sea habitat ship with the prestige of a large ship and a huge cannon!
The number of competition subjects for large-caliber guns accounted for more than half of the entire competition. When the warships under the command of the admirals appeared, the atmosphere of the entire competition hall reached the climax of enthusiasm.
"Next, there will be a large-caliber main gun ultra-long-distance static shooting subject, look forward to it, cheer, let us appreciate the mighty demeanor of the big ship and giant cannon!"
The words of the host of the competition instantly ignited the atmosphere of the venue.
The deafening sound of the cannon, the brilliant fire that erupted from the muzzle, and the chest of the beautiful shipwives shaking up and down because of the vibration when they opened the cannon...... Ahem, these are all things that the masses of the people like to see.
The first to appear was Andrea Doria, a battleship under the command of Admiral Iochino of Italy, who finished sixth in the overall standings.
As soon as she appeared on the stage, she attracted a lot of discussion from the audience.
"Cut, how is she. This elementary school student-like body, what's the show. ”
"I don't want to watch the little one, when will the big sister with a hot body play!"
Andrea Doria's pretty face turned red: "These ordinary people, I want you to know that the charm of a woman does not lie in the two lumps of fat on her chest!" ”
She waved her hands vigorously, and the four triple 320mm naval guns opened fire in unison.
The thunderous sound of cannons swept through the arena, and the noisy and boiling audience seats just now suddenly fell silent.
No matter how petite it is, it is also a battleship after all, and its momentum and majesty are enough to suppress the audience.
However, Andrea Doria's gunnery was not very good, and the error from the target reached 27 meters.
In the shooting competition, a direct hit to the target is a first-class evaluation, a cross-shot is a second-class evaluation, and if it misses the target, it is ranked according to the size of the error.
The result of the shooting made the Italian shipwreck a little frustrated, but her admiral Iochino was unimpressed: "Andrea, good job, I'll make pasta for you tonight!" ”
The surrounding admirals shook their heads, helpless against this Italian treasure.
The second battlecruiser to appear, Scharnhorst, performed a lot better, although it didn't hit, but a perfect round of straddle shooting, still amazing.
It didn't take many rounds of calibration to achieve such accuracy, and the admirals couldn't help but be in awe of Rudolph and his shipwives.
After two more players, finally, Musashi played.
The powerful aura, the mighty ship uniform, the heroic temperament, and the bumpy figure suddenly attracted a tsunami-like cheer.
Musashi took a deep breath and came to the firing position.
She has long been accustomed to this kind of high-profile arena, and her heart is as calm as water at this time.
"There's clear space ahead, and the player can start shooting."
Hearing the referee's announcement, Musashi gently lifted his glasses. Although she is a sports girl, she also studies quite hard, and she wore glasses when she was in high school. Although her eyesight has recovered after becoming a ship lady, she still habitually wears a pair of flat glasses. The slight weight on the bridge of her nose made her head more calm.
"The fire control radar is on. Ammunition type selection: 91-type armor-piercing bullet. Muzzle velocity of the main gun: 785 m/s. Target speed: zero. Target Heading: Zero. Current Distance...... Wind ...... Wind speed ......"
Musashi methodically entered the data into the fire control system.
While the audience waited silently, the three triple 46-centimeter cannons let out an earth-shattering roar, and the sound waves rolled across the arena, even startling the birds in the forest on the other side of the island.
"It's worthy of a super-large caliber naval gun, just listening to the sound, it feels like my heart has been hammered."
"But it's a pity, the power is enough, but the accuracy is ......"
"After all, I haven't been in office for a long time, and my training level is too low."
The admirals on the cruise ship talked a lot, and then turned their sympathetic eyes to Roy: the Yamato-class battleship was supposed to make a beautiful debut, but it was messed up with the first shot, and this guy will definitely become a laughing stock again in the future.
"Error, thirty-six meters."
As a result, Musashi was temporarily ranked last. Although there are still two rounds of shooting, no one thinks that with her gunnery there is still a chance to win the championship.
Roy remained seated, unresponsive to the sympathetic or gloating gazes around him.
And Musashi, standing on the sea at this time, is motionless, like a statue of a goddess.
"The water column echo is accepted...... The average impact point is located...... Start Updating Correction Data ......"
When Musashi left the arena, the sky was not beautiful, and suddenly it rained heavily.
The weather in the South Pacific is so capricious.
The audience did not extinguish their enthusiasm because of the heavy rain, and they held up umbrellas one after another. On the luxury cruise, the rain canopy was quickly unfurled, leaving the VIPs unaffected by the weather.
Rudolph watched the rain fall from the sky, and his mood was so comfortable that he almost laughed wildly: "Hahaha, even God is on my side today!" In bad weather, the shooting accuracy of all ship girls will drop significantly, so I, who had the best results in the first round of the competition, have locked the first place in this subject! ”
