0384 Greeting Gift
Sailing on the sea is a very boring thing, and it may seem new or even surprising at first.
For example, people who have only lived in the interior have never imagined that the waves can sometimes be so spectacular or even terrifying, and they may hold on to the side of the boat and look at the infinite extension of the sea and sky in the distance, and sigh at the beauty and magic of this world.
Everything that is new is beautiful, it is intoxicating, it is enough to make a person a poet.
Think a new car, a new friend of the opposite sex, and some new experiences.
But soon, the freshness gets boring, because none of that changes, and even the waves that make you feel irritable about the hard-boiled eggs rolling back and forth on the plate – the restless eggs that make you want to hammer them on the table and stop rolling!
Sailing on the seas can become more boring, boring, and boring than one might think.
After the first period of time, the soldiers have stabilized their mood and mentality, and here we have to thank the Lord's pastors, who always talk to soldiers who don't seem to be in a normal mood.
This way can help soldiers get out of their irritable, irritable, and confused state of mind.
At this time, a Navy soldier was writing a diary, and writing a diary seemed to be a particularly favorite thing for the Navy and sailors.
One can always find out how many diaries a sailor wrote from a shipwreck or somewhere, but one never heard of how much an army soldier loved to keep a diary.
Because the soldiers can do whatever they want when they are bored, even leave the base and go out to find some girls, but on the sea, there is not much for them to do except write a diary, or go and wipe the deck that has been wiped again.
Just as the sailor was writing about his beautiful vision for the future, suddenly there was a whistle that seemed to come from a boiling boiler, sharp and piercing, and then the ship shook violently, and at that moment he slammed to one side, and then tumbled to the ground.
The alarm for the battle sounded in an instant, and they were attacked!
"Report damage ......", the captain stood in the command room and looked at the various screens on the screen, the soldier who was making a report was right behind him, and there were no green dots on the screen except for the known green dots.
This waste!
The captain's expression was ugly, the military allocates funds every year to some military enterprises and technology enterprises to let them research some new products, some are indeed useful, but some are ...... There is no value at all, such as radiolocation systems.
There was no doubt that the other side had maintained radio silence, and this was nearly three days earlier than the time they had originally calculated to engage the enemy, so the other side must have increased the speed.
"The stern of the ship was shelled, the aft deck was breached, and we are urgently repairing the ......"
The captain listened to the information that he couldn't change anymore and shook his head, "They are positioning the artillery bombardment and making the fleet behind ...... deformed"
Several operators in the command room did not act immediately, but reminded, "This will reveal our coordinates, Your Excellency, Captain." ”
The Federation is working on the radiolocation system, and Gavra is also working on this system, and their research results are obviously beyond the Federation, after all, they attach more importance to the development of the Navy than the Federation, and in order to continue to control the hegemony of the world's seas, they must ensure that they will not lag behind others at least in terms of science and technology.
Previously, they had been silent for periods of time, making contact every forty-five minutes, but now if they turned on the radio, their coordinates were immediately exposed to each other's displays.
At this time, a ship was exposed on the sea, and it was certainly not an airplane or a torpedo that greeted it.
No aircraft can be involved in ship-to-ship battles yet, and torpedoes can only be valuable at close range, and too far away is a gamble of luck, but there is a kind of thing that does not have so many concerns.
This time the other side did not test fire a single shell, judging from the surrounding landing points, there were at least six shells, and they were "doing their homework" to provide reliable data for the battleships behind.
If they are completely exposed at this time, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Execute the order!", the captain's hand was already pressed to the matching guns on his waist, and if the operators tried to shirk, he would immediately shoot the operators and replace them with another batch.
The operators knew they couldn't change anything, and immediately began to operate, and in an instant radio waves began to transmit outward, and they were monitored through the surface of the sea by the fleet behind the destroyer, but also detected by the enemy ships that had just appeared within their line of sight.
The captain straightened his collar, took off the navy's wide-brimmed hat, straightened his hair and put it back on, "Turn the engine to the maximum to evade, notify all crew members to prepare for cover and extinguish the fire......"
After he finished speaking, he took the telescope and looked at the fleet that had been revealed in the distance, he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly, and he really couldn't underestimate these "invincible navy" that dominated the sea.
At this moment, I don't know if it was a hallucination, or for some other reason, the captain saw some clouds in the sky not far away, as if they had accelerated slightly, and then he didn't even have time to say anything, and the first salvo came.
No words can describe the feeling, at least the oppressive feeling of the salvo of two battleships was like the moment before the storm suddenly came.
All the air froze at this moment, and the speed of people's reactions was frozen!
He saw the shells, but he couldn't say anything, he couldn't give any orders, it was like something was holding him by the neck.
He had never experienced such a feeling, so helpless, so small.
In the next moment, the destroyer that the captain was on was pushed back as if by some strange force, and the hull of the ship sank violently into the water, and the surrounding sea level suddenly rose, and the soldiers who were rushing to repair at the stern were washed up by the sea water that poured in in an instant, but at the same time as the hull resurfaced, it was carried out by the seawater.
The huge column of smoke rose rapidly, followed by the explosion of the ammunition depot, and in just a second, the huge fire destroyed the destroyer, and it didn't even have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, breaking in two from the middle and rear sections, and then sinking.
At this time, the warships of the Federation Navy behind it quickly raised one after another earthy yellow balloons, and the instruments of the Federation at this time were indeed not as good as the human eye.
There is an observer in these ascent balloons, who observes the situation in the distance with a telescope and reports to the captain's office via a corded telephone.
These things...... To be honest, it's much better than those radiolocation systems.
In the eyes of the observers, the oncoming fifteen ships were divided into three parts, and they moved diagonally like a figure of eight with one extra leg, and then they saw the last thing that the captain who had almost died had seen before.
The giant ships shook violently, and the clouds in the sky were filled with black cannonballs in an instant, and the second salvo was fired much faster than expected!
This may be the reason why Gavra is able to rule the seas, they have a wealth of experience, excellent tactical and execution skills, and sailors who are so good that they will be jealous!
Of course, the captain of the battleship Paladin of the Royal Navy of Gavfra was indeed full of an arrogant smile at this time, as if it was not something to be proud of to take out a small ship in the first salvo.
In addition to these, there was some curiosity on his face, "These Federation people only have some advantages in some cleverness, and those balloons are still valuable." ”
He saw at a glance the peculiarity of balloons, which can help people to observe farther places more quickly and effectively.
The surface of the sea is not a plane, and they can detect each other earlier than the Federations, partly because of their surprise, and partly because they have a better viewing position, even if they only see each other half a minute early, it is enough for them to be ready for shelling.
If they could also raise these balloons, there would be no doubt that they would be able to shell their opponents from a greater distance.
The captain of the battleship Guardian Knight couldn't help but think of the plan that Gavra was secretly working on, and they planned to develop a one-off, fixed-wing aircraft that could take off from the sea as an outpost for pre-war observation.
Halfway through the project, developers are said to be able to ensure that the planes that can take off on the water can take off in lakes and some fast-flowing rivers, and may not be long before they can fly over the sea.
The thought of this made the captain even more relaxed, and he even had a female ensign bring him coffee and dessert.
"An easy battle!", he took a sip of the mellow coffee in the silver coffee cup, while commenting on the battle, "When they lose a few more ships, they will probably leave crying and crying......"
This is his definition of this naval battle, no one has ever been able to defeat the invincible Royal Navy, those enemies in the past can't do it, and neither can the Federation!
He did not know that this naval battle would never be won so easily, and they were in a hurry to rush to the coast of the Anmelia region, but those on the other side of the sea were ready to die on the sea before they came.
At the back of the Federation fleet, the submarines floating on the surface of the sea began to sink, and the crew of each submarine ship had already written a suicide note before setting off.
Due to some design and technological limitations, there are not many torpedoes on each submarine.
In addition to the torpedoes already installed in the launch tubes, the other torpedoes in reserve were in the single digits, and once the torpedoes were used up and still could not change the situation, they would launch a suicidal attack and ram the ships with submarines.
To ensure that this plan would work, all submarines would keep a torpedo, launch it at the moment of impact, and sink to the bottom with the opposing ship.
