Chapter 327: Luo Can's embarrassing situation

In the Sea of Japan, a huge ship is moored in the calm sea at night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Through the moonlight, you can see that it is different from the ugly shape of the square bread of the battleships of this era, the elegant and slender hull, the streamlined deck curve, in terms of shape, this giant ship can make all the current ship designers embarrassed.

In the compass bridge building of this warship, a middle-aged man of thirty years old stared at the dark sea ahead with a sad face. He was the temporary captain of the Iowa-class battleship BB63, and the epaulettes on his shoulders ironically indicated his rank as lieutenant.

It is no exaggeration to say that there has never been a precedent for a naval lieutenant to command a battleship since the Eagle Sauce family had such equipment as a battleship, not even when the battle situation was tragic.

An hour ago, when he was told that he was one of the two highest-ranking people on this battleship, Luo Can was in a state of bewilderment, and when everyone dragged him up to the compass bridge tower of the command tower to exercise command, his heart refused.

But considering that another man in a lieutenant's uniform had been performing a Broadway show on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship three weeks earlier, Luo Can would have had no choice but to take command of the battleship.

Looking at the list of officers and soldiers of the whole ship that had just been compiled in his hand, Luo Can found that the current situation was even worse than he imagined. There is no navigator, no weapons control officer, and you can't imagine that the only department on a warship that is full is the laundry room!

This is a war zone! Why do I need so many orderly soldiers who wash and iron clothes!? Luo Can cursed the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the "director team" and their children and grandchildren one by one in his heart.

The radar and observation departments are also unable to get together the personnel of a shift, and the only good news is that there is actually a large engineer for training on the warship, and if the rough embryos of the marine engineering department can withstand it, the warship is power-free. However, the harsh working environment in the engine room is well known, and Luo Can knows the virtues of those rough embryos, and strikes can occur at any time.

Captain? Chief mate? Inexistent. The highest-ranking officer on a battleship is actually a lieutenant, what else do you expect from a captain and first officer? It is said that this uncle, who has been cutting potatoes in the kitchen for three weeks, was the first mate on an oil tanker of an ocean-going company in China before the crossing, and he was also the only one among the 400 people who had ever helmed a 10,000-ton ship.

Without a weapons control officer and captain, the fate is that those high-tech precision strike weapons cannot be used, not that everyone's navy is the same as Wanwan, and the keys to missile launch are all inserted everywhere!

Fortunately, this is a warship that has been magically modified from the battleships of World War II, and its nine 407 mm main guns and twelve 127 mm secondary guns can shoot without any password, otherwise it would be the most warship in history. But the situation was not much better, Luo Can could only get someone to operate a main gun turret. As for the secondary gun, if you are not afraid of killing people, you can let people read the manual and go up to operate.

"Call the fox (code name for the negotiation delegation), this is BB63, your location is about a hundred nautical miles southeast of our ship, the command center of the green paint area ordered our ship to meet you, please be sure to communicate with the British ship in advance to avoid misunderstandings, our ship will meet you after sunrise." After Zhao Yi confirmed the identity of the delegation, Luo Can contacted Huang Xiaolei.

"Confluence? No need, we're heading towards Dalian Bay, and there's no threat nearby, so you can return to the Liaodong Peninsula first. Huang Xiaolei said.

"I really want to go back to the Liaodong Peninsula first, but we don't have a navigator on our ship! Relying on a former chief officer of the merchant ship who has only traveled the African route, when will we be able to touch the Liaodong Peninsula? "Luo Can is also very embarrassed.

"Roger." Although Huang Xiaolei doesn't know the specific situation on BB63's side, as a sufferer who has been cheated by the "director team", she understands Luo Can's mood at this time.

Colonel Percy Scott had barely climbed into his cot, in the captain's quarters, when he was dragged out of the bed by the herald's hurried knock on the door.

"Your Excellency Commander, Ms. Huang from the Great Song delegation said that there is something urgent to discuss with you." The herald said from outside the hatch.

"I see, bring her to me in ten minutes." Colonel Percy Scott got up and got dressed.

There was a member of the Great Song royal family who had been seriously injured on his own warship, and Colonel Percy Scott did not dare to slack off on the request for a meeting with the acting head of the Great Song negotiating delegation. Ten minutes later, Huang Xiaolei was taken to the captain's room by the herald, and Colonel Percy Scott was already standing inside with a full face.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have just received news that a warship of the Great Song Royal Navy is coming to join us. They plan to meet us tomorrow after sunrise, and I'm here to get this message across to you and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Huang Xiaolei said to Colonel Percy Scott.

"Oh, did you send that former Beiyang cruiser parked in Arthur?" Colonel Percy Scott asked.

Colonel Percy Scott was not too surprised that the Great Song delegation was able to contact the garrisons on the Liaodong Peninsula, and he knew that the Great Song people had a device that could quickly transmit information without the help of telegraph lines. It is said that a few months ago, the intelligence services of the Great Song Dynasty and the Tsarist Russians fought in Tianjin, which was caused by polar bears peeping on such equipment.

But Colonel Percy Scott was very curious about the time of the round, which the judge had to say, to locate another fleet in the middle of the sea in this era, and how did the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty find its position so accurately. Even if the Great Song negotiating delegation reported the course and speed of its warships to their fleet in real time, it would be difficult to achieve such accurate positioning. To be honest, his captains are constantly correcting their course to make sure their ships don't deviate from course, which is not easy to keep warships on their intended course all the time, especially at night.

"No, that warship is from the mainland of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is a warship that you have never seen before, so I specially came to inform you to avoid misunderstanding." Huang Xiaolei said.

"Are you referring to the fact that the fleet of the Royal Navy has arrived in the Far East? Didn't we have an agreement before that the fleet of the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty would not enter the waters of the Far East for the time being? Colonel Percy Scott's tone of voice was visibly agitated.

Although he had been mentally prepared for the arrival of the Royal Navy fleet of the Great Song Dynasty in the Far East, especially after the attack on the members of the Royal Family of the Great Song Dynasty at Maguan, Colonel Percy Scott's premonition became stronger and stronger, but when he received this information from Huang Xiaolei, he was still a little flustered.

Can the combat power of the Far East Fleet of the British Empire match that of the Great Song Dynasty? The arrival of the native fleet of the Great Song Dynasty in the waters of the Sea of Japan at this time was not a premeditated action? Did the shoddy tricks of those politicians finally annoy the people of the Great Song Dynasty? At this point, questions came to Colonel Percy Scott's mind.

"Agreements? Your Excellency, dear commander, do you remember that there was an agreement between Song Ying and Song Ying? But I did not feel at all at the negotiating table that the British representatives were sincere in fulfilling the agreement between us, and the politicians of your country seemed to be waiting to see our jokes. Do you also believe in the argument that the Great Song Empire was too weak to make up a fleet? At this time, although Huang Xiaolei still didn't know what kind of ship BB63 was, the Interim Executive Committee dared to let it come to the British to load B, she thought that BB63 must be a warship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons.
