Chapter 534: Aircraft Carrier

"Hang Mom? How dare you think about it! Let's not mention how these coal-burning ships can speed up to allow planes to take off smoothly, but do you expect them to have any range in the ancient triplanes you see on the beach? And with their touching weight, do pilots have to fight by throwing grenades" Frank laughed at Joel for opening a childish brain hole that a middle-aged man shouldn't have.

However, Frank was soon slapped in the face, and Johnny "visited" the masked man again in order to determine whether the British operation against the submarine at the beach was related to Mr. J. Ahem, this time Mr. J was about to go to bed in his pajamas, and he was quite surprised by Johnny's unexpected visit, well, he didn't have time to put on that mask to hide people's eyes.

Mr. J did his best to show Johnny his innocence in the face of the black hole's gun, and for this he explained that the actions of the British on the seaside seemed to be related to the Russians, but as for what the hounds from Scotland Yard were looking for and protecting, it was not for him, a businessman who was trying to blend in with the upper class, could not know.

Seeing that Johnny didn't seem to be happy with his words, Mr. J even sold one of his poker friends, Mitchell, an engineer at the shipyard. According to Mr. J, the engineer had drunk too much aged whiskey at a certain game and revealed that a ship ordered by the British Royal Navy to deal with the Great Song battleship had recently been launched.

With specific goals in mind, Johnny and the others don't have to guess and fool around to solve problems. Although drones cannot be used to take aerial photographs of the shipyard due to unknown interference from radio equipment, Liverpool does not have the Chaoyang aunts and uncles everywhere after all, right?

The reconnaissance shipyard put a high-powered telescope that the military and police personnel of this era could not understand in the distance, and after that, a large ship that was being outfitted blinded the kryptonite dog eyes of the X field service in the crowd.

"I'm rubbing, what the hell is that? With a few small turrets on a mixed freighter, this thing can be claimed to be a weapon against a Missouri-class battleship? Is our big 406 so easy to bully? Frank looked at the high-resolution picture on the Ipad with disdain.

"Looking at the hollow design on its side of the port, it seems that it is to facilitate the loading and unloading of something." Johnny said.

"That's why I say it looks like a mixed freighter with a few small turrets!" Frank said.

"It looks like the size of the British seaplanes, and you see here, it seems that there is room for the boom." Joel said to Frank with a wink.

"At most, it's an armed freighter that can be hoisted onto a seaplane!" Frank, who was slapped in the face, said.

"Well, I don't have a problem if you want to say that, after all, even if the Missouri-class battleship dismantles all the anti-aircraft weapons, these seaplanes can't do anything with it, and for the Missouri-class battleship, it's just a mixed cargo ship with seaplanes." Joel said, spreading his hands.

Although the history of this plane has been disturbed by the butterfly effect, some events still fall on the trajectory that is not too far from the original, such as the armed mixed cargo ship concocted by the British, uh, or seaplane carrier.

The British have been committed to the use of aircraft in naval warfare throughout the history of time and space, and they were the only combatants in the Battle of Jutland to have carrier-based seaplanes.

In fact, during this time and space, after the British acquired the aircraft manufacturing technology from the Traders, most of the large warships of the Royal Navy were successively equipped with seaplanes for reconnaissance.

Of course, those seaplanes are usually towed to the back of the boat, or hung from a certain part of the boat. In the event of rough sea conditions, these fragile ancient aircraft are largely obsolete.

After those battleships of the Far Eastern Fleet were completely suppressed by BB63, the British also racked their brains to think of a way to deal with it. It is undoubtedly the most ready-made way to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness of a single warship with a large number of warships, but the Sun Never Sets Empire is in an eventful season at this time, and it is impossible to pull out all the main battleships of the Royal Navy to fight against the sea giants of the Great Song Dynasty.

As for the sea monsters that they can fight with, judging from the embarrassing situation that they can't build cannon steel that can withstand high chamber pressure, the British Empire may not be able to build warships comparable to the battleships of the Great Song Dynasty in the near future.

Sometimes you have to admire the brains of the British engineers in the face of adversity, just as in the First World War when their infantry was mired in trench warfare on the Somme, they made a "big tank", when the Royal Navy faced the embarrassing situation of having no ships to compete with the Great Song battleships, they opened the brains of seaplane carriers.

Frank and Joel kept complaining around the Ipad while recording all sorts of data, while Johnny dug up the newspapers that Frank had "borrowed" from the Liverpool Library.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Song Dynasty has hinted that the Russians and their consulate fire in the British Concession in Tientin are involved. Tian accused the Russians of stealing important information from the burned ruins of his clinic. Looking at this again, a second-class battleship of the Far East Fleet's 'Captain of Centennial' class sank in the waters near the Grett Strait in the South Pacific Ocean due to an explosion, and the commander of the Russian Navy denied that the incident was related to the Pacific Fleet stationed in Cam Ranh Bay. Johnny said as he wrote on the small blackboard.

"Come on, let's see, after stringing all these messages together, it will have a magical effect!" Johnny paints as he teases through the connections between these clues.

"It seems that our partners who arrived early are not all rookies like Abu's men, at least the British believe that their 'Captain Centennial' class battleship was sunk by the Russians, well, to be precise, they believe that their battleship was sunk by the Russian submarines." Johnny continued.

"So, at the critical juncture of their armed mixed freighter, uh, I mean, the seaplane carrier outfitting, there was a little bit of a stir that the British suspected that there would be a Russian submarine to do something?" Joel said.

"Wait, the Russians have already added all the skill points to the combat talent tree, how can they still have points to go to the technology tree? It seems to me that Mosin Nagant was already the pinnacle of Russian technology in the nineteenth century, and the British wouldn't be stupid enough to believe that they could build submarines, would they? Frank said.

"Uh-huh, those partners of ours have already given the answer, the important documents lost in the British Concession in Tianjin!" Johnny said as he chalked around a clue on the blackboard.

"Well, even if the British believed that the Russians had submarines, so what? We still have to resupply the Mississippi somewhere else. Frank said.

"Reckless! It seems that Brand speaks Russian quite well, and I think it's time to pull an unlucky guy into the game, so that it can also take a little pressure off our partners, right? Joel had clearly understood Joel's intentions in drawing on the blackboard.

"So, we're going to do the rhythm of the blast?" Frank asked.

"Well, yes, but before that, the British's seaplanes have to 'scout' the submarine." Johnny said.
