Make up for yesterday's ......

..........................................

Not long after the relics were in power, in the next few volleys, the Recife, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo also hit their respective targets.

Facts have proved that the Chinese products are indeed powerful, especially the composite armor modeled after the original space-time Veneto, the defense power is indeed leveraged, even if the quality of the armor for export cannot be compared with the self-used products, but it can also withstand the main gun of the same level. Well, the armor-piercing ability of the export version of the shell is also weaker.

At a distance of about 15 km, the St. Martin received a 390-mm shell near the waterline, but this shell did not penetrate the main armor belt, but the huge impact caused the displacement of several nearby armor plates and cracks in the hull, causing a small amount of water, but it was not a big problem.

However, the Rivadavia, which was the first to fire or misfired, was not so lucky, and it was deposed of the No. 6 main turret. The Moreno was hit in the middle of the hull, and several later added anti-aircraft guns were blown away.

And at this time, the hapless Argentine did not even score a single hit.

I'm afraid the Argentines are going to kneel this time! This is the opinion of many onlookers.

"Shaosa, the Argentines are unlucky......" On the onlookers sent by the Japanese Navy, the pilot, Second Lieutenant Saotome, said to his superior, Akechi Hidetsuna, in the back seat.

"This is too bad, it's even worse than Japan's......" Seeing the poor performance of both sides, Akechi Hidetsuna was also very speechless, although he is a staunch aircraft carrier party, but he is no stranger to the BB party, and now the mainstream of the Japanese Navy is still the BB party.

As a staunch member of the aircraft carrier party, Akechi Hidetsuna has always looked down on the BB party, mainly because he feels that Japan has no future in playing the BB party. He was a person who had participated in the European War, and after seeing the navies of the European and American powers, he felt that Japan's battleship training was very bad, and with the Japanese navy's degree of slamming the door, he was simply reluctant to spend too much money on training. Europe and the United States aside, like the Chinese Navy next door, each main gun of the capital ship has to scrap several pipes every year, and it spends most of the year at sea. But if you look at the Japanese Navy, those capital ships spend at least 10 months a year in the harbor as decorations, not to mention the live firing of the main guns, which rarely fire a few rounds a year, and cannot change a single barrel for several years.

So he always felt that Japan's capital ship training was rubbish, but today, seeing the performance of Argentina and Brazil, he realized that Japan's capital ship is not the worst trained.

"Look, these South Americans are an example, the cost of construction and training of battleships is too high, and a battleship with no training is not as good as a destroyer. But our air carrier is different, the construction cost and training cost are very low, and the combat effectiveness is far better than that of battleships, so the air carrier is the future development direction of the navy......" Akechi Xiuzuna said with confidence.

He did not know that with the development of science and technology, the various costs of future aircraft carriers would be no less expensive than battleships. Of course, the conclusion he said now is still correct, the largest aircraft carrier today is China's Liaoning-class, but the price of all the new carrier-based aircraft is also half cheaper than the Sunwu class, which is close to tonnage.

At this time, a large seaplane of the US Navy flew over, which also came to watch. The navies of Pakistan and Afghanistan do not have aircraft carriers, and they do not carry many seaplanes, and most of the planes in the sky of the fleets now come from the major powers.

"What a bunch of fools...... "Colonel William Frederick Halsey Jr., who was watching the battle on the seaplane, couldn't help but vomit: "I think even a bunch of novices who have been in the service for a year are doing better than them......"

Colonel Halsey, who is now the captain of an aircraft carrier training ship, came to watch the naval battle in the name of an investigation. However, he shook his head at the performance of both sides.

At this moment, a huge fireball suddenly exploded on the side of the Minas Gerais.

"Great, in the twelfth round, the Argentine finally hit the ......," a captain next to him said to his companion, smiling and holding out his hand. A few colleagues next to him hung their heads and took out a few green tickets and put them in his hands. Well, they were just betting that the Argentines would be able to hit the target in a few volleys at the earliest. Why make a bet on the Argentine? Quite simply, because three of Argentina's four battleships were American.

..............................................................................

"Great, finally hit!" Lieutenant General Batistuta was so excited that he wanted to cry, it was not easy. He felt that his character today was such a failure.

There was a great deal of confusion on the Minas Gerais, and the Argentine cannon had done great damage to it, and although they had already hit more than ten shells on the Argentine battleship, when it came to the damage done, I am afraid that none of the ten shells combined were as great as one.

The shell hit the side of the Minas Gerais, the 229-mm main armor belt was pierced at once, and then the remaining shell penetrated the partition of the ammunition depot of the secondary gun and exploded inside. The heat from the explosion spread rapidly, and more than 200 rounds of 120-mm shells and propellants were detonated.

The thin-skinned dumplings made by the British were beaten back to the prototype by this cannon. The constant detonation of ammunition was like festive fireworks, and in less than two minutes, the entire side of Minas Gerais was surrounded by flames and smoke. Although the power of 120 mm shells is not large, they are not enough to hold a large number. The captain was worried about the main gun ammunition depot that had burned to the side side, so he hurriedly ordered to fill it with water.

The auxiliary artillery ammunition depot was near the waterline, and this large explosion blew a large hole more than seven meters long in the waterline part, and a large amount of seawater poured in, and soon it rolled sideways.

"The Minas Gerais is finished, even if it doesn't sink, it's no longer combat-effective......," Chen Ce said in a relaxed tone of watching the fire from the other side.

"The British's foreign trade battleships are terrible!" said a French captain gloating.

The Brazilians were also in a hurry, and quickly adjusted the array, allowing the Minas Gerais to retreat and urgently save itself, while several Brazilian destroyers rushed over to release smoke and cover up.

The Argentine Navy was immediately demoralized and stepped up its offensive. Now their luck seemed to be improving, and soon they had two more hits. The Recife was blown off a secondary cannon, and the relict was shot. Its No. 7 turret was punctured through the head by a projectile that fell at a high angle, igniting the ammunition that had accumulated inside the turret and blowing up the entire turret. Thankfully, the ammo hoisting shaft in the turret had been closed at the time, preventing the fire from spreading to the main ammunition depot. However, due to the filling of the ammunition depot with water, the No. 6 turret was also abandoned. The two rear main turrets of the Relic share an ammunition depot.

However, Argentina did not have a good time, they were not happy for a few minutes, and the Moreno and Saavedra also took a beating. The Moreno was also pierced by a 305mm armor-piercing shell through the gallery armor, destroying a 152mm secondary gun and igniting the ammunition stacked in the gallery. The Moreno also set off fireworks. The Saavedra was the most unlucky, the relict actually fired a water bullet, and this water bullet actually hit its steering gear, and the fragments of the exploding rudder also stuck a propeller, not to mention the speed of the Saavedra was greatly reduced, and the control of the battleship became extremely difficult.

At this time, neither of the warring sides had any intention of continuing to fight. The Brazilians were the first to instigate, and they released smoke to retreat north. And the Argentines were also confused by this sudden loss, and did not dare to chase anymore. Moreover, the Moreno was not well managed, and the situation seemed to be getting worse, and the Argentines hurriedly withdrew their troops.

So the battle of the estuary of La Plata ended in such a bad way, and the curtain came to an end with countless audience boos. However, the air force groups that had received orders from both sides to rush to help them exchanged fire again, and after losing more than a dozen planes each, they all withdrew to cover their own capital ships.

..................................................................

"Damn, is this the end of it?Are these guys fighting a war or a family wine?" Chen Ce said with a look of disdain

"Hey, it's scattered, it's gone...... the onlookers waited for a while, and saw that both sides of the war had withdrawn from the maximum range without looking back, and they really had no intention of continuing to fight, so they were ready to leave.

At this moment, the Moreno, which was heading towards its home port, suddenly made an earth-shattering loud noise.

"Boom...... a huge fireball rose from the middle of the ship's hull, and a large amount of scrap iron wreckage was thrown everywhere. The Moreno collapsed on the surface of the sea at once, and the entire battleship was enveloped in a sea of fire, and the officers and men on it shouted in panic and ran around like headless flies.

"It looks like an explosion at an ammunition depot!" the insiders in the audience immediately understood the reason.

The captain of the Hood was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "Are they all fodder?"

"......" Colonel Halsey and a group of other American officers were speechless. Well, this time it was an explosion at the ammunition depot of the secondary artillery, and it was another one.

But even so, the Moreno could not bear it, and the explosion of two auxiliary ammunition depots in a row not only caused a serious rupture of the hull, but also destroyed its power system, resulting in the inefficiency of the already inefficient damage management, and now the Moreno is sinking into the water at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the Brazilians did not have a good time, and their Minas Gerais could not hold up on the way home, and after the damage failed, the hull tilted more and more severely, and finally had to give up treatment.

In this unfinished naval battle, both sides lost one battleship, and the rest of the battleships were all damaged. For countries like Brazil and Argentina, battleships are expensive toys, and this kind of loss is really unbearable, and it hurts to sink a single one, so their capital ships are retracted under the pretext of repair.

The Great Powers' assessment of the naval battle was that Brazil's strategic objectives had not been met and that it had clearly lost. But Argentina's performance was also too bad, and it was still playing so ugly when it had the advantage of equipment. In the eyes of the Great Powers, the Moreno should not have been sunk if the damage had been managed well.

In particular, the Yankees, in order to maintain the reputation of "made in the United States", sent a large number of bricks to wash the floor, and they solemnly pointed out in the media that it was all because of the low-level mistakes of the Argentine Navy that led to the sinking of the Moreno, and this was not the problem of the battleship itself. It's all the Argentine's fault! Our warships made of rice are absolutely problematic!

However, the two navies stopped fighting, but the army and air force did not stop, and this is just the beginning.

After receiving the report of the start of the naval war, the army and air forces of the two sides, which were already fighting fiercely on the border, immediately began to fight.

..................................................................

This war is known internationally as the "AB War", with A referring to Argentina and B referring to Brazil.

This war is very tangled for the big hooligans, and if it were to be changed at another time, they would definitely want to interfere. But the time was not right, the revolutionary tide in Europe had just passed, and the European powers were either busy rebuilding, calming the mood at home, or suppressing the colonies. I really don't have the energy to interfere in South American affairs.

The United States, on the other hand, has the intention of interfering, but they have always regarded South America as their backyard, and although their main focus is on Africa, they will not let it go if they have the opportunity. However, the Yankees' intentions were too obvious, and they were strongly opposed by the old Europe, and Britain, France, Germany, and Italy actually joined forces on this issue. They declared: In dealing with the South American issue, it is necessary to uphold the principle of "unity among the great powers" and not to support a certain country without permission.

The Chinese-led People's Revolutionary League (PRNF) has also repeated the same old tune on this matter, demanding an immediate ceasefire between the warring parties and an immediate start of peace talks. There is no way, China now has a lot of land waiting to be digested, and it really can't spare the energy to develop in South America.

At the recent summit of the League of Nations in Geneva, the big hooligans, nay, bigwigs of the member states discussed the tensions in South America.

At the meeting, Wen Deji was heartbroken, and said with compassion: "Hey, why should human beings hurt each other? Everyone should give way to each other, and the world will be a better place! Why do we have to fight each other? The AB war in South America is a tragedy, and we must give play to the role of the League of Nations to prevent the ......continuation of this tragedy."

"So, what is China's opinion on this?" asked French President Charles Brown.

This gentleman is the leader of the far-right party "National Front", which, to put it bluntly, is the fascist party in France, which is formed by several small far-right parties, and was originally inconspicuous. During the French Revolution the year before, the party was supported by several big capitalists in the country, and launched an armed struggle with the French Communist Party and other ultra-left parties, and took advantage of the situation to rise. Now France has turned to the right as a whole, fascistized, and left-wing parties and progressives such as the French Communist Party have been brutally suppressed, hung with street lamps, and declared illegal.

"I suggest that we, the executive members of the League of Nations, unite to form a peacekeeping force to mediate between the two countries, and that similar incidents be dealt with in the future to prevent humanitarian disasters......," he said in a compassionate tone.

, you also want to play the Eight-Nation Alliance? The bigwigs of various countries have vomited in their hearts. Although Mr. Wen said it in a high-sounding manner, the bigwigs of various countries are not stupid, and naturally they will not be fooled by these superficial reasons. In their view, this is because China wants to intervene, but it can't do it, so it wants to get more people to partner in the vote.
