1991 The Roar of the Dragon of the Sea
Wind and snow fall on the seaside of the imperial new Kyoto northwest sea castle,
From the Emperor's office at the highest point of the Emperor's Palace, the view of the Northwest Sea City, with a population of more than 600,000 people, is very majestic, with the sharp spires of the adjacent buildings shining brightly under the snow, and the tic-tac-toe outer ring streets crisscrossing the business district from the dock area, and the powerful empire that rose in the wilderness of the northwest with its plundering conquest will shock everyone who comes here for the first time, the military god emperor who terrified the whole of Obarro, his office is behind the snow-capped long palace wall, and the outer wall of the palace is a rare crimson, like human blood, but also like a battle flagOutside the palace wall is a whole team of Imperial Guards wearing black military uniforms, this palace and the new Kyoto of the empire show the majestic atmosphere of the world, the huge red palace is called the "Red Palace" by the empire to the outside world
The coldness of the Ikadiwa style and the romance of the Salander style are also expressed in every decoration of this majestic imperial Kyoto, red with fairy tale dazzling, fifty meters outside the Red Palace is the wide Ravhur River, the other side of the river is full of people in the business district, and the Imperial Avenue against the imperial Kyoto, from the emperor's Imperial Arthur Palace to the coast of Kyoto, there are many shops, under the white snow on the roof, the crowd in full costume, mixed with the figure wearing a handsome and straight military uniform, the park is full of laughing children,
Black carriages drove through the streets, and colorful billboards hung on their bodies, which read "Varilan Perfume, bring you the ultimate beauty!" This is a recent trend from the far south of the Putao region, it is said that those merchant ships sailing into the inland sea have such hangings on the side, in order to be able to open up the situation in the inland sea port and seize the market, the merchants' propaganda is simply overwhelming, the coast of Xinjing is snow-white, the waves float with white ice floes, and the huge imperial warships crack the ice on the sea. The frozen ice was crushed for the merchant fleet behind, the goods on the dock were still piled up, the merchant fleet and warships were sailing on the sea at the same time, and the decks of some merchant ships from other countries were crowded with people watching the scenery.
The fat man turned around from the window with a wine glass, looked at the anxious envoy of Emperor Istan I behind him, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency has also seen that the current military center of gravity of the empire is still in the Slavic wilderness further north, and the empire has just settled in Xinjing, and there are many kinds of work. The Imperial Navy can't be dispatched in the winter, and it is really impossible to assist the Istanbul Empire in containing the actions of the Fishan Navy, in fact, I personally recommend that Your Excellency go to the Stringant Navy, their navy is closer to Fershan, and they have the advantage of being more familiar with the details of the Fishan Navy than we are!"
"But the Strait Navy was completely defeated by His Majesty's navy! If it was His Majesty's navy, the Feishan Navy would definitely be suppressed! If His Majesty agreed to send the navy, Istanbul was willing to give the empire five million gold coins to pay half of the military expenses immediately!" The envoy of Emperor Istanbul I was a middle-aged man with a stern face, and his thin figure was wearing the black scissed-tail dress of the foreign officer of Istanbul, but he had a military temperament all over his body. Speaking with the cheerfulness of a soldier coming straight to the ground, if you are a real foreign officer, you will know what a kind of guy the honest-looking emperor in front of him is. I don't have such an eager expression at the beginning, it feels like shouting to kill me!
"For the sake of five million, let the empire erect a strong enemy in the inland sea, the gain outweighs the loss!" the fat man rolled his eyes. Unhurriedly, the Istan people have finally decided to take action against Fesan, and it is a good opportunity for the Falcon Empire to watch the tiger fight. The other party is a soldier, he can see at a glance, five million military spending may be very tempting for other countries, but this is the Falcon Empire, the Falcon Empire that is rich in the world! Five million is only one-tenth of a quarter's income for the empire, and I don't know what the eloquent emperor of Istan thinks, such a small amount of money wants the empire to send the navy to attack Fei Shan to attack him, and the cannonballs shot out by Lao Tzu are not worth this money! The fat man unceremoniously said that if you want to dispatch the Imperial Navy, you don't have to think about it without more than 30 million troops. "Thirty million!"
The envoy of Istanbul hesitated, if he hadn't seen the terrifying power of the Imperial Dragon-class battleship, he would have directly chosen to brush his sleeves and turn around, but now, he felt that this price was not outrageous, 30 million was the sum of the income of the Istanbul Empire in the past year, although the Istanbuls had made a huge fortune in the north of Gangfei, but it was also very difficult to come up with such a large military expenditure in one go, and it was the soldiers and nobles of Istanbul who made a fortune in the north of Gangfei, and because of the acquisition of this wealth, the call for the Iranian Empire to declare war on Fesan has been like rolling winter thunder,
"We can't give 30 million, but if Your Majesty is willing to help with this, our Emperor will use one-third of Fei Shan's land as a reward!"
The envoy of the Emperor of Istanbul took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice, he found that this dead fat emperor really did not let go of his mouth without seeing the benefits, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, and decided to play the last hole card that he could come up with, according to his analysis of the powerful and barbaric empire that rose in the northwest of Obaro before departure, the Falcon Empire greedily annexed Gangfei and forcibly annexed Gaul, and I heard that it expanded thousands of miles last month, proving that the head of this powerful empire, that is, the young emperor in front of him, can feel the ambition in his heart even if he is thousands of miles away,
"Use Faysan's land as a condition for the Falcon Empire to dispatch a navy!"
In order to defeat this century-old enemy, the Emperor of Istanbul has been laying out for twenty years, only in terms of the army, after the Istanbul Empire got the Falcon Empire's 200 doors of Thor, he was confident that it was enough to blast open the opponent's land defense line, and the army directly hit the capital of the Fishan Kingdom, and completely wiped out the Fishan people from this land with sharp spears and curved swords, but it has not been delayed, because the strong Fishan Navy has driven to the coastline of the Istan Empire, like a giant shark cruising on the coastline of the Empire of Istanbul and may bite down at any time, which made the coastal defense of the entire Iranian Empire tense to the extreme,
Once the two countries start fighting, when the army of the Empire of Istanbul advances towards the royal capital of the Kingdom of Fishan, the army of the Kingdom of Fishan may also land on the coast of the Empire of Estan at the same time, making the whole battle situation unpredictable. Emperor Istanbul was originally going to spend a year to form his own navy, but the plan to fully take over the Congo-Africa Navy did not succeed, and some of the construction docks in the Eastern Province were also destroyed by heavy and unknown forces last month, and the naval construction plan could not be carried out. Easily defeat the Falcon Imperial Navy of the Inland Sea Overlord Strant's Navy,
And what made Emperor Istanbul make such a judgment was the Imperial Dragon-class battleship as a gift, which deeply shocked the emperor who only knew anything about maritime hegemony, originally the emperor just thought that the Falcon Imperial Navy and the Strand Navy were superior in combat power, but when the huge Dragon-class battleship opened its gun compartment with the order, and the black baffle that was turned over was erected like the reverse scales of a dragon, and the Istanbul nobles on the entire viewing platform were almost stunned, "It's so big!" "What a pleasing performance!" I just don't know what it's like to stand on it!!" There were all kinds of exclamations from the viewing platform, and the sight of the Imperial Dragon-level cannon bay that was enough to make any sea opponent feel their scalp tingle opened. The evaluation here is enough to make most of the imperial enemies who know what it means for the dragon level artillery to open are immortal,
The Istanbul nobles on the viewing platform pointed at the huge dragon level as if looking at another ornate ornament as the last item in the process of taking over the ceremony. It is to ask this dragon-class battleship, which represents the strongest force of the Falcon Empire on the sea, to fire at a target erected in advance to prove the combat effectiveness of the entire battleship.
The Istanbul nobles on the viewing platform were discussing, "Okay, no! Even such a thin tube can sink a huge warship!" "That is, this one doesn't have any trebuchets except for the first glance that looks a little shocking." A stone thrower, a battleship that doesn't even have a ship's side guard, can defeat a naval battleship of Faisan!" "Just kidding, it's just a little better" Except for His Majesty the Emperor and a few people who know the terrible Falcon Empire's navy, most of the Iraqi people have a very shallow understanding of the navy, the Iraqi Empire has always been a land battle, and the role of the sea is only to stay in fishing, small commerce, plus the suppression of the old enemy Fessan Navy, the number of warships in the entire Istanbul Navy is less than fifty, of which there are less than ten large warships, and the navy is absolutely unheard of, "Such a warship really has the power to suppress the ground?"
Even a few of the confidants and generals under the command of the Emperor of Istanbul were discussing in a low voice, they were dissatisfied with the Emperor's development of the navy, and it was enough for the empire to have an army that dominated the continent, and no matter how strong the navy was, could it still hit the land?
Listening to all kinds of voices in his ears, Emperor Istanbul took a deep breath in a complex and sharp manner, waved his hand, and ordered, "It's time to start the test launch!" A flag bearer standing behind him waved the flag in his hand,
"It's an order for a test launch!"
The captain of the Dragon-class battleship saw the flag from the viewing platform, and gave an order with a solemn face, he and the gunners in the Dragon-class battleship are the elite of the Imperial Navy, this time in addition to bringing the battleship to the port controlled by the Iraqi people, at the same time, it is also as a coach, as part of the obligation of the battleship gift, is to help the Iranian Empire train a group of sailors who can operate the Dragon-class battleship, as the first appearance of the Dragon-class battleship, everyone, including the captain, is holding back a lot of strength in their hearts, and the huge noise from the viewing platform has already reached here, although I can't understand what the Istan people are saying on the viewing platformBut from the disrespectful smiles on the faces of the few Iraqi people around him, the captain could also feel the contempt of the other party for the most powerful force representing the Empire
"Laugh, I hope you can laugh again!" the captain grinned noncommittally, and shouted with his mouth to the microphone placed on the bridge of the command ship, "Bombard ready, a fortress target one hundred and fifty meters ahead!"
"Bang!" the iron cable that fixed the gun mount was untied, the gunners skillfully pushed the gun rails, the loading of the charge belt and the aiming of the target were completed in five minutes, and the rows of black and dark gun ports were slowly lifted in the direction of the target, like Thor's hammer brewing to accumulate strength. "Behold, those little black pipes can still move!" The sound of watching the excitement sounded again from the viewing platform, and many people craned their necks. The sound of the preparation was transmitted to the command bridge of the battleship through the brass pipes placed in the gun compartment at the same time.
The so-called test-firing target is a small fortress temporarily confronted with stones 100 meters away, no more than 30 meters long and wide, which is established by Istanbul engineers, who have never seen the power of a salvo from a Dragon-class battleship, according to the twofold increase in the bombardment intensity of catapults on ordinary battleships.
"All shots!Triple shot!" shouted the captain, holding his breath. The sound of the guò brass pipe exploding in the gun compartment
Boom!" The sound shook the port like a huge thunder, all the chattering voices were suppressed, and the nobles of Istanbul who were caught off guard fainted in fright on the spot, and the huge wave of air even swept to the viewing platform a hundred meters away, like a strong wind overturning the table in front of it, causing a piece of chickens and dogs to jump, and the people watching the ceremony ran chaotically,
On the almost churning sea, three horizontal rows of white smoke mixed with firelight erupted from the side of the Dragon-class battleship, and the shining white light scorched everyone's eyes. The huge battleship almost panned several meters on the surface of the sea, setting off a wave several meters high, and in the distance, the so-called small fortress of the target was hit by countless shells. Like a straw swept by a strong wind, half of it was directly lifted off in a dense explosion, and some Thor shells entered the fortress through the gap, and the red explosion fire burst out from the inside of the fortress again. The rubble was scattered and splattered, and it was completely leveled in just a few seconds.
There was a gasp, and the generals of the Istanbul Empire turned pale one by one. Looking at the small fortress that has completely disappeared, his mouth is slightly open, it is terrifying, such a power has exceeded the limit of their imagination for siege weapons, even if it is a powerful battleship throwing stones, it will take at least dozens of blows to destroy such a small fortress to be able to drag down the outer wall, and under the concentrated attack of such a powerful naval warship, it can't even support it for a minute, if the enemy facing such a battleship is himself, the army generals don't know how to face this weapon,
Emperor Istan I, who was standing on the viewing platform, stood up from the viewing platform in the port of acceptance almost immediately, his face was red and shining with excitement, and his eyes were eager to stick directly to this dragon-class battleship, like the hideous posture of the super battleship of the giant beast in the sea, and his excited hands clenched into fists: "Sure enough, it is the dragon of the sea! Gang Fei Kyoto was destroyed by such a force! The Fishan navy could only tremble under such power."
This viewing shook the entire Istan, and even the Inland Sea region, and even the Kingdom of Fishan quietly sent intelligence officers from the navy to inspect the ruins where the target was located, and the people who came back brought back a few broken stones with a pale face and reported them to the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Fishan." If it is placed on the sea according to the proportions of the small fortress, it is the length of a large Ferroa-class battleship that the Fishan navy is proud of, and the opponent's blow is enough to penetrate a large Ferroa-class, and the battleship may break in the middle because it cannot bear it! Fortunately, the Iranians only have one such warship, otherwise, it would be better for our navy to return as soon as possible! It is possible to continue to wander along the coastline and encounter it again!" "In this way, we can't compete at all, and if it is a head-on battle! Our navy may be completely annihilated." The senior management of the Strait Navy looked at the report provided by the intelligence officers, and their faces were solemn, the news of the Alien Navy's fiasco on the southern coast of Gangfei they knew that the opponent was the latest Falcon Empire fleet to rise in the open sea, the Alien Navy was not only greatly damaged because of this battle, but also the old Navy Minister, who was known as the protector of the country, also took the blame and stepped down, the new Navy Minister, the first thing was to immediately declare his sincerity to the Falcon Navy, completely open the entire inland sea, and said that the Alien Navy was not interfering with the openness of the Falcon Empire's inland sea,
If the sea is the territory, this is a complete loss of the city and land, the loss of power and humiliation of the country, the news came, not only the inland sea was in an uproar, but the Fishan navy was also in an uproar, "Spineless Salient coward!" The naval hardliners within the Ferzan Navy are fierce, they express extreme contempt for the incompetence and spinelessness of the Aliens, and they are also the overlords of the Inland Seas who have dominated the Inland Sea for decades, and there is no shame in defeat, but if they fail once, they don't even have the courage to fight, which makes the Fishan Navy, which is the same name, feel disgraced, and now it seems that the Strait Navy has clearly known the huge gap, and the consequence of continuing to fight is destruction," It seems that we must be prepared, if only we could also obtain such a super battleship Dragon class!At the very least, we also need to ensure that we do not face such a battleship!"
The Falcon Empire Dragon-class battleship appeared on the eve of the imminent outbreak of the big war between the two countries, which made the balance of naval power between the two sides quietly change, and maybe even the fat man himself did not expect that a small pebble accidentally dropped actually made this sea area begin to roll, (to be continued......
