Chapter 387 For the Federation! [This chapter is named by Yasuo who blows off the panties and adds Chang-211]
Torpedoes always face many problems in actual combat. For example, if the size of the torpedo is too large, its resistance in the water will increase, and at the same time, the requirements for buoyancy will increase, and the design of heavy torpedoes will become difficult. very difficult.

It not only needs a high-pressure air chamber that can automatically adjust the pressure to ensure its buoyancy, but also has an independent thermal dynamic capacity chamber to maintain a stronger driving force. These are the design difficulties.

But if the size of the torpedo is reduced and its shape is changed, it can indeed advance quickly and steadily in the water, but its damage will become very limited.

Forty-pound torpedoes may cause damage to some warships. Most of the cases of penetration below the waterline come from torpedoes, but countries also have corresponding methods, which are segmented closed bottom compartments.

Unfortunately, a place was penetrated, and they quickly closed the hatch of this place to prevent more water from pouring into the hull.

After the closure, the waterline of the ship will have some changes, and the speed will also have some changes. After all, the breach will form a vortex and reduce the speed, but there will be no further changes.

If the power of torpedoes is increased, the problems will become more and more complicated, and in actual naval battles, the two sides are often not given the opportunity to launch torpedoes at close range. on the artillery.

But this time they are facing improved torpedoes, more gunpowder, more reasonable design, and more accurate and stable launch guidance. These torpedoes will cause great trouble.

The Gefra people immediately adjusted the order of battle. They set the expulsion of the federal assault formations as their main goal. If their torpedoes could sink even battleships, it would be a great sin to let them come over.

When the Gefla people are proud, they will be very arrogant, but when they are serious and careful, they will become extremely cautious.

This also gave the Federal Navy a chance to take a breather, and the rear quickly readjusted to actively respond to the current complicated naval battle situation.

At this moment, those ghost-like submarines, out of people's sight, have come close to Gafla's position.

Arriving at the scheduled combat location, the first submarine moved towards their target, and the battleship Guardian Knight fired two torpedoes in succession.

The technologically improved torpedo has an additional level at the head and tail, and their function is to continuously adjust the angle of the torpedo. When there is some change in the level, there will be a dynamic instrument inside the torpedo to adjust the center of gravity and change the forward angle.

At the same time, there is a small hole at the front of the torpedo that releases air intermittently. These air bubbles can also increase the speed of the torpedo and make it more stable.

Launching the torpedo underwater was very concealed. It was not until the torpedo approached the battleship Guardian Knight that it surfaced. Seeing the torpedo shooting straight towards the hull, the soldiers in charge of observation immediately issued an alarm, but it was too late.

A huge water column rose suddenly, followed by a second water column. The improved new torpedo with twice the dose of the mainstream torpedo directly brought about a qualitative change.

After the battleship Guardian Knight was pushed sideways for more than ten meters by the shock wave caused by the explosion, the hull tilted significantly.

A torpedo hit the center front of the Guardian Knight's port side. The moment the seawater poured in, the engine group ceased fire. At the same time, the gap opened by the explosion was too large, and the speed of seawater backflow was too fast. None of them were able to close.

The damage to the battleship Guardian Knight immediately caused panic among the Gefra people, followed by all kinds of sudden violent deaths!
After the submarine is equipped with an improved torpedo, it can be said to be an updated torpedo, and it has shown amazing results for the first time.

After a brief shock, those military observers immediately became excited, because they discovered that the powerful and invincible Gefra Royal Navy was actually defeated by submarines and torpedoes!

If they still don't know why the federalists dragged a group of submarines that only appear in offshore and inland waterway engineering operations in everyone's impression to destroy the "pirates", then they are too stupid.

The countries of these military observers may have difficulty catching up with Gafla's naval strength on the issue of battleships, but they can also take a slant to the Baylor Federal Navy and use submarines and torpedoes as means of attack.

Torpedoes can cause significant battle damage to battleships, which means that battleships will no longer be invincible at sea!

Before today, people believed that the only thing that could defeat a battleship was the battleship itself, but now it is different, this is an innovation across the ages!

The ghosts hidden under the water attack the unsuspecting warships, those people don't even know why they are attacked, those enemies are far away from them!
But the war will not stop just because of their injuries. Those Gefra warships whose speed is limited or even stopped in place after the engine stalls are like targets.

Federal soldiers may not be very good at hitting the same moving enemy ships while moving, but they are too good at target training.

There was not much scattering, and the following salvo was very precise. Four warships were named in a row, and after multiple shells hit the battleship Guardian Knight, which was already trapped like a beast, the opponent raised a white flag.

They surrendered.

There is no need for a tentative naval battle, a naval battle originally intended to show off the strength of the navy, to sink most of the main fleet here.

Although their boats are miserable, they are actually dragged back and repaired, and they are almost usable again.

The soldiers of the Federal Navy cheered, they won the war in an unexpected way, but it is undeniable that the strength of the Gefla Royal Navy is beyond doubt.

If it weren't for the submarines and new torpedoes to establish feats, it is very likely that the Federal Navy will have to retreat and flee this sea area in the end. In this kind of frontal war, they are not the opponent of the Royal Navy of Gefra.

But they won, and they cheered the victory.

It's just that the commander-in-chief of the Federal Navy Fleet didn't show much smile at this time, he was thinking about a question.

All the people in the command room were waiting for his decision, whether to continue the fight, or to let Gefla's navy go.

The commander-in-chief was hesitant. This naval battle told him that there was indeed a clear gap in strength between them and the Gefra Navy in a frontal battle.

Subs and torpedoes changed that and gave them victory, but what about next time?

The exposure of submarines and torpedoes will definitely attract the attention of all countries, and they will focus on the research of submarines and anti-submarine research.

Once there are suitable anti-submarine equipment, the role of submarines is reduced in frontal naval battles, so what will they use to defeat the Gefra Navy next time?
Face-catching cannonballs to defeat these fearsome foes?
So after Gefra's warship raised the white flag, the commander-in-chief did not immediately lift the state of war, and the soldiers were still sticking to their posts, and he was weighing.

At the same time, a voice in his heart told him that if this fleet is completely destroyed now, it will be a fatal blow to Gefla.

With one less capital ship group, one of their remaining capital ships must be guarded near the homeland at all times to prevent hostile forces from directly attacking their homeland.

Then the naval power they can freely use on the sea will become extremely limited, and Gefra's influence in the world will also decline accordingly.

It is difficult to recreate a brand new capital fleet in a few years, and they may need at least six to eight years to restore the current fleet size...

The development opportunity of six to eight years is too attractive.

The commander looked at all the officers and generals in the command room, and pursed his lips, "I am a sinner. All the orders today come from me. When I go back, I will accept the court-martial ruling!"

He paused as he spoke, and without waiting for any reaction from others, he walked to the command platform and ordered the operator, "Notify all ships, continue to attack, and be sure to completely wipe out this group of pirates here!"

On the other side, the Gefra people are dispatching various lifeboats to rescue those drowning sailors who have not yet died on the water. These sailors are Gefra's most precious wealth.

Each of them has experienced many battles, and has combat experience and stable psychological qualities that are difficult for others to match.

When a warship is broken, it can be repaired. The death of these sailors is the biggest loss. It is difficult to train a group of qualified sailors in peacetime.

At this time, Gafla's commander was also summing up the gains and losses of this battle. He was very generous, no matter how angry, fear, anxiety, and hatred he had in his heart, he would not show it.

Just when he was talking about personally pleading guilty to His Majesty the Emperor, he suddenly looked at the fleet on the opposite side of the battlefield.

The clouds in the sky changed, and then dense shells landed on the battleship!

The battleship Guardian Knight was completely unable to respond to the concentrated fire, and the other ships were more or less damaged, and they were unable to escape quickly.

A large number of soldiers are still fighting the fire and rescuing them. They never thought that after the white flag was raised, the other party would continue to shell them!
This was a real massacre, but there was no trace of blood, and all the corpses and warships sank to the bottom of the sea.

The eyeballs of the military observers on the periphery were all rounded. No matter what, they all realized that something big was going to happen!
The defeat of the Gefra Royal Navy is already a major event. What is even more frightening is that the federal people are crazy. On the premise that they have already reaped the fruits of victory, they still wiped out almost all the Gefra warships. Do they want to Start a new round of war?
If it is true, how do you choose?

The military observation ship quickly identified itself as harmless and retreated quickly. If it didn't leave at this time, it would be bad if the federal people thought they should stay.

Calm was gradually restored on the sea, and that night, almost all the important people in the federation who had anything to do with national defense were awakened by this news.

Some people even feel hopeless, because the war seems to be coming soon!
