If you can't walk away, you can only be hit, and after you hit it, you can only sink, and become part of the losses in the naval coalition forces of the West, Britain, France and other countries.
The battle started in preparation. There are more than 1000 warships here, plus the low-level warships of the coastal defense fleets in various ports. The main battleships have been dispatched to charge ahead or cover both sides of the main fleet. This time we must go all out to try to block the enemy's attack.
The combat power I have exploded at this moment, but the enemy's fleet has too many warships, and they are too close together. Within half an hour of the enemy's main fleet fighting with the main fleet here, there are destroyers and speedboats that have slipped through the net. It broke through the defense lines of all the warships of the New Kingdom here, rushed to the rear of the fleet, and rushed to the coastline.
Near the coastline, the destroyers and fast warships that were cruising immediately came to intercept them. These are the warships that the coastal defense fleet put behind to defend the port and the shore, and even the old ships and merchant ships in the port were transformed into the last line of defense, and patrols were added. The army is here.
How many such warships are needed for a coastline of hundreds of nautical miles to intercept the enemy's warships breaking through the blockade.
So many warships, let’s talk about how many broke through the blockade, and were quickly submerged under the artillery fire of the swarming destroyers and fast battleships patrolling the coastline, without even a wave.
As the battle continued, the New Kingdom lost 150 warships in an hour's battle, all of which were low-level warships and some main battleships of the coastal defense fleet charging ahead. In order to stop the enemy on both wings, they tried their best. After all, their warships were Old or damaged warships, because only those warships can be decommissioned into the coastal defense fleet.
After a fierce battle, running back and forth two to three hundred nautical miles away, they should have entered the shipyard for maintenance, but now they still have to fight. With the collision of the main fleets of the two sides, their task is to intercept the enemy from the two sides. It is a warship that is trying to infiltrate near the coastline with a large number of people and ships, attack the coastline, and cause damage to the coastline of the New Kingdom.
They retreated, but opened their own defense line, so that British and French warships, especially low-level warships, relied on their speed advantage to continuously pass through their defense line and penetrate into the formation of the main fleet, resulting in the firepower of the main fleet. They have to be intercepted, and they have to be prevented from passing through, but because there are too few battleships.
The enemy has more than 4000 warships. The New Kingdom has only about 2000 warships on the front line. The rest of the coastal defense fleet has hundreds of warships and hundreds of warships that have been transformed into merchant ships. There are more than 4000 warships in total. The successive attacks of multiple warships made more and more enemy warships slip through the net.
There is no way to deal with this kind of Tang Kefeng. Even if he commands, even if His Majesty Zhang Siyuan comes down, he also thinks that under such circumstances, on the wide sea of fifty nautical miles, it is really impossible to stop the enemy's attack. Infiltration, although it is constantly retreating, the formation is shortening the distance, and the defense area is getting smaller and smaller. From fifty nautical miles to 45 nautical miles, and finally more than 30 nautical miles, there are more and more enemies to be intercepted.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
The fleet sailed around Africa and returned to the Indian Ocean.
For many years, the fleet of the New Kingdom has never traveled this way again.
The compromise between the Portuguese and the Spaniards made the trade of the New Kingdom, as it did after the last war, recover through trade with the neighbors of the two countries. Although it was still only one-third of the previous trade volume, it was not bad. up.
In addition to the trade volume with the various governor-generals of the Chinese Empire, although the time to go back and forth is a bit longer, even though the canal has been opened, it will take more than three months to go back and forth. It takes half a year to spend at sea, but it's better than nothing, and it's better to come less than nothing.
These materials just made up for the trade losses during the war. At the same time, as the territory became larger and more constructions were made, the New Kingdom was already self-sufficient in many materials.
And reversely export materials to the Chinese Empire, and export materials and commodities to Western countries. After the war, Western countries are in short supply of everything, and they cannot do without the New Kingdom.
This is the case for some foreign businessmen in the New Kingdom, who concealed their identities and entered countries such as Britain and France to conduct secret transactions with them.
Both the New Kingdom and the Western countries used this method to conduct underground trade at this time, and these underground trades supported their remaining very lucrative trade profits.
It seems that there is a need for a gray area at any time, otherwise the two companies are at war, if they continue to confront each other and do nothing under the ground, both companies will be hurt, they will not be able to save face at all, the trade will be lost, and the two companies will not be able to replenish raw materials And resources, commodities, neither of them can continue to develop, so the underlying trade, the two of them, Britain, France or the New Kingdom, turn a blind eye, close one eye, and let it go.
Originally, the New Kingdom was resolute in cracking down on these things, but after the last crackdown, they suddenly felt that they had not done so, and their trade could not recover, so they acquiesced.
After that, a large group of merchants brought a lot of goods. Many British and French goods entered the New Kingdom, and the rich goods of the New Kingdom also entered the Western countries. The trade between the two countries suddenly surged as if there was no war. Merchandise trade increased very rapidly.
But under such circumstances, the rich Chinese Empire is still the place where Westerners trade with the New Kingdom.
Westerners obtained goods from the governors who cooperated with them, and then brought them back to Europe through their African colonies, by land, through the territories of Turkey and Persia, and the New Kingdom quickly brought Back to the New Kingdom, or the trade fleet of the merchants of the Huaxia Empire.
As time went by, this trend became more and more obvious. Merchant fleets from the West gathered in various ports of China, and trading merchant ships loaded goods, and then sailed to various ports on the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. The trade of the empire made the Chinese Empire have A lot of money was used to fight wars, and the situation in the empire was further turbulent and complicated, with various interests intertwined.
In short, the Chinese Empire became the beneficiary after the end of the naval battles of the Western countries.After the war, the Western countries also needed the supplies and commodities of the Chinese Empire, and purchased their commodities frantically, which made the Chinese Empire once again present a grand occasion of flocking trade with the West after a hundred years.
Most of the goods from the Huaxia Empire were collected in the Han Kingdom in the West, the New Dingyang Port of the New Kingdom, and then transferred to the native North America and the Azores through the fleet, and then the Spaniards and Portuguese, Morocco and New Zealand. The merchants in the Western Continent turned back here, and the trade volume of the Azores Islands also rebounded rapidly.
Relying on the previously established Azores trade facilities and equipment, ports and various merchant ships, Tang Kefeng resumed the post-war fleet reorganization and personnel deployment while coping with such a prosperous post-war trade.
The post-war trade status of the Azores was reaffirmed, the blockade fleet was changed to an escort fleet, the coastal defense fleet was used as an inspection fleet to maintain trade security in the surrounding waters, and the main fleet served as a warning fleet for guarding and patrolling the North Atlantic Ocean, while patrolling long distances On the route between two small archipelagos and the mainland and African overseas territories on either side.
The warship damaged after the war was also quickly transformed into a merchant ship. The turret, turret, and various combat equipment were removed, and it became a good merchant ship. The merchants liked this kind of merchant ship very much. Become sailors of merchant ships, especially those foreign sailors who can run the British and French routes.
They have an advantage over Han Chinese sailors, and they will not be discriminated against or made things difficult when they go to Western countries.
The Azores is where these sailors gather. Every day, many sailors board and leave on the pier. There are also many sailors who come here from all over the world looking for opportunities, and then they are hired to follow the merchant ships to trade. The sailor tavern here Every day is very lively, no proofing at [-]:[-] in the morning, and business starts again at [-]:[-] in the morning.
The business on the wharf is enough to make people from the bottom laugh and cry. Laughing means they are too busy to finish a day’s work. Crying means their bodies can’t bear it. There is too much work and the money cannot be earned. , Seeing that it was taken away by others.
At the same time, he served as the deputy commander of the coastal defense fleet in the Strait of Gibraltar, responsible for logistics coordination, coordinating the decommissioning and exchange of warships between the main fleet and the coastal defense fleet, and supporting tasks.
The arrival of the reinforcement fleet has greatly supplemented their previous battle damage, allowing the main fleet to recover to [-]% of the number before the war, and those injured warships have been repaired, and after some simple repairs to the battleships have been basically completed, they have all been destroyed. Sent down and joined the coastal defense fleet, making the coastal defense fleet reach [-]% of the original fleet's number of warships, barely supporting coastal defense and limited offshore patrol missions, which can't do everything like before. and the umbrella of the strait.
After accomplishing such a task, the repair and maintenance work is divided in half, and one fifth of the warships have entered the maintenance berth for maintenance work, completely replacing the damaged parts, replacing the gun barrel, replacing the turret, and everything in the early stage of operation. Among them, the part lost in the battle, because the enemy still has the possibility of attacking, can only be repaired briefly, replace the barrel and correct the parts that need to be replaced, so that the battleship can go to work with injuries. Now that the situation has basically eased, we have to Give the battleship a new look to cope with the possible next big battle.
