Lord of Ming Dynasty

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.

Chapter 1988 A Wasted Life

On this side of Central Asia, on the other side of the Indian Ocean, the New Kingdom has opened up battlefields on two fronts, opening up the passage back to the empire.

Although the Ottoman Empire begged for mercy, the New Kingdom originally gave them some forgiveness, but this time the New Kingdom would not let them go so easily.

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.

And those damaged warships are also undergoing comprehensive repairs, not just being able to operate. One-third of the artillery that can fire on them is good, so they dare to send them out to perform missions. Now they all have to be replaced. Only in a state of combat effectiveness.

After this operation, at least two hundred warships will be assembled, all of which are main battleships. Of course, they are the main battleships of the coastal defense fleet. The coastal defense fleet is more needed than the main fleet at this moment, because they can finally protect the coastline and fight against the enemy at sea. Fighting, every fleet of the coastal defense fleet is more powerful than the main fleet of the Dutch, and slightly inferior to the fleets of the French and the British. After all, those warships are outdated or the new warships are not equipped enough.

The enemy will never be allowed to break through the coastline and reach the shore to bombard villages and shore artillery facilities on the coast.

"Fire,"

The main battleship had four turrets, and twelve artillery guns fired in one direction in turn. The three enemy destroyers that were outflanking were immediately enveloped in twelve nearly lost shells of 250 [-]mm artillery.

Although it missed, a near-miss bomb exploded 13 meters away from the enemy destroyer, causing a huge wave as high as 30 meters high. The shrapnel from the explosion flew to the destroyer, blowing up at least a dozen people and hitting a double-linked enemy ship at the same time. The base of the turret, this base immediately lost the function of rotation, the artillery was stuck in front of the chimney and the turrets of the secondary guns on both sides, and at the same time swept the mounts of the two 120mm secondary guns.

At the same time, the enemy's main fleet also fired countless shells at this side, and the shells coming and going from both sides could fight in the air.

In the first round, in the second round, the losses in the first round were the enemy frigates and destroyers intercepted by the low-level warships in front of the enemy, as well as some cruisers. The artillery shells and the neatly arranged formations were smashed by dense secondary artillery, or torn apart by the shells. In addition, their purpose was to entangle the warships of the New Kingdom in front of them, so they could not go away.

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 1989 Still Fleet

But generally speaking, the fleet led by the veteran Wang Weiyun here has achieved some results. These results are enough for the fleet to temporarily gain a firm foothold on the edge of the Indian Ocean and lay a solid foundation for continuing to go to the Indian Ocean.

Although the Ottoman Empire begged for mercy, the New Kingdom originally gave them some forgiveness, but this time the New Kingdom would not let them go so easily.

Chapter 1990 Fleet's Dilemma

The new warships of the fleet have been delivered, while the old warships in the mainland have been quickly separated and enriched into various overseas territories and the Indian Ocean Fleet, Mediterranean Fleet and other fleets performing missions outside.

Wang Weiyun looked at Madagascar, which had already been occupied. The fleet had been resting here for several months. It fought a battle with the British fleet before, and the damage was not small. The British put a lot of warships here. They were added one after another after the first battle, but they were familiar with the hydrological conditions here.

However, the countries below are full of robbers, which cannot be compared. Their glory and halo, their strength has disappeared in the two British and French wars against the colonies, and in the expulsion of the New Kingdom, but Zhang Siyuan of the New Kingdom Never dare to underestimate the threat of this new country composed of mobs from Western countries.

In addition, there are Spanish colonies in Central America, which are embedded in the land of the New Kingdom from North America to South America like a stinky piece of shit, and in South America, the colonies of the Spanish, French, and other countries in the West still exist, It cannot be said that the New Kingdom is the only one.

Now the New Kingdom doesn’t want to look for any sense of presence in the West anymore, so they shifted their strategic focus back to the empire, wanting to return to the blood of the Chinese Empire, the leadership of the Chinese Empire, and only in this way can the Han people overseas Become a country similar to the descendants of the Han people around China, forgetting their ancestors, becoming a running dog of Western countries, and desperately fighting the empire.

Inheritance and culture have been separated from the mainland of the empire, and everything is false. After so many years of inheritance and education for the Han people, Zhang Siyuan and the others discovered that the environment has the greatest impact on them. Being close to the West, coupled with the failure and vacillation of the new Qin Dynasty, made People in the New Kingdom actually tended to think of themselves as Westerners rather than Han Chinese in the Eastern Empire.

In short, Zhang Siyuan of the New Kingdom realized that he still needs to become an imperial man so that these people can be united under one banner and become a Han Chinese group. At the same time, he also needs to go back to save the empire again and continue the empire's 200-year dynastic history.

It is a very difficult and careful job to find a way to go back, safely connect with the empire, let the Han people of the New Kingdom accept the empire, and let the empire accept the Han people of the New Kingdom who have fled for more than 100 years.
