One Piece: Wings of Liberty

Chapter 72 being revised

Welcome!The sky is hazy and drizzling. Because Leon is the captain, there is a shelter set up where he stands. The sailors who are responsible for gathering the number of people over there, and many technicians are also in the rain. Standing there makes the entire aft deck of the Iowa ship look extremely busy.

Many people have faith, and relying on their firm faith can continue fighting without fear of death. Since in the previous life, in the 21st century, some soldiers in the Middle East were able to clamor with faith and high-tech troops armed to the teeth, then in the world of One Piece Someone can fight a powerful opponent with their faith.

There are many people who have no faith. They don't believe that some people can face the enemy's sword with their heads held high, and they don't believe that some people can survive torture without revealing any information that is not considered a leak at all. These people cannot understand that kind of persistence and think that only idiots would do that kind of thing.

In film and television theater scenes, facing the enemy's thousands of troops, one raises one's weapons, faces the enemy's whip and branding iron, smiles in the sky, and waits for the enemy with bayonets to approach and pulls the grenade in his arms. These are The image has become a symbol that has been used countless times to challenge the audience's tolerance.

Leon once had faith, and his faith was himself. He felt that he could survive on his own. In such a dangerous sea, he had no other belief except him and the cold weapon [Heng Dao] in his hand.

However, he found that he began to rely on other partners, which was a very dangerous signal. At least deep in his heart, he felt that this was a very dangerous beginning. He is no longer a lonely soul, but a living person.

He trusts his executive captain [Chelsea] because this trustworthy guy can complete all kinds of incredible statistics. ; He trusted his damage control mate [York City]. Those sophisticated equipment and maintenance were completed very well, and he completed the impossible task in the process of building a warship.

He trusts the deputy captain of the entire fleet's power source. Enel, which exists as a mobile nuclear power plant, belongs to the second largest force of the Wings of Freedom Pirates.

At this time, Enelu was waiting on the deck. He would receive his exclusive flying weapon soon. So at this time, Enelu seemed a little excited. Next to him, York City said: "I have never sat on such a thing, so I can't feel the flying feeling. If I are given a few more assistants, It will speed up my school selection process more than a little faster.”

Chelsea just stood next to Leon holding the folder, calm and calm. There is no trace of him being the kind of calm executive captain, but after such a long time at sea, the original resentment and romance are no longer visible in her body. She looks like a stranger from afar. Near aura.

The new ships are good in every aspect. They have more advanced and accurate aiming systems, wider internal spaces and ammunition reserves. They have strong power and powerful cannons. Their armor is so thick that it makes the enemy desperate. Nowadays, almost no one can threaten the great shipping route - Iowa and Des Moines. In gun battles with other ships on the sea, they are almost invincible.

Leon suddenly felt that he had found the reason why he couldn't be happy, so he smiled bitterly and let himself relax.

Or, to put it another way. Leon began to question the current trend of war development that he was pursuing, and there was less and less need for his kind of personal bravery. No matter how good he is in fighting and how cold-blooded he is, he can't make up for the gap in weapons and equipment, nor can he catch up with the changes in combat methods. While he was practicing [Taijutsu] without blinking an eye, an invulnerable steel behemoth had been built on Thalia Island.

What an ironic scene: a man who has painstakingly cultivated his killing skills for several years, and gained a cold heart by degenerating into a devil, is unable to face tens of thousands of terrifying weapons. Could it be that times have become so strange that it makes Leon fearful?

He is afraid that if things continue like this, one day, the cards in his hand will not be able to control the new world. If the advanced weapons and equipment are stolen by the Navy, the Navy's human weapons [Peaceist] and other weapons and equipment can be completely brought closer and free. There is a gap in combat power among the Wings Pirates.

Eniro raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked arrogantly: "Is this flying weapon finished?" York City wiped the slight smile on his forehead, "Well, this is a control lever. It takes some getting used to when driving for the first time. , here is the push control..."

"Hey, the vice-captain doesn't seem to be listening. I hope he won't fall off while flying this [aircraft], otherwise you will have to go to the sea to salvage our vice-captain."

So as the sailors pushed the aircraft onto the special taxiing track, Enero used its abilities, and as the aircraft input electrical energy, the engine roared and roared.

Enelu frowned and recalled the sequence of operations: "Humph! It is indeed an exclusive flying weapon created for this god, and his temper is exactly the same as mine!"

The aircraft engine vibrated with a powerful hurricane... Bang! As the aircraft continued to increase speed on the gliding track, the landing gear seemed to become lighter and lighter. Finally, with a slight sound, the wings of the aircraft left the stern deck, and the entire aircraft took off.

The corner of Leon's mouth raised elegantly, and he connected the phone inside the Enero aircraft: "Now, climb to a higher altitude and experience the feeling of flying. Adjust the flight attitude more. The altitude is temporarily set at 10000 meters. Master the distance between you and me. Now let’s start our routine drills..."

"Hahaha... I, my God, like this kind of flying weapon more and more. I wonder if your cannonballs can keep up with my speed."

Routine drill begins

"Firing completed!" With a loud shout, the loaders began to get busy in the small metal space. The huge breech block was pulled open from the inside, and a wave of hot air filled the air from the barrel. The machinery began to roar, the motor began to rotate, the chain began to roll, and the entire space was filled with harsh sounds.

Soon, a shell rose up from the steel channel under the feet. It was pushed onto the transport elevator from a few dozen meters below the feet, and then passed over the armored protective partition as the engine rolled. There is also a thicker main armor layer of the battleship, which comes to the inside of the main gun turret.

"Loader!" Another shout rang out, and several sailors hurriedly began to use simple hoisting machinery to unload the heavy shell from the elevator. They shouted slogans and placed the shell on the loading track. superior.

Then with the operation of the electric machinery, the artillery shell was pushed into the barrel of the 406 mm caliber cannon by a metal rod with a soft head, and the long ejector rod followed the mechanical movement regularly. It moved repeatedly and returned to its original resting position.

"Charge!" A shell of such a huge caliber is not a whole shell, nor is it a separate warhead and gun. The gun required for this shell is basically very similar to the explosive pack. The loader needs to neatly stack the packs of launching charges according to the range and other requirements, and then push the ejector rod into the barrel again. middle.

Soon, these propellant charges were neatly placed on the loading track. The reason why all large-caliber artillery cannot fire continuously and must return to a fixed angle for loading is mainly because the ammunition of these huge artillery must rely on a complex loading assistance system, and this system cannot follow the pitching movement of the cannon.

"Crack!" With a series of noises, these propellant charges were pushed into the barrel, and then the two loaders stiffly folded the loading track with left and right movements. After all, it takes a while to launch the artillery. The recoil distance, if the slide rail is not retracted, it will be smashed to pieces by the recoil of the artillery.

?"The No. 1 artillery is loaded! Ready!" A sailor who was loading his hands reported loudly to the phone after returning to his position.

The shooting correction sergeant over there also put down the phone bug in his hand almost at the same time, and loudly repeated the shooting instructions he had just received: "The angle remains unchanged! Correct 0 to 2 to the left, and wait for the firing order!"

The artillery angle operation team not far behind him repeated his orders loudly, and while repeating, he fiddled with the power-assisted instrument panel with his hands.

"The launch angle remains unchanged, correct it to the left by 0~2... ready!"

?As they shouted, the tail of the No. 1 main battery gun began to sink little by little, which also marked that the muzzle of the gun was rapidly rising. After returning to the same height as when it was fired, the cannon waited there motionless.

"Fire!" Following the order, a huge roar came from outside the deck. The entire battleship shook at the earth-shattering roar, and everyone involuntarily narrowed their eyes.

The gun exploded, forming thick smoke that covered the sky and spewed out from the 406 mm diameter muzzle. A breeze even blew on the nearby sea, and the huge shells cut through the sky and flew towards It hit the target in the distance - and then it finally landed on the sea not far from the target, and exploded to form a water column dozens of stories high.

In the firing command post near the command tower on the top of the battleship, Leon put down the telescope in his hand, grabbed the phone bug next to him and loudly reported his observation results into the microphone: "No. 0 artillery! Near miss! Height correction 1~ !”

On the bridge, the deputy captain of the Des Moines heavy cruiser frowned and stared helplessly at the sea in the distance. This kind of confrontation exercise between two ships was the most effective way to improve the combat effectiveness of naval battles.

You must know that the artillery combat level of the Wings of Liberty Pirates is actually very poor. The ammunition for this kind of killer weapon is expensive and the firing life of the barrel is relatively short. Who would normally practice shooting with a weapon of this level? ah? Therefore, the artillery combat level of the Wings of Freedom pirates is also a level that basically relies on faith - of course, how to improve combat effectiveness without conducting [exercises]? Then again, but when firing cannons and fighting each other on the swaying sea, who is not fighting with faith?

Des Moines obviously has more faith. They just hit the tail of [Iowa] with a training bomb. Although it did not cause any fatal damage, this is the only time that the two sides have hit their opponent so far. The Iowa battleship relied on its numerical advantage in artillery fire and used dense secondary guns to sieve the sea near the Des Moines heavy cruiser, while Des Moines fought back desperately.

"Boom!" In the midst of anxiety, the No. 2 artillery fire fired again. This shell also did not make any contribution. It flew over the bridge of the battleship Iowa and landed in the sea on the other side. It was still a huge explosion, and it was still a stick. The spectacular water column, the battleship Keyihua, floats on the sea so confidently.
