Red Alert 1895

Chapter 500: Friction in the South China Sea (Part 2)

A British warship, someone on the British warship asked: "Captain, why do we have to ask them to give us a 21-round salute! Their warship is ten times the size of ours, will they agree?"

"Huh, this is the rule set by our British Empire. No country dares to violate the rules of our world's most powerful country. They must give us a 21-round salute, otherwise it will be extremely dissatisfied with our British Empire Respect. So, if they don’t fire the 21-round salute, it will be a provocation to our British Empire, so we will never let them go. How can they be compared with our British Empire, a country of yellow-skinned monkeys? So they must give us the highest respect!" said the British captain.

And that subordinate couldn't help but feel very helpless towards these British Empire-minded officers. These guys have their eyes too high, and they look down on those foreign countries. Even though Taiwan's naval strength is already among the top in the world, they still look at Taiwan from the perspective of the past, thinking that Taiwan is just a region of a small and weak country. But they don't know at all that Taiwan is no longer a weak country and region, and has already become an object that even the United Kingdom must respect. But they still treat Taiwan with the eyes of the past, so can they not fail?

Therefore, this cruiser will inevitably pay the price for their captain's arrogance.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The twelve cannons of the battleship Xuanyuan in the distance fired together, and then twelve high-explosive bombs exploded near the British warship.

"Boom..."

A series of explosions sounded, and there was a large splash of water near the British cruiser. And the British cruiser immediately began to be staggered by the waves caused by the violent shell explosion, and the warship sailors on it also lost their balance of gravity, and then rolled on the warship.

"Bastards, these Chinese people actually fired on our warships of the British Empire. This is a declaration of war on our British Empire!" the British captain said angrily.

On the battleship Xuanyuan, the captain Chen Fa immediately began to order: "Recalculate the yuan. Then try to blow them up once!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the elements of those cannons also began to count. And this Sword-class battleship inherits the design idea of ​​the Dreadnought-class battleship. They adopt the same design scheme of full-heavy artillery, which ensures the power of the artillery. In the past, the navy used artillery of different calibers, and they used artillery of different calibers to deal with enemies of different distances and types. However, this situation prevents them from achieving very great results, and history has also proved that such different artillery calibers will inevitably lead to insufficient firepower density and low single hit rate. In naval battles, time is the most precious thing, and the faster you can tilt the more firepower. That is the common tactic of battleships in this era. In this era, there are no highly accurate missiles, and the hit rate of artillery is very low, the highest is only a few percent. Therefore, whoever can fire a sufficient number of shells at the maximum speed will greatly increase the probability of hitting. But it is possible to fire enough shells before the enemy counterattacks, make up this percentage, and then they can all hit the enemy.

In order to make up this percentage, some have increased the range of the artillery, but this efficiency is not high, because the human aiming at several thousand meters is the limit. So in this case, the double-mounted and triple-mounted artillery came out to increase the density of the artillery. And can reduce the weight of the artillery. The size of the cannon reduces the calculation time of elements. And this full-heavy artillery is actually to reduce the calculation time of various elements. Let the artillery firing process reduce the time. And all heavy artillery fires at a target together, and the number of shells fired within a certain period of time is sufficient, and then the percentage can be made up as quickly as possible, so that the enemy can be hit in time, and the enemy is hit first To achieve a preemptive strike situation.

"The second round, start!" Chen Fa shouted.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Twelve artillery pieces began to fire violently, and then the shells rushed towards the two thousand ton cruiser.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Three large-caliber artillery shells fell on the 2,000-ton cruiser, and the huge artillery was powerful enough to blow up the 2,000-ton battleship.

"It's amazing, actually the second round of artillery sank a battleship!" Someone immediately said in surprise.

"Yes! This new type of battleship is really powerful!" Chen Fa said.

As for the Chinese fleet in the UK, the cruiser should also return according to the agreed time. Then they were also very surprised that they didn't encounter the cruiser. This shocked them all.

"General, what's going on, why didn't our cruiser come back?" asked the adjutant of the Chinese fleet commander.

And the commander of the Chinese fleet also muttered: "Yes! Why haven't they come back yet? According to the agreement, they should all come back!"

Soon, time passed by every minute and every second, and they didn't know what happened, and they didn't come back. This makes them all feel worried, because they have left the port for a long time, but they have not been able to send back any news, and they have not returned on time at the specified time, so the probability of a problem is very high. , I am afraid they are all very dangerous. And this 2,000-ton cruiser did not install a radio station, because this 2,000-ton cruiser was too small to accommodate a radio station. In this era, the weight of each radio station is calculated in tons, and the nautical radio station requires a lot of power, so the size and weight of the radio station are definitely not small. Generally speaking, there is only one radio station in a fleet. A warship of 10,000 tons cannot fit a radio station. So this 2,000-ton warship can't fit the radio station, so they can't communicate with each other.

And when Chen Fa returned to the port of Taipei, he immediately met Wang Guorui.

"Master Wang, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life. I sank the British warship that dared to invade Taiwan. However, I did not catch anyone alive. The soldiers on those warships were all killed by high-explosive bombs." Chen said.

The 2,000-ton battleship was hit by three high-explosive bombs with a caliber of more than 300 mm, and it was completely blown into several pieces. This 2,000-ton cruiser has already had a serious generation gap with this type of battleship, even several generations. And how could those "four-handed" warships of the British Chinese fleet be opponents of the latest artillery? Under the hit of that kind of super-caliber artillery, the armor of the cruiser of more than 2,000 tons could not withstand such fierce artillery fire at all, and it was blown into several pieces. As for the British Navy on that warship, it is impossible to survive. Because this kind broke into several sections, and the power of that artillery was enough to burn them. After all, for a high-explosive bomb with a caliber of more than 300 millimeters, the explosion radius is enough to reach tens of meters, and an area as large as a football field will be killed. This kind of warship also relies on armor to protect the soldiers. Once the warship is torn apart as a whole, it is absolutely impossible for the soldiers to survive under the explosion of the powerful artillery.

"Okay, you must remember this time, the British fired first this time, understand?" Wang Guorui said.

And that Chen Fa rolled his eyes, and immediately said: "Yes, the British fired first this time, so we were forced to fight back."

Could Chen Fa not know what Wang Guorui meant? In fact, the responsibility was shifted to the British, so anyway, of course, he couldn't admit that he fired the gun first, and the other party's people had nothing to prove. As long as he and his subordinates kept their mouths tight, no one would know. Even if the British know what to do, this kind of thing is justified by the public, and they are justified by the public. Anyway, they can't make a living, and they can't do anything about it. So as long as the British fired the cannon first, there would be no problem in Taiwan. Anyway, the party who fires first must be rude and does not occupy morality. But morality is a manifestation of strength, and strength is morality. Taiwan has no survivors, so the British are simply dumb and suffer from eating coptis~www.readwn.com~ Very good, very good , you are very smart and have a future! It seems that you should be able to exchange the two bars and four stars on the list for a golden star! " Wang Guorui said.

And Chen Fa's eyes flashed with excitement, because he was going to become a general. A few months ago, he had just been promoted to a senior colonel and became the captain of Taiwan's most important warship, but now it has only been a few months, and he has been promoted again to become a major general, which is like the second generation of navy generals The first person to become a general. But this time Wang Guorui promised to give him a general star, that is, to become a major general. A major general Wang Guorui can still make his own decision, so he doesn't have to worry about being rejected.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, I will definitely die for Mr. Wang in the future!" Chen Fa said.

Faced with the attraction of becoming a general, Chen Fa soon began to swear allegiance, and he might become the actual person in charge of the navy in the future, that is, the chief of staff of the navy. He may become the second-generation commander of the navy, and this prospect is definitely very promising. Next, if he can become the commander of a fleet, it will definitely be of great help to his future.

"Okay, this time we must make the villain file a complaint first!" Wang Guorui thought. (to be continued)
