The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

"Battle alert?"The British governor, who was awakened from his sleep, looked at the officer in front of him with a dull face and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, the German and French fleets have been spotted, and they are attacking our port." The officer who came to report said loudly.

Upon hearing this, the British Governor said with a sullen face:"Damn it, why did they only discover it now? Where is our radar? What are they doing, why didn't they give us an early warning?"

Normally, such a large target should have been discovered by radar a long time ago, how could it be discovered only now?

""Governor, the radar malfunctioned, so there was no early warning." The officer said with a bitter face.

Hearing that the radar had malfunctioned, the British governor's face became even uglier. He suspected that all this was a conspiracy, otherwise why would the radar break down at this time? But he didn't have time to investigate these things now. He was now thinking about how to defeat the German army.

"Bastard, why don't you send someone to repair it?"The British Governor said angrily

"It was sent, but it couldn't be repaired and remained in a snowflake state."The officer explained

"Damn it! Order the coastal defense forces to counterattack immediately and never let them cross the channel."The British governor's face darkened when he heard this and he immediately ordered:

"Yes!"

On the other side, with the help of the searchlight, the German and French fleets opened fire.

The three triple-mounted 45-caliber 406mm main guns of the main naval guns smashed directly towards the searchlight of Yanshan.

""Alert, alert, enemy ships are firing at us, be careful to avoid them." The searchlight soldiers shouted and cursed, how did they appear here?

How come the radar unit didn't have any warning?

The accuracy of this kind of ship is not very high. It can be said that it is completely based on luck. Often, dozens of shots cannot hit the enemy.

However, the shooting level of the French fleet is obviously higher than that of the German sailors. This is the accumulation of foundation and has nothing to do with whether the warships are advanced.

What is tested is the shooting level of the gunners. It must be said that the shooting level of the French fleet is obviously very high. Half of the ten shells hit the target.

Such a hit rate is definitely very high. At least the current hit rate of the German army is only three out of ten, or even two, and sometimes even one. From this, it can be seen that the shooting level of the German army is indeed very low.

""Boom!" The Richelieu-class battleship, eight 380mm main guns, fired at the same time. This scene was absolutely spectacular, illuminating half of the sea surface.

Here, the Richelieu-class battleship is the only battleship preserved by France. The rest of the battleships were attacked and sunk by the Royal Fleet.

The standard displacement of the ship is 38,500 tons, and the full load displacement is 47,548 tons. The front deck is equipped with 8 380mm main guns, the rear deck is arranged with 9 152mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns, and there are 12 100mm anti-aircraft guns on both sides of the hull. It has dense attack Firepower.

The ship is driven by 6 supercharged boiler steam engines with a total power of 157,000 horsepower, and the battleship speed reaches 32 knots.

The original purpose of the design was to fight a decisive battle with the Royal Fleet, and at the same time it has escort, commerce breaking, land fire support, suppression missions, etc.

It has the following characteristics: high speed, but low endurance requirements, main guns capable of dealing with Italy's new battleships, strong horizontal armor belts, and strong air defense capabilities.

To be honest, this battleship is indeed an excellent battleship, with good maneuverability and protection, and all front-mounted guns. It is conducive to concentrating firepower, while the defect of insufficient firepower coverage on the sides and rear is compensated by many secondary guns and the high rotation speed of the main gun.

Although the caliber of the main gun is only 380mm, the performance of the gun is very superior, mainly reflected in the large amount of propellant.

The production plan of the ship at that time was four ships, but two were sunk in the dock, and the other one is still docked in the dock and has not been completed, but construction has started recently.

According to August, this battleship can be exempted from part of the war compensation.

Of course, compared with the North Carolina-class battleship, the performance of the Richelieu-class battleship is better. The ship's performance was average, but having one more battleship right now would only bring benefits and no disadvantages.

So when Dönitz learned that a Richelieu battleship would join the navy, he was still very excited. With it, at least he wouldn't be too embarrassed when facing the American Navy in the Atlantic. Although he couldn't fight, at least he wouldn't be timid.

The huge recoil made the entire Richelieu battleship tremble backwards, but the huge hull successfully buffered the recoil.

The shells drew a graceful arc in the air with tracers, and when the searchlight soldiers saw this arc, they were instantly shocked.

"Damn it, the naval guns are coming towards us, run"

"Run!"

All the searchlight soldiers rushed to the back. Facing the 380mm main gun, staying where they were would be a death sentence. One shot would destroy a basketball court.

""Boom!" Soon the first shell landed at the location of the searchlight, and the searchlight was instantly covered by huge smoke.

Countless screams were heard, and soon disappeared again.

The possibility of such a large-caliber heavy artillery surviving is very low.

Especially these French navy are still full of anger. The French navy used to be one of the five major navies, but it was attacked by the Royal Fleet and directly became a third-rate country, even worse than Italy.

At this time, facing the British army, they would not be soft-hearted at all, and they could even play for a long time, with a very high hit rate.

"Well done, beat up these sons of bitches"

"Let the people of Nelson see how powerful we are"

"Come on, beat these sons of bitches."

On the Richelieu-class battleship, the ammunition handlers quickly stuffed the shells into the main gun barrels, while the gunners calculated and aimed.

Although it was about to dawn, the searchlights had to be destroyed before that, so as not to give the enemy's coastal defense artillery any chance.

After all, the caliber of the coastal defense artillery was not low, and the battleship could still withstand a few rounds, but a destroyer or cruiser would definitely be hit by one.

""Boom!" At this time, there was another round of salvos. This time, the accuracy was a little off, and it directly hit the British bunker on the rock.

The huge power generated by the explosion instantly blew away the cement bunker, and the British soldiers inside were shocked to death.

For hundreds of years, the British army has been building the Strait of Gibraltar. It can be said that the entire Gibraltar has become a huge fortification community.

The power of 380mm naval guns is absolutely insane. No matter how strong the offensive on land is, it is all slag in front of large-caliber naval guns. The

British soldiers on the rock were very uncomfortable. The bunkers that they were proud of in the past had no power to fight back against the naval guns.

More importantly, from time to time, there were German 406mm naval guns to scare people. Although the hit rate was average, from time to time several naval guns exploded in the distance, which still scared many people and their morale dropped rapidly.

"Governor, the enemy's firepower is too strong. We need reinforcements."

"Bastards, get Fleet H to support immediately, don't let them cross the channel." The British Governor shouted loudly.

"yes!"
