Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

The endless sky. ∏∈top∏∈point∏∈small∏∈ says,

Infinitely extending ocean.

If it weren’t for the chromatic aberration caused by the twisted light between Rayleigh scattering and water refraction and the existence of floating white clouds, I almost forgot to connect the two to the horizon on the other side of the world, engulfed by the grand “infinity”.

In this blue sea and sky, dotted with a series of large and small emerald islands.

Solomon Islands. This jewel of the Southern Ocean has made every traveler who travels through this area of ​​the ocean express its sincere admiration and was overwhelmed by the mighty power that shaped this fairyland. The elves who have a nearly paranoid pursuit of the beauty of nature are deeply trapped in it and cannot even extricate themselves.

Brenhill does not deny the partial correctness of this statement, but she is more aware that the reason why Alfheim values ​​it is to build a large number of facilities, such as electronic surveillance equipment, airport runways, military ports, docks, military camps, and submarine caves. ...Not for enjoying the beautiful scenery.

The Solomon Islands deviates from the main line of the existing commercial waterway, and its location happens to form a huge triangle with Charlemagne and the extremely colony. Using this as a base during wartime, the navy and air forces of the Defense Force can easily cut off the connection between Charlemagne's homeland and overseas colonies, preventing Charlemagne from obtaining overseas resources.

All along, it is the aviation warships and submarines that carry out such raid missions in the strategic planning of the Defense Forces. In the near future, more "regular" forces will join this sequence of combat systems.

Looking at the distant dock, Brenhill threw a complicated glance at the large surface ship that was being formed, and the feeling of trance flashed across his body in an instant.

The Defense Navy Naval Ship Design Committee is a lair of giant ship artillery. Five portraits of monster battleships with 406㎜ main guns in 6 units and four 800㎜ main guns in double units can be seen everywhere. For the fundamentalists of the large ship giant artillery, "The caliber is the truth, the quantity is justice," the design and construction of a super giant ship with pipes all over it is almost the only meaning of their lives. Everything else is ridiculous evil.

But just as all idealists have to face reality after all, for fanatics and naval engineers of large ships and artillery, the highest commander and budget are their lingering nightmares. Li Lin’s attitude has always been clear: what is the trouble with the 46 roots of the wooden boat? Those of you who like to ponder over others, expecting to build miracles day and night, give me all to go to Africa as admirers! A budget-grabbing Air Force Army has a clear stand: the future war is our business, and the Navy has no chance to show it. Simply cut the submarine in half and give us room to expand the army...

Forced by the form, the engineers were forced to change their minds. During meditation, I don’t know who copied a book of economics, and I was immediately inspired from the first page—Apocalypse called “Diminishing Marginal Utility”.

The so-called diminishing marginal utility means that the utility of unit resource input to product output is continuously decreasing in production. In short, the less money is spent on the same item. The higher the benefit of each penny, the more the money is spent, the lower the benefit of unit money. For shipbuilding, the significance is that a large ship may not be cost-effective.

After being inspired, naval engineers suddenly discovered that there were still a lot of tricks in the frame delineated by the highest commander.

The Navy's current strategic policy is "the existence of the Navy to carry out the raid mission." This may not always be the case, as domestic demand increases and colonial development deepens. Yalfheim also needs to maintain its own commercial waterways and overseas colonies, which will inevitably conflict with the marine interests of other countries. In this type of conflict, submarines and air warships are difficult to play a role. In addition, even for pure attack fleets, it is difficult to ensure that they encounter unarmed merchant fleets without escorts, and once encounter **** fleets. It is necessary to solve the annoying shepherd first, and then let go of hunting the merchant ships like the flock.

Considering the above requirements, the conclusion is clear. The Guards need not only an assault ship aimed at killing merchant ships, but also a frigate that can kill merchant ships, and a "cruiser killer" that can destroy enemy cruisers in an island battle.

The idea itself is no problem. But when the engineers put it into practice, they still couldn't help entraining private goods. The first "cruiser killer", design code "o-class large cruiser", its design indicators are: standard displacement of 31652 tons, maximum speed of 33.5 knots, equipped with six 380㎜ main guns (three twins), eight 105 ㎜ anti-aircraft guns, 8 730 near-anti-aircraft guns, 20 20-㎜ anti-aircraft guns, and 2 6-unit 533㎜ torpedo launchers. The thickness of its armored belt in the engine room and ammunition depot is 190㎜, and the rest is 100㎜ thick, which can resist the direct bombardment of naval guns with calibers below 210㎜.

According to the design of the designers and the Navy Staff, the strategy for the use of large o-class cruisers should be the same as the target of their killing: the enemy cruiser: scattered on the vast sea, a single ship sailing, or with light cruisers, destroyers Form a small formation to take charge of condemnation and sentinel missions, protect your country's maritime transportation lines, and eliminate enemy cruisers and private pirate ships engaged in breaking engagements or **** missions at sea.

It should be said that this "faster than me is stronger than me, and faster than me is faster than me" tactics and design ideas are in line with actual needs. With the high design indicators, the o-class large cruiser crushes a vote of sail warships. with no doubt. However, it is precisely because of this performance index, or 30,000 tons of hull and 380㎜ main gun, that this design was shot by the highest commander. The sentence "380 bombarded wooden ship? Is this the latest method of flower-style defeat?" The design draft was rejected, and its three-year construction cycle also made the Navy feel that it was too long. If something happens during the period, the Navy will face The dilemma of no ship available. So, the large O-class cruiser died.

Later, I tried a displacement of 700 tons, a maximum speed of 33 knots, and a p-class pocket battleship plan with 6 280㎜ main guns; a displacement of 46900 tons, a maximum speed of 34 knots, and two 3 280㎜ main guns were installed on the bow. The 197-meter-long flight deck is laid, two electromagnetic catapults are installed, 80 attack aircraft and 90 mds are installed in the "Arctic Ocean Cruiser Program"; the displacement is 27,000 tons, and the maximum speed is 34 knots. The "large cruiser b plan" equipped with three 3-pack 305㎜ main guns... and so on, and other plans are different, but they are forced to give up because of these and other problems. The event finally came to an end after Li Lin, who had lost patience with the Naval Ship Design Committee, personally instructed the indicators of the new warship.

With a full-load displacement of 10,000 tons, a main gun caliber of 155 mm, and a maximum speed of more than 30 knots-around the snail shell set by Li Lin, the engineers drilled in to study how to make this dojo. finally. The code-named "k-class cruiser" was released and passed smoothly. After the New Year, when the Solomon Base Shipyard begins to cut the first steel plate, the future appearance of this cruiser will be presented in the following form: the waterline is 182.22 meters long, the standard displacement is 9767 tons, and it is equipped with 5 3-pack 155㎜ main The gun has a side armor thickness of 100㎜ and a maximum speed of 32.5 knots. In order to put 5 turrets on the hull, the K-class cruiser piled up the bow turret group in a zigzag shape. That is, the No. 2 turret and No. 1 turret adopt a knapsack design, and the muzzle points to the bow, and the lower installed turret 3 points to the bow.

There is no doubt that this is a large surface combatant with the highest performance since the advent of the navy in this world. Its firepower, speed, and protection are far ahead of foreign counterparts, whether it is a raid or a fleet engagement. Based on this type of ship, the ship design committee also proposed a displacement of 11,000 tons. The maximum speed is 35.5 knots, and all four 210㎜ main guns are installed in the bow. The "Reconnaissance Air Cruiser Program" equipped with four 3-unit 533㎜ torpedo launchers and eight water-borne reconnaissance aircraft is currently under consideration, and there is a high probability of passing it depending on the situation. In order to highlight pride and commemorate the first-class large-scale surface ships, the Defense Navy gave the cruiser the first ship a special name-the Königsberg.

Now in the language of humans and orcs. "Königsberg" is already a dead word, and only a few words of the ancient literature shed one of the earliest cities built by elves. During the period of the old Kingdom of Gilmania, King Frederick III wore the crown in the hall of Königsberg Castle On his head, he then crowned his wife. With this "Coronation of Königsberg". The Kingdom of Gilmania has begun to enter its glorious peak years. In this sense, "Königsberg" is one of the words that can best recall the good memories of the elves.

But from the moment the kingdom collapsed, the term was associated with "humiliation". Not to mention the long-cherished Holocaust legends, only about 10 buildings from the age of the Gilmanian Kingdom still exist in the city now renamed Kaliningrad. Only 4 of the 34 temples of the past are preserved; the old city gate is still sandwiched between thick walls. Even the magic of the barbarian priests cannot destroy them, the old concert hall (stadthall) is still there, and the old market area It is now the central market of Kaliningrad. For those elves who died in the siege of the orc army, there is no tomb or monument belonging to them. In the countryside around the city, about 300 villages and towns that were alive in the past have been completely abandoned. The former "hometown of fish and rice" completely disappeared in the dust of history.

Königsberg, which gave this warship a name that represents the sadness of losing its hometown, is almost self-explanatory. Right now that piece of land has not yet become a subject of disputes over sovereign territory, and for a period of time in the future, Alfheim will not sacrifice the "since ancient times" killing weapon. But Königsberg is undoubtedly a thorn stuck between the elves and the orcs. Sometime in the future, it will provoke the sensitive nerves of both sides and evolve into a potential conflict.

Not even afterwards, there are now a handful of radicals in the country who are all day loudly clamoring to "take back all the territory of the former kingdom." These include the Principality-controlled areas of Brutz, such as Königsberg and Memel. This group of **** guys completely disregarded the current geopolitical environment and spread the delusions of chauvinism and national socialism everywhere. Unless the consul took measures to prevent the spread of poison, I am afraid that the efforts over the years will be put into practice. Time will be reversed to the miserable past.

Things need to be done step by step in order, and hurricane advancement is not only unsightly, but also easy to pull hatred. Charlie Mann is a good specimen in this respect, and only a fool with a broken head will go along the path of the loser.

However, many people were blinded by the illusion of appearance, thinking that Charlemagne was only in a little trouble, far from the end of the road, but trapped in various problems and unable to move forward. The situation in the world will gradually ease in confrontation and stalemate, and the days of peace will continue for a long time.

It is not troublesome to cure this "peace disease", and soon the Charlemagne will wake people up.

"The advancement of the Royal Charlemagne's naval maneuver force is faster than we thought. In addition to the four airship motherships that were completed at the end of last year, such as the Bayan, Xiafei, Clemenceau, and St. Paul, With the Phanweil ​​and Shire, it was almost impossible for them to put into high-intensity training immediately after they became an army."

"Is there 6 large-scale air carriers? This time the attack or the air defense self-defense has increased the chances of winning."

After taking the report in Li Lin's hands, I read it and Brenhill nodded slightly.

The odds she mentioned refer to the special battle of the Scapa Bay battle conducted in the naval building of the Royal Charlemagne House three months ago. Tourville personally served as the commander of the "Red Army" (simulated Charlemagne Army) and the First Fleet. Commander Lieutenant General Abraham Dikener served as the commander of the "Blue Army" (simulated Albion Army). The Red Army was discovered by the reconnaissance troops while approaching the enemy base. Although Tourville quickly dispatched an attack team to sink and damage more than 40% of the enemy’s warships, the counterattack also caused the Red Army’s 4 large airship motherships. Three ships were sunk and one was hit hard. The mobile unit was equivalent to the annihilation of the whole army.

It was at this time that the entry of the Phanweil ​​and Shire eased the plight of Tourville: the air strike force and the mobile air defense force have been strengthened, and the three northwestern ships with top-heavy weight, slower speed and less carrying capacity Wind class-Northwest Wind, Tornell, and Dixmede do not have to take the risk of long journeys, and can be used for operations against Normandy and Brittany. At this point, the last point of opposition within the Charlemagne's navy has also disappeared. From this perspective, without the joining of the two large aircraft carriers, the surprise attack on Scarpa Bay will become a problem.

However, the addition of the Pan Le Wei and Shire was three months ago. If the carrier-based attack team formation and training were started at this time, it would not be able to keep up with the scheduled time for the month of war. Therefore, as early as last year ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the work of training flight crews and ground crews for its affiliated air teams was fully carried out at the land base.

It can be said that Charlemagne has done everything it can to prepare for the upcoming war. Its depth and detail are amazing, and it is a perfect example from a tactical perspective.

"It's just the level of tactics. From a strategic point of view, this is the door to the abyss... Since they are all ready, we are almost ready to participate in the carnival."

"Are you going to go home?"

"Yes, everything is about to be done. There is no need to stay here again. Besides, during this time when I was away, some guys seemed to be restless with their cleverness..."

The bangs that gently lifted the forehead-set off by the outstanding looks, such an ordinary movement is particularly beautiful.

"I allow comments, but I will never allow rebellion, and even my doppelganger is no exception."

Faced with a tone that seemed to suggest amusement as freely as possible, Brunnhill didn't feel anything wrong, as if it were justified. (To be continued...)
