Chapter 4 The Once Gold Bug Imperial Navy
January 1, 2010.
Three months ago, as the Lanhull Sea Cannon City intervened in the war, the attack on the north side of the Blue Gold Guworm "后" was curbed. At this time, an important flaw of Jue Ying was exposed: her maritime power was very weak.
The huge fleet of the Golden Beetle Empire still existed in the era of Zhengxin.
There are a total of 232 warships with a speed-fired gun warships with an opening on the side, which is not considered a dreadnought. However, its huge scale is that the Burning Wheel cannot annihilate all of them within three months. If a squadron still exists in the sea, it will pose a threat to the Burning Wheel's lifeline.
But after the Zhengxin era, this huge fleet no longer existed.
After Zhengxin collapsed.
500,000 tons were directly left on the land bridge coastline, which was the Genghe River and the generals.
The 1.2 million tons of warships stayed in the harbor downstream of the Holy Points’ impact plains. Several princes beat the Regent while defending against each other, and this fleet belonged to them in name.
However, the Navy is a gold-swallowing beast, and this giant insect warship also has the same attributes. Not to mention the lifespan of the gun barrel required for daily training, the shells and various supplies are not mentioned. Even if the biological structure of the warship is consumed every day, it also requires twelve tons of food supplies.
In the state of warlords fighting, a large number of resources tilted towards the land. Such a huge fleet is called "Daily Day" and "Daily Earth".
It is common to keep the supplies behind the scenes.
In order to ensure the front line firepower, the ship's rapid-fire cannon was directly removed!
In the north, the royal civil war directly took over the port and packed all the gunners in the navy. After several years of war, all the gunners were in chaos.
The opposite is the burning wheel side.
After Zhengxin collapsed, there were still seventeen imperial warships escorting the Burning Wheel. Since the Locust family was involved in rebellion at that time, the fleet was in a wait-and-see state for a while.
After the great victory in Zixinhe.
The captains of the 17 warships accepted the employment of the rifle, ensuring the safety of the rifle channel.
Then as the number of escort fleets in the Burning Wheel increased, the hired fleet disbanded on its own.
The captains of 14 ships simply mortgaged the ship to Lanhun and invested in industry and commerce on Xiahong Island with loans. The crew members also broke up and joined the sea power of Lanhun. After all, Lanhun Navy's salary was high and the treatment was good.
These Golden Beetle Empire warships were not sent directly to the scrap factory because there were ship girls on it after all.
All the hulls were repaired and changed to tugs with high operating costs, and paid wages to the ship girls above. Some people think that the ramp is losing money, but time quickly proved that this is a national player-level move!
In the arrangement of the burning wheel, none of the captain, ship girl, sailor, and gunners suffer. Even if the warship owners and selling the warships is profitable.
Beginning in 108.
Zhengxin and the generals gradually mortgaged the warships to Zhouyou, and replaced them with tanks and artillery.
The fleet clusters of Golden Beetle Harbor basically all escaped. If they don’t escape, the ship girl must sleep when she is hungry, and the gunner and the captain must be arrested and the man must escape. With the money of the wheel-burning merchants, these ships replenished the materials for a single voyage and rushed out of the port directly.
So in this way, the empire's fleet collapsed, and then the sea control power that burned the wheel with money was bought.
Excellent sailors, symbionts (ship girls) who are familiar with the hydrology of the waterway, all work on the side of the Burning Roll.
...
In 109, when Jue Ying's Blue Gold Gu Nest appeared, the few prodigal brothers left her only the Depressed Port. Her own Gu Nest was built? Like the biological situation in nature, the larger the individual grows slowly. The huge fleet of the Golden Beetle Empire took decades to accumulate.
Faced with the giant sea rail cannon of the Burning Wheel, Jue Ying could only take advantage of the opportunity: he recruited a large number of civilian ships on the coastline, squeezed the host full of tumors into the hull, as if he was a biological aircraft carrier. This temporary fleet was so formed that he rushed towards the western sea area. It would not be possible to go there. Because the rail cannon of the Burning Wheel cannon could not be stopped from moving westward, the core area would be bombed.
So on November 4, 2019, the naval battle between the two sides was at the turning point on the left of the "公" coastline. The style of the two sides was as follows: a large number of electric mosquitoes began to fire at the igniting ships in the form of formations, and at the same time, the flying sickles also came from the sea. Jutland suddenly became Midway Island.
From a strategic perspective, this naval battle was a rifle attack, and the squadron almost poked Jue Ying's armpit. In terms of strategy, the blue insect tide was more proactive.
...
The Third Air Defense Fleet of the Burning Wheel, Armor No. 137, the airship. "Bang, bang", the plywood of the hull was pierced through holes. Of course, sparks were bounced on the shield of the air-speed fire cannon. The 30 grams of projectiles fired by the electric mosquitoes can penetrate the protection of the armored vehicles one thousand meters away. However, this was at sea, and the battle between the two sides was six thousand meters away.
An 80 mm caliber rapid-fire gun was spraying a warhead at a speed of four seconds, bombarding the annoying mosquitoes in the sky. With the cooperation of the scattered ships, the formation was located, which had knocked out more than eighty electric mosquitoes. The crew members in each hull had become eased from the beginning to the moment they were nervous.
The electric mosquitoes in the sky kept smoking and falling. With information coordination, the No. 137 became the "head" of the Herringbone Team, breaking the waves on the sea, cleaning the wreckage of the battlefield, and hooking the electric mosquitoes and flying sickles with hooks.
The seventh wave of air strike ended, and the density of blue insects and electric mosquitoes has changed from 49 waves at the beginning to 13 waves. Now, there is no movement on the sea surface.
Bai Yue, the captain of the fleet, looked at the chart, and there was no joy after victory on his face. He turned on the communication function on his helmet and began to report the situation of the naval battle to the rear.
Fifty minutes later, the formation formed a circular ship formation and began to return.
One hundred and eighty kilometers away, the host fleet that had lost almost all of its air power was slowly evacuating backwards. The only electric mosquitoes left in the sky were hovering and alert to the reconnaissance planes that burned the wheels in the distance.
The first naval battle between the Rising Wheel and the Golden Gu Insect, both sides retreated. No one sunks the other.
The reason for this result is very simple: the squadron sent by Ran Lun is just a destroyer. When shooting down a large number of electric mosquitoes, it was found that the opponent's main fleet was in an area 150 kilometers away, but he did not dare to move forward rashly, for fear of continuing to go deeper, and was hit by the shore-based air force. Ran Lun's core strategic goals at sea are the aircraft carrier reconnaissance system and the orbital fortress strike system. The destroyer needs to ensure the safety of these two goals.
As for the blue insect, it is too weak at sea. The electric mosquito seems to be air force and can be high and high, but in fact the range is limited. Moreover, the load is limited and the attack means are single. If it can carry a torpedo, it will not be like this. However, the electric mosquito has been established and the projectile cannot be aggravated.
However, the highest departments of both sides were very satisfied with the results of this wave of naval battle. Jueying from the Holy Kok Capital appointed his commander Bu Yu, the naval battle. This imperial sailor officer who was a fisherman, suddenly became an existence comparable to that of the empire's ten thousand men. For a moment, many nobles in the Holy Kok Capital made troubled sounds.
On the side of the burning wheel, the huge chimney of the No. 3 Giant Cannon City, like lonely smoke in the desert, pulled out a piece of black smoke on the sea. Next to this huge beast, the air-to-air ships leaned up like little white rabbits. Bai Yue walked into the city aisle like a little ant.
