Then the radios in the Second Fleet began to send frequent reports, and then dozens of secret ships from the four major naval bases of the Somali Navy in Far East Africa left the port, and that was the world-famous Z-1 torpedo attack submarine, which was also the first generation attack submarine in history.
For main battle submarines, after purchasing a large amount of submarine technology from the United States, the secret research laboratory in North Korea began to make every effort to overcome the problem of underwater cruising power. After a year, the first-generation submarine power was finally developed.
Although the system uses a mixture of gasoline and batteries and can only operate within 55 nautical miles of the coastline, each submarine only has 4 torpedo tubes, but it can be equipped with 16 high-explosive torpedoes, and each base has 6 at the same time.
A total of 24 ships can launch 96 torpedoes at the same time.
That's why Li Ningyu transferred the Second Fleet to Asia, making the entire Somalia appear to be under the protection of a navy with a tonnage of only 8,000. However, this is also a bait thrown by Li Ningyu, because as long as someone dares to take advantage of Somalia, he will
You will definitely not give them good things to eat. Now that the bait has been thrown out, you just need to wait quietly to see if any fish dare to bite the hook.
However, it seems that just after the last few ships of the Second Fleet left under the leadership of Li Ningyu, representatives of the Austria-Hungary Empire, Italy, and Germany sat together. After three consecutive days of meetings, Germany did not participate in this event.
In Operation Shark, only Austria-Hungary and Italy participated. Subsequently, two navies with a combined tonnage of 80,000 tons began to appear frequently in the waters of Somalia and the Gulf of Aden, and from time to time they would intentionally or unintentionally break into the patrol waters of the Somali Navy.
, however, Bismarck, the spokesman for Far East diplomacy, protested many times.
However, a large surface fleet in the Far East has never appeared, and all countries have received the news that all three fleets of the Far East Navy are conducting joint military exercises in North Korea, including Li Ningyu himself. This move caused a stir.
Many people couldn't sit still, including Portugal, an old empire.
Portugal is a country on the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, with the Atlantic coast to the west and south, and Spain to the north and east. In the past, Portugal had a large number of overseas colonies, which provided it with an endless supply of raw materials. However, since each colony became independent one after another, Portugal is a country on the Iberian Peninsula in Europe.
, this advantage has gradually disappeared. In the 15th and 16th centuries, it established a large number of colonies in Africa, Asia, and America, becoming a maritime power. It got rid of Spanish rule in 1640. At the end of the 18th century, the French Napoleonic army invaded Portugal, but with the help of the British, the French army was driven away
, adopted a constitutional monarchy in 1820. Because Portugal has an inseparable relationship with Britain, it is relatively powerful.
His main colony, Brazil, became independent many years ago and joined the embrace of the United States. The Asian colony of East Timor was divided into half by the Netherlands many years ago, so he focused on Africa. Instead, at the Berlin Conference, he
It only acquired Angola and Mozambique in southwest Africa, but it wanted to develop in northern Africa, so after receiving such news, Portugal could not sit still because it planned to fish in troubled waters.
With the secret support of the United Kingdom, the Portuguese fleet also began to set sail from the ports of Angola and Mozambique in southern Africa, and then began to prepare frequently in the waters of Somalia, but they did not act rashly, because according to Li Ningyu's analysis, they were waiting for North Korea.
Joint naval exercises begin.
Time seems to be getting slower and slower. At 8 o'clock in the morning on November 11, 1892, three Far East Navy bases in North Korea left a large number of surface ships at the same time. Later, this news was learned by intelligence personnel from various countries, because currently only the Far East and the United Kingdom
Possessing this technology, after the British received accurate information, they immediately informed Portugal. Then at 5 pm African time, the first and second fleets of the Portuguese navy sailed into the Somali waters from the southern waters of the Indian Ocean without authorization, and then returned
A small gunboat of the Somali Navy that warned was sunk.
Suddenly, storms broke out in Somalia again. After Bismarck issued two consecutive protests against the withdrawal of the Portuguese navy from the sea area, at 5:30, the combined fleets of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Italian Sea also penetrated deep into the Somali waters, and first opened fire to attack the Somali naval ships, and then
The armored warships of the three fleets were about to approach the five major ports in Somalia. However, at 6 o'clock, Bismarck changed his protest and instead announced on behalf of the Far East that due to the Italian, Portuguese, and Austro-Hungarian naval fleets trespassing into Somali waters, he took the lead in launching an attack.
The artillery sank the Somali Navy ship, and the Somali Navy will begin to counterattack.
As soon as this news came out, all countries showed different attitudes. Some countries that originally wanted to participate in dividing the fruits of Somalia's victory stopped and seemed to think that they should wait, while others turned around and left directly. And that is
Portuguese Navy, why? Because the British knew Li Ningyu too well, but when they informed him, they didn't know that something had happened.
The navies of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were still marching in. It seemed that something good was waiting for them ahead. However, they were not wrong. There were many good things waiting for their arrival, and they had already been prepared for them.
A big gift package, and the gift package also has a nice and easy-to-remember name, Torpedo.
At this time, the sky in the eastern part of the Somali Sea had gradually dimmed, and the sea was windless and calm. However, the three 4,000-ton armored cruisers of the Italian and Austro-Hungarian joint fleets were arranged in a zigzag formation, risking their lives.
The thick smoke was heading towards Beira Port in Somalia at full speed, and the sailors on the observation deck would report the latest situation on the sea to the command room from time to time.
But just under this seemingly calm sea, there is a newly established formation quietly waiting for their prey. They are the submarine formation of the Far East Somali Navy, the eight 500-ton Z-1 submarines of the SEAL detachment.
At this time, the formation lurking 30 meters deep was busy nervously, because according to the requirements of Commander-in-Chief Zhang Dahu, only by eating well before the battle can we have the strength to defeat the enemy.
The Z-1 submarine is the first generation product improved by Li Ningyu. The design standard of the submarine is 465 tons on the surface, 540 tons underwater/560 tons in total, 40 meters long, 5.1 meters wide, 5.6 meters high, and 5.6 meters deep.
4.8 meters, powered by two 6-cylinder gasoline engines and twin electric engines, with a maximum speed of 6 knots on the surface and 5 knots underwater. Endurance: 260 nautical miles on the surface and 55 nautical miles underwater. The maximum diving depth is 45 meters. Weapons 4
×350mm torpedo launch tube, equipped with a total of 16 torpedoes and a submarine crew of 28 people.
