23. Eve Four

Big ship giant cannon, the sea of ​​anger — this is the classic naval battle mode that people who are longing for navy. In some people's minds, this has transcended hobbies and admiration, and has been upgraded to a belief.

This is how human beings, orcs, and elves.

In the current marine golden age, the navy of each country is pondering how to put more, thicker, and longer pipes into the giant ship, so as to be more efficient and gorgeous to eliminate opponents.

, Battleship designers in different countries can be described as the same as heroes. The only difference is: human and orc designers are limited by technical restrictions and thinking limitations.

At the advanced technical level and industrial system, the sacred turret can be moved to the steel warship.

In almost the world of the BB Party, all designers have worshiped the "truth" of the "truth" of "hundreds of millions of turrets, hundreds of millions of light".

Things.

Sea Eagle, Comet, Atlantis, Penguin, 鸬鹚 — The first batch of 5 camouflage attack ships built in the name of "auxiliary cruisers", plus many auxiliary vessels, this is all the defense army naval surface ships

At the bottom of the family. If there is not a voting submarine and underwater aircraft carrier, it will really take the title of the "Fisheries Administration Bureau" used by the Navy when it was established. Update 23. On the night before the Baojia Wei Guo Agricultural Ministry, Kaijiang Expansion Fisheries Administration Bureau-

The ancients do not bully me.

In fact, the designers of the Navy Shipbuilding Committee started planning various large warships early, but the ocean was not the strategic focus of Ahhham.

CV, CA, and lack of qualified sailors who can control these warships. The plan to build large surface ships has been put on hold. For a long time, the expansion of the defense navy is limited to creating underwater wolves and cultivating "wolf cubs".

Then, then

With the design and manufacturing of the large surface ships from the ruling officer, the Navy finally waited for the dreamed spring, although the first batch of warships were not the super warships that they thought of 4 double -door cannons.

The attack ship used to attack the maritime transport line. It is better than the navy. Besides, this is also in line with the current navy strategy.

There are two main tasks of the Defense Force Navy: collaboration with the colonies of important strategic materials for the overseas garrison to protect the production of important strategic materials, and on this basis, it is as much as possible to crack down on the maritime transportation line of the enemy. As for the task of traditional navy competing for sea power, it is considered at the end. After all, rely on relying on relying on

For strong air power, the elves can calmly eliminate or paralyze the navy of any country in the harbor. Update 23. The design drawing of the water surface ship has not passed the review.

Waiting for "consistent tradition, Cainiao sailors have been caught up with the steel sail attack ship, while adapting to sea life, while taking merchant ships that sail alone to practice hands.

Prepare the break from submarines, spacecraft, and surface ships.

Like the sisters who searched for prey in the ocean, the Haihawk is also the newly laid -off three -mast fast sailboat, 83.5 meters long, 5.5 meters of water, has beautiful flying scissors, powerful armed, delicate camouflage. But

Compared with his companions, the proportion of recruits on the boat is high, as high as 79 %. It is entirely a military academy intern boat. If she had not had a clever and brave and imaginative captain, I am afraid the navy would not be willing to let the baby babies go to the sea to go to the sea to go to the sea

When a pirate.

Major Felix Luckner was born into a military family. His father was a cavalryman who became a colonel through his own efforts. He is now ambitiously pursuing the ambitious goal of adding "Von" to his general's rank and surname. Soon.

Naturally, relying on the contacts his father accumulated in the army, serving in the cavalry unit and becoming a successful person will be Felix's life trajectory. But I don't know if he feels that in the future

In the coming war, the cavalry will be useless, or he is rebellious by nature, or he is destined to be a man who will become the Pirate King. In short, Felix did not have a son to inherit his father's legacy, and he finally chose the sea. After learning his son's choice.

Old Luckner was so angry that he almost convulsed him, but that was the end of the matter. The old man could only talk sadly about "the family's misfortune".

Soon, Luckner proved himself with his diligence and hard work. When a naval lieutenant commander wearing a straight military uniform, gold tassels on his shoulders, epaulettes, a sword on his waist, and a big-brimmed hat appeared at home, Lao Lu

Knarr was also moved by his son's perseverance and warmly welcomed him with open arms.

However, even if you can wear the epaulettes of a major through hard work, it is still difficult to be entrusted with important tasks, not to mention taking a shipload of the hearts of navy bosses to the sea to rob families. At this time, Major Luckner's other

The advantage became apparent, working on the merchant ship of the consortium

During his service, the major accumulated rich experience in sailing and sailing, can speak fluent Lapland, and is familiar with the living habits of sailors from various countries and the characteristics of ships in various countries. Every officer has high regard for his courage, sense of responsibility, ability to adapt to circumstances, and

Impressive imagination.

There is no doubt that he is a suitable candidate for such a task.

The major taught all the crew members to speak Lapland, teaching them to be calm and brave in times of trouble. Since this raiding ship needed to be disguised as a Lapland sailing cargo ship, in order to make her more authentic, a Lapland navigation clock and barometer were installed on the ship.

Thermometers and other metal utensils, and logbooks were stolen from real Lapland cargo ships via the Stasi. The crew wore wooden boots,

Wearing woolen sweaters and blue sailor hats, with Lapland tobacco - Skerry chewing tobacco and other identification documents in their pockets. For example, several love letters and photos of necklaces, each crew member has a "everything"

"I miss my fiancée from Lapland who wrote frequently". Finally, a crew member was selected to wear a transformation bracelet and women's clothes to act as the captain's wife "Josephine"...

This kind of arrangement is extremely clever, because Captains Albion and Charlemagne are naturally polite to women, and in order to show their gentlemanly demeanor and masculinity, they are easily distracted. And the well-known bad habits of Lapland sailors - endless

Running out of chewing tobacco and spitting the residue on the deck will make respectable gentlemen want to leave the ship as soon as possible.

In order to make the disguise more realistic, Major Luckner also came up with a brilliant idea. He summoned the carpenters and boatswain on the ship and asked them to use their father and son to smash all the portholes, windows, and everything, and then use sea water to cover everything

Soak. Wait until furniture is damaged, railings are crashed, and seawater is poured onto carpets, bunks, filing cabinets and ship certificates.

After being repaired, it was repaired according to regular maritime operations. The repaired Sea Eagle was no different from a cargo ship that had just experienced a sea storm. The documents were soaked, covered with water stains, and stained with ink. Against this layer

With a successful disguise, the Sea Eagle successfully crossed the sea and sailed towards the Great Channel with a boatload of elves who harbored the dream of being the Pirate King.

However, Luckner and his crew are not in a hurry to search for the target at this moment. The elusive Sea Eagle has swallowed up the cargo ships "Gladys Royal", "Lundy Island", "

The "Charles Cournold" has consumed a lot of supplies in successive battles. It is now in need of supplies. The sea area where they are located is exactly the place where they have agreed to join.

"Periscope! 3000 yards to port!"

The lookout shouted loudly, and the captain and officers picked up their telescopes and looked at the sea on the port side. They saw a black iron pipe sticking out of the water among the undulating waves in the distance. It drew a snow-white wake on the turquoise sea.

Foam flying waves sparkle in the sun.

The signal light on the top of the periscope flickered on and off, and the operator quickly converted the Morse code into text.

"Captain, they asked us to code the code."

"here we go again……"

Luckner showed a helpless smile, nodded, and the top of the mast also used a light signal to send out Morse code.





After an incision that was unclear whether it was a bandit or a pirate, a huge submarine emerged from the sea.

The cow-type supply submarine is a logistics submarine tailor-made for U-boat group operations. It can load 1,674 artillery shells, 18 torpedoes, and a large amount of mail, cans, and medicines at one time. There is also a special cold storage inside the boat to store fresh fruits and vegetables.

and meat. These are essential for a raiding ship that has been drifting overseas for a long time.

But this time it also came with some information that surprised Luckner.

"Charlemagne and Castile are at war?"

This is actually not surprising. The relationship between the two countries has always been bad, especially after the Seven Days War. In addition, Charlemagne's country is full of lunatics who hope to rely on war to get ahead, and war will be a matter of time. The question is, how can it change?

Like this?

"Minister Charlemagne led a group of soldiers into the Palace of Escoria and executed Queen Anna."

Captain Lothar Arnaud La Perreux hung his unlit pipe and spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was telling a joke.

A country's envoy led a team into another king's palace, killing people and setting fire to it - although it is not very funny, it is indeed a joke.

Then--

"Just watch, it will be our turn soon."

Peller showed a longing smile, and Luckner nodded knowingly.

###########

Armed conflict broke out again between the Titans and Castile. Due to the Castilians' procrastinating bureaucracy and backward communication methods, within three days all countries heard was Charlemagne's official response to this emergency.

description.

Late at night on March 7th, a battalion of the Titans garrison stationed in the border port city of Hende conducted a night drill under the command of Major Corbin. At around 10 p.m., when the drill ended and the troops were assembled, "it is said that"

Bullets came from the Castilian army across the river in the direction of Fontravia, first a few rounds, then a dozen more. Major Corbin

Immediately, the exercise was ordered to stop, the personnel were counted, and it was found that one soldier was missing. For this reason, while searching, he reported to the garrison headquarters. Lieutenant Colonel Rios, who was in the Ande Barracks at the time, immediately reported the matter to the garrison commander Franco.

Brigadier General Va, at the same time, personally led an infantry battalion to the border for reinforcements, and requested to enter the cities of Fontravia and Irun for search.

However, the soldier who was initially said to be "missing" had returned safely to his unit at this time. In addition, the Duke of Alva, the supreme commander of the Castilian army stationed at the border, issued a public statement stating that no Castilian troops were active on the border that day.

If there were troops, they must be bandits. Brigadier General François then ordered that if he encountered another attack, he would immediately fire back. At about 4 o'clock in the morning, another shooting incident occurred.

The above is a report on the incident written by Major General Rambert, then Assistant Attaché of Charlemagne's Embassy in Fontravia. Privately, after investigating the matter, the Major General believed that there was indeed no shooting on the part of Castile, but he also

insisted that the Titans garrison was indeed shot. Major General Rambert believed that the biggest suspects were probably the hardliners who wanted to start the war to annex Castile early, such as those who were instructed by members of the army.

Rogues, or a third-party force that obeys the instructions of a foreign country. However, the Titans themselves cannot escape suspicion. As early as during the Battle of Riga, well-informed people in Lüdes's political circles were rumored privately that "the harvest of the moon will be repeated for seven days."

The Prime Minister and the War Office, shocked by the rumors, secretly dispatched their own investigators. Before these investigators could arrive, the incident broke out and became out of control.

On the 8th day of the lunar month, the Titans' garrison troops fired artillery without permission;

On the 9th of March, the two sides reached a temporary agreement, and both armies temporarily returned to their original places and issued a ceasefire order. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of that day, another refutation of fire occurred.

On August 10, Lüdes proposed a solution: 1. The Castilian border garrison apologized to the Titans and punished the "culprits"; 2. The Castilian army withdrew from Fontravia

and Iron; 3. Since it was the anti-Charlemagne elements in the Castilian army who fired the first shot and triggered the incident, all anti-Charlemagne ideas and opinions should be banned in the future;

Unable to reach an agreement, the Titans bombarded Fontavia and Aeron that night...

"Isn't this a great job? We don't even need to intervene. They will rush over on their own according to the set track. They are more faithful than dogs with reflex training."

Crossing his hands, Li Lin said leisurely.

What he wanted to express was only the literal meaning. But that faint smile gave people a sarcastic image. Whether he was conscious of this or not, he continued to add in a tone that was no different from sarcasm.

"It's not in vain that we invested so much in them."

There are many factors for the rise of the Titans, the most important of which is the support of the consortium. It is precisely with the support of a large number of gold coins, guns, instructors, logistics, and even invisible force support that this substantial force

It was the "security force" of the second prince's private army that could form an army in a short period of time. It quickly became an important force in Charlemagne's political arena.

Of course, this kind of investment is also extremely cost-effective. Just the orders sent by various countries to launch the arms race have made the consortium a lot of money. Needless to say other supporting facilities, trade rights, etc. Needless to say, the most important thing is that they personally

Charlemagne opened the door to the abyss of disaster.

“Excellent staff.”

Freya sneered.

"They should be given a 'Work Makes Free' medal."

There is no doubt that the consortium has been sparing no effort to promote Charlemagne's development of militarism, support the Titans, constantly provoke small-scale wars, create the illusion that Charlemagne is "invincible", and use various channels to promote that "war can make the country

"Strong and the people will be prosperous", "You can get benefits by following the military flag abroad" and other "patriotic ideas", which in turn prompted the people to turn from their past aversion to war to fanatical support.

Of course, the consortium spent so much effort not for the benefit of Charlemagne, but to subvert the country. When Charlemagne and the whole country were immersed in myths such as "from one victory to another" and "the king's army is invincible",

This country has made enemies on all sides and is not far from the end of "from victory to destruction".

Among them, the Titans' contribution is not small, and it is worthy to give them medals.

"The progress is much faster than expected."

Tyr shook his head, with a trace of disbelief still on his face.

"I originally thought it would take at least several years before they would become what they are now."

Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has gone through the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China, the First World War, the Taisho Spring and a series of turmoils in the early Showa era before finally forming the fascist system of the emperor and the military. Frontline soldiers were unscrupulous

They "went on rampage" and "walked alone", igniting wars everywhere, which did not stop until the atomic bomb was eaten. Another model of militarism, Germany, from the Weimar Republic to the Third Reich, before and after

It also took nearly 20 years. With countries like Foot Pot Chicken and Hans Meow having a profound militaristic background, coupled with the Great Depression and the general background of the people at the bottom being generally dissatisfied with the status quo, it would take at least at least 10 years to complete the transformation into a fascist country.

It took more than ten years. Charlemagne has almost developed to that extent in just one year. Even if there is a consortium among them to help the situation, this speed is really too fast.

There are actually no more than two reasons for such rapid progress. First, there are no external constraints. The Versailles-Washington system that restrained Germany and Japan from going crazy does not exist. There is no effective international system for military powers.

Restrictions, are they documented?

With the international law and international moral code of conduct, it is naturally much faster to follow the path of militaristic expansion. Secondly, there is almost no civilian group or left-wing force in Charlemagne that can restrain the power of the military. Although Charlemagne was brought into modernization by the consortium,

In addition to many national affairs

Except for the voice of a plutocrat, it is still basically the original ruling system of powerful people. There is no complete civil service examination system and talent selection system like Alfheim, so there is naturally no way to talk about civil servants and bureaucracies. Those powerful people are more or less

and army and army

The princes behind the team are inextricably linked. Even Archbishop Li, who is working hard to conceive the national development strategy, is also planning to cultivate the navy to balance the army and the Titans, and use the military to balance the military. In the end, it is not

Become a warrior and rule the country?

There are no internal or external constraints, and the cultural quality of the people is not high. They are all ignorant people who listen to "war will make you rich, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang" every day. They taste some sweetness and see the military leaders who were also civilians after the Seven-Day War.

After returning with big bags of real money and changing his destiny and getting promoted and made a fortune, who else would be ignorant and opposed to the war? In less than a year, Charlemagne naturally united the whole country.

"The Prime Minister is indeed a capable minister. But this idea of ​​using soldiers to suppress soldiers is really..."

Brunhil spread his hands, and the attendees laughed softly.

"That's fine. With Charlemagne as a living specimen, the right wing in the country clamoring for a military government will be much quieter. But that's not what we want to discuss now."

The laughter stopped suddenly, and the elven soldiers all sat upright.

"There is no point in further discussing what has happened. What needs more attention now is the construction of our army itself, Lieutenant General Brunhil."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

With a slight nod of his head, Brunhil walked to the hanging battle map and placed the pointer on the west side of Alsace and Lorraine Towers.

"The construction of the 'Siegfeld Line' has been completed to 87%, and positions for fortress artillery and large anti-aircraft rockets have been prepared. Railways for deploying heavy weapons have been laid, and a large amount of special ammunition has been stored in the ammunition depot."

The core idea of ​​the SADF's Yellow Plan can be summarized in one sentence: attack from the south and the north, and outflank by lightning.

Using the Siegfried Line to attract and contain Charlemagne's army, the armored forces broke through and outflanked the Ardennes Forest, thus launching a battle of annihilation.

Whether this plan can be successfully realized depends on two core points.

First, the breakthrough speed of armored forces.

Second, to what extent the Siegfried Line can attract and contain Charlemagne's army.

Any flaw in any of the above items may allow Charlemagne's army to escape from the trap, regroup the troops and inflict heavy losses on the defense forces. Even worse, it may prolong the war and wear down Alfheim through a war of attrition.

In this war where the fate of the country is a bet, the elves cannot afford any defeat. Alfheim is not the Second German Empire. If we lose the Battle of the Marne, we can still have the victory of Tannenberg and the Meat Grinder of Verdun.

Battle of Jutland... Once the yellow plan fails, there will be nothing left for the elves.

Therefore, they have spared no effort in investing in the construction of the army. In addition to vigorously building armored units, they have also invested extremely heavily in the Siegfried Line of Defense.

Needless to say, barbed wire, mines, trenches, etc., and various heavy artillery are indispensable. In addition to countless mortars, rocket launchers, 88mm and high-level dual-purpose guns, there are also self-propelled guns on tractor chassis.

There are big things like siege guns, and what's even more exaggerated is that a large number of circular railway positions have been built within the defense line, specifically for the use of train guns. Once it enters war, the Siegfried Line can deploy at least 18 of these terrifying train guns.

This alone was not enough. In order to further improve the air defense capabilities of the defense line, the newly developed "Rhine's Daughter" air defense rockets were also moved out. Launching positions were built early at key points where enemy aviation warships may pass, and the war began.

After that, these radio-guided rockets can be quickly put into position to give the invading enemy a head-on blow.

As the final trump card, all heavy artillery and rockets are equipped with "special ammunition" such as poison gas bombs and bacterial bombs. If the battle goes wrong, the defenders will shoot out all these shells within a few minutes, creating a large area of ​​inexhaustible

Human area, to buy time for the next step in the war. As for how many people may die, that is not a question for the elves to consider...

"This is a last resort. We will not start it unless it is absolutely necessary."

Brunhil's eyebrows twitched, and some generals also showed unnatural expressions.

The reason why this decision was made was not because of morality or humanitarianism, but because after witnessing the testing of special ammunition and a large number of human experiments, the soldiers who were seriously disgusted were unable to train themselves like the Japanese two-legged beasts.

In addition, elves with low fertility rates are still very taboo about biological and chemical weapons that may endanger themselves. They will not use these weapons of mass murder unless absolutely necessary.

With such a luxurious configuration, the Siegfried Line of Defense can be said to be the most impregnable fortress in the world. However, I don’t know whether it is the elves’ lack of sense of security or the difficulty of building a line of defense. In order to ensure this line of defense, it takes a lot of time and resources.

To ensure safety, they further strengthened the defense line, which directly led to a significant delay in the construction schedule.

"The remaining insufficient part is mainly the tank destroyer unit that serves as a mobile defense force. Since the production of tank tanks takes up most of the production capacity, the production of tank destroyers is quite underground. In addition, the finalization of the heavy tank destroyer 'Hunter Tiger'

Not finished yet—"

"Suspend the research and development of the 'Cheetah' and allocate some production lines to the 'Cheetah'."

"But this may affect the production of main tanks. Now the tank factory has entered a quasi-wartime system. All workers are working in three shifts and going all out to produce. Random changes in production operations may affect resource allocation and make technology

Workers cannot use it centrally.”

"Then reduce the production of heavy tanks."

Li Lin lightly pressed the table and said:

"Depending on the situation, several heavy armored battalions and large-scale armored vehicles can be deployed to strengthen the mobile defense force on the defense line. If this is not enough, then prototype aircraft such as 'Rat' and 'E-100' can also be strengthened.

"

"My subordinate understands."

"Let them hurry up, and by the beginning of next year at the latest, I hope our army has completed all combat preparations."

This sentence was undoubtedly addressed to all the generals and colonels present. The sound of heels clenching together and shouts of "Yes, sir!" were heard in the conference room.

While Li Lin returned the courtesy, he said some formal words such as "sincere unity" and "all the gentlemen encourage each other", but his mind was already on Lüdes.

The preparations here cannot be relaxed, and Lüders also needs some powerful information to further stimulate.

As for what to call this "secret service", Li Lin is still thinking about it.

Is it better to call it Dongchang? Or is it better to call it Dongchang?

Anyway, the second prince already has many titles, so he doesn't care to add the titles of "Admiral Eunuch of the East Factory" and "Nine Thousand Years Old"...
