Power and Empire Chapter 2377: The Emperor’s Knife (16)
The command from the commander made the whole battleship go from silence to boiling
"The whole ship lights up, and the firepower is on!" I don’t know how many imperial sailors’ voices burst out. An imperial navy sailor standing between the deck and the cabin, fearing that his voice would be covered up, ran to The gun bay in the middle is full of firepower, do you hear it! with full force! The soldier’s voice was uploaded, his expression raised his right hand high, and he gestured vigorously downward towards his companion in the cabin, and then stroked his chest horizontally, repeating this action again,
His business, in the closed cabin, it is like thunder rolling, resounding through the gun cabin,
is fully fired, which means that the gun bay can also be fired. The Imperial artillery, who endured most of the night, turned around all at once, and finally started! They are the soul of the Imperial Navy and the sharpest teeth of the empire. As a result, under the silent command from the upper level, everyone can only watch the ship-borne soldiers happily playing for most of the night, the eyes of the artillerymen. It's all popular, isn't it just a few hundred people? If you let Thor open fire, I believe that as long as a random shot, the opponent will collapse, but there is no way. The above command is like this. The artillerymen are lying in the small holes in the shelling cabin and looking at them. This time they heard the order and gave it. Can live in peace,
"Everyone is in place, but you can't let those ship-borne soldiers take the lead, and everyone will be embarrassed when you pass it out! Target two hundred meters, catapult!"
The person in charge of the cannon bay opened his throat and shouted, and finally he could give it a go. What are you waiting for? He has been staring at the opponent’s catapult for a long time, although the Shanlin has been modified, and the side is still on the top floor. The deck is not afraid of the bombardment of the catapult, but it does not mean that it will not be penetrated. The high impact caused by the catapult is still the deadliest enemy of the hull.
As the largest weapon transport ship of the Imperial Navy’s Logistics Operations Department, Shanlin is slightly shorter than the main battleship Dragon-class of the Empire. Compared with other warships, it is a real giant, Shanlin. The gun bay is on the second floor. Twenty seconds after the order is issued, follow the snap! Snapped! Snapped! The six crisp sounds, the six hòu wooden cover panels on the side of the ship's gunwale painted in the same color as the hull, suddenly opened outward,
"Chuck" six black Thor muzzles with the sound of metal rubbing against the ship deck, protruding murderously from the shelling ports behind these covers,
The black muzzle became more and more terrifying under the light from the cabin. It was originally a black cabin, brightly lit, and the oil lamps hanging in the cabin were lit. The cabin on the side of the big hull shines out, like a small golden sun rising in the port, like a dream, like a prosperous sea market suddenly popping up on the sea,
"What's the situation?" Seeing this scene in front of me, the Fazer heavy infantry closest to the hull has no idea how to react.
"Master Aurelio, are you sure this is a merchant ship?" Araven, the sheriff standing two hundred meters away, saw this scene, his face turned pale, gritted his teeth and wanted to give Aurelio a kick.
At any rate, the security officer who has been in the port city for several years, how can he not see that this hidden giant ship, like a merchant ship, is obviously a battleship full of combatants. His eyes are very Looking regretfully at the top of the mast of the giant fleet, under the shining of a piece of light, what I saw was a blue imperial falcon flag flying,
Blue Falcon Flag! When did it hang on?
Sheriff’s body trembled slightly, and his pupils shrank. Originally, he was thinking about whether he could pretend to be a misunderstanding and be able to bring the army back, but the current situation seems impossible, and the opponent rises. The navy flag, which means that the other party has set a heart for combat,
I'm fighting a battleship of the Falcon Imperial Navy, what kind of thing is this! Sheriff Araven shook his body, and the corners of his mouth showed a bit of bitterness. When he came just now, he even took a special look. There was no flag at the top of the mast. With Aurelio, it was natural to treat it as one. An ordinary Falcon Empire merchant ship, except for its larger size and a bit more troublesome procedures to cover it up, is under its control. Who knows that it changes abruptly in the blink of an eye. It's like a winter hunt. I thought there was a hole in the hole. The little fox, after working hard for a long time, came out from inside a dragon that was extremely angry, and his nose was spraying hot flames.
"Quick, send the order, everyone withdraw immediately!" Sheriff Araven's reaction was not slow, and he was awakened by the dangerous breath in front of him immediately after he trembled. There were four superimposed giants in the distance. In the big cabin, the lights were bright in an instant, and it felt like a sleepy sea beast was suddenly stabbed by someone, and all the spikes on its body exploded.
is dangerous to make people chill, which means that the opponent has put on a combat state. This means that the opponent has no longer tolerated it. The Falcon Empire Navy has used its power since it set foot in the waters of the Obaro continent. The huge naval weapon Thor, shattered the confidence of the navies of the European countries, and the brutality of the imperial navy has long been proved by the Gangfei on the opposite side of the sea. That shocked the entire continent. In the raid war, one-third of the Gangfei kings were turned into ashes overnight, and as many as tens of thousands of people died, which directly forced the Gangfei empire to move to Beijing, and even the Gangfei empire dared to blow up with the opponent. , What is a little Luansok?
"Master Araven, at this time, it’s useless to hesitate. The Falcon Empire Navy’s strength in the Inland Sea is obvious to all. How could it listen to a small sheriff’s explanation. On the contrary, we have hundreds of people and can even mobilize the whole city. Arms, the opponent has only one ship, so it’s not impossible to seize it with all your strength! As long as you take down the opponent’s warship and dispose of all the people on it, what do you need to say, isn’t it just a word from an adult?"
Aurelio was next to him, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and said with a gloomy face. He did not expect that he was facing an imperial navy battleship, but the other side's posture, let him understand at once, he It’s not wrong to lose. If it weren’t for the prototype tonight, I didn’t expect to face the Imperial Navy. The big plan that swept through all trading houses in Luansok and disrupted the business group’s effort and effort. Bleak and terrible opponent,
is not the northern business alliance that is expected to be scorched, but the Falcon Empire Admiralty that has always looked like a beast
It’s not difficult to understand where the other party invested such a huge amount of money at once. Just one Luansok is worth millions, so the total number of other ports affected by the southern inland sea is estimated to add up to more than 20 million. More than that,
As a branch minister of the double-headed eagle business group who has contacted some of the core, Aurelio certainly knows the inside story of the ten major southern business groups raising 12 million gold tickets against Lisbon in order to contain the north. The expansion of the business alliance, the rare big alliance of the ten major business groups, and the 12 million gold tickets, really caused the Lisbon trust businessmen to be completely crazy, so that no one considered the hidden risks in it
Through the Lisbon trustee, a heavy blow to the business alliance, incidentally launched a battle against the domestic small and medium chambers of commerce. No matter from that perspective, the top ten business groups will be the final winners of the greatest benefits, even if the Lisbon trust The volatility caused by the intervention of the empire’s high-levels has been greatly eliminated. At least in China, the top ten business groups have passed this volatility and steadily completed their unification.
But I didn’t expect that the other party would completely ignore Lisbon’s embarrassment. On the contrary, they suddenly broke out at the last moment with even more huge funds. The storm swept like a storm, and disappeared immediately after showing up, regardless of the time or place of shot. It’s impeccable, this throat-sealing sword, one evening, less than two hours, this throat-sealing sword has already penetrated the situation that the ten major business groups painstakingly arranged,
In the southern port city, a large number of gold tickets that had been pocketed by the top ten merchants were swept away with one hand, but a mess was left waiting for the top ten merchants to clean up
It’s important to know that this time it’s not only small and medium-sized businessmen, but also small and medium-sized nobles of low rank. No one will tolerate the ruthless looting of their wealth. Now they dare not say anything. Once the storm has passed. , When the gold ticket of the business alliance returns, at that time, these small and medium aristocrats who hate the top ten business groups to their bones will definitely use all the power they can use to retaliate against the top ten business groups.
If the top ten business groups have mastered the economic lifeline of the entire kingdom, the power of these small and medium-sized nobles will not be afraid. The problem is that the top ten business groups have lost their hands. It is a very violent counterattack! It's so beautiful that even the enemy felt compelled to admire. Aurelio felt a faint feeling in his heart. He looked at the imperial battleship in the distance and suddenly laughed. The other party actually helped him secretly. If Araven was just perfunctory, then at this moment, he has been forced to a dead end. Attacking an imperial merchant ship without authorization can also be explained as a misunderstanding. Attacking an imperial naval battleship is another matter. , The problem is that if the garrison team is pulled into the water, the person in charge of the trade group seems to have much lighter responsibility
"Aurelio, you are a bastard!"
Aravan was heartbroken, and almost pulled a handful of hair from his head! I was inexplicably involved in such a predicament. Everything was given by Aurelio. If I knew that, I shouldn’t have been in this muddy water. This **** was still agitating himself to attack the Imperial battleship at this time. I'm ready to put all the responsibilities on myself
"The country has long been dissatisfied with the Falcon Empire. Maybe your lord’s actions tonight are in line with the prime minister’s will. It’s hard to say!" Aurelio knew that at this time, he could only push Aravan forward with all his strength.
He withdrew his gaze from a distance, clenched his hand unconsciously, and said in a deep voice, "Master Araven, it has reached this level, then there is only one way to go to the end. What we are doing now is actually not completely Wrong, I don’t believe in the Prime Minister. I have not specifically given your order to contain the Falcon Empire Merchant Ship. Otherwise, even with the guts of your lord, I won’t be so happy to agree tonight!"
"You!" Araven looked at Aurelio with a trace of horror in his eyes. Aurelio's words touched Alavin's heart. If he really used force against the Imperial Navy, it might not be a way of life! The domestic side has long been quite dissatisfied with the Falcon Empire. The prime minister sent a letter last month, asking him to stop the entry and exit of the Falcon Empire merchant ships from that month, and cooperate with the Kingdom’s First Merchant Group Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group. The economic suppression of the imperial business group, such as the huge turmoil caused by the devaluation of the gold ticket of the business alliance this time, not only sat on the sidelines, but also suspended the approval of the ships in the port to go to sea in the past few days. The formalities completely blocked the circulation of the business alliance’s gold tickets. Most of the merchants in the city who had gold tickets had no choice but to accept the wanton price reductions of a few trading houses in the city. I heard that in the east The Istan Empire, the southern six-nation coalition has torn the final fig leaf, and is making every effort to attack the imperial army in Istanbul
"To mobilize the entire city’s forces, the garrison, the police station, and all the manpower that can be mobilized to the port! I don’t believe in thousands of people and can’t get a ship!" Aurelio was still there to stir up trouble, Ya LaVine was finally moved. He viciously issued an order to the adjutant behind him to mobilize all the manpower. At this moment, he could only take a gamble. "Go to war. If war is destined to break out tonight, let me do it." Light it up!" Aravan's eyes were bloodshot and turned around. The lights on the distant battleship shone in his eyes, like ignited flames. At the same time, the blow from the Falcon Empire battleship began, countless arrows. The clusters flew from the ship's side from a high place, exploding a **** fog in the scattered Fei Ze garrison below. Hundreds of people were shot down by a volley and thirty or forty people fell. The violent blow made others squat on the shield Behind, lying on the ground, didn't even dare to lift his head, only from the corner of his eye, saw his companion wailing in the arrow, countless crossbow arrows inserted deep into the surrounding ground, and rubble splashed in all directions~IndoMTL.com~ Like a large white flower burst out of the ground,
In the gun bay of Shanlin, a loader steadily activated the hook axle with his callused hands, and slid the 10 kg Thor projectile into the barrel again along the grease-filled channel. The other two The famous artillery tried their best to turn the steering wheel in their respective positions. The position of the gun bay was a bit high. Aiming at a distant target required the muzzle to be tilted downwards. It was a bit troublesome for the naval Thor's front gun chamber to reload. It was calibrated several times , Finally let the cannonball squat obediently at the bottom of the projectile position,
"Let's start!" The loader pressed his hands with all his strength, "Boom!" The huge sound of shooting shook the sea and the sky of the port at the same time, and only a white light was seen from the mountains and forests. The side of the number blasted out fiercely, almost in a blink of an eye, the white light had already dragged its eye-catching tail, and heavily penetrated into the position of a sling in the distance. The Fezer garrison beside the sling was still pulling the winch. The huge white light in his eyes was like a single point that quickly became all, "Boom!" The huge explosion slammed into the front of the sling, and the pieces of wood flew horizontally, flashing and billowing. The coming heat wave burned everyone's retina.
On the evening of May 30th, Luansok, the empire declared war on the six southern nations!
