Blackstone Code Chapter 386: For the Federation!

The torpedo has always faced many problems in actual combat. For example, if the torpedo is too large, its resistance in the water will increase, and the requirements for buoyancy will increase. will become very difficult.

It not only needs a high-pressure air chamber that can automatically adjust the pressure to ensure its buoyancy, but also has an independent thermodynamic capacity chamber to maintain a stronger driving force, which are all design difficulties.

But if you reduce the size of the torpedo and change its shape, it can indeed move forward quickly and steadily in the water, but its damage will become very limited.

A 40-pound torpedo may cause damage to some warships. Most of the breakdown below the waterline comes from torpedoes, but each country also has a corresponding method, that is, segmented closed bottom bins.

Unfortunately, a place was penetrated, and they quickly closed the hatch of this place so that no more water would pour into the hull.

After the closure, the waterline of the ship will change, and the speed will also change. After all, the breach will form a vortex and reduce the speed, but there will be no further changes.

If the power of torpedoes is increased, the problems will become more and more complicated. In actual naval battles, there are often no opportunities for both sides to launch torpedoes at close range. Compared with long-distance gambling, the main research and development of various countries The direction is still on the artillery.

But this time they were faced with improved torpedoes, more gunpowder, more rational design, and more accurate and stable launch guidance. These torpedoes will cause great trouble.

The Gefra people adjusted the order of battle immediately. They took the expulsion of the federal charge formations as their main goal. If their torpedoes could sink even the battleships, it would be a big deal to let them come. sin.

Gevra people can be very arrogant when they are proud, but they can become extra cautious when they are serious and careful.

This also gave the Federal Navy a chance to breathe, and the rear quickly readjusted to actively respond to the current complex naval battle situation.

At this moment, those ghost-like submarines have come to a place close to the Gefra position, out of sight.

As the first submarine moved towards their target, the battleship Guardian Knight fired two torpedoes in succession as they arrived at the intended operational location.

The head and tail of the technologically improved torpedo have a level gauge. Their function is to continuously adjust the angle of the torpedo. When the level gauge changes, there will be a motion gauge inside the torpedo to adjust the center of gravity to change the advancing angle.

At the same time, there is a small hole in the front of the torpedo that will release air intermittently. These air bubbles can also increase the speed of the torpedo and make it more stable.

The torpedoes launched underwater were very concealed, until the torpedoes approached the battleship Guardian Knight, and then surfaced, watching the torpedoes shot straight at the hull, the soldiers in charge of the observation immediately issued an alarm, but it was all too late .

A huge water column suddenly rose up, followed by a second water column. The improved new torpedo with twice the charge of the mainstream torpedo directly brought a qualitative change.

After the battleship Guardian Knight was pushed out by the shock wave caused by the explosion for more than ten meters, the hull of the battleship appeared to tilt significantly.

A torpedo hit the middle and front of the port side of the Guardian Knight. The engine block was fired at the moment the sea water poured in. At the same time, the blasted gap was too large, and the speed of the sea water backflow was too fast. were not able to close within a minute.

The damage to the battleship Guardian Knight immediately caused panic among the Gefrans, followed by all kinds of sudden and violent deaths!

After the submarine is equipped with improvements, it can be said that it is a torpedo after the update and iteration, and it showed amazing results in the first appearance.

After a brief shock, the military observers immediately became excited when they discovered that the mighty, invincible Royal Navy of Gavra had been defeated by submarines and torpedoes!

If they still don't know why the Federals are still dragging a group of submarines to eliminate "pirates" in everyone's impression, they often only appear in offshore and inland water engineering operations, then they are too stupid.

These military observer nations may have a hard time catching up with Gefra's naval power on the battleship issue, but they can also take a stab at the Baylor Federal Navy, using submarines and torpedoes as a means of attack.

Torpedoes can cause significant damage to battleships, which means that battleships will no longer be invincible at sea!

Before today, it was believed that only the battleship itself could defeat the battleship, but now it is different, this is an innovation across the ages!

Ghosts hidden beneath the surface attack unsuspecting warships, those who don't even know why they are being attacked, those enemies are far away from them!

But the war doesn't stop because of their injuries. Those Gefra warships, whose speed is limited, and even their engines are stopped in place, are like targets.

Federal soldiers may not be very good at hitting enemy ships while they are moving, but they are very good at target training.

There was not much scattering, and the next salvo was very accurate. Four warships were called in a row, and after multiple shells hit the battleship Guardian Knight, which was already trapped like a beast, the opponent raised the white flag.

They surrendered.

There is no need to sink most of the main fleet here for a tentative naval battle, a naval battle originally intended to show off the strength of the navy.

Don't look at their boats in such a bad way, in fact, if they are towed back and repaired, they will almost be able to be used again.

The soldiers of the Union Navy cheered, and they were surprised

The war was won by the way, but there is no denying that the might of the Royal Navy of Guevra is unquestionable.

Had it not been for the exploits of the submarine and the new torpedoes, it is very likely that the Commonwealth Navy would have had to retreat to escape the waters, and in this kind of head-on war they were no match for the Royal Navy of Gavra.

But they won, and they cheered the victory.

It's just that the commander-in-chief of the Federal Navy Fleet didn't show much smile at this time. He was thinking about a question.

Everyone in the command room was waiting for his decision, whether to continue the fight, or just let Gefra's navy go.

The commander-in-chief was hesitant. This naval battle told him that there was indeed a clear gap in strength between them and the Gavra Navy in a frontal battle.

Subs and torpedoes changed that, giving them victory, but what about next time?

The exposure of submarines and torpedoes will definitely attract the attention of various countries, and they will focus on submarine research and anti-submarine research.

Once you have the right anti-submarine equipment and the role of submarines is reduced in frontal naval battles, what will they use to defeat the Gavra Navy next time?

Will you use your face to catch cannonballs to defeat these fearsome foes?

So after Gafra's warship hoisted the white flag, the commander-in-chief did not immediately lift the state of war, the soldiers were still at their posts, and he was weighing.

At the same time, a voice in his heart told him that if the fleet was completely destroyed now, it would be a fatal blow to Gafra.

Without a main fleet, their remaining main fleet must have a guard near the homeland at all times to prevent hostile forces from directly attacking their homeland.

Then the naval power they can freely use on the sea becomes extremely limited, and Gefra's influence in the world will also decrease.

It will take a few years to rebuild a brand new main fleet, it may take at least six to eight years for them to restore the current fleet size...

Six to eight years of development opportunities are too tempting.

The commander looked at all the officers and generals in the command room and pursed his lips, "I am a sinner, all orders today come from me, and when I go back, I will accept the ruling of the military court! "

He paused as he spoke, and without waiting for any reaction from the others, he walked to the command station and ordered the operator, "Notify the ships, continue to attack, and be sure to completely destroy this group of pirates here!"

On the other hand, the Gefra people are dispatching various lifeboats to rescue those drowning sailors who have not died on the water. These sailors are Gefra's most precious treasure.

Each of them has experienced many battles, and has a combat experience and stable psychological quality that others can't match.

The battleship is broken, just repair it. The death of these sailors is the biggest loss. It is difficult to train a group of qualified sailors in peacetime.

At this time, Gefra's commander was also summarizing the gains and losses of the battle. He was very generous. No matter how angry, fearful, disturbed, and hated he was in his heart, he would not show it.

Just as he was talking about personally apologizing to His Majesty the Emperor, he suddenly looked at the fleet across the battlefield.

The clouds in the sky changed a bit ~IndoMTL.com~ and then a swarm of shells fell on the battleship!

The battleship Guardian Knight was completely unresponsive due to the concentrated fire. The other ships were more or less damaged, and they were unable to escape quickly.

A large number of soldiers are still fighting fires and rescues. They never thought that after raising the white flag, the other party would continue to shell them!

It was a real carnage, but no blood could be seen, and all the corpses and debris sank to the bottom of the sea.

The eyes of the military observers on the periphery were all rounded. In any case, they all realized that something big was going to happen!

The defeat of the Gavra Royal Navy is enough of a big deal. What is even more terrifying is that the Federals are crazy. On the premise that they have already harvested the fruits of victory, they still annihilated almost all Gevra warships. Are they? Do you want to start a new round of war?

If it is true, then how do you choose?

The military observation ship quickly identified itself and was harmless and quickly retreated. If they didn't leave at this time, it would be bad if the Federalists thought they should stay behind too.

The sea gradually returned to calm, and that night, almost all the important figures in the Federation who had something to do with national defense were awakened by this news.

Some people even feel hopeless, because the war seems to be coming soon!
