Heart of Empire: The 488th Navy

Remember in a second【】, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

There are only two suggestions from the Kingdom's military to Dane.

One is to take advantage of the advantage of the army and the fact that the United Fleet has just blocked the route, and the domestic material reserves are still abundant. Take the time to launch the attack first, and strive to win the war in a short time and break the Three Kingdoms Alliance. Defending the border, attacking the hinterland of the Duchy of Florence, forcing the Duke of Florence to sign a contract under the city, ending the war ahead of schedule.

The second option is to formalize Schindler's past policies, such as the garrison policy and the militia policy, to gather a large army and gain an absolute crushing advantage. According to the estimates of the military department, it only takes half a year for Schindler to mobilize an army of more than 100,000 people! Leaving aside the quality, just this number is enough for Schindler to directly push Florence away with a strong force.

But Dane chose neither.

Although he didn't say it clearly, in the following period of time, there was no nationwide mobilization for war from the main castle of White Wolf Castle. To maintain the current situation, the strategic goal is still to prevent the enemy from passing through the wasteland pass and threatening the inland of Schindler. At the same time, the Peixinsi Group is strictly prohibited from taking risks, and all risks are eliminated.

This order is obviously to make Patience Group act conservatively.

People don't know what their king is thinking. But whether it is the military or the government, many people feel that this decision of His Majesty the King is inappropriate. Even some people who were worried about the country and the people tried to enter the main fort of White Wolf Castle and meet the king, trying to persuade the king not to delay and come up with a decision as soon as possible.

But no one has successfully met Dane in White Wolf Castle, in fact, he wasn't there either.

…

In 221, on October 6th, something that no one expected happened.

Hidden in the Ghost Knife Harbor on Comilla Island, the Schindler National Navy Fleet has left for almost half a month!

This thing is shocking!

Comparing the difference in naval strength between the two sides, you will know that the Schindler National Navy Fleet has a total of ten warships. Of course, three of them are 10,000-ton ships bought from the Shire, but the other seven The battleship is a bit horrible. These seven self-produced ships came from the shipyards of Shawan Port and Ghostdao Port, and the largest one was only just over 2,000 tons. The firepower and armor are not too advanced, and they are just used as a frigate.

Looking at the three 10,000-ton warships bought from the Shire, it looks quite bluffing, but you must know that these three ships were not built according to the specifications of warships when they were first built. to build. In fact, these are just three giant ocean-going cargo ships, which are big enough and have a large cargo capacity.

If it is said to be converted into a battleship, of course, after all, the size is placed here, and the artillery is installed, it is also a giant at sea. However, there is no way to bridge the huge structural gap between the giant freighter itself and the battleship.

The reason why warships are called warships is because they are weapons for fighting on the ocean. At the beginning of their construction, every design detail of the ships was prepared for war.

How to design the hull so that more cannons can be loaded, so that the position of each cannon can cover as many angles and areas as possible, and maximize the advantage of firepower. Or design the hull to be more flexible and faster; or build the ship stronger...

In short, war is the purpose of warships.

What about merchant ships? Reducing costs, expanding inner warehouses, and increasing transportation volume... These are not so closely related to war.

Thus, regardless of the three 10,000-ton 'battleships' in the Schindler National Fleet, these pseudo-warships refitted from freighters are simply fragile when they encounter real opponents.

It is not fast, not flexible, and its armor is weak. It is almost the best living target at sea.

For comparison, the United Fleet has a total of thirty-two main battleships, ranging from frigates of one thousand to two thousand tons, to cruisers of three to four thousand tons, and to battlecruisers of more than six thousand tons. Among them, there are five main warships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons!

It seems that the three ships of the National Navy Fleet are not much worse than the United Fleet, but in fact, because of the reasons mentioned before, the capital ships of the National Fleet are not comparable to those of the United Fleet. Compare.

One Dreadnought-class capital ship, it is estimated that it can knock down all three ships of the National Navy Fleet. Not to mention the Dreadnought class, even those battlecruisers with a displacement of six to seven thousand tons can easily beat the capital ships of the National Fleet.

The gap is very obvious.

It is precisely because of this gap that when the United Fleet came aggressively to Schindler's territorial waters, blocking routes and ports with impunity, the National Navy Fleet could only watch the enemy show off their might, while their own But he had to stay in the port obediently and rely on shore fire artillery to find peace.

Go out and fight? I'm afraid that if the National Fleet can't go ten nautical miles, it will be caught by the United Fleet, and then there will be a one-sided massacre.

No one could have imagined that Schindler's fleet dared to leave the port, and this is falling into the hands of the United Fleet!

What's more, the coalition spies who have already lurked in Ghost Knife Port got a surprising piece of news!

The King of the Kingdom of Schindler, His Majesty Dane, is on board the flagship of the National Navy Fleet, the Yellow Dragon!

This is so exciting!

…

The Empress is a Dreadnought-class warship ~IndoMTL.com~ with a displacement of 10,900 tons. It is the flagship of the Pudley Kingdom Navy and the flagship of this combined fleet.

Admiral Proudmoore is the flag of the Pudley Kingdom's navy. Back then, when they competed for the interests of the Golden Bay with the Armada of the Holy Prome New Empire, they made great contributions to the kingdom. And in the battle against the notorious pirate king Robin, this powerful pirate regiment that traversed the Southern Cross Sea was completely wiped out.

He is a true soldier, and almost the best admiral in the world.

Undoubtedly, he is the commander-in-chief of this combined fleet.

In the beginning, Proudmoore refused to believe the news that the Schindler National Fleet had left the harbor and that King Dane was on board. This matter doesn't make sense at all, it doesn't make sense that Schindler's navy would do this kind of death thing, and the king also died with him.

No matter how you look at it, this matter is full of conspiracy. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
