Power and Empire Chapter 3879: Fusion (2)
In the fog of the night, a boat that looks like a small local fishing boat is paddling like a small insect next to a huge crescent moon, leaning from the front to the front end of Mas Xingyue Bay, like a strait with an arc. The outline of the entrance in the evening is very beautiful, the huge land outline brings a scimitar-like arc, like a huge moon, this is the famous Mas Strait
Mas Strait:
A long and narrow sea area in the southeast that runs through the Aden Sea and the Southern Sea of Central Biya. The west bank is the Kamasi Road Island, which belongs to the southern continent, and the east bank is the Masi Peninsula in the south of the Western Taiwan Kingdom. The strait is 36 kilometers long, like a huge upside-down funnel, and its mouth width towards the Aden Sea is only Eight kilometers, widening eastward, the strait is in a tropical windless zone, so there are many calm days throughout the year. The bottom is flat, mostly sandy, and the water flow is gentle. It can be said to be the largest natural deep-water port in the entire continent, more than a thousand. Over the years, this place has been the object of competition between the surrounding naval forces. Occupying Mas Xingyue Bay is equivalent to reining in the throat of the Aden Sea and the southern waters of Central Bahia
The unique geographical location brings not only wealth, but also killing. The wheel of time is turning again. This year, history is still hesitating in the inert silt water. It seems that he has not made up his mind yet. Which direction to flow out. Perhaps the people of Aden would not have thought that after 80 years, the Nanxi people, who had been tortured and suppressed by the Aden Navy, did not retake the Mas Xingyue Bay. Instead, the Falcon Imperial Navy, which came from thousands of miles away, laid down at Mas Xingyue Bay. Arena
Under the clear water, the mast is like a forest!
Only standing on the surface of Mas Crescent Bay, can you truly understand the meaning of this southern proverb. From the depths below the sea, like a forest, soaked by the sea, look back from the mast of a shipwreck that I don’t know for many years. , Imperial Navy Secretary Dusterenkai asked a navy admiral behind him, "How is the channel road blockade? Even the width of eight kilometers is too large. Can the width of the passage be reduced to four kilometers?"
"Sorry, we have scuttled all the captured ships. A total of 137 ships on the Aden side were scuttled before and after. At present, not only the 3,000-meter waterway in the middle of the seaway is blocked, the seaways on both sides are still available. We have done our best to pass through..." The admiral of the Navy, who was questioned by the Secretary of the Navy, had an ugly face. He immediately turned over the record in his head, and his voice trembled slightly and reported the result to the chief.
"Is there still a total width of six kilometers on both sides?" Dusterenkai's eyes flickered
" It seems that we still imagined something for granted. It’s pretty good to be able to achieve this level. Don’t blame yourself!" Dusterenkai waved his hand indifferently, staring into the distance. The sea began to darken, and the corners of his mouth smiled. "It is normal for the strategic conception to differ from the actual situation. I originally thought that there would be a large number of Aden ships stranded in Mas Xingyue Bay, but there was only this point. It can be seen that the Adenites are here. The year was not good. At least the number of ships sunk by the Biyanan Sea Squadron in the empire reached more than 300, so there are not many reserved ships in Mas Crescent Bay. "
Du Stellenkai sighed, "It is impossible for the heavens to put all the favorable conditions on our side, otherwise the Aden Navy will run away early." For this battle, the Imperial Navy had already planned for it, if it was a dozen days ago , The imperial navy decided to take Mas Xingyue Bay as the final battle point. After more than ten days, with the full deployment of the imperial navy’s total of 24,000 people, the narrow center of Mas Xingyue Bay strait has become the largest Cemetery
More than one hundred ships sank at intervals of 30 meters. The densely spaced distances are just a few miles in length. This is mainly aimed at the Aden Navy’s ace weapons, the heavy armored ships of the Aden Navy, and the heavy armored ships of the Aden Navy. It is heavy and the draft is very deep. If you want to pass through the Mars Bay Strait, you will inevitably choose to take the deepest middle of the seaway. Now, because of the temporary blockage of a large number of sunken ships, when the other party finds that they can’t get through, they can only choose from both sides of the blockage area. Detour
And there, there will be the coverage of the forts on both sides of the strait! The two sides were originally strong forts built by the Aden Navy, but now they have become a huge weapon for the Imperial Navy to guard the channel of the strait. A total of three hundred Thors of various types are arranged on the fort, which is enough to start crazy at the enemy entering the shooting range at the first time. Shelling
This is a life-and-death battle that both sides are calculating. The Aden Navy is full of revenge, with one heart and one mind, in order to defeat the Imperial Navy and wash away various stigmas from its body. The Imperial Navy is also traveling thousands of miles away. Fighting at the entrance of the Gulf of Aden, then attacking Mas Xingyue Bay, and finally decided to face the murderous main force of the Aden Navy in Mas Bay. The two battlefields are separated by more than a thousand miles. If they are placed on land, it is completely unimaginable. It’s a matter, but this is the ocean, so it’s not uncommon to drag it all the way to hit hundreds of miles.
"Are there any new developments in the Aden Navy?"
Du Stellenkai has a solemn look in his eyes. Everyone feels uneasy about the sudden stagnation of the Aden Navy, and even thinks that the Aden Navy will withdraw because of this. In this case, countless people and empire have been devoted to this event. All the hard work of the main navy force has been exhausted. Once the main cunning fish of the Aden navy slips through the opened net, it will not be so easy to pull it out of the Gulf of Aden. , The emperor’s intentions and the battle for sea supremacy are all in this battle. If the Aden navy does not come, it is in vain, but Dustellenkai knows that the Aden navy will come, and the commander-in-chief of the Aden navy is quite Cunning character
80 li, close in front of my eyes, and the other party deliberately stopped, which is tantamount to disrupting the predetermined rhythm here, just like two deadly swordsmen holding the hilt in both hands, a sword of life and death, and the first to come out The sword does not mean taking the lead. Surprise is the real essence of a fatal blow. The transformation of the war situation is often inadvertently. Life and death are countdown at the beginning of the curtain.
"Still still in place"
The admiral of the Navy shook his head, hesitated and said, "What if the Aden Navy really doesn't come?"
"No, I have already arrived here, and there is no room to retreat. Otherwise, the main force of the Aden Navy will find that the 30 heavy iron-clad ships that it relies on the most have all sunk on their way home. Come, it’s impossible to choose to let it sink all the way. "The corners of Dusterenkai’s mouth are slightly upturned. The structural drawing analysis from the Imperial Admiralty has been sent here. It not only puts the latest heavy iron-clad ship of the Navy of Aden inside and out. I went over, explained various weaknesses, and also pointed out that because of material and data problems, the heavy iron armored ships of the Aden people are not suitable for long-distance attacks. If they exceed three hundred miles, they will tilt. Depending on the degree of hull construction, six hundred miles will be required. Will it not be able to sail at full speed, more than one thousand two hundred miles, the greatest possibility of sinking! The opponent came all the way, even if they stopped and repaired, they could not repair this latest iron armored heavy ship, so the opponent’s most powerful weapon was actually riddled with holes
If a heavy ironclad ship can be destroyed from the start, will the Aden Navy immediately withdraw?
will do it, don’t you run and wait to die?
The most hopeful combat weapon is vulnerable to a single blow. If you replace it with it, everyone will be hit!
Then what shall we do, do you want to chase?
This is just a toxic discussion!
At the layout meeting, the Imperial Navy Admirals put forward this kind and funny argument. If it weren’t for the exact analysis of the Admiralty, the Imperial Navy Admirals would not have thought that this powerful heavy iron-clad ship was actually a fancy, the people of Aden The people who have been pitted by this Red Dragon Palace are about to vomit blood. A new type of warship that is not suitable for use. It cost a huge amount of money and manpower to build, but it is a waste that cannot be left offshore
In this battle, even if the Aden Navy found out that it had made a mistake, there was no retreat.
In the royal capital of Aden, the Aden Navy has been criticized by thousands of people because of the destruction of Anthias. Among them, the Imperial Intelligence Department has given a lot of power and deliberately planted the failure of the Aden Army on the navy, and the Aden Army On the other hand, out of the need to safeguard their own interests, they chose to remain silent, or even cooperate secretly. The Aden Navy went out with hatred and ran for thousands of miles. If they didn’t even have the courage to fight, the Aden Navy was afraid that the King of Aden would collectively deal with it.
No one knows how many warship wrecks are under this beautiful blue wave, how much naval life this bay has swallowed, and the unique strategic location of Mas Xingyue Bay seems to be born for the value of the navy. Standing in this strait, naval officers can smell the navy from the sea breeze coming in. This is the navy’s tomb and naval arena.
Eight hundred years ago, the Flemish nobles of the Southern Subcontinent became the masters of Mars Xingyue Bay. The monarch of the Flemish dynasty once stood here, saying that the huge narrow bay in front of them was the richest in Flemish. Treasures were the most fertile fields of the dynasty, and the facts were also true. With the massive taxes paid by the merchant ships from Mas Xingyue Bay, the Flemish dynasty, which was only a local power, soon became the overlord of the southern part of the continent. Six hundred years ago , The sand people of Nanxi Continent rose and launched a unification war against Nanxi. The sands used the colorful peacock as the royal seal, so it was also called the Peacock Dynasty. As the overlord of the Nanxi Continent, the Peacock Dynasty was conquering the four southern continents. After three-quarters of the territory, the 474 warships that poured into the main force of the country and the navy navy, the naval overlord at the time, fought a decisive battle. This is the closest opportunity for the southern continent to be unified, as long as it can win the Mas Xingyue Bay. , The only southern coastal states of Nanxi that are still resisting will surrender,
The majestic and rough Maurya Dynasty, with its strong national power over Mount Tai, vowed to establish the first great empire in the southern continent. Unfortunately, naval battles are not land battles. For the invincible sand people on land, good luck is also in front of Mas Xingyue Bay. Suddenly, the 60,000-strong navy was defeated by the weak Nantu navy. The Maurya Dynasty was blocked before the final reunification. Until the collapse of the dynasty a hundred years later, the unity of the entire Nanxi area was still not achieved
In the following hundreds of years, Mas Xingyue Bay was the most heart-wrenching thorn in the hearts of the monarchs of the southern continent. Around Masi Xingyue Bay, how many countries’ navies were in this area as beautiful as a crescent moon The halberd in front of the bay is broken into sand, and the dreams of many monarchs’ overlords are broken and seamless. The curved and narrow walkway of Mas Xingyue is like an elegant moon. Therefore, the monarchs of Nanxi also call Masi Xingyue Bay as the crown of the southern continent. Brilliant gems, any country’s fleet must pass through this throat and must pay extremely high tolls if it wants to travel through the two oceans. It is said that only a quarter of income can be worth a medium-sized dynasty. Years of income, this huge wealth is enough to make people jealous
Who can occupy Mas Xingyue Bay is the future overlord of Nanxi Continent. If you want to be king, you must first grab this pearl, but the people of Nanxi did not expect that 80 years ago, the neighboring Aden sea area The Gulf of Aden rose up like a divine help, and soon unified the chaotic Gulf of Aden. Because of the blockade from the Erot Empire, the ambitious Adenites gave up the strategy of expanding to Obaro and expanded eastward in an all-round way. The southern subcontinent was scattered with sand. Unable to stop the offensive of the Adenites during the ascending period, the forces of the Adenites began to infiltrate Nanxi, and the Aden navy also passed through four Mars wars, and finally finally incorporated the southern pearl of Mas Xingyue Bay into the Aden sac.
"Commander-in-chief, the Aden Navy started to move here an hour ago." Just as Dusterenkai turned and walked off the bow of the battleship, the adjutant stumbled up from behind, and said with excitement in his mouth
"Did you drive in an hour ago?" Dusterenkai's eyes became sharp. From a distance, eighty nautical miles would not exceed four hours, that is, before 12 o'clock in the evening, Aden The navy will appear in Mas Crescent Bay
"This is really ~IndoMTL.com~God." Dusterenkai couldn't help taking a deep breath. At the wrong time and the wrong place, the luck of the Aden Navy is not so bad. He said before God did not give all the advantages to his own possibility, and the next moment, God will really put the most advantageous winning chips into his hands
Night is my best cover
As the last ray of light of the setting sun in the distance disappears, it is like a huge black covering everything in the strait. Even if you look at it, the Aden Navy can hardly find the sunken ship blocking the road in the strait. When will the Aden Navy choose not Well, I chose the most unfavourable night. It should be because I think it is impossible to see the target that is too far away at night, which can minimize the hit rate of the Imperial Thor’s bombardment. Dusterenkai's mouth is slightly curled. This consideration is normal. It’s not wrong. It’s fully in line with the conventional naval assault warfare, because the strait of the Mas Strait is really small in width. No matter how many warships the Imperial Navy can line up, it is difficult to exceed 80 warships.
Because each warship is deployed at least forty to fifty meters apart, otherwise once it needs to be mobilized, the steering of the hull will be a disaster
But what the other party did not expect is that the four forts built by Aden in Mas Bay are the main force of this output. The Thor fixed on the fort, the shooting accuracy is naturally more stable and more stable than shooting in the undulating cabin. Accurate, and the aiming direction looks directly at the weak side deck of the target
Three hundred stable and reliable Raytheon rapid-fire guns, which can fire at a high speed of ten shots per minute, like a heavy rain, sift the Aden Navy that had to go around in the shortest time!
