Power and Empire Chapter 401: The collision of famous generals (2)
The blue sky,
In the late autumn season, it’s empty and spotless,
The crystal clear clouds cover the sky with a thin layer of sand,
The beautiful and clear surface of Satsuma Lijiang, the river is like scales, and merchant ships are like weaving,
The white sails are like clouds flowing between the sky and the earth, very gorgeous,
"Pumping" three pointed and oarsed Samor military warships, splitting the torrential water in front, like three smooth and flexible eels in the rolling white waves
I saw three Siren warships of the Samor Navy! The merchant fleet along the way consciously stepped away from the main river.
"Turn the rudder to the right by 6 degrees! Reduce three knots! Lower the second-tier spinnaker!" A merchant captain violently pulled the rudder with both hands. White waves rolling on the river surface
The "Papa" water wave swelled from the dam, and a fierce impact hit the left chord of the ship's edge, causing the merchant ship to shake.
"What's the matter! Didn't you mean lowering the spinnaker?" the captain on the operation platform behind the hull roared, but the sailors in front of him looked at him dumbfounded.
"Ship! What a big ship!" A sailor's face was horrified and pointed to the direction behind the captain.
"What's the matter?" The merchant captain turned his head curiously, his face pale in shock.
I saw a huge triangular sharp bow, like a legendary giant Kraken, coming out of the waves behind him,
The huge hull shattered the waves of the river and passed quickly from the right side of the merchant ship.
The metal luster of the thick baffle covered on the side, shining coldly in the sun, turned out to be a giant warship with iron armor on its surface.
Five giant four-cornered sails on the tall five-story mast were blown up by the wind, and the 30-knot hurricane made the big-bellied merchant ships around them look awkward.
The squeezing waves made the merchant ship sway for a while, and it passed half of the hull in the blink of an eye.
On this huge warship, an engineer from the Dylans family happily introduced to the fat man, "The Grand Duke, this is the Samor Navy's finalized ship, the Sea Monster!
Its body design uses Dylans’s latest giant ship construction technology, five four-cornered main sails, eighteen auxiliary spinnakers, and forty wood pulp specially requested by the adults
Because of the rapid waterway characteristics of the inland rivers in the south, we designed the bottom of the ship as a triangular hull with a relatively deep draft but a narrower front.
This allows the Kraken-class battleship to break through the rapids of the inland river and move with the help of the wind.
Of course, this is only a medium-sized battleship after all,
There is still a certain distance between the ship and the carrying capacity of the giant Dylans Storm class warship that used to cross the sea.
But if you unload the door Thunder God Curve 2 and the various repair materials loaded in the gun chamber,
The carrying capacity of the Kraken can even exceed the main force carrier of the Dylans Sea and meet the requirements of a soldier specified by the Grand Duke.
It's just that the construction is more time-consuming. Only 6 ships can be built a year. This is already the limit of our Dylans Shipyard!
After talking about this, the engineer of Dylans rolled up the careful drawing in his hand,
This is the highest-end construction sketch of Dylans, which contains ten years of hard work and ambition of Dylans at sea.
"Yes, as long as it can be made, everything else is easy to handle" The fat man nodded in satisfaction and asked enthusiastically,
The rushing river breeze mixed with water vapor on his face, but this did not reduce the fat man’s enthusiasm,
"If I double the size of the shipyard and guarantee your funding and material needs,
How many ships can you reach? "
"Sorry to the Grand Duke, but we can only express regret for your request and generosity,
It's not just scale that limits manufacturing, but also skilled craftsmen!
We only have 5,000 skilled shipbuilders in Dylans. This is the result of decades of training. If adults really want to equip the Samor Navy with sea monsters in the short term,
"So there is only one way?" Engineer Dylans whispered with solemn expression
"Oh? What way?" The fat man curiously asked
Engineer Dillance looked at both sides cautiously, until the fat man waved his hand to make the guards back, then he said solemnly in his ear
"The Hulins, our former enemy of Dyrens on the sea! The entire south, only they have the strength to build the sea monster,
If the Grand Duke can let the Hulin people provide the same number of craftsmen,
I believe that 2 years, it only takes 2 years,
The tyrannical fleet of forty Samor Krakens decided to be a nightmare for all sea enemies! "
"Ask a craftsman from the Hulin! This is not easy!" The fat man frowned when he heard it, and did not continue to ask, but fell silent for a while,
Sirens!
The latest main battleship of the Samor Navy,
Thinking that Samor will soon have an official naval capital ship, Fatty feels an uncontrollable excitement in his heart,
But,
The thin number is the deadlock of the Samor Navy!
Compared with the Hulin tribe of wolves who dispatch dozens of warships at every turn, compared with the main navies of other kingdoms, the Samor Navy is still too young.
The relationship between the Hulin and Samor is like glue, not bad,
It is almost impossible for the Hu Lins, who have always been conservative to the outside world, to agree to this proposal that may threaten their maritime supremacy.
"Hey! Think of another way for this matter!" The fat man waved his hand to let Engineer Dillance go down, rubbing his temples in pain,
Fatty has been busy recently, with a trace of paleness on his slightly thin face, and looking at the end of the river with complicated eyes,
Fatty specifically issued a transfer order this time to transfer the only sea monster that is officially in service from the southern port, and personally board the ship at the outskirts of Crest,
All the way down the river to verify the combat performance of the Kraken driving in the inland river,
From the perspective of adaptability to inland waterways, apart from being too large, the rotation is not flexible. For the performance of this Kraken, Fatty is quite satisfied.
This was originally not designed for inland waterways
The battlefield of the Kraken should be the vast sea!
The long and narrow hull design with a length of 35 meters and a width of meters allows the Kraken to have both marine and inland river functions.
The most advanced five-mast propulsion auxiliary sail design and forty oars protruding from both sides can still travel high in the inland river even when the wind is not strong.
Externally coated with iron armor, the internal cannon is equipped with ten powerful Raytheon curved cannons,
There is a good balance between attack and defense,
It can completely become a dual-purpose assault ship for transportation, but the number is too small.
Adding to the three Krakens that are still being built at the Southern Dylans Shipyard, the Samor Navy has only four in total.
Fatty knows that this number is only enough for general coastal patrol missions at most,
Whether you want to become a fleet in the vast sea, or to achieve the mobile strategic mobilization capability of transporting more than 10,000 troops,
There is still a considerable distance,
"It may be that you have been in a hurry!" The fat man sighed, and looked back from the river in the distance. In the distance, he could vaguely see a Samor military wharf.
"Woohoo!" The bugles on the dock rang, and three Samor warships responsible for clearing the way escorted the large sea monsters into the port.
"Cracking" the sea monster's huge body and the stone ladder docked at the pier made a squeezing sound, "pop" the wide baffle fell from the ship's gunwale and hit the riverside dam,
"Salute!"
Samor soldiers standing along the river "pop" stand straight up together,
"Grand Duke!" Lidarcus, who was in charge of picking up the ship, came over from the front quickly and walked to the exit of the ship's side.
Just wait for the figure of the fat man to appear on the ship’s side,
"This is something urgently delivered from the Duke of Zhivadin's Mansion." Lidarcus quickly stepped forward and handed the thing in front of the fat man.
It is a silver arc moon crest, with three crystal clear sky blue diamonds inlaid on the edge of the arc moon crest,
"The silver moon three-star crest of the court of King Kujit?"
When the fat man saw what Lidarcus was holding, his expression of excitement suddenly dimmed a little, and after a while he condensed his voice.
"I expected that they would send someone again, but I didn't expect to come so soon. It seems that Turga's situation is not optimistic! Who is coming this time?"
"It is said that this time it is a member of the Khergit royal family, um...! Lidarcus hesitated for a while, staring at the fat man with weird eyes
"It's a woman, a very beautiful woman! Miss Mao Manaqing from the Maomo family personally accompanied her!"
"Mao Mona Qing?" Hearing the name, the fat man's expression was stunned, and a beautiful and delicate woman flashed in his mind.
It seems that I specialize in disgusting Mao Mo family's three conditions to work together,
Thinking of the old fox's deflated look, a strange smile appeared on the corner of the fat man’s mouth,
The Maomao family is still softened, and I have calculated a sigh of disgust. Without the Maomao family's troubles, the problems in the west will not be a problem!
"Hehe! It seems that the old Mao Mo fox is nothing more than that." The fat man smiled and wanted to continue teasing,
However, Lidarcus’ next words solidified the fat man’s smile and turned into a weird embarrassment on his face.
"My lord, this time Mao Mo Naqing personally brought in compensation from the Mao Mo family!"
"What!" These words made the fat man feel depressed and have a flat impulse! He glared at Lidarcus and felt that this guy was looking at him with a smile on his face,
I laugh at it more than flattery,
"Next time you talk like this for half, I will let you change into two parts!" The fat man can only use an angry curse to cover up his gaffe,
I can't help but feel a little admiration for Mao Modain's old and spicy methods, he is indeed a sophisticated character,
Even people bring money to Japanwading, which not only shows the sincerity of the Maomo family, but also forces the fat man to make an unavoidable choice.
The fat man is embarrassed,
No matter which one you choose~IndoMTL.com~The Maomo family is the winner!
What a headache! Fatty's mouth is faintly bitter
Choose money! So Samor must send troops to help the Maomo family stabilize the west,
Selecting people, the marriage relationship between the Maomo family and the Samor will inevitably make the position of the Maomo family more stable.
Mao Mona Ching, who has the dual identity of the Western Alliance and the co-lord of the Snow Mountain tribe, will inevitably become an indispensable member of the new power core structure of Wichia.
This old man who has been lurking in the west seems to be looking at himself with his bright and sly eyes,
The fat man felt that this difficult game was laid out when he decided to enter the west.
"Old fox! I didn't play the cards according to the rules, and the beauty calculated the sugar-coated cannonballs. "The fat man scolded annoyedly, "Be careful, I ate the beauty and the sugar-coated, and send the cannonballs back to you!"
