Due to the lack of information on the sea, the emperor’s trip received the news from the Mediterranean front, saying that the Imperial Mediterranean Fleet Yan Donglai was injured in the battle to Xiping to recover. The foreign general Sires horsepower is the main avoidance of the battle, and the general situation is in charge of the general situation. Agree, but the entire Mediterranean fleet was shocked, drinking frozen drinks at the anchorage of the Fatagusta fortress to enjoy the coolness!

　　

The actions of the Mediterranean Fleet aroused everyone's attention. The military, including the Political Department, the General Staff and the Intelligence Department, are semi-independent institutions that have the right to report related affairs to their superiors. Everyone said that the Mediterranean Fleet is contrary to "the enemy must fight." Thoughts, timid and afraid of death!

　　

　　 Yan Changwu asked Yu Chenglong in this way, he said without hesitation: "In response to your majesty, when you call the generals, listen to what they say, proceed from reality and seek truth from facts!"

　　

　　 Yan Changwu applauded and laughed: "Yu Shan, you have put my thoughts into practice!"

　　

　　 Yan Changwu has a wealth of ideas for governing the country and has formed a system. What Yu Chenglong is talking about is just one of them.

　　

Since that is the case, I will wait for the generals to make specific judgments. Yan Changwu observed the environment and saw the masts exposed on both sides of the channel at the junction of the sea and the mouth of the canal. At first glance, it was a sunken ship, and there were some engineering ships on both sides. There is no shipwreck in the middle of the channel.

　　

　　 Baipi blocked the Suez Canal with a sunken ship, causing huge losses to people and ships. What they never expected was that the Chinese cleared the channel in just three days!

　　

The South China Empire’s advanced technology and powerful engineering capabilities are reflected in all aspects. It is not only building houses and demolishing houses, but also dredging waterways. If you go a little further, the Chinese are good at digging sand in rivers for construction purposes. This technology is strong. According to incomplete statistics, the sand dug by the Chinese in the river channel accounts for more than 90% of the global river sand supply!

　　

The digging of small and fine sand in the river is all done, and it is not a problem to salvage the sunken ship in the river. The Chinese also creatively used large water bombs to destroy the sunken ship in the river, and the sunken ship was broken into pieces. When a powerful bomb went to sink the sunken ship, the water column that exploded was a small mountain high, and the fried fish made the fishermen a fortune!

　　

　　 In this way, Baipi’s shipwreck became extremely ridiculous, and the battleship formation led by the emperor passed through the Suez Canal magnificently through the mouth of the Suez Canal and entered the Mediterranean Sea.

　　

　　The dragon returns to the sea!

　　

　　 One after another super battleships approached, the scene was quite spectacular. The officers and soldiers of the original Mediterranean Fleet were dizzy, dizzy, and could not help whispering.

　　

　　 "One, two, three, four, five, six!" They were shocked to see the six Empire-class battleships approaching!

　　

　　 The entire South China Empire built ten Empire-class battleships, and there are already nine in the Mediterranean. Except for one that is still under repair, most of them have been concentrated in the Mediterranean.

　　

　　 "Empire" class battleship!

　　

　　 represents the ultimate maritime armed forces, with a light load displacement of 2500 tons, a full load displacement of 3,600 tons, and 850 officers and soldiers on board.

　　

　　 There are 102 well-polished cast iron cannons on the ship. What surprised the officers and soldiers of the original Mediterranean fleet is that the new Empire-class battleships are all equipped with 42-pound cannons!

　　

　　 30 42-pounder guns are arranged on the lower artillery deck;

　　

　　 28 24-pounder guns are arranged on the middle artillery deck, 2 less than other artillery decks because it has boarding hatches on both sides;

　　

　　 30 12-pounder guns are arranged on the upper artillery deck;

　　

　　 12 6-pounder guns are arranged on the stern tower, and two 70-pound breech short-barrel guns are arranged on the stern tower.

　　

It is worth mentioning that this is the second time that the South China Imperial Navy is equipped with a 42-pound cannon. The 42-pound cannon was used before. Later, it was discovered that the 32-pound cannon had high accuracy, fast firing speed, and uniform caliber also conducive to logistics supplies. Pound cannon.

　　 Now I finally believe that the first class battleship should be equipped with a main gun that is different from the second class ship, so the 42-pound cannon was used.

　　

　　 These awesome cannons embodies the ultimate maritime armament of the South China Empire!

　　

　　 An admiral muttered to his adjutant: "Excellent, this time we have changed the ship!"

　　

　　 There is also a big surprise that appears in people’s eyes, that is the new type two battleship class, the "China" class battleship with 98 guns!

　　

　　 "Zhonghua" class battleships use the names of all major cities in China, such as "Sunrise City", "Peking", "Xiping", "Fuzhou" and so on.

　　

In the South China Empire battleship sequence, the first and second class battleships have ship names, and they can also be represented by the number of ships of that class. The latter battleships, including the third class battleships, can only use hull numbers because they are manufactured. Too much!

　　

The 　　 "Zhonghua" class battleship has 98 guns, a light load displacement of 2,200 tons, a full load displacement of 3,200 tons, and 750 officers and soldiers on board.

　　

　　 has three layers of gun decks, equipped with 28 32-pounder guns, 60 18-pounder guns, and 10 12-pounder guns. This class of battleship has a very special alias, also known as the "Chaotic Cloak" class battleship!

　　

　　 The main reason why this class of ships is given such an alias is that they are equipped with an astonishing number of 60 doors and 18 pounds, which is extremely rare!

　　

You see, the gun calibers on each gun deck of the "Imperial Class" Tier 1 battleship are 30 42-pounders, 28 24-pounders, 30 12-pounders, and 12 6-pounders. They are equipped on the "Indian Ocean" class 2 battleships. It is 30 32-pounder guns, 30 24-pounder guns, 20 18-pounder guns, and 10 12-pounder guns. The third-tier "Southeast Asia-class" battleship is equipped with 30 32-pounder guns, 30 24-pounder guns, and 16 9-pounder guns, their number of second-class guns is less than that of the "Zhonghua" class battleships, equipped with a full 60 18-pounders.

　　

　　 "Zhonghua"-class battleships are quite distinctive~lightnovelpub.net~ The pursuit of extreme rate of fire!

　　

　　 The designers believe that the "Empire" class battleship is too expensive and too heavy to be deployed globally.

　　

　　 While the "Indian Ocean" class two battleships have a small number of guns, and the "Southeast Asia class" class three battleships cannot suppress the enemy's first and second class battleships.

　　

　　 Therefore, they brainstormed and produced the "Zhonghua" class battleship, which they believed was sufficient to fight the enemy's first-tier battleships and beat the enemy's second- and third-tier battleships.

　　

　　 Their advantage is that the caliber of the 18-pounder cannon is large enough to threaten battleships of all classes, while the 12-pounder cannon cannot penetrate the bulwarks of battleships.

　　

　　In the view of the South China Imperial Navy, the 18-pounder gun has the fastest rate of fire among heavy artillery, while the 32-pounder gun is the one that the South China Navy plays smoothly. Let the "China"-class battleship become a nightmare for the enemy with a high rate of fire!

　　

　　The designer said triumphantly: "You need to be powerful and powerful, have a rate of fire and a rate of fire, chaotic cloaks of battleships, blast for a while, blast the enemy!"

　　

　　 A total of eighteen "Zhonghua" class battleships came, and the caliber of the guns protruding from the gun door fell in the eyes of the veterans of the original Mediterranean fleet. They blinked, knowing that these newcomers were coming to do something!

　　

What followed were 36 "Southeast Asia-class" Tier 3 battleships. As a result, the South China Empire deployed a total of 209 battleships on the Mediterranean Sea (the original 149 ships). Go to fight the white skin, the battle of destroying the continent!
