~: 1991 The Roar of the Dragon of the Sea

  The wind and snow landed on the seaside Imperial New Kyoto Northwest Sea City,

  

From the emperor's office at the highest point of the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Arthur, it can be seen that the landscape of the Northwest Sea City with a population of more than 600,000 people is very magnificent. The sharp spires of the adjacent buildings are brightly lit under the snow, and the shape of a well is The outer streets of the city are criss-crossing, separating the commercial area from the dock area, and rising from the barbaric powerful empire in the northwest, which will shock everyone who comes here for the first time. The emperor of the God of War, who was terrified, his office was behind the long snow-covered palace wall. The outer wall of the palace was crimson red, like human blood and a battle flag. Outside the palace wall was the whole team. Wearing imperial imperial guards in black military uniforms, this palace and the imperial new Kyoto show the weather that dominates the world. The huge red palace is called "red palace" by the empire.

  

The coldness of the Icadian style and the romance of the Sarande style are also reflected in every decoration of this majestic empire Kyoto, with a fairy-like dazzle in the red, and the wide Raffhur River 50 meters outside the Red Palace On the other side of the river, the business district on the other side of the river is woven with people, and Empire Avenue, which intersects with Imperial Kyoto, traverses from the Emperor Arthur Palace where the emperor is located to the coast of Kyoto. There are many shops, and under the white snow on the roof The crowd, with a figure in a handsome military uniform mixed in the middle, the park is full of laughing children,

  

A black horse-drawn carriage drove across the street, and a colorful billboard was hung from the body. The sign reads "Variland Perfume, Bringing You Top Beauty!" This is a recent trend from the far south of Poutuo District It is said that those merchant ships entering the Inland Sea have such hanging objects on their sides. In order to be able to open up the situation in the inner sea port and seize the market, the propaganda of the merchants is almost overwhelming. The coast of Xinjing is snowy, and the waves float with white ice floes. The big imperial battleship cracked the ice on the sea surface, crushing the frozen ice surface for the merchant fleet behind. The cargo on the dock was still piled up. The merchant fleet and warships were sailing on the sea at the same time, some from other countries The deck of the merchant ship was full of sight-seeing people, and the fat man turned around in front of the window with a glass of wine, looking at the special envoy of the emperor Istan I, who was anxiously behind him, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency has also seen that the Empire’s current The center of military strength is still in the Slavic wilderness further north, and the empire has just decided to be in Beijing. There are a variety of tasks, and the imperial navy cannot be dispatched in winter. It is really impossible to assist the Istanian empire to contain Feisan navy. Action, in fact, I personally recommend you to find the Stirling Navy, their navy is closer to Feishan, and has the advantage of being more familiar with the thinner navy of Feishan!"

  

"But the Strand Navy was defeated by His Majesty's Navy! If it is His Majesty's Navy, the Feishan Navy will be suppressed! If His Majesty promised to dispatch the Navy, Istan was willing to give the Empire five million gold coins for military expenses immediately. You can pay half!" The special envoy of Emperor Istan I was a middle-aged man with a serious face, and his thin body was wearing the black tail-cut dress of the foreign official of Istan. However, there was a military temperament all over him. If you are a real foreign official, you will know that this emperor who looks humble and embarrassed, is a guy who eats people and does not spit bones, and will not show such eagerness from the beginning. Expression, it feels like shouting to kill me!

  

"For five million, let the empire set up a strong enemy in the inner sea, it's more than worth it!" The fat man rolled his eyes and said without hesitation, the Estonians finally decided to start with Fei Shan, which is one for the Falcon Empire A good opportunity to watch the tigers in the mountains, the other party is a soldier, he can see at a glance, five million military expenses may be very touching for other countries, but this is a falcon empire, a rich falcon empire! Five million, which is only one-tenth of a quarter’s revenue for the Empire, and I don’t know what the mighty emperor of Istan thought. Such a small amount of money would like the Empire to send the Navy to attack Fissan. Playing forwards, the shells made by the old son are not worth the money! The fat man said unkindly that if he wanted to mobilize the imperial navy, there would be no more than 30 million troop costs.

  

"thirty million!"

  

The Special Envoy of Estan hesitated. If he hadn’t seen the terrible power of the Imperial Dragon-class battleship, he would directly choose to turn around and go away, but now, he feels that the price is not outrageous, 30 million is the Estan Empire The total income of the past year, although the Istanians have made a huge fortune in northern Gangfei, it is also very difficult to get such a large military expenditure in one breath. Stan’s soldiers, nobles, and because of this wealth, the voice of the declaration of war against Fei Shan within the Istan Empire has been thunderous,

  

   "We can't afford 30 million, but if His Majesty is willing to help this, our Emperor, our emperor, replied that one-third of Fei Shan's land should be used as compensation!"

  

The embassy of emperor istan took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice that he found that the dead fat emperor really didn't see any good or no relief, he grinned slightly, and decided to play the final hole card that he could take out. Based on the analysis of the powerful and barbaric empire in the northwest of Obaro, the Falcon Empire greedily annexed Gangfei and vigorously annexed Gaul. I heard that it expanded a thousand miles last month, proving that the head of this powerful empire, which is In front of this young emperor, the inner ambition can be felt even if there is nothing left,

  

   "Feishan's land is used as a condition for the Falcon Empire to dispatch the navy!"

  

His proposal was approved by Istan I. Feishan was a rival of the Istanian Empire. In order to defeat this century-old enemy, the Istanian emperor has been deployed for 20 years. For the army alone, the Istanian Empire has gained the Falcon Empire. After the Thor, the self-confidence was enough to open the opponent’s land defense line. The army directly hit the capital of the Feishan Kingdom and wiped out the Feishan completely from this land with a sharp spear and curved sword, but it has been late I didn’t do it for a long time, because the strong Feisan navy has already reached the coast of Istan, like a giant shark swimming on the coast of the Istan Empire, which may bite at any time, making the entire Istan Empire’s coastal defense extremely nervous.

  

Once the two countries fight, when the army of the Istanian Empire advances towards King Feishan, the army of the Kingdom of Feishan may also land on the coast of the Istanian Empire at the same time, causing an unpredictable situation in the entire battle situation. It was originally planned to spend a year to build its own navy, but the plan to fully take over the non-navy was unsuccessful. Some construction docks in the Eastern Province were also damaged by major unknown forces last month. The naval construction plan It can’t be carried out anymore. Since it’s not possible internally, we have to look for foreign aid. The one who can suppress Feisan’s naval fleet, which is most attractive to the Emperor Istan, naturally defeats the Inner Sea overlord in the battle for the southern coastline of Gangfei The Falcon Empire Navy of the Strand Navy,

  

What made Emperor Istan so half-cut was that the imperial dragon-class warship sent as a gift deeply shocked the emperor who had only a half-knowledge of marine hegemony. The emperor originally thought that the Falcon Empire Navy and The strength of Naval Strant was up and down, but when the huge dragon-class battleship unfolded the cannon with the order, a black baffle fan turned up like the reverse scale of the dragon, and the entire viewing platform was Of the Istanian nobility almost stunned

  

"so big!"

  

"It's a pleasing performance! I just don't know what it feels like to stand on it!" "A variety of emotions are emitted from the observation platform. The imperial dragon level is enough to make any sea opponent feel the scalp and the gun barrel open. The evaluation here is enough to let most of the emperor's enemies who know what the dragon-level gun bin opens open want to die.

  

The Istanian nobles on the viewing platform pointed at the giant dragon class, just like looking at a magnificent decoration, as the last item in the process of taking over the ceremony, is to make this ship represent the strongest in the sea of ​​the Falcon Empire. The armed Dragon-class warship fired at a target erected in advance to prove the combat effectiveness of the entire battleship. Looking at the densely opened baffle on the side of the Dragon-class battleship, it did not look as full as the giant naval trebuchet. Sense of force,

  

  The Istanian aristocrats on the viewing platform were all talking "No way! Even such a small tube can hit a huge warship!"

  

   "In addition to the shock at first glance, this warship without any trebuchets, trebuchets, or even ship fenders can defeat the Feisan naval battleship!"

  

"Just kidding, it's just a little more beautiful." Except for His Majesty the Emperor and a few people who know the terrible navy of the Falcon Empire, most Istanians have very little knowledge of the navy. The role is only to stay on fishing, small businesses, and the suppression of the old enemy Feisan Navy. The total number of battleships of the entire Istanian Navy is less than fifty, including ten large warships, and the Navy observes the ceremony. This kind of thing is absolutely unheard of

  

   "A warship like this really has the power to suppress the ground?"

  

   Even the confidant generals under the command of the Emperor Istan also whispered. They were dissatisfied with the emperor's development of the navy. The empire had enough army to occupy the continent. Can the navy be strong enough to hit the land? There are not many people who have this idea in the Istan Army,

  

Hearing various voices in his ears, Emperor Istan took a deep and complex breath, waved his hand, and ordered "It's time to start a test shot!" A flag-speaker standing behind him waved his hand. flag,

  

   "It's a test order!"

  

The captain of the dragon-class battleship saw the semaphore from the observation platform and gave a solemn order. He and the gunners in the dragon-class battleship were the elite of the imperial navy. This time, in addition to bringing the battleship to the port controlled by the Istanians, At the same time, he came as a coach and part of his duty as a gift for the warship was to help the Istan Empire train a group of sailors capable of operating the dragon-class battleship. As the first appearance of the dragon-class battleship, everyone including the captain was holding it in his heart. There was a tremendous noise from the viewing platform that had long been heard here. Although I couldn’t understand what the Istanians were talking about on the viewing platform, the receivers sent by several Istanians from my side had nothing to say. Without a respectful smile, the captain can also feel the other party's contempt for this ship's most powerful force

  

"Laugh, I hope you can still laugh!" The captain grinned recklessly, facing the microphone placed on the command bridge, shouting, "The bombardment is ready, the fortress target 150 meters ahead !"

  

"Slap!" The iron wire that fixed the gun mount was unfastened, and the artillery expertly pushed the gun track. The loading belt and the aiming target were completed in five minutes. The entire row of black and dark muzzles was facing The direction of the target is slowly raised, like a hammer of Thor who is brewing pure strength in the basket.

  

"Look, those little black tubes can still move!" Once again, a loud voice was heard on the viewing platform. Many people stretched their necks and prepared the sound. At the same time, they passed through the copper tube inserted in the gun barrel to the battleship. Command bridge,

  

The so-called test target is a small fortress that was temporarily confronted with stones 100 meters away, but it is only 30 meters long and wide. This is an Istanian engineer who has not seen the volley power of the Dragon-class battleship. Was built by expanding the bombardment by two times. In their view, the bombardment of a naval battleship is already such a limit,

  

   "All shots! Three consecutive shots!" The captain held his breath and shouted violently, the sound exploded in the gun barrel through the copper tube

  

   Rumble! "The sound is like a huge thunder shaking the port, all the sound of discussion was suppressed, and the more unexpected Istan nobles were frightened to death on the spot, and the huge wave even swept to the observation platform 100 meters away, like a gust of wind. Turned over the table in front, led a flying dog, the people watching the ceremony ran chaos,

  

Three horizontal rows of white smoke on the nearly turbulent sea were mixed with flames and sprayed from the side of the dragon-class battleship. The shining white light scorched everyone's eyes. The huge battleship almost panned across the sea. Meters, a wave of several meters high, and in the distance, the so-called target fortress was hit by countless artillery shells, just like the straw swept by the gust of wind. It was directly lifted by half in a dense explosion, and some Thor shells The notch penetrated into the fortress, the red explosion fire burst again from the inside of the fortress, the gravel was scattered and spattered, and it was completely leveled in just a few seconds

  

   "His!"

  

A sound of inhalation, the generals of the army of the Istan Empire paled, looking at the small fortress that had completely disappeared, the mouth slightly open, it was too terrible, such power has exceeded their siege weapons Imagine the limit, even if a powerful warship throws stones, it takes at least dozens of strikes to destroy such a small fortress to be able to bring down the outer wall, and even under the concentrated attack of this powerful naval battleship, even one No minute can support it. If the enemy facing such a battleship is himself, the army generals have no idea how to face this weapon.

  

Emperor Istan I, who stood on the observation platform, almost stood up from the observation platform of the receiving port. His face was red and bright, and his eyes could not be directly attached to this dragon-class battleship, just like the monster in the sea. The gigantic posture revealed by the super battleship show, the hand that clenched into a fist was indeed the dragon of the sea! It was not just Kyoto that was destroyed by such a force! The Navy of Feishan was only trembling under such power "

  

The ceremony shook the entire Istan, and even the Inland Sea area. Even after receiving the news, the Kingdom of Feishan quietly sent naval intelligence personnel to visit the ruins where the target was located, and the people who came back looked pale. A few pieces of crushed stones were returned to the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Faisan. "If placed on the sea in proportion to the small fortress, it would be the length of a large Ferro-class warship proud of the Faisan Navy. The opponent's blow was enough to break down a large Ferroya class, and the warship may break from the middle because it could not bear it! Fortunately, the Istanians only have one such warship, otherwise, our navy will return early! The possibility of continuing to wander on the coastline and encounter again!

  

"In this way, we simply cannot contend, if it is a head-on battle! Our navy may be wiped out by the whole army." The senior officers of Feisan looked at the reports provided by the intelligence personnel, and their faces were dignified. According to the news on the coast, they knew that ~lightnovelpub.net~ the opponent is the latest Falcon Empire fleet that has risen in the open sea. The Strand Navy not only suffered a great deal of damage because of this battle, but also the old navy minister who was known as the protector also stepped down , The first new minister of the new navy who took office immediately announced to the falcon navy that he would open up the entire inland sea, and said that the navy of Strand was not interfering with the open sea of ​​the falcon empire,

  

   If the sea area is the territory, this is a complete loss of the city and the land, the loss of power and humiliation of the country, the news came, not only the inland sea uproar, but the Feishan navy uproar,

  

"The brazen Strand Coward!" The naval hardliners within the Feishan navy expressed their remorse for this. They expressed their extreme contempt for the incompetence and spineless performance of the Strant, and they were also in the sea. The inland sea overlord that has dominated for decades has failed to be shameful, but once failed, even the courage to continue the battle is gone, so that the same-famous Feishan Navy also feels ashamed. The Rand Navy has clearly understood that the gap is huge, and the consequence of continuing the battle is perdition.

  

  "It seems that we have to be prepared, if we can also obtain such a super warship Dragon class! At least, we also need to ensure that we don’t face such a warship!" Admiral Fei Shan made a decision,

  

The Falcon Empire Dragon-class battleship appeared on the eve of the forthcoming war between the two countries, so that the naval strength of the two sides was quietly changing. Perhaps even the fat man did not expect that a small stone unintentionally dropped this sea area.
