1890 King of Southeast Asia

On November 20, the southern waters of South China welcomed a rare good weather, with little wind and waves at sea and little shaking on the ship.

In the Java Sea, the Chang'an, which had completed all equipment installation and only conducted preliminary surveys, was sailing at a low speed. Three thousand meters east of the Chang'an, a group of people on the Immigration cruise ship crowded on the deck, looking at the huge warships in the distance.

"She is so beautiful, just like an art student, but it feels a little different from the image on the day of the fleet review?" Cyril said briskly on the second deck.

The emperor, officials and military representatives, foreign consuls, etc. were all on the second deck.

"After the fleet review, we made different degrees of improvements to the two warships, hoping to explore the future development model. After all, the navy's renewal is too fast, and it will be outdated if you are not careful." Xu Sunming explained with a telescope.

"Excuse me, are we just here to watch your country's warships sailing today?" The Japanese military attaché couldn't sit still. The whole ship was talking and laughing happily, but he didn't mention the topic.

Japan was very angry that Nanhua stopped Japan from rushing into the capital and going south to the plains. For Japan, which hopes to "swallow an elephant", if it enters the core area this time, this experience will be extremely important and will directly affect Japan's behavior.

"Be patient, why are you so anxious? Be patient~" Bi Sheng said sarcastically on the side, and the Japanese's face suddenly turned red.

It's not because of this short sentence, after all, the Japanese are famous for their tolerance.

But a week ago, because they were really unwilling to end it, Japan finally decided to let the lower-level officers carry out spontaneous military actions. Thousands of Japanese troops, led by various low-level officers, detoured and attacked the Nanhua Army's strongholds.

Want to use the advantage of numbers to make the Nanhua Army exhausted and reveal loopholes, at most private Marseille, the Japanese are very familiar with it.

The Japanese plan went smoothly. Although the unarmed Japanese rushed forward and got beaten up, dozens of teams still crossed the traffic channel defended by Nanhua.

Then on the way, they encountered the checkpoint defended by the French...

After marching in the wild all the way, in the end, except for a large number of Japanese soldiers who left a pile of corpses because they encountered "bandits", the rest were detained by Nanhua and the French.

"Ahem!" Liu Yiming coughed and interrupted the conversation.

"We welcome envoys from all countries to participate in this military exercise. It is more like a weapons demonstration than a military exercise, showing the world the achievements of Nanhua's development in recent years."

"Here, I would like to thank our French friends in particular. In order to fully demonstrate the capabilities of the new battleships, we need a target ship that is powerful enough but cheap enough. Nanhua does not have a warship that meets the conditions..." Liu Yiming said with regret.

"After learning about it, French friends specially provided the retired Turenne ironclad ship. Thank you very much for the help of French friends. May the friendship between South and France last forever." Liu Yiming raised his glass and signaled to everyone.

"We have arrived at the designated sea area. The distance between the two sides is 3,000 meters. It is absolutely safe. Don't be impatient. The show will start soon." Liu Yiming took a sip of wine.

"Here we are. Azimuth 270. There are telescopes here. Please take them if you need them." Xu Sunming pointed to a pile of telescopes and said.

In the distance, a three-masted warship with an inward tilt above the waterline was towed to the designated location by a tugboat. The assisting sailors raised the sails and filled the coal.

The Turenne ironclad ship, the first generation of French ironclad ships, iron-clad wood, deck 203, waterline 152-250, comprehensive protection layout.

"What does the British Empire think of this new battleship?" Sam quietly walked to Cyril and asked in a low voice.

"It is still uncertain what this battleship will do. Strategically, it has incomparable advantages, but in actual use, the lack of medium-caliber guns will affect its firepower projection." Cyril said both positive and negative, and what he said was well known.

Just kidding, two ambassadors, especially both of them are from the blood of the Saxons, one is the world hegemon, and the scene is so sensitive, whispering? As if others are blind? .

"Is Britain interested in this weapon? Our Admiralty proposed a corresponding proposal, but it was rejected by the Navy." Sam asked a little uneasily.

The Navy is definitely a combination of the most traditional and the most fashionable. Even the American Navy, which later grew into a world hegemon, was full of superstitious behaviors when it ruled the world, just like not washing coffee cups-a bit like drinking tea without washing tea cups.

In this case, the Navy held its head high and told the design department that they needed a more powerful warship than the Xianyang, preferably with a 330mm main gun and a 256mm secondary main gun, with a 152mm secondary gun.

Finally, the design department gave a ton, 330mm*4, 256mm*8, 152mm*12, armor over 300mm, strong firepower, thick armor, but relatively slow-design speed 15 knots.

"The British Empire Navy's evaluation department is evaluating the value of this battleship. The design bureau has begun to draw, but has not discussed the corresponding construction plan." Cyril paused.

But Sam didn't notice it, he exhaled as if relieved, "The British Empire doesn't dare to try, Nanhua is just asking for trouble."

"We also think that Nanhua is too reluctant. After half a year of evaluation, London believes that Nanhua's industrial strength can only barely support the construction of such a huge warship. Thank God if there is no problem." Cyril said in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes! For the United States, this is also a big problem." Sam nodded in agreement.

"Has it started?" Suddenly someone pointed at the Chang'an and said.

Gu Fan and Zhao Jiaxing were on the Chang'an at this time, and they were still a little flustered.

"Has the fault been eliminated?" Zhao Jiaxing stood anxiously in the command tower, looking at the Immigration not far away.

"After replacing the spare parts, it is still a bit reluctant to drive such a heavy turret with electric transmission." Gu Fan walked into the command tower.

"The Luojing is equipped with mechanical transmission. If you want to change it, you can re-plan it when you go back." Zhao Jiaxing sighed. The continuous experiments for several days have put a lot of pressure on the motor.

ID card-

Because it was decided to build a "new" warship, it was experimental in nature and used a lot of new technologies. As for why the Luojing returned to the mechanical structure-because the productivity of high-power motors was insufficient.

"Report! Preliminary parameters calculated, all units ready!" The first mate reported.

The two looked at each other, raised their hands and looked at the watch.

Gu Fan nodded to Zhao Jiaxing, Zhao Jiaxing looked at the Immigration and took a deep breath.

"Begin the action!" Zhao Jiaxing gave the first mate an order.

"Target ship, start attacking." The first mate picked up the phone and the voice was transmitted to various departments.

Ring...

The harsh ring rang, and Chang'an quickly entered combat status.

"No. 1 turret report, everything is normal..."

"No. 1 power compartment report, the instrument is operating normally, the air pressure is normal..."

"Parameters calculated, direction..."

...

"Oh my god! Although I have always known that he has twelve main guns, it is still shocking to see it like this." Sam's tone was exaggerated.

"Large-caliber main guns have a slow firing rate. In terms of cost-effectiveness, second-class battleships are the most suitable weapons, and the price and comprehensive combat effectiveness are balanced." Cyril held the telescope.

The noise on the ship was much quieter, and everyone was watching the Chang'an, whose turret was slowly turning in front.

…

"Clear the deck!"

"The deck is clear!"

"1\\/2 speed, maintain course, 1\\/3 salvo."

"Parameter revision completed!"

Boom!

As the gunner pressed the button, the left barrels of the four turrets roared at the same time, and the shells flew towards the target ship.

…

"This distance is more than 8,000 meters, right? At this distance, how accurate is the artillery?" The Japanese discussed among themselves and finally came to a conclusion.

"How could Nanhua be as brave as the brave imperial soldiers? They dare not attack at close range, so their warships always exceed the speed limit to facilitate distance fighting." The Japanese military attaché looked like I had seen through it.

The Japanese around him also nodded seriously.

As expected, the closest water column in the first round of shelling was more than 100 meters away from the target ship.

"See! It's true. This kind of artillery is unforgivable in the imperial army!" The Japanese military attaché seemed to have found evidence, and his voice became louder.

"What are those dwarfs talking about?" Cyril frowned. Perhaps the Japanese wanted to show off, and used Japanese English, which made Cyril, who could understand Japanese, unable to understand what he was saying.

"Who knows? But Nanhua's aiming ideas will greatly improve combat effectiveness." Sam didn't understand it either. It really didn't sound like English.

...

"The latest parameters... 1\\/3 salvo, ready~fire!" The gunner pressed the button, and the gun in the middle of the turret roared, and then the gun in the middle of the turret roared!

Boom!

Four more shells flew out, this time closer, at least not as far as three or five hundred meters.

"Parameter correction, third round of test firing~~Ready~Fire!"

This bombardment lasted for five rounds (the target ship was moving, and the sails and steam engines were working.)

...

After the fifth round of bombardment, the sound of the bombardment suddenly subsided.

"Hahaha! How many shells have been wasted? 20? How many shells can a main gun carry at a time? How can we fight like this?" The Japanese began to mock.

Before the South China military representative could respond, a huge sound scared the Japanese.

"Don't be afraid, that's the sound of a warship firing a salvo." At this time, the Immigration was right behind the Chang'an, more than a thousand meters away.

...

After the fifth round of bombardment.

"Cross-fire!" The observation post shouted.

"All guns are ready to fire a salvo!" The gunner gave the order immediately.

"Parameters remain unchanged, ready to fire a salvo!"

"No. 1 turret is ready..."

"Fire!" The gunner shouted to himself and pressed the button.

Boom! The four triple-mounted turrets roared almost simultaneously (the middle barrel of the triple-mounted turret was delayed for 2 seconds).

11 shells were scattered irregularly around the target ship, and 1 shell hit the bow of the target ship, concentrated on the location of the anchor machine, and opened a hole in the deck.

QQ

"The first shot hit!" The observation post shouted excitedly into the phone.

In the command tower, Zhao Jiaxing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Full of fire!"

boom!

Sorry, everyone, something was delayed yesterday.
