1890 King of Southeast Asia

On April 16, thirty nautical miles east of Hawaii, an old American warship was sailing at a low speed, not avoiding the passing merchant ships.

This place is very close to Hawaii, and only one step away from the 12-kilometer territorial waters designated by Nanhua.

"Sir, are we too close? According to the intelligence released in advance, Nanhua has a new battleship in the Hawaiian Islands." William, the first mate of the Nebraska, looked at the empty sea nervously.

"They are too busy dealing with the Japanese. As long as we don't give them an excuse, they won't do anything." Captain Doug sat aside, confident.

His ship, the Nebraska, is one of the most powerful warships besides the new battleships... in a head-on bombardment.

The Nebraska belongs to the American Virginia-class pre-dreadnought battleship. At this time, it is also the last old-style warship of the United States.

It is 132 meters long and 9 meters wide, with a full load displacement of 14,946 tons and a cruising range of 3,800 nautical miles at a speed of 10 knots.

The main guns consist of two twin 305mm guns forming the first-level main guns, and eight single 203mm 45-caliber guns forming the second-level main guns.

Overall, it was a powerful warship in the old navy era... If you ignore the speed of only 18 knots...

However, Nanhua opened the prelude to the new navy era. In 1902, the keel of the second Virginia-class ship Nebraska was laid in Seattle. Before the keel was laid, the Chang'an had been successfully launched and outfitted.

The Americans reacted too slowly and did not make a decision to stop the project until two years later when they stopped the development of the old battleship. At this time, Virginia had completed 60% of the project progress and only needed to be outfitted. If it was dismantled, it would be a huge loss.

If we don't dismantle it... it will be even worse. The battleship's operating fee is the biggest part. But the American navy is still weak. At least it can last for a few years. Can't we bully weaker countries?

The Nebraska was commissioned in 1907. In the same year, two new battleships of the Brazilian Navy had already formed combat effectiveness. In 1908, there were eight new battleships in service and scheduled in four South American countries, of which two were in service in Brazil and two were under construction in Nanhua.

Therefore, this class of warships is in an awkward position in the United States. The speed is too slow, so it is useless in the main battle. The escort is also a bit reluctant. It can only bully small countries-such as Mexico.

The Nebraska has a little story with Mexico, the story of invasion.

"Unidentified ships were found in the northwest." The voice of the lookout came from the megaphone.

Captain Doug stood up, took out his telescope, looked northwest, but saw nothing.

"Report the specific location and confirm whether it is a warship." Doug scanned back and forth twice, and then shouted into the megaphone.

"Nanhua likes to use fuel oil as ship power. Compared with coal, fuel oil produces less smoke and starts faster. However, without the coal bunker as a protective layer, most people are not optimistic about their defense capabilities." William did not find the warship, but confirmed that it was a Nanhua warship.

In the current naval reconnaissance, if the enemy warship cannot be seen, the enemy's smoke is used as a sign. After all, gray warships are difficult to be found in the vast ocean, but black smoke is more conspicuous.

At this time, warships are all powered by coal. In addition to Nanhua, only Britain saw Nanhua striding towards fuel oil and conducted experiments on small and medium-sized cruisers.

Large warships only use oil-coal mixed boilers. Germany is even more stubborn and only adds a spray system to the boiler, but it is also because Germany has no oil resources and cannot rely too much on fuel oil power.

Coal combustion produces thick smoke, even high-quality anthracite will have smoke traces.

…

"Report to the fleet, our ship has taken over the position of ship 422, and found an enemy ship 17 nautical miles east of the fleet." Captain Yang Zejun of ship 423 didn't know he was exposed, but exposure was not a big deal.

Originally, ship 422 had been following the Nebraska, and had been tracking it out of sight. It stands to reason that the mast of the Nebraska is higher and can see farther.

However, after confirming its identity, ship 422 kept following the smoke trail, and the heavy oil boiler used by 422 had a much lighter smoke trail than burning pure Welsh anthracite, so it was normal that the Nebraska didn't find 422.

Unfortunately, ship 422 had a sudden malfunction half an hour ago and could not continue to perform. Ship 423, which took over her mission, needed to get closer to confirm whether it was the Nebraska, and then it was discovered.

"Maintain a speed of 10 knots. The cruising speed of the Nebraska is just that high. Go out for reconnaissance every half an hour." Yang Zejun handed the command to the first mate and went to inspect various departments.

This is Yang Zejun's habit. Even if the first mate and the second mate have inspected and found no problems, he will go there in person to feel at ease.

"This American, he doesn't fight and doesn't roll away. It's really disgusting." The first mate muttered.

"This damn American, he kept us here. I heard that the Japanese in Ryukyu are very arrogant. The Americans did it on purpose."

Yesterday, the South China Navy in Hawaii was dispatched, headed by Luoyang, supplemented by more than a dozen destroyers, and two unspoken patrol patrol cruisers were seized as a training ship. Come on.

Americans's warships rushed forward along the way, and the South China Navy was put on the pocket array in the direction of Americans.

Just wait for the Americans to enter the edge of the collar of South China, and they go around to force the Blaska. If it keeps, South China will "do their best" to maintain the safety of the territorial sea, and the training ship will also join the forced stop team.

Who knows that the Americans have a big turn when they are only a dozen nautical miles away from the territorial sea. The speed of Nebraska is slow, and the speed of the training ship in South China cannot be faster.

Nympho

After half an hour, I found out before the plan, but found that the location of the Nebraska was not right.

"The enemy ship began to accelerate, and it may be that we have discovered us." The vice deputy slightly calculated the distance, and the Nebraska may have a light acceleration.

Daoge held his attitude towards him, ordered to speed up to 14th section, and turned away the followers.

The disadvantage of coal -fired boilers is reflected, because the economic speed is always used. If you want to speed up, you must increase the steam air pressure. You must slowly burn coal and burn the fire.

The speed has just increased, it has been ten minutes, and the remaining ten minutes are obviously not enough to disappear in the field of vision, and 423 will catch up.

"There is no hidden need to be found. The speed is increased to 27 knots, and the distance is 5 kilometers away." Yang Xuanjun just returned to the command room and heard the conversation.

"Yes! The boiler warehouse is pressured, and the speed is increased to 27th."

More fuel flows into the pipeline and sprayed in the burning room by the mixed air atomization. The flames of the burning flames quickly increased the temperature of the boiler, and the air pressure rose violently.

The steam flow into the steam turbine drives the rapid operation of the steam turbine. No. 423 is like the arrow of the strings, which quickly moves forward.

However, for twenty minutes, the distance between the two sides is close to 5 kilometers. If it is a war period, this is an extremely unwise choice for destroyers.

At a distance of five kilometers, the main gun of the destroyer cannot bring actual damage to large warships, and the large -scale medium -large -caliber artillery of large warships can give the destroyer a fatal threat.

But now it is not a war period, and Americans dare not fire. That is who is fast and flexible who has the advantage.

"Sir, a destroyer is approaching quickly, and the speed speed is above 25."

"5 kilometers away, they stopped."

"The courage to come there is just a hundred -ton boat."

"But they are so fast, it's too fast. I heard that there are a hundred warships in Nanhua. In the sea of ​​the islands, this is the nightmare of large warships."

The sound of the command room became noisy, and a group of officers raised the telescope and wanted to seize a good position for watching.

"Lean up and force them back." Doug looked at these officers, most of them were young people. Anyway, there was only one destroyer on the other party, adding some confidence to young people.

Nympho

"Report, the enemy turns left ... It seems to be closer to us."

Yang Xunjun's eyes brightened: "Turn left, pay attention to maintaining the position of enemy ships."

After half an hour.

"The enemy ship turns right, and is accelerating."

"Lean up! Distance ... a kilometer." Yang Xunjun scratched his head.

One kilometer, the machine guns of both sides can reach each other.

Half an hour later, the distance between the two sides was only 1,000 meters. The 423 ship rushed to the Americans in front of the Americans under the command of Yang Zhejun.

Nympho

This provocation passed at noon, two o'clock in the afternoon.

This feeling of being provoked face -to -face is not good, especially when you can only be angry.

"Can't bear it! Speed ​​up, I don't believe it dares to hit me!" Doug looked at the taller officers in the command room and had to get back the field.

Otherwise, these officers do n’t know how long to sink when they go back, maybe they will be abolished, and he will be abolished.

Nympho

"Enemies accelerate."

"Dangerous, left full rudder, urged!"

The Nebraska suddenly turned after the acceleration, and No. 423 almost did not respond. Even so, the emergency left full rudder also caused many sailors to hit a full bag.

"Run to the head of the enemy, keep the speed of 18 knots, from the three chains."

Yang Xunjun ran to the navigation map, looking at the crooked tricks recently, grinning.

"How far is the main fleet."

"Six sea miles."

"Are they out of the sea?"

"At the edge, we are on the left side of the enemy ship. Many games turn left to the left.

"Report our movements at all times." Yang Zhejun nodded after hearing, turning out of the command room.

Along the way, finally standing at the main gun.

"Is this pigeon cage? It's ugly." The distance between the two sides is only 555 meters in three chains. Take a telescope and even see what the enemy is doing.

Then Yang Zejun saw Daoge in the telescope, and Daoge was staring at him with a telescope.

"The notification of the deputy, the sound of the ritual, the left full rudder." Yang Zhejun raised his telescope twice, showing a sneer.

"Gun officer."

"have!"

"The cannon mouth turns to the side side, prepares a ritual cannon, three noises."

"yes!"

A few minutes later, the ceremony was sent.

Yang Zhejun saw Daoge and looked at himself, and compared Doug to an international friendly gesture.

"put!"

Bang!

The first sound.

"Zuo Man Rud!"

Along with the left of the 423rd, the rear artillery that originally pointed to the empty waters gradually pointed to another goal.

Bang!

The second sound, the US military officials all looked around. After all, the ritual artillery showed respect, and the convention was that those who were low in the rank were first.

"hateful!"

"What does this mean?"

Because of the turning, the speed of the ritual shining was slow. In the third noise, South China had hit the boat horizontally.

At this moment, the main artillery of South China is facing the American ship, which is pointing to them in the eyes of the officers.

Bang!

"Damn!"

"Are they running away?"

"Let's take a look at them. Do not humiliate the beauty!"

"Catch up!"

"Zuo Ruku five, catch up!" Doug was trembling by this insulting behavior. If he couldn't respond, his future was gone, and he would become a shame when he returned.

Moreover, they have been running irregularly for so long, and the main force of the South China Navy should not find them?

After all, they were discovered in the morning. After the Nanhua summoned the investigation fleet, they had to provide necessary supplies. It should not be so fast ... right?

Nympho

Thirty -five minutes later, on the sea map of Nebraska, they were still eight sea from the South China Sea, but on the Haitu on the 423rd, the Nebraska had penetrated the sea one kilometer.

"Haven't the main force yet?" Yang Xuanjun's eyes did not leave the Nebraska, for fear that it would go back to God.

This kind of insulting behavior will definitely be reprimanded afterwards. If the Nebraska ran away, it would be uncomfortable.

"Come!" The deputy pointed at the side of the side of the side and shouted.

"There is also the right side."

Nympho

At this time, the Nebraska has been surrounded, and the inside is eleven destroyers, near the four directions of the southeast and northwest, near Nebraska.

On the periphery, the five destroyers and the Luoyang battleship also exposed from the sea level. The 356 mm main guns that have risen have proved that she has been preparing for the battle.

"Sir, we are surrounded!"

"It is a battleship! South China's main battleship! According to the information, it is Changluo class! Equipped with 356 mm large -caliber artillery."

"South China has made flag -in -law, you have illegally invaded the South China territorial sea. In order to avoid conflicts, you are required to follow us to return to the port, cancel the armed, and wait for the two sides to communicate ..."

"What to do, sir?"

Daoge also had a headache and fell into the circle.

"Have we entered the South China territorial sea? We didn't see the land, we only admitted to the three nautical miles of the sea." Doug thought, "Right full rudder, leave here."

Daoge knew that it was difficult to achieve when the speed was backward. As soon as he wanted to say maliciously, he saw a few merchant ships not far away. The national flag was colorful and made him back.

Nympho

"The warning is invalid. In order to defend my territorial sea and defend my sovereignty, we will try to force the invaders out." On the Luoyang, Li Jinda said to the officers and soldiers of the ship and more than twenty reporters.

"Report! Zheng He's training ship issued a fault alert, the ship was out of control, and the US warship was driving towards the illegal invasion!"

"Quickly convey this news to Americans, don't cause unnecessary losses!" Li Jin said sadly.

Click. Li Jin nodded slightly, and it was almost here.

As for the notice? It is normal to convey slowly.

"Huh ~ thank you, the Americans turned." A sad French female reporter pointed at the Nebraska.

Yes, the Americans discovered the fierce black smoke, and the Zhenghe training ship, which is obviously full of horsepower, made a timely avoidance.

"Huh ~ so dangerous!" Doug vomited.

"Yeah, I was almost hit by it. Nanhua was still good. The boat was at least twenty years and I could run 15 knots." The big auxiliary nodded, sweating with his face.

boom!

A fierce sound, accompanied by a huge shock, and then the ship heard it.

"Oh my god! Is the American crazy?" Is it that French reporter.

She saw that a South China warship's evasion of the American warship opened the road, but Americans walked straight to the route of the family. Finally, the South China warship hit the back of the American warship.

Then the American warship stopped.

"Oh! Hurry up to save people, but that is the hero of South China, the Java Island training ship!" Li Jin looked at the patrol ship in a sorrowful twenty -year -old ship and just turned out.
