The end of the military era

After Zhou Rui used the four-star lottery card he got, a total of nine rewards were given out, and all of them were warships.

48 Russian Irrational-class destroyers

24 German Wiesbaden-class light cruisers

12 German York-class large armored cruisers

12 German Scharnhorst-class armored cruisers

6 British Lion-class battlecruisers

6 King Kong-class battlecruisers of Dongying Kingdom

6 Fuso-class battleships of Dongying Kingdom

6 US Nevada-class battleships

6 US New Mexico-class battleships

Among the nine warships, two new warships appeared, the British Lion-class battlecruiser and the American New Mexico-class battleship.

According to the introduction of the lottery system, the British Lion-class battlecruiser has a full load displacement of 29680 tons and a maximum speed of 27 knots.

装备了4座双联装45倍口径343毫米主炮，16门102毫米副炮，4具533毫米鱼雷发射管。

The thickest side armor belt is 229 mm, the main deck armor is 63 mm, the main turret armor is 229 mm, and the full crew is 997 people.

The US New Mexico-class battleship has a full load displacement of 33000 tons and a top speed of 22 knots.

装备了4座三联装五十倍口径356毫米主炮，22门127毫米副炮，4具533毫米鱼雷发射管。

The side armor belt is 203 mm to 343 mm, the main deck armor is 89 mm, the main turret armor is 457 mm, and the crew is full of 1084 people.

Obviously, the American New Mexico-class is also a battleship with all main guns, and its overall combat effectiveness should be stronger than that of the American Nevada-class. After all, it has two more 2mm main guns with a caliber of fifty times.

It can be said that the New Mexico class of the United States will be the most powerful all-main gun battleship of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet in the next period of time.

As for the Fuso-class all-main-gun battleship of the Dongying Kingdom, although it also has 12 356mm main guns, the armor of the Fuso-class of the Dongying Kingdom is not thick enough.

In this naval battle on Gaosnail Island, the Fuso-class commercial ship of Dongying Kingdom suffered two large holes in the side armor. In the end, the water in the hull was severely flooded, and it rolled over and sank.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, Zhou Rui also issued three warship rewards after using a Samsung lottery card that the lottery system gave for nothing in March.

12 German Wiesbaden-class light cruisers

4 British Lion-class battlecruisers

4 US New Mexico-class battleships

这样一来，周睿现在就又可以为西南海防舰队增添22艘全主炮战列舰、16艘战列巡洋舰、24艘大型装甲巡洋舰、36艘轻巡洋舰和48艘驱逐舰。

It is enough to make up for the loss of the sea battle on Gaosnail Island several times.

In addition, Zhou Rui discovered the hidden task of "winning the largest naval battle", which may allow him to do it one or two more times.

If the scale of the naval battle that the Southwest Navy Fleet participates in in the future is larger than the naval battle of Gaosnail Island, and it wins the final victory, will it mean that this hidden mission has been completed again?

Regarding Zhou Rui's question, the lottery system did not give an explanation, but Zhou Rui was even more convinced that this is definitely a task that can be done multiple times.

It's just that the scale of the sea battle on Gaosnail Island is already quite large, and it is not so easy to complete this hidden mission.

When Song Limin told Zhou Rui that the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet would add 38 new warships, including 146 capital ships, he froze for a moment, then immediately patted his chest and assured Zhou Rui: "Commander, Half a month!

In just half a month, our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet can fully staff these new warships! "

Zhou Rui continued to instruct: "We need to transfer a group of officers and soldiers who have experienced actual combat and assign them to these new warships.

The Golden Lion Empire had suffered such a big loss in the naval battle of Gaosnail Island, and it would never let it go. What's more, the Golden Lion Empire is now colluding with the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire.

Next, the pressure facing your Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet may be even greater. "

At this time, Zhou Xiaorong who was in the office suddenly said to Song Limin: "Old Song, the Fifth Fleet of the Chihu Empire Navy has already withdrawn from Fengsha Island.

Do you think we should take this opportunity to seize the Red Tiger Empire's Phonsa Island naval base? "

The Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy, after learning of the results of the sea battle on Gosnail Island, withdrew from Fengsha Island and went directly to Yumen Island. The fleet converged.

If the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy continues to stay on Fengsha Island, it is worried that it will be eaten up by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

After all, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet did not lose much strength in the naval battle of Gaosnail Island. With the current strength of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, it should not be impossible for the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet to eat the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy.

Now the three fleets of the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire can only feel safe if they hold together for warmth.

Song Limin hesitated and said, "Compared to Pusha Island, Fengsha Island may be more difficult to attack.

According to the reconnaissance of our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, Fengsha Island has at least 4 or more forts, and even after the Red Tiger Imperial Navy Fifth Fleet withdraws, there are still more than [-] island guards on Fengsha Island.

If you want to fight hard, I think it is a bit difficult. After all, there are a large number of coastal defense artillery on Fengsha Island, and our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet may not be able to provide enough firepower support for the army. "

Zhou Xiaorong sighed and said: "Fengsha Island can be said to be a nail placed along the coast of Fengwu Town. It would be great if it could be pulled out."

Zhou Rui said at this time: "Don't worry about Fengsha Island, as long as the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet can carry the navies of the three orc nations.

Even if it is sleepy, it can trap the Red Tiger Empire army on Fengsha Island to death. "

Then Zhou Rui asked Zhou Xiaorong: "Second Uncle, how is the situation on Pusha Island?"

"Marshal, now the No.11 and No.12 divisions of the Zhenwei Army have entered Pusha Island, and the previously damaged fortifications have been basically repaired. At present, the two infantry divisions are building a batch of new forts to strengthen Pusha Island. Shore fire protection on Sand Island."

Now the heavy artillery branch of Ganyang Armory can already produce a variety of large-caliber artillery.

This time, in order to strengthen the defense force of Pusa Island, the Heavy Artillery Branch Factory specially produced a batch of 45mm coastal defense guns with 280 times the caliber and a batch of 45mm coastal defense guns with 220 times the caliber for the defenders of Pusa Island.

Moreover, the main gun barrels of many capital ships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet have been replaced by large-caliber barrels produced by the Heavy Artillery Branch Factory because they have reached the end of their service life.

"Second Uncle, can Gaosnail Island be guarded?"

"In fact, most of the fortifications of the Golden Lion Empire on Gaosnail Island have been built. If we can get the cooperation of the navy, we can still try to defend it."

"Old Song, what's your opinion?"

"Our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet will resolutely cooperate with the army to guard Gaosnail Island. After controlling Gaosnail Island, our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet can extend the island chain defense line to the coast of Boting Town."

"Then leave the two divisions of the Jinnan Army on Gaosnail Island, and then send more large-caliber coastal defense artillery to Gaosnail Island."

Chapter 165

Not long after the naval battle at Gaosnail Island ended, the Golden Lion Empire Governor's Office announced that it would send the Second Fleet, Third Fleet, and Seventh Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire to the coast of the Han and Tang Empire to protect the coast of the Han and Tang Empire. peace in the region.
