The end of the military era

Chapter 237 The Fate

At 1545 o'clock in the morning on October 10, 18, the shipyard of the Flying Leopard Empire's Most Port was still brightly lit.

This shipyard in Most Port is the largest shipyard of the Flying Leopard Empire in the New World. Currently, there are 8 Elegant-class battleships with full main guns and 6 Exalted-class battlecruisers, which are under construction here at the same time.

The Elegant-class battleship with full main guns and the Exalted-class battlecruiser are the latest two capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire. Both are equipped with 45 times the caliber of 380mm main guns.

After these two battleships were first designed, the Flying Leopard Empire considered the financial pressure and only planned to build 10 ships in the first batch. It was decided to build 18 Elegant-class battleships and 18 Exalted-class battlecruisers at the same time.

The first batch of 18 Elegant-class battleships with full main guns and 18 Exalted-class battlecruisers had already entered the ranks of the Royal Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire.

Among the 50 all-main-gun battleships and 30 battlecruisers that the Flying Leopard Navy joined the combined fleet of the six-nation navy this time, there are 10 elegant-class full-main-gun battleships and 10 honor-class battlecruisers.

The 8 Elegant-class battleships and 6 Exalted-class battlecruisers currently being built by the Most Port Shipyard belong to the second batch. The construction of these two battleships has already begun.

Because the financial income of the Flying Leopard Empire in recent years has been relatively good, and the military expenditure allocated to the Royal Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire has also increased, so this time the Royal Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire paid a total of 24 to several large domestic shipyards. Orders for 24 Elegance-class full-battleship and [-] Exalted-class battlecruisers.

When the Port of Most Shipyard built the first batch of these two battleships, it built 8 of them. This time, the Port of Most Shipyard even won an order for 14 of the battleships.

After the Sixth Alliance and the Zhou family officially declared war, in order to speed up the construction of 8 Elegant-class battleships with full main guns and 6 Exalted-class battlecruisers, the Port of Moste Shipyard gathered workers and adopted two shifts. system.

The 14 [-]-ton shipyards used to build the two capital ships are rushing almost around the clock.

Today, the 8 Elegant-class battleships and 6 Exalted-class battlecruisers in the Most Port Shipyard have a completion rate of over 50.00%.

A strong middle-aged Leopard worker was welding the deck armor of an Elegant-class battleship with full main guns. At this time, a young Leopard worker walked over and handed the middle-aged Leopard worker a water tank. "Master, take a break and drink some water."

Hearing this, Suo Qi, a middle-aged Leopard worker, put down the electric welding in his hand, took a sip from the water tank, "Yavi, how is your welding going?"

Can the task assigned by the workshop be completed today?"

"Master, about half of the welding has been finished. There should be no problem in completing the task of today's night shift."

Suoqi nodded slightly, "Yavi, the Elegant-class battleship with full main guns under our feet costs even more than 2700 million silver coins, which can be described as the most important weapon of the country.

Therefore, we must not only complete the tasks of each class, but also ensure the quality and quantity. "

Yawei said with a smile: "Master, don't worry

I weld every seam very seriously.

As for the quality, my craftsmanship is in your hands.

What's more, the quality inspectors in the workshop will conduct inspections. If the quality of the welding is not good enough, it will not pass the acceptance inspection. "

Suoqi took another sip of water and twisted his stiff neck, "It's a pity that the shipyard fired all those human workers, otherwise we should be able to relax a lot, at least three shifts can be arranged, and two shifts are really tiring. "

"Master, humans can no longer be trusted.

Not only the Port of Most Shipyard, but all the factories of our Flying Leopard Empire that are related to military supplies in the five provinces of the New World have fired human workers and human technicians.

Although the security regiments in the five provinces were not disbanded, they heard that they also confiscated the guns of the human soldiers and replaced them with wooden sticks. "

In this world, the Flying Leopard Empire has a land area of ​​about 880 million square kilometers, divided into five provinces, with a total population of about 2 million. Among them, there are about 5000 million orc people who are mainly Leopard people, and the remaining 15 billion are all human beings.

On the other side of the Spirit Race world, the Flying Leopard Empire has a land area of ​​about 700 million square kilometers and a total population of about 9000 million, all of whom are orcs mainly composed of Leopards.

The Royal Army of the Flying Leopard Empire is also mainly composed of group armies. Each group army has a strength of about 7 troops, and the officers and soldiers are all composed of Leopard clansmen.

The second is an independent division with Leopards serving as middle and senior officers and Deer people serving as low-level officers and soldiers, with a strength of about 15.

Finally, the security regiment consists of deer people as officers and humans as soldiers. Its strength is between 1000 and 2000 people, and it is mainly responsible for public security in various places.

The loss of the provinces of Kunclair and New Constance of the Buffalo Empire made all the orc countries very distrustful of the human soldiers in their own army.

The reason why these two provinces of the Manniu Empire were taken over by Zhou's army so quickly is that the more than 300 security brigades mainly composed of human soldiers in these two provinces have turned their backs. It can be said to have a great relationship.

Now the six orc nations have begun to restrict human soldiers, and even disbanded the armed forces dominated by human soldiers. Everyone is afraid of being stabbed in the back by human soldiers.

When Suoqi and Yawei, the master and apprentice, were talking, suddenly in the dark sky, there was the sound of shells tearing the air.

"Master, what's the sound?"

"It's not good to get down quickly, it's a shell"

Just as Sochi and Yavi lay down, a large-caliber shell landed near the two of them, piercing through the deck that was still being welded.

Immediately after the violent explosion, Sochi and Yavi who were lying on the deck were blown away. When the two fell on the deck again, both of them were already in disrepair, and they couldn't die anymore.

此时就在莫斯特港外的海域，西南海防舰队第九编队的两支战队，总计由16艘英国胡德级战列巡洋舰、6艘大型装甲巡洋舰、10艘轻巡洋舰和12艘驱逐舰组成，这是第九编队的第6战队和第7战队。

After the 24 new British Hood-class battlecruisers were incorporated into the Ninth Formation, they were temporarily organized into the 5th, 6th, and 7th Squadrons.

This time, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet adopted the strategy of substituting offense for defense, and dispatched the Ninth Formation and No.12 Formation to the coasts of the six orc countries to carry out raids and harassment operations.

The first task of the 6th and 7th teams of the ninth formation was to sneak attack on the Most Port of the Flying Leopard Empire and try to destroy the shipyard in the Most Port.

Because of the operations of the Ninth Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet and No.12 Formation this time, the secrecy work was done so well that the six orc nations did not know that the two main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet had arrived at their doorstep.

Originally, the Flying Leopard Navy had deployed a large number of anti-submarine nets and mines outside Most Port due to the presence of many submarines of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet along the coasts of the six Orc countries. Ten warships came to attack the port of Most.

Hundreds of warships of the Royal Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire were still stationed in Most Port at this time, including 6 battleships with full main guns, 4 battlecruisers and 8 battleships with all steel, but most of these warships were Parked at the berth in the port, after being bombed for a long time, some warships began to fight back with naval guns.

There are 7 forts in Most Port, equipped with hundreds of large-caliber coastal defense guns.

Although the seven forts built in Most Port launched a counterattack shortly after the attack by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet began, but due to the night, the counterattack effect of the seven forts was not ideal.

When the two teams of the ninth formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Ship shelled for about two hours and began to retreat, the Port of Most was almost shrouded in thick smoke, and 2 14-ton docks for two capital ships were being built. Eight docks were almost completely destroyed, and more than 8 docks were damaged to varying degrees.

Of the hundreds of Flying Leopard naval warships in the Port of Most, 21 were also destroyed, including 2 full-armor battleships, 2 battlecruisers and 4 all-steel battleships. Most of the surviving warships Injuried.

Although none of the 16 British Hood-class battlecruisers of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet were sunk, one British Hood-class battlecruiser was seriously injured, and there were also 1 large armored cruiser, 1 light cruiser and 1 destroyer was sunk.

Most of the achievements of the Flying Leopard Empire relied on the large-caliber coastal defense guns in the 7 forts in Most Port. The results of the hundreds of warships of the Flying Leopard Navy can be said to be minimal.

Following the attack on Most Port of the Flying Leopard Empire, many port cities of the Golden Lion Empire, Scarlet Tiger Empire, and Black Bear Empire were also attacked by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet. The situation became jittery.

After the joint fleet of the six navies learned that the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet had attacked many port cities in the four countries of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, and Flying Leopard, the commanders of the six navies immediately got together.

On the bridge of the Dragon and Lion-class battleship Oath of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, the first deputy minister of the Navy Department of the Golden Lion Empire, Raff, said in a deep voice to the commanders of the navies of the other five countries: "In this Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet attack During the attack, two ports of our Golden Lion Empire have been attacked.

有3艘全主炮战列舰、1艘战列巡洋舰、3艘全钢制战列舰、2艘大型装甲巡洋舰、4艘轻巡洋舰、3艘驱逐舰、11艘鱼雷艇和5艘近海炮艇，在袭击中被击毁，另外建在两座港口的两家造船厂也损失不小。

The joint fleet of the navies of our six countries must not just watch the Zhou family's southwest coastal defense fleet wreak havoc on the coastal areas of several of our Eldar countries.

Therefore, I suggest that the main force of our six-nation naval combined fleet be transferred back to the coasts of the four countries of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, and Flying Leopard, and wipe out all the warships sent by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet."

The Second Deputy Minister of the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire, Pogue, followed up and said: "The warships sent by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet must be wiped out.
