Super Chief

The Carlos-class battleship was built based on the later Caldwell-class destroyers. Behind the bridge of the Caldwell-class destroyer is an iron mast about 30 meters high. Above this mast is a radio antenna. At a distance of about 20 meters from the deck, there is an observation post, where the observer will observe the surrounding sea.

　　In the era without radar, this kind of observation post set up at a high place is indispensable. The observation hand can see a distance of about sixteen kilometers in height.

　　The Yanhuang tribe naturally does not have a radar now, so this kind of observation post is also indispensable. This is the "eye" of the entire warship.

　　 Don’t look at the naval officers of the Yanhuang tribe who have hardly conducted actual naval combat, but their training is not bad at all. Moreover, Shixiong clearly stipulated the service time of naval soldiers when he established the navy.

　　 The service time of a navy soldier is twice as long as that of an army! The service time of the Grim Bear Army soldiers is three years, but the service time of the Navy is up to six years.

　　 After all, the professionalism of the Navy is much higher than that of the Army. Such a long service time is to ensure that naval soldiers can receive long-term training, thereby ensuring the quality of naval officers.

　　 is like this observer, but it has been specially trained.

　　In this era without rangefinders, it takes a lot of training to see the distance of the enemy ship at a glance on the sea without any reference objects.

　　 When these observers were training, they were all trained in the vicinity of the bay mouth after going out to sea on an inland river armed transport ship. The modified inland water transport ship will also be equipped with an observation post of the same height, and then the observer will be trained on the observation distance on it.

　　 This kind of training will continue for a long time, until these observers can accurately determine the distance between the target and the ship, it is considered qualified. Well, it is worth mentioning that the so-called "accurate" means that the error of observing a target 15 kilometers away must be controlled within 100 meters!

　　 It is no exaggeration to say that the training of the observer is even more difficult than the training of the gunner!

　　 Today the leader of the tribe personally went to sea by boat, and the observer on the Carlos was naturally the best in the entire navy.

　　 Shixiong frowned when he heard the news, but he just hesitated and said, "Karu, ask the observer, how many ships are there?"

　　 Karoo is a Shawnee. Since Norfolk began construction, he has joined the Fourth Division, and later formed the navy, he signed up to become a member of the navy. After more than ten years of hard work, he has now become the captain of the Carlos gloriously.

Soon the news passed, and Karoo put down the phone and said: "The great chieftain of the son of God, the observer said that there are five ships over there, because the distance is too far, it is temporarily impossible to determine which country’s ships are, nor can it be determined. Merchant ships are still sailing warships."

Shixiong’s finger clicked on the steel console, and then he said decisively: “Send a signal to other warships, let’s move over, no matter which country’s ship, whether it’s a merchant ship or a warship, give me Destroy that small fleet. As for the personnel, leave no one!"

　　 Ishikuma did not expect that he would encounter ships from other countries this time, but as long as it is a sailing ship, it must be a ship from Europe.

　　 Now these nine steel battleships have not appeared in front of the Europeans. Since they have encountered them, they should blame them for their bad luck. For the sake of confidentiality, these five ships must not be kept!

　　 And I can find those five ships, and those five ships must have found their own fleet. After all, this steam-powered battleship has four smokestacks. Once this thing is activated, even if you can’t see the battleship itself, you can see the black smoke from a long distance. .

　　Since you can't hide, kill them!

　　 Hearing the boss's order, all the soldiers in Cambridge became excited.

　　 Obviously, the boss is going to kill the five ships. This is an actual naval battle! How long did the officers of the Navy expect to encounter such a good thing?

　　 The harsh sirens sounded all over the battleship, and the soldiers on the Carlos suddenly became nervous and busy.

After transmitting the command of the boss to kill the five ships via radio to the other eight warships, even if they are separated by 300 meters, Shi Xiong seems to be able to feel the soldiers on the other eight warships. Excitement.

　　 In fact, Shi Xiong himself is a little excited, this is a naval battle!

　　 Although it was not the type of battleships fired between battleships in later generations, and there were no precision-guided missiles, Shi Xiong still felt a little enthusiastic.

　　 What happened to the nine warships that I had worked so hard to lead the tribesmen, it was time to thoroughly examine them in a while.

Observers kept reporting the news. The five ships on the opposite side apparently found this "strange" fleet that was still smoky, and the five ships estimated that they could run at sea without sails. 'S boat was very curious, so the five boats actually approached on their own initiative.

　　 Shi Xiong was also speechless for this kind of self-finding.

　　Since you are here, don’t leave...

　　 When the fleets of both sides drew closer to about twelve kilometers, the news of the observer passed down again.

"It's a fleet of French and Spaniards. It should be two sailing battleships escorting three armed merchant ships..." Karoo reported the news to Shixiong~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Shixiong looked at Adrian next to him. Carlos, Carlos shrugged and said, "Boss, you don't have to worry about my thoughts. Since those **** guys wanted to send me to the gallows, I'm no longer a member of the Kingdom of Spain. Now I have a very happy life in the tribe. The New World is my home, and the tribe is my country."

　　 Shixiong smiled and gestured a thumb at Carlos, and then ordered: "Kalu, inform the other ships, and deal with the five ships in the way you usually train! Remember, don't keep one!"

　　 Karu excitedly grabbed the phone and began to give orders, and then it was useless for a minute. Through the bridge glass windows, Shi Xiong clearly saw the twin 105mm main guns of all his warships began to rotate.

　　 And as the captain of the Carlos, Karoo's face also became serious, and a series of orders were conveyed from the phone in his hand.

　　 This navy type double 105mm cannon has a longer range due to the lengthened barrel. According to tests, the effective range of this dual 105mm cannon can reach up to 12 kilometers. Although if the pitch angle of the barrel is adjusted to the maximum, the shell can hit farther, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

　　 And now, the distance of the five sailing ships from the fleet has entered within twelve kilometers, which is already within the precise strike distance of the battleship's main guns.

　　 As for the 76mm secondary gun, the effective range cannot reach this far, so the 76mm secondary gun has not moved for the time being.
