Men's Kapishi

"All crew members prepare for impact!"

"Hit countdown! 10! 9! 8!"

Commodore Perry on the bridge, like everyone else on the bridge, grasped the handrail beside him, bowed slightly, and prepared to receive the enemy's fatal blow.The situation of the Berwick is not optimistic. The origin stone shield has been weakened by the enemy's main gun, so it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be pierced by a single blow.

Not much time was left for him, while staring at the magic core rising from the center of the Land Sovereign Class, he silently estimated the damage caused by this anti-ship warlock after it penetrated the shield.

"Oh, it looks like it's our turn to play." Through the image projected on the screen next to him through the optical sensor, Ice turned sideways and said to Fiona who was standing beside him, "Now the fleet will be under your command, Fei Lieutenant Colonel Ona."

"Yes!" Ms. Ferrin, who was serving as Ice Cube's adjutant, quickly entered her role, tucked her short, disheveled hair behind her ears, and stepped forward skillfully to her battle station on the Mongoose.There is not much time left for her, the dome armor in the middle of the Land Sovereign Class has begun to unfold, and the only forces she can use are the Mongoose and two support sand cruisers AOE-013 and AOE-019.

It is obviously impossible to confront the enemy's battleship head-on, but the role of the support sand cruiser has never been to confront the enemy's main battleship head-on.Although the armament is weak, the anti-aircraft missiles and near-fire artillery equipped are trustworthy and strong shields for the own fleet.

"All ships pay attention and start approaching the Victoria escort fleet."

"Pay attention to the spacing! Cross the battle line from the tail! 013 speed control, you are only 1.5 cables away from the Luna!"

On the battlefield where shells were flying, neither side had the energy to pay attention to the Karak fleet separated from the merchant fleet and following behind the Victorian escort fleet.

Small in size, no obvious superstructure and low profile, and most importantly, no conspicuous turrets and armaments, no one would waste firepower at this critical moment to intercept this fleet that seemed to be trying to turn away from the fleet to escape.

It is this seemingly harmless fleet that has arrived at its battle position, ready to show its small but sharp fangs.

"Prepare for an air strike!"

"Target, anti-ship tactical core, AOE-013, interception preparation."

"Target intercepted, quantity 1, identification number 2011."

"Interceptor launch!"

Four anti-air missiles were ignited from the launcher of AOE-013 at an interval of 0.5 seconds, and went straight to the anti-ship magic formula in mid-air. After a few seconds, they accurately hit the optical radar field of view, conspicuous like the sun. The core of the technique.

Just the first missile hit made this anti-ship technique go out of control and began to roll, and the subsequent hits of several missiles made the violent energy in it completely out of control. It was detonated in the middle of the battlefield, and a land-based sovereignty appeared in an instant. photospheres of the same size.

The shock wave carried the dust on the surface and rushed towards it like a wall, hitting the Mongoose sideways, and the tonnage of the base walker still seemed a little weak under an explosion of this scale.

After the flash, the smoke and dust on the surface was attracted upward by the negative pressure in the center, and then spread out after cooling at high altitude, forming a huge mushroom cloud, which was slowly thrown behind by both sides.

No one on the battlefield knew what was going on except Karak Heavy Industries' fleet, and the sure-fire anti-ship explosion in mid-air was beyond everyone's expectations.

Commodore Perry looked at the rising mushroom cloud in astonishment and couldn't figure out the situation, and the Sovereign on Land obviously didn't understand why the anti-ship magic formula he launched suddenly exploded out of control, causing the battlefield to suddenly fall into a strange calm. Pao went silent at the same time.

More than ten seconds later, the Berwick, which narrowly avoided being severely damaged, was the first to recover. The gun crew, consciously saving their lives, woke up like a dream, bursting out with amazing physical strength and coordination, reaching the goal of launching the battleship. The highest loading efficiency since then, increasing the rate of fire of his semi-automatic main gun by a full 20.00%.

The land sovereign-level artillery that was attacked immediately began to fight back with its main guns, but an astonishing situation happened again. Flames erupted in mid-air, and none of the shells fired by the land sovereign-level main guns could cross the center line of the battlefield. Landed near the Berwick.

"The enemy's main artillery fires, the number of targets is 8, and the identification number is 2027-2035."

"Interceptor launch!"

"2034 interception failed! Near fire artillery started firing!"

Intercepting shells is much more difficult than intercepting spell cores. Although the shells fired by the old-style main guns equipped with land sovereign grades have an initial velocity of only 4 or 5 hundred meters per second and a fixed trajectory, they are not considered difficult targets to intercept, but hard shells and gunpowder barrels Normal spell cores are harder to destroy than normal spell cores.

This kind of armor-piercing projectile with a low charge ratio gave Fiona a headache. Except for a dozen kilograms of origin stone explosives, the [-]-kilogram shells were all armor-piercing and armor-piercing. A lot of hard work depends on luck.

The near-anti-aircraft guns on the front of the AOE-013 "Equanimity" support sand patrol ship immediately aimed at the fish that slipped through the net, and the shells numbered 2034 began to intercept and shoot, spraying out a tongue of flame nearly ten meters long, and the dense barrage instantly filled up The flight trajectory of the shell was broken, crackling bursts of flashes, hitting the shells continuously, and finally destroying it at a distance of less than 200 meters from the Berwick.

Only then did the warring parties figure out what had happened.

Missiles using smokeless fuel are almost impossible to be seen on the battlefield where gunfire is flying at high speed during high-speed flight, but the rain of bullets splashed by near-anti-aircraft guns that can cover the sky is more conspicuous.

"Monkey Ridge..." Brigadier General Perry risked being hit by shrapnel and stray bullets, pushed the guards away and rushed out of the bridge. Looking in the direction of the curtain shot.

The sand cruiser supported by Karak Heavy Industries did not disappoint him. Half a minute later, Brigadier General Perry witnessed the whole process of intercepting the shells of AOE-013, and was dumbfounded in the face of nine shells that were exploded one after another in mid-air.

This kind of technology beyond his cognition is obviously more difficult for him to accept than the powerful origin stone spells-there are spells that can intercept shells, but neither the requirements for the caster nor the preparation time are far from what they are now. The degree to which actual combat capabilities can be displayed on the battlefield.

Accurately calculating the flight trajectory of a shell is not something ordinary warlocks can accomplish, let alone locking a high-speed flying shell and guiding it to intercept it in a battlefield environment. Unacceptably low.

With the development of technology in recent years, the fleet has been equipped with acceptable technical equipment to calibrate the ballistic trajectory and track the incoming position of the artillery shells. However, it is impossible for Commodore Perry to command artillery to intercept enemy shells.

The firing of the close-in defense guns was apparently also discovered by the gradually lagging land sovereigns. After a period of silence, the main guns fired a tentative salvo, and were intercepted again without accident.

After a few minutes of confusion, the Land Sovereign-class battleship and the Formidable-class heavy cruiser simultaneously began to turn their guns and began firing at the AOE-013 "Tranquility".

The opponent's commander was obviously not an idiot, and soon realized that if the support sand cruiser that got in the way was not resolved, all combat plans would be empty talk, and any tactical goal would be impossible to achieve.

The projection of the eight 305mm main guns and the eight 203mm main guns obviously cannot achieve saturated strikes, and the accuracy of hasty firing needs to be improved urgently. Facing shells that deviate from the target, Equanimity is not even interested in intercepting them.

After several rounds of calibration, the shelling finally began to pose a threat to this small fleet belonging to Karak Heavy Industries, and the AOE-019 "Dawn" also joined the ranks of interception, firing alternately with the "Equanimity", and the artillery bombardment lasted for more than 20 minutes. During the battle, none of the nearly a hundred artillery shells fired by the enemy's Sovereign-class and Terrible-class on land could penetrate the interception of the two supporting sand cruisers.

By the end of the battle, the sufficient number of samples has allowed the shipboard central computer to establish a bombardment model by itself, and it can even launch missiles in advance to intercept the enemy ship before it fires. , leaving everyone on the battlefield stunned.

Chapter 356 Chapter 22 How about your land cruiser?

"Walk around, what are you all doing here!" Commodore Perry, who had watched the fireworks show with relish for a long time, rubbed his hands, only to find that the small observation deck outside the bridge was bustling with people, "I forgot the ship regulations." is it?"

I took a look at the crowd that I had driven back to squeeze into the cabin door. Apart from a group of adjutants and staff officers, the captain of the Berwick was also on the list, and was immediately picked out by Commodore Perry and scolded: "You run away!" Come here to see what’s going on! Where’s the main gun! Why is it dumb?! Why don’t you go back and let the gun crew beat me hard!”

The captain of the Berwick, how can you let the main gun fire when you come to the watchtower? If the muzzle wind hurts you, you still have to bear the responsibility.

Compared with the suddenly revived morale of the Victorian escort fleet, the atmosphere on Karak Heavy Industries' side was rather dignified.

Although the traversing people are willing to invest in the training of their own fleet, and the simulation and live ammunition training of various subjects are not missed, but the actual combat experience is somewhat lacking. Many of them are participating in the battle for the first time, so it is inevitable that they will be a little nervous.

In order to seize the opportunity of actual combat to train the team, after the manual command control was enabled, there was even a low-level error that the order to launch four sets of missiles actually fired five sets, which made Fiona look very bad.

As the military adjutant of the delegation selected with excellent results from among many competitors, Fiona was also under a lot of pressure. She never expected to make such a mistake when it was her turn to go into battle the first time.

But fortunately, Ice Cube didn't point out the mistake, which made Fiona feel a little grateful in her heart, and felt that her immediate boss was not bad.

But in fact, this is not the case at all. Ice Cube is not the person who is in charge of the military entrance through the crowd. Sitting in his position and watching the two support ships show their strength as a support ship and a shield ship, it is also a big for shock.

I saw the missile whizzing up to the sky and then hitting the target with a bright tail flame in the infrared image. I just went to watch the fun there, and the ice cube could not see the mistake.

"CIC reports bridge, enemy ships begin to turn away."

"Continue to keep track, the whole system is on alert."

The continuous bombardment of the Victoria escort fleet made it difficult for the two unknown enemy ships. Although limited by the caliber of the artillery, they could not cause fatal damage, but the superstructure and deck facilities were still severely damaged, and the continuous bombardment caused several fires.

After Karak Heavy Industries began to intervene in the battle, neither the main gun nor the operation platform could play a role, and they had no choice but to retreat when they were passively beaten.Although the military origin stones in the fleet are very important military resources, these two main battleships are also precious strategic forces.

After the enemy retreated, Victoria responded very quickly. On the one hand, it expressed its gratitude and affirmation to Karak Heavy Industries for its important role in the battle from an official position. On the other hand, Brigadier General Perry also invited Ice Cube to his ship shell Rick's at the dinner party.

Naturally, Ice Cube accepted the invitation gladly. Of course, such a good opportunity must be seized, and he took Fiona to the front deck of the Berwick on time that night.

The battle in the afternoon was not easy for the Berwick. Even though the shield system was enabled, many shrapnel and stray bullets still penetrated the Originium shield and hit the hull of the Berwick.There are many pits on the deck and black explosion traces. Victoria has covered some rainproof cloths on the parts that have not been cleaned and repaired, but they are not very useful and will show some flaws to some extent.

The Victorians also knew that the tarpaulin could not cover the wounds of this giant beast. Accompanied by Brigadier General Perry, Ice Cube briefly inspected the guard of honor on board and was invited to enter the land ship.

In the eyes of discerning people, Victoria has many internal problems, but after all, it has a big family and a big business, and there is no doubt that it is a great power in Terra.Compared with the Carrack-style interior with a strong sense of technology but actually with simple materials, the decoration of the Berwick's officer's dining room is resplendent.

The fleet is still in a state of combat readiness. Naturally, everything is kept simple. After a simple exchange of greetings, the two sides prepared for it. The savior of everyone on this ship is not too much. Commodore Perry did not put on the arrogant airs that Victorians often have.

"Haha, the conditions on the ship are poor, I hope Mr. Ice Cube doesn't mind." Brigadier General Perry first extended his hand and stayed with Ice Cube, "Please."

"Where, Your Excellency, Brigadier General, is serious. I was a little flattered when I received the formal invitation this afternoon." Ice Cube smiled and nodded, but did not sit down at the table.

Just glanced to the side, Brigadier General Perry immediately understood, and called the orderly to add another chair beside him: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't think carefully, Ms. Fiona please first."

Now that the host and guest are seated, it is natural that some pleasantries are indispensable, and Ice Cube also tried his best to talk nicely, never mentioning the battle in the afternoon, nor asking why two Victorian battleships appeared on the main road leading to the capital in Victoria The embarrassing problem of robbing a fleet escorted by a Victorian warship.

"This is?"

"Ah, this pistol is a gift I picked for the general." Ice Cube took the gun case from Fiona and showed Brigadier General Perry a gold-plated M1911 pistol, and the latter naturally greatly appreciated and expressed his gratitude. A Victorian rapier was then presented to Ice in return.

This is a well-designed process, and both parties have made preparations. Even the pistol presented by Ice Cube was sent to the Berwick in advance, and the staff will hand it to Fiona when boarding the ship at dinner time. What a surprise! , Thank you, it's nothing more than a competition of acting skills, the purpose of both parties is not here.

Even after Ice Cube asked Fiona about the delicious food in Victoria, he went to the ship's cafeteria to open a small stove in advance and ordered noodles with fried sauce to fill his stomach.

"As far as I know, Mr. Ice Cube is representing your company at the upcoming Londinium Defense Exhibition, right?"

"Yes, we were a bit late when we received the invitation, but we were well prepared."

"Haha, it's really well prepared, and I saw it with my own eyes." Brigadier General Perry leaned forward, watched the ice cube pour the red wine for himself, then raised his glass and toasted the ice cube, "I wish you a successful exhibition."

"I wish the general every step of the way."

"What's the promotion?" Brigadier General Perry said with a wry smile, "If you can be promoted, why should I be given this errand. But having said that, I'm still quite interested in your exhibits."

"Oh? General, can you tell me what you're interested in?" Ice Cube made an alluring gesture.

"What do you think of your land ships?"

Chapter 357 Chapter 23 Amiya, have you finished your homework?

"There is no doubt that the land cruiser we design and produce can fully reach the advanced level of Terra." Ice Cube spoke with confidence, and the combat effectiveness was achieved, this is not bragging.

"I saw that your land cruiser is also in the catalog for foreign sales, is it the same as the one you use?"

"Of course." Ice Cube patted his chest and assured, "We can not only sell standard land cruisers, but also customize them according to the needs of customers, so as to achieve complete customized production."

For this kind of problem, Ice Cube naturally takes care of everything. Although there is only a slight difference in appearance, the foreign trade version and the internal purchase version presented by Transit can be said to be two completely different things.

What kind of customization, optional modules and the like are just an excuse to make money when the monkey version is reduced.But no matter how it is, at least the appearance and name must be the same as the land cruiser for its own use.

As one of the upper three permanent members of the five permanent members, the munitions of the soil turtle are obviously very attractive.But the big dogs want to buy 99. If you bring out the vt4, others will feel almost meaningless, and then buy Leopard 2, m1, t90. become.If vt4 is renamed 99E, do you think it will sell well?

Although the export must be the monkey version, Ice Cube doesn't feel burdened by this nonsense, because he knows very well that Victoria is only interested at most, and it is impossible to actually place an order to buy a ship.For this level of military procurement, no country capable of building ships will choose to purchase abroad.

Not to mention Victoria, an industrial powerhouse, warship orders are absolutely inseparable cakes for the country's shipyards, not to mention the kidnapping of the government and the army by capital, the business of shipbuilding alone is the livelihood of millions of workers Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Victorian army to purchase land-ships from outside.

"The price is not cheap."

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General, should be very clear that the price of this important national weapon will definitely not be low, after all, the cost is there." Bing Cube explained with a smile.

It's not just that the price is not low, once you buy this kind of thing home, you can realize what it is called a gold-swallowing monster.Personnel training requires money, maintenance requires money, and port facilities need to be upgraded. Maybe you have to build a special port and breathe directly into the treasury. Japan and South Korea have a deep understanding of this point.

"However, from my personal point of view, you can suggest that the fleet purchase some compatible naval weapon base stations or subsystems. It does not necessarily require the purchase of land ships, but it is also sufficient to complete corresponding tactical tasks."

"I will consider your suggestion, but Mr. Ice Cube should also understand that I don't care about this kind of thing."

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General, is humble. I will select some suitable ones from the product catalog for you to review later."

"You think too highly of me, I really have no say in equipment procurement." Brigadier General Perry shook his head with a wry smile, "But I am looking forward to your performance at the exhibition, although gold does not always shine, but gold It will definitely shine."

"With your kind words, since Your Excellency the General needs to stick to his post during the mission, when we get to Londinium, I will definitely invite you to try the famous dishes from my hometown."

"May Victoria prosper and prosper, Cheers."

Although no verbal agreement was reached, Ice Cube was quite satisfied, at least it was a good start.Dinner didn't take much time, there was plenty of work to do after both the perry and the ice.

The dry and cold air made Ice Cube involuntarily tighten his high-necked jacket, and it also cleared his slightly drunk mind, but after a stressful day, he was somewhat tired, and he put his hands in his pockets and took a long yawn.

"The work is not finished yet, you can't rest yet." Fiona couldn't help but reminded as she followed the ice cube down the gangway of the Berwick.

"I'll talk about the work when I go back, and I'll talk about it when I go back." Bing Cuo looked around and said to him.

"After returning, the rotating board of directors needs you to give a brief report on the battle in the afternoon, and a detailed written report can be submitted later. In addition, the recuperation vacation of the leader of the target drone and his entourage in Rhodes Island will soon end, and you need to approve returning to the team."

"Zhuo, the target plane, I forgot about him." Bing Cuo slapped his forehead, only to remember that there was still such a person in his team, waiting for the LAV that would act as a shuttle to come in, he thought about it, and answered Said: "The time should be about the same...Let Rhodes Island send him directly to Londinium to join us."

Now there are too many people here, and it is not very convenient to take off and land carrier-based helicopters. In addition, the safety of long-distance flight cannot be guaranteed 100%. We still need to be cautious about the transportation of SVIP-level personnel such as target drones. There are not enough wingmen to take care of each other. , Provide backup, it is safer to take land transportation.

While the target drone in Rhodes Island was a bit boring, it was quite comfortable.Even if Ceobe lives in the intensive care unit, and the target drone is only an escort, he still enjoys care that is equivalent to opening his mouth and stretching out his hand for a meal.

Rhodes Island is not a charitable organization, after all, there is a large family to support, and it is also a place to earn money.As long as you are willing to spend money, the treatment will naturally rise.

The target fuselage is the senior management of Party A's father, and there is still money in his pocket. After Xiao Ke's surgery and recovery for a period of time, he can easily live a retired life of going to the small square every day, rua-rua beautiful girl.

Ease is ease, but it's a bit boring.

"Push the lever, pull the collective pitch! It's about to enter the vortex ring!" The drone reached out and grabbed Amiya's arm next to it and shook it violently. Watching the helicopter lean forward and accelerate, it gradually changed from falling into the vortex ring and crashing. Out, he was relieved.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all me..." Amiya gripped the joystick nervously, and kept apologizing for her operation mistakes.

"You don't need to apologize, you've done a great job." Of course the target drone wouldn't reprimand Amiya. At her age, even if the seat had touched the front stopper, Amiya could barely reach it with her toes. rudder.

"Come on, let's turn around at the river ahead, try again, and pay attention to the vertical speed not exceeding 5 meters per second when hovering and descending." The target drone looked out the window and commanded.

"Don't be stressed, you are already a genius in terms of learning ability. When I was your age, although I had accumulated six to seven hundred hours of flying experience, most of them were accumulated on fixed-wing aircraft , the helicopter is still difficult to fly.”

"Brother Target Machine is amazing..."

"That's right, come on, you can do it too." The corners of Amiya's mouth couldn't help but turn up when Amiya called out to the serious nonsense drone.

"Huh? Why can't you step on the rudder?"

"I shouldn't, I..."

"Ding. The simulation is over." Just as the target machine was about to turn around and look at the operating screen of the simulator behind it, a system sound sounded, and then Kelsey's big face filled all the windshield of the cockpit: "Amiya, have you finished your homework?"
