Chapter 206 Chapter 206 Poor Information

In fact, more complete information has already been sent to Wangcheng of Yangmu Kingdom.Augustin Leibert even got a very accurate sketch.

Looking at the sketch in front of him and the obvious black smoke, he felt really indescribable.

The elves who have seen the steam engine for a long time only need to take a look at the two tall chimneys and the black smoke that continues for days to know that there are two steam engines installed in this thing!
King Yangmu XI of the Yangmu Kingdom also stared at the painting, and asked with some doubts: "Steam-powered battleship? You mean, the Datang Group put steam power on the ship...? Indeed, if If that kind of power could propel a ship, it could really replace sea wind."

Although he also knows steam engines and these important technologies, he really can't keep up with the development of the times when it comes to this specific technical issue.

There is no way, as a monarch, his skill points are almost all focused on internal affairs, diplomacy, military and other skills that can support his governance.

Augustin Leibert didn't know much about technology, but because he made his fortune by relying on the steam engine, he still knew a lot about it.

Moreover, because of his frequent contact with Cyric, he also learned a lot about the application of steam engines.In fact, he also learned about the mine steam engine recently, but he hasn't had time to promote it.

So at this moment, he explained to his monarch: "On land, there are already steam-powered trains. It is not surprising that there are such ships on the sea."

Then, he continued to add with an ugly face: "However, when the other party installs new types of artillery, new types of ammunition, and new types of steam engine power on a ship... our superiority in the number of warships at sea is no longer there is none left!"

He really didn't expect that the little-known Datang Group, after handing over the needle gun technology and steam engine technology, would be able to come up with so many derivative technologies in a short period of time, quickly leaving the world behind behind.

Cyric has now launched a copy of the C64 artillery, and the other party is lobbying the Poplar Kingdom to buy these cannons, and is threatening to sell the artillery to the neighboring countries of the Poplar Kingdom, preparing to regain control of the Poplar Kingdom's arms procurement.

The Augustine family, which has been resisting Cyric's return to the Poplar Kingdom, is actually under a lot of pressure.

Yangmu XI sat in his seat and said with emotion: "We used to have 100 first-class sailing warships! But now, the other party may have one such ship, which is enough to block one of our ports!"

Augustin Leibert also realized that the delay of intelligence would bring disaster to his own country's fleet: "Damn it... Our naval warship commanders don't know what they will face! Our messengers arrived in Austria By the time of Sa Port, the navy's warships should have already set off!"

After all, he only now knew that the opponent was not a sailing warship, but a new steam-powered warship.

I don't know how to control this kind of warship, but as the actual ruler of Nanshui Port, he has a certain understanding of naval equipment.

Facing the new-style flowering bombs and new-style cannons, the original naval warships can be said to be powerless to fight back. He judged from the news sent that the new-style artillery that shined in the Battle of North Ridge must be equipped in the Abandoned this warship lying across the sea off Nanshui!
The king was also very depressed, and he also realized that his fleet might suffer failure.So he looked at Augustine Leibert with some irritability, waiting for him to say something.

Leibert roughly analyzed the situation, and felt that the fleet going south was probably in danger.

According to common sense, not all warships stationed in the Osa military port will go south, so there should be between 10 and 15 warships going south.

This number is basically everyone's speculation. After all, the feedback from Osa Port is still on the way, and they can only rely on their own guesses to judge the situation.

In fact, this is also the impact of backward communication technology. In ancient times, this situation often determined the outcome of a war.

For example, in some ancient wars, the attacking side seemed to have hundreds of thousands of troops, but they were defeated. To a large extent, it was due to the backwardness of medical and communication technologies, which caused difficulties in command and decision-making.

It is as if now, when the decision-makers discover the problem, the front-line war has already been fought, and no matter how wise the decision-makers are, nothing can be changed.

Therefore, Lei Bote spoke gloomily, and said the most likely ending: "They will rush southward to Nanshui Port! There, they will be smashed to pieces by enemy warships!"

"In these news, it has been mentioned many times that the opponent's speed is very fast, and the opponent can even smash our ship..." He flipped through several pieces of information sent, and pushed the information to King Yangmu Eleven.

King Yangmu looked down at the seemingly alarmist information, and finally raised his head and asked Augustine Leibert: "Some people say that the other party is a warship made of steel. Is this possible?"

Rappert could only bite the bullet and answer his monarch's question: "Maybe, because we did experiments in the pool before, and steel can completely float on the sea."

"Then, why didn't we build steel battleships before?" Poplar XI raised his own question curiously.

"Because the power of the sails can't drive such a heavy warship, even if it is manufactured, its speed is too slow, and it can't catch up with any enemy ships." Augustin Leibert explained.

In fact, the elves are also developing a brand new warship, which hangs some iron sheets on the outside of the wooden hull to imitate the attack of fire and solid shells.

However, this kind of attempt will increase the weight of one's battleship by a large amount, which will directly affect the speed of the ship, making this kind of warship unable to keep up with the sailing formation of other warships in the fleet.

This directly affects the combat efficiency of this new type of warship, and it also makes it unable to form formation with most of its own warships, which further affects the navy's established tactics.

To be honest, this is not a small problem. This problem has even affected the execution of tactics, and even overturned the previous tactics and destroyed familiar tactical routines.

Therefore, the new warships have only stayed in theoretical research and a small amount of improvement until now.Some warships hang some iron plates on the outside, which is already the latest result of the research and development of new warships.

A battleship made entirely of metal like the Datang Group has never appeared before, and no one will be able to successfully imitate it in a short time.

This also made His Majesty the King of the Yangmu Kingdom feel a serious crisis, the serious crisis of losing the ocean!
Marquis Augustin Leibert caught a glimpse of the king's face, and he always wanted to say something, so he could only continue to explain: "No one knows that the other party can pile up so many new warships on a battleship at the same time. technology."

Yang Mu XI drew a long tone, and confirmed with displeasure: "That is to say, it is possible...the other party used steam engine technology to increase the power, and then allowed their warships to use metal hulls... and then, they also Equipped with new cannons on your battleship?"

"It is very likely that they also used other technologies. According to the description in this painting, the opponent's cannon is installed in an iron box. To turn such a large iron box, it must rely on complex transmission technology. .” Leibert said again, and then comforted his majesty the king: “Actually... our fleet may not be defeated..."

"If we can win, it must be good." The king was comforted, somewhat relieved: "But shouldn't we have this kind of new warship?"

Without waiting for Augustine Leibert to say anything, he continued to ask: "...Why, why did we have a relationship with such a weapon manufacturer? Augustine? Is it possible that we can repair the relationship between the two parties and find a way to let Are they selling all of this technology to us?"

Augustine Leibert immediately said: "I have already sent envoys, but because we can't reach the south by sea, we can only go by land... From the land to the Kingdom of Wright, I guess... we have to go A long time."

In this respect, he still has a little aristocratic wisdom.From his experience, he can also see that it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the rising Datang Group in order to maintain the Yangmu Kingdom's leading position in weapons.

In this situation, it is not so reassuring to simply rely on the Cyric Consortium.

The king was obviously not satisfied with Leibert's solution. He thought for a while and said, "What we need now is time! Find a way to get that warship to let one of our envoy ships go south! You go back to Nanshui personally , must... must have a good relationship with the other party! No matter the cost!"

Lei Bote nodded slightly, then stood up, and said goodbye: "I understand! Your Majesty!"

After he was promoted to Marquis by the king, he stayed in the royal city and would not leave easily.This time the king actually ordered him to return to Nanshui, which made him a little excited in his heart.

After all, no matter how good Wangcheng is, it is not his territory, and Nanshui is his foundation.Therefore, Nanshui had a problem, and he was more anxious than the king.

Therefore, he returned to his heart like an arrow: "I will leave immediately!"

Not long after he walked out of the house, a waiter came in and brought bad news to his king: "The special envoy of the Cypress Kingdom has arrived! Your Majesty! He has sent a message... The Cypress Kingdom rejected our request and decided to Do not ally with us..."

"What did you say?" Yangmu Eleven stood up excitedly and exclaimed, "Why?"

Another decadent day today, the second update will be delivered tomorrow morning, sorry.
