Chapter 263 Chapter 263

Finding a catgirl who can fight won't change the way the world works, at least not while she's in school.

Just when Le'er's military training instructor discovered her amazing talent, the Kingdom of Susas sent Tang Mo a not-so-optimistic telegram.

The Kingdom of Sussus has successfully improved its national strength because of tax reforms, but also caused dissatisfaction among many people because of tax reforms.

Before, this discord was suppressed because the Cyric consortium did not stir up trouble, but now, because of Cyric's instigation and manipulation, the political situation in Susas has become unstable.

The king of Susas and the prime minister are busy dealing with civil strife, and there are soldiers from neighboring countries on the border.

In desperation, the Kingdom of Susas had no choice but to send a telegram to Tang Mo for help, hoping that he could operate in advance to avoid being unable to look after each other when a crisis broke out in Susas in the future.

Ever since, Tang Mo had no choice but to gather a batch of supplies and send them to Suzas urgently.However, compared to the strength of supporting Wright, the reinforcement this time does not appear to be of such a large scale.

Because war has not yet broken out in Susas, most of the support transferred to Susas this time is an economic product.

Tang Mo hoped to use the economic benefits brought by these materials to stabilize the internal affairs of Suzas and help suppress those hostile elements who provoked the incident at the source.

The good news is that there is a railway between Tang Mo and Susas. This railway connects Bunas to the Ice Crystal River. It has already been connected, and there is no need to invest in it.

The magic of the railway was manifested at this time. The only two railways in Tang Mo's hands played a strategic role in this way, allowing the materials produced by Bunas and Longdao to arrive at the location where they were needed without hesitation.

And when Tang Mo dispatched troops to deal with the pressure from both Susas and Wright, the fleet commander Bernard, who was idle in Refeng Harbor and had nothing to do, stared dumbfounded at the densely packed sails appearing on the sea, shocked I was speechless for a long time.

He really couldn't believe that when he was waiting in Refenggang and was ready to return at any time, the enemy could come to his door... Could this be the legend that people sit at home and get credit for their heads?
What's even more funny is that after the opponent attacked the guarded armed merchant ship in Refenggang, they waited for more than 2 hours, waiting for the boilers of the Datang Group's steel fleet to heat up completely, and waiting for Bernard to see their messenger...

"The Kingdom of Tarun orders you to surrender!" The messenger said willingly, "Otherwise, you will be completely wiped out by 100 warships of the Kingdom of Taren!"

"I'm not interested in the joke you said at all." Bernard looked at the courier in the brown military uniform and said, "Let your commander wash his neck and wait for death!"

"General Warren will remember what you said today!" The messenger coldly threatened Bernard: "Your fleet will be sunk, and you will die in the icy sea water!"

Bernard was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the adjutant next to him with disdain: "I remember what I said, and I also remember this general called Warren, remember what he said!"

"Send him back!" After he finished speaking, he took off the navy uniform jacket hanging on the wall: "My flagship is easy to identify, I hope you can get more people to catch me!"

The battleship Wolf 1 is indeed easy to identify. As the world's first true cruiser, its hull is much slender than the Bunas-class ironclad ship.

Its speed is very fast, and it is good at long-distance raids and interception operations.With its powerful firepower and steel hull, its naval combat capability also crushes all warships of this era.

After all, it was designed to replace the existence of the Burnas-class battleship, so it naturally surpassed its predecessors in terms of firepower and speed.

When black smoke rose from the sea, the roar of the machinery was like a drum of war, inspiring the courage of the soldiers of Datang Group's maritime security forces.

They waited for war to break out, or rather they expected war to break out, and their opponents obviously didn't know it yet.

"The speed has increased to 20 kilometers! The power of the boiler is slowly increasing! Although the battleship is not in the best condition, it is ready to fight!" Inside the bridge of a Burnas-class warship, the adjutant reported to his captain.

"Has the commander boarded the flagship?" The captain put down the binoculars, looked at the adjutant beside him, and asked for confirmation.

"Commander Bernard has boarded the battleship Wolf 1, and the commander's flag has been raised on the mast. I saw it with my own eyes, and there is no problem." The adjutant replied immediately.

"Then, stand by and hand over the command to Commander Bernard." The captain breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the binoculars again, and looked at the distant sea.

The sailing battleship from Tarun Kingdom was very close, and the opponent seemed to have formed a "eight" formation, splitting troops into two groups, trying to pinch the four strange enemy ships that rushed out of the port with black smoke.

On the bridge of cruiser Wolf 1, Bernard suddenly became a little nervous. He was afraid that the prey in front of him would run away...

"Maintain a basic speed of 20 kilometers! Execute according to the tactics! Line up sequentially! This ship leads, and the remaining warships follow according to the pre-plan! Meet the enemy on the starboard side! Destroy the enemy fleet on the right first!" After a few seconds of nervousness, Bo Nader issued his first order of the day.

Immediately afterwards, he issued a second order: "Left rudder! 15 degrees!"

The purpose of his course adjustment is to find a way to align the starboard side of his fleet with the enemy's left wing fleet in the distance, that is, the one with a figure-eight stroke and a stroke.

"Order the three sailing warships and two armed merchant ships in Refeng Harbor to leave the fleet and return to Refeng Harbor!" Afterwards, he issued a third order.

His fleet's speed will eventually increase to more than 30 kilometers per hour. At that time, his own sailing warships that followed the steel warships out of Refeng Harbor will be thrown away, and the fleet will be out of touch.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Bernard decided to return the dragging sail warships ahead of time. Although this would weaken the number of his fleet, this reduction in numbers did not affect his core combat power.

Half an hour ago, General Warren waited for the returning messenger, and he admired the courage of the opposing commander.

He has 70 first-class sail warships, but the number of warships that his opponent sailed out of Refeng Harbor just now is only a pitiful 8 ships!
Among the 8 warships, there were only two first-class sailing warships he was familiar with, and two armed merchant ships with a patchwork number.

He never expected that such a weak lineup of opponents would dare to go to Hong Kong to face the battle.Then he saw a scene that made him want to laugh - the only two level 1 sailing warships on the other side actually left the fleet with two armed merchant ships and retreated.

In his opinion, it was entirely due to internal strife in the enemy's fleet. Those main fleets refused to obey orders, broke away from the fleet without authorization, and fled back to the port.

Therefore, he didn't plan to attack those timid enemy ships at all, and focused on the... weird guys who were smoking black smoke and had no sails.

"Turn the bow! Meet the enemy on the side! Get ready for the battle!" Varen put down his monocular and ordered triumphantly.

Following his order, the fleet he was in began to turn around and cut into the battle line, so the formation of the Tarun Kingdom's fleet began to change, and the entire shape changed from "eight" to a shape similar to "<".

His purpose is very simple, he wants to lead his own fleet, surround the enemy army from the side and rear, and completely annihilate this tiny fleet in front of him.

Almost at the same moment, Bernard's fleet showed a higher speed, and the four warships had already attached to the starboard enemy fleet, bringing the distance between the two sides to 1500 meters.

"Buzz!" While approaching the enemy, the single-barreled turret on the wolf-class warship began to rotate, pointing at the sailing warship in the distance.

The barrels on these turrets are slender, and the 150mm caliber cannons equipped with retractors are the scariest weapons of this era—no one!

Its rate of fire is terrifying, faster than the 120mm cannons equipped on the Bunas-class warships, and its firepower is more ferocious.

"Fire freely! Lock the target!" The officer commanding the artillery ordered loudly. When the 150mm artillery is attacking the target of the sailing ship, there is no need to fire a salvo at all, which is a waste of ammunition.

It feels really good to sink an enemy warship easily with just one shell.

"Fire!" Putting down the binoculars, Bernard loudly gave the order to attack. With the slight trembling of the battleship under his feet, the huge gunfire kicked off the naval battle, and a real massacre at sea began. !

In the stunned astonishment of the sailors of the Tarun Kingdom, a 150mm shell easily hit the target at a combat distance they had never seen before.

The huge explosion lifted a piece of the side, the sailboat that was hit by the bullet shook, and the towering mast quickly fell to one side.

Even the gunners of Tarun Kingdom, who had not yet reached the combat distance, were still waiting for the distance between the two sides to be reduced to about 300 meters. As a result, they were sent into the sky by an oncoming shell.

A tragic explosion came from another warship, and the sailors on the sailing ship of Tarun Kingdom, which had been ignited with propellants, were swallowed by the flames of the explosion before they could escape.

The soldiers standing on the deck were thrown into the air together with the wooden deck they were stepping on, and then were torn into pieces by the air current, and fell back into the seawater together with the broken planks.

The commander of Tarun Kingdom, who was in charge of dispatching the fleet, froze on the spot. He didn't know what order he should give, or he didn't even know what he was fighting with.

Right in front of his eyes, two battleships were exploding, the other three were sinking, and the remaining two were already on fire.He lost almost a third of his warships within 1 minute of the battle breaking out!
