Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 699 Chapter 699
Off the coast of Bunas, there are countless ships coming and going on the busy waterway. The tonnage of these ships is generally not large, and most of them are used for short-distance transportation of goods.

Although most navies in the world have eliminated sailing ships, the development of civilian transportation is not as fast as expected because of the large scale of the military shipbuilding program.

Most offshore transport ships are small boats with wooden hulls. In fact, they don't have much attack value or capacity.

However, there are still many giant ships being built, and some civilian passenger ships have a tonnage of more than 3000 tons, which can be called giant ships.

Near the outer anchorage, there are countless patrol boats shuttling, and the huge battleship funnel is billowing thick smoke, making the already dark sky even more hazy.

The Lions Empire declared war on the Tang Kingdom, and the navy has almost entered a state of war. Although the rainy season came suddenly and the floods also came suddenly, the Lions Empire completed the battle preparations as soon as possible.

All the warships have been assembled, and the huge fleet is docked off the coast of Bunas, bringing an endless sense of security to the new residents of Bunas.

No kidding at all, the four Burners-class battleships are strong, and there are more than ten cruisers and nearly twenty destroyers.

They are waiting, waiting for the Dorne fleet going north to join them, and then they will set off to join the fleet of the Poplar Empire going north to Mirage.

After Mirage obtained supplies, they assembled the fleet of Mirage and attacked Linshui. Using their absolute superiority in force, they completely destroyed Linshui Port and paralyzed the maritime transportation of Datang Kingdom.

In order to be able to counteract the threat from the air, all the warships participating in the operation installed many more large-caliber machine guns, which enhanced the air defense capability, and it can be said that they armed themselves like a hedgehog.

In the auditorium of the battleship Burners 1, advisors from Cyric were celebrating their upcoming victory with the admirals of the Lyons Empire in advance.

You know, the assembly of dozens of battleships is simply invincible in their eyes.They couldn't figure out how Tang Mo could resist such a powerful fleet.

"It doesn't matter, we won't be too risky this time." Cyric's advisor comforted the admiral of the Lions Empire: "Even if we just cut off the enemy's ocean routes and sink their oil ships, we will win !"

They have no reason not to be confident, because the ground troops of the Great Hua Empire have already invaded Tang, and there will be reinforcements from Qin and Chu in the future. It can be said that Mount Tai is overwhelmed.

If it is not enough, they can also transport the troops of the Ice Cold Empire and the Mirage Kingdom to Beiyuan City and land on the other side to put pressure on the Tang Kingdom through the Mirage Kingdom.

Coupled with the superior navy's attack on Linshui Dongwan Longgang... It can be said that the Tang Kingdom is under control everywhere, and there is no chance to resist.

Even if Tang has air superiority, the anti-Tang alliance that can participate in the war also has air forces, and the total number of these air forces exceeds [-]!

Even if most of these planes are old-fashioned and have two wings, it is more or less possible to insist on not letting Tang take advantage of the air force and disrupt the opponent's combat deployment.

No matter how you calculate it, it is all your own advantage. How can this not make these high-level empires who participated in the war excited?After all, the demise of the Tang State would be of great benefit to them.

On the one hand, they can divide up Tang's wealth and technology, and get everything they want.

On the other hand, they can also destroy the development model of the Tang State that keeps them awake at night, extinguish the spark that they hate, and prevent the reform methods of the Tang State from flowing out and affecting their respective countries.

In short, this is a war that is very beneficial to all countries and once and for all, so there is no reason not to fight!At the same time, they have no reason to let the Tang Kingdom continue to exist.

"I still recommend cutting off the enemy's transportation line! We don't need to cut into dangerous coastal areas to fight." The admiral of the Lions Empire was worried that his warship would have problems, so he suggested.

"Don't worry! The Frozen Empire's naval fleet is approaching the mirage naval fleet. They will attack first. We just went to help, and there is no danger." Cyric's advisor continued to comfort.

In his opinion, by the time the follow-up fleet arrives in Mirage, the battle at sea should almost be over.The naval fleets of Mirage Kingdom and Ice Cold Empire are already strong enough to crush the Tang Dynasty Navy.

At this time, an officer knocked on the door and walked into this not-so-large auditorium. He walked behind his officer and said in a low voice: "Sir, the news just sent is that the Tang army is trying to attack the border defense of the Dahua Empire. thwarted."

Redman's offensive was not going well. He assembled an armored army to try to launch an offensive, but progress was slow due to lack of air superiority.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Tang army withdrew from the battle, which greatly enhanced the confidence of the coalition forces, making them think that the Tang army's armor torrent was nothing more than that.

"After all, the strength of the Dahua army is too obvious. They have at least 30 troops defending on the northern front. The Tang army may not even have 100,000 people..." The admiral of the Lions Empire smiled even more, and he also I began to feel that this time the war to destroy the Tang Kingdom might really be in sight.

The Tang Kingdom was flooded in the country, and was besieged by so many empires outside. It can be said that it was overwhelmed by internal and external troubles, and there was no chance of turning over.

So he raised his wine glass to Cyric's advisor, and said with a smile: "Then, I wish us success!"

"It's a win!" Cyric's advisor also smiled and raised his wine glass, but before the two of them drank the wine in the glass, they heard a muffled muffled sound coming from a distance.

"Huh?" Even though it was still inside the hull through the thick armor, the dull explosion was clearly heard by everyone. Cyric's advisor frowned, and the Navy of the Lions Empire The general also looked displeased.

If something goes wrong at this time, such as a boiler explosion or ammunition igniting, they really want to kill a few unlucky ones as an example.

"What's going on?" The admiral of the Lions Empire held his wine glass and looked at the people around him with a look of displeasure: "Go and see!"

When the officer heard the order, he quickly turned around and went out. When he climbed onto the deck, he saw that the deck was already full of sailors. They looked at the battleship Burnas 3 in the distance, pointing and talking.

He pushed aside the crowd, and then saw Bunas No. 3 that was emitting thick smoke, he was slightly taken aback, somewhat frightened by the sight in front of him, so he murmured subconsciously: "Why, what's going on? "

"I don't know... Bunas No. 3 suddenly exploded, and I don't know what happened, it might be..." The sailor who heard the murmur answered the question, but he just wanted to say that it might be the boiler. At the time of the explosion, there was a sudden explosion from the bow of the battleship Burnas 3.

Although the sky is not bright anymore, with the lights of Bunas City in the distance and the afterglow of the setting sun, it can still be clearly seen that the bow of the battleship Bunas 3 was slightly lifted by the explosion. The terrifying explosion has distorted the deck.

"Why, what's going on, what's going on..." The officer who came to investigate looked at the battleship Burnas 3 that exploded in the distance, with a look of disbelief.

At this moment, on the distant sea surface, at a position that no one noticed, a tubular device drew small ripples on the water surface, and it was slowly moving forward. Battleship Burners 3 behind Burners 2.

"Torpedo ready!" The captain of the U-11 submarine with his face on the periscope issued a low order.In the dimly lit command room, the crew repeated the captain's orders.

In the torpedo compartment at the front end, the soldiers opened the safety device of the torpedo, then unscrewed the torpedo loading hatch at the front end, and pushed the torpedo into the torpedo launch tube with difficulty.

At the same time, the three torpedo tubes on the other side have already aimed at the target docked at the anchorage. For this submarine, that battleship is completely undefended prey.

"Launch!" After completing the steering and aiming of the submarine, the captain gave the command to attack again.

Because the other party is completely unaware of the existence of submarines, they have too much time to shift the launch position, complete the aiming and launch the torpedo calmly.

Tang Mo's 533 caliber torpedoes were all mature designs with improved reliability in the later stage, and there was no quality problem of not exploding after hitting the target.

Because the process and design itself are mature products that have been tested on the battlefield, the testing process is omitted, and mass production and deployment are very fast.

"Torpedo launch!" The sailors repeated their captain's order, opened the submarine's torpedo tube, and then skillfully unscrewed the compressed air valve in the dark.

With the opening of the torpedo hatch on the bow of the submarine, a burst of bubbles jumped to the sea surface, and then three torpedoes were pushed out of the hatch one by one by the compressed air, accelerating towards the distant target.

The propeller turned rapidly, stirring up a cloud of air bubbles, and a white trail appeared on the sea surface, leading from the submarine to the distant Burners-class battleship.

The three straight lines moved forward, approaching the target little by little. At this time, most of the sailors on the battleship Bunas 2 were still crowded on the deck, watching the excitement of the battleship Bunas 3.

They didn't realize at all that there were three white lines on the side of the battleship under their feet, which were close at hand, and they were about to hit the steel plate under their feet.
