Chapter 453 The First Emperor Fights the Indian Emperor! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"The First Emperor" is here!
After "Zhuge Kongming" led "Pang Shiyuan", "Zhou Gongjin" and "Lu Zijing" they used a 630mm heavy torpedo hammer to blow up two British "Sovereign" classes in a very short period of time, today Here comes the real protagonist.

I saw "Qin Shihuang" leading "Emperor Han Gao", "Emperor Guangwu of Han", "Emperor Jin Wu", "Emperor Wen of Sui", and "Emperor Taiwu of Tang" under the protection of a group of 2000-ton "Guard" destroyers , lined up in a column, and the menacing ones came up!
These six are now all battlecruisers with a standard displacement of 2.5 tons and a full load displacement of 3.15 tons, equipped with eight 8mm 330-caliber main guns—although the Ming Dynasty Navy’s standard for dividing battlecruisers is the existing battleship The defense and firepower of a cruiser, and the speed of a cruiser.By no means does it mean that armor and guns will shrink.Of course, if you compare the "Shihuang" class with the "Da Zhou" class battleship that uses the same 45 horsepower power system, it does mean sacrificing armor and firepower in exchange for higher speed.However, the opponent of "First Emperor" today is not his own "Great Zhou" class, but the British "Emperor of India" class!

And the "Emperor of India" is of course quite powerful - it is a "turnaround ship" built by the British Empire at any cost. Its standard row is the same as that of the "Shihuang" class, which is 2.5 tons, and the full row is 2000 tons less. But there are also 2.95 tons.

“印度皇帝”的火力配置乍看上去是强过“始皇帝”的，它拥有10门13.5英寸的大炮，而“始皇帝”只有8门330毫米大炮。不过大明的穿甲弹技术一直比大英要领先，现在已经有了穿甲能力更强的风帽穿甲弹。所以330毫米的大明穿甲弹的作战效能应该不亚于13.5英寸（343毫米）的英国穿甲弹。

And the defense ability of the "Emperor of India" is not weak. If only the thickness of the armor is considered and the quality of the armor steel is not considered, it can almost be equated with the Shihuang class.If the quality of the hard steel armor of both sides is to be considered, the defensive ability of "Shihuang" must be better.

However, the "Emperor of India" ran a little slowly, with a maximum speed of only 21.6 knots. Moreover, the speed of 21.6 knots was achieved during sea trials, and the nominal maximum speed was only 21 knots.The "Shihuang" has a nominal maximum speed of 27 knots, and even ran a high speed of 28 knots during sea trials.

In terms of speed, the "Emperor of India" is far behind the "Emperor Shihuang".

However, there is no way around it. Why would Daming’s oil-fired boilers and steam turbines outshine Daying’s similar products by a few blocks! The 7.5-horsepower main engine of "Shihuang" is more than twice as large as the 3.1-horsepower main engine of "India Emperor"!

Although the motivation of the "Emperor of India" is much worse than that of the "Emperor Shihuang", as long as the ship is strong and the guns are strong, it is not impossible to fight a fair battle. However, "Emperor Shihuang", "Emperor Han Gao", "Emperor Guangwu of Han", "Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty", "Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty", and "Emperor Taiwu of the Tang Dynasty" all did not talk about martial ethics, and the word "fairness" did not exist in their dictionaries.

So before they appeared on the stage, more than 90 carrier-based aircrafts that took off from Shuzhongwang and Kuizhongwang had already blown up 6 Indian emperor-class ships. Although they did not sink, they were all injured. .

Among them, the "Emperor of India" was the worst. The power cabin was hit by a 250 kg armor-piercing bomb, one of the four steam turbines was blown up, and the remaining three also had some minor problems, and some pipes Almost 4% of the power was lost after being blown out of steam, the power of the main engine was only 2.1 or 2.2 horsepower, and the speed was also reduced from 21 knots to 15 or 16 knots. Now it has fallen into the six "Indian Emperor" class. The formation last.

The "Roman Emperor" of the same level as the "Emperor of India" was hit by two torpedoes on the buttocks. Fortunately, they were 450mm aviation torpedoes. Tilting, the speed slowed down by 2 knots, but it did not affect the navigation.

Another "Emperor of India" class "Emperor Charlemagne" was hit by a 250 kg aerial bomb on the "head". The deck, exploded below the deck, and ignited something along the way, and now the head of "Charlemagne" is still billowing with smoke!
The "King of England" of the "Emperor of India" class was hit by a 450mm torpedo at the waterline on the starboard side. Fortunately, it entered some water and its body was slightly crooked.

The "King of Scotland", also of the "Emperor of India" class, was blown up with a double 13.5-inch turret located on the "ship's buttocks". The blow of the aerial bomb directly exploded the scoop.However, the fire door under this turret is still quite good, so only the turret was blown up, not the ammunition depot.

There is also the "King of Hanover", which is also of the "Emperor of India" class. It was the least injured, but it was hit by a few 2 kg bombs dropped by the Dragon 100. It didn't hurt anything, but it shattered two lifeboats. , Lighted a fire, and now the fire has been extinguished, but a "black" piece looks a bit ugly.

Because the "King of Hanover" was the least injured, he is the first one today, followed by the "King of Scotland" with a blooming butt, followed by the "King of England" with a slightly crooked body, and "Charlie" with a smoking head. "Man" followed behind the "King of England", followed by the "Emperor of Rome" who had two thunders in his butt, and at the end of the team was the "Emperor of India" who had injured the host and was a little unable to run.

Seeing such crooked "a pile of broken ships", "Qin Shihuang", "Han Gaodi", "Han Guangwu Emperor", "Jin Wudi", "Sui Wendi", "Tang Taiwu Emperor" and others were very happy. Go straight up with full power.Regardless of the "Sovereign" class that was being besieged by the "Beggar Battleship" and the "Military Division" cruisers, they just rushed towards the "King of Hanover", and after rushing more than 2 meters away from it, they were in Under the leadership of "Qin Shihuang", he made a sharp turn at sea, and at the same time slowed down the speed to 22 knots-this is to grab the T position for shelling.

The six "Emperor of India" ships at sea can barely maintain a speed of 6 or 1 knots, and they can't compete with their opponents for the "T" position, so they have to follow the turn quickly, but they are still a beat slower. When the three of them turned around, "Emperor Hannover", "Emperor Hannover", and "Emperor Hannover", only one ship of the "Emperor of India" class completed the turn.So "Qin Shihuang", "Han Gaodi" and "Han Guangwu Emperor" who turned first turned around 24 330mm cannons, and blasted the "King of Hanover" 8000 meters away!
The "King of Hanover" aimed its 10 13.5-inch cannons at the "First Emperor" and blasted them!
For a while, you come and go on the sea, and bullets and rain fly.

The "Shihuang" class is a big ship carrying a small cannon-play steadily!Moreover, the Ming Navy's observation basis and computing power (they were equipped with Taiping First Year-style military abacus) were far superior to their opponents, so they scored their first hit after 8 rounds of salvo.

A 330mm armor-piercing projectile fired by "Han Guangwu Emperor" drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then landed accurately in the middle of the two chimneys of the Hannover. white smoke
William Baga, commanding on the "King William IV" in the rear, will see this scene and know that it is going to fail!

The "King of Hanover" has suffered heavy damage. Its horizontal deck was directly penetrated by a 330mm armor-piercing shell. This armor-piercing shell went straight into the boiler room. The explosion destroyed two boilers and killed all the boiler soldiers in the cabin. , After blowing up some pipes, the speed of the "King of Hanover" was suddenly reduced to 15 knots.

But this was the beginning of the disaster of the "King of Hanover". Just 1 minute later, the 330mm shell fired by the "First Emperor" hit the "King of Hanover" again. The waterline part of the bow once again formed a penetration, directly blasting a big gap, and the sea water rushed in relentlessly, which caused the "King of Hanover" to slow down again, and the hull also tilted.Although the concept of focused protection can ensure that it is difficult to sink, the "King of Hanover" that has lost its speed is now difficult to leave the battlefield.
