Alchemy Greater China

It turned out that this strange alarm was a sonar alarm. During the voyage of more than 20 days, this alarm never sounded, so that Clay Hall almost forgot.

But at this moment, the alarm evokes the memory, and Clayhall looks like he is facing a big enemy, nervous but also a little excited.

Because he knew that the biggest enemy facing Alchemy Kingdom in this "sneak attack" on the archipelago in the Arctic Ocean was the submarine!

Whether our newly developed anti-submarine patrol boat can handle the opponent's submarine is the key to victory or defeat.

The captain gave the order, and the British home fleet immediately became active.

It has to be said that the quality of the British Navy is really unrivaled in the world, and it is unique in the world. It only took 6 minutes from the sound of the alarm to the deployment of a huge formation, and to clear the way for [-] hidden anti-submarine patrol boats!

Eighty anti-submarine patrol boats, like a migrating sea fish group, quickly laid a net around the fleet dominated by battleships. The small bodies of the anti-submarine patrol boats shook one by one, and defensive small torpedoes fired towards the surrounding sea area. go.

In just 2 minutes, about four nautical miles away from the home fleet, there were muffled explosions, and pieces of thin ice suddenly exploded from the bottom of the sea, bounced up, and turned into snowflakes covering the vast sea.

...An anti-submarine patrol boat is a killer weapon created by the British Warship Research Institute. After using sonar to determine the approximate location of an enemy submarine, it can launch an ultra-small torpedo that can sneak up to 30 meters on the seabed.

If the enemy submarine dares to approach, then, under the intensive torpedo attack, the target will have nowhere to hide.

Just now.These [-] anti-submarine patrol boats came under the sonar positioning of the flagship Shanks and fired their first salvo after leaving the mainland.

After the salvo, the thin ice dispersed.The sea water was plunged into darkness again, but in the darkness, a bright black dot floated outside the circle of artillery fire.

"Submarines, must be submarines! Oh, we are too great. Drive the submarine out! Long live England!"

Such voices erupted from countless British warships, as if they had won the Hundred Years' War.

Makes the boss of the naval world jump for joy for hitting the target.It is conceivable that the killer submarine released by Long Hao before, which was more than ten years ahead of this era, put so much pressure on this ocean overlord!

And now, it seems like it's time to let off steam and celebrate?

"Wait. Don't let your guard down, everyone! Submarines are not that easy to deal with."

As a rare powerful faction among members of the royal family.Clay Hall did not get carried away, but his eyes were like eagles, staring at the black spot coldly.

In his view, the opponent's submarine surfaced does not mean anything. At present, there is no evidence that the ultra-small torpedo of the anti-submarine patrol boat hit the opponent.

Sure enough, the bright black spot flickered.Driving back, same moment.Farther away, two or three gray shadows appeared, looming in the sea fog that had not dissipated, like ghosts.

"There are enemy ships!"

Clayhall narrowed his eyes and thought, don't ignore the battleships on the ocean that can really determine the fate of naval battles just to stare at the opponent's submarine!

That shadow might be Long Hao's battleship!

Clay Hall realized that the ships next to him were not slow, and issued precise orders one after another, and the muzzles of each gun were raised, aiming at the hazy figures impressively.

The hazy phantom of the battleship quickly sheltered the black spot, and at this time, the British mainland fleet had at least twenty large-caliber cannons, aiming at the phantom of the warship, which seemed to be alone in the fog!

Yes, the name of the Phantom is worthy of the name, because at the next moment, at least [-] rangers under Clay Hall were shocked to find that the hazy ship shadows on the opposite side were moving away at a fast speed!

Based on the estimation of these experienced British naval officers, the instantaneous speed almost exceeded forty knots!

Wow, what is the concept of forty verses?

You must know that Britain, which deliberately suppresses power technology, currently has the fastest warship at only 28 knots!

The opponent can reach forty knots, which means that the opponent is in an invincible position before the battle begins.

This frustrating and astonishing discovery has not been chewed by many marines of the local fleet, and even more astonishing scenes followed one after another!

The enemy ship, which obviously possessed absolute escape speed, stopped just after running out of the range of the main gun, and the speed dropped from forty knots to below three knots!

In this situation, it seemed that he was clearly provoking himself: Hey, I am faster than you, so I dare to stop and tease you like this, how can you resist me?

A bull as a beast can't stand the provocation of a matador, let alone a proud British soldier whose IQ is several levels higher than that of a bull?

In an instant, the big noses of several captains were smoking with anger!

"Follow me! Chase at full speed! If you dare to humiliate the British Empire like this, you must pay the price!"

"Don't care if you can catch up or not, it's a matter of dignity! Damn the warships of the Alchemy Kingdom, they are touching the tiger's ass! They are playing with fire!"

"Fire, fire! Don't worry about wasting ammunition, if you can't hit it, you have to fight. I want to let them know that the glory of the British Navy is sacred and inviolable!"

……

Just when the orders of several battleships in the British mainland fleet were mixed together, those hazy shadows had already made their next move.

Light always travels faster than sound, and before the loud noise arrived, a yellow gunpowder smoke rose from the hazy ship shadows!

Fire! ?

The loud noise stunned most of the British Navy. They never expected that, as the obvious "zero" party in the "zero-one" relationship, they would dare to attack first instead?

After despising their own speed, do they still want to use their excellent range to continue despising themselves?

Simply deceiving!

Most of the British soldiers had such thoughts in their minds.

After the gunpowder smoke rose, it did not dissipate quickly. Instead, it gathered and scattered in the sky. After a while, a row of big characters was formed!

Also very three-dimensional.

Probably for the sake of the British, these words are all in English.The meaning couldn't be more obvious: "This is my territory, get out!"

Clear meaning, vulgar language.The domineering tone couldn't help but make thousands of soldiers of the local fleet below Clay Hall burn with anger.

what?

I'm waiting for the army to come down, you obviously have no ability to resist, and the sneaky submarine was hit by us just now, you... what capital do you have to tell us to go?

In this way, this "smoke communication" full of warnings not only did not serve as a warning to the proud British.On the contrary, it made them furious, wishing they could fly over there and blast those Alchemy Nation warships to pieces.Send the arrogant ones to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!

The technology of gunpowder displaying characters is not a new thing, such as the fireworks we saw during the Chinese New Year, the romantic sky i love u of courtship... It's all based on this principle.

but.Fireworks and courtship are at night.With the dark and endless starry sky as the background, but now, it is yellow gunpowder smoke that appears in broad daylight.

This kind of appearance has specific requirements, and it must be effective in foggy days. The fog in the sky is the "blackboard" for font appearance.

Alright, let's briefly explain the technology of gunpowder displaying characters. After the gunboat of the alchemy country released this 'high altitude' warning.It accelerated again, together with the bright black spot that was suspected to be an injured submarine.It quickly disappeared from the sight of the British home fleet.

The sudden appearance of the submarine, the super-high-speed phantom gunboat came and released a "smoke warning" and then walked away. These emergencies made the experienced Clay Hall feel a little bit small. Satisfied.

The whole incident revealed a strange and unspeakable atmosphere from the beginning to the end. Perhaps, this atmosphere had planted an ominous feeling in Clay Hall's heart since the lingering fog two days ago. omen.

Because of this, Clayhall suppressed the urge to chase after them all at once. He sighed and issued an order: no warships are allowed to move rashly, and they must maintain their formation. The anti-submarine patrol boats will clear the way ahead, and the battleships behind will slow down and advance.

Clay Hall deeply understands that his side has an absolute advantage in firepower. As long as he uses an upright and upright army to force the opponent's main force to a decisive battle, then the Alchemy Kingdom's navy will definitely be defeated, and then the source island will be wiped out.

After all, after the alchemy country's hole card was known, the aura of mystery faded away. Clay Hall felt that as long as he suppressed his "bottom card" submarine, the big victory would definitely belong to his side!

Therefore, it took a long time for Clay Hall to appease the many captains who were furious.

About half an hour later, the British mainland fleet regained its formation, pushed out the black smoke on the top of the ship, and sailed carefully and firmly towards the range of the source island group.

At this time, black smoke drifted past, and the English phrase "...you get out" in the sky has not completely dissipated...

After two days of sailing ten thousand miles, it was exhausting and exciting. When they arrived at Yuan Island, the four of them disembarked from the sapphire dragon boat and landed on the snow-covered land. They couldn't believe their eyes!

He had heard that Yuandao's development was very good, but he still didn't expect that it would be so good that it could rival Xiajia.

Not to mention the rush of people on the pier, the black castle that looks like Optimus Prime in the distance alone gave Zhen Convenience an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

As for the man-made buildings around the castle, like a chessboard, well-arranged, let alone.

"This is... the Black Iron Battle Fort?"

Zhen conveniently grunted his throat, swallowed his saliva, and muttered like this.

How much time is this?

It is absolutely impossible to build such a big thing that almost rivals the main city of Qianji City on a desolate and uninhabited ice and snow island.

There is only one explanation for this, and that is: the Black Iron Battle Fort is another miracle created by His Majesty Hao!

"Yes, this is the Black Iron Battle Fortress, Lao Zhen, you have four or ten minutes to rest. After that, we will go to watch how the Yuandao defense network cleans up the British mainland fleet!" Long Hao and a Yuandao officer in charge After the exchange, they turned around, smiled and said, "The British fleet has been detected just now, and they are less than forty nautical miles away from here."

Forty nautical miles is not a long distance in a naval battle. It can also be said that this is close to the critical line of engagement!

Hearing that the enemy had arrived at the door, Zhen Fangfang, the commander of the navy, could not take a break. He immediately raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, we are going to fight. How many submarines are there here? As long as we control the distance, we will come with the other party." Guerrilla naval warfare will surely hold back the British!"

However.After saying this, even Zhen Convenience himself felt that it was not convincing.

If the aggressive British mainland fleet can be driven off Yuzhiyuan Island by submarines, then why do they need to worry about it?

"Hehe, Lao Zhen, I understand how you feel."

Long Hao smiled, not worried at all: "According to the information, the total number of British warships coming this time is more than a hundred, and the number of armored battleships alone is close to twenty. Use submarines to drag them? Hehe. Even if it can be dragged for a while , and ultimately could not escape the fate of failure..."

When you hear that the British have hundreds of warships, and more than [-]% of them are armored battleships, think about the giant cannon.Zhen Fangfang and the four of them freaked out!

Such military power.It is almost twice the size of the Indian Ocean Fleet cruising in the South China Sea!

Needless to say, Britain's real target is Yuandao. Such a terrifying invading fleet is determined to break the northern foundation of my alchemy country!

What made Zhen Convenience speechless was that when he went to ask Yuan Dao about the military equipment, for example, how many submarines there were.The answer he got almost made him faint.

Here in Yuandao, there are actually only two submarines named "Child Dragon No. [-]".One of them, just returned from a mission, has obvious damage on it, and is undergoing emergency repairs!

Of course, there are fewer submarines, but Yuandao still has other armed forces. Zhen Fangfang, who was so disappointed that he almost fainted, finally relaxed after learning that there were three imported cruisers purchased from Italy. a little bit.

However, this slightly relaxed heart was soon disrupted by the shock of seeing the real thing and almost suffocated.

These three imported cruisers were worn out and old, and one of them seemed to have just returned to the voyage, and the muzzle facing the sky still had traces of burning and firing.

The person in charge of Yuandao Coastal Defense seemed to see Zhen Convenience's worries, and he explained with a smile: "Commander, these three ships have all gone out to investigate the British fleet just now, and they have released warning smoke. Look, they are not intact. Have you come back? These three ships have no advantages, but they are fast! Of course, they have been specially modified, not the original technology of the Italians."

When it comes to speed, Zhen Convenience is not very surprised. After all, he has ridden the sapphire dragon boats before. Under the guidance of Long Hao, these ships were refitted and refitted, and they escaped from the eyes of hundreds of British warships. It couldn't be more normal. .

It's a pity, Yuan Island can't escape, otherwise, with that abnormal speed, why should we be afraid of the British mainland fleet?

Facts proved that Zhen Convenience's worries were superfluous. Ten minutes later, Long Hao sent someone to find Zhen Convenience and invited him to board the boat.

Well, those three cruisers made in Italy were boarded!

Accompanying him were Breeze and the ten...well, more than ten students.

In addition, there is a team of Genshima Defense Navy in military uniform.

Because Yuan Island is a pioneering land, the garrison troops are not strong. Anyway, from Zhen Convenience's point of view, this batch of defense navy is not very qualified, and they are put under his command, which is like reserve soldiers.

I thought that His Majesty Hao would have a strange move, or deploy strange soldiers to ambush around Yuandao, that's why he was so confident... But looking at it now, it's not like that at all!

In a nervous mood, Zhen conveniently watched the row of ships under his feet one by one, moving away from Yuandao at a constant speed, which seemed to be not preparing for the coming war at all.

Yes, it really doesn't look like you're facing a war at all!

In the scene that Zhen conveniently saw, the residents of Yuandao were working in an orderly manner, without panic at all.

The fish that should be raised, the construction site that should continue to be built, the vegetable that should be grown... and the towering battle fort that looks like a hill seems to be their most trusted backer.

……

After sailing about ten nautical miles away from the source island, Zhen Convenience's worry became a little less, because he suddenly discovered that there was a mist around him at some point, although he couldn't see it at all, but it was very difficult to hide his body on the ocean. Still very helpful.

Zhen conveniently settled down and counted them. There are three cruisers and two submarines in total... Well, isn't one of the 'Dragon' injured and under maintenance?

How could there be two ships?

However, Zhen Convenience quickly got the answer, an answer that reassured him.

Yes, as long as you are like Zhen Convenience, you will be as relieved as he is when you see the bright red in the sea water.

The extra submarine was not a young dragon, but a red dragon's beard. Breeze took a dozen disciples and got into it not long after sailing.

With the escort of Chilongxu, Zhen Fangfang couldn't help but feel hot: Yes, although His Majesty Hao said that the sapphire dragon boat would not participate in the battle, he did not say that Chilongxu would not!

The red dragon's whiskers are coming, so maybe the dragon tooth that looks mighty and ferocious is also behind it, just hiding its fangs, ready to come out at any time to change the situation of the battle?

Haha, I knew how your majesty would act recklessly...

Under Zhen Convenience's random thoughts, this small fleet, which Long Hao called the "observation group", traveled another five nautical miles. Suddenly, Long Hao's deep and majestic voice sounded: "It's here, then stop!"

Ok?

arrive?

Was the fog so thick that the British enemy ships could not be seen?

Otherwise, why did His Majesty Hao say to stop?

There is clearly not even a British warship nearby, it is foggy and empty!

Could it be that my eyesight is too bad?But, really no...

Just when Zhen Fang wanted to ask and check with his three friends who had been "surprised" for two days like him, the sea suddenly rolled, and boundless waves seemed to spew out for free, which made people feel, A trembling feeling from the depths of the soul... A monster is about to be born!

The 'monster' really appeared very quickly. Reflected by Zhen Fangfang's horrified and inexplicable pupils, it was a castle like a hill, covered with dripping sea water, looking up to the sky! (To be continued..)
