Ship transformation, the admiral goes to the military police to repent

Saratoga looked at the two ship girls' ships sailing away and asked Vian curiously.

After all, the only one who knows Clemenceau's real combat ability best here is Vian.

"Clemenceau."

Wei An gave his answer without hesitation.

"Is there no chance of her winning in Shropshire?"

Wei An thought about this.

"If Shropshire can successfully use a torpedo attack to cause Clemenceau to leak and reduce its speed, and if Shropshire is not skilled enough to handle these things."

"Otherwise I don't know how Clemenceau lost."

Just when Saratoga wanted to pull Vian aside to ask more questions but was rejected by him with a smile, she could only pout and start observing the two ship girls, while explaining the information to others.

Elizabeth naturally stayed on Yukikaze's warship, while Hood drove his own ship next to Yukikaze.

As Clemenceau walked away, she recalled the ideas that Vian had instilled in her before.

Don't think about saving resources and ammunition. If you want to fight, you have to use full firepower. Even if it is a mosquito, you have to use a cannon.

Although Xuefeng's fear of insufficient firepower is quite serious in this family, the most serious one is Wei'an who came out of Rabbit's house.

At the same time, never underestimate others,

So after both sides sailed for a long time, they arrived at the designated sea area.

Their shadows could no longer be seen on the vast ocean, and after confirming the start with Saratoga.

Shropshire immediately began to observe the movements on the sea through the vision around his warship.

She is smaller than Clemenceau's ship, so her concealment is slightly better.

If we talk about discovering the target, she must have discovered Clemenceau first.

The exercise area used this time is an area of ​​sea with a diameter of 50 nautical miles.

Now from Saratoga's perspective, the distance between them is more than 40 nautical miles.

Both sides were moving towards the center of the sea with a purpose.

However, Clemenceau's speed is obviously much higher.

While they were sailing, Vian and the others were a little bored, so she told Vian a few jokes.

However, when the distance between Clemenceau and Shropshire was 25 nautical miles, Saratoga finally cheered up.

"There are changes! There are changes!"

Saratoga's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"They are now about 25 nautical miles apart, and Clemenceau just started to slow down."

"She seemed to have discovered something, and she turned around!"

Saratoga watched as Clemenceau and Shropshire continued to sail and sooner or later they would meet each other.

But now Clemenceau turned his ship around and pointed the side of his warship in the direction of Shropshire.

At the same time, she kept adjusting her sailing angle to keep her in the T-head position.

"Clemenceau's turret has begun to turn, aiming at Shropshire's position!"

"Now the distance between them is only 20 nautical miles! Clemenceau must have discovered Shropshire's location long ago!"

"Amazing! You can detect the enemy within 25 nautical miles, and now it's still out of sight!"

At the same time, everyone turned their attention to Wei An.

Clemenceau must have known about Shropshire if he had discovered it so quickly.

In response, Wei An just looked at Xuefeng.

"Sister, has Shropshire left the search range?"

"Yeah, he just left my detection range."

After installing the radar, Yukikaze has the same search and observation capabilities as Clemenceau.

The positions were arranged so that Xuefeng, who ran faster, was at a farther distance, while Shropshire was closer to them.

Shropshire has also been on the radar for snow and winds.

How could they not understand after hearing what Vian and Xuefeng said? Shropshire had already entered Vian's search range within 25 nautical miles.

However, Hood and Elizabeth have become numb to Vian and his ship girls' ability to create surprises. They just want to see what other surprises Clemenceau can bring them this time.

"17 nautical miles!"

"14 nautical miles!"

"Clemenceau is firing! He's firing at a distance of 14 nautical miles!"

The roar of artillery fire was deafening.

Clemenceau had locked onto Shropshire's position via radar early on, and having been aiming for a long time, she chose to fire alternately.

She did not fire her artillery fire once, and her battleship accelerated and changed direction again.

But what Clemenceau didn't expect the most was that her artillery fire actually hit the target.

She was hit by the 14-nautical-mile bombardment.

Because after 14 nautical miles her hit rate was already very low, and she was not prepared to hit it on the first try.

As for the reason for the hit.

Shropshire She had not yet spotted Clemenceau's ship, so Clemenceau fired at her, and by the time she knew it the shells were already in the air.

So, after predicting the landing points of the first few shells, she, who had rich experience, confirmed that they would not hit her, but also confirmed that she had been discovered, so she took evasive action.

But she made an evasive move and caught the shell that was fired later and was a little off target.

It is better to be accurate in receiving than to hit.

Chapter 137 Clemenceau and Shropshire Exercises (End)

The sudden situation stunned everyone, and all the other plans that Clemenceau had made before were of no use.

Although it is an exercise, the extent of damage to the ship will still be determined.

Clemenceau's bombardment was taken up by Shropshire on the quarterdeck.

The armor-piercing capability of the 381mm main gun is greatly weakened at a distance of 14 nautical miles.

But Shropshire was just an ordinary heavy cruiser, and this shot penetrated her directly.

Clemenceau's judgment in the simulation was very accurate.

Shropshire is losing steam.

A target drifting on the sea, what would be the result if she could not fire at a distance that could reach Clemenceau.

Unsurprisingly, Clemenceau spotted Shropshire quickly adjusting their position after gradually losing momentum.

With the hit from the previous time, her second bombardment was obviously much easier.

With two new shells delivered to the Shropshire battleship, the exercise also came to an end.

No one expected that the battle would end so easily. Shropshire didn't even use his superb artillery skills and skilled experience.

Clemenceau ended the suspense at a distance that she could not observe.

If the operation monster can make up for the lack of numerical values ​​by operation, then Clemenceau is not only a numerical monster but also a cheat.

They really couldn't understand the battle of Clemenceau. Battleship duels usually took place at a distance of 10 nautical miles or less.

The combat power she displayed far exceeded that of ordinary battleships.

In this battle, Clemenceau's advantage of high speed was not demonstrated.

In particular, Hood and Elizabeth also heard the conversation between Xuefeng and Vian.

The warships under his command have a longer search range and faster speed than other warships.

What does this mean?

In the absence of aircraft carrier reconnaissance, his warships always have the upper hand over other warships.

A faster speed allows them to reach a favorable position faster and take the initiative in battle.

Even the choice of whether to fight or not is in the hands of the Vian ship girl, and the only ship that can catch up with his battleship is the destroyer.

But isn't it just giving away lives to let the destroyer chase the battleship and the Snow Wind, which is obviously not an ordinary destroyer?

As for wanting to break through Clemenceau's air defense circle from the sky, a sufficiently powerful aircraft carrier girl is required.

Or it could be an aircraft carrier carrying powerful carrier-based aircraft.

Meeting any one of these conditions is difficult.

The last tactic that flashed through their minds was to attack from underwater, relying on submarines, which would give them a greater chance.

However, submarine ship girls are rarer than battleships and aircraft carriers. Even the submarine ship girls of the Ship Girls Union are very rare.

It can be said that Clemenceau really gave them an unparalleled shock in this battle.

As a battleship, Clemenceau's firepower is not inferior to most of the mainstay ship girls. Its speed is unique among battleships. Its air defense is also good and can be modified by other ship girls.

But now Clemenceau can guarantee such a hit rate just after she materialized the hull. They dare not imagine how high her hit rate will be after she is trained.

Even at their peak strength, they could only barely reach her starting point. If they had to wait for Clemenceau to grow to his peak, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.

In their eyes, everyone else is a fighter with some limited abilities, but Clemenceau simply turns into a hexagon and can fight anything.

And the root of all this lies in her admiral, Wei'an.

They felt that they had overestimated Vian enough because of what happened today, but now Clemenceau slapped them in the face again.

That is the upper limit of their thinking, but not the limit of Wei An and his ship girls.

“Why can they observe so far?”

Hood still couldn't help but ask the question in his mind.

"Renovation."

Wei An's two simple words blocked her from asking the next question.

Isn’t the biggest difference between his ship girl and other ship girls the all-round transformation?

For Wei'an, talents that can improve the mental limit of ship girls are fine, as only his ship girls can enjoy them. The security of matters related to ship equipment is still too low.

Now his ship girl can only bully others. She is not the kind that can crush others in all aspects and across generations. She should develop slowly and not recklessly.

However, the manifestation of his ship's hull could not be concealed, and there was no need to hide it too much.

That is his value as an admiral.

In the end, Hood did not continue to ask questions. He just glanced at Vian from time to time and thought, waiting for Clemenceau and the others to come back.

The two people who came back were in such different moods, one was jubilant, the other was depressed and aggrieved.

Shropshire, Vian's ship girl, also asked Clemenceau about the details of the previous exercise on the way back.

He also knew why he was discovered and hit in advance.

The reason was the two golden ship equipment whose effects she had not known before.

At the same time, she felt more powerless inside.

Because she is Vian's ship girl, she knows that Clemenceau and the others are not yet in their complete form.

Even though she can't do anything to Clemenceau now, this is still Clemenceau's first generation ship equipment.

How could she not feel sad when she thought about how she had gone through so many battles to grow to where she is now, but was easily crushed by the ship girl transformed by Wei'an?

So after coming back, Shropshire looked at Vian who was smiling at him, and his originally sad mood could no longer be suppressed.

She walked to Wei'an's side, her eyes were red and moist, but she couldn't let her little pearl fall easily. There were other people around, and she couldn't lose face for her master, her admiral.

Seeing Shropshire's aggrieved look, Vian felt bad too.

This is the ship he salvaged himself in the true sense, and they are all his ship girls.
