Chapter 1041

Yue Yun on the king's armored ship is observing the city of re LAN Zha in front with a telescope.

It is against this background that he was ordered to attack all the Dutch warships in the Nanyang and cooperate with the southeast military region to occupy Manila and Jakarta, which belong to the Netherlands.

Liu Chen is also looking at the situation on the island, put down his telescope, he said: "except for some buildings destroyed by shells and explosions, it seems that there is no difference on the island."

"Well, the Dutch and the Japanese are unreliable. It's good to show their foxtail now. At least it can reduce the loss of the Empire. If the Dutch cheat more technology, the Empire will lose even more." Yue Yun said faintly that he always had a deep sense of caution against foreigners. After all, the Empire suffered too much humiliation these years.

Liu Chen looked back at the 23 armored ships with black smoke behind him, looking proud. During the battle of Dengzhou, the armored ships performed well. At that time, they almost galloped in the Navy under the fire of the United Fleet, and the warships of the United Fleet had no fighting back.

Such excellent performance naturally made the shipyards see the blueprint for the development of future warships. Therefore, in this year and a half, the imperial shipyards built 24 armored warships of three tonnage levels on the basis of the first armored warship.

For example, the king armored ship they are riding now belongs to the top class of armored ships. The total armor weight is 1461 tons. The length of the armored fort is 45.5 meters. The armor on the water line of the armored fort is 355 mm thick, and the armor under the water line is 304 mm thick. The armor of the main gun exposed turret is 304 mm thick, the gun cover is 15 mm thick, and the armor of the command tower is 203 mm thick. The total length of the armored fort is 95 meters, the width is 19.4 meters, and the draft is 6.53 meters The steam engine has a power of 6000 horsepower, a speed of 14.5 knots and a capacity of 700 tons of coal at a time. It can last 3500 nautical miles at a speed of 10 knots. It has eight boilers with a displacement of 7411 tons and a full load displacement of 7935 tons.

In addition, they are thankful that the Empire's electric power also developed greatly during the construction of the armored ships, so this technology was also applied to the armored ships.

Because of the power, the monarch had installed searchlights produced by the imperial light factory, which were bright enough to match the light of 8000 candles.

In terms of weapons, the king also adopted the most advanced breech line gun technology at present. The main gun is the close guard, with 4 305mm breech guns. These four guns are divided into left and right two, and are mounted on the open-air battery. There are 8 150mm breech auxiliary guns, which are also exposed, with 4 at the head and 4 at the tail, and 16 75mm sampan guns. It can be said that they have sufficient firepower.

The most important thing is that the design of the armored warship Fort completely overturned the previous windsurfing warships. It is hoped that the open-air fort has a rotating Fort base, which can shoot without dead angle when sailing.

Liu Chen's face flushed with excitement when he thought of the data of the king's armored ship, but after all, the king is a giant in the armored ship.

At present, the Imperial Navy is mainly composed of armored cruisers with displacement of 3000 tons and 1500 tons. Although these warships can't match the king in firepower, they are enough to hang sail warships in Europe.

However, these warships are powerful and expensive at the same time. It is said that the construction of the king's armored warship cost two million Golden dragons, and these warships cost more than 30 million Golden dragons in total.

Liu Xinhong and Fang Hongming look at the warships slowly entering the harbor.

Although the name of armored ships has spread to every corner of the Empire, they are still shocked to see such a large group of armored ships.

In particular, the armored ship with the "King" painted on the body of the leading ship, as long as you look at this steel monster, you can imagine how powerful he is.

"Lao Fang, these armored ships are so awesome that I want to be a navy." Liu Xinhong's saliva will flow down.

Fang Hongming nodded. The appearance of Changping machine gun made him feel that there was no more powerful weapon in the world. Now he saw a miracle again.

They waited at the dock for a while, waiting for the warship to dock safely. Yue Yun, Liu Chen and other Navy generals came down from the warship.

"General Yue Yun." Liu Xinhong and Fang Hongming gave a military salute at the same time. Before the warship arrived, they received the sailing plan of the fleet.

As before, as an important supply station on the way to the south, the city of jalanzha was almost the place where the warships had to stop.

After a military salute, Yue Yun said, "if you have to work hard again, you won't need coal this time. Fresh water, vegetables and fruits are the same as before."

"No problem, general." Liu Xinhong said that he immediately called the soldiers to the warehouse to carry the supplies.

Yue Yun nodded with satisfaction, then he looked at the scarred battlefield with great interest and said: "it seems that the battle that day was not easy."

Fang Hongming said: "it's true that the Dutch have premeditated, and although they are not as easy to load as Han style rifles, the difference in power is not very big, and the threat to the soldiers is still great.""Indeed, the air tightness of the rifles still has an advantage. Liu Chen, this attack on Manila and yageda should not be taken lightly." Yue Yun reminds a way.

Fang Hongming was deeply touched. He said: "soldiers used to fight with barbarians, businessmen, Parliament and Japan. When they were fighting, they didn't think enough about the threat they faced. So at the beginning, the casualties were not small. When they got back, they adapted and didn't dare to charge recklessly."

Liu Chen looked serious. During the development of the Empire in recent years, the European countries were not idle. Moreover, unlike the barbarians, these western countries attached no less importance to science than the Empire, and accepted new things very quickly.

According to the information they got from the Prussians, after Europe mastered the secret of conical bullets, the old lead bullets were being eliminated in large quantities and new ones were gradually used.

"Don't worry, I learned the standard of the British when I was in Singapore. They are not in the same level as the Japanese and Korean soldiers. I will be cautious."

Yue Yun showed a satisfied look, he said: "that's good, when the Nanyang affair is over, we will go to clean up the Japanese."

"Clean up the Japanese?" Liu Xinhong asked curiously, "didn't the Japanese state sign the letter of surrender?"

"Just as the emperor said, the letter of surrender is just a piece of paper. The most important thing is the degree of implementation. The current chaos of the Japanese nation makes the emperor very unhappy. During this period, he has been playing hard to get to see what they can do."

Said here, Yue Yun suddenly stopped talking, he said: "don't mention this, rest here tonight, set sail tomorrow."
