Vol 22 Chapter 235: Lore

After Masahiro Matsumoto said that all the recovered wrecks or captive ships belonged to them, all the Japanese guild presidents jumped up in excitement.
After Matsumoto led these Japanese guilds to "deport" Chinese guilds led by our Frost Rose League, the most important thing these Japanese guild presidents wanted to do was to restore the original fleet. . Japan-style island nations do not exist inland or stand alone. The most important thing is that the natural resources are severely partial, and some things have a lot of output, but there are many things that are not found at all. This geographical environment determines that Japan is highly dependent on shipping. Japan without sea traffic can always be a small third-rate country. Of course, Japanese players are not willing to act as small third-rate countries. Therefore, they need shipping support, and smooth shipping is necessary. Big fleet to sustain.
However, the first thing we did before the Frost Rose Alliance invaded Japan with a large group of Chinese guilds was to completely destroy Japan's maritime power. Later, the Super Spy Program was launched, and the Japanese player leader Matsumoto was rebelled to become our Frost Rose Alliance, and under our operation, the security of the Japanese territory controlled by ours was passed to the hands of Matsumoto Masa. Players shaped a great national hero out. However, even though Masamoto Matsumoto brought these Japanese players back to Japan, Japan ’s maritime power has been struggling. The construction of warships is not just money. This also involves technical strength, production capacity, and basic resources. aspect.
Of course it's impossible to be as insignificant as the real world, but there are basic requirements. First of all. You have to have money to build a battleship? Who can help you build a ship without money? With money, you also need resources. In the game, you need to collect iron ore to build an armor. You can't change a ship out of thin air, right? In addition, the complexity of the battleship is not as many times as the armor. Iron ore is only a basic resource, and you need many other rare resources. The types of resources required by the large warships of our guild are basically more than 20,000, and their complexity is by no means as simple as imagined. This is why it is clear that players are people who have experienced the baptism of modern technology, but there are still wooden shells everywhere in the game. It's not that they don't know how powerful modern warships are, nor that they don't want to build them, but that they have no ability to build them. They cannot collect this resource alone.
Don't think that when our Frost Rose Alliance fights with other guilds, it is the state-of-the-art battleships that are fighting modern naval battles. I thought that the naval battles in the game were all modern naval battles. In fact, the reason why everyone feels this way is because they dare to confront us with the Frost Rose League. It must be a very good guild. So it is not surprising that people have ironclad ships. However, the fact is that most of the guilds are still using wooden sail warships as their main fleet group, and these guilds will also purchase some iron armored ships as the backbone of the guild fleet. This is the actual situation of maritime wars in guilds. There are not many guilds that can be used with such things as armored ships. Can build less yourself. There are only a few guilds that can build large iron ships.
Like in China. There are five guilds that can build modern iron armored warships. One is our Frost Rose Alliance, and the other is the Northern Alliance. The other three are three commercial guilds. They do not directly participate in the fighting, but have strong production capacity. However, these three guilds can only build warships of the light cruiser class at most. No matter how large, only we and the Northern Alliance can build. Among them, the Northern Alliance can build the standard battleship, and only the Frost Rose Alliance can build the super battleship. As for the small guild warships, they were basically purchased from our five guilds.
Because Japan relies on the sea, it has invested heavily in shipbuilding. Before it was occupied by us, there were about a dozen guilds in Japan that could build iron armored warships, of which three could build battleships and build large battleships. The number of berths is only one less than that in China, and it can be said that the production capacity is considerable.
However, after being occupied by us once and after Matsumoto Masatake took over to control these places again, the actual number of slipways dropped to less than one tenth of the original, and most of the rest were small slipways that could build battleships. There is only one berth left, and a large battleship cannot be built, only a small battleship can be built.
Now in Japan, although players have recharged and exchanged funds from outside to meet the needs of money, but the resources are not enough, the tens of thousands of resources are not even found. Even if they collect some, it is enough to hold a boat or two. This combat power There is not much difference between the presence and absence. As far as building capacity is concerned, there are only a few remaining on the slipway. Don't expect large-scale production even if the resources are sufficient. In the end, the technical strength may be the only part of Japan that has a bit of confidence. Because technical resources are mainly composed of technical materials and technicians, and these things can be taken away, although most of the country was occupied at the beginning, this part of Japan is actually not too much of a loss, so it is basically satisfied. demand. However, let alone say that there are only two problems solved. Even if three problems are solved, it is impossible to get a warship if there is only one. So, now I suddenly heard that captive or sunken warships can be obtained, and those Japanese guild presidents would be so excited.
Don't think that the sunken ship is useless, even if the ship is sunk, everything is still there. Some ships can be used directly as long as they are repaired to repair the holes. Even if they are completely blown up, they can be dismantled and recycled. Do n’t forget that Japan ’s most scarce resource is these, and these wrecks are equal to the proportion of resources that are allocated, and you can directly get back another ship with a little loss of resources. This is a good thing they can never think of.
and also. Aside from the captive ships, a large part of those sunken ships can be repaired and repaired. Ship repair and shipbuilding are different. They can be repaired as long as there is a dry dock. There is no need to occupy production. Slipway. There are actually some differences between the two. The production platform is more like an automated robot production line for automobile production. Although the shipbuilding in the game is assisted by some large machinery, it is basically equivalent to automation for players. The dock is actually just a humble plant, at best it is equivalent to a maintenance workshop. The technical content of the two is very different, so the Japanese shipyard was quickly repaired after the war. So far, only the one that can be used and the three are under construction.
Because Japan urgently needs to develop navy, and they just lack relevant resources, the meaning of the captives and shipwrecks of the US-Russian combined fleet in this battle is absolutely amazing. Of course, if it wasn't because Masaru Matsumoto is ours, I would definitely not give the Japanese such an opportunity. Because this will expand their war potential. Not good for us. However, because Masaru Matsumoto is ours, the strength of Japanese players is now about equal to our strength, which is the fundamental basis for the implementation of this plan.
After a period of excitement. Some of the Japanese guild presidents who have been fascinated by the good news have finally recovered their thinking skills. Then one of the quicker guys asked first. "But Matsumoto. Once these ships arrive in our hands, they will definitely enhance our strength, and our relationship with the Frost Rose Alliance ... you know. We have not always been very harmonious, and the Frost Rose Alliance has always been leak-proof. , This behavior that obviously strengthens our behavior, shouldn't they agree so easily? "
Matsumoto looked at the guy with a smile, instead of saying anything, he praised: "I thought you would only think about it after you go back. It seems that everyone's IQ is much higher than my estimation. Yes, these benefits It ’s not for nothing. You ’ll know what they are doing after playing with Frost Rose Alliance for so long. You do n’t have to pay for the benefits from Frost Rose Alliance. It ’s just trying to die. In fact, these ships this time It's just part of the deal. "
"Then what do we need to pay for these ships?" The Japanese guild president who spoke before wanted to ask seriously: "Frost Rose League will not lose money, so what they ask for should not be ordinary. Something, right? "
"Yes, it's nothing ordinary, but it doesn't matter to us."
"Is it something we can't use?" Asked the chairman of a Japanese guild quickly.
"It's not useless," Masamoto Matsumoto continued. "The trading target that Ziri and I talked about was three kinds of ore and more than thirty kinds of special biological materials. Here is a list, and I have printed a dozen copies. Take a look. Just as you know that Frost Rose Alliance will not easily provide the conditions for us to grow, we certainly do not want them to grow, so Zi Ri intends to use this batch of broken battleships after the war and other conditions as an opening transaction We are trading with us. We sell those things on the list, and Frost Rose Alliance provides us with all kinds of materials needed to build warships, and the two sides trade with each other at international standard transaction prices. "
"That sounds good." One Japanese guild president asked, "But you just said there are other projects?"
"Yes. The wreckage of the warships and the captives are only part of it. Ziri has promised me that they will also send engineering teams to build ten large slipways for us. Of course, we are responsible for the salaries and construction materials of these people, but You know the construction team of the Frost Rose League, and it is famous for its fast speed and good quality. So, as long as the agreement is reached and we wait for our own slipway to be completed one week later, we will have 13 large slipways and unlimited supply. All kinds of resources. At that time, we can start mass production of large warships. As long as we deploy them properly, it is not a problem to launch two battleships per week on each slipway. In this way, we can have 26 battleships in one week. We can recover to 80% of the pre-war level in two months. At least the battleships are. "
Listening to Masamoto Matsumoto's statement, the presidents of the Japanese guilds were surged by the blood of the beautiful prospects, and no one has raised any objections at all, and everyone is looking forward to what Masamoto Matsumoto said. Those things can quickly become reality.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost the same, Matsumoto Masahiro once again said, "Okay, everyone is clear now, let us start to take action. The benefits of Frost Rose Alliance are not so easy to take, there is no return if you don't pay. You guys Don't want to go home empty-handed? "
"Of course." The presidents of the surrounding Japanese guilds were already full of blood at this time. If they were forced by the situation to co-operate with the US-Russian fleet, they now really hope The U.S.-Russian combined fleet is completely settled, because as long as the U.S.-Russian combined fleet sinks, they will have the materials to build a new ship.
After returning to their fleet, the Japanese guild presidents spread what Matsumoto Masahiro said, and then the Japanese players below began to enthusiastically, and our guild side used this time to complete the final Replenishment, estimated time. The president of the Japanese guild should have completed the mission communication, and we began to officially issue departure instructions.
"Attention of all joint fleet ships, I am the of war, and now I have taken over the command of the fleet. Please execute all tactical instructions accurately for all battleships to ensure the victory of the battle. Then. Now I order, the entire ship will start, turn to azimuth 78, keep Speed ​​three. "
With the command of the army god. The entire fleet began to leave port. Then slowly accelerated to three knots. When everyone's speed reached three knots, the army once again asked the ships to accelerate to ten knots. After everyone's speed came up, the fleet began to accelerate collectively to 15 and 20 knots, and finally stabilized at 22 knots. The reason why it does not reach full speed is because some of the Japanese warships in the fleet have poor performance. The top speed is only 28 knots, and the extreme speed of 28 knots. If that speed is maintained, it is estimated that these ships will have burned their thrusters before the United States-Russia combined fleet appeared. Therefore, in order to ensure safety, we finally selected the slowest cruising speed of those warships, which is 22 knots. At this speed, all warships can ensure stable speed.
After the main fleet on our side left the port, the Mist Fleet was dragged by our warships and sailed. These ghost ships can only increase their speed when they find the enemy. At this time, their speed cannot keep up with us. Fleet, we had no choice but to be dragged forward by our warships. Fortunately, the displacement of the ghost ship was zero, and traction was just a meaning. Even dragging the entire fog fleet with a small sampan would not increase any resistance. Of course, the premise is that the Mist Fleet must cooperate with you to sail, and if they pull against you, they will generate considerable resistance.
After all the warships on our side departed from the port and sailed to an appropriate speed, the air warships that have been in the center of the fleet began to pressurize the solar furnace, and as the solar furnace gradually started, the players on the surrounding Japanese battleships brought with them Some envy and envy watched the draughts of these warships gradually decrease, and finally the bottom of the warships rose from the water surface, and slowly dropped out of the water into the air with the continuously falling seawater.
Several Japanese battleships were just a little in front of the Frost Rose. Those Japanese players on the ship almost watched the Frost Rose out of the water, and finally looked up at the huge flying battleship gradually moving away from them. When his head flew over and was covered by the huge shadow, one of the Japanese players couldn't help but said enviously: "When can we have such a spaceship?"
"It will, as long as we don't go the wrong way again." The guild leader next to this player patted his shoulder and said, "Did I tell you? Matsumoto Masawa has already talked to Zi Ri Well, as long as we are willing to open trade, Frost Rose Alliance will help us to build ten large shipyards. Soon we will have our own battleships. And we have got so much technology from the Russians before, now the guild The technicians here are still sorting. When all the parts are sorted, maybe they will find some technologies that can build flying warships. Wait until then ... "
"Wait until then! Now we can only build the surface ship before we talk about it," said a pretty beautiful lady beside the chairman. This woman is the president of another Japanese guild, but her guild is special. She does not have her own warship, so she took a ride. However, although she does not have her own warship, to say the sea battle, her guild is definitely one-for-one. Even the power under Masamoto Matsumoto ’s guild against this woman may not be able to win steadily, because This women's guild has the most sea beasts in Japan. All the players in her guild are good at driving sea beasts, so every time they go out to fight, a large group of sea monsters are dispatched, not even ships.
Of course. This kind of power is okay to deal with the general fleet. It will be okay to meet our Frost Rose Alliance ’s fleet. After all, there are also a lot of sea beasts in our Frost Rose Alliance. Besides, we also have aquatic creatures in the water, their Compared to those mythological beings, sea beasts are obviously not enough. But at least her position in Japan is very good, because before the collapse of the Japanese fleet, only they can continue to get back the resources they need from overseas. This is also the reason why the guild develops better. After all, the external traffic in Japan is almost completely cut off, but they can carry things inside. This exclusive sale is naturally super profitable.
With a look of envy and jealousy among players from Japan, our flying warships took off and pulled up. Then suddenly a bright white light aircraft was fired from one of the flying battleships. Immediately after the object was launched, it began to accelerate towards the front. It almost disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In fact, the special reconnaissance aircraft that just flew out has the same principle as the previous attack aircraft. However, unlike the attack aircraft, this aircraft is used for reconnaissance, so the structure is more extreme. This thing is not only without armor, but also without weapons. In addition to the power system and simple shell, there is only a detection pod that is slightly larger than the basketball. Nothing was installed because of what was unnecessary. So this thing weighs more than 100 kilograms. The ultimate flying speed is almost eighteen times the speed of sound. When necessary, you can even use the built-in magic device to make short-range jumps. The speed is absolutely unbeatable. of course. The investigative ability is this guy's strong point. Because the flying speed is super fast, this guy has almost no need to worry about being intercepted, even for beam weapons, you need to aim to hit it. The speed of this thing determines that no one can aim at it in motion at all, so this guy can be close to the enemy for reconnaissance and can transmit the reconnaissance intelligence back in real time.
The U.S.-Russian joint fleet quickly discovered the appearance of this thing, and those of our guilds who rode spears in the sky turned around and left after seeing this thing appeared. The emergence of such aircraft indicates that our large troops have arrived, so they no longer need to keep watching.
After the aircraft reached the U.S.-Russian joint fleet, it made a small deformation immediately. The front end of the aircraft, which looked a bit like an egg from below, suddenly spread apart and formed a shape similar to the word "mountain". The aerodynamic shape of this forward-swept wing aircraft is far better than any of the aircraft used before our guild. Because this guy has no combat needs, he can unscrupulously strengthen the aerodynamic shape, which naturally produces the best aerodynamic shape of the guild. Aircraft.
Immediately after the transformation was completed, the speed of this thing dropped, from the original eighteen times the speed of sound to eight times the speed of sound. Of course, this speed is still scary, and this thing not only keeps the amazing high speed of eight times the speed of sound, but also scatters around the opposing fleet. The kind of beam weapons over the Paladin and Russian anti-aircraft guns fired and intercepted, but this thing almost ignored all attacks, flying around the fleet at a terrible speed, and sometimes even used a few meters from the sea surface. The distance between the two warships passed through, and this behavior was like a provocation. The icy banshee and the gun almost did not spit blood.
"Attention all units, what you see now is the real-time image taken by our reconnaissance device." The voice of the of war came from the communicator, and the three-dimensional image projected above the portable communicator obtained by the Japanese fleet battleships let those The Japanese players were amazed. This horrible investigative method made them understand why the previous naval battle was lost every time.
Of course, the God of War did not care what they thought, but continued: "Now pay attention to the warships that the Scout is surrounding. Please try to observe their weapon systems so that you can have a general understanding of the subsequent battles. Also, please note The formation of the opponent ’s fleet, the opponent will not dare to change positions after entering the fog, so we can calculate the distance between the opponent ’s warships based on the current fleet information. If I ca n’t provide you with accurate guidance information or because of some accidents You ca n’t receive my command. Please carry out extended shelling according to the current enemy fleet formation. It should be able to achieve the greatest tactical effect. "
During this time, God of War continuously introduced various arrangements and the handling of special circumstances. Anyway, the Japanese fleet personnel heard it straight. They did not expect that the command system on our side turned out to be this accurate. It was so accurate. It can be said that as long as it is not a fool, it can basically achieve the expected tactical goals according to these operations. .
As time passed, the distance between the two fleets kept getting closer, and we finally started to move.
"Attention all warships. Now start to adjust the sailing mode and enter the snake-like maneuvering state. Please move according to the guidance information you hear. Don't pay attention to the movement status of the warships around you. Each of your warships is independently commanded. It's normal for all movement states to be different. Don't think you have heard the wrong command. Now, please start the maneuver mode. "
By this time, the God of War no longer used universal broadcasting, but began to carry out separate precise command for each ship. This kind of thing is a trivial matter for the of war. After all, so many people came under command during the land battle. These battleships are large though. But a ship is an independent individual, and its command is not more complicated than commanding a group of people, and the number of ships in the fleet is much less than the number of people in land warfare. Therefore, it is actually quite easy for the of war.
The captains of the Japanese fleet listened to the constant reminders in the communicator how many degrees to turn left and how many degrees to turn, as well as telling them that the speed of the warship was faster or slower. The reason they are confused is because they are not sure why the army is so concerned about himself.
In fact, this situation has also happened to players in our guild before, because the of war is a computer, he can talk to tens of thousands of people at the same time without interference. But the problem is that humans ca n’t do this, and the of war is a player to the outside, so many people will always pay attention when they find that the of war is constantly prompting themselves what to do in the entire battle. As a result of my own wrong judgment, many people are wondering why the army gods are not paying attention and always pay special attention to themselves. And it was not until a long time after our guild players confirmed with each other that the War God was not actually paying attention to himself, but that one person was directing n people at the same time. As a result, many guild players have begun to say that the of war is actually not a player, but a special one, but we have not explained this point, and no one really asked me anyway.
Although some Japanese players have already taught this kind of personal command in the previous battle of Russia, most people in the navy actually do n’t know this, but even if they tried it once before Now, this time they still feel very uncomfortable. However, it feels like the coach is running behind you and instructing you what to do. To be honest, it feels safe. As long as you get used to this mode, you will find that this is the limit state of command. Of course, humans will never be able to do this command mode, let alone brains can't react. Even if you have that speed of thinking, how can you talk to tens of thousands of people at the same time with one mouth?
After the fleet entered the serpentine maneuver, the battleships of the Mist Fleet suddenly left the array, no longer towed by our warships, but started to advance independently. Of course, their speed was slow and there was no way to reach us. Go ahead. However, under the command of the of war, our fleet actually moved from the middle to the north and south, moving out of the north and south directions. Therefore, only the mist fleet is still sailing head-on with the US-Russian combined fleet. That's it.
According to plan, the Mist Fleet will approach the US-Russian Fleet from the front, and the Mist Fleet itself is always in the mist. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the U.S.-Russian Fleet to pose any threat to them outside the Mist. There were only a few shots in Mongolia, which did not have much practical significance.
Our main force will be divided into two parts and go to the northeast and southeast directions at an angle of forty-five degrees with the Mist Fleet route. When the U.S.-Russian Fleet and the Mist Fleet complete contact, our two fleets will be on the same longitude line as the U.S.-Russian Fleet, and will be located 120 km north of the U.S.-Russian fleet and south of the U.S. 120 kilometers away. After that, our two fleets will turn inwards and turn around in the same direction as the US-Russian combined fleet, and due to internal turns, our two fleets should be exactly 80 kilometers away from each other after the turn is over. Since then, our fleet has been closer to the US-Russian combined fleet until the distance has been shortened to 50 kilometers. At this distance, even the guns of the Japanese fleet should be able to get the ships of the US-Russian combined fleet. At this time, the fog fleet that has always been hidden near the US-Russian combined fleet will really start to attack the US-Russian combined fleet. Because in the fog they have a line-of-sight advantage. So as long as the Mist Fleet does not take the initiative, the US-Russian Fleet will definitely not be able to spot them in advance. Of course, they should know what this is the first time they enter the mist, but they are invisible or invisible. They know it is useless. As long as the mist fleet does not want to fight, they cannot take the initiative to fight back.
After the Misty Fleet and the U.S.-Russian Fleet begin to engage in a firefight, the tracking locators pre-installed on the Misty Fleet ships will take effect. These locators are equivalent to the enemy and friend identification signals, and the God of War can read the position information through our special equipment . Then erased the location of the Mist Fleet ship from the angle from which I dropped the ship. This way, we won't have accidental injuries unless we miss it. At the same time, the batch of positioning artillery shells previously supplied by the Mist Fleet will also start to work, this kind of shells only has a small amount of charge. Explosive force is very low. A large number of positioners are pre-installed inside. With the explosion, these magnetized locators will stick to enemy battleships, and the Mist fleet's own ship is a ghost ship. It is still wood and will not be sucked by the positioners. Therefore, these positioners will be scattered and adsorbed on the surface of enemy ships with the explosion. The signal collection equipment on our side can roughly trace the outline of the enemy ship by reading the position information of these locators. With these virtual outlines, our main force, that is, the two fleets located outside the fog You can directly bombard according to the shooting parameters provided by the of war.
The U.S.-Russian Fleet will of course know that we are nearby after being shelled, but as said before. Do they know what's the use? In the fog, the shelling came from both sides at the same time. The only judgment they could make was to know that we were near them, but there was no way to judge the distance and orientation. In this case, even if they fired indiscriminately, they were unlikely to hit us. Even if they occasionally hit a few shots of shit, it was not a problem for us at all, and we did not expect any damage in such a large-scale naval battle. Victory is normal even if a part of the warship is sunk, not to mention just a few shells.
Although this tactic has long been settled, what the Japanese fleet knows is to sail according to our requirements, and it is not clear about the specific arrangements. Therefore, when our two sub-fleets are at the same longitude as the US-Russian combined fleet, and When we started to turn inwards from both sides to catch up with the US-Russian joint fleet and sail side by side, those Japanese players finally took in the cold air and began to marvel that our plan was so perfect.
"My God! This is actually planned in advance!" A captain of the Japanese guild looked at the fleet position information projected above the communicator and couldn't help but exclaimed, in the middle of the two loose green dots There is a large gray area ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This is the fog zone, and now everyone knows that the US-Russian combined fleet has drilled into it. As for what will happen next, there is basically no need to guess.
As for why the U.S.-Russian joint fleet had to dig into the mist ... this question is actually a very good answer. The US-Russian combined fleet is forcing us to make a decisive battle, so they need to sail to our country's offshore for a moment. Although the fog of this large fleet of fog fleets knows that there are problems at first glance, the problem is that they cannot wait. If you bypass this fog, the delay time is inestimable, and the fog was clearly directed at them before, and they also know that we will have a ghost fleet, so they probably know that they are around However, instead of wasting time, it is better to rush directly, anyway, the combat effectiveness of the Mist Fleet itself is not too exaggerated. Unfortunately, they did not expect that the Mist Fleet was just the first wave, and our main force was waiting for them outside the Mist.
"We are already in place, can we start?" After the sub-fleet turned, the King of Crash notified me with a communicator, because I was not on the Frost Rose or Eternal, but on On the ghost ship of the misty fleet. My high-end combat power is not suitable for sitting in the rear to command. There is a of war. After the tactics are arranged, there is no need to participate in the command. The remaining things can be done, and of course I have to go to the front to enjoy it. Play my destructive power.
"Received, the battle begins." (To be continued ...)
