Chapter 1298 Steel Fleet

At the same time, different from being temporarily trapped in a calm land battlefield due to the influence of the seasonal climate, the roar of intensive artillery fire directly tore this calm in a vast sea area in the south of this battlefield. Smash!

Breaking through the waves on the sea, a steel battleship is moving fast while maintaining its speed.

The single-longitudinal formation quickly spread out, and on the side of the hull, the naval guns constantly adjusted their attack positions, and then followed the order and fired in unison.

The dazzling fire was instantly connected, and in the continuous roar of artillery shelling, the tyrannical shelling firepower swept directly towards the enemy fleet on the distant sea!

There is no doubt that on this vast ocean, the two steel fleets of the enemy and the enemy have already met at this moment.

Almost at the moment of the first face-to-face encounter, the commanders of the two fleets who were on a surprise mission had already clearly realized that only one of their two fleets could leave, otherwise this surprise mission would definitely fail!

This situation, I am afraid that neither Luo Ji nor Charlie Krumbell expected.

The two players can almost be said to have dispatched their own maritime fleets at the same time as the war began, trying to bypass and raid the coastal cities of the enemy players.

And here, I have to mention that the territory of the three Europa players, only Charlie Krumbel's territory is connected to the ocean, in other words, only he has sea power among the three players!

The Yangtze Fleet, led by Yuan Xi, was obviously the first to encounter an opponent of the same level.

However, as a top-level admiral, Yuan Xi's face did not show much panic.

What are you kidding? In the Yangtze River Basin, he has even faced the Hydra, which is beyond common sense, and the ordinary steel fleet is not enough to make him mess up.

Yuan Xi, who was on the flagship, gave orders calmly.

The huge caliber main gun of the battleship is slowly turning, and it is separated by a super long range.

Including the flagship Yangtze River, the number of battleships in the Yangtze River Fleet was eight. Obviously, after that, when the financial situation stabilized, Luo Ji expanded his naval power.

But that time, he stopped building battleships in a frenzied manner. He only built three new battleships, and made eight of them. He felt that the numbers were auspicious. Then, considering the possible future sea expeditions, he built them again. Six supply ships of sufficient size are dedicated to delivering supplies and supplies to the Yangtze Fleet.

Apart from that, he was mainly building destroyers.

After all, compared with battleships, destroyers are currently much cheaper to build and maintain.

Moreover, after carrying torpedo weapons, the threat of destroyers in naval battles cannot be underestimated, and it has a very good price/performance ratio.

Now let's look at Charlie Krumbel's steel fleet. The opponent is undoubtedly implementing the typical big ship and giant artillery doctrine. After all, in this sea without aircraft carriers, battleships are the top units of naval warfare!

Although when he first started to develop naval combat power, he definitely did not have the same manufacturing efficiency as Luo Ji's 'making dumplings', but after all, he has developed for a longer time. Considering the country's financial problems, even if it is five or six years to build one. The number of battleships definitely surpassed the Yangtze Fleet, reaching fourteen.

Not to mention other small and medium-sized warships for the time being, as a large-scale warship, this battleship is a money-burning thing.

Among them, when he had the largest number of battleships, it had reached a total of thirty-one, not to mention the number of other small and medium-sized battleships.

Then, he quickly discovered a problem, that is, it was useless for him to build so many battleships!

This side is different from the real world.

In the real world, all the great powers of various continents are crowded into one world, which must be to ensure their own naval combat power. After all, this is an important deterrent. Therefore, the number and tonnage of warships are naturally crucial.

However, in this world, the player's country itself is the strongest, and there are basically no other maritime threats.

And when fighting other players, it's definitely more army units, not navy units.

This directly led to the fact that the huge fleet in the hands of Charlie Krumbel had little use.

On weekdays, in addition to naval combat training, it is usually docked in ports and docks to eat ashes...

For this reason, every once in a while, he has to pay a maintenance fee that is so expensive that it will make people spit out old blood.

At the beginning, Charlie Krumbell naturally had a kind of "self-made battleship, even if we cry, we must maintain it to the end!" ' mentality, paying huge maintenance bills on a regular basis until his country's first fiscal crisis...

At that time, he was engaged in a wave of urban development and had to accept the fact that he was financially tight and was a little unable to continue to maintain this huge fleet.

That is, from then on, he began to dismantle these 'gold burning machines'.

After several other financial problems, there were only fourteen battleships left in the hands of Charlie Klumbel.

According to the calculations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, this is a relatively safe figure for their current state financial situation.

After the start of this all-out war, Charlie Krumbell, who confirmed the surrounding situation, can be said to have been pleasantly surprised when he learned that there was a large sea area.

He hurriedly pulled out his own maritime fleet that only knew how to spend money and had not worked seriously for many years.

And formulated a plan for a surprise attack at sea, as his trump card!

At that time, his land army and sea fleet launched an offensive at the same time, and he didn't believe that he couldn't kill this Celestial player.

However, at this time, Charlie Krumbell would never have imagined that his trump card would have collided with Luo Ji's Yangtze River fleet...

The firefight at sea continued, and the enemy fleet with fourteen battleships was indeed more powerful than the Yangtze River fleet with only eight battleships.

However, in the naval battle, it is not only who has more naval guns and more fierce firepower, but also technology is the decisive factor.

As a five-star top navy general, in addition to having the talent effect bonus of 'Admiral of the Navy', the silver-level naval combat skills that Luo Ji matched with him were definitely not good-looking.

This battle is undoubtedly the time for him to make achievements and show his value!
