The Rise of the Empire

Shortly after Taranto was attacked, before the Italians in the port of Taranto contacted Duke Abziru's fleet by telegram, the Duke's fleet had formed a tendency to encircle the decoy ships. \u003c/p\u003e"The power system of this battleship is really good and terrifying! I guess its speed has reached 23 knots?!" Duke Abziru looked at the target ship that was once again distanced from him in the distance, and some said in surprise. \u003c/p\u003eHow could he not be surprised? His flagship, the battleship Brin, was designed to reach a speed of around 20 knots. This time, in order to achieve a faster speed, Duke Abziru limited the load of the battleship and equipped more stokers to fight the long-distance race. In order to win the battle, lighten the load to speed up, and more manpower can keep the warship sailing at high speed for a long time. After all, chain furnaces are only used on large merchant ships now, and the boiler fuel is completely dependent on human flesh! \u003c/p\u003eAt this time, Major Frederick, who once again threw off his opponent, was also having a hard time. The Italians were chasing too closely, and they did everything they could to chase and block them! First, a squadron of 3 battleships and 1 cruiser followed behind, and then to the north was another fleet. With the cooperation of torpedo boats, these two fleets tried their best to compress themselves towards the coastline. \u003c/p\u003eMoreover, this ship has sailed at full speed for more than 200 nautical miles. The 10 hours of high-speed sailing has already made this warship exhausted. What's more, people can't stand it! Engaging in coal filling operations in high-temperature boiler bunkers will cause great damage to personnel, high temperature and high humidity and the air is full of dust. More than 20 firemen have been shocked, and now all the cooks have gone down to be firemen. If it happens after a while, I am afraid that Major Frederick will also take the lead in swinging the shovel! \u003c/p\u003eAlthough it was very difficult, the decoy ship K successfully ran out of the Italians' siege again and again. But it is a pity that manpower is exhausted after all. After fighting all night, the Italian fleet surrounded them again! \u003c/p\u003e"It seems that I really can't escape this time!" Frederick said in despair looking at the situation in front of him. The coastline has extended to the northeast. The opponent can intercept them in advance, and there are at least a dozen torpedo boats waiting for the opportunity to launch lightning strikes, and more and more torpedo boats are appearing on the sea. \u003c/p\u003eWhen it was dark, the Italian captain did not dare to rashly launch an attack on the 10,000-ton armored cruiser with a bad reputation, but now, let alone the dawn, the number of Italian torpedo boats has also increased. As the saying goes, there are more ants It can also kill an elephant. In the absence of a frigate, the major commanded a real Mainz-class armored cruiser. Faced with the siege of so many warships, the calf will still be cramped. \u003c/p\u003e"The arrangement of the Italians is still very good. If General Scheer really breaks through from **** Bay, then his probability of success is no more than 30%!" Afterwards, Major Frederick The report said so. \u003c/p\u003e There are not only Germans and Italians in this sea area. When the fleets of both sides passed the waters near Malta, the Italian fleet stationed there immediately came out to watch. For example, the flagship of the British Mediterranean Fleet, the HMS Renown, appeared in Major Frederick's sight under the leadership of Captain Wells. \u003c/p\u003e"This is definitely not the cruiser Prince Albert! The distance between the two cannons in the middle of the hull of this battleship is obviously too small. If it is rotated, the diagonal field of fire is so small that it is impossible to be a German cruiser!" After looking at it carefully for a while, I once boarded the Mainz-class armored cruiser and observed it myself for 2 days,

Captain Wells, who was able to make a high-definition large-scale model from memory, soon realized that something was wrong... \u003c/p\u003e"The position of the chimney of this battleship seems to be a bit wrong. Of course, the most shocking thing is that its speed is too fast. Our current speed is 20 knots, while the opponent's visual speed can exceed 23 knots! "A British military officer next to him also discovered the problem and said. \u003c/p\u003e"This must be a bait! The Italians spent a whole night chasing and intercepting them, but I didn't expect this to be the result! Haha, what an irony!" Captain Wells was taken aback for a moment, and soon figured out what was going on. key! The Italians have fallen into the trick of turning the tiger away from the mountain! However, the ship in front of me is indeed very sophisticated. Judging from the tonnage, it is estimated to be tens of thousands of tons. How can it be so fast? This is definitely the use of new technology, proper black technology! \u003c/p\u003eAnd just when Captain Wells discovered that there was a problem with the German warship in front of him, the Italians' siege and interception also entered the final juncture. Launch a lightning strike! \u003c/p\u003e"Okay, our mission has been completed, and we can show our identity!" Major Frederick let out a sigh of relief after reading the information sent by Major General Scheer. His mission was finally completed, and Scheer The Er fleet has left the Gulf of Taranto. This means that even if the Italian fleet turns around to chase now, it will definitely be too late! \u003c/p\u003e"The Italians launched a lightning strike!" At this moment, the news that a torpedo was found on the port side made Frederick's heart tighten! You know, the K decoy boat doesn't even have a machine gun! Facing the torpedo boat is also at the mercy of others, and this is still a power system test ship. If it is lost, the German Navy will be heartbroken! \u003c/p\u003e"We are the test ship of the German High Seas Fleet, don't attack!" When the Italians were about to launch a lightning strike again, a sharp-eyed Italian officer saw the semaphore issued by the other party for the first time, so he ordered his torpedo boats The formation stopped attacking, but not all the Italians reacted. The other 3 torpedo boats fired 5 torpedoes, but they were all avoided by the high-speed mobile attack ship K! \u003c/p\u003eK The bait boat did not fly the flag of any country, so not everyone discovered the semaphore in a hurry, but soon, when the German Navy flag was raised on the mast, all Italians felt Hum! \u003c/p\u003eAt this moment, the telegram from the Port of Taranto was finally delivered to Duke Abziru. After seeing the content of the telegram, the Duke only felt a buzzing in his head, and a chill rushed up his spine! "The Turkish fleet has passed?" He didn't believe the content of the intelligence. "Then what is in front of us? Sink it for me! Sink it!" The Duke ordered like a mad tiger! \u003c/p\u003eThe second one is here~~~! Ask for a subscription\u003c/a\u003e~~~! \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e
