Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

Chapter 640: Fifteen. Preface (1)

"This is the whole process?"

Putting the report down, Brenhill looked incredible.

The "sea battle" in the Arctic Sea, which is so small that it can be put in your pocket, is too dramatic, and the process is full of accidents. It looks more like a chaotic street fight. For the Defense Force, which emphasizes prior investigations, detailed data, careful evaluation, careful planning, and thorough execution, this drama really makes them feel very against.

Putting down the gold wire glasses and pressing the bridge of the nose, after the soreness of her eyes faded, she asked:

"I still don't understand."

"York?"

After sipping the lipstick tea, Li Lin answered.

It's easy to understand that without the overturn of the York, the situation will not deteriorate into a night battle, and the current situation will not become a dangerous situation that is triggered.

Why would a thousand-ton ship be sunk by a small boat? This problem has plagued many people, including Brunn Hill.

"With regard to the responsibility for the sinking of the York, in addition to the small part that Colonel Kolchak must bear, a large part is due to the Royal Navy of Albion."

"Albion people themselves?"

"Three factors."

Li Lin opened the drawer and took out a few documents on the table.

"The wrong requirements at the design stage, the wrong handling by the captains and rookies, and the indifference to safe operations."

The launch of the York was completed a month ago, and its construction process was less than a month. This cruiser only built this one. From the point of view of weapon configuration and ship design, it has a strong experimental nature.

Sharp bottom. Extended flying shear bow, dense gun positions. Hidden upper deck guns, enlarged flying beast corrals-the entire Albian version of a Tone-class air cruiser, even the original design is exactly the same, all for drilling the arms limitation treaty loopholes, to achieve maximum combat effectiveness in limited tonnage At the same time, carry out technical trials and reserves.

This one-sided pursuit of combat effectiveness, which is too harsh on the design requirements, will inevitably lead to a decrease in the habitability of warships and insufficient safety redundancy. Take the York as an example, in order to reduce underwater resistance and increase speed. The length-to-height ratio of the hull is elongated, and the wide bottom of the hull is designed to be sharper in order to reduce the underwater resistance. At the same time, the superstructure was enlarged to accommodate the expanded flying beast corral and upper deck guns. After one or two trips, the center of gravity of the ship becomes quite high, and the side of the ship will almost stick to the water surface when making sharp turns.

"So when the ecstasy hits. The correct response of the York should be to fine-tune the course, even if there is scratching, the ecstasy is the most damaged?"

Brenhill suddenly realized that Li Lin shook the tea cup and a wry smile appeared.

"The veteran captain will do that, but the York and Karen are both rookies. Well, it was still in the stage of running in with the battleship. It is still a bit difficult for them to make the right decision."

It is also for this reason that after the sinking of the York, the Karen immediately made another mistake-firing on the Ego.

Speaking of which, it is not all about the captain of the Karen. First, there is no so-called mutual trust between humans and orcs. Once there is a gun and fire, the thought in his mind must be to kill the other party. Secondly, the Albian people who are used to the waves cannot accept the fact that they are being abused by furry bears, and they must retaliate anyway. As a result, they gave up the last chance to communicate and replaced the mouth cannon with a cannon to speak.

So far, the two cruisers have made a lot of mistakes, but it is not too terrible. If they just sink the forget-me-not, things can still stop here. But the stupid moves of Albion’s Admiralty broke out in unexpected ways at this time.

Firepower comes first.

This is the consistent belief of the Albion Navy. In order to maintain the maximum shot while maintaining a long enough combat time, the Albians increased the amount of ammunition carried by the warship, each artillery increased the ammunition reserve by 50%, and these extra shells He and gunpowder barrels were piled up on both sides of the cabin channel and on the upper deck, and even a barrel of gunpowder was stuffed under the captain’s cabin table. For the convenience of use, all the ammunition did not take any protective measures.

It is conceivable that as long as a Mars, the entire ship will soon become a big firecracker.

In fact, if it were not for the crew of the Karen desperately to clean up the propellant and shells on the upper deck in the shortest time, the ending of the Karen would not be the sinking of mines, but the death of the ammunition. Conversely, without these dangerous actions, the entire upper deck became chaotic and the flying beast was frightened and fled. With the ship-borne Mantikol alone, the Karen can completely capture the ecstasy, instead of following the minefield all the way.

"It's unbelievable."

"It's not difficult to understand that even if the Albion people anticipate this risk, they will not take protective measures against ammunition. A fleet without opponents at sea will be so arrogant and arrogant. If I guess right, even if After investigating this fatal flaw, they will continue to ignore it or cover up this fact with other reasons."

This kind of thing is not difficult to understand. If he admits that Wang Jiajun’s violation of safety operations, officers, especially the fleet commanders and captains who encourage such behavior will be accused by the public. Wang Jiajun will worry that the morale of the fleet will be hit, and then the will to fight will be reduced. There is also a precious tradition cherished—the dauntless spirit of the Wang Family Navy, the perseverance and desperation to lose the will to attack.

So the black pot can only be backed by the ship design department.

Public opinion will not condemn the design department, nor do they worry about punishment, as long as it is not involved in factional struggles-such as the case of the famous Hiraga of the old Japanese Imperial Navy Shipbuilding Headquarters and the battle between Kikuo Fujimoto, engineers can take Responsibility shirks to various objective factors: the hard-line provisions of the arms limitation treaty, the technical limitations, the stretched shipbuilding funds... As long as you want to find them, the reasons are never lacking, and they are very reasonable.

In the end, it was only the Albian sailors who served on the warships. Of course, they were also responsible for this.

"It's unfortunate."

Brenhill exhaled and frowned slightly.

After a short period of sympathy, she quickly burst into uncontrollable anger and disgust at the dead ghosts.

that's too bad.

Because of these dead ghosts, the already reluctant war plan is already in jeopardy.

Due to the health problems of His Majesty the Tsar, the principality, which is as bad as his old man, is gradually losing the ability to suppress the human camp, and the long-term strategy originally formulated by Alfheim was forced to be substantially revised. That time, they already felt a strong sense of crisis. This time, the General Staff wanted to take the bodies of the Albians and strangle them again.

"The armament of the human camp has been updated much faster than the Principality, and the army has adapted to new weapons faster than the Principality Army."

Take a page from the folder, hand it to Li Lin, and Brunn Hill repeats the complaint.

"The troops in the army of the Principality have been protesting one after another, accusing the company of weapons sold for quality problems and inconvenient to use."

By the end of these words, her face was hard to look at.

According to the investigation by the after-sales support department, the quality of all weapons is no problem, and they can still be used normally after simple maintenance. Every problem encountered by the soldiers of the Principality is caused by themselves. Because of their laziness and the high illiteracy rate in the army, the bears are neither, nor lazy to maintain their weapons, let alone repair. As a result, a large number of weapons were damaged and scrapped.

The troubles created by the bears not only affect their own combat effectiveness, but also indirectly affect the strategic planning of the elf camp, plus those unfounded accusations...Bren Hill's mood is getting worse.

"It seems that our stuffed friends need some simpler and more effective weapons."

Not a Mosin Nagan rifle, even a "backward" bolt-action rifle, Li Lin is willing to have one that flows into the hands of any party outside the elf camp. What's more, once the war broke out, the Principality will inevitably recruit reserve personnel from the rear with the consumption of frontline forces. For those who left the farm for the first time, just put on military uniforms, replaced the dung fork with an axe, mace, or rifle, and the lack of training for recruit eggs, whether they can use Mosin Nagan smoothly is a question. maintenance? service? They will think it is something to eat.

There is no way to make up for this situation, such as mixed recruits and veterans, veterans shot in front, veterans followed with bullets, when veterans were killed, recruits picked up their guns and continued to charge until they were enemies or behind them The Okrana War Team was killed...

But even so, the gray animals cannot consume indefinitely. Gradually, their dissatisfaction with the tsar and the Principality system will accumulate more and more, and finally evolve into a kind of "revolution" plague, burying the tsar and the entire Principality- — This is also not what Yalfheim would like to see.

However, Li Lin does not plan to mass-produce muskets. It uses far more than the actual equipment and reserve requirements to satisfy the principality soldiers who are used to **** forks. It wastes time and money, and the effect is not necessarily good.~www.wuxiaspot.com~ So, There must be a simple and reliable weapon that is powerful enough, cheap, and abundant in quantity. Relying on this weapon, the bears can withstand the loss, and make the humans retreat.

The navy of the Principality already had such weapons. They were very satisfied with the performance of the anchor mine. They added a large number of orders, and sent a delegation headed by Colonel Golchak to be stationed near the factory to speed up the quality inspection and delivery process of the mine. The Army of the Principality also made a request for the "land-based anchor mine", and also noted "the more the better, the sooner the better."

"Contact Prokhorovka's factory and let them sort out the anti-infantry mines and mine jumps stored in the warehouse, ready to ship to the Principality Army, and--"

Shaking the red tea juice in the cup, Li Lin's face showed a customary elegant smile.

"Notify the woodware factory in Agen Toraton to prepare them for mass production of artificial limbs, crutches, stretchers and wheelchairs."

Soon, many people will need these things. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Please read it for mobile users.)
