One Thousand Ninety One Knock
On the Atlantic Ocean, on the deck washed by the salty wet cold sea water, a group of sailors are routinely washing the wooden deck with a mop. Below these logs is the cold steel armor, and then there are cabins for various purposes, and then there are thicker armor, ammunition depots and oil depots.
This is the sea giant built in the history of mankind, and it can be regarded as a great product of civilization and wisdom. Tens of thousands of tons of steel are floating on the sea, carrying a series of flammable and explosive items such as fuel shells. This huge battleship is the most powerful battleship of the German Navy, the battleship Admiral Raeder.
Although the battleship Yamato of the Japanese Navy has been launched, the throne of the world's largest battleship has changed hands. But this battleship can still be said to be one of the most powerful battleships at sea, and it can compete with any opponent without any suspense.
This battleship has eight 380mm caliber giant artillery, although it is much smaller than the nine 460mm caliber heavy artillery equipped on the Yamato, but it has a higher rate of fire and more terrifying shooting accuracy. It has to be said that the Germans are indeed extremely proficient in machinery, and they have played with machinery to an unattainable level.
Cooperating with the modified automatic loading machine, these eight 380mm caliber guns can shoot a jaw-dropping rate of fire, which is faster than its sister ship, the villain serving in the UK.
The new captain stood on the bridge of the battleship with his hands behind his back with a hint of pride. As a newly trained young ship commander, he is used to not looking for distant targets with his own eyes. Because this battleship is installed at a higher position with the most advanced radar system in the world, which can help this powerful sea fortress to detect any threatening targets in advance.
"Long live the head of state! The news just came that the 17th destroyer reconnaissance fleet did not find the enemy's sea targets." An officer in the telegraph room walked to the side of the captain, and after standing at attention, he reported the contents of the telegram under his arm. Everyone on this battleship is proud, and each of them is proud to serve on a battleship named after an active naval admiral.
"Gentlemen, our purpose of coming here is actually very simple...we want to tell the British, we." The captain stood in his position loudly and said to everyone on the bridge: "I haven't figured out what to use yet. How to tell them, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Sir! We don't have any good solutions, but the 380mm cannons are probably the loudest on our ship. You can use them to try." The artillery commander smiled and teased suggested in a tone of voice.
The new captain nodded, of course he deliberately asked his subordinates in such a teasing tone. This time, he was ordered to command a fleet with the battleship Admiral Raeder as the flagship, and sailed to the vicinity of Iceland to show off its might.
This time their purpose is actually very simple,
It is to break the embarrassing positioning of the German naval fleet as "the existence of the navy", and develop the future German navy into a powerful navy with global deployment and offensive posture.
"Long live the head of state! The fleet's 10-degree turn to the right has been completed, and its course is 10 degrees due east by south, 17 nautical miles away from Iceland." The sailor, holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands, reported the location of the battleship loudly, his eyes fixed on Looking at the distant sea in front of the battleship, the waters of the Atlantic Ocean are still turbulent.
The bridge of the battleship has always been protected by heavy armor, but now the bridge protected by the heavy armor is no longer the command center of the battleship. Because Jingui's electronic equipment radar is also installed here, as well as other important equipment, such as the enemy's radar wave speed warning system, are also installed here.
"Long live the head of state! General! You have reached the best artillery position, and you can order to fire." The colonel in charge of the artillery stood in his position with his hands behind his back, and loudly reported the readiness of all the artillery on the battleship.
The sharp bow cut through the sea water, and on the central axis of the 40,000-ton battleship, four turrets protected by heavy armor were already pointing to the port side of the battleship. The 8 slender and huge artillery barrels bumped up and down with the ups and downs of the battleship, and the black muzzle looked so eerie.
"Then, knock on the door and tell the people who live here that a guest is coming." The captain stood at his position, looking through the window at the distant sea, the small island that was not much different from the black spot, With a cold tone, he spoke his order slowly.
The artillery commander who stood upright and stood on the position repeated the captain's order, with the same mechanical and procedural tone, and gave the order to fire to the messenger: "All main guns, fire at intervals, shoot!"
The officer standing beside him also stood upright, turned his head slightly after hearing the order, and repeated the order to the megaphone. A few seconds later, the first twin-mounted main gun not far in front of the battleship bridge spewed out bright flames. The entire battleship trembled slightly with this burst of light, and then a deafening sound came into the command room through the hatch.
Those who have not heard the majestic roar of the 380mm main gun will not think how terrifying it is. These guns fired one after another at slight intervals, hitting the heavy shells to the distant Icelandic island . They flew over great distances, and then fell on the Grindavik area, destroying a few buildings there, as well as the field airfield where the Allied forces had been bombed and devastated.
After only a short time interval, the silent Grindavik was devastated. A shell fell on the side of the street, but the powerful explosion immediately engulfed the entire street. The street lamp was thrown into the air by a powerful force, stones and rubble mixed with shrapnel flew around, embedded in the outer walls of the surrounding buildings.
The earth-shattering sound caused by this shell has not stopped, and another shell sings in harmony. The huge explosion once again set off thick black smoke that covered the sky and the sun. The explosion lifted the roof of one building and flung it towards the wall of another building.
Here comes the Germans, stronger, more confident, and more confident than ever. When they came, they were no longer as silent as submarine warfare, but stood directly at the door of the British with a thunderous momentum. This time they switched places with Britain, which had ruled the world's oceans for a hundred years, and this time they switched places with Britain during the last war.
They are no longer huddled in their own ports, relying on coastal defense artillery to barely support the enemy's blockade; they are no longer like ostriches, squatting in their own ports to wait for the end of the war; At the end of the day, he sent out his own powerful battleship, which sank helplessly in the enemy's port.
"Listen, the cannon is knocking on the door, one sound at a time, in our hearts! It is also in the hearts of the enemy!" Inside the beautiful bridge of the battleship Admiral Raeder, the captain standing in his position puts his hands behind his back. He exclaimed loudly. The head of state endowed the German navy with a more powerful soul, which made every officer of the German navy yearn for something called victory.
With this exclamation, the second round of shelling began. The loaded giant artillery fired violently again, and another round of shells flew to the distant sea level, towards the small island full of volcanoes.
At this moment, in the British naval base in Iceland, the King of England is asking his men what happened. Their early warning system was destroyed when the German bombers bombed Iceland, so now they react very slowly to the German attack.
"General Dowding has just verified the news, it is not a German bomber! The lookout post has also confirmed that they did not see the German bomber appearing over Iceland." An old minister explained the current situation to the panic-stricken His Majesty the King. , Explosions came one after another in the distance, which made the minister equally terrified.
Standing next to him was a senior official of the Royal Navy. At this time, he knew that he could not escape the king's inquiry, so he stood up and explained bravely: "This may be the shelling of the German Navy. They have battleships." , so it may be the sound of their battleships shelling our towns like Grindavik."
"Bombardment? What about our navy? The German navy can already bombard my place with impunity, but our navy cannot effectively intercept and counterattack. This is really the worst news I have heard." Although the face The expression on his face showed that His Majesty the King was a little flustered, but the good etiquette education he had received made his words very tactful.
"The main force of our navy has just returned to the east coast of the United States. Many ships need to be repaired in Canada, and a few ships must be repaired in American shipyards to continue sailing..." the admiral said while wiping the sweat from his forehead. When the veteran player Dudley Pound is away, the burden he has to bear is indeed not light.
"Damn it! Our air force can't take off to face the enemy, but our navy was transferred to the South Atlantic Ocean for nothing because of a stupid plan." Before the king could speak, a minister beside him complained quietly: "Now let a German battleship come to us to show off its might."
"Create a plan to either send us back to Canada from this damn base, or let our warships stop what happened today." The king heard this complaint, but did not scold him. After he finished this sentence, he led the people out of the command room. Mobile users please visit
