Blackstone Code

The roar of naval guns has never been so sweet!

From the lowest level sailor to the captain's cabin on the bridge, everyone is immersed in the rhythm of the roaring gunfire.

After many years, Gaevra's warships can finally roar on the sea again!

A burst of pride from the bone marrow began to spread outwards, and people became more focused.

Pride is a powerful force, inner strength, which can help people build strong self-confidence, and this is also the secret of Gaevra's navy that has been crossing the sea for many years!

When your inner strength is strong enough, you can create miracles!

Countless plumes of smoke rose up from the distant coast in more than ten seconds. Faintly, the area being bombarded seemed to be shaking the earth!

This is Gefra's ultimate force deterrence against countries with coastlines!

It takes a long time to build a port, but it only takes one reload to destroy it!

The breech was pulled open, the huge shells were ejected, and a new round of shells was loaded. After recalibrating the coordinates, the flagman waved the flag vigorously.

The hull of the ship shook slightly, disrupting the rhythm of the waves. The air waves after the roar made the sailors almost unsteady!

The coastal ports were bombarded again!

Just for these two shellings, it will take at least half a year to a year to repair this place.

The planes in the sky were still trying to break through the fire blockade, and a group of planes appeared again in the distance.

These aircraft seemed different from those trying to break through, and the lookouts quickly notified the main ship.

The commander observed the aircraft through the highest magnification telescope, and he also showed a puzzled expression.

At present, the mainstream aircraft in the world adopt the method of hanging inside the ammunition. Whether it is a bomb or something else, if it is placed outside the fuselage, it is not impossible, but it will obviously slow down the flight speed.

And when performing some flight movements, it causes instability of the fuselage.

Placing it in the cabin can reduce the occurrence of various accidents.

But these planes are different. The huge thing hanging under the fuselage looks... a little strange.

It's not like an ordinary aerial bomb.

Gaevra's Air Force Minister took advantage of his good relationship with the federation to visit the "Flight Research Institute", the most advanced "flight institute" in the federal aviation industry. Among the weapons on display were some unused bombs.

Like a giant bomb codenamed Tamer!

But no matter how these bombs change, their appearance does not change much, and experts from the Imperial Academy also admit this.

The stable shape helps the bomb to land accurately around the target when it falls. The best way is to make the head slightly heavier.

But the bombs hanging from the planes in front of me seemed... a little different. Their shapes were too symmetrical, at least that's how it looked through the telescope!

"They lowered the altitude!"

Some officers exclaimed in a low voice. Those planes were actually still far away from the fleet, but they had lowered their altitude early and seemed to be not much higher than the ships.

This is surprising!

You know, at such a height, the lethality of anti-aircraft guns will be able to tear apart the fuselages of these aircraft in an instant. Why do they do this?

The commander didn't quite understand, but he knew that no matter what, these planes should not be allowed to get too close to the fleet.

Then he picked up the intercom and asked to free up some firepower to prevent these planes from getting too close to the battleship!

The battle proceeds far faster and more shockingly than words can convey.

A large number of aircraft flew over almost close to the sea. Seeing that they had entered the range, the anti-aircraft guns began to spit fire, and the machine shells were fired one after another and immediately disrupted the formation of the low-flying aircraft.

It did stop some planes from coming over, but it couldn't stop all of them.

If anti-aircraft guns were so effective, aircraft would not be a separate service in each country.

When a dozen aircraft broke through the fire blockade and approached the fleet, they suddenly made a pull-up action!

It's like rushing over at great risk just to pull up at a closer distance? !

No, that's not right!

The bombs hanging on the bellies of these aircraft disappeared, and the lookouts, observers, and even the commanders on the main ship were stunned for a moment.

what are they doing?

Why rush over and throw the bomb in the sea?

Is it because they can't bear the huge pressure?

Just when people were thinking about something, the lookout hand at the highest point let out a hysterical shout.

"Torpedoes, those planes dropped torpedoes!"

Just as the commander reacted, an air defense ship on the flank of the fleet suddenly "jumped".

Obviously, this kind of military ship is not a living thing, and it has no legs, so it cannot really jump up on its own.

And this is the sea. Even if it has legs, it can't jump.

What makes it feel like jumping comes from a torpedo!

Violent ripples appeared on the sea surface around the hull. After the hull "pressed" downwards, it began to tilt!

Those planes dropped torpedoes!

And these air-dropped torpedoes are the Pengeo Empire’s trump card against Gaevra, including the federal fleet!

They can't catch up with Gaevra and the Federation in the navy itself. Even if they build a sea fortress, they can't catch up with these two countries.

Then the only thing that can narrow the gap between the two sides is air-dropped torpedoes!

Emperor Pengeo and everyone should thank Lynch and the Flight Research Institute. The birth and rapid development of military aircraft allowed Emperor Pengeo to see a way to restrain the Gefra Armada.

Not only is it an effective method, it’s also very cheap!

Compared with the long construction period and cost of manufacturing an entire fleet, the cost of aircraft is obviously much cheaper, and can even be said to be a consumable.

Pengeo's aircraft development direction is mainly focused on strategic intentions for the ground and the sea. Air-to-air is not that important!

Because at this stage, the biggest threat to them is Gaevra and the federal navy. Only by solving these problems first can they be qualified to talk about deeper tactics and strategies.

Gathering the abilities of the best experts and scientists in the entire Pengeo Empire, the God-killing Sword was successfully developed.

It is 3.61 meters long, weighs 1,550 pounds, and has a maximum speed of 31 meters after entering the water. It is called "the long sword capable of killing gods"!

In order to enable this obviously overweight torpedo to be put into use smoothly, the Pengeo people also specially developed a short-distance load-bearing torpedo machine specially used to launch it.

Although it can only carry one at a time, it is enough for the Pengeo Empire!

They have many people and many planes. There is actually no big difference between taking off one at a time and a hundred!

The results also prove the value of this air-dropped torpedo, and all the investment in it is worth it!

The fleet responded quickly, and some battleships began to reverse direction, but the speed of these torpedoes was too fast, and they were dropped quite close.

Then two more battleships were unfortunately hit and slowly stopped.

At any time, the battleship losing power means that it will become the target of subsequent fire. The commander-in-chief of the First Fleet also looked particularly ugly.

As soon as they entered the strait, they suffered such huge losses, which they had never imagined!

Even if they are mentally prepared!

"Move all the anti-aircraft ships to the flanks and periphery, and concentrate on intercepting these aircraft that can drop torpedoes!"

The officer issued the order without hesitation. This would undoubtedly put the anti-aircraft ship in more danger, but the result of being hit by the anti-aircraft ship was better than that of the battleship being hit.

The commander sighed. In fact, before this, the navy was discussing an issue.

Whether warships need to be equipped with air defense equipment? After all, many people think that the next step will be the air force.

Once aircraft are used in naval battles, this type of weapon with no obvious natural enemies will pose a great threat to the fleet.

However, the installation of anti-aircraft artillery on all warships will obviously occupy the less abundant positions, and will also occupy storage space and increase some burdens.

This is also the reason why the air defense ship was born. After research, they plan to solve the problem of insufficient air defense capabilities through this special ship.

Equipped with more air defense ships, it is fully capable of assisting the fleet in solving air attack problems.

Remarkably, the Gefras did exactly this.

The dense anti-aircraft guns make it difficult for long-range bombers to get too close to the fleet. In fact, the role of anti-aircraft guns is not entirely to destroy these bombers, but more to expel them!

From the first stage, it does its job well.

But the question is, what if the bombs dropped by those planes run away on their own?

They had not considered this problem before, but now they did.

Directly dropping torpedoes from the air can cause a devastating blow to the fleet, while avoiding the problem of Pengeo's naval weakness.

Their warships accomplished their strategic objectives without even appearing anywhere visible.

The commander was a little sad.

Is the era of fleets coming to an end?

In fact, he still faces a choice now, whether to continue fighting or to withdraw.

If the battle continues, it means that there is a possibility of greater losses. At the same time, because the expected strategic plan was not achieved this time, the island's political intentions were not completed, causing some unpredictable disturbances.

But if we continue to attack, we will inevitably suffer more losses!

Just when he was in a dilemma, someone reminded him.

"We can ask for help from the Federation, this is the Eastern Ocean!"

After the officer's reminder, the commander suddenly woke up!

He pointed at the officer and exhaled heavily, "Help me contact the federal garrison nearby..."

Not long after, the Ministry of National Defense received news that the Gefra fleet, which was performing combat missions in the Niujiao Strait, requested the assistance of the Air Force...
