Restart Spain

The mighty Russian Black Sea Fleet, under the command of Ivanovich, headed by the flagship "Moscow", began to move towards the combined fleet in the Black Sea.

The three most conspicuous Novgorod-class ships in the fleet, the Novgorod, known as the "round battleship", was affectionately referred to as "one of the worst battleships in history" by later generations.

In the period of the "Romanov" navy, the most powerful Peter the Great-class ironclad ships have not yet officially served in the Russian Navy.

The largest Moscow is only about 4,000 tons, and the Novgorod class is only about 2,500 tons.

Corresponding to it is the combined fleet. Not to mention the three former dreadnought ships of the Spanish Castile class. The British also dispatched the "Black Prince" and "Giant" in this operation, and even included A ravaged "Thunder".

Any ship is a large ship of more than 10,000 tons, and the displacement of the Thunder has reached 13,000 tons, which is almost the same as the tonnage of the Castile class.

The disparity of power between the two sides cannot make Admiral Wolfgang take it lightly.

This is a real battlefield. Any carelessness may cause casualties. Although the Russian navy does not have the strength to challenge the Royal Navy, it will inevitably not make some crazy moves.

"In the battle, the T-tactic is always the first to take the lead, and the person who occupies the top of the T will be in a favorable position."

Wolfgang casually said to Ledesma next to him, feeling the fishy sea breeze and the power of the huge battleship under his feet.

The speed of "Queen Isabella" is as high as 16 knots, surpassing all British ships in active service, and "Thunder" in the same Black Sea Fleet. The top speed is just 14 knots.

Whether it is firepower, armor, or speed, the Spanish warships brought great shock to the British Royal Navy.

When three Castile-class ships joined the Black Sea Fleet, the strength of the entire Black Sea Fleet can be said to be no weaker than the navy of any country except Britain and France.

"When we occupy a favorable position, our main artillery shells can take the lead in attacking the enemy, and the enemy ships in a vertical position will become our living targets."

Feeling the warm time of Ledesma next to him, Wolfgang had to preach a few words. He had a good sense of the three young men, especially Ledesma, who was appointed as the captain of the "Queen Isabella". horse.

"Let me ask you a question, how do you think we can get a favorable position before the two armies meet?"

Wolfgang directly started to ask questions. As an honest and serious soldier, it was awkward to be a teacher, but his rich experience made him know what he should say.

"I think this is not only a test of the commander's ability, the speed of the battleship... etc., it is also an important means of grabbing a favorable position in a naval battle."

The T-shaped tactic is a display that has become popular as early as the era of sailing warships. After a long period of fermentation and improvement, Ledesma believes in this piece and does not need to consult the British.

In fact, Spain's self-confidence that it is still a big European country is still there. The Spaniards in the T-shaped lineup are not necessarily worse than the British.

"That's right. It can be seen that your basic skills must be solid before, but about the navy, you still lack experience. I will teach you here personally."

Wolfgang stood on the sun-drenched deck, clenched his fists slightly, and said to Ledesma with a smile.

In normal times, Wolfgang, who has always been unsmiling, would never have such an attitude, but after getting older, facing such a smart and studious young man, he will always have an unfree heart and goodwill.

Ledesma was almost forty years old, but in front of Wolfgang, he was definitely a young man, so he didn't feel any discomfort.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General has praised me. The Spanish Navy has not experienced a real naval battle for too long. Only by studying with you humbly can I make further progress."

Looking at Wolfgang, who was clearly in a good mood, Ledesma couldn't help but flatter him. Now he's ready to learn a little from this veteran.

"Hahahaha, you still know how to talk..."

Once again, Wolfgang was successfully amused, and he couldn't help laughing heartily. The sea breeze blowing under the sun seemed to be a little more comfortable.

But the happy moment did not last long, and soon a messenger came to the two of them:

"Report Commander, the Russian fleet is found ahead, and the coefficient of Russian capital ships is listed. May I ask what should be done next."

The messenger stood at attention and reported the content, the size of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and even a messenger did not feel the slightest panic.

Ryders nodded secretly, this time the risk was similar to what he expected, and the Black Sea Fleet, which had been rebuilt for only five years, was nothing to worry about.

"Don't pay attention to them. We drive normally. No one has ever stipulated that the Black Sea is the territorial waters of the Russians. We just drive normally."

Wolfgang directly issued an order. The division of sea areas in this era is extremely vague, and it can even be said that there is no such thing. The British words are actually not without reason~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Yes! "

The messenger stomped his feet again to stand at attention and began to deliver the message below.

Before the British discovered the Russians, the Black Sea Fleet had already found the location of the Combined Fleet. There were too many ships in the Combined Fleet, and such a huge fleet could not cover up their whereabouts.

Moreover, the purpose of the combined fleet's trip is very clear, that is, to come to the Black Sea to deter the Russians, and it is impossible to carry out the so-called deterrence action surreptitiously.

"Faced with this kind of task that only requires deterrence, we need to have a degree of protection, which can not really cause mishaps, but also let the hostile country feel the threat realistically."

"And the best way is to get into the double-shot strike range and keep the opponent in a state of high tension at any time. Our powerful fleet will definitely make them feel timid."

Wolfgang started preaching Ledesma again. Although this kind of military diplomacy has nothing to do with technical and tactical experience, he still wanted to talk about it.

"Yes."

Ledesma looked at the old man in the British admiral's uniform in front of him, and couldn't help but show respect in his heart. This is a teaching that has nothing to do with nationality and is purely for the love of young people.

Although many of them may be useless nonsense.

The combined fleet is slowly advancing towards the Russian Black Sea Fleet at a speed of about 10 knots. The soldiers are also taking a rest. Otherwise, they will be within range for a while. No matter who they are on both sides, they need to be vigilant.

In order to meet this state of constant tension. Preparing in advance is the most important method.

The sun is slowly setting from the west, and the sea is shimmering with golden light and black steam that covers the sky. The unique historical picture of the 19th century is gradually unfolding.
