Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

The battlecruiser Hiei, paralyzed on the sea, became the target of ten French cannons.

This moment was desperate for Colonel Matsuno Tomohira.

If...if there was an if, he would never have bombarded Donglai City out of momentary anger.

This is a trap, waiting for him to fall into it.

But there are no ifs and no medicine for regret in this world.

"Colonel, evacuate quickly. We have prepared a lifeboat for you. The destroyer Kaifeng will come to pick you up."

Looking at the officers surrounding him, Matsuno Tomohei's eyes gradually dimmed.

"I can't leave. The Hiei is sinking, and I have to go with it. You guys go and save some seeds for the navy. We can't afford to lose any more. Go!"

After taking a look, the officers quickly left the island and ran towards the side deck.

"Woooooooo..."

“Boom…Boom…”

Another round of ten 600mm caliber, three-ton shells fell.

Immediately, three balls of fire burst out from the battlecruiser Hiei.

One of them hit the docking point between the No. 2 main gun and the middle of the island.

In the violent explosion and fierce impact, even though Matsuno Tomohei had held on firmly, he was still thrown out and hit the wall hard, almost making his vision go black.

The other two shells penetrated multiple layers of decks, tearing a crack in the bottom of the ship, and seawater began to pour in frantically.

In less than a minute, the battlecruiser Hiei had tilted 32 degrees.

"One more round!"

As long as the Hiei doesn't sink, Jiang Hua won't let him go.

As for the other warships, even if they couldn't escape, it would not have much impact on the battle situation.

What's more, given the range of the French cannons, it would be difficult for them to escape.

10 French cannons with automatic feeding system and firing rate of one round per minute.

Each gun can fire sixty rounds in an hour, so ten guns can fire six hundred rounds.

In an hour, they could only run 55.56 nautical miles ( kilometers) at most, which was still within the range of the French artillery.

So Jiang Hua was not in a hurry.

Compared with hitting moving targets, the accuracy of hitting stationary sea targets is definitely much higher.

In this round of shells, two more hit the Hiei.

One of the missiles landed in the rear steering gear compartment and was hit, blowing all four propellers away and causing more seawater to pour into the cabin.

At this moment, the Hiei finally couldn't bear the weight and collapsed like a tall building, creating a shocking splash on the sea.

Under Jiang Hua's gaze, the attacking battlecruiser Hiei was quickly swallowed by the sea water and sank into the sea bit by bit.

"Next target."

At this moment, Jiang Hua was not sleepy at all and aimed at the Aoba-class heavy cruiser.

The Aoba-class heavy cruiser has a full displacement of 8300 tons and a maximum speed of 36 knots.

This speed is still very fast, and it is not easy to hit it when it is sailing at high speed.

When the first round of shells hit, a huge column of water was set off around it, which immediately shocked all the sailors on the heavy cruiser Aoba.

This also means that the Hiei has sunk and they are the next target.

Although it was very fast, it could not withstand the falling rounds of shells.

In the third round, a shell hit it.

It is not as tough as the Hiei, after all, there is a big difference in tonnage between the two.

A cannonball landed and blew the stern of the Aoba into two pieces, breaking the rear deck directly.

This is the power of the 600mm large-caliber cannon, which is not comparable to ordinary coastal defense guns.

One shot into the soul!

Jiang Hua laughed immediately after seeing this scene. It felt so good.

While bombarding the small ship, he finally felt the power of the giant cannon.

There was no need to waste any more shells on the Aoba heavy cruiser, which had already been blown into two pieces.

Because sinking is inevitable, it is just a matter of time.

So the next target is the heavy cruiser Kinugasa, the sister ship of the heavy cruiser Aoba.

Because the Kinugasa was traveling at a very high speed and was maneuvering here and there, the accuracy of the hit was not particularly high.

But he still got hit in the seventh round.

With one shot, the island was blown away, turning the Kinugasa into a flat-headed giant.

The explosion also affected the chimney, and thick black smoke immediately began to spread everywhere.

Although this missile did not cause fatal damage to the Kinugasa, it did cause it to lose control.

Two rounds later, two shells hit it, and one of them happened to fall next to the ammunition depot.

In a round of fierce chain reaction explosions, the heavy cruiser Kinugasa sank faster than the Aoba.

This scene scared the other warships to death.

These huge cannons are like the Grim Reaper calling out names, with such a high hit rate even at a distance of more than 40 kilometers.

Once it targets you, you can only pray that you won't be hit.

There is no need to concentrate fire on the remaining two light cruisers and five destroyers.

Jiang Hua divided the ten cannons into four groups, namely 3+3+2+2.

The three guns in a group can lock onto two Kuma-class light cruisers respectively, and the two guns in a group can lock onto a first-class destroyer.

As the distances get longer, these smaller ships become smaller targets and have high maneuverability.

This slow-firing cannon has a much lower hit rate, even with the assistance of radar.

However, Jiang Hua had no intention of being stingy with the ammunition.

A shell only costs 100 gold coins, so he doesn't feel sorry at all after firing it.

In the end, two Kuma-class light cruisers and two first-class destroyers were sunk within 20 minutes.

As for the other three second-rate destroyers, they escaped.

Because they have run out of the detection range of shore-based radar.

The detection range of shore-based radar and fire control radar is up to 57 kilometers.

Because this planet is the same as the blue planet, both are round and naturally have curvature.

The curvature is also around 40 kilometers.

Because shore-based radar is installed on high ground, it can detect farther, but the distance is limited.

Therefore, when the distance exceeds 57 kilometers, only artillery reconnaissance aircraft can be used for guidance.

Although several ships escaped, Jiang Hua still felt very satisfied and the results of the battle were very rich.

He believed that the Fuso fleet would not dare to approach the Saito Peninsula and Zhili Sea again in the short term.

This will also become their restricted area.

After dealing with the Fuso Navy, we can now safely deal with the Fuso Army and the Northern Frontier Army.

There are two main reasons why the 7th Mechanized Division has not launched an attack on the island city.

One reason was the need to occupy other towns in the east and to divide up the troops for defense, which led to the dispersion of the troops.

The second reason is that there are too few Japanese devils landing on the island.

So the Seventh Division has been waiting for the arrival of the large-scale landing force of the Fuso people.

The ten K5E railway guns that Jiang Hua had urgently built were waiting for them.

What's more, a brigade of Katyusha rocket launchers was specially prepared for them.

As for the Northern Frontier Army, it is relatively easy to deal with them.

The strength of the two sides is no longer on the same level.

Chishan County!

The next day, Jiang Hua attended an agriculture-related meeting.

It is almost February now, and spring plowing will begin in April in the Northern Rehe Province.

Therefore, this agricultural conference was also held in conjunction with the spring plowing season.

This spring plowing is of great significance to Beire Province.

As long as this spring plowing can produce a good harvest, the entire Beire Province will not have to worry about food for the next year, and Jiang Hua will not have to exchange it from the base.

This can also save some funds for use elsewhere.

More than one million a day may seem like a lot, but there are more places to use it, and less is left for increasing the number of troops.

There are two main topics in this agricultural conference.

The first is the problem of farm tools, and the second is seeds and fertilizers.

Most of the farmers who had just been allocated land in Beire Province were former tenant farmers, or even not tenant farmers at all. They were extremely poor.

Although they were allocated land, they had no money to buy the farm tools needed for farming.

Although the price of farm tools is not high, it is still a considerable expense for them who are penniless.

This meeting is to resolve this issue.

After discussion, it was unanimously decided to establish a state-owned agricultural implement factory, which would produce agricultural implements in a unified manner. The implements would then be distributed to governments at all levels and finally to the grassroots level in villages and towns.

These farm tools are provided to farmers who cannot afford to buy them.

But this thing is not free, it is half price.

That is to say, the government subsidizes half of the money, and the rest needs to be paid by yourself.

This has already alleviated some of their burden.

If you still can't come up with the money, you can wait until the grain is harvested and use the grain to pay off the debt.

This is already a very conscientious policy.

Then there are the seeds.

Farmers are resistant to new types of seeds that they are not familiar with.

Because for them this year's harvest is related to whether the family can survive, which is a big issue of survival.

Although the rice varieties promoted by Jiang Hua are all high-yield varieties, farmers still have concerns.

This requires the grassroots to work hard to convince the farmers.

Farmers who are willing to use high-yield rice seeds can be exempted from part of the agricultural tax.

How many farmers are willing to plant depends on how well the work at the grassroots level is done.

But in Jiang Hua's opinion, it's not a big problem.

The grassroots workers nowadays are either college students or retired soldiers from the Air Force and Navy, who are also at the college level.

This also allows Jiang Hua's orders to be directly implemented at the grassroots level.

There will not be a situation where imperial power does not reach the countryside.

They have a very good reputation locally. They are all down-to-earth people and they are very efficient at work.

Therefore, the number of farmers willing to plant high-yield rice seeds should not be less than half.

As long as farmers see the high yield of these high-yield rice varieties, they will undoubtedly be willing to plant them next year.

Then there’s the issue of fertilizer.

At present, many fertilizer factories have been put into production in Chishan, Guyu and Chengbei.

There are nitrogen fertilizers, phosphorus fertilizers, potassium fertilizers, urea and other fertilizers.

The main raw materials for potash fertilizer need to be imported from abroad, so the price is more expensive.

Promoting the use of fertilizers can lead to higher crop yields.

But it is not something that ordinary farmers can afford.

However, Jiang Hua is still determined to promote it. High-yield rice seeds have higher requirements for fertility. Fertilizer is indispensable if you want to achieve high yield.

But more farmers still prefer to use zero-cost natural fertilizers.

Therefore, promoting the use of fertilizers is a long and arduous task, but as long as farmers see the benefits brought by fertilizers, they will naturally make the choice.

On the Korean Peninsula, the three surviving second-class destroyers that had sailed on the sea all night finally returned to the port in the central part of the Korean Peninsula.

Their return once again caused a huge sensation in Fuso.
