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

Chapter 82: Fuso's grand battleship launching ceremony, the Restoration Army bombers came to co

March 32, 3nd year of the Renshen era.

This day is also a very important day for the Fuso Navy.

Because today, a heavyweight ship will be launched at the Wugang Shipyard and will then join the combat sequence of the Fuso Navy Combined Fleet.

This ship is the second ship of the Kaohsiung-class heavy cruiser and has not yet been named.

The Kaohsiung-class heavy cruiser is a typical treaty-type heavy cruiser, also designed based on the Myoko-class heavy cruiser.

The weapons are ten 203mm caliber main guns.

The biggest difference is the castle-like island, which is much larger than the Myoko-class.

The island that looks like an illegal building seems to have become one of the symbols of the Fuso Navy.

According to common sense, the launching of a heavy cruiser is not a big deal for the Combined Fleet, which is a naval power and the world's third fleet.

But the situation is different when various factors come together.

The first was the disastrous defeat suffered by the Combined Fleet in the previous Battle of Canghai.

Although the navy tried its best to conceal the truth, the truth would eventually come out.

With so many ships and so many people killed in this naval battle, it is impossible that no news had leaked out.

It was precisely because of this that the news of the Combined Fleet's disastrous defeat caused such a sensation.

It also made the Combined Fleet feel humiliated.

Even a lot of the military budget for 32 was taken away by the army.

It is because the army seized their pain point and kept attacking them.

In fact, the Navy also suspected that the news was leaked so quickly because the Army was behind it.

It was precisely because of these successive failures that a large number of main battleships sank.

Especially the heavy cruisers, six of which have already sunk.

Among them are the Myoko class heavy cruisers Nachi and Ashigara, the Furutaka class Furutaka and Kako, and the Aoba class Aoba and Kinugasa.

The total number of heavy cruisers in the navy is only about ten.

This does not include the two battleships, one battlecruiser and one aircraft carrier that were sunk.

After such heavy losses, the Combined Fleet urgently needed fresh blood.

The second Kaohsiung-class heavy cruiser, whose construction began in August 27, was also the first 8-ton battleship to enter service after the Battle of the Sea.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of the entire navy.

In order to save face, the Fuso Navy's top brass also invited the ministers or consuls of John, Gaul, the United States, Hans, and Noodles in Fuso to attend the launching ceremony of the second Kaohsiung-class ship.

It is not difficult to find out from the personnel invited by the Fuso Navy that they are all the top powers in the West.

This also shows that the Fuso Navy urgently needs a powerful warship to prove itself.

Ministers and consuls from top powers were invited to attend, and naturally media from various countries were also present.

With such a large scale of publicity, those who don’t know would think that Fuso has launched another battleship.

However, the Fuso Navy does have a new shipbuilding plan.

They sank too many ships in the Battle of Canghai and the Battle of Zhili Strait.

With the approval of Emperor Tamehito, the Navy decided to design and build six new battleships simultaneously within three years.

Two of them were the third and fourth ships of the Nagato-class battleships, and two battleships more powerful than the Nagato-class were designed and built.

The remaining two are aircraft carriers, with a tonnage of at least 10,000 tons.

4 battleships, 2 aircraft carriers, 6 heavy cruisers, and 2 light cruisers, which is also called the New Fleet by the Fuso Navy.

It is expected that all these ships will be completed and put into service within five years.

The ambition of the Japanese can also be seen from this shipbuilding plan.

In order to build this new 88 Fleet, the Fuso Navy will have to live a frugal life.

At the Wugang Shipyard, such a large-scale publicity event was attended by the three major figures of the Navy: Prince Ryunosuke Nagashima, Chief of the Naval General Staff, Kazusaburo Ueda, Minister of the Navy, and Narumi Yamamoto, Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet.

The person who drove the design and construction of two battleships more powerful than the Nagato class was Vice Admiral Shigemi Yamamoto, commander of the Combined Fleet.

As an ardent advocate of the battleship faction, I put a lot of thought into this matter.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the entire Wugang Shipyard became extremely lively.

It seemed as if all the Fuso civilians around Wu Port were crowding towards the shipyard.

More than 50,000 civilians came to watch this grand event.

In order to maintain order, the Fuso Navy also dispatched a regiment of marines.

As for the army? Get the hell out of here.

It would be a desecration to let them near their new warships.

The three senior naval officers who made up the troika appeared one after another in their cars.

When they got off the bus, they caused a stir at the scene.

Normally these three big figures rarely get together, let alone appear on camera together.

Seeing this, John's ambassador to Fuso, Morton, exclaimed: "The Fuso people's ability to build warships is getting stronger and stronger."

The American ambassador beside him chuckled and said, "For the Fuso Navy, your Royal Navy also made great contributions."

The navy of Fuso learned from John and even learned what they called gentlemanly etiquette.

Hearing the ridicule of the American envoy, Morton said nonchalantly: "We are also trying to curb the development of that bear and prevent their Far East Fleet from threatening our interests.

Obviously we were right to do so.

The bear's fleet is stuck in their harbor."

Just as the envoys of the two countries were discussing, Prince Ryunosuke Nagashima, the Chief of the Naval General Staff, also gave the order to start the ceremony.

This also brought the atmosphere on the scene to a climax.

“Crack, click, click!!!”

All the cameras on the dock were focused on the new ship docked at the dock.

As a treaty-type heavy cruiser, it is already powerful enough.

If it were not for the treaty provisions, the 10 203mm naval guns would undoubtedly be replaced with 283mm or even 308mm.

At the same time, Ueda Kazusaburo, who was also the Minister of the Navy, also announced a sensational news in front of the media of various countries.

"In order to maintain Dongzhou's maritime security and order, we will continue to build more powerful ships. Starting this year, two more Nagato-class battleships will be added to the slipway of the shipyard behind us..."

Ueda and Saburo's words indeed caused a sensation at the scene.

The Nagato-class battleships are of great significance to the Fuso Navy and also play an important role in the world.

It is also the largest battleship in the world.

At the same time, only the Nelson-class battleships of John's country could be compared with it.

However, the main gun caliber of the Nelson-class battleships was only 406 mm, while that of the Nagato-class was 410 mm.

Now the Fuso Navy has announced the construction of two Nagato-class battleships, and the sensation it caused can be imagined.

"The Fuso people sank two old battleships, but built two new, more powerful battleships. This will make them even more powerful."

The American Minister frowned slightly when he heard this.

The Nagato-class battleship is an existence that no navy can ignore.

If there are four Nagato-class battleships, it will not be a good thing for the United States.

Although the Pacific Ocean is large, the United States has always regarded it as its own ocean.

The growth of the Fuso Navy is also a challenge to the US Pacific Fleet.

Soon this Takao-class heavy cruiser also had a name of its own - the Atago heavy cruiser.

Salutes began to roar in the sky to celebrate the commissioning of this 10,000-ton heavy cruiser.

When the Japanese civilians at the scene saw this 10,000-ton battleship, they became more and more excited and proud.

However, just when the atmosphere was extremely heated, bursts of exclamations came from the crowd.

Several Fuso Navy officers also ran to Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke and the other three with gloomy faces.

"what happened?"

Because of the awning blocking the view, Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke and others could not see what the people outside were looking at or why they were exclaiming in surprise.

"It's a fleet of aircraft, a large fleet coming from the southwest towards Wugang.

It's a heavy attack machine... a heavy attack machine we've never seen before, most likely from the Restoration Army."

"Nani?"

"Can you say that again!"

The three of them couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard this.

Their expressions and the noise coming from outside also attracted the attention of ministers and media from various countries.

So they all walked outside.

However, when these media reporters, ministers, and consuls walked outside and looked up at the sky, their eyes and faces were filled with shock, disbelief, and astonishment.

"Oh my god, this is the most spectacular scene we have ever seen...I will definitely remember it for the rest of my life."

"God, is this a surprise the Fuso people prepared for the launch of their new ship?"

On the distant skyline, a fleet of planes covering the sky and the sun was flying towards them.

Because the aircraft group was flying at such a high altitude, they looked like just a small black dot.

But when there are two or three hundred small black dots, the scene is still very spectacular.

“Crack, crack…”

Reporters raised their cameras to capture this spectacular scene.

Minister Morton of John's country had a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

Because he saw that Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke and others were also panicking.

There was even a group of guards accompanying them as they left the scene through the back door.

Obviously, this large fleet does not belong to the Japanese.

"Damn it! Let's go! This is a fighter plane from the Restoration Army, not the Fuso people!"

I saw Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke and others running away.

Morton also shouted, which immediately made the other ministers and consuls look surprised.

Then they quickly reacted.

They may not be familiar with the name of the Renaissance Army, but they have heard of it.

After all, the Battle of Canghai was the battle that made the Fuxing Army famous internationally, forcing many powers to pay attention to the warlord forces of this ancient country.

If this fleet of aircraft does not belong to the Fuso people, then it must be from the Restoration Army.

Because they are the only ones who have this ability at the moment.

At this time, the Fuxing Army sent such a large fleet of aircraft to Wugang, obviously targeting here.

Sure enough, less than two minutes after they left, the shrill air raid sirens rang out throughout Wugang and even the entire Guangdao County.

The bombing of the Renaissance Army is coming!

(I'll start exploding right away. There will be another update later. Please give me some rewards.)
