Tune the Pacific

Chapter 411 Comfortable travel?

The Skagrak Strait is the only passage from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea. Any ship in and out will pass through here and then go around a large V-shaped bay.

So for Russia, it is extremely important to develop a strong navy. Otherwise, as long as they block the bay, Russia can only hide in the Baltic Sea to catch fish. This is a nightmare for Nicholas II, who has a fanatical dream about the sea. So over the years, he has worked hard to buy and build, and finally fought It created the world's Third Navy.

Now, the powerful Baltic Fleet, which is a headache for both Britain and Germany, has finally set off. Both William II and Salisbury are in tears and have an impulse to set off firecrackers. After all, if you put dozens of capital ships under your eyes, I'm afraid you have to sleep with one eye open.

Now that I'm finally gone, can I be unhappy!

But they didn't know that under their eyes, a group of people were also very happy, because the target finally came.

At the rolling North Sea exit, a freighter with the American flag that arrived here yesterday quietly bumped up and down with the undulating waves. From the outside, it seemed to be asleep.

But in the cabin, it is a different scene.

Suge sat cross-legged on the cabin deck, fiddling with a box-sized control gas in his hand. Even if the side was full of onlookers, he looked focused and did not want to be distracted, because this was a technical job.

Radio technology is no longer a high-tech job for Suger, a professional naval electrical sergeant. As long as you can find the right parts, you can piece together a simple telegraph machine.

But at this time, what he has in his hand is not simple, because this is a radio remote control box made by the Electromagnetic Research Institute of the Ministry of Science and Technology based on Mr. Tesla's simple model.

In short, it is to send a radio command from the worker, and then the box will immediately send an electronic signal, and then the electronic signal will be transmitted to the motor, and finally make various reactions.

This technology was developed by Mr. Tesla as early as 1895, but due to technical limitations and the unstable electronic signal gas, the remote-controlled boat could only keep moving forward and could hardly maneuver. However, as all kinds of electronic components began to be researched and manufactured, this technology began to improve, which has enabled all kinds of maneuvers of controlled objects. The only trouble is that I was afraid that smoke would be found this time, so I used batteries so that the things that were made could not be too heavy.

After Suge quickly installed five control boxes, he stuffed the control box into five aluminum boats more than two meters long with the help of everyone. After pulling out the receiving antenna, he wrapped it in a thick oilcloth to prevent a short circuit in water.

When everything was done, Suge immediately picked up the remote control in the surprised eyes of the sailors. As his fingers flexibly moved the pole, the propeller under the boat sometimes rotated and sometimes stopped, and the two rudders showed a good mobile surname from left to right.

After all five boats were tested, Suger raised his thumbs up to the captain. The stunned sailors immediately rolled up their sleeves, stuffed pieces of explosives into the sealed cabin on the head of the boat, and then connected the detonator wire.

After everything was installed, the four selected sailors began to learn how to make a remote control boat under the guidance of Suge. When everyone was basically familiar with it, they wanted to play again, and the wall lights in the cabin suddenly turned red.

The hatch of the stern of the ship began to open little by little, bringing sunshine to the cabin while gradually tightening the atmosphere, because it means that the target is not far away.

When the sailors quickly pushed the boats into the sea one by one, Suga had led the four crews onto the deck. Under the command of the remote control, the five boats rolled up a group of waves at the rear and rushed to the mouth of the strait.

Alexander III is the second Borodino-class battleship. Russia has reason to be proud of it as the latest battleship magnified on the basis of the battleship Crown Prince purchased in France.

Although in terms of tonnage, the displacement of more than 14,000 is outdated, the equipment is not only not lagging behind, but also extremely excellent. The turret is driven by a large electric motor imported from Germany, the bomber is also electric, and it is also equipped with two [***] risers, which can be said to be the most complete electrification in Europe. First-class active battleship.

The force is also extremely strong. The L45/305mm double gun in the front and back hemispheres can crush any enemy within 10,000 meters, and the two additional double L45/210mm double secondary main guns in the middle of the hull can provide six 200mm guns at the same time when firing to one side. The upper-caliber shell, although this fire strength has entered the latest sharp Chinese battleship, even not as good as the Chinese Duke class, the rate of fire of this second-level secondary gun is very fast, which has reached two rounds per minute, which can completely suppress the Duke level.

Of course, this is the idea of Roger Stern and other Russian [***] officials. When they cheered for the latest battleships of the five empire, they also found one of the biggest problems, that is, the common problem of the legal warships. After the outside of the ship is tilted inward, it is very easy to wave on the deck, and the North Sea in front of them is full of waves. It's famous, so we have to get through this part.

But this is Europe, and the Chinese will not come here, so there are many sailors standing on the deck of the fleet, enjoying this rare relaxing moment. Even Roger Stern himself found a chair to sit on the flying bridge at the top of the bridge, bathed in the sun, and discussed with a lady how to use it during the voyage. The medical ship kept the soldiers in morale.

A shallow smile, the round legs under the skirt and the buttocks wrapped in the skirt when sitting down made Roger Stern fly blood, talking and longing for the scene of the enemy trembling under his gun.

This will be a wonderful journey.

Rogerst Winster stretched out comfortably and didn't notice the five gray dots looming in the waves in the distance.

Suga and all the crew lay on the deck. After adding a few slashes to the light gray painting, it was difficult for them to see the five boats under the wind and waves in the North Sea. It is said that this is the latest camouflage result of the equipment support department, which can greatly reduce the possibility of finding the enemy.

But I'm afraid that the research institute did not expect that it had not brought trouble to the enemy, but first brought difficulties to its own remote control. In particular, the wind and waves in the North Sea were relatively large, and the easy-to-find internal combustion engine was not used as power, so the five small boats almost disappeared from everyone's sight.

Suga carefully moved the remote control and commanded the remote control boat to rush to the largest target in the fleet. He knew that even after the boat hit the other party and detonated, he could not tear off the enemy's thick armor with dozens of kilograms of explosives in the bow, but the headquarters did not think about it. The boat paralyzed the Russian fleet. What they had to do was to make Russia nervous all the way, accelerate the fatigue of the sailors, and make them rest in peace.

As the main force of the Russian fleet in the distance gradually drilled out of the waterway, everyone took a breath. Although they all knew that the Russian fleet was huge, they didn't expect it to be so big. They lay on the deck and looked at it, and even their eyes were blocked.

After a short period of sluggishness, Suge and the four remote control personnel chose the target. In order to prevent the radio waves from interfering with each other, the transmitter not only adopted different bands, but also opened a certain distance.

"Accelerate, hit!"

When the remote control boat entered 2,000 meters, Suge shouted and pushed the rod with his thumbs with the four remote control personnel. The boat moving slowly in the waves seemed to be injected with chicken blood. After the tail suddenly pulled out a long track, it began to fly on the tip of the waves.

The five white tails that were pulled out immediately attracted the attention of the Russian sailors. Many people did not understand what it was. It was not until the alarm sounded from each warship that they woke up and ran around.

Roger West Winster couldn't take care of the lady who was scared to death. He suddenly grabbed the nearest officer and shouted, "What's going on?"

"Your Excellency, torpedo, it's a torpedo!" The officer pointed to the sea with an earthy face and shouted in horror. The word "torpedo" made a loud scream behind him, but Roger Winster no longer had the knight's mind to protect the beauty. He rushed to the railing. When he took over the telescope, five white tails had arrived in front of him.

What is that?

Roger West Winster stared at the five boats that shuttled happily on the tip of the waves, and his eyes were straight. Is such a small boat a new toy invented by that child?

As long as it was not a torpedo, Roger Winster was finally relieved. When he was about to scold the bastard who regarded the boat as a torpedo, the first boat had lightning-likely hit the outermost second-class battleship Petrobovsk.

Boom!

A huge explosion made Roger Stern squat down subconsciously, and his whole body was stunned. God, what the hell is this? Why did the explosion happen?

The wooing siren lingered over the fleet. When a small boat slammed into the flagship Alexander III, Roger Stern felt that his whole body had been thrown away, a few steps back, and the port side suddenly rushed out of the flames.

Finally, when the remaining boats collided with Russia, Rostislav and a destroyer, the whole fleet was stunned.

What the hell is this?

And this is the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. How can anyone provoke the powerful Third World Navy here?

The thick gunpowder smoke rose from the side of several battleships that were hit, especially the destroyer Birrit. Due to the shallow water, the oil cloth on the deck was suddenly ignited by gunpowder smoke, and the oilcloth ignited the firewood below. Suddenly, the thick smoke rolled up everywhere. The frightened Russian sailors were not even too lazy to put out the fire and grabbed it one after another. The life buoy jumps into the water.

Sug's eyes widened in the distance, and he was secretly annoyed that he didn't expect to concentrate all the boats on these small warships? But now it's too late to regret that there is thick smoke in the three chimneys of the freighter, and it begins to accelerate to leave the Russian fleet.

Rogerstwinster, who was stunned by the explosion and rolled up, saw the American cargo ship that was leaving quickly. He suddenly realized and immediately ordered a shelling. But at this time, many Russian sailors were resting and did not enter the battle position at all. In addition, the load of the ships was too much, and the pursuit was not possible, so they could only Watching the other party disappear under the sea level at a speed of more than 20 knots.

Half an hour later, when the destroyer Grum was burned with only the shell, Roger Stern and all the sailors swallowed.

Who said it was a comfortable trip?
