C917 King of Fire (1/2)

As the shouts and cries of battle in Dakar grew louder and louder, the Zhiyuan Warship also began to consider the port. Now that there was no longer any threat from the cannons, it used its cannons like a bayonet and stuck them right under the noses of the enemies.

”Reporting to Captain! ”The pier has just fired two orange flames. Our troops are already at the pier, please stop the bombardment of the pier …”

”Very good, give the order for Lin Zhen to extend his fire range to cover the industrial area and the army camps …”

Boom! Boom! The Zhiyuan Warship shook violently twice more as another two balls of fiery smoke rose from the faraway industrial area of Dakar.

At the end of the 19th century, the Iron-armored battleship had always been a strategic weapon of a country. In the era when aerial bombs did not appear, the Iron-armored Ship main cannon represented the most powerful weapon a country's army could use.

For example, in the late nineteenth century at the beginning of the twentieth century, the strategic position of Steel battleship was not inferior to the nuclear weapons of the later generations. There were many times when Iron-armored battleship s were the powerful deterrents of a country, and they often did not need to participate in battles.

Shipstick is more than just an excuse. Each of these four words is filled with the blood of the failed nation.

In fact, the Japanese army won with great difficulty. If it were not for the strong support from the Japanese navy, perhaps history would have been rewritten.

Not discussing the specific historical reasons and data here, just one example would be the No. 3 battleship of the Japanese King Kong class battleship, Hazel.

This is the most powerful battleship in the Japanese Navy at the Wusong Conference. The main gun has reached a terrifying caliber of 356 mm, and the observers can measure it themselves by measuring it with a ruler to see how wide it really is.

It was a simple comparison. Look at the computer keyboard in your hand. You cut off the small numeric keypad on the far right, and the remaining length was basically 356 mm. Needless to say, this diameter was larger than the watermelon you bought in the supermarket.

Not only was the caliber of the projectile huge, but it was also as tall as an adult's height. It was impossible to load and load this kind of ammunition. One had to use a mechanical filling machine.

Such a terrifying artillery shell would have been considered a true killing machine even in the 21st world, let alone in the early stages of the Second World War.

As one might imagine, when each battalion of the army launched an attack on the enemy, almost everyone's blood was lost in the attack on a factory or a commercial building.

With just a single shot of the cannon, Hazel's name was able to flatten the building that Chinese Army had spent hundreds of thousands of forces to take back.

The lives of a hundred thousand people are less than one shot. This is not a fantasy, this is living history, this is a real battle that has taken place on our land.

The defeat at the war between Hong Kong and Hong Kong was not because the Chinese Army was not brave enough, but because the power of industry was far too weak. At that time, when Japan and China had battled, it was actually the same logic as the later generations of the United States, who possessed nuclear weapons, bullying Iraq and Libya.
