Chapter 668 (1/2)

The heavy turret is turned by special soldiers by hand.

The motor has not been measured yet, so we can only use manpower to shake the deceleration equipment and then drive the turret to rotate.

There is no way to do this. Even if the stone bear knows the structure and manufacturing process of the motor, due to the material problem, it is estimated that it will take a long time for this thing to come out.

However, even if the turret is shaken manually, the rotation speed of the turret is not slow.

Under the command of the gunner, the turret soon turned to the angle where it could shoot, and then the pitching angle of the barrel could be adjusted.

When everything was adjusted, two 105mm shells weighing 26 kg were quickly loaded into the gun bore by two loaders. At the next moment, with two loud noises less than one second apart, the whole warship trembled and the two shells were launched.

When the No. 1 turret was launched, the No. 2 turret was launched immediately, and the bow main guns of the other eight warships were fired at the same time.

Even in the bridge, through the heavy glass windows, the stone bear can feel the violent energy impact of the muzzle.

The muzzle velocity of the shell is about 450 m / s, and the distance is 12 km. The shell needs to fly in the air for about 26 seconds!

Simon Noel is a captain of the Royal French navy. He also commands a sub fleet of two class III windsurfing battleships.

A month and a half ago, Simon Noel received an order to escort three Spanish merchant ships to the new world of North America and send a batch of urgently needed supplies to the American army.

At this time, France and Spain had been in alliance for six years, and it had been five years since the two countries joined hands to attack the fortress of gibraltarian. Because of this strong fortress, the relationship between the two countries had become unprecedented unity.

The Spanish dominated the attack on the fort of gibraltarian, while the French dominated the fleet of the British in the Atlantic. As for the delivery of materials to the army allies far away from the other side of the ocean, the two countries share the responsibility.

It was usually the French who sent warships to escort the Spanish merchant ships.

In the original historical time and space, the two countries have never cooperated so much. But in this time and space, because of the fort of gibraltarian, the cooperation between the two countries is much more than that in the original historical time and space.

Just last year, the main force of the British Navy began to concentrate on the fortress of gibraltarian. The French Spanish United Fleet had fought with the British main force several times in the Atlantic Ocean, and the losses of both sides were not small.

It is obvious that the British can no longer bear the pressure of the two-way war. George III should have made the decision to protect the gibraltarian fortress and give up the thirteen colonies of North America.

The French are naturally happy with the British decision, but the Spaniards are upset.

The main purpose of Spain's declaration of war on Britain was to recapture the fort of gibraltarian. Now the British abandoned the thirteen colonies of North America and concentrated their main fleet on the side of the fort of gibraltarian, which obviously greatly increased the difficulty of seizing the fort of gibraltarian.

But fortunately, this time the French did not pull the ribbon, their navy was still strong, and the combined fleet of the two countries also resisted the main fleet of the British navy.

The two sides have beaten hard several times near the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, and now both sides are back to lick the wounds.

Under such circumstances, Simon Noel's sub fleet was sent out to escort three Spanish merchant ships to North America.
