Chapter 123 The Terrifying Super Battleship (Part )
On the vast ocean, the Zhenguo super battleship leads a huge fleet.
With unparalleled momentum, it took the lead at the forefront of the fleet, like a brave and fearless warrior.
Around it, more than twenty destroyers tightly surrounded it, forming a solid line of defense to protect the safety of the fleet.
And in the center of the fleet, two aircraft carriers stood majestically.
They are equipped with Yan Country's most advanced carrier-based fighters and carrier-based attack aircraft, ready to go into battle at any time.
The goal of this operation was clear and firm: to completely destroy Dongyang Kingdom’s fleet on Kalimantan Island.
Once this mission is completed, the fleet will continue to advance to block any reinforcements that may be sent by the Dongyang State.
At the same time, another fleet consisting of two aircraft carriers was heading in a different direction.
They shoulder important missions, which include protecting the smooth landing of the army and providing strong support in the air.
Qin Ruihua was well aware of the significance of this battle, which not only concerned national interests but also international status.
In order to show the world the powerful force of Yan Country's super battleship, he decided to let the destroyers and aircraft carriers not participate in the battle for the time being.
Instead, let the super battleship fight against Dongyang’s fleet alone.
In this way, the combat effectiveness and advantages of the super battleship can be better highlighted, allowing the whole world to see the rise of the Yan State Navy.
Of course, Qin Ruihua also took the risk factors into consideration.
To ensure that everything goes smoothly, aircraft carriers and destroyers will still follow behind the super battleships to play a supporting role.
Once an unexpected situation occurs, they will quickly go into battle to ensure the safety of the super battleship.
In addition, Qin Ruihua also asked the navy to arrange cameras to record the entire fierce naval battle so that the results of the victory could be presented to the world.
In a tense and exciting atmosphere, the fleet gradually approached the battlefield.
The soldiers are ready for battle.
On the other hand, the Dongyang Kingdom has a Kongo-class battleship cruising in the waters near the island of Kalimantan.
The battleship is equipped with four twin 356mm main guns and has a full load displacement of over 30,000 tons.
In addition, there are three cruisers and a dozen frigates and destroyers.
However, compared with Yan Country's Zhenguo super battleship, the Kongo-class battleship is simply not worth mentioning.
The full load displacement of the Zhenguo super battleship exceeds 100,000 tons. The total tonnage of all the fleets of Dongyang Kingdom in Kalimantan Island is less than that of the Zhenguo super battleship of Yan Kingdom.
Not only that, the caliber of their main guns is also very different, one is 356 mm and the other is 520 mm.
The Zhenguo super battleship has strong defensive capabilities and will hardly be under any substantial threat as long as it is not attacked by a large number of torpedoes.
The main guns of the Kongo-class battleships were nothing more than minor blows to it.
At this moment, the Dongyang fleet quickly noticed the movements of the Yan fleet.
This fleet was obviously coming towards them, and its actions were undisguised, as if it was demonstrating to them.
Originally, the Yan State Navy wanted to use a sneak attack tactic, which would not only reduce losses but also catch the enemy off guard, but Qin Ruihua rejected this plan.
After all, although a sneak attack can maximize benefits and reduce one's own losses, this is not the result he wants.
What he wanted was to win this naval battle fairly and let the whole world know the strength of Yan State!
At the same time, it will make countries no longer hesitate in choosing between aircraft carriers and battleships.
Let them understand that super battleships will be the dominant force in future naval battles.
On the other side, the commander of the Dongyang Kingdom’s fleet stationed on the island of Kalimantan.
At this moment, they were looking at the scene in front of them in horror - a huge super battleship was slowly approaching them.
This super battleship is simply a mobile steel fortress. Its huge body and heavy armor are intimidating.
The fleet commander was so frightened that his legs went weak and he could hardly stand.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, he was filled with despair.
The two sides are not on the same level at all. The outcome of this battle seems to have been determined before it even started.
At the same time, some soldiers also noticed this super battleship. Their faces instantly turned pale as paper, and some even wet their pants out of fright.
Under this terrifying pressure, their fighting spirit completely collapsed and they only hoped to escape from this terrible battlefield as soon as possible.
Yet, despite his extreme fear, the fleet commander tried to remain calm.
He picked up the radio and asked in a trembling voice: "You have invaded our waters, please leave immediately."
The captain of the Zhenguo super battleship picked up the intercom and responded: "I'm so sorry!"
"May I ask when did the waters of Kalimantan become the territory of your Dongyang country?"
"We in Yan Country didn't agree to that!"
The commander of the Dongyang fleet originally planned to respond strongly, but when he saw the huge and powerful super battleship in front of him.
He had to put aside his arrogance and said in a more moderate tone: "Now Kalimantan has become a colony of our Dongyang Country, so it is naturally the territory of our Dongyang Country."
"And your actions are undoubtedly an infringement of our territorial waters."
"Oh? Just because you claim it as your colony, it really becomes your territory?"
"Have you ever asked for our Yan Nation's opinion?"
"Get out of my way immediately, otherwise we will sink you all without hesitation and leave you to feed the fish in the sea." the captain shouted loudly.
"You know, there is no deep hatred between our two countries, right?"
"So, what is your intention in doing this?" the commander of the Dongyang fleet asked cautiously.
"Humph! Our citizens discovered an oil field in Sabah State, but it was forcibly occupied by your Dongyang Country."
"Return it to our Yan Country immediately, otherwise, we will start a war immediately!" the captain replied angrily.
When the commander of the Dongyang fleet heard what the other party said, he was suddenly filled with confusion and anger.
Because the information about the oil field was extremely confidential, only a very small number of senior officials knew about it.
On the island of Kalimantan, the only people who knew the news were the survey team, the island's supreme commander and him, the fleet commander.
So how did Yan State learn of this news?
What made him feel even more absurd was that Yan State actually claimed that it was their citizens who discovered the oil field.
This is totally a bandit logic!
In fact, apart from the initial dozen or so natives, there were no other citizens of Yan State present here.
It is obvious that Yan State obtained this information through some channel and tried to use it as an excuse to seize the oil field.
The commander of the Dongyang Fleet responded harshly: "This is pure slander!"
"Why don't we find any of your citizens near the oil fields?"
"To put it bluntly, you are here for this oil field. It is absolutely impossible for us to give it up!"
The captain of the Zhenguo super battleship replied contemptuously: "I have already given you a chance. Now, let's start this war!"
As the order was issued, the entire Zhenguo super battleship entered a tense state of combat readiness.
The crew members acted quickly and issued an emergency alert: "First level combat readiness, first level combat readiness."
For a moment, the atmosphere on the bridge became extremely tense, and everyone devoted themselves to battle preparations.
At this time, the commander of the Dongyang fleet tried to communicate with the other party via radio, but found that the other party had refused to receive the information.
However, when he looked around, he found that there were no other warships around except the super battleship.
This made him happy, as he knew very well that he had nearly twenty warships, which gave him an absolute advantage in numbers.
He didn't believe that he couldn't defeat a super battleship, so he decisively issued an order for level one combat preparation.
Under his command, the main guns of nearly twenty warships aimed at the Zhenguo super battleship.
