Eight years is not a long time. The heroic spirits who joined in the past are still young boys, and it is not too short to be short. There are enough interests and the call of the strong. The Northland, which has experienced several defense wars, has completely taken off. .
The distance between the newly born Lan Alliance and the super empire probably needs a war to prove their strength.
This is not a peaceful earth. When everyone knows that jihad is coming, any increase in national strength will naturally be put into the realm of war.
The Northern Land Lan Alliance has made a lot of arms fortune in the past few years, but the most advanced and mature weapons and equipment are always only used by their own people... What? Advanced weapons that have not yet been marked on the battlefield in other regions? Haven't the soldiers of the Lan Alliance ever met
Cough, those new weapons may be seen in a while, maybe never, such as the super goblin death RPG with a range shorter than the blast radius, such as the one that accidentally purchased the unstable goblin fuel. Super flamethrower, it is said that it will BOOM after three seconds of spraying... That thing seems to be called a super bomber, and it is actually purchased by some countries.
Over the years, Lanmeng's military observers, arms dealers, and big engineers have traveled all over the world, and all kinds of weapons and equipment that have passed the actual combat test have been formed one by one, but some things are not bought.
"The new Polaris Fleet is the most advanced floating warship in the entire Lan Alliance. Compared with the first-generation Northern Lights fleet, its hull is longer, the armor is thicker, and the artillery fire is stronger..."
"I know better than you, so I don't need to explain it to me."
After dismissing the gushing engineers, I began to carefully check the ship's data.
New Polaris, the No. 1 Beidou-type mothership, with a captain of 302 meters and a width of 60 meters, twenty magic crystal-charged heavy artillery, four mage towers for the maintenance and protection of the array, one offensive mage tower, and two mounted on the bow of the ship. The super main gun has a maximum range of nearly 30 kilometers, and has a built-in ship warehouse that can accommodate 16 vulture-type four-shaped assault ships, four Hurricane-type 2-shaped cruisers, and forty dwarf Phoenix fighters.
If this doesn't look good, compare the data of the Northern Lights prototype that year, and the difference is obvious.
Aurora Borealis, a super-heavy battleship, with a captain of 243 meters and a width of 40 meters, nine magic crystal rechargeable heavy artillery pieces, seven medium-sized mage towers, one super mage tower, thirty-two small and medium-sized engineering heavy artillery, and a super main gun at the bow of the ship The longest range is nearly 30 kilometers, and the built-in ship warehouse can accommodate three vulture-type assault ships.
The Northern Lights of the year was a prototype carefully developed by the Oran Empire. It was indeed very powerful. It could be used as a powerful gunboat. It also had a mage tower on it to enhance the combat power of the caster. There was also a reserve compartment for small ships. The functions are complete, but in actual combat, many problems have been exposed.
If it is used as a gunboat, the super main gun is powerful enough that even a demigod-level behemoth cannot afford it, but the consumption of mana is not very large, and the energy-deficient mage tower can easily become a decoration, and if it is attacked by an air knight, It can only rely on the engineering cannons removed from the city wall, and the ground cannons are used to hit the air knights, and the poor range and accuracy can be ignored.
And if you launch a surprise attack on the ground, you don't dare to use the main gun casually, and you still have to rely on those engineering artillery. It is simply the battleship version of the ground attack aircraft. It is too dangerous and wasteful.
The prototype of the Northern Lights can be a typical theoretical drawing machine. It looks beautiful and has comprehensive functions. However, it is full of problems when it is used. The battleship, I am afraid it has sunk long ago.
The new Northern Lights is obviously a functional warship.
He gave up the too expensive and impractical large mage tower, but chose the functional protection mage tower as the main task. I am afraid that the main task of the mage accompanying the ship is to provide protection for the warship and maintain various protection spells. That aggressive mage The tower will probably only be activated when the Archmage is in.
Then it completely eliminated the engineering artillery of the backward era. The number of magic crystal rechargeable heavy artillery that can consume magic minerals and gems has doubled. , the power of medium and long-range artillery can be said to be multiplied.
The ground attack and air defense obviously mainly rely on the carrier-based aircraft and offensive ships, and the replacement of the type from the gunboat to the mothership undoubtedly shows that this is its most important combat performance.
And I can see from another source that he actually has nearly 100 griffin knights and 12 aurora knights in it, which undoubtedly shows its determination to strengthen the aerial duel... I am afraid that two dragon knights will also come. was shot down quickly.
The engineers of the Lanmeng League are not stupid. Even if I don't care, they have learned from the actual combat, and they have not hesitated to give up the old ship-based magic group and artillery bombardment, and chose the mothership and the carrier-based aircraft to fight the aircraft carrier. In order to strengthen its air and ground support capabilities, it maximizes the strategic significance of floating warships to the entire battle situation.
"All seven are motherships?"
I remember several ships still under construction at that time, there should be no aircraft carrier models.
"The Beidou models are all air carrier gunships with certain artillery capabilities. The old models are either sold or directly refitted. The new motherships are mainly carrier-based aircraft, and the actual combat has also proved the advantages of this fighting method. , however, due to the limited production capacity of our shipyard, only four of the carrier-based aircraft have been deployed..."
I nodded and didn't even ask the reason. Shipbuilding is a waste of money, and it also requires sufficient industrial, magic, and alchemy foundations. The industrial foundation of the Northland is weak. I am very satisfied with this step. It seems that these years Doing arms business really makes a lot of money.
And after the mothership is made, those assault boats and small fighters will also take time and energy to prepare, which is not a matter of a while.
"Then the other three motherships are empty?"
"No, this time, Her Royal Highness Renee brought dozens of infantry and knight groups, including the Avalanche Chapter and the Silver Cross Knights, as well as the archers and spellcasters of the Northland elves. They will play a role in the landing battle. Function. Then the fleet followed sixteen adult dragons, but they were all young dragons about ten meters in length."
I nodded with satisfaction, at least for now, it sounded more reliable, Renee and her fleet were already in front of us, but the new Northern Lights was sent to pick them up.
As for those giant dragons, as the connection between the Lan Alliance and the Underground Dragon City is getting closer and closer, the black dragons and red dragons in the underground world have become the mercenary soldiers of the Lan Alliance. The ship has a very high degree of fit, is quick to attack, has strong air combat capability and can cast spells, which makes up for the lack of flexibility of the mothership battle group and is very popular with the military.
Of course, the old dragon is still very reserved, and Xiaohong's underground dragon city can't control them. Those little black dragons and young red dragons who have no room (Dragon Cave) and no wife (Caibao Mountain) have no moral integrity. There is also the so-called dignity of the dragon clan. Now that the dragon queen has ordered it, the face is decent and can make money. The intensity of human war is not high for the dragon clan, and the danger to life is less than that of the dragon slayer who robs the house and encounters the dragon slayer, and the income is stable and high. , and a good reputation and honor, why not do it.
"Looks like Renee didn't just come to the rescue this time..."
If it is purely to save people, the battleships are all empty, and it is very convenient to go with people. This person with heavy firepower and powerful fighters naturally intends to fight well.
"Your Majesty said, this is the first head-to-head confrontation of the Holy War, and our Lan Alliance First Fleet will play with style and momentum..."
"... Then the goblins broadcast the whole process, just in time to sell arms?"
The young captain of the new Northern Lights smiled and did not answer, but the silence had proved my guess.
"Has the reduced version of the mothership been mass-produced?"
"... The first one was delivered to Bayer two months ago, but please don't call him a reduced version, this is the commercial version of Bayer."
I smiled and didn't say much. The mothership has a limited carrying capacity and is here to save people. Renee wouldn't be foolish to fill it with elite soldiers. She probably just brought a wing for each type of army. I plan to use the battlefield to collect data and consider the adaptability of the various arms of the Arashi League to face the abyss.
"It's getting more and more decent..."
I sigh a little, maybe Renee is not an almighty queen who is good at handling government affairs, but in the military, the constant victories bring endless honors to the knight princess, and the excellent vision always makes the right and far-sighted choices. Step by step, her reputation became louder and louder, and she vaguely had the prestige of the younger generation of leaders.
"It seems that I really chose an excellent successor."
A day later, the New Northern Lights reunited with the Beidou Fleet, and I saw Renee again, but this time, her situation was a little strange.
