MTL - Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony-Chapter 1213 return from voyage
Chapter 1213 Return from a long voyage
On June 25, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao's fleet experienced a sea encounter at the southernmost cape of the Central Continent. Unfortunately, the entire encounter ended as soon as it started.
Even though the enemy is God's Chosen player lord of God's Choice Alliance, they are not equipped with new firearms. After several rounds of salvos from the vanguard warships of the Yi Gong Territory, they left behind wreckage of warships and fallen soldiers all over the sea.
Qu Mao got the reason to go to war with the Pengda Principality after returning to the territory of Yi Gong, Fuer Swamp got the victory of sinking the enemy warship, and Sir Mrak salvaged a batch of warships when the warship passed through the combat area. As prisoners of war, enemy soldiers who fell into the water are also military exploits.
The entire encounter was tantamount to a unilateral massacre at sea. A God's Chosen player lord who faced God's Choice lost more than 600 warships, and the total number of enemy prisoners of war salvaged by Sir Mrak was barely more than 500, and the combat sea area is at least 60 kilometers away from the coastline. Those enemy naval fighters who fell into the water will most likely be buried in the sea.
An encounter, in Qu Mao's understanding, ended before it even started. From this, it seems that Fuer Swamp said that he would use 100 super warships to wipe out the enemy's total of more than 1,500 warships. The blind confidence in the strength of the public territory's navy, but the combat power of the Yigong territory's naval warships is indeed far superior to that of the enemy's warships.
It is also true that whether it is a flowering bomb or a conventional artillery shell, the firing range of the new rear-loading artillery can reach more than 2 kilometers, while the attack range of traditional warships is only 500 meters, which is more than four times the range advantage. In addition, a ballista is not enough to destroy a warship, but a conventional shell can cause devastating damage to a super warship.
The warships in the territory of Yi Gong completely crushed the enemy warships in terms of range and lethality.
Qu Mao didn't want to affect his itinerary because of this matter, so after defeating the enemy fleet in front, Qu Mao ordered Fuer Swamp to take the fleet directly to the direction of Yi Gong's territory, and Sir Liamrak wanted to salvage As for the enemy prisoners of war, Qu Mao only allowed the fleet to slow down slightly.
During the ensuing voyage, although Qu Mao's fleet also encountered a sea storm, they did not encounter such an exaggerated sea storm when they came. Although the sea storm also brought some troubles to Qu Mao's fleet, it did not bring casualties to ships or personnel, and Qu Mao felt that it was not a particularly serious matter.
On July 9, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao's fleet finally crossed the twin islands midway again and entered the sphere of influence of Yi Gong's territory.
Sir Mrak and Fuer Swamp actually suggested that Qu Mao stop at the Twin Islands halfway and resupply for a while, and then continue to return to the Holy Land of Yigong Territory. However, after thinking about it, Qu Maosi decided to return directly to Yigong Territory, without stopping at Midway Twin Islands.
Being able to see the Twin Islands halfway meant that the magic communication crystals distributed by the heroes of the Yi Gong Territory were ready for communication, so Fuer Swamp told Kong Ming about Qu Mao’s itinerary.
On the morning of July 10th, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao's fleet finally returned to Yidao Military Port, the Holy Land of Yigong Territory. After learning the news, Kong Ming and Xuande were already waiting at the pier of Yidao Military Port.
Qu Mao hadn’t seen Kong Ming and Xuande for a long time. Seeing them standing on the pier, he jumped off the deck of the warship and stood in front of Kong Ming and Xuande.
Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said, "My lord, you have worked hard after returning from a long voyage. The subordinates welcome you back to the Holy Land. This trip has lasted for nearly three months. I think my lord has had a hard journey, but at the same time, the harvest will not be too little."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "It's okay, I don't feel how hard it is.
Now the 50 transport ships are all filled with oil and crude oil. I got them back from the Fulu Principality. Later, these 50 transport ships will sail directly to the outlying islands and unload at the civilian docks outside the North and South Li villages. Kong Ming, you will arrange the outlying islands at that time. The personnel of the Power Research Institute went to receive the batch of crude oil, which was a bit too much. "
Kong Ming was so excited that the goose feather fan accidentally dropped to the ground, hurriedly picked up the goose feather fan, and said repeatedly: "My lord, thank you very much. Haha, my lord, our Yigong territory really needs oil and crude oil. If there are rubber samples, it will be even better." alright.
Haha, my lord, what can you tell your subordinates to say? The crude oil samples provided by the residents of the Outlying Island Power Research Institute are running low, and you just brought back a large amount of crude oil.
Recently, in the refining and separation experiments of petroleum crude oil, researchers have been timid, and they dare not speed up the research progress, for fear of consuming all the crude oil samples.
With the batch of crude oil provided by you, my lord, my subordinates believe that the research on the refining and application of crude oil by the Outlying Island Power Research Institute can speed up..."
Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Kong Ming, who was not talking well, and said, "Kong Ming, hurry up and urge the researchers to speed up their research. In the future, crude oil samples will be supplied regularly."
Xuande asked: "My lord, during the nearly three months of going to the Western Continent, do you have any other gains? For example, it can speed up the transformation of our military technology..."
Qu Mao said: "Xuande, you can communicate with Fuer Swanpu later, when we passed the southernmost cape of the Central Continent, we were attacked by the God's Chosen player lord forces of the God's Choice Alliance.
During the entire encounter, the application effect of the rear-pocketed artillery in naval battles was completely beyond my expectations.
At the beginning, Fuer said that more than 1,500 warships would be wiped out. I thought it was bragging, but after the entire encounter, our army only had 100 ships without any losses, and the enemy paid the price of sinking more than 600 warships at least. .
You can communicate with Fuer more to see if there is room for optimization. "
Fuer Swamp also got off the super warship and said to Xuande: "Master Xuande, get in touch with the researchers of the Firearms Research Institute as soon as possible: the aiming equipment of the rear-loading artillery is very imprecise and needs to be further improved. Otherwise, many of our shells will be wasted."
Xuande said: "I will go to Twin Islands halfway to deal with this problem later. My lord has just returned from a long voyage. Let me rest for a day, and we will discuss it later."
Qu Mao said: "It's really hard work. Today is July 10. Tomorrow morning, let Xinping, Mengde, Zhongmou, Silta Delta and other heroes go to the second floor of the lord's cabin for a meeting.
I also want to know about the various things that have happened in our Yigong territory during the nearly three months since I left. I can’t let me go out for two or three months, and nothing happened at home. "
Kong Ming smiled and said: "My lord, this is not the case. You go back to the lord's cabin to rest first, and we will go to the meeting on time at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
