Chapter 873: Concerns Caused by a Bombardment
seaside.
Walking along the road in the manor, although the road starts to become dilapidated as the distance increases, the surrounding scenery is quite beautiful.
Wichita was walking forward with his companions, chatting. Although he realized that the destination ahead of them was most likely damaged due to disrepair, this was not a problem for Wichita.
It was the first time she had seen such a magnificent manor, and she could even live in it. Although the battle was also very interesting, she still felt proud to see her commander get a free manor as soon as he came to the royal family, and her already lively personality became even more nagging.
Although the others felt helpless about this, no one interrupted her. After all, everyone was equally happy.
"Well, since the road here is broken, that means the port is probably broken too, right? Will the commander rebuild it?"
"I think so, right? If we have a small port of our own, it will be much more convenient for us to go out and play."
Neptune on the side responded to Wichita's words cheerfully. As a ship girl who couldn't sit still, she had to stay in a place where no outsiders could see her until her existence and identity were allowed to be exposed by Yang Sikang. This was somewhat boring for Neptune.
The monarch was traveling with them, and she followed because she had nothing to do.
The maids were busy checking and cleaning the main house, while Akashi, Yubari and Ingraham, who were doing research, were taking a group of people around to help them look for a suitable room. Most of the others were doing other things, but she seemed to have nothing to do.
Anyway, idle is idle.
Suddenly, the commander's voice was heard in the communication channel.
"Monarch, are you with Wichita and the others?"
"Yes, I'm heading with Wichita and the others to... uh, the small fishing port that is most likely broken."
"No need for high probability. I just confirmed from the royal family that the fishing port has been in bad condition for many years because no one has taken care of it. If nothing unexpected happens, the road should be rotten by now after decades of no one taking care of it, right?"
The monarch lowered his eyes to look at the gravel and moss mixed on the road ahead and replied:
"almost."
"Okay, let's change your mission. Once you get to that small fishing port, collect some samples, and then... destroy it."
The monarch was about to agree directly, but suddenly stopped and asked:
"How to break it?"
She already had an answer in her mind, and then Yang Sikang said:
"Just use your main gun to smash it. It's just a small fishing port that is only used by small fishing boats offshore. Destroy it with all your strength and leave the traces for the royal people to investigate slowly."
The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a curve, and the monarch's voice was filled with a bit of joy as he replied:
"Ok, I see."
More than ten minutes later, huge roars and explosions sounded on the seashore and quickly spread to the port area not far away.
However, before the port defense team could take any action, news from Guanghui stopped their actions, and the team responsible for clearing the ruins soon set out from the port, and everything went in an orderly manner.
However, when they arrived at the scene, the situation was far beyond their expectations.
When battleships are able to strike the ground, their large-caliber main guns symbolize justice compared to the weapons commonly used by infantry or even tanks.
Naturally, all camps have sufficient knowledge of the effectiveness of battleships' large-caliber main guns in attacking ground targets.
However, the scene before them, the ruins that seemed to have been evaporated, the exaggeratedly huge craters, and the high temperature that remained in the surroundings, all proved the powerful destructive power of the main gun that attacked here.
The cleanup team did not hesitate for long. They quickly collected information about the scene, took video footage, left samples, and then quickly cleaned up the ruins.
Although such a scene should not be cleaned up before the research is completed according to procedure, there are always exceptions.
They didn't say much or ask many questions. They just finished their work quickly and left.
As for this place...it has been destroyed to such an extent that it is simply not something that they can clean up.
After returning to the port, they went to report according to the normal procedure, but they met Guanghui and the Prince of Wales directly in the reporting office.
Although they had just returned, the Prince of Wales still rushed over because the previous explosion made her a little confused.
Isn't that power a bit too great?
If it is the Garden in Yang Sikang's fleet or those South Dakota-class battleships, their 406mm caliber main guns are indeed very powerful.
However, the two sides had a lot of exchanges in terms of exercises and training, and the Prince of Wales was quite familiar with the characteristics of their main guns. Generally speaking, there would not be such a huge roar and explosion that seemed to be deliberately boasting just now.
The explosion was so exaggerated that it made her curious about who would do such a thing?
"Lady Glorious, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales!"
The two staff members who came to report saluted quickly, but the Prince of Wales immediately said:
"No need to be so polite, just report your findings normally."
The two of them quickly explained the whole story and submitted the relevant information and data. After the report, they were allowed to leave, but the Prince of Wales frowned.
She knew clearly the firepower of the battleships in Yang Sikang's fleet. Although they were all very powerful, the situation of this attack was a bit strange.
"Wales, what's the problem?"
"Yes, and it's quite big."
The Prince of Wales' response surprised Guanghui a little, and then she saw the Prince of Wales handing her some photos.
"Look at this."
"There is indeed something wrong with this feature and this parameter..."
"This is not the result of the White Eagle's 406 main gun."
The Prince of Wales said seriously:
"The characteristics of this crater are more similar to the effect of our Royal Army's main guns. Although the crater was seriously affected by the situation at the time, this point is definitely correct."
Guanghui nodded.
Her understanding of the battleship's main guns was more one-sided, certainly not as much as the Prince of Wales, and she did not see as many details, but she believed in the Prince of Wales' judgment.
"But, as I recall, there shouldn't be any Royal Navy girls of this level in his fleet, right?"
"King George V and Howe were with me just now, so it definitely wasn't them. And the caliber of the main guns we use at this level shouldn't produce this kind of effect."
The Prince of Wales pondered for a moment and sighed:
"The worst case scenario is that Commander Yang secretly built one of our royal battleships without our knowledge."
Guanghui couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then he began to mutter with some worry.
"Could it be... Rodney or Nelson?"
