Chapter 856: The Tightrope Walker Cassie Kingdom
Unified fire control seems to be a simple concept, but in fact it is not easy to get it out, at least in terms of the current technical reserves of various countries.
That is, the Krull Kingdom has the confidence to say that it will be done directly, and as for other countries, I don't know when it will be.
Even if it is the Krull Kingdom, they need time to study, and they can't toss it at all without three or five years, and even after three or five years, whether this can be done is a big question.
Therefore, the 300-millimeter and 45-caliber caliber naval guns of the Daheng Empire can be exported, but the top-level unified fire control technology is not exported, and it will not even be mentioned.
Even if an old friend of the Orr Kingdom came to the door, the Great Heng Empire directly denied the existence of such a thing.
Of course, this has begun to build more battleships with main guns, and the absence of advanced equipment such as telephones and firing commanders does not mean that there is no way to carry out unified fire control, but the efficiency is relatively low.
Therefore, whether the Daheng Empire gave the Orlan Kingdom, the Orr Kingdom, or the Mongol Khanate, when they came to purchase new warships, the supporting exports belonged to the artificial fire control system.
The rangefinder or something is bought second-class, the microphone is used for message transmission, and then the distance of each rangefinder is optimized, the information transmission is simplified, and most of the calculations are directly calculated by hand, and the old instruments will also be used, so that unified fire control can barely be achieved.
Even if the efficiency is relatively low, the accuracy is relatively low, and the limitations are relatively large, but this can still be regarded as a unified fire control.
In fact, in addition to the Krull Kingdom, even the Kkel Empire and the Valya Empire are now ready to use this traditional fire control technology. So the Great Heng Empire is chilling to export this thing!
In the seventeenth year of Qiansheng, because of a leaked photo of Quping Military Port, it directly led to the large-scale and comprehensive shift of the Krull Kingdom to the development and construction of unified all-heavy artillery warships, and other countries also quickly followed up, which directly led to the beginning of this year, and the entire Blue Star seemed to have entered the era of unified all-heavy artillery overnight.
In fact, the only one who will have this kind of advanced warship is the Great Heng Empire.
At present, the Daheng Empire has completed and commissioned two Ningyu-class ships, two Zhongluo-class ships, and two Qiping-class ships.
A total of six battleships and battlecruisers were built and put into service.
Of course, there are many more of the same type under construction, and it is expected that two more will be commissioned this year, and four more battleships and battlecruisers will be commissioned next year.
In addition, six 10,000-ton River-class heavy cruisers have been built and are in service, in addition to several improved heavy cruisers on the slipway.
Therefore, the current Daheng Empire is in an absolute lead in the new generation of warships.
And since you have a lead, you naturally have to do something, otherwise it will be a waste......
It happened that there was some turmoil in the Kaxi Kingdom in the south of the Great Heng Empire, so the fleet of the Great Heng Empire ran over to watch.
This time, the Great Heng Empire took advantage of the turmoil within the Cassie Kingdom to completely solve the problem of this Cassie Kingdom.
The Kaxi Kingdom, just in the southwest of the Daheng Empire, because the place where the two countries meet is a huge mountain range, so it is very troublesome from the land, and at the same time, the terrain of the Kaxi Kingdom is not good, the west is close to the Daheng side of the side is mountainous, and the middle hinterland is a desert, only a place in the west is better, but it is also a hilly area.
In the eyes of the Great Heng people, this kind of place is purely barren land, and it is not as good as the Kingdom of Danna, which still has a few small plains in the east and south.
If it weren't for the fact that this place is too scummy and the terrain is too complicated, in the era of pre-loading guns, this Kasi Kingdom would have been destroyed by the Great Heng people, and it would not have remained until now.
However, although the Kingdom of Cassie has always maintained its independence, it is still inevitable that it will be greatly influenced by the Great Heng Empire, and has existed as a vassal state of the Great Heng people for the past few hundred years, and its status is inferior to that of the Kingdom of Danah.
However, after the Heng Ao War, the Great Heng Empire fell into civil strife, and the Olisa Empire began to enter the country and established close relations.
So in recent decades, this Cassie kingdom has been walking on the opposite side of the Great Heng Empire.
————
With the rise of the Great Heng Empire, especially after the outbreak of the Dyna War, the Great Heng Empire directly expelled the Orissa Empire from the Dyna Kingdom and completely controlled the region, and the Kasi Kingdom also began to save itself.
How can I help myself?
Naturally, it is far away from the Olisa Empire, and it is actively moving closer to the Daheng Empire!
But after all, the Kassi Kingdom has not undergone the baptism of cruel war, and it has not directly hugged the thighs of the Great Heng people as simply and directly as the Kingdom of Danah, and is willing to be the little brother.
On the one hand, this Cassie Kingdom hugged the thighs of the Great Heng people, and on the other hand, it tried to continue to use the aspects of the Orissa Empire and even the Krull Kingdom to resist the continuous influence of the Great Heng Empire.
In this case, the Daheng Empire was naturally dissatisfied, but the Daheng Empire was too lazy to deal with them before, so it turned a blind eye to their small actions.
And the competition of various countries in the Kasi Kingdom has also made the Kasi Kingdom form a number of factions, and its royal family is a firm Daheng faction, although their royal family is not a descendant of the Daheng people, but it also relied on the Daheng people to ascend to the throne more than two hundred years ago.
After the end of the First Heng-Austrian War, the power of the Olissa Empire began to enter the country, and the royal family of the Cassie Kingdom was forced to give up most of its power and adopt a constitutional monarchy, and the royal family became a symbolic royal family.
Therefore, the royal family is very dissatisfied with the Olisa Empire, and at the same time they also want to restore the power of the royal family, of course, their country has implemented a constitutional monarchy for decades, and this cannot be changed, but it can still be done to restore a certain amount of power.
At the same time, the country's current prime minister and some high-level generals belong to the neutral faction, firmly implementing bilateral policies, that is, not only moving closer to Daheng, but also maintaining friendly relations with the Olisa Empire, to put it bluntly, they want to walk a tightrope and take advantage of the two great powers.
In addition, some of their civil and military key is the Orissa faction, they are naturally inclined to the Olisa Empire, and many of them have defected to the Krull Kingdom, and they oppose getting too close to the Great Heng Empire.
This internal contradiction is mixed with their internal economic interests, for example, there is a split in their business circles.
For example, the merchants who are engaged in light industries such as textiles and other industries in the Cassie Kingdom, they don't like to bring a piece with the Great Heng people, if they are too close to the Great Heng people and directly open a market with each other, they will be directly finished.
