Future Shock (Initial Project)

Vol. 3 Chapter 11

—~~—~~—Alcyon Sea, South of Pluvimia—~~—~~—

The Cruiser 'Response' (Based in the Baltimore-class) steams slowly at 20 knots toward the position 1st Naval Blockade Fleet, Followed by 2 Zerstörer 1 Destroyers; 'Elbe' & 'Rhine'. And a single (and the first of its class) Hamburg-class Destroyer, The 1st Naval Blockade Fleet was considered balance, but their standard ships or on the very edge of strongest, all ships were 80-gunned, 40 cannons on either side.

"Steadily Approaching The Fleet, Bearing 30°."

"I see 'em."

"Remember to keep our distance, Magic exists here, keep in mind they may have a secret weapon on the ships which might have a far range."

"But maybe their black powder Supply placement is parallel?"

———

"Hey, did you see that?"

"See what?"

"That light, I saw a bright flash of-"

Just then a loud reverberating boom, traversed the sea.

—BOOM

A strengthened Ship was reduced to Wooden planks, the High-explosive Shell already decimated the ship on impact, which also caused the black powder supply to cause secondary explosions.

"W-what!?"

"What was that!? Did anyone see where that came from!?"

"...U-Uh... I-I-I think Over there! I see three objects in the distance! T-They are quite small!"

"Small specks!? How could that even-" one of the captains doubted, and pulled out a naval telescope, only for him to stop talking as he looks through the lens.

"Captain, what's wrong!?"

"Th-... They are... They are so Far away!" He yelled, the Hamburg's Gun's Practical range is approximately 12 Kilometres, while the Zerstorer's maximum was 16, The ships themselves were 10 kilometres Away.

In contrast to the naval guns of this world having a (Maximum, not effective) range of about 440 yards (402.3 Meters)
Just then more flashes occur in the distance at a faster pace as all three ships begin opening Fire, totalling up to 17 followed by the respective number of ships being reduced to Planks.

"What!? What is this!? What Speed!" The captain could only scream both in confusion, horror, and disbelief, as ships continue to to get pummelled.

"Abandon Ship!" The Captain eventually ordered.

"What!? But...! I'm sure we can beat them!"

"From this distance!? Don't make me laugh! I rarely laugh, either way!" He said, before a shell struck the Bridge area of the ship, sending the majority of the remaining crew on deck into oblivion.

The casualties continue to stack, as the first naval continues to be decimated by a practically untouchable force from this distance. With the rate of fire of the Hamburg-class' DCN-100mm/L55 guns at 78 rounds per minute, in comparison to the rate of fire of the Newport News' 8"/55 Mark 16 guns, and the 5"/38 Deck Guns of the Zerstorers, The Hamburg compared to the three other ships sends the staggering majority of Fire.

——Imperial Cut-Off Territory——

A Group Of Three Me-262 Jet Squadrons were piercing through imperial territory, their target Five Fortresses, It Is fortune that the Fortresses are mostly there for information purposes it's information from the prisoners and Andrea. Matthew respects the common sense of the empire for being cautious of spies, instead of being arrogant.
A number of them are the a-2d variants (A Directorate modification) armed for bombing purposes, carrying two 600 kg bombs each, while the other two are for deterring aerial threats, armed with 24 rockets.
