Under the blue sea and blue sky, seventy warships are sailing on the sea.
On the mast of the battleship, the national flags of three different countries are hunting under the blowing of the sea breeze.
On the British flagship that led the team, a general in a black navy dovetail uniform was using a binoculars to observe a battleship in front of him that was smoking black smoke.
Not long ago, they encountered this battleship, and immediately, the battleship began to flee towards Dengzhou of Dayu State, and soon left them behind.
"Is this the new-style warship of Da Yu? It is indeed shocking." Wilson put down his binoculars, frowning deeply.
The middle-aged Congressman Dick next to him, upon hearing this, he said:
I have to say that this time the House made a stupid decision. What should we do now? Obviously, we have been discovered. If the number is large enough, we will have nowhere to escape and be sunk by them one by one.
Don’t be so pessimistic about Dick, this time we are using a new type of shells, which will send them to hell.
Wilson is right now The strength of the fleet is very confident.
Just last month, a batch of brand-new artillery shells were sent from the British mainland. After the experiment, his confidence increased a lot. With the same weapons, he believed that the British warships could defeat the Great Chongqing fleet with their rich experience. .
"It's just that they also have this kind of cannonball that can send us to hell." Dick is not as optimistic as Wilson. He just arrived in India from the UK and participated in the attack plan.
In order to destroy the naval force of Great Chongqing in one fell swoop, Queen Vidomeya even ceded a part of South American colonies to Spain in exchange for their support this time.
The reason why Vidomija and the House would rather pay such a price to destroy the Great Yu State fleet is all due to their fear of Great Yu State.
After discussion in the House, they finally decided to launch this dangerous operation, because as long as the country’s navy is destroyed or severely damaged, the country will not be able to colonize overseas, nor will it be able to attack Europe in a short time. .
In this way, they have precious time to absorb the technology of the Great Yu country. For this reason, Vidomija even interviewed the president of the secret association and asked all the technical talents in the association to participate in the research of the actual technology they obtained.
Wilson frowned. "Dick, did they send you here to speak frustratingly? The warships of the Great Yu Kingdom have appeared in Europe with the Dutch merchant ships. This is intolerable for us, understand? Otherwise, do you think why the French are willing to cooperate with us? This is our interest in Asia. The country of Great Chongqing cannot arbitrarily ruin everything we have built over the past century. ""Sorry, I just told the truth, but I am not afraid It has always been my belief that the cost of destroying British enemies and paying the price of my life for it has always been my belief, but this time I am here not purely for war. If we cannot win, we will try to destroy their shipyards and take them. The warships even robbed some workers instead of just sending them to death.
Dick said with a serious face.
Wilson stared at Dick and gradually calmed down. He said, "I'm not a fool. I'll react accordingly."
"This is the best." Dick looked to the northwest. From a distance, they could already see the outline of Dengzhou City.
At the same time, the Great Yuguo battleship in front of the combined fleet was heading towards the Dengzhou naval port at full capacity, and Yue Yun took away most of the battleships while heading south.
Today, there are only twenty-four battleships docked in the military port, including one giant first-class sailing warship, two second-class large sailing warships, nine third-class warships and twelve hybrid warships.
"hurry up!"
In the boiler room of the battleship, the soldiers are trying their best to feed coal into the bottom of the boiler. Under the heat of the flame, the steam enters the steam engine along the pipe and drives the propeller to rotate continuously.
Under the strong power, the warship shuttled quickly across the sea.
On the deck, Li Wei and the adjutant were staring at the huge fleet being left behind. At this time, the two of them looked solemn and frowned.
"There are a total of 70 ships. They came to Dengzhou this time because they were definitely not good. They probably took the opportunity to attack our military port. It's just a pity that they didn't escape our routine patrols in the end." The adjutant thought.
"Britain, France, Spain, these are all powers in the West. It seems that they are crazy in order to prevent the rise of Great Chongqing." Li Wei looked hard at the battleships that were chasing them.
"It is estimated that they are desperate this time, or if they destroy their navy in Asia, from then on, our Great Chongqing Navy will have no rivals in Nanyang."
"Yes, since they are here, we will have a good time with them this time. Even if there is only one warship, the Navy of Da Yu will fight to the end."
Li Wei said firmly.
When the two were talking, the speed of the battleship increased significantly. After an hour, they arrived at the military port smoothly, but the combined fleet still had half an hour to reach here.
After making an emergency stop at the dock, Li Wei immediately sent his adjutant to ring the warning bell on the dock.
"Boom boom boom..."
The hurried bell rang throughout the military port, and the soldiers of Great Yu State who heard this sound quickly rushed out of the barracks and went straight to their respective warships.
At the same time, the semaphore communicates information to other warships on the mast through the semaphore.
The soldiers quickly understood what was going on?
"British!"
Xie Yuan and Ding Chang looked surprised after reading the semaphore. "Great ~EbookFREE.me~ The last time we were attacked by these grandsons at sea, we almost sank the ship, and now we can finally get revenge." There was a trace of madness in Xie Yuan's eyes.
He was shot by the British in the thick fog, but he always remembered it as a humiliation.
Originally, Yue Yun asked him to stay in the military port and he was still a little unwilling. Now the gloom in his heart dissipated. He said to Ding Chang: "Let all the coastal defense soldiers enter the fort, and the warships let the channel open to see if they have seeds."
"Yes." Ding Chang immediately asked the soldiers to play a semaphore.
The soldiers who were ordered quickly entered the fortresses in the arc-shaped bay. These fortresses were all made of reinforced concrete, and the fortresses were not open-air shapes, but were domed fortresses. The outer walls of the fortresses reserved hollow spaces through which artillery passed. The reserved space aimed the muzzle at the harbor.
In the fort, boxes of shells are neatly arranged, and there are enough shells to cope with emergencies.
Watching the soldiers quickly enter the fort, Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had already made all the sailing warships shoot, and the remaining twelve hybrid warships were ordered out of the harbour by him, seeking opportunities to destroy the enemy warships with their power advantage. .
