C402 water ghost! water ghost! (2/2)

Jin Sanshun and Lin Zhen were already so excited that they couldn't find the north anymore. They were the first people to propose making water mines with earth quality, and to be able to achieve such a great result just from thinking about it, they were already excited enough.

”Shoot …” Kill these large nose … Don't forget that this is a weapon donated by our King Family! ”

”Shoot, everyone shoot, the idea that I, Lin Zhen, have came up with is really useful. If I say we can blow up, then we can blow up …”

”Lin Zhen, shut up. I was the one who thought of this!”

”Bullshit, I thought of that first. Furthermore, I stole the Flintlock from the experiment lab …”

”Bullshit, the glass in the laboratory was smashed by me!”

These two treasures unexpectedly still had the mood to quarrel at this time. This brought a somewhat relaxed smile to the incomparably desolate battlefield.

When all the soldiers and militia jumped back into the trenches, the French also weakened their charge, charging up from the ground. Furthermore, the defenders had the trenches, and their own side had lost its artillery cover. This kind of suicide attack was not what the French wanted.

Although these commanders and soldiers were very angry, they still strictly followed the military iron law. Throwing away the dozen or so corpses, they shot alternately, covering each other as they retreated back into the Guotou Village.

The battle was over. Both parties were in the process of licking their wounds. The Treadmill was slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. The sight of its corpse and junk lying on the surface of the sea was shocking to behold.

The Shattered Waves had also lost its ability to fight. After the overturning power from just now, all the cannons and sundries in the ship had shifted, and many of the gunner s were killed by the moving cannons.

The cries of the injured could be heard on the deck and in the cabin, along with the cries of the weak. In such a chaotic situation, let alone fighting, it was probably impossible for them to even protect themselves.

If the Ryukyu were to send out a group of navy men, they would be able to capture the ship even if it was the most primitive kind of close combat sailors.

Xiang Ying who was in the north mountain trench also saw the clues. He stood on the highest reef with his binoculars and looked at the Shattered Waves that was slowly spinning on the surface of the sea.

”How nice would it be if we had a battleship in our hands right now? What if he had a few hundred brave sailors? As long as we rush up to the bow, we can capture this battleship... Damn it, damn it! ”

Just as Xiang Ying was patting his thighs anxiously, from the west side of the ocean, which was the left side of the trench, the sound of a melodious horn sounded out. That sound was so familiar that even the little beauty Cai Bixia could hear it.

”Our navy! It was my father's navy! ”They're finally here …”

Yes, it was not that Ryukyu Kingdom did not have a navy, but during this year and more, Xiao Letian had allocated countless resources and bought ten small scissor boat s, then asked the American Engineer to make them into battleships.

Xiao Letian and Cai Mao never thought that these ten battleships could be used on the battlefield, because these ten small sized scissor boat s that were left behind were not even qualified to be merchant ships.

Although he could not use it in battles, he still had a lot of money to be a training ship. Xiao Letian knew that a navy did not come from nowhere, nor was it something that you could just spend money on to buy the best warships.

The navy had always been a game for the elites. Without three or four years of training, a qualified Sailor could forget about getting promoted. Also, the gunner had to fire six or seven hundred rounds of artillery shells before they could board the battleship.

Captain, first mate, second mate, third mate, pilot, pilot's assistant, superintendent, operator, boatswain, one water, two water, carpenters, cooks … There are many types of skilled workers on the warship that you can't even imagine.

If the Iron-armored Ship were to enter the array in the future, there would be even more technical positions to be filled. Chief Engineer, Large Pipe Wheel, Two Pipe Wheel, Three Pipe Wheel, Turbine Assistant, Motor Engineer, Machine Master, Machine Craftsman... Even gas and pincers had to be equipped.

With such a shortage of talents that could not be trained in a day, the ten scissor boat s only had one goal, which was to train more talents.

General Cai Mao was very clear on how strong the training ship could be, so the moment the battle had just started, he had ordered the fleet to head north and hide in the reef area of the northern seas.

This reef area was located right between the Naha Harbor and himself. This was the place where small-sized ships swam, and this was where the heavy ships lived.

If not for the fact that Xiang Ying, Cai Bixia and the others personally showed up at the most critical moments, these ten battleships would not have been moved at all by anyone.

During their journey to the north, when they were passing by a small path on the Northern Mountain's cliff, it was precisely Cai Bixia, who had the sharpest eyes, who discovered the traces of the fleet. It was also at her request that three out of the ten scissor boat s came to support the Guodan Sea.

Who said that the second generation officials were popinjays? In this war of defense for the Ryukyu, Xiang Ying and a few other officials made a great contribution.
