C886 British Merchant Shipping Mist (1/2)
”Mr. Kevin, please think of something. We are not homicidal maniacs … ”This is a national war, an unavoidable war. We are building up the bricks for the final victory …”
”Put away that untimely kindness in your heart! I know you have noble morals, and you are proud of the nobility, but don't you want Prussia to be rid of its former shame? ”If you take my shame, don't take it to heart …”
”Oh, we understand. You're just like those pedantic and hypocritical scholars of our Qing Empire, calling out 'distant chef', saying 'can't bear to see a cow or sheep die', and 'unrighteous meat' at the same time …”
”Hypocritical. I finally understand that you only want the glory of Prussia's victory, and you don't want to be stained with the enemy's blood.”
The group of young officers on the Zhiyuan Warship were trying to persuade the engineer and vice Captain Kevin. This stubborn Prussian aristocrat was simply too difficult to serve.
It took him a while to untie the knot in his heart, and then he was furious about the British merchant ship. Of the thirteen merchant ships, twelve were French, and one was the unlucky British.
The Atlantic Golden Path could not only be used by French ships. Merchant ships from all over Europe could freely sail through, so the southern route of the Zhiyuan Warship was a very cautious one.
The five scissor boat s were separated by five miles and formed a big human shape. The Zhiyuan Warship s were hidden there, and the scissor boat s were sometimes flying the American flag, and sometimes flying the British, French, and even Dutch Portugal flags.
When they encountered a Prussian merchant ship, the fleet would go to great lengths to purchase some goods and materials, demanding that they be kept strictly confidential. If they encountered ships from other neutral countries, such as the United States or Italy, they would also purchase some goods and materials properly, but they would absolutely not let the Chinese show their faces.
If they encountered ships from the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Holland, the fleet would immediately distance themselves from them.
Only the French Merchant Shipping were the fat sheep to be trained in, and God clearly protected them a lot.
At first, Zhiyuan Warship didn't want to attack this merchant ship, but coincidentally, when the fog broke into everyone's line of sight, the Zhiyuan Warship was engaged in a massacre at sea. The merchant ship that was destroyed by the main cannon had already sunk, and the sea was filled with corpses and wreckage, while the sailors were shooting at the survivors one by one with their rifles.
Although it was very cruel, but in order to keep it a secret, they had no other choice.
Seeing this, the Fog Du ship immediately turned around and fled. How could the Zhiyuan Warship let him escape?
The distance between the Zhiyuan Warship and the Fog Du was more than five kilometers. This was a rare live shooting exercise, where the maximum range of the Zhiyuan Warship's main cannon was eight kilometers.
Right now was an opportunity to accumulate experience in long-range shooting. Zhiyuan Warship controlled the speed of the ship and began training in long-range shooting at a distance of five kilometers.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The dull main cannon shot rang across the Atlantic, and like a frightened little girl, the Fog Du ran helplessly under the pursuit of the pervert.
Sometimes, the splash from the explosion was very close by, only thirty to forty meters away from the side of the ship. Sometimes, the splash from the explosion was at least three to four hundred meters away.
