C901 The power of the whip (2/2)
Is Prussian crazy? Just a few years after fighting a Poo War, you want to go to war with France? Please, don't joke with me. We believe in a few small conflicts at the border, but a national war? Haha, let me laugh for a while...
It was this absolute trust in peace that had led to the current general relaxation of the preparations for war in the countries of the continental Europe, with only one Prussian in arms, which was also an important determinant of Prussia's miracles in history.
If changing into a rifle would result in heavy resistance, then what about changing into a Iron-armored Ship? How much would that cost? How much resistance would he encounter? Politicians have to think about these things, and that is the huge difference between politicians and military men.
Molière was laughing maniacally, and that was right. He was laughing maniacally, but it was not insanity, but an epiphany like the old monk being determined. Before he gave up commanding the warships, he handed all the batons over to General Bruce.
One of the aide-de-camp was at the stern of the ship, while the one controlling the two cameras was recording the figure of the Zhiyuan Warship from different angles, while Molière himself climbed onto the tall main mast, squeezed together with lookout hand, and started sketching with the pencil in his hand.
This era's photography skills weren't mature yet. Even the still photos were a bit blurry, let alone the battle scenes in motion. Hence, the photos would always be an aid. The most reliable ones were the pencils in the hands of the speed painters.
Amidst the rumbling sounds of the cannon, Molière's pencils were drawing on the white paper, making Wandering Dragon while mumbling something incomprehensible in his mouth. lookout hand, who was watching at the side, was stunned, he never thought that the commander would actually have this kind of ability.
”Mysterious Chinese Iron-armored Ship, the battleship's main cannons are of two sets, and its tail is a single unit … The visual caliber is between 180 mm and 200 mm... ”Artillery's central axis can easily cover up to 360 degrees of fire...”
”As long as the battleship is in the right position, the three main cannon of the large caliber can fire at any direction … Every single explosion was earth-shattering. It can be imagined how spectacular it would be if three cannons, which should have been placed on the port's cannon, were transferred to the Iron-armored battleship and fired at the same time … ”
”The Iron-armored battleship s of the Chinese people are about 75 to 80 meters in length and 12 to 13 meters wide. There were no sails, the two masts on the ship were just there to give the lookout hand a platform to observe. In the middle of the ship, there was a thick chimney … ”
Molière continued to draw while muttering to himself, he was using his own expertise to analyze all the data on Zhiyuan Warship. He had already made up his mind, Glory and Pious Numbers could be sacrificed, but he and this information could not be sacrificed.
”As long as this information can return to Europe, so what if I lose four warships?” I don't care, I don't care about anything... Battleship can be sacrificed, so can these thousands of soldiers, but my life and this information cannot be sacrificed, absolutely not! ”
”Every data set of this naval battle must be sent back to Europe. The slaps must be made on the dignity of all Europeans. ”Only by doing this can we make those politicians make up their minds to replace those politicians and upgrade their weapons …”
”Otherwise, the whole of Europe would have turned into sheep under Prussia's and China's whips. I, Molière, must expose Xiao Letian's evil scheme!”
