C1249 Huangsha Manchu Capital (1/2)
The one who rushed over from the south was the communication ship dispatched by the vice-commander Venia. The small scissor boat rode the wind and waves at the fastest speed possible to catch up with the Main fleet.
”Reporting, sir! We are already fighting off the enemy ships in the northern seas of Taiwan Island. This is the battle report sent by the Venia Commander. ” The weary soldier saluted and carried in both hands the wax-sealed file bag.
EdStefanski used his paper knife to pry open the wax seal, and when he looked at the letter, he immediately became ecstatic. He glanced at Molière and said, ”You guessed it right, although this battleship is powerful, it's a pity that it's just an experimental ship!”
The letter was handed over to Molière. It briefly reported the battle situation after separating and also highlighted the sudden boiler failure of the Zhiyuan Warship.
”In the evening, the speed of the enemy ship suddenly decreased. Soon after, black smoke began to billow from the chimney, and there were faintly panicked sailors running on the deck … After that, we continued our suppression of the enemy ship, all the way until the sky turned completely dark, the black smoke of the Zhiyuan Warship was still present, and our speed had yet to recover … ”
”I can guarantee that the Zhiyuan Warship encountered a boiler failure. Although it will not lose its power, it will definitely lose power! Currently, the Zhiyuan Warship's speed has been hovering between 9 and 10 sections... ”Our ship has now left the battle, and is searching north for you. We are safe …”
Molière let out a long breath and passed the letter over to the other officers. After everyone finished reading, everyone felt relieved, ”Venia's judgement cannot be wrong, his understanding of the steam power system is much deeper than ours, his analysis is trustworthy …”
Everyone's eyes were focused on the commander in chief. EdStefanski could understand everyone's eyes, he knew that the Expeditionary forces needed a moderate amount of victory to recover, and the empire needed the gold to survive the financial crisis.
”Alright, pass my order, the fleet will advance at full speed, prepare for battle …” I'll bring you guys to snatch the gold! ”
”Wu La!” The command cabin was filled with cheers, the defeat during the day was swept away. From this moment on, the Russian fleet was split into two, and without hesitation, he rushed towards Xiao Letian's trap.
The Beijing in spring was not a very likeable season. Although the blooming of flowers in spring was very pleasing to the eyes, the imperial city at the foot of the Yan Mountain was affected by the sandstorm every year, especially in spring.
Early in the morning, Beijing's sky had already turned yellow as if it was wrapped in yellow paper. The sun hung on the horizon and emitted a yellow light, looking extremely weak and dispirited.
The dust in the air was increasing, and the breeze from the northwest was filled with the smell of earth.
The guards and soldiers inside the Forbidden City were all covered in yellow sand, making them look like clay statues from afar. All the people walking around the Forbidden City had their necks pulled tightly on their sleeves to prevent the dirt from drilling into them.
Around 8 in the morning, the military plane, Zhang Jing Li Tuo, brought his own basket and entered the imperial city from the left wing of the Five Phoenix Restaurant. As he drew his waist up, he quickly rushed to the Military Intelligence Service like a prawn.
Just as he walked past the Supreme Harmony Hall plaza, the sound of intense footsteps came from behind him. Turning around, he saw that it was an old acquaintance of his, the zingiberis radix who had drunk wine with Yang Zhi in the Gemeinschaft.
”What is going on? And earn my life? ” Li Tuo asked while winking, but he never thought that the zingiberis radix today would be abnormal and simply ignore him, running past him like the wind.
”Military Intelligence Service sent an urgent telegram, everyone move out of the way … ”Hurry up!”
