C1815 The receding Dutch battleship (2/2)

Everyone felt a chill crawl up the back of their neck. If the Chinese chose to attack at this moment, the two battleships would probably have no survivors at a distance of fifty meters.

The grievances and unwillingness from before had all turned into luck and luck. Everyone was praying from the bottom of their hearts to thank God for saving their lives, not to be buried here.

After this battle, Ma Erweike had once sent a telegram to his own country detailing the powerful fighting strength of the Zhiyuan Warship and hoped that the Kingdom of the Netherlands would also be able to build its own Steel battleship.

But now that the Dutch had given up on the Grand Navy strategy and chosen to use commercial state policies, of course the battleship would not be built, but this telegram had coincidentally fallen into British hands, and it was said that because of this, the process of creating the Steel battleship in England had increased by thirty percent.

The Dutch's retreat was not even in Xiao Letian's eyes. She, who was currently watching the battle inside the command cabin, did not even bother to look at the two wooden boats that passed by him.

Xiao Letian shook his head and said indifferently, ”I gave you the quota of three cannonballs ….. Isn't that a little too much? I feel like it's a bit of a waste! ”

”Just these monkeys, do we even need to use the Zhiyuan Warship? ”The army can now form a circle …”

Xiang Ying hurriedly shook his head and said, ”No, no, no … The leader's words are wrong, the Zhiyuan Warship must fire their cannons, we must let these aboriginals feel the strongest destructive force, and let them feel the same terrifying atmosphere as if a god had descended. This will benefit our future rule … ”

After saying that, as if afraid that Xiao Letian would go back on his words, Xiang Ying immediately commanded, ”The target is two kilometers in front of us … Destroy the enemy battalion on the docks... ”Single Launch!”

On the deck, the Launcher Lin Zhen who was in the rain shouted loudly, ”Fill up the 50 kg medicine bag … A High Explosive Bullet... Rise Angle Five Degrees... ”Fire!”

The towing rope jerked, and with a loud bang, all the water droplets on the deck were blown in all directions by the strong wind.

From afar, it looked like the head of the Zhiyuan Warship had bloomed into a white mist flower with droplets of water vapor. The red flower in the middle was the tail of a cannonball that was spraying and roaring.

Almost in an instant, fire and smoke rose from the native alliance base on the pier.

It was difficult to put into words the power of the 210 high explosive projectile, especially when the Zhiyuan Warship's artillery shells were already beginning to be widely used in smokeless gunpowder, especially the nitroglycerin explosives produced by Nuo Beier Co., which had increased the power of the cannonballs.

Currently, the first batch of Chinese chemical researchers, of course, could not be called chemists. They were researching on the application of picric acid in explosives technology, which was a secret scientific research project of Xiao Letian.

The new type of smokeless gunpowder, however, was already widely used. The power of this kind of cannonball was three times stronger than that of ordinary black gunpowder and twice that of chestnut colored gunpowder.

The survivors dictated that after the strange sound came from the sky, a sun suddenly lit up in the middle of the pier. The blinding light only lasted for a moment before it quickly dimmed down.

However, a violent wind began blowing from that moment!
