C1921 Dashing through the gates of hell (1/2)

There were many ways to communicate between naval vessels. There were banners and flags, lighting signal s, advanced technology, radio, satellite phones and so on.

However, in an era when electromechanics was not widespread, when ships on the sea were communicating with each other, the most common type was the signal flag. People could often see various flags on the mast of a battleship or on the cables, which was the signal flag.

Every flag had a meaning. For example, the white and red rhombus-shaped flag raised by the Zhiyuan Warship was a flag that all the sailors were familiar with.

Usually, on the vast sea, when the lookout had spotted a ship in the distance through a telescope, he would immediately observe the strings of flags on the mast and judge the state of the ship.

If the flag was found, then it meant that there was a problem with the ship. According to the custom of the navigation industry, as long as it was not an enemy country, any ship that saw the signal flag would have to give a certain amount of assistance.

However, these flags usually appeared in the ocean. The Zhiyuan Warship had done numerous routine checks along the way, and they had even carried out a simple check at the Suez Port. Why did she put out the flag?

”What's going on? Why did Zhiyuan Warship hang the fault flag? ”Immediately ask, what happened …” General Jie Sen immediately gave the order to ask, and even he could feel the strange atmosphere.

The answer of the Zhiyuan Warship shocked everyone in the United Fleet, ”What? A malfunction in the boiler and power unit? The warship can no longer slow down or stop? What kind of f * cking explanation is that! ”

The British were so angry that their noses were crooked. Did you Chinese come here to fool us British people? Should not the failure of the boiler and power set be a loss of power to move forward or a slower and slower speed?

How come to you Chinese people, but become unable to stop and unable to slow down? Don't add coal to the boiler! How could he drive when the fire was out? There's a problem, there's a problem with China!

Of course there was a problem, now that Xiao Letian had returned to the command cabin, the Zhiyuan Warship s had officially entered into battle preparation, and only the Chinese could understand the language of the lighting signal, so the flag bearers could communicate among the warships, making it difficult for other people to understand the flag language.

The veterans didn't even need to look to know with a sniff, ”The Chinese are preparing for war! Something was going to happen... They are definitely preparing for war! ”

The Frenchman on the fifth station was also stunned, especially the French Consul Ferdinand who had rushed over earlier. His heart skipped a beat, ”What's going on? What do the Chinese want! Did they notice our ambush? That's not right! If they had noticed the ambush, why would they still be able to move forward? Aren't you afraid of our cannons? ”

Ferdinand was also leaving Suez this morning and had just reached the fifth station's town. He would not be at ease if he did not take charge of the attack himself.

Behind the consul, stood the Company Commander of the cavalry company. He smiled respectfully and said, ”Impossible, the Chinese intelligence network will definitely not cover this place, even the British …” What we activated was a completely new dark net, and what we used was also a network independent of the intelligence network. It's impossible for the United Kingdom to detect it! ”

”Then why? Why did the Chinese do such a strange thing? ”Dammit, order them to fire early, we can't wait any longer …” An indescribable fear wrapped around Ferdinand.

The British soldier's guess was not wrong. Right now, the Chinese were preparing for war, and all the warships' cabins resounded with the roar of a Level 1 Warrior.

”Level One …” Army Mobilization... ”Level one …”

By the time they were ready for battle, the ammunition had already been distributed to the units at the first rank of the company. It was under the joint supervision of the Company Commander and the company commander.
