C2034 night exercise (2/2)
Zai Chun rubbed his cheeks, which were numb due to insomnia, and ruthlessly scratched his brow. After feeling a wave of aching pain, his eyes immediately lit up.
began a meticulously prepared convoy exercise around the Chinese fleet.
In the middle of the night, the battle array naval gun opened its doors wide, vigilantly looking at the surrounding darkness.
The frigate and cruisers changed positions, and the darkness could unexpectedly carry out the extremely dangerous crossing motion. Amidst the exclamations of countless Chinese soldier, the cruisers were almost about to collide with each other.
It was obvious that the Royal Navy had deployed the best battleships, the best soldiers, and they would not make any mistakes. After a few successful crossings, the entire formation of the British Fleet in the sea turned from a defensive formation to a formation.
Pah pah pah … The Zhiyuan Warship burst into a round of monotonous applause. Only the Chinese students who had studied in Europe could understand how difficult it was to perform in such a way.
Xiao Letian could not help but exclaim, he nodded his head and thought to himself, in an era where there was no radio, for more than thirty large battleships to conduct night drills in such a narrow bay, was not something an ordinary nation could do.
An expert would be able to see the gist of it from just one practice session, but Zai Chun could only see the entrance ”Why did you choose Strait of Gibraltar? ”Why didn't you do this exercise in the middle of the night?”
Xiang Ying, who was at the side, curled his lips when he heard it, ”That was in order to increase the difficulty. Within the narrow straits, the ocean currents are chaotic, and there are many reefs, as well as civilian ships that are constantly heading in different directions … If you were to conduct exercises here, you will be able to display the exceptional skills of the British Navy! ”
”Not only that, but there is also an overseas enclave that has been built in Britain for many years... That is the port of Gibraltar in the north! ”
”Look …” Your Majesty, look north! British Fleet is currently sending lighting signal northwards to the Gibraltar Stronghold, and there is already a response from them.
There was a shadow of a continent in the darkness, and it was even possible to see light flashing faintly. At first, Zai Chun thought that it was a normal European seaside town.
However, in the next second, the sparse flames in the distance suddenly started to increase in number. At a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, the lights began to spread and become brighter.
Xiao Letian said coldly, ”British Port of Gibraltar, this is a sharp knife the British have inserted into the straits. This is also the headquarters of the British Mediterranean Fleet!”
”Now, these British people are going to show us their power, because this is the strongest fortress of the British Empire, and they claim that they will never fall!”
It was a British show today, showing off their muscles to Xiao Letian and Zai Chun. The threat of Scarlet Fruit was extremely strong, because they were about to reach the British mainland, Royal Navy wanted them to know the rules.
In this world, England is the one with the biggest fist, and anyone has to admit that.
”Gibraltar Gibraltar This is the United Fleet... The Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom and the head of the Chinese family were crossing the strait. I am here to report to you! ”
”United Fleet... United Fleet... This is the fortress of Gibraltar... Please convey our welcome to His Majesty Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom and the Head of the Hua Clan. The strait is safe, please pass safely for the Emperor and the Chief! ”
