C2465 Dispatching troops to Prussia (1/2)
War was always like this, one step at a time. Zhiyuan Warship s were like a pure dream warship to this era.
Not to mention its extremely high combat strength and defensive power. With his speed alone, he was a nightmare for all the navy in the world.
Six French battleship that had been waiting in the Strait of Dover. In the direction of the North Sea, the sail was full. Relying on the familiarity of the hydrological conditions. Under the cover of night, the six high speed battleships actually managed to find the back of the Zhiyuan Warship!
At the end of the dark and boundless sea, a battleship that made all the Frenchmen reveal a look of hatred finally appeared! That was the Zhiyuan Warship, the Zhiyuan Warship that had consecutively defeated the French.
All the officers and men of France were fighting to avenge themselves. ”Sail full, boiler pressurized, charge! To sink it into the North Sea under the cover of night! ”
At this time, Xiang Ying who was on top of the Zhiyuan Warship had also discovered the pursuers behind them. He put down the telescope in his hand and sneered, ”Poor clown, don't you know what technology is? The Sail battleship actually wants to compete with me in speed? ”
”What a pity! We are still not in a state of war. If we were in a state of war, you would have long fallen into the North Sea to be fed to the fishes. ”
”Pass my order, pressure the boiler, increase speed, advance towards hamburger at full speed! Let these French s behind us eat their farts! ”
The boilers of the Zhiyuan Warship have been meticulously maintained in the UK. Even the bottom of the boat had been scraped three times and painted twice. The coal bunkers were filled with carefully chosen British white coal, with sufficient firepower and small flue gas.
The pressure of the steam continued to rise. The propeller lapped at the seawater of the North Sea as the Zhiyuan Warship shot out towards the northwest like an arrow leaving the bow.
The Frenchmen were completely dumbfounded. They only saw the dark figure of the Zhiyuan Warship shake and it shot out like a cannonball. The distance that was getting closer suddenly opened up once again.
The French battleship went up and cursed loudly, ”Damned Chinaman! You are a bunch of cowards! If you have the ability, stop and fight with us! ”
Unfortunately, these fart's curses could not even reach Zhiyuan Warship s. In the darkness, the Zhiyuan Warship walked further and further away, leaving six of them in the air.
”Stop scolding! If he wanted to scold, he should scold the shameless and greedy politicians within the country! Even the Chinese have such a warship, why doesn't our France have one? Where did the money go? Where are the funds for the war? Shameless politician! They were a bunch of thieves who had stolen the taxes of the people! ”He deceived the great Emperor!”
Hearing the officer's dejected words, the aide sighed and said, ”Then do we continue to chase him?”
The Captain clenched his teeth and said, ”What we received was a death command. We have to sink this warship. Do you want me to go to court now? ”
”Keep chasing …”
But just at this time, the lookout suddenly shouted out, ”Report to the Captain! The west has discovered a group of lighting signal, and an unknown battleship … ”
”The one who deserves to die is the Royal Navy! They want us to explain our purpose here! They actually ordered us to slow down? Oh! God! ”They actually suspect us of smuggling, and suspect us of colluding with the pirates, and want us to cooperate in the investigation …”
It was only then that the French present realized that the chase was impossible. They could not catch up with the Zhiyuan Warship's speed, nor could they afford to provoke the Royal Navy.
The failure of the North Sea mission did not cause the military to become furious. III was the only one who shattered many treasures in anger, but he herself clearly knew that she could not do anything in the face of the Royal Navy.
