Chapter 636 (2/2)

But now it's different. Just a few days ago, the great French Empire declared war on Britain again!

After the end of the seven-year war, the 15 year state of peace was broken.

But Luc was not afraid because Luc knew very well that the great army alone had restrained most of the energy and strength of the British in the new world, and it was said that the Spaniards also wanted to join the US French Alliance to declare war on the British.

Gibraltarian fortress is a thorn that can never be removed from the Spanish heart. In the past, the British were strong, and neither the Spanish nor the French could afford to offend the British. But now the British are too busy to deal with themselves. It is undoubtedly the best time to unite and attack the British at this time.

Once the Spanish and the fleet of the motherland unite to deal with the fort of gibraltarian, the main force of the British navy will be bound to be on the other side of the proofing. At that time, the Guadeloupe fleet under its command will become one of the most powerful fleets in the whole Caribbean and even in the North Atlantic.

Julian Luc, who was born well, quickly analyzed the current situation, so he led the main force of the fleet out of the harbor without hesitation.

Guadeloupe fleet has a total of 15 warships, of which there are seven main warships above class III, and the remaining eight warships are class IV warships, namely cruisers.

The three main ships led by Antoine were sunk by that damned native Indian tribe in the summer of the previous year. Now there are still four main ships and eight cruisers left in the fleet. Therefore, in this attack, Luc left only four cruisers in Guadeloupe, and he brought out all the remaining warships.

Julian Luc now desperately wanted to avenge Henry Antoine by shelling that damned native Indian tribe before the fleet began to carry out the North Atlantic route plan to harass the British!

Blood debt must be paid with the blood of the enemy!

Luc didn't think that his four main ships with 112 36 pound guns were vegetarian!

At present, the main guns of the French main ship are 36 pound guns (French pounds, weighing more than British pounds), which are the long guns of the Wallace system. This long gun of the valerian system fired solid projectiles with a range of more than 2000 meters.

Although the effective range of this kind of long gun is only a few hundred meters under the condition of ensuring the firing accuracy, it is quite different between shelling a fixed aboriginal tribe and mutual firing between warships in naval battle.

In a naval battle, in order to ensure the firing accuracy of the artillery, the warships will close to each other within a few hundred yards for firing. In many cases, the interval between the warships of both sides is only more than 200 yards.

But that's to make sure the guns hit the local warships more.

And what's the size of a tribe? Therefore, shelling a large tribe does not need to be close at all. It only needs to be fired 2000 meters away.

Even if the aboriginal tribe had a kind of terrifying fortress gun, Luc would not believe that the enemy's fortress gun could hit his warship at a distance of 2000 meters when his fleet was constantly moving at sea.

That's impossible, because there is no gun in the world that can still maintain shooting accuracy at a distance of 2000 meters!
