Chapter 658 (1/2)

The power, firing rate and effective range of the Yanhuang tribe's 76 mortars have stupefied Lieutenant Colonel Fogg and Colonel Jackson.

This is a large armed merchant ship! With more than 1000 tons of displacement and three masted cross sails, this armed merchant ship with two decks can become a class IV cruiser with only a little modification!

The difference between an armed merchant ship and a warship is really small. The biggest difference is that the two decks of a cruiser are loaded with dozens of guns, while the cargo hold of an armed merchant ship is loaded with cargo.

So there is no difference between sinking an armed merchant ship and sinking a cruiser.

However, such an armed merchant ship, which can become a cruiser as long as it is equipped with guns, has become a floating object without any doubt in just a few minutes. If it was not seen by their own eyes, Fogg and Jackson would not believe it at all.

In particular, it was an armed inland river transport ship with a displacement of only about 100 tons that killed the ship.

It's more outrageous than a three-year-old with bare hands killing a fully armed adult soldier

Of course, what they envy more in their hearts is the weapons loaded on this inland river armed transport ship.

If our army had such weapons, those damned rebels would have been killed long ago.

Unfortunately, this kind of thought can only be thought about in the mind.

It's almost harder to get this weapon than to defeat those damned rebels

Similarly, the wreckage floating on the sea and the sailors struggling to swim toward the shore also made Fogg and Jackson understand the determination of the Cherokee people to block the bay.

Looking at the ten or so inland river armed transport ships cruising near the mouth of the Bay, Fogg and Jackson were both envious and helpless. As for the anger, they never had it at all. Even if the ship of Yanhuang tribe sank a British armed merchant ship in front of them, they were not angry at all.

I can't get angry... The weapons of those guys on the other side are so terrible that they don't have the heart to resist at all. As for being angry or even revenge for the armed merchant ship, it's a fool's business, OK.

However, we have to look for what we should look for. The Cherokee blockaded the Gulf for no reason, which is clearly that they did not pay attention to the British Empire.

As the middle and senior commanders of the Royal Army of the British Empire, they could not avenge the armed merchant ship, but they had to come forward anyway for the sake of the British Empire. Otherwise, if the superior knew about it, they would not be far away from leaving the army.

So they came.

But after two words, Dahe said, ”don't forget that you are the outsiders, and we are the masters of this continent.”.

There's nothing wrong with what they say. This continent was originally the territory of others. The colonists from Europe, including the two of them, were just more advanced than others with weapons, and then forcibly occupied this colony.

If these aboriginal tribes are still as backward in force as they used to be, they will be occupied. In those days, whoever has the big fist has the final say.
