Chapter 673 (1/2)
It took more than five hours from departure in the morning to the complete annihilation of this fleet of French sail warships and Spanish merchant ships.
When the Yellow fleet slowed down and returned to Norfolk harbor, the sun began to set.
Stone bear didn't expect that he just wanted to go out to sea for a thorough sea trial, but he met this fleet, and then the sea trial turned into a real battle.
But in any case, the actual combat is 100 times better than the sea trial, which can be seen from the smiles on the faces of the officers and men of the Yanhuang fleet.
Hekale is also excited and seems to have more confidence.
As the successor of a powerful tribe and even a superpower, self-confidence is one of the basic qualities that hekal must possess. Obviously, he witnessed and participated in the naval battle with his own eyes. The crushing process and results made hecal see the strength of the Yanhuang fleet, which undoubtedly played a great role in increasing his self-confidence.
In the evening, a large-scale national carnival was held in the chief square of Norfolk to celebrate the victory of the naval battle.
Although this is only a trivial naval battle, the opponent has not the slightest strength to fight back, but for the navy of the whole Yanhuang tribe, this is the beginning of the journey.
This naval battle, which occupied the absolute superiority, not only enhanced the self-confidence of heckler, but also enhanced the self-confidence of the naval officers and men.
The so-called mule is a horse. Just pull it out and slip around.
In the past, the officers and men of the Navy only heard how powerful their steel warships were, and they would have an absolute crushing advantage over those vasichu sailing warships, but after all, none of them had tried.
The only attempt before was made by an armed river transport ship against an armed British merchant ship. But that's not the record of steel warships at all.
As for the 11 French warships sunk by the coastal artillery, it was also the work of the coastal artillery regiment.
These nine steel warships, which have invested huge human, material and financial resources to build, look really domineering, but they really haven't experienced actual combat. And before each sea trial, they had to sneak out to sea. After a long time, naval officers and men naturally had doubts in their hearts.
Doubts about how powerful warships are.
If there is no such sudden naval battle, such doubts will exist for a long time, and then gradually accumulate. Once it breaks out, it will be a disastrous consequence for the navy of Yanhuang tribe.
In fact, this is also the negligence of stone bear. He patronizes and keeps secrets, but ignores people's psychological activities.
Now, such a sudden naval battle has finally dispelled the doubts in the hearts of all the naval officers and men, and also made them see the real strength of their warships.
It's a powerful force that has crushing advantages over any kind of warship at present, and it's also a powerful force that can make the enemy despair completely!
A naval battle completely released the negative emotions in the minds of the naval officers and men and greatly enhanced their self-confidence, which is undoubtedly a very beautiful development for the navy of Yanhuang tribe.
