886 British Merchant Vessel Witto
"Mr. Kevin, please think a little bit better. We are not murderers... This is a national war, an inevitable national war. We are contributing to the final victory..."
"Put it away from the inappropriate compassion in your heart. I know you have noble morality and you are proud of the noble spirit. But don't you want Prussia to avenge the previous shame? You don't take the shame of Jena to heart..."
"Oh, we understand. You are like those pedantic and hypocritical Confucian scholars in our Qing Dynasty. While you are shouting that you are a gentleman who is away from the kitchen, shouting that you can't bear to see the cattle and sheep die, and while you are still shouting that you will not eat the meat..."
"Hyphor, I understand it. You just want to get the glory after the victory of Prussia, and you are unwilling to stain the blood of your enemies with your own hands..."
A group of young officers on the Zhiyuan were trying to persuade the engineer and deputy captain Kevin that this stubborn Prussian noble was too difficult to serve. When the Marshall Islands first dealt with French ships, they all had an extra hour of rain to persuade him.
He finally opened his heart to his heart, but later he became very annoyed by the British merchant ships. Twelve of the thirteen merchant ships were French ships, and the other one was the unlucky British ship.
It is impossible to only sail French ships on the Atlantic Golden Road, and merchant ships from all European countries can pass freely, so the Zhiyuan route is very cautious.
Five skimmers are drawn into a large herringbone shape five nautical li apart, and the Zhiyuan is hidden in it. The skimmers sometimes fly the American flag, sometimes fly the British, French and even the Netherlands and Portuguese flags.
When encountering merchant ships from Prussia, the fleet will rely on them to try their best to purchase some materials and require the other party to keep them strictly confidential. If they encounter ships from other neutral countries, such as the United States, Italy and other countries with harmonious relations, they will also purchase some materials appropriately, but they will never let the Chinese show up.
If you encounter ships from Britain, Norway, Sweden, Russia, the Netherlands and other countries, the fleet will immediately distance you and will never have any contact.
Only French merchant ships are fat sheep for training troops, and God now obviously blesses the Zhiyuan. There are indeed quite a few French merchant ships I have encountered along the way.
The British merchant ship Wudu is a very unlucky guy. Originally, Zhiyuan didn't want to attack this merchant ship, but coincidentally, when the fog was in the sight, Zhiyuan was carrying out a massacre at sea. The merchant ship destroyed by Zhiyuan's main artillery had already sunk, and wreckage and dead bodies were floating on the sea. The sailors were shooting survivors one by one with rifles.
Although it is cruel, these are unscrupulous choices to keep it confidential.
When the Wudu saw this, he was so scared that he turned his bow and fled. How could Zhiyuan let him escape? He chased westward with the splash.
The distance between Zhiyuan and Wudu is as high as five kilometers. This is a rare live-fire drill for long-range main guns. The maximum range of Zhiyuan's main gun is eight kilometers, but in fact, it is difficult to ensure accuracy for shells over four kilometers.
Now is an opportunity to accumulate experience in long-range shooting. Zhiyuan controls its speed and starts long-range shooting training at a distance of five kilometers.
Boom boom boom... The monotonous main gun fire sounded on the Atlantic Ocean, and the Wudu ran helplessly under the pursuit of perverts like a scared little girl.
The explosion of water splashes are sometimes close at hand, only thirty or forty meters away from the side of the ship, and sometimes the explosion of water splashes is three or four hundred meters away.
Lin Zhen is the gun captain on the Zhiyuan, and his weapon system is under his command. Of course, he has to collect this first-hand parameter, but when everyone is busy, Kevin, the old-fashioned guy, started to get angry again.
He kept saying that Britain was not an enemy country so he could never attack the other side. Well, since you insist on attacking, please do not hurt the sailors.
This is really a woman's kindness. Now Britain is the overlord of the ocean on earth. The Royal Navy is invincible in the world. It is hard to match any country in the world for its importance to the navy.
Why did this British ship desperately escape? He wanted to send the first-hand information of the Zhiyuan back to his country? All the British citizens, even a beggar, knew the importance of the navy to the entire country.
There is no empire without a navy. Any germination that threatens the Royal Navy must be strangled to death early. Now, everyone from the captain to the sailor has forgotten their transportation tasks. The precious cargo has been thrown into the sea. They try their best to increase their speed.
The captain of the Wudu has also served in the navy. He could see at a glance the powerful combat power of Zhiyuan and the power to break the tradition. It is very likely that this is a brand new warship that is about to change the human naval warfare mode. This intelligence must be sent back to the country.
Precious cigars, rum, coffee... goods worth hundreds of thousands of pounds were thrown into the sea and rolled up and down with the waves.
The Zhiyuan even saw that even the British ships had even begun to throw out the cargo for the warehouse. When sailing ships were sailing, they had to have cargo for the warehouse. Ancient sailors even directly released ballasts, with the purpose of increasing the stability of the sea ships and not sinking easily when they encountered wind and waves.
In the later era of great navigation, merchants were more savvy. Every inch of the space of the merchant ship was used to make money. Since then, they no longer filled with valuable things like stones and sand, but replaced them with various bait cargo.
The best cargo for cabin cargo on Chinese routes is of course porcelain. The most common cargo on North American routes are mechanically packed wool and cotton pieces. Don’t think that wool and cotton are very light. The wool blocks compacted and bundled with mechanical power are no less than stones. They are definitely the first choice for cabins.
All this treasure was thrown into the sea. Xiang Ying and the others knew that they could not continue playing. They would definitely have many dreams when facing such a crazy man.
The Zhiyuan boiler was pressurized, and the four underwater propellers began to accelerate and the speed of the warship quickly increased to 16 knots. When the distance between the two ships was less than three kilometers, the Zhiyuan main gun directly hit the stern of the Wudu ship building with a single shot, blowing the captain's room and the underwater rudder.
It was from that moment on, Kevin was excited again, and he actually took the attitude of non-violent and uncooperative by learning from the Indians.
Strike, Kevin chose to strike from that moment on. If attacking French ships is just to prepare for the French-Prussian war soon, France is a century-old enemy of Prussia, there is still some truth.
But how do you explain the merchant ships attacking the British? Is Prussia still going to have a war with Britain? This is a joke.
The fleet sailed to the Cape Verde Islands, but the stubborn engineer still did not resume work. Xiang Ying had no choice but to take out his last killer weapon.
"Mr. Kevin, even if you are a stone, we have explained it for so long, you should be warmed up. If I can prove that Prussia will definitely have a bloody battle with Britain in the future, will you still go on strike?"
"What a joke, I won't believe you... If Prussia really has plans to go to war with Britain, then your actions are of course forgiven, but I will never believe your lies." This book was first released from 17K Novel Network, and you can read the genuine content as soon as possible!
