"Hurry! Move quickly!"

"Candy shells! Carry them over!"

"Don't be too slow! What are the bastards over there doing?"

Boom! Boom!

Although he is inside the Brooklyn, Li Dongzheng can still feel the tragic situation, especially he can still see... Well, Li Dongzheng is a gunner, and he can see the situation outside through the scope. +◆,

Although it is called a scope, this thing is actually quite complicated. Anyway, the scene outside is definitely not coming in straight lines, and there are many scales on it, which requires some column calculations to determine the final angle...

"Down by two degrees!"

"Finish!"

"fire!"

Boom!

Li Dongzheng clearly saw a large group of fire bursting out from the other party's warship.

"Hit!"

"Ha ha……"

"Don't fucking celebrate! Let's go again!"

“yes-private!”

The main turret of the Brooklyn is a triple-mounted 380mm caliber artillery. Not to mention its huge power, the most important thing is that the rate of fire is very fast. When operating with all your strength, you can have two guns in one minute, while three guns can adjust the angles separately, which means that you can attack three targets at the same time.

This artillery system is very complex. Most of the entire transport of shells, including the warhead and the gunpowder behind it, are completed by machinery, but some of them are working. When you are in the artillery system, you will find that you are very small, just a small laughing child. And this machine is too huge!

Li Dongzheng was very clear. This is actually a technological progress. Perhaps this progress is relatively small, from 50 seconds to 30 seconds, it doesn’t seem to be anything, but in fact, the entire mechanical manufacturing, design and structure are all a significant improvement.

It is said that the people in District 11 have made considerable contributions. I heard that those guys have thought about some details to the extreme, and many people are studying, manufacturing, and polishing there without sleep. The process is a bit unbearable.

As for this?

But the craftsmen in District 11 said that this is to serve the great His Majesty Clint Lee I!

"My father's prestige is like a god. Even the people of District 11 were inspired!" Li Dongzheng couldn't help but think like this.

But in fact, he was also very clear. His father didn't take District 11 seriously at all...

Now, I can't think about this!

"Hold the railing! It's about to turn the rudder!"

“Check your seat belt!”

This turret system is too complicated. Several people work at a height of about the third floor, so when the warship turns the rudder, it is not easy, and it will fall off if it doesn't work properly!

"Comrades! Keep working hard!"

"Comrades! Victory belongs to us!"

In order to increase morale, there are also propaganda soldiers who are encouraging everyone!

“all-hail-lee!”

Li Dongzheng couldn't help but shout, of course, his surname is Li...

"How is this possible? How is it possible?!"

Jericho, who was on the Victoria, was already sweating profusely because he could not believe that the six warships on his side were actually inferior to the three of the opponent!

Indeed, generally speaking, this situation is really unimaginable. What is the reason for?

"General! The other party's flag words come out again. Their main ships are going to rush straight over, and the other two ships need to cover fire!"

"knew!"

It's strange, that is, when the opponent is fighting, he keeps playing flags. This is actually nothing. In this era, the contact between warships depends on this flags. But in general, because the other party cannot know, the flags on his own side will definitely add some of his own things, which is like a password.

But now, we can fully understand the opponent's flag language. You must know that it was confirmed after several experiments and Jericho's side that the opponent used Ming language, but!

When the war has come to the present, these flag verbs have changed again!

It doesn't work anymore, it doesn't work at all!

You can still understand the other party's flag language, but the other party's warship movements often do not follow the flag language at all.

This is completely inconsistent with normal logic!

Because doing this will make you confused in this regard. You must know that if you use flag language to contact us, then how can you make the flag language in front mean this, but the flag language in the back mean differently?

Then command will be in chaos. This is definitely a taboo in modern naval wars, even in various wars. No one will do this, even if it is to confuse the opponent.

Anyway, Jericho would never do this, because he confuses his opponents and cannot compare with his own command chaos no matter how he looks. He is absolutely unwilling to command a group of disobedient guys to fight!

So, what's going on?

In fact, because of this problem, Jericho ignored some individual key points. For example, although the Taiping Empire fleet had few ships, their artillery fired faster and more accurate, and the ships had better maneuver power. In this naval battle, one warship had been sunk by the British Empire's navy and two were injured, while the other side had no big problems, and they were only injured.

But, however, the question about the flag language...

Beep beep beep, beep beep...

The Brooklyn of the Pacific Empire has a deep hidden cabin. There are several people here, and they are constantly sending news!

That's right, the answer is that the Pacific Empire fleet did not use that flag language to contact us. We have been using radio!

Because of the radio, there is no need for flags, but at this time, you must use this thing, not for us to use it ourselves, but for others to understand it.

So, since you still have to catch the flag, then use it. It's no big deal anyway... Of course, this confusing opponent is also very simple. Ordinary messages are directly told to opponents, and important things, such as now...

"No! They want to turn the rudder!" Jericho saw clearly on the Victoria that his opponent's flagship was simply turning the rudder, rather than rushing towards him!

You should know that the rudder turning at this time is to display the side gun, which is already considered a very dangerous combat action.

That's right, showing the side cannon is an action that must be done in traditional naval battles, so that our side's greatest firepower advantage can be used. It depends on who has strong firepower and who will smash into the sea, so that the winner will be decided.

But now, because of the invention of torpedo, torpedo is really the No. 1 killer of the warship. After the huge warship turned its rudder, it naturally exposed its huge and slender hull. Then this is definitely the best time to launch the torpedo!

In fact, this is also a motivation for the design of a warship, that is, the previous warships, namely wooden sailboats, steam-blade iron ships, or early iron-clad ships, were designed as before, paying attention to sidewalk guns. It was not until the widespread use of torpedoes that the main gun was designed to the front and middle of the hull, and the caliber of the gun was very large, which was actually to solve the problem of insufficient firepower.

Because I dare not turn the rudder easily, so there are so many cannons on the side that cannot be used, so I had to use Willy, who increased the cannon and use fewer cannons in front to solve the problem.

The truth here is very interesting, but... this was designed by Li Mengyang. He didn't understand the various tricks in it at all. He just saw the pictures that placed the main guns in this way, so... he is really a fool who is lucky.

In other words, it actually took a big jump in technology, shortening a lot of time, and all of this happened quietly.

Therefore, it was not that Jericho was not capable enough, but that he had no way to stop this jump. After the tide of the times accelerated, the adaptation speed of human beings itself could not keep up...

Rumble! Rumble!

The sudden illumination of the opponent's warship on the side made the British Navy unexpectedly that before he had time to deal with it, the opponent's shells roared like a sudden rain!

After all, there are still many guns on the side, and the firepower is even more fierce.

"Ahhhh!"

"My God!"

Wave!

The Victoria was hit in great luck, and the entire warship was seriously damaged.

"The cabin leaks! The engine is broken!"

“hat?”

Jericho received a report and felt that God was not on their side this time.

"General, we must abandon the ship!"

"this……"

Jericho made great achievements in the Mediterranean, otherwise he would not be able to control the Victoria. You should know that this is a warship named after the Queen. If this warship sinks, the meaning here will be too great!

Victoria sank... Victoria sank...

In fact, there is no 'number' in English. To put it bluntly, the name of this ship is Victoria...

"I won't leave! You guys go!"

Jericho's face was gray, and he was ready to live and die with his warship!

"General! Don't be stupid! Go quickly!"

"Come on! Help!"

Fortunately, the British sailors still favored the rising star, and they threw Jericho onto the lifeboat with all their might.

The Victoria sank, and the entire British Mediterranean fleet that had come from afar immediately lost its energy. Those who can run quickly ran away. Two of the six battleships ran away, one of them ran away and surrendered, and the other two were silent.

Jericho was also rescued by the Pacific Imperial Navy, and he was helplessly captured... (To be continued.)
