No one would have thought that after the Chinese emperor Long Yufei arrived in Europe, the first thing he did was to fight a war with the Portuguese Navy... and the battle was a bit inexplicable. Although this time, Long Yufei's trip to Europe included showing off his strength, he definitely did not want to show off his strength in this way. However, since others are seeking death, can they still stop him?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" On the Atlantic, the eight steam warships of the Chinese fleet and the thirteen sail warships of the Portuguese Navy launched a fierce battle, or it is more appropriate to describe it as tragic. Because, although the Portuguese fleet has an advantage in quantity, it is completely incomparable to the Chinese fleet in terms of quality! The old sail warships of the Portuguese fleet use boreboss guns. That kind of cannon has a range of up to three kilometers. If you want to hit the warships of the Chinese fleet, God will not only have a strong firepower and a much higher range than the Portuguese fleet. In this case, it is conceivable who can win the final victory.

"Damn it, why is this happening?" On the second-class battleship of Lisbon, Lieutenant General Alfredo saw the sea with artillery fire, and was speechless. He didn't know why he issued such an order in anger. But now the battle has begun, can he still stop? Lieutenant General Alfredo felt very bitter in his heart. If he won, it would be better. He was a hero of the Portuguese Kingdom. But if he lost, he might even lose his life. Judging from the strength of the two sides, does the Portuguese fleet have hope of winning? That is almost impossible. The steam warship of the Chinese fleet, whether it is speed, firepower, or defense, are much stronger than the Portuguese fleet!

"Boom! Boom!" A Portuguese Navy's third-class battleship, Cervantes, exploded violently. The warship of the Chinese fleet's "Wu King" hit the unlucky warship in this salvo. A 210mm shell accurately hit the middle of the warship of the "Cervantes". The shells weighing more than 100 kilograms easily destroyed the wooden hull, and the shells exploded inside the warship. The power of the 20 kilograms of smokeless gunpowder explosion inside easily tore the warship to pieces.

The destruction of the warship "Cervantes" made the officers and soldiers of the Portuguese fleet frightened. They seemed to realize at this time. How powerful their enemies were, and it was not a wise choice to go to war with such enemies no matter how they looked at it.

"General, the Chinese fleet is too powerful. We cannot fight them anymore. In this way, we will be wiped out all!" Colonel Castro, the captain of the battleship "Lisbon" and said anxiously. He knew that if the battle started, it would be like this, and they would not be the opponent of the Chinese at all. Even the British Navy was defeated by the Chinese, let alone them.

"Col. You have to know that this war was not initiated by us, but by the Chinese, who fired at us first. We were just passive counterattacks!" Lieutenant General Alfredo roared loudly, as if this would make him more reasonable.

"General. We have to withdraw from the battle now, otherwise we will be dead!" Colonel Castro didn't seem to want to argue with Lieutenant General Alfredo. He just wanted to change the current situation. However, the battle had begun, and it was no longer easy to withdraw now.

"Coward, you coward, you are not worthy of being a soldier in the Kingdom of Portugal. Those yellow-skinned monkeys were originally our enemies. Although they were very powerful, even if they were killed in battle, we must maintain the glory of the Kingdom of Portugal!" Lieutenant General Alfredo gritted his teeth and insisted. He was a stubborn and conceited person, so he naturally refused to admit his mistakes. That was even more uncomfortable for him than death.

"Boom! Boom!" Soon, another Portuguese fleet warship was sunk. Both sides were not level opponents at all. The naval guns of the Portuguese fleet could not reach the warships of the Chinese fleet. Even if they were hit, the defense of the warships of the Chinese fleet was enough to withstand ordinary attacks. On the contrary, the warships of the Portuguese fleet, once they were hit by large-caliber ships, would either die or be injured.

"Haha! Those Portuguese know that they are powerful right now, right? I really admire their courage. They dare to send a fleet to attack His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. They are simply seeking death!" On the warship "King Wen", Casimiro, the Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, held a telescope and watched the Portuguese warships after another were hit, caught fire, and then sank, and screamed excitedly.

Fabio, the French ambassador to China, was expressionless. Although the Kingdom of Portugal was a traditional ally of Britain, its relationship with France was not bad. What's more, wouldn't it be great if there was a country that restrained the Spaniards on the Iberian Peninsula? If the Kingdom of Spain dominated the Iberian Peninsula, the next step would be to develop northward. France would not want to see such a result. This is the politics between countries, and even allies would stab the knife behind their backs.

Long Yufei also held the telescope with great enthusiasm to observe the naval battle. Although he was the emperor of the Chinese Empire, it was the first time he had witnessed such a large-scale naval battle. This made him very excited, and adrenaline played a role at this moment. His concubine, the Thai princess Amomi, also watched all this with great interest, with excitement in her eyes. Although it was a bit difficult to accept to marry an uncle who was over 20 years older than her. But Long Yufei was the emperor of the Chinese Empire and the most powerful person in the Far East, which made her very satisfied. Now, seeing the powerful Chinese fleet wantonly bombarding the fleet of Western powers, she could intuitively feel the power of the Chinese Empire.

"No, the performance of the warship has not been performed, and we still have to continue training. The performance of the 'Western Zhou-class' warships must be fully adjusted before they can be performed!" Major General Ye Feng, chief of staff of the 5th Fleet, said to Major General Lu Haipeng with a serious expression.

"When you return, train these kids well." Major General Lu Haipeng nodded. He sweats more often and can heal less during wartime. He grew from a pirate to the current commander of the fleet, and understood this truth from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. The enemies of the Chinese Empire are very powerful. Without strengthening training, they have powerful warships and it is difficult to defeat the opponent.

The fierce naval battle ended in less than an hour. Most of the thirteen warships of the Portuguese fleet were sunk, and only a few were injured. However, these injured warships all raised white flags, otherwise they would have been sunk. The Portuguese fleet's flagship, the second-class battleship of the Lisbon, could not escape the disaster and was sunk in the fierce naval battle.

On the sea, there were Portuguese naval officers and soldiers floating on the sea with wooden boards everywhere. They were all lucky people and were lucky enough to be killed in the naval battle. However, if no one saved them at this time, they would not be able to escape. This place is hundreds of kilometers away from the coast of Portugal, and they could not go back at all. Even if they were not starved to death, they would be frozen to death by the cold sea water, or they would directly become a delicious meal for sharks.

"The battle is over, and the Chinese navy is indeed powerful. It took only an hour to destroy a powerful fleet!" Casimiro, the Minister of the Kingdom of Spain to China, exclaimed.

French ambassador to China Fabio nodded. He was very envious. If the French Navy had such a powerful fleet, he might be able to challenge Britain directly.

"The battle is over, and the people on the sea are innocent. I beg your Majesty to save them!" Minister Fabio said to Long Yufei.

Long Yufei nodded. If these two ministers were not there, he would probably be too lazy to order the rescue of these Portuguese people. However, with outsiders here, he still had to do something.

"General Lu, arrange for people to save the Portuguese!" Long Yufei ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Major General Lu Haipeng nodded reluctantly, but he still arranged for people to rescue the Portuguese who fell into the water.

"Your Majesty, these Portuguese people dare to attack you, and they must not be able to let them go easily!" Casimiro, the Spanish Minister to China, began to fan the flames again. Although the Chinese fleet destroyed a fleet of the Portuguese Navy, causing Portugal's strength to be damaged. However, this is not enough. It would be even better if the strength of the Portuguese Kingdom can be further weakened.

"Yes, Minister Casimiro was very right. In order to recover Macau, the empire had declared war with Portugal. However, after recovering Macau, the empire stopped attacking Portugal. This time, His Majesty visited Europe, and the Portuguese actually wanted to murder His Majesty. This was a very serious crime. You can't just let them go!" Foreign Minister Lin Zihao said.

"Your Majesty, will there be any misunderstandings?" said Fabio, the French ambassador to China.

"What can there be any misunderstanding? I see, this was intentional by the Portuguese. Otherwise, why did they not listen after the Chinese fleet warned, but continued to provoke?" Casimiro, the Spanish Minister to China, said quickly.

Long Yufei pondered for a while, then said, "The Empire will not let go of this matter! General Lu, I will turn to Lisbon later. If the Kingdom of Portugal does not give me a clear answer, don't blame us for shelling Lisbon!" (To be continued...)
