Major General Bruce looked at Molière in horror as if he had never known him, and he had been in contact with him many times in Paris, and he had bribed the emperor's close ministers.

At that time, Molière gave people the feeling of being extremely sunny, and he was tall and handsome, and he was the object of women's favor wherever he went. But today, Molière showed everyone a completely different face.

"Envoy...... Are you kidding, Envoy? What do you mean by three days of freedom? Do you want to slaughter the city?"

"Shut up..."Molière's cold eyes swept the Major General's glance, "Remember your identity, you are a soldier, and the pursuit of victory is your duty..."

Molière's eyes made Major General Bruce shudder, and he wanted to refute something but didn't dare to speak.

"General...... What is the environment of the colony, I think you know better than me, those obedient natives on the Indian continent may have long worn out the sharpness in the hearts of the soldiers, and the victory in Beijing six years ago also made the soldiers relax their will to fight... And these are deadly ......"

"Countless military strategists have once expounded that even the weakest enemy must use the power of the lion to fight the rabbit to achieve absolute victory, and in my Molière's dictionary there is only the word foolproof, and there is no luck..."

Molière stared at Bruce with his eyes fixed on him, and almost jumped up and down in a low voice, "Don't you want to think about it? It is precisely because the enemy is so weak that we cannot afford to fail, and if we are defeated by such an enemy, what choice do we have but to commit suicide and apologize?"

At this time, Bruce suddenly realized, it turned out that the envoy was nervous about this along the way, "Envoy, rest assured, the victory must be our French ...... Resolutely carry out your orders under the ...

The rear admiral grabbed the side of the ship and shouted at the sailors, "Young men, don't be polite to these barbarians, there is a huge amount of wealth stored in the port of Naha, and the wealth of Shuri Castle is yours ......"

"Hooray..."The sailors once again erupted into a thunderous roar, and at that moment the entire fleet was like a rainbow.

But when everyone was excited, Molière always had a feeling of emptiness in his heart, and he unconsciously thought of the bloody battle in Besançon on the Franco-Swiss border, and he always remembered the scene of the crazy attack on France by the news media all over Europe.

"Are these Chinese really so easy to deal with? maybe? If they are really so easy to deal with, why can they beat us in France? Why can they make waves in all the European newspapers?"

Gradually, Molière's face became more gloomy, and the perverted love came again.

The atrocities of the French fleet completely shocked the port of Naha, and countless lookout sentinels built on the high mountains almost dropped their binoculars, and all kinds of colloquial angry curses were heard incessantly.

"Brute... It's a brute...... What kind of ability is it to massacre ordinary people......"

"Oops...... Another fishing boat was rammed and wrecked... Look at the French ships shooting into the sea...... Your grandmother, even the fishermen who fell into the water were killed..."

"Raise the alarm...... An emergency alert was issued to the entire city...... This group of bastards looks like they're going to play with us, and they won't die, and today they won't die......"

The sound of the trumpet of war kept echoing in the city, and the whole city entered the most urgent state of war, Xiao Letian's new army, as well as the temporary replenishment of the reserves, and even the guards composed of countless citizens all took up their weapons and walked to the defensive positions that had been built.

Soon a group of nervous figures appeared at the head of Shuri Castle, and the young King Shotai and his civil and military ministers finally waited for the most fearful moment.

"Report ...... 義禀陛xià...... Ten French-flagged warships appeared on the sea due south...... Now, the fishermen and sailors on the surface of the sea are being slaughtered..."

"What? This is an undeclared war? The French still have no shame..."The beards of countless civil servants and military generals flew up.

At this time, Lin Yuanmiao gritted his back molars and said to Jin Changsen: "See? This is the French you want to surrender? You wishfully bet the fate of the kingdom on them, but do you see them take care of you?"

"Jin Changsen... You go and surrender, you go and go to this group of French people to surrender..."

Just when Lin Yuanmiao was angry at Jin Changsen, the surrendering faction, no one expected that Jin Changsen would not say a word, turned around and stood in front of Lin Yuanmiao, and knelt on the ground as soon as his knees were weak.

"I'm blinded by Jin Changsen lard...... I'll apologize to you today..."After saying that, his head touched the ground for a long time.

Lin Yuanmiao and King Shangtai were both stupid, and they were slightly stunned, Lin Yuanmiao hurriedly pulled him up with a red face, "You, you, you...... Are you my army?"

Jin Changsen looked at King Shangtai and his ministers with a sad and indignant face, "Your Majesty... Colleagues, it is true that I, Kan Changmori, are swaying from side to side, but my loyalty to the Ryukyu Kingdom is visible every day... Everything I did was just to extend the country...... Now the French have made it clear that they are unreasonable, and they have fought without declaring war..."

"Now that the foreign enemy has blocked the door, I, Jin Changsen, swear here...... Fight to the death..."

"Fight to the death... Fight to the death... The anger in the chests of the monarchs and ministers on the city wall was already bursting, and the slogan of declaring war shook the heavens and the earth.

King Shangtai, Jin Changsen, and Lin Yuanmiao No matter how fierce they shout, the war has to be fought by military generals, and now the military power of the Ryukyu Kingdom is controlled in the hands of two people, one is Admiral Cai Mao, and the other is Admiral Liang Kun.

Although the Ryukyu Kingdom is an island country, after hundreds of years of exploitation by the Japanese Shimazu family, it is already poor and cannot even afford to buy a few small sampans, which is the blessing of Tosho Lotte, who bought some small Western merchant ships in more than a year and transformed them into a small coast guard with a total tonnage of only more than 700 tons.

In fact, Xiao Letian's purpose of making such a small guard is just to reserve some sailor seeds for future warship training.

Now Cai Mao's sailors are only more than 2,000 years old, and half of these soldiers are still on the shore, and the command of all the coastal defense batteries in the Ryukyu Kingdom is also in his hands.

"Signal the guards and send flags to retreat to the reef to the north...... Never contact France and keep a safe distance of more than 10 nautical miles......"

"Give the Shuri Fort an order to prepare them for battle, and if the enemy enters Naha Bay, as soon as they enter the effective firing range, they will give me a hard shot...... Sue the American gunners, and if they shoot accurately, I will give them three times the wartime allowance..."

"Immediately inform General Liang Kun, please let him protect the coastline, especially the rear of the fort, and never let the French land... Now our only hope is these forts that we left behind, Prime Minister..."

Cai Mao rode his war horse through the streets, and behind him there were heralds turning their horses and leaving, relaying his orders to all corners of the city.

At this time, under Shuri Castle, the huge fort built next to the cliff is the last hope that Cai Mao said, an American-made 280 caliber coastal defense cannon stands here, in order to protect this cannon Xiao Lotian specially built a permanent reinforced concrete fortification, in order to protect this treasure, the construction cost of the fortification alone is enough to spend more than 25,000 taels of silver.

There were 10 such batteries in the mountains of Naha Port, but the caliber of the other batteries was far less than that of Shuri, including 4 180-caliber coastal defense guns, and the remaining five were 120-caliber guns.

But one thing is the same, these cannons are the latest rifled rear-loading guns, imported from the United States, in order to buy these cannons, the Carnegie family did not contribute less, according to the international practice at that time, the most advanced weapons could not be bought to non-Western countries.

"Where's Max, Old Max?" and how are you preparing......" General Cai Mao had just rushed into the fortifications of Shuri Fort, and began to shout loudly.

Max Sr. is a black man, a black veteran artilleryman who was discharged from military service after the American Civil War to be precise and couldn't get along. According to the original version of history, the war ended, and the end of this unskilled black man was just to live on the street and become an alcoholic.

But Xiao Lotian gave them new opportunities, and the doors of the new army and the special industrial zone were completely opened to black Americans, where Xiao Lotian gave not only three times the salary in the United States, but most importantly, dignity.

"Oh, dear general, trust me in my professionalism, as long as you can ensure that the battery is not outflanked by the enemy's army, as long as you can ensure that you have enough ammunition, then I can give these French a taste of what defeat is like..."

"Well done... I believe in you, from now on I will be here to direct the battle, I will personally be your escort, and if the enemy dares to rush up, he will step on my corpse first..."

The fleet of the French from afar was getting closer and closer, and while Naha was preparing for battle, ten warships had cleared the entire sea area, and the murderous warships had pressed against the coast to a distance of only five nautical miles from the beach.

At this moment, people's eyes suddenly lit up, and the French battleship on the distant sea shook its body, and the seventy guns on the starboard side of the Glory, plus the sixty guns of the other two frigates, fired a standard salvo.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The rain of bullets fired by a salvo of more than a hundred artillery pieces instantly covered the lookout post on the mountain peak on the south side of the port, and the strength of a squad plus the wooden tower was instantly covered by a sea of fire, and the hill was blown into a sea of fire.

"Oops... There were rifled guns inside the French fleet ... This is an upgraded version of the fleet, otherwise it would not have been possible to hit so far and so accurately..."Old Max only used his eyes to look at the shooting distance, and he had already noticed something wrong.

"Damn, shit... The commander of this fleet seems to be an expert, isn't it? General Cai...... Tell General Liang that this fleet has a very unusual origin, and their tactics are very avant-garde, so you have to be careful of the rear..."
