The first and third ships, the second and fourth ships are not qualified to be named as training warships, and in the naval rules formulated by Xiao Letian, if a merchant ship or transport ship has not crossed the Pacific Ocean, it is not qualified to be named.

If it is a battleship, it is even stricter, and a battleship that has not participated in actual combat has only a number and no naming right.

The full load displacement of the three clippers is only forty or fifty tons, which is already the smallest ocean-going merchant ship on the sea in the 19th century, but such a ship Xiao Letian actually stuffed each ship with three hundred sailors.

In Xiao Letian's original words, Asia has fallen far behind in the process of conquering the sea, and if it does not catch up, the gap will become wider and wider.

Xiao Letian's method is very simple and barbaric, that is, to rush up the scale first, and then choose real gold in the big waves. Isn't there a lack of talent? It's very simple, I'd rather waste my resources than recruit a large number of sailors and sailors, and use a huge base to solve the problem of scarcity of talent.

You European may be able to pick out a top-notch talent out of 10 sailors, our foundation is not as good as yours, we can expand the scale, I can pick one out of 100 sailors, right? Anyway, it is unimaginable that the population base of Asia is large, and Xiao Lotian is not afraid of wasting resources anyway.

To tell the truth from the bottom of my heart, this kind of talent selection mechanism of choosing real gold is actually very cruel, he is a bit like the thousands of troops in later generations squeezing a single-plank bridge to participate in the college entrance examination, knowing that only a small number of people can become elite talents in this mode, and most of the other people can only sink silently.

However, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the unusually large base that more top-notch talents can be screened out, which is a very effective means of talent training for weak countries to catch up with strong countries.

In Xiao Letian's plan, it is destined that a large number of sailors will not be able to board the future ironclad battleship for the rest of their lives, and they are destined to not be able to fight the enemy on the ocean, and fate is cruel to them. But for the Chinese Navy, which has completely lagged behind the world, the sacrifice is worth it.

The three training ships A3, C2, and C4 had just appeared in the waters of Guotou, and they attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield, and the soldiers in the ridge trenches waved their arms and shouted at the battleships at sea, and the excited soldiers even threw their hats into the air.

"Ahh Rush up...... Take out that ship...... Don't forget that there are many of you......" In the eyes of the young people of the militia, there are 900 sailors on the three training ships, and even if they are all cadet soldiers, this number has far exceeded that of France.

The Wavebreaker has more than 200 sailors at full capacity, and as long as the training ship is allowed to fight hand-to-hand, these Frenchmen will definitely die.

"Retreat...... Signal the Wavebreaker...... Let them get out of here and leave us alone......" After all, the Marine Corps officer had not experienced the explosion, and his mind was still quite clear, and he knew that something bad was going to happen as the Wavebreaker spun uncontrollably on the sea.

"Marines...... We're going to have to fight hard for a while to get back to the village and build up the fortifications, but don't worry, we've already sent flares to the main fleet, and I'm sure it won't be a few hours before our reinforcements arrive......"

"Warriors of France, let us hold out until dark, and in the evening our reinforcements will arrive..."

In stark contrast to the calm sanity of the Army commanders, the Navy is now unusually chaotic. Although the Wavebreaker escaped, the aftermath of the explosion just now also made it miserable, the captain hit his head on the mast and is still unconscious, the first mate is missing, and the last dozen or so sailors have proved that the first mate has flown to the sea.

The entire battleship is now completely in a state of no command, and it is easy to catch a major who is actually the biggest official who can be sober on the scene.

"I, I, I...... What can I do? The lookout is gone, the helmsman is injured, and we have only one way to retreat......"

Okay, since the commander ordered the retreat, then let's escape, but manipulating the battleship is not a toy, and without the unified action of various departments, the ship will not be able to be driven alive or dead.

"Enemy ship...... Look, three enemy ships are rushing up in the western seas......" A terrible shout suddenly sounded from the deck, and the soldiers looked up to see that three clippers were speeding towards them through the waves.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The bow guns of the three training ships were the first to fire, and why did this group of immoral Chinese shoot at such a high angle? All the shells came at the sails.

"Oh no, these Chinese are going to capture us...... Fight back, fight back now..."

"Report to the sir, there is no way to fight back, now there is chaos in the firing compartment, the artillery is shifted, shells and gunpowder are rolling everywhere, and it is a mess......"

"Oh God... Why are you punishing me like this... Full sails retreat......" The major who chased the ducks on the shelves covered his eyes in pain.

It's not so easy to run, the speed of a training ship transformed with a merchant ship is an advantage, and the clipper ship is a sea scud in the era of sail wooden ships, even if some warships are transformed, his speed is not comparable to that of a pure warship.

"Rush up, rush up...... I said that Miss Cai will not lie to us, and now she has really caught a big fish......"

"Okay, I didn't expect their whimsical mines to really get it, these college students who have read foreigners' books are better than us, and I'm convinced if I take them......"

The sea was filled with the shouts of Ryukyu soldiers, and the three warships swooped down from west to east with an indomitable determination.

"Fire, keep shooting...... Tearing up their sails, they want to run away......? Avenge your brothers on land......"

At this time, the deck of the clipper was full of sailors armed with various weapons, and even a large number of people climbed onto the masts, and some even hung on the cables like apes.

Wow whoa, the howling sailors don't look like soldiers in the eyes of the French, isn't this just a bunch of pirates? If the costumes are a little more messy, they are really no different from pirates.

The speed of the clipper ship was very fast, and after a while, people could clearly see the panicked enemy on the deck of the Wave Crusher, and until now the French artillery had not fired, and it seemed that the explosion just now really damaged their vitality.

"Look at the nautical mile...... I cāo... There are people fighting under the water...... Who has such a kind of ......" The eyes of the lookout on the No. 3 training ship are really poisonous, and they found blood stains in the sea water and figures fighting back and forth in a sweep like a radar.

The fishermen of Guotou Village fought their own prestige, and although the two water ghosts did not blow up the Wave Crusher, they leaned on their shoulders and backs, and fought with more than a dozen French sailors with only two harpoons.

The tragic scene of their homes being destroyed and their relatives being killed is still replaying in front of their eyes, and the hatred has turned the originally honest fishermen into poisonous dragons in the sea.

The specially sawed harpoons were still more than two feet long, the bayonets and daggers in the hands of the French were no match at all, and the two water spirits in the sea were as vigorous as the legendary sea dragons, and the enemies were always stabbed by the harpoons between the tumbling and moving.

If this was a normal time, if the Waverider had not been damaged by the shock wave, the French sailors would have been able to use their numerical advantage to exterminate the water ghosts, but now that the battleship was in chaos, the first sailors to jump into the sea would have no reinforcements.

As the clippers got closer and closer, they were in full view of the underwater struggle, and all the Ryukyu sailors were shouting feverishly for the brave fishermen.

The two fishermen in the sea were completely possessed by sea fighters, and they actually killed the surface of the water little by little under the siege of several times the enemy, and when the tall water ghost stabbed a French sailor to death like lightning, he suddenly stabbed out of the bottom of the sea like a swordfish.

The water splashes rolling, the white waves splash everywhere, and the head water ghost with tendons and flesh looks up to the sky and roars, "It's enjoyable...... It's fun to kill...... It's not a big deal that the foreigner has a big nose on a dog day..."

All the sailors on the three flying clippers were suddenly shocked, and the momentum of the nine hundred people was actually taken away in an instant, followed by a thunderous shout, "There is a kind... Attaboy...... Heroes leave a font size..."

The water ghost had never been so glorious in his life, and he raised his harpoon and shouted, "Lao Tzu is from Guotou Village...... My name is ......"

With a crisp snap, his voice stopped abruptly, and a small bright red flower suddenly burst on his brow, and a waterfall of red blood flowed down.

There was a dead silence on the sea, save for the sound of sailboats piercing the waves, and on the deck of the Broken Waves, the major had just organized a group of musketeers, the muzzle of his rifle still smoking, and his aiming posture had not changed at all.

"Damn barbarian, you dare to show off your might in front of the French soldiers, this is what will happen to you..."

The fire of life gradually extinguished in the eyes of the water ghost, and the hero who killed the enemy in front of everyone's eyes sank to the bottom of the sea, and he did not leave a name for this world until he died, he came to this world silently, but left this world earth-shatteringly, and more than 30 years of life seemed to be just for the glory of today's moment.

There was a sound of seawater, and the little water ghost suddenly came out, carrying the corpse of the dead eldest brother on his shoulder, and wept bitterly, "Big brother, wake up... Look, I just slaughtered another ...... "Tears melted into the sea and salted over the sea.

"I'm your ancestor..."A roar suddenly erupted from the flying clipper's boat, and a figure jumped high and stabbed straight at the bottom of the sea, "Brother...... I'll take you home, and I'll kill the devil for you..."

One, two, innumerable, countless sailors crackled and dropped from the flying clipper, and they swam towards the survivors like crazy.

"The musketeers fired...... The sailman sails north...... Clear the shooting deck...... Even if there is only one that can be shot, you have to fire..."The major on the Wave Breaker still maintained a pure military appearance, and not a single qiē in front of him could touch his heart.

Bang Bang Bang ...... The French sailors picked up their rifles and shot mercilessly at the sea, and countless Ryukyu sailors who saved people were hit, and the sea was bright red.
