From the beginning of the battle to the final end, this battle of the Atlantic in Lufa was full of uncertainties, dramas and surprises. This was the first appearance of the Chinese Navy in the world, and it has also become a classic battle that later generations of military scientists have talked about and continued to study.

It is undeniable that Sun Chujian played a very important role in the whole battle, and at first he just wanted to delay a little, but in the dual factors of their brave battle and Molière's greed, the Kunshan actually achieved a brilliant victory.

The Gauls and the Kunshan were killed together, and the damage rate of the Holy also reached 15%, although they could still fight, but just now the madman-like combat spirit of the Sino-Prussian coalition army deeply shocked them.

The battlefield could not tolerate hesitation, let alone the wavering of the military spirit, looking at the French sailors struggling for help on the sea, the Holy quickly put down the dinghy and went to save people, so that the battleships involved in the pursuit of the Zhiyuan were left with the battleship Glorious and the cruiser Religious.

"Shoot! Kill these bastards......" The sailors in the dinghy subconsciously wanted to slaughter the survivors, but the captain of the Holy quickly stopped them.

France needs prisoners alive, we need confessions and diplomatic representations with the enemy, and no one is allowed to kill prisoners......"

The indignant sailors dragged all the surviving students and Prussian sailors to the dinghy and tied them up with a rope.

"Look, this is the Chinese commander......! Immediately hang to the deck for treatment, this is the best captive, with him this lawsuit will be fought!"

While the Holy was cleaning up the battlefield, the other two warships were heading west at full speed, and Molière knew very well that a single Kunshan could not afford such a large-scale attack, and those fireworks signals just now must be signaling the enemy in the west.

Rear Admiral Bruce was a little cautious, and he whispered, "A clipper ship has such terrifying combat power, we should be cautious from time to time......"

"No, there is no time, these Chinese are as cunning as foxes, they know that this sea is European, and they are far from their homeland and their supplies are definitely not enough, so it is impossible to fight...... This ship is the tail that the gecko lost in order to escape!"

"Catch up, I must see with my own eyes what a battleship worthy of a boatload of people to cover with their lives looks like......"

Perhaps it was Lady Luck who lifted her skirt to the Frenchman, and before Molière could finish his sentence, the wind on the sea suddenly increased, the keels of the two battleships rattled, and the speed of the ships increased rapidly.

Maybe it was the violent quarrel between Lin Zhen and Xiang Ying that could not be agreed, so the Zhiyuan ship lost the best chance to escape, when the figure of the Glory appeared in the east, Xiang Ying finally let go of Lin Zhen's clothes, stomped his feet fiercely and shouted, "Now you have won......! In order to keep the Zhiyuan secret, we must sink these two French warships!"

Xiang Ying has never been a coward, why he chose to retreat before was because he was afraid that the secret of the Zhiyuan would be leaked, he knew too well the importance of this battleship to the future development of the navies of various countries, not to mention the capture of the Zhiyuan, even if one or two photos or hand-paintings were leaked, it would be a sabotage in the eyes of the prime minister's plan.

The better the secrecy work is done now, the more high-tech advantages the Zhiyuan will have, and time is the most urgently needed resource in the Ryukyus.

"Boiler pressurization......! The front and rear main guns are ready for battle...... "The Zhiyuan drew a white wave arc on the sea, and the three main guns slowly rotated their heavy muzzles under the drive of the hydraulic gear set.

When the sound and shadow of the Zhiyuan appeared in front of the French, everyone was dumbfounded, and at that moment it seemed as if time had stopped, Molière had never seen such a strange battleship.

"What is this? God, tell me what kind of battleship this is? Could it be Jules Verne's Nautilus? But isn't that science fiction? And the Nautilus was originally a submarine, isn't it......"

Jules Verne is a famous French novelist, later known as the father of science fiction, he now lives in Paris and is friends with Dumas and others, his science fiction novels are all the rage in Europe, and Molière is also his book lover.

Now Molière's ultra-avant-garde design style of the Zhiyuan has made Molière's eyes shine, except for the fantasy of such a battleship in Verne's science fiction novels, can such an incredible ship really exist in reality?

The battlefield can not tolerate stunned, and now the distance between the Zhiyuan and the Glory is less than six kilometers, and now is the time to prepare for battle.

"What the hell are you doing? The enemy is already on the port side to meet the enemy, and the right side of the fleet is ready to fire a salvo...... Don't think that we are afraid of you because of your large caliber artillery, we have more artillery than yours......"

Bruce didn't know that a tremor had come out of his roar, and a fear that he had never felt before welled up in his heart.

"Closer, a little closer...... We are a converted ironclad ship, and our bow and stern guns have a caliber of 120 calibers, and even the guns in the side sides have a caliber of 76 mm...... Our firepower is far superior to that of the enemy, I have more artillery, and we have more artillery than the enemy......"

Bruce was there like a madman, but at this moment, suddenly two flames lit up on the bow and stern of the Zhiyuan in the distance, followed by a thunderous explosion.

In the Battle of the Atlantic in Liufa, the Zhiyuan fired the first shot!

The violent explosion blasted tons of seawater into the sky, and Molière and Bruce's uniforms were wet like a torrential rain, and only then did the two of them wake up from their hysteria.

"My God, the explosion point is so close, how can this battleship have such a long range? Speed up, rush up immediately......" Bruce is going crazy, although the main guns of the Glory and the Piety can barely hit a distance of six kilometers, the caliber is relatively small after all, and the cannonball has little kinetic energy to resist the attraction of the earth at the end of the flight, which means that the terminal parabola is difficult to calculate accurately.

The effective range of the Glory was supposed to be within three kilometers, and the closer you were to this distance, the higher the accuracy of the artillery. But today's Zhiyuan taught them a big lesson, the ultra-long distance of six kilometers is a distance that is unimaginable in naval warfare in this era, but the Zhiyuan also surprised everyone.

"Six kilometers? hell, what caliber is which gun? Is it more than 180 millimeters? My God, what kind of ship can withstand such a large recoil?"

"Is this a Chinese warship? When will pigtailed pigtails be able to have more warships than Europe? This is not scientific! This is not fair......

Molière's face was covered in water, and he didn't know if it was the waves that had just splashed or the horse urine, but there was a hint of crying in his roar.

"Rush up...... Salvo within three kilometers...... The only way we have now is to defeat the enemy by the number of artillery, and there is no other way......"

"Woooooooooo......oo My God, is this Xiao Lotian the whip of God that you have sent, and are you really punishing us?"
