The remnant blood flag of the navy began to slowly fall from the top of the mast, the Zhiyuan stopped the strong wind pressurization, and the pressure of the boiler began to gradually decrease. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xiang Ying's hand had been bandaged, and he was now slowly heading towards the sea off Port Said, where there were no more places for so many warships to anchor, and the Combined Fleet had to anchor in the open sea for a short rest.

Looking at the battleships behind them coming out of the mouth of the canal, the French troops in Port Said finally accepted their fate, and the shore fire guns on the port batteries did not dare to fire after chasing them, although the shells had been unpacked and the medicine bags were ready, but at the last moment they still retreated.

"I feel a bit like a lion fighting a rabbit, and I used too much force...... Xiang Ying looked at the flag bearer who was stacking the remnant blood flag and suddenly said.

Of course, Cai Bixuan could understand the wit in these words, and she smiled bitterly, "Yes, I knew that this French battleship was so vulnerable, we really shouldn't have taken out this flag......"

Under the banner of residual blood, there is no advance or retreat, and there is victory and no defeat!

This was supposed to be the last resort to boost morale at the life-and-death moment of the battle, but it feels a bit wasteful to use it here today.

The world underestimated the Zhiyuan, and even the Chinese themselves underestimated the advanced of the Zhiyuan, although the Zhiyuan was bound to win in Xiang Ying's mind, but after this violent collision, the Zhiyuan itself was destined to be injured, and even needed a lot of repairs.

Before the impact, almost everyone thought that this was a lose-lose victory, and even Xiao Lotian himself was very worried, without showing the strong confidence he usually had.

It is precisely because people's hearts are full of this pessimistic inference that there is a deafening roar of broken jade, and there is the remnant blood flag fluttering in the wind.

But what happened later made a big joke for these young people, and the hammer was rounded, thinking that it would smash on the red anvil mountain and sparks would fly, but they didn't expect the hammer to smash directly on the eggs with a pop, which made everyone embarrassed.

Xiang Ying looked at the gauze on his hand and shook his head helplessly, "I used too much force!

This unexpected collision was undoubtedly a great stimulus to the European naval design community, and those arrogant and conservative battleship design masters closed their mouths one after another and began to think about whether the previous judgment was reasonable.

Prior to this, the naval design community had always been not optimistic about the rebellious design concept of the Zhiyuan, and their consciousness was still stuck in the design concept of the era of sail warships, such as large ships, many guns, and sideside salvos.

In their hearts, the shortcomings of the Zhiyuan are too many to count.

First of all, the cost is too high, the cost of one Zhiyuan ship is enough for three sail battleships, and the British Navy has a headache in the face of such a cost.

The second is that the maintenance of steel battleships is too expensive and cumbersome. As long as the wooden sail warship is properly maintained, there is generally no problem with its use, even for two or three hundred years.

But what about steel warships? Even if they are well maintained, fifty or sixty years will be the limit of use, and then the navy will have to build new ships to fill the gap.

Thirdly, the supplies needed for such a purely steam-powered warship were too cumbersome to run long distances, and if you wanted to circle the earth, you would have to have countless ports that could supply coal.

Fourth, although the cannons arranged on the central axis can rotate at a large angle, the number of artillery is too small, what is the use of a large caliber, or the multi-gun salvo of a sail battleship is more powerful.

The shortcomings of the Zhiyuan are endless, and there is no end to it for three days and three nights, and Xiang Ying and others are studying in Europe, so they are naturally very familiar with these remarks.

The perennial exposure to their ears and eyes has made them a little worried in their hearts. Not enough today, the powerful Zhiyuan once again gave them one, this kind of pure steel giant ship is really an epoch-making product, and it can't be judged by old concepts at all.

Cai Bixuan smiled and said, "I just chatted with Mr. Kevin, and the professionals explained it clearly, our Zhiyuan is all made of steel from the inside out, especially the sturdiness of the keel is the pinnacle of the Prussian steel industry......"

"On the surface, there are a lot of new technologies on the surface, such as steam power, steel armor guards, etc., but in the bones it is still the old one, the iron armor is completely wooden-hulled, and the keel is also teak, how can this compare with us?"

"Even if they could borrow the power of the wind, but did they think about the force limit of the mast and the hull? Fortunately, the wind was a little lighter today, and if the wind was three levels stronger, maybe the force of the wind would have broken all three of their masts......

Just when the two of them were analyzing today's pros and cons, Jin Sanshun's hurried voice suddenly came from behind them, "Hurry up, hurry up...... The Führer is summoned, hurry up!"

"Now that kid has been scolded as a grandson...... Seeing that the next batch is us, you should be mentally prepared! This is not going to be easy today......

After saying that, Jin Sanshun ran away and went to find Lin Zhen again, and Xiang Ying's eyes showed a trace of panic: "What should I do? Privately formulating military orders, will this make the Führer feel that we have a heart of disobedience? What can we do......

Cai Bixuan's face turned pale, her brain spun rapidly, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiang Ying's injured left hand, and pinched the gauze bandage that had just been bandaged.

"Oops...... What are you doing, it hurts!"

"Stop talking, what you have to do now is a bitter trick, if you don't make yourself miserable, then wait for the master to make you miserable!"

The blood stained the gauze red again, and even trickled down the gap, Xiang Ying didn't dare to delay any longer, and strode towards the Führer's cabin.

As soon as they approached the hatch, they saw the Führer's guards wincing at them, followed by a roar in the room: "Little bunny, who told you to go to the front line? Crawl on the table and pout your ass!"

Syllable...... Syllable...... Syllable...... As soon as he heard the sound of the big belt pumping his ass, Xiao Letian was crazy today, and the row of bullets just now almost scared him to death.

"Oops...... Master...... Spare me...... Oh ...... "There are only two kinds of corporal punishment that Zaichun has suffered in his life, one is that the master beats the palm of his hand with a ring ruler, and the other is that the queen mother orders him to kneel on the ancestral tablet.

But today he tried a whole new kind of torture, that is, fried meat with a belt!

Xiao Letian's cowhide pants belt was rounded and pumped on Zaichun's buttocks, his evil fire had long been suffocated, when Jaechun was disobedient and ran to the front line in Vladivostok, he wanted to whip him.

In the end, because of the urgency of the war, the result was changed to a tight closure, and today it is a new account and an old account are counted together, and it is pulled down!
