readx; Chapter 419: Get out of the way! Otherwise, fire! (Below) (for the alliance leader, fluttering beauties plus more!) ）

As the golden blood-colored dragon flag came into sight, Lucivid's face was very ugly, they had not confirmed where the so-called Ming Empire was, although they had already guessed that it might be in Australia, but because the Far East Fleet of the empire had been wiped out before, and it was not known who did it, at least there was no direct evidence, although there were officers and soldiers who survived, but the number was too small, and they couldn't even find the people of the so-called Ming Empire, where to contact?

But in the South Seas, he has seen and heard of this blood-colored dragon flag more than once, and now, Lucived has seen it with his own eyes, which means that everything is true, because at such a close distance, Lucived was a little horrified to find that the other party's warships are all the latest ironclad ships, and although all the battleships have masts, they are lookouts, not sails!

This means that the opposing warships are all equipped with a steam power system, so it's no wonder that the black plume of smoke can be seen from afar! I have to, Liu Fei still has some ~~ eggs for this smoke column, this thing is simply made up by himself to confuse people, when will the black smoke column produced by the steam boiler appear in Nima's modern power system. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But it doesn't matter, steam boilers are super advanced in this era, and of course, it's good news for the British to think it's a steam boiler. And this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is the tonnage of the opponent's warships, the newest battleships of the Sun Never Sets Empire, that is, these battleships under Lucived, which are all newly built, and even the Imperial Navy Minister minds the transfer of warships from the Atlantic Fleet to form the Far East Fleet.

Then add new ships to the Indian Ocean Fleet or the Atlantic Fleet, after all, these are the places where the most important colonies of the empire are located. The Atlantic Ocean is home to South America, Canada, Iceland and Africa, while the Indian Ocean is home to the Middle East and India, the jewel of the empire on which the sun never sets! These are the places where the sun never sets is the essence of the empire! But Lucived used the power of the family to knock back all such minds.

The Far Eastern Fleet led by him must have the latest warships, because there is also the most important economic source of the British Empire! Silver Source! That's the Qing Empire! So in the end, after discussion between the House of Lords and the House of Commons, they agreed to his plan and gave all the new warships to his Far East Fleet, including these latest transports!

But the displacement of his latest battleship is only about 2,500 tons, which is already a quite powerful battleship in Lucived's opinion, but after seeing the opponent's fleet, Lucived's face turned iron, because the displacement of the opponent's battleship is at least more than 5,000 tons! Even more than 6000 tons! This volume is terrifying!

The huge size means that the opponent has a large number of artillery, such a battleship can even completely destroy several of their battleships, the number of artillery is quite important, not to mention, from the point of view of intelligence, the opponent's artillery power is extremely powerful! So Lucived didn't dare to be careless at all, but he was not timid either, the soldiers of the British Empire were never afraid of death!

"Tell each other in flag language that this is the Royal Far East Fleet of the British Empire, whoever they are, let them take a detour." Lucived saw that the opposing fleet had traveled to a distance of about 3 kilometers, and immediately spoke to his lieutenant.

The distance of 3,000 meters is still too far for the current artillery technology, and the current artillery can fight more than 2,000 meters at most, but most of the real artillery engagements are at a distance of about 1,000 meters, or even closer. Of course, this is for the artillery of the British fleet, and for Liu Fei's artillery, if he wants, when the other party can't see him at all, he will be directly bombarded into the sea by the artillery.

"General, look at the other side's battleships, why aren't there many guns?" At this time, Lucived's adjutant did not pass on the order immediately, but asked.

Lucived raised his eyebrows, then picked up the telescope in his hand again, and looked closely, sure enough, just as his adjutant did, the other party's gun ports were very few on both sides of the battleship, not like their battleships, at least the two sides were densely packed with gun ports, and the other side seemed to have only a few gun ports on both sides. This made Lucived also a little puzzled, could it be that this was not a battleship, but an armed merchant ship.

The number of guns of the armed merchant ship will be so small, it will not be like a battleship, all sides are full of muzzles, and the number of guns on the other side is too small, you know, now the battleship at the foot of Lucived has a total of 120 guns! And the other side only has a dozen doors, which is not a quantitative level at all, but is such a huge ship just an armed merchant ship?

However, even if it is an armed merchant ship, Lucived does not want to clash with the other party, because the other party is an ironclad ship! Their artillery is almost useless against each other, and most importantly! The gap between the other party's size and theirs is too great, and even if you hit them directly, you can send them to the bottom of the sea. So after thinking about it, Lucived spoke: "Convey my order, or the same sentence just now, let them detour, whether they are armed merchant ships or warships." ”

"Yes! Checkmate! Lucived's lieutenant immediately gave a military salute, then turned to deliver the order.

"Captain, captain, the British hit the sailfish and let the fleet of the Ming Empire on the opposite side detour, but I don't think this is the fleet of the Ming Empire, right? Look at the muzzles on their ships, the muzzles are too few, and they are estimated to be more than 20 guns in total, and there are only more than 20 guns on such a large ship, this should be a merchant ship, right? Like us, armed merchant ships. Li Changfu's lookout hand said quickly.

Li Changfu took out his treasure binoculars and looked at it, and then shook his head and said: "It's not like, if it was an armed merchant ship, it should have seen the opponent's fleet in an attack form, there is no need to rush up so directly, let's continue to look at the situation, since the British have raised the flag, the other party should respond quickly." ”

"Let me take a detour?" Liu Fei almost laughed out loud when he heard Liu Yi's words, Nima, although I don't know who the commander on the other side is, can't you tell that Lao Tzu is here to find fault? Let me take a detour, if I had taken a detour, I would have done it a long time ago.

"It is estimated that we are regarded as armed merchant ships, after all, the number of artillery on our ships is too small, and the number of artillery in this era is so small, only armed merchant ships." Liu Zhibing quickly guessed the other party's thoughts.

"Regardless of him, pass on my orders, tell the other party, just reply to Lao Tzu with eight words, get out of the way! Otherwise, fire! Liu Fei said viciously.

"Get out of the way? Or fire?! When Li Changfu heard the flag words conveyed by his sailors, his heart was stirred! How domineering does this have to be to say such a thing to the number one naval power in the world now?! Oh no, it should be, knowing that the other party is a battleship and that he is just an armed merchant ship, but he still dares to say such things! This is called domineering!! When will these people be able to encounter these warships only as armed merchant ships, tell each other directly, and get out of the way?!

"Get out of the way? Or fire?! Lucived's face turned dark, and he almost scolded, if it weren't for his aristocratic status, he would have scolded directly, but his face couldn't see anywhere, he was silent for a while, and then he spoke directly: "Tell the other party that if you ram our fleet, you will be the enemy of the British Empire!" It is to declare war on the British Empire! ”

The adjutant immediately passed on the order, and when Luci Weide's flag was seen by both sides, Li Changfu immediately raised his telescope and looked at the fleet of the Ming Empire, he wanted to see how the fleet of the Ming Empire responded! It's just that, soon, Li Changfu saw something that made him absolutely incredible! Because he saw the flagship of the fleet of the Ming Empire in front of him, and then directly turned horizontally, and then something that made Li Changfu tremble happened, and the horizontal hull of that battleship flashed! A few clouds of black smoke came out directly!

Fired?! How did you just shoot like that? Not even a response?! Li Changfu shivered excitedly, and almost instantly turned the telescope to the side of the British, the muzzle velocity of the shell was close to 1000 meters per second, and it was only three seconds to fly over the distance of less than 3000 meters, and what frightened Li Changfu the most was that the other party's flagship seemed to have only three or four artillery guns, but something frightening happened.

Just next to a battleship next to the flagship of the British Empire, in an instant, the entire battleship seemed to be ignited, and a violent fire burst out on the deck! Flames burst into flames with smoke almost instantly! And the port side was directly blasted out of a huge hole, and Li Changfu even saw from the telescope that countless artillery pieces were directly blown out and flew out, and then fell into the water!

The entire battleship was destroyed by a fifth in an instant! The masts on the deck were all destroyed, and Li Changfu saw countless sailors falling into the water, and there was a violent roar in his ears at this time. The sea is silent! The sailors on several ships on Li Changfu's side rushed to the deck, quietly watching this scene, everyone was dumbfounded!

But there seemed to be something in their hearts that could not be out, almost rushing out of their chests! I don't know when two tears fell from the corners of Li Changfu's eyes! How long has it been?! How many years! How many years have you been adrift on this ocean! I am used to seeing the rampant domineering of foreigners, and I am used to seeing Chinese people being bullied in all kinds of ways, but I have never seen it! Never felt like this! On the other side is the British fleet, known as the empire on which the sun never sets! Just a one-shot bombardment? And don't even bother to give an answer?! Boom on boom?
