When Yan Changwu led his navy to pounce on the Hongmaofan with great momentum, on the Hongmaofan's forward flagship "Lion", which he had just cared about, British General Michael Parker frowned.

He expressed his satisfaction with his ship, his crew, the "Lion" was the latest British battleship of the sail period, for the first time it was streamlined, faster than the previous large ships, and the British shipbuilding technology was first-class, and the naval officers who piloted the new class battleship were all delighted.

The Englishman on the battleship was devoted to his duty, preoccupied and silent, and he really had nothing to say or do, except to be dissatisfied with the tattered and shrugged sails of the ship.

Capital ships like him are like this, and the other warships are not much better, just like a group of fleets called Hanako, which are generally like a hundred clothes called Huazi, and they are mended and mended!

Michael Parker never dreamed that the United European Fleet would be so short of canvas!

The canvas was damaged in the last battle and has not been replaced.

Oh my God, it's been a year since the Chinese fought with the red hair, and the canvas hasn't been replenished!

Michael Parker knew what was going on, because the mast sail was too strong to grow larger and larger as the ship was built, it had to be made of high-grade canvas, which could not withstand high pressures.

The manufacture of high-end canvas is not a problem in Europe at all, but it is a big problem in Asia.

From Africa to the west of the Strait of Malacca, there is no high-end canvas factory, there used to be a canvas factory in the Cochin area of India, which could make high-end canvas used in galleons, but when the tide of Chinese goods hit, the Chinese dumped high-grade sail cloth for ships at one-fifth of the price of the Cochin canvas factory's products, and the Cochin canvas factory went bankrupt so miserably......

After the bankruptcy of the Cochin canvas factory, there was no manufacturer, and the Chinese embarwent on the red hair, and the red hairy fan did not ship the canvas from Europe in time, resulting in the current red hair fleet like a fleet called Hanako.

Moreover, the Chinese produce sugar in Taiwan, and the Indian region also produces sugar, and Taiwanese sugar is transported to India, which is only equivalent to two-thirds of the price of local sugar in India's sugar-producing areas, and what is even more terrifying is that Taiwanese sugar is fine and white, and has a good taste.

Good quality and low price is the business card of Chinese goods, the Chinese are diligent, and have livestock, infrastructure, technology, etc., the production efficiency is high, and the cost of the Maritime Silk Road is better than that of the Land Silk Road (large ship capacity), especially with the Chinese occupying Southeast Asia.

British general Michael Parker is considered an upper-class person, understands the national situation, and knows that the Chinese are price butchers, and the price of goods that can be manufactured has become the price of cabbage, and now this terrible "talent" has been revealed

The Chinese goods are of good quality, the prices are low, and what is even more damn is that everything is all-encompassing and can be made in everything.

As long as they can make it, they will occupy the market at an incredibly low price and completely wipe out the goods of other countries!

Therefore, other countries are left with only insignificant local products, "medicines" and silver that the Chinese cannot make, and it may be that the Chinese did not expect that their leader has only been in power for 22 years, and other countries have no way out but war!

Well, any fleet has to go into battle, but I have to say that compared to the very glamorous Chinese shipholders, the red-haired fleet is in tatters!

In the turquoise clear waters, the two fleets approached enthusiastically, eager to throw something at each other.

They drove for about three hours, about ten kilometers away, and as the saying goes, "you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry," and the ships on both sides drove open, and the sails slackened, fluttering in the wind, and then swelling again, but in less than ten minutes, and then they drooped down, and the wind was completely still.

All the boats stopped, and only the currents were working, pushing everyone slowly southeast.

Battleships, unlike cruisers, could not be driven by oars.

For a while, the sails withered, and invariably, everyone had lunch first.

Surprisingly, everyone eats very close food, Hongmao Fan eats hard biscuits with bacon, cheese, and dried beans, while Chinese people eat hard biscuits and bacon in addition to dried vegetable soup and tea.

After eating, everyone simply fooled around, because the wind blew the sea surface again, and the wind direction suddenly turned, and it was obvious that the design of the "Southeast Asia-class" battleships was excellent, and their tall and large sails only needed a weak wind to push them forward, and they were better than the "Nanhai-class" battleships.

The wind gradually increased, and the fleet rode the wind and waves, making the best use of the wind, and the queens untied the winches and pulled the sails to make better use of the wind.

Sailing in the sail period looks romantic, but in fact it is troublesome enough, the wind improves a little and then becomes insufficient, the waves slow down the ship in reverse, and if the mid-mast sail cannot be opened, the ship will never reach its maximum speed.

Everyone approached at turtle speed, "Prepare to turn!" "On the lead ship, Cheng Yu's order was issued, Southeast Asia No. 5 began to grab the wind, everything went well, the starboard full sail was successfully adjusted, and the sail rope was very tight, like the strings of a harp.

The battleships behind also followed, and at this time the red-haired fleet also began to rush to the wind and turn direction, the ship turned, the sail booms reversed direction one by one, everyone tried their best, it seemed to take a long time, and finally approached, the leading ships on both sides met, and the sailors were even relieved.

It's finally time to fire, it's already two o'clock in the afternoon!

It's late, the sun is shining, and it's a good time to dry up.

Now the South-East Fleet sailed out to the south-west of Ceylon and had the upper hand, while the Hongmaofan Fleet was between Ceylon and the South-East Fleet, at a disadvantage, and everyone was satisfied.

The generals on both sides were nervously watching the wind direction and measuring each other's positions, and the distance at this time was three hundred meters, Cheng Yu ordered "Volley, fire!" ”

Within seconds, a 912-pound swarm of shells stormed the Red-haired battleship "Dutchdea", and the Chinese gunners hit the rate of hits were extremely high, and most of the shells hit the hull of the unfortunate battleship solidly, and its bow was crooked, almost breaking away from the formation, and the Red-haired Fanmen screamed and roared, trying to correct its course to follow the group.

At the same time, the Chinese ships opened fire together, and the shells came one after another, hitting the Hongmaofan warship, and the ships actually had a feeling of staggering.

As soon as the war started, the red-haired fans couldn't help but be surprised, the firepower of this Chinese was fierce enough!
