The target distance is 2400, and the relative speed is 5.5. Forward approach! Prepare for engagement! ”

"The captain has an order! The deck is in place, the artillery is in place, the stormtroopers receive their muskets and stand by in the dining room, and each post is confirmed to be fixed nearby! ”

"Drop the dinghy! Check the sail lines! The whole ship enters the movement war, guarding against impact, guarding against bombing, and guarding against rolling! ”

"Ten minutes before the battle! The last roll call of each post! ”

The shouts and shouts, the tension of the hustle and bustle, the sails of the Golden Deer stretched to the maximum, the sails swelled against the wind, lifted the bow of the ship, and smashed the oncoming waves.

Lorraine wore the captain's trench coat and stood at the tip of the bow against the wind. His feet were on the forehead of the bow statue, his antlers were held in one hand, and his long knife was clenched in one hand, and his body stood still despite the wind and waves!

In front of his eyes is a magnificent oil painting of the sea battle.

In the upper left corner of the oil painting is the wind and clouds, which are connected to the sky and the sea below, and there is a rumbling cannon sound on the back of the horizon, like a landslide, like thunder.

The battle at the mouth of the No. 1 channel should be in full swing, and Nelson's Badger met the Chupiter, which was superior to him in all respects, in a narrow sea area, with nowhere to retreat, no way to escape, and the difficulty of the battle was not much more difficult than that of the Golden Deer.

This young general, who will eventually go down in history, indeed has a charisma worthy of his historical status, and as a matter of course, he takes on the most restrictive battlefield, and is willing to put himself on the altar for the sake of victory.

What's even more worrying is that Lorraine still does not dare to guarantee Nelson's safe return.

Has the Battle of Lerobel ever happened in history?

The purpose of Operation Halloween was to crush the French defense fleet, and given the strength of the two sides, Nelson suggested that the key to this operation could only be the expectation of the Golden Deer or Lorraine.

How likely was it that Lorraine in history would meet a young Nelson? What are the chances of piloting an elite Tier 5 ship to appear in this area at this time?

If Nelson had not lived without Lorraine in history, would he have been able to find a suitable replacement? Is the substitute strong and credible enough for him to come up with a Halloween-like adventure?

Too many conditions, too many restrictions.

Lorraine doesn't feel that her current self has the ability to pry the heavy wheels of history, but if it only affects one or two independent lives, it seems that it will be easy with the current size of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

If......

Lorraine suddenly remembered an interesting proposition, is it history that determines fate, or does fate shape history?

If Nelson had died in this war that had been insignificant to human history, would England's national fortunes have changed? In the future Trafalgar, will anyone be able to stop Napoleon's ambition to reign over the world?

Answer...... It seems obvious.

Lorraine shook her head boringly, and suddenly felt a little distracted.

The so-called great men are only the lucky ones who have been chosen by current events, and they may move history, leave a mark, and change humanity, but first, they have to stand out from the countless candidates.

This is fundamentally different from the philosophical question of chicken or egg, universe or human being.

When Nelson is dead, Collingwood or some other good general will step up. The miracle on which the sun never sets was not created by Trafalgar's miracle, nor was the glory and end of Napoleon changed by a small cannonball or two.

This is historical materialism.

Thinking of this, the smoke in the upper left corner returned to its reality in Lorraine's eyes, and there was no more vision of heaven and earth, and even the rumbling cannon sound became nothing.

After all...... The distance between the two battlefields is a full dozen kilometers apart, and compared to it, it is obvious that the fierce battle in the lower right corner of the oil painting is more realistic.

Collingwood is at the crossing of the fifth channel with one against two, and one with one husband.

As the water splashed on the turbulent sea, the Wasp folded its sails, lowered its anchor, and swaggered sideways in the center of the flower field like a latch, forcibly sealing off the enemy's access with its own hull.

Lorraine could hear the deep despair of the French in the sound of the cannons.

The narrow passage could not be paralleled and could not be turned, and the twelve-pounder cannon in the bow of the Brig had little effect on the Wasp of its class, while the Wasp could show off its eighteen-pound minions and vent its desire to fight with cannon fire.

The passage left the French with so little room to evade, and given the density of the projectiles, it was unrealistic for them to even give up their own side.

Because once it gets within 300 meters of the Wasp, there may be a dozen red-hot heavy shells coming at you, and then increasing at a British rate of two to three rounds a minute, until they are sent to the bottom of the sea.

The battlefield there is so ridiculous.

Obviously, both sides have a firm belief in serving the country and sacrificing, but for the sake of the overall situation, these warriors invariably chose the most perfunctory tactics.

With a point-of-fire battle 800 meters apart and a probability of less than one in 1,000, these two figures alone are enough to leave a strong mark on Collingwood's military resume.

And it was Lorraine who directly caused this situation.

In a hurry, the Golden Deer and the Lucky Horseshoe finally entered the battle circle at the beginning of the main battle, successfully blocking the fourth channel to the fifth channel to break the siege.

The timing of the entry into the war was precise.

The embarrassed Golden Deer attracted all the attention of the Andes, and the good thing was that Lorraine didn't need to think about further widening the gap between friend and foe after merging with Collingwood......

The Andean forms the main picture of this oil painting on the battlefield.

The huge Andean lay in front of the Golden Deer, and had completed the preparations for the bombardment, the dense side gun doors opened uniformly, and the black hole of the gun came forward, just waiting for the reckless prey to crash into her best range.

Murderous Intent......

Lorraine snorted softly: "Hey, obviously you already see me as a layman, and you still put yourself in a safe defensive position...... Is this the war literacy of a veteran? ”

Lorraine recalled the life of the Count of Gewodan in the intelligence, which was mediocre and did not seek merit, but Gu never made a major mistake in his life, and his personal resume was extremely glorious.

He was undoubtedly a difficult opponent, like the Andean on the other side, a clumsy beast with no force, but he easily erased Lorraine's advantage with the simplest of greetings.

The T-head was in the hands of Revo, and the originally planned assault had little chance of winning.

The second option is a roundabout......

The Andean had given up racing, but the flamboyant shoulk, bow sail and dense sail between mast and mast had retained its ability to turn quickly.

This means that it will be difficult for Lorraine to regain the lead through sports.

So what about slowly retreating and luring the snake out of the hole?

Suddenly, there was a burst of cannon fire, reminding Lorraine that the sea they were now in was less than three kilometers from the Wasp.

As long as Lorraine dares to retreat, Revodang dares to abandon Lorraine and go straight to the fifth channel.

This is not speculation!

As if afraid that Lorraine would not be able to think of this joint, the bow of the Andes was now aimed at the Wasp, like a woman leaning in a dark alley and undressed, and no man could have misunderstood her identity.

"Damn veteran! Damn steady! ”

Lorraine gritted her teeth and cursed, which happened to be in sync with little Pierce on the lookout.

"Target distance 500, relative speed 4.7 knots, engage!"

All the nonsense became meaningless with this engagement.

The mission of the warrior is to fight, the mission of the merchant is to fight, and nothing else.

Case......

"Left side rudder cut wind! Keep your distance! Lorraine drew his long knife and pointed straight in the direction of the Andes, "Starboard, fire!" ”

“ATTTTTACK！”
