Almost after the New Year, the Southeast Fleet, after a week of adaptive training, pointed its sword at Taipei!

On the leading flagship "Southeast Mansion", Yan Changwu looked at the warships and warships behind him with satisfaction.

Taipei is also a borderless land, there is no decent hostile fleet and army, Yan Changwu took the battleship formation there, purely to show off.

In this sortie, there were one third-class battleship, two fifth-class ships, and 10 fast cruisers (sixth-class ships), plus 20 transport ships of various kinds, and 2,000 marines were dispatched to Taipei.

Yan Changwu first conscientiously commanded the voyage for a whole day, and found that he was quite competent, so he handed over the command to the seamen who were preparing for the examination, such as the deputy captain Yan Donglai, and asked him to learn to command the third-class warship, and he chatted with the British, his captain of navigation, Mr. David.

Everyone saw a strange thing, Yan Changwu, who is Han, uses English, and Mr. David, who is a red-haired fan, uses Chinese, and the two of them talk like chickens and ducks.

"Look at our battleship, with a big RU room and a big ass, how can it run fast!" In English, Yan Changwu was not afraid that others would listen to him speak vulgarly, he pointed to the towering forward and stern compartments of his battleship and the fifth-class ship and said: "The battleships in the future, no matter how many levels they have, will be as flat as our current fast cruisers!" ”

"That's not pretty, it's not majestic enough!" Mr. David said disappreciatively.

"The Spanish galleon is beautiful and majestic enough, I command a fast battleship, and you command a Spanish galleon with twice the guns, let's compare!" Yan Changwu said triumphantly: "You lose!" ”

The trick to victory is to use the maneuverability of the cruiser to form an oblique angle to the galleon, so that the galleon's cannon cannot hit the cruiser, and the cruiser lets the galleon's guns taste the fire, and moreover, if it can't be hit, the cruiser can escape.

"Overseer! You're talking about fighting alone, but if it's a battle line, can you fight like this? Mr. David retorted.

"Spanish galleons join the battle line? How is that possible! Yan Changwu said with a smile.

"Or something like that!" Mr. David said vaguely.

"Not really." Yan Changwu shook his head and said: "The battleship depends on the firepower, speed and protection, and finally reaches a balance, I dare to bet with you, after thirty years, we can make such a bet, one silver dollar this year, two silver dollars next year, four silver dollars the year after tomorrow, double every year, and everyone will settle after thirty years." ”

Today's people bully the ancients, Yan Changwu made a game cunningly, such a gambling method, on the surface, it seems that there are not many silver dollars, if Mr. David calculates on the spot, he will find that in thirty years he will be bankrupt, and he will not be able to afford to sell himself.

However, he is a smart man, although he did not count, he also said wisely: "People can't gamble with the Son of God (referring to Yan Changwu as the golden boy under the throne of Mazu)!" ”

Because, Mr. David chewed the words and said, "God will come out of a thousand to help you!" You're sure to win! ”

"It's not fun!" Seeing that he refused to gamble, Yan Changwu shrugged and said.

"You are a big gamble, there are many interesting things, this time we occupy Taipei, you are worthy of the name of the lord of Taiwan!"

Others don't dare to say that, foreigners are really frank and tell things out, this is also Yan Changwu from the future likes to brag with foreign devils like Mr. David (he has a good family background, he is the son of a great nobleman, and he is more qualified), otherwise it feels really bad to be alone.

The monarchs of the East have few friends, while the monarchs of the West are relatively weak, but have a group of friends who can talk and play together.

Yan Changwu laughed, and opened his arms like the Titanic: "I am the king of the world!" (English)

The sound was loud, startling a flock of seagulls that followed the actions of the battleship, these seagulls were very smart, because the ship was rich in supplies, and the journey was dull, and the sailors teased the seagulls with food, plus the sailors fished and fished, and of course the seagulls were launched into the water, and over time, the seagulls were all raised.

Of course, this is the near sea, and the seagulls follow, and they may not be willing to follow the ocean.

"Then I am the servant of the king of the world!" Mr. David stroked his chest and saluted him with a compliment.

"Let's go to my cabin and have a cup of tea!" Yan Changwu invited.

"Stubborn!" Mr. Davy spoke clearly.

As senior officers, it is not a matter for them to slip away during the day, and the ordinary officers and soldiers are very busy, but after the next shift, there is still a place to go except for food.

Compared with the various naval powers that are not concerned about the lives of the officers and soldiers, Yan Dashao treats the officers and men very well, and he has established an officer's club and a sailor's club for the officers and soldiers in the military port on the shore or in the place where many warships are stationed, so that the officers and soldiers have a place to go for recreation, and also serve as a waiting room for boarding the ship.

In fact, most of the officers and men trust the clubs of their own fleet when they are bored.

There you can drink tea, drink, eat, read books, and have fun.

The Navy's entertainment includes chess, Go, checkers, military chess, flying chess, beast chess, etc., and the most important form of entertainment is playing poker.

The above entertainment methods are all completed by Yan Dashao!

On the ship, an officer's recreation room and a sailor's recreation room were set up, and in addition to various entertainments, there were also Chinese-style piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance.

At the same time, he was willing to invest in clubs and recreation rooms on ships, he paid for entertainment products, and he was willing to pay for tea, which was better than that of other naval powers, and the life of other countries' fleets was quite monotonous.

The officers and men of the fleets of other countries were more rude, they liked to drink and prostitute *, and fight and brawl, while the officers and men of the Southeast Fleet were more restrained, but their fighting level was better than that of the officers and men of the fleets of other countries.

……

In a short time, the formation arrived at the entrance of a large river in the Taipei area, and looked out from the binoculars, but saw the beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful natural scenery, but no one dared to take it lightly.

The big ships were anchored at sea, dozens of small boats were lowered, and the marines were all carrying full backpacks, muskets strapped to their knapsacks, and shields on their backs, climbing the mesh rope ladder next to the ship to get off the ship and board the boats.

They rowed vigorously and headed for the riverbank.

The sea surface is not choppy,

The first boat hit the bottom, and the soldiers dismounted, muskets, and slowly landed on land.

Sou!

A feathered arrow fell at the feet of the sailor who landed first!
