In the 26th year of the Ming Dynasty, on April 19, near the Indian Ocean in the Bay of Bengal.

The battleship group of the European Combined Fleet, black and oppressive, and terrifying, frightened the Qing fishermen who were fishing in the nearby waters, so that these fishermen were still far away, and they fled in fear just by seeing this terrifying warship group.

Since the Mughal Empire was conquered by the Manchus, the original Mughal people have also become the people of the Great Qing Dynasty.

On one of the ships, the Supreme Commander of the Combined Fleet, Duke Peter Burston of England, and the Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See, Archbishop Spabot, were on the same ship.

"Ahead is the waters of the Bay of Bengal, after the waters of the Bay of Bengal, the fleet can sail into the Strait of Malacca and really enter the Daming Sea!" Duke Peter Burston said to Archbishop Spabot.

Speaking of the words of the Strait of Malacca, Duke Peter Bosston was quite impressed, he heard that the eight-nation combined fleet led by the Duke of Havelan was defeated by the Ming fleet in the Strait of Malacca, and the entire fleet of 641 warships was almost wiped out, and it was also the first time in the history of Obaro that there were such heavy losses in a sea battle.

A disgrace not only to the Duke of Havelan, but to the whole of Obaro.

As England's best naval commander at the moment, the Duke of Peter Verston was confident that he would be better than the loser of Havelan, and that he would not fail as badly as Havelan no matter what.

Duke Peter Burston's eyes were extremely determined, and he had already sworn in his heart.

"Hehe, it's finally here!" Archbishop Spaport smiled as well, a little sharpness flashing in his eyes.

The combined fleet sailed for more than half a year, and he also waited for more than half a year, and finally arrived.

"God forbid, after annihilating the Ming fleet, we will also come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty and completely impress the Ming Dynasty!" Archbishop Spaport said, also explaining the combat procedures of the Combined Fleet in one sentence.

The European Combined Fleet set out for the Ming Dynasty this time, in addition to defeating and annihilating the Ming fleet, but also completely subduing the Ming Dynasty.

As for how to be convinced, this is very simple, they have already known from the map that the capital of the Ming Dynasty is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the largest river in the Ming Dynasty, and the warships of the combined fleet can enter from this river after the total annihilation of the Ming fleet, bombard the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and threaten the emperor of the Ming Dynasty by force!

The monarchs of Europe undoubtedly thought very well.

"Hehe, the evil Ming Empire, my Archbishop of Spabot is here, are you ready to welcome the glory of God!" Standing on the deck, facing the sea breeze, Archbishop Spabbot's hair fluttered, and he shouted arrogantly in the direction of the Strait of Malacca.

Following such a large group of 1,221 warships as the Combined Fleet, Archbishop Sparter was undoubtedly full of confidence in victory.

Not only did Archbishop Spaport not think that the Combined Fleet could be defeated, but even the soldiers of the other Combined Fleets would not think that their fleet had the possibility of defeat, and the only one who could be defeated was the Ming Dynasty!

Finally, the combined European fleet sailed into the Bay of Bengal.

The Bay of Bengal is not a small sea, and if it wants to sail into the Strait of Malacca, the warship group of the European Combined Fleet will have to sail for at least two days.

However, what the UEFA didn't know was that not long after they sailed into the Bay of Bengal, a seemingly uninhabited island to the southeast of them sent a radio signal in the direction of Daming.

At the western exit of the Strait of Malacca, the westernmost seaport of Sumatra, the Ming fleet composed of 96 ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty is ready to go in the port.

"Didi——- Dididi——————"

With a five-thousand-ton battleship attached to the flagship of the East China Sea Fleet, a wireless telegram was printed.

"Report! Half an hour ago, the combined European fleet sailed into the Bay of Bengal Strait! ”

Shen Jingchao's eyes widened slightly, and he took the wireless telegraph and glanced at it.

"Good! Order all the warships of the fleet to leave the port and meet the combined European fleet! Shen Jing ordered loudly.

"Yes! Marshal! The operator immediately retreated to deliver the order.

This time, all the 96 ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty were dispatched, gathering all the ironclad ships of the two fleets of the East China Sea and the South China Sea. With the continuous deepening of the reform of the Ming system, such a mixed fleet naturally needs a supreme commander to issue unified orders. And this supreme commander was served by Shen Jingchao, the commander of the Daming East China Sea Fleet.

Originally, Shen Jingchao and Zheng Sen were at the same level, and they were equally meritorious, such a position should be competed between the two of them, Zhu Cijiao, the emperor, made the final decision, but Zheng Sen took the initiative to withdraw from the competition and gave up this position to Shen Jingchao, and Zhu Cichao also objected, so Shen Jingchao was the supreme commander of the Ming mixed fleet this time.

Although such an opportunity is rare, after all, Da Ming doesn't know how long it will take for a joint operation to gather all the ironclad ships of the two fleets, but it is not difficult to see Zheng Sen's thoughts, Shen Jingchao is already over sixty years old, maybe in a few years, Shen Jingchao will retire from old age, and Zheng Sen is fifteen years younger than Shen Jingchao, Zheng Sen has fifteen more opportunities than Shen Jingchao, he doesn't want Shen Jingchao to retire with a legacy.

Radio orders were sent to ninety-six ironclad warships, and each ship was urgently prepared for battle.

"On the march to meet the combined European fleet!"

As the ironclad ships left the harbor and sailed into the depths of the Bay of Bengal and took the initiative to meet the attack in the direction of the European Combined Fleet, the clouds of a super sea battle gathered over the Bay of Bengal.

On the sea surface of the Bay of Bengal, 96 Daming steel warships exude a gray glow under the sunlight. Although in terms of quantity, the Daming ironclad ships are not even a fraction of the huge warship group of the European Combined Fleet, but in terms of momentum, the fleet composed of ninety-six Daming ironclad ships is not inferior.

Perhaps the naval soldiers of the European United Fleet who own 1,221 warships have high morale and firmly believe that they will be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming naval soldiers on the 96 Ming ironclad ships are also highly motivated, and they also do not take the so-called huge warship group of the European United Fleet in their eyes at all, and firmly believe that they will be able to defeat the invading European United Fleet, because they are the Ming ironclad ships under their feet, which are a kind of cross-era steel warships, and they represent the advent of a new maritime era.

After more than half a day of sailing, the huge battleship group of the European Combined Fleet and the 96 ironclad ships of the Ming Fleet finally met in the central part of the Bay of Bengal.

This is a collision of a huge group of wooden battleships and a new-age steel battleship, and this is a super sea battle that is bound to go down in history.
