When Liu Jun set off, he guessed that when the French minister arrived, he would inevitably pay attention to the fleet led by Lin Taizeng, after all, the fleet led by Lin Taizeng was the closest to the strength of the French Far East Fleet in Vietnam.

At that time, when he went to sea, Liu Jun thought that France's attention must be Lin Taizeng, and now looking at his performance, it is indeed so.

Showing a slight imperceptible smile, Liu Jun nodded at Zhong Lin, Zhong Lin understood, turned around, and began to walk towards the command cabin.

Eleven fifteen. The originally calm sea suddenly blew a gust of sea breeze, and the sea breeze made the Yellow Dragon Flag flutter.

The speed of the Guang C has now reached 14 connections. From the current point of view, you can just see the scene when the two sides open fire for a while.

Rumble...... There was a loud bang. When the two fleets were only 49 yards apart, the 320-mm main gun on Li He's flagship Hashidate was the first to fire.

It's a few seconds late. The four 305-mm guns of Lin Taizeng's flagship, the Zhenyuan, opened fire almost simultaneously.

Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom Boom ......

On the surface of the boy's sea, smoke billowed and cannonballs flew wildly. From time to time, shells that fell into the water exploded columns of water tens of meters high.

Wonderful. It was the first time Liu Jun saw the two warships of Zhenyuan and Dingyuan after the refit fire.

In the first round of salvo fire, Liu Jun saw that as soon as the four main guns of the Dingyuan were fired, the rapid-fire guns on the side of the ship were smashed towards the Zhenyuan. The white smoke that erupted from the muzzle of the cannon immediately defended the Dingyuan.

Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom boom.

The speed of the rapid-fire cannon was so far and fast, and before Liu Jun had been given much time, the rapid-fire cannon on the Dingyuan roared again.

Lin Taizeng and Li He are worthy of being senior officers of the Beiyang Naval Division, and Liu Jun can see that the shells on both sides are now concentrated on their respective flagships.

Boom, a huge flash of fire appeared on the deck of the Hashidate, followed by a cloud of black smoke.

, This time in less than three salvos, the Hashidate was hit by such a shot, and Liu Jun kept feeling sorry for Li He in his heart.

Boom...... Two loud bangs, where the explosion came from far from the town, it seems that the gunners on both sides are still working very hard, at least now the flagships of both sides have been hit by a few shots.

The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke rushed into the nose with the sea breeze. From time to time, there was a violent coughing sound on the Guang C.

Rumble. There was an earth-shattering bang. Stunned by the people who were coughing, the envoys of the Guang C, and even the Klint beside Liu Jun opened their eyes wide, looking at the firelight in the distance.

After a while, everyone reacted from their surprise and began to pick up the binoculars in their hands and look into the distance.

In the distance, that is, in the fleet led by Li He, the gunboat Guangyuan was slowly sinking, not to mention, on the warship that had not yet completely sunk, many people were jumping into the sea, and then with the help of the surrounding torpedo boats, they turned over and got onto the torpedo boats.

This one? Clint gasped twice, and then looked at Liu Jun, who was watching the sinking warship in the distance, with a pale face.

After a while, Clint grew his mouth and poked Liu Jun: "Liu ...... This is? ”

Turning his head, he glanced at Clinder, and after looking at the ministers of various countries who had approached the surroundings, Liu Jun smiled slightly and raised his voice: "It's nothing, they just fired live ammunition." ”

Ah exclaimed, the surrounding Run's face suddenly turned pale, and even a few people were already trembling obviously.

Live ammunition, these two fleets actually shot not training bullets, but live ammunition, which is terrible, crazy.

There are two kinds of artillery shells in the navy, one is training ammunition and the other is live ammunition, training ammunition is used for naval exercises and training of various countries, and live ammunition is used when facing the enemy on the battlefield.

In this society, no country has dared to use live ammunition in the exercise, after all, this is not a joke, and in the event of an accident, it is not a warship and dozens of people that will be lost.

"Exercise is actual combat," looking at these pale ministers of various countries, Liu Jun showed a look of contempt, and then lightly said the most popular words of military exercises in later generations, and the exercise was actual combat.

None of these ministers are soldiers, they are all moth-level people of various countries and people with quite good brains, and these people are here to see the exercise, not to die. Look at the deafening sound of artillery and occasional explosions in the distance. Liu Jun took a look, and several people swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva while their eyes widened.

With a bang, a rapid-fire cannon shell exploded less than 30 meters away from the Guang C, and the sea water splashed by the explosion splashed onto the deck of the Guang C.

"Liu, I think it's better for us to stay away from this place." Clinder was originally a soldier, but since becoming a minister, the comfortable and comfortable life has worn out the blood of his soldiers, and now he has been defeated by corrupt money.

Although his face was still calm, Klinder's trembling tone betrayed him all of a sudden, and before Liu Jun could speak, he saw the French minister and the Russian minister nodding as well.

Nodding embarrassedly, Liu Jun agreed, but when he began to cheer, Liu Jun and Zhong Lin in the distance showed a smile knowingly.

The Guang C sailed into the distance again, and only then did it stop when it left the ten nautical miles in one breath, and began to observe the naval battle that was no longer so clear.

Maybe it was because the live-fire exercise in Liu Jun's mouth was too powerful, and the ministers of various countries found different reasons and returned to their respective rooms in an orderly manner, in their opinion, even if the Guang Bing left the battlefield, who could guarantee that there would be no shells here.

On the deck, only Zhong Lin and Liu Jun were left.

Seeing that there were only two people left on the deck that was full of people just now, Liu Jun smiled slightly, and then asked lightly, "All the people of the Guangyuan have been evacuated safely, right?" ”

"Don't worry. Long before the explosion of the Guangyuan, only the piloting engineer personnel were left inside, and the others had already been transferred to the Hashidate.

Well, after Liu Jun nodded slightly, he listened to the deafening explosion in the distance again, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile that had succeeded in his plan.

To be precise, the Guangyuan was not hit by a shell and sunk, but by the explosives that were planted.

All of this is a strategy set by Liu Jun and Li Hanzhang.

On the night of the exercise, Liu Jun and Li Hanzhang made a plan in order to send a message to the ministers of various countries or the French ministers, that is, we are not afraid of death.

Liu Jun and Li Hanzhang's plan was that during the exercise, each ship would shoot training shells, after all, if it was really live ammunition, let alone the expensive shells, even if there were enough shells, Liu Jun would not dare, after all, they were warships. If you are injured, no one can afford to be responsible. Therefore, Liu Jun decided to select a relatively old warship among the Guangdong naval divisions, plant explosives on it, and then detonate it during the exercise, blow up and sink the warship, and let the ministers of various countries see it.

Originally, Li Hanzhang was worried that he would show his feet this time, but Liu Junque persuaded Li Hanzhang. After all, during the exercise, the artillery shells of the two sides came and went, and with the Guang C being far away, no one would pay attention to a small Guangyuan gunboat.

So, when it explodes, it creates the illusion that the gunboat was sunk by shells.

Now seeing the reactions of the ministers of various countries, Liu Jun knows that his plan has succeeded.

Of course, now it's only half of the success, and the remaining half, that is, Li He and Lin Taizeng have come to complete, and they are only supporting roles.

On the warship Qiaoli, Li He looked at Guang Bing, who had already gone away, showed a smile, and looked at the first mate beside him: "The marshal has left, and the rest is up to us." ”

The first mate nodded: "Commander, don't worry, I will definitely make the Hashitaka rotten and not rotten." After the first mate finished speaking, he turned around and walked under the bridge.

Li He's task is to disguise the warship Hashidate, and even other warships, as if they were damaged by shells, and then swagger back to the Huangpu Military Port to enter the maintenance, of course, the maintenance or something, it is all fake, the real reason is to avoid the eyes of foreigners, and when the time comes, after the ministers of various countries leave, the Hashidate and other naval ships will reappear on the surface of the sea unscathed, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
