However, the Haitian, which had previously behaved extremely bravely, chose to avoid it at this time, because the speed of the ship exceeded that of the Fuji by a large margin, and even if the latter had full strength, it could not close the distance to the extent that it could be hit or struck by lightning

The second ship of Zhijing finally followed, but Deng Shichang asked the flag soldiers to pass the order and ask them to be responsible for protecting the periphery and not to participate in the battle for the time being.

"Understood, not a single Japanese ship can let it run away!" , Zhiyuan's new pipe belt Lin Luzhong showed a smile on his face, he understood Deng Shichang's intention as soon as he thought about it, this is to prevent the enemy from escaping!

Soon the Guang Bing also followed, with these three faster warships controlling the periphery, even if the remaining two Japanese ships escaped separately, Deng Shichang did not have to worry.

"The Chinese don't want to leave us with any way to live!" , Vice Admiral Inoue Yoshishin couldn't help but let out such a lament, he had known that this would be the case, he had given the order to flee early in the morning, anyway, the main gun of the Fuji was also a diamond-shaped layout, even if it turned its back to the enemy, the firepower would not be weakened much

Looking at the desperate situation on the battlefield, Philistine, commander of the British Far East Fleet, suddenly figured out an important reason for this situation, "Actually, it was the Captain Pratt who killed the Japanese!" Let them always feel that they still have hope of victory and hold on, otherwise they will definitely choose to disperse and retreat after losing at most a third of the warships, and then at least half of them will escape."

"Or are the protective cruisers too incompetent, and if the Japanese side is all armored cruisers, how can they fight like this?" , but the Frenchman Frank still thinks that the factor of weapons is greater.

The American Adu hit the nail on the head and pointed out the helplessness of the Japanese, "The price of the patrol is much more expensive than the patrol guard, and the money to buy two patrol guards may not be able to buy a patrol with the same firepower, not to mention that the old-fashioned patrol is not usable, and there are few new patrol ships in the world, even if the Japanese have money, they can't buy it!" ”

"In this way, the Chinese are really lucky, someone is willing to lease such an excellent armored cruiser to them", Sergei, a Russian officer of the Tsarist army who has not spoken much today, could not help but speak, but his words were mixed with a sour taste, how could such a good thing not come to the turn of the great Russian Empire?

"It's not luck, it's a conspiracy!" , Phimantle, commander of the British Far East Fleet, suddenly roared as if he had a nervous breakdown.

Fermante has now basically overturned the original speculation, "although it does look similar, but the French can't make such a powerful warship, even if they really build it, they have no reason not to use it, but to provide it to the Chinese first"

France can't do it, and other countries don't have the ability, so the mysterious "venture capital firm" is very disturbing

"A 10,000-ton giant ship is not something that can be built casually, and no one knows about being able to build such a powerful warship, which is even more incredible, how can a company have such a strong strength? Could it be that some country secretly formed an alliance against the British Empire? In this case, it can be explained, but if this is the case, then what should be done? The more Phelimante thought about it, the more headaches he felt, the more and more problems in his heart, and he even began to scare himself when he thought about it

However, even if the truth has not yet been revealed, in the instinct of a-stirring stick, Philmante immediately sees venture capital firms as a potentially huge threat.

In Philmant's view, no matter what the origin of the venture capital company is and what purpose it is based on to intervene in the Sino-Japanese war, it will inevitably bring great variables to the future world situation, and for the British Empire, which is already the world hegemon, the most feared is variables!

With such a thought, after hearing Sergei's words, Philimant's heart suddenly moved, and he had an idea that he thought was brilliant

After a loud shout attracted everyone's attention, Philistine held his head high and said with a righteous face, "A mysterious company of unknown origin has mastered the world's most advanced shipbuilding technology, which is enough to pose a threat to the entire civilized world, and we, the powers that lead the world, should unite to put pressure on it and force it to disclose its technical information."

Philmante had hoped to test the different reactions of everyone present and to speculate on which countries were behind the trouble, but to his surprise, almost everyone present echoed his words, and no one jumped out to oppose him

At this time, Filimante couldn't help but shake a little, "Did I guess wrong?" What is the origin of that venture capital firm? Or are these officers present not of enough rank to have access to the secrets of the upper echelons? ”

"Forget it, I don't have the right to decide anyway, and it's my responsibility to report this matter to the country," Philmante sighed helplessly, while most of the officers from other countries made the same decision.

Since venture capital firms have so far shown almost all East Asian appearances, and their obvious tendencies in this war are also suspicious, it is not that no one has suspected that this company is simply Chinese.

But at this time, Westerners were at a time when racial superiority was bursting, and they simply looked down on the Chinese, and naturally they would not believe that the Chinese could master such high-end technology.

What's more, there is still a question that cannot be explained for such an assumption, it is impossible to study the shipbuilding technology that is ahead of the world in a short period of time, and there should have been results before, so why haven't the great powers seen it in the previous invasions of China?

However, once the seeds of doubt are generated, it is not so easy to disappear, when Li Hui rebelled, the Western powers will sooner or later link the two things together, and the latter question has a direct answer, even if Li Hui escapes for a while, after all, there will still be people who suspect him

Even to a certain extent, the better the performance of the Haitian, the more jealous the Western powers became, and these jealousies will also be transferred to Li Hui's head in the future

Li Hui himself understands this very well. Li Hui was full of joy after seeing the good news on the message board just now, but as the results continued to expand, he began to regret that he had designed the Haitian to be too powerful, "Don't be so arrogant!" The Great Powers are not fools! ”
