The fact that the Qiongzhou Navy under the command of Fan Jinyan did not participate in the war made the missions of the two countries very annoyed, especially the Dutch mission, and everyone felt as if there were dark clouds above their heads, and there was no interest in anything.

It's true, the Netherlands gave up one of its own reunions in order to form an alliance, but now that Mao is also fishing, can he be happy?

Whether it is Clive or Jill, they are eager to bring the warship to teach this blind boy a good lesson, but they are worried that the other party will take advantage of the fisherman and take the opportunity to attack him.

Therefore, the two of them have reached a rare tacit understanding, ready to go back, after defeating each other first, and then come to kill this little bastard who is not open-eyed.

However, when they are done, do they still have the strength to fight with Fan Jinyan?

Before leaving, Fan Jinyan, as the host, warmly held an apologetic banquet in the Hou Mansion, which could be regarded as wishing them victory in the next war. Of course, Fan Jinyan will not say this in public, but will talk about people when he sees people, and talk nonsense when he sees ghosts.

During the banquet, Jill and Clive were obviously not in high spirits, but at this time they could only force a smile and maintain the last bit of gentlemanly demeanor.

Fan Jinyan saw that the two of them were drinking sullen wine in the middle of their own team, the corners of their mouths rose slightly, revealing a hint of cunning, and raised his voice and said: "Your Excellency Jill, Your Excellency Claire, please drink with your heart, wait a minute, Benhou will bring you a good thing, I believe you will both like it." ”

Stuff?

Is it a woman?

The two were clearly mistaken.

Fan Jinyan didn't say anything more, but raised his palm and slapped it twice.

Soon, a soldier walked in with a tray covered in a red cloth, placed the tray on the table, and then bent down and retreated.

What's in the tray?

It looks a bit like coral.

Could it be that Fan Jinyan is going to use coral to express his apologies?

The dignified marquis of a country is too picky!

Although the coral is precious, this coral seems to be a little smaller. Moreover, there is only one, how can two people be divided?

Split??

Fan Jinyan didn't sell it anymore, but reached out to uncover the red cloth on the tray.

Suddenly, a miniature version of a beautiful model of a sail battleship appeared in front of everyone.

The two of them, who were already furious, suddenly lit up, hurriedly put down the wine glass in their hands, leaned in front of the table, and stared closely at the battleship in front of them, which they had never seen before.

Both of them are people who have dealt with sea ships all their lives, and they can see at a glance that this kind of battleship is definitely more advanced than the warships of their own country, and it is many times more powerful.

Clive was the first to come back to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency Marquis, what kind of battleship is this, and how is it different from our Galen type and the square ships in the East?" ”

"Huh." Fan Jinyan shook his head, pointed to the model and said: "This is the latest new warship developed in Qiongzhou, Ben Hou calls this kind of battleship the main battleship of cutting waves, if the two of you are interested, you can participate in the trial sea together tomorrow." How is it? ”

"Of course." "It's my pleasure," Jill said. ”

Because of the Dutch's long-term monopoly on maritime supremacy, the British have been working new warships, hoping to make up for the backwardness of warships and combat the arrogance of the Dutch.

Clive is more frightened, the Netherlands has always relied on the advanced warships, and the number is large, monopolizing the maritime hegemony for decades, and now Qiongzhou has a new and more advanced warship, if it can be produced in large quantities, the Dutch advantage will soon disappear, and the Netherlands' maritime supremacy will be completely finished.

Therefore, he also hopes to really see how powerful the so-called main battleship of Wave Cutting is, "Of course, I can't be missing." ”

Early the next morning, a team of several carriages traveled all the way from the old city of Nanzhou to the shipyard more than ten miles away.

Before he could reach the shipyard, he saw a huge warship docked at the pier of the bay without its sails.

Claire and Jill were completely stunned, from the model, they felt that this kind of battleship would be a giant, but when they saw the real thing again, they were still shocked, the most advanced Dutch battleship stood side by side with it, it was the difference between adults and children, and there was no comparison at all.

After getting out of the car, Fan Jinyan stood on the shore, proudly looking at the sail warship that looked like a high-rise building not far away, and said proudly to the two: "What do you two think?" ”

However, the two people who were already shocked and speechless had already told him the answer.

Without saying any nonsense, Fan Jinyan led the two of them and a group of members of the official mission to board the battleship.

Because the hull was too large, the draft was too deep, the water in the harbor was shallow, and there was no wind to propel it, so the sail battleship could only rely on the towing of the battleship outside the harbor to be slowly dragged into the sea.

The sail battleship was slowly pulled into the vast sea by the battleship outside the harbor, and then the sailing soldiers involved in the trial sailed all the sails as soon as the battleship entered the sea, and then adjusted the direction and speed of the warship with the wind on the sea.

When they first left the port, the speed of the sail warships was very slow, but as soon as they reached the sea, they quickly overtook the naval warships and left them far behind.

It's unimaginable.

Fan Jinyan said to the two again: "Two, how do you feel?" ”

The speed of the battleship is high, and although it can have a lot of advantages in war, it is not absolute.

Jill and Clough had already noticed the neat four layers of windows when they got aboard, and they had been wondering if it was the window for artillery firing.

"It's faster than you think, but I don't know how much firepower it is?" Jill asked first.

Fan Jinyan had long been familiar with the data of this sail battleship, and when he heard him ask, he opened his mouth and said: "The main battleship of Cutting Waves has four floors of running positions, and each floor has twenty-five firing windows, that is, there are one hundred cannons on each side. Not only that, but there were also sixteen firing windows in front of it, which could be equipped with sixteen cannons to compensate for the inability to attack from the front. ”

Two hundred and sixteen cannons?

It's still the kind that can shoot head-on.

The speed is twice that of a normal battleship.

Isn't that a fast capital warship armed to the teeth, and this one battleship, against the ten most advanced warships of the Netherlands, may not be left behind. As long as there is an experienced commander, it is completely possible to fight twenty ships in one ship, and maybe even get out of the way.

Clive only felt a cool breeze rushing to his head in the back of his neck, if there were thirty such warships in Qiongzhou, the Netherlands would no longer have a foothold in the Far East.

Thinking of this, Clive hurriedly asked, "I wonder how many such warships the Marquis has?" How long will it take to build such a ship, and how much silver will it cost? ”

It was clear that he was inquiring about Qiongzhou's manufacturing capacity to judge how threatening Fan Jinyan was, and how much time the Netherlands would have to deal with the crisis. (To be continued.) )
