Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dragon Appears
The last force of the Beiyang Naval Division, the Weihai Fleet based in Weihaiwei, is fully dispatched!
The mighty steel warships formed a formation, and together with the attached wooden sail warships on both sides and the small warships with strong maneuverability, they headed towards the fleet of the Japanese Kingdom......
And Zhao Wushuang was lurking at the bottom of the deep sea, covering the sea with a huge divine sense, sensing the contrast of strength and the course of the two fleets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Alas, it seems that the Beiyang Naval Division is really about to be wiped out. This little bit of the Weihai Fleet is probably their last old bottom. If I hadn't been here, I would have finished fighting with the little devils. ā
He thought about it silently, and he also felt a little emotional.
In Zao Wou-shuang's original era. The Westernization Movement was the last chance for Shenzhou to become rich and powerful in the late Qing Dynasty. It's a pity that under all kinds of difficulties and checks and balances of the Manchu court, it finally didn't succeed......
Rough turquoise sea.
The Weihai Fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division and the First Fleet of the Japanese Navy were able to see each other.
A fierce war is on the verge of breaking out!
Or...... It can't be said to be intense, and it is estimated that it is likely to be one-sided.
Zhao Quan, dressed in a sailor uniform, stood on the flagship of the Weihai Fleet, the "Shenzhou", and looked at the approaching Japanese fleet with a monocular.
There was not a single person behind him, not even his confidants and subordinates, who were far away from him -- since what happened on the Yellow Sea Fleet was exposed, almost the entire generals of the Beiyang Naval Division were panicked, suspicious and suspicious of each other. I am worried that there will be spies from the "Rising Sun Project" of the Japanese Kingdom to mix up with me......
"Today's war, it's just a matter of sacrificing one's life for the country!"
Zhao Quan once again strengthened his belief. Even if the whole army is wiped out, these Japanese devils will lose a piece of meat!
"Well, the two fleets are about to come into effective range of each other, and it's time for the deity to come out! The Beiyang Naval Division is the power of the Han Westernists, so keep it as much as possible. At that time, Huarong will work with Zeng Guofan to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there will be more help. ā
Zhao Wushuang moved!
The huge silver dragon body headed towards the surface from the deep bottom of the sea......
At the same time, the vanguard ship of the First Fleet of the Japanese State.
These little devils still use the "awl-type" offensive line, so most of the most well-equipped and firepower battleships are in the front position.
This is also because the self-confidence of the Japanese people burst after easily defeating the Yellow River Fleet, the most powerful fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division, and the Lushun Fleet, which has the largest number of ships.
The weakest Weihai fleet, that's not a matter of being able to catch it?
Great Dragon Pill.
It was a large steam-ironclad ship of the Japanese Kingdom, almost comparable in tonnage and firepower to the British second-class battleships.
Captain Yoshizawa Muramasa once said: A swarthy cannon on the Great Dragon Pill is enough to tear everything in front of him to shreds. Even if some gods and goddesses in ancient Chinese legends come, they must succumb to the power of modern technology!
Now, the captain was triumphantly on the upper deck of the battleship, holding on to the railing with both hands, staring at the Weihai Fleet ships on the sea in front of him with a falcon-like gaze.
"Hmm...... Ono-kun, do you feel the fear of the Chinese on the other side? Haha, that's the breath of the weak. ā
Heizaburo Ono, is his lieutenant. Standing next to him at this point.
He graduated from the Maritime National Defense College and has always been cautious. Even if the Wa Kingdom almost had an absolute advantage at this time, he still couldn't see a happy expression on his face.
"Captain, I don't know why...... I always had a feeling of uneasiness in my heart. It seems that there is something about the Chinese that we do not know. ā
"Oh?"
Yoshizawa Village was a little surprised. But soon he smiled again, turned around and patted him on the shoulder: "You, just too cautious!" When we were still classmates at the National Defense Academy, you were cautious. After winning the battle for so long, it's still like this. Don't worry, Chinese, just a herd of yellow-skinned pigs waiting to be slaughtered. What are you worried about? Look, right away, the cannon fire of the Great Dragon Pill will tear them all to pieces! ā
His eyes showed fanatical confidence and anticipation......
Suddenly, Ono Heizaburo's pupils suddenly constricted, and his whole body stiffened. Staring at the sea in front of him, he seemed to see some terrifying sight.
"What's wrong, Ono-kun? Do you really see the gods of the Chinese? Ha ha! That's okay, the firepower of the Great Dragon Pill can bombard those bull ghosts, snakes, and gods into slag! ā
Yoshizawamura stroked his hands and laughed, confident in his battleship.
"So, what is that...... Just ahead of the sea! ā
Ono Heizaburo's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and his whole body was trembling. Pointing ahead: "That...... Is that a dragon? Dragons in Chinese mythology and legends! ā
"What? Dragon! What's the situation? ā
Yoshizawamura turned his head in horror and looked in the direction of Heizaburo Ono's finger, and then he saw a picture that frightened him!
A silver dragon with a body length of nearly 100 meters is rising from the vast blue sea!
The scales that shimmered with silver light looked incomparably dazzling and brilliant under the sun's rays. The single horn on his head is like the sharpest weapon in the world, and no matter how thick the steel plate is, it can be pierced.
And that pair of cold and indifferent, with mocking and contemptuous eyes, let them know that this is definitely an existence with extraordinary wisdom. Not the kind of savage beast......
And in their current level of scientific research and understanding, there is no such huge existence, which is comparable to the existence of a small and medium-sized warship!
There is only one explanation......
It's really a god in Chinese myths and legends!
"Yaga! This, this can't be? ā
Yoshizawa Mura staggered back a few steps, and was so surprised that the telescope in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
At the same time, almost all the vanguard warships of the First Fleet of the Japanese Kingdom saw a huge silver dragon soaring out of the azure sea, showing its teeth and claws, and its divine power vibrating!
These little devils were stunned......
As for the Weihai Fleet, I'm afraid it's even more shocked than the Japanese people!
Because the distance that Zhao Wushuang flew out of the sea was closer to their fleet, and it seemed to give them confidence, Zhao Wushuang also deliberately circled around the flagship of the Weihai fleet, the "Shenzhou", and only then did he stabilize his figure in the air. The exchange exuded infinite divine might, and a pair of blood-red dragon eyes with gold in them glared angrily ahead.
Zhao Quan, who was standing on the flagship deck of the "Shenzhou", was already ready to die. The moment he saw this huge silver dragon flying out of the sea, he felt a voice ring in his head at the same time......
"O my Chinese people! I am the dragon god, the Chinese totem. You are all of my race, and you deserve refuge! ā
Since Zhao Quan was a young man, he has been educated in a new-style school. Although he is Chinese, in his view of many things, it is actually the advanced scientific thinking of the West. I don't believe in any gods, I think it's feudal superstition.
So in fact, he has always been very puzzled about the "dragon god" of the Chinese Divine Kingdom of the same origin and culture as the native of Shenzhou.
Because reason told him that there could be no gods in this world.
However, how to explain the existence of the Chinese Divine Kingdom?
Can a ruling class that relies solely on religion to deceive the people and ignore the people destroy the former India and turn the "Indian Peninsula" into the "Chinese Peninsula"?
If we only rely on religion and imaginary feudal superstition "immortals" to brainwash, can we repeatedly defeat the British Empire, which is known as the "world's first power", and force the other side to sign the "Armistice Agreement" and pay reparations?
So Zhao Quan couldn't figure it out all the time.
And now, when the real "dragon god" flew up from the sea, appeared clearly in front of his eyes, and even used his magical power to speak directly in his head.
He finally understood!
It turns out that the "dragon god" of the Chinese Divine Kingdom is not a feudal superstition, but a real ...... Powerful gods!
At this moment, not only Zhao Quan, but almost all the sailor soldiers on the entire Weihai fleet. The words that Zhao Wushuang said sounded in his mind.
His current strength and divine soul are already huge enough to transmit the divine consciousness of an entire naval fleet!
"Dragon God! Oh my God, there really are immortals. ā
"Shenlong! It's our Chinese dragon......"
"Oh my God! Am I dreaming? I've seen the dragon. ā
The soldiers of the Weihai Fleet were all in a collective shock at this moment. There were even some people who had believed in a little bit of gods and Buddhas on weekdays, and they knelt down on the deck in front of Zhao Wushuang, who was flying in the sky, and bowed their heads......
The power of the white incense flame instantly submerged into Zhao Wushuang's huge dragon body.
Of course, now with his strength, this weak power of incense hardly feels even the slightest.
As for the Japanese fleet, after staring blankly for a while, they finally reacted!
"Fire! Shoot at that damn silver serpent! This is an evil demon made by the Chinese, and it will also be reduced to ashes under the fierce firepower of our Great Sun Empire's fierce warships! ā
Yoshizawa Mura was screaming hysterically, and the herald commanded all the steel heavy cannons on all the Great Dragon Pills to bombard the silver one-horned dragon.
Not only the Great Dragon Pill, but all the nearby warships of the Wa Kingdom fired all their cannons in unison, and countless scorching cannonballs dragged terrifying tongues of fire towards Zhao Wushuang!
"Humph! The fleet of little devils actually dares to show off their power in front of the deity? A year or two ago, I could easily annihilate the fleet of the British. What's more, now that my strength has improved, you are more than a step worse than the British. ā
Zhao Wushuang sneered in his heart, raised his head and let out an earth-shattering loud dragon groan!
Roar Roar Roar !!
The water beneath his feet tumbled as if it had been stirred by an invisible giant.
Bang la, bla blah!
Hundreds of meters high, the "wall of water" rises into the sky, and almost at the same time as it rises, the part above the sea surface becomes an extremely solid white ice wall!
There were three roads, and they were in front of Zhao Wushuang and the Weihai fleet.
Bang bang bang......
Shells bombarded the white ice wall, and shattered ice chips flew sideways.
The shells of the warships were only able to shatter the first layer of ice wall, and then they lost power. Compared with the firepower of the British fleet, there is actually still a gap.
"This ...... Is this the power of immortals? Turning over rivers and seas, omnipotent. ā
"Oh my God! It's really invincible. didn't even move, and completely blocked the collective naval cannon salvo of the fleet with such powerful firepower! ā
The sailors and soldiers of the Weihai fleet were dumbfounded and shocked beyond measure.
Yoshizawa Muramasa trembled, and a hint of fear finally appeared in his fanatical eyes......
Zhao Wushuang sneered in his heart.
The powerful divine consciousness transmission sounded directly in the minds of those Japanese people who were already terrified.
"Little devils of the Wa Kingdom, next, please be prepared to withstand the wrath of the Huaxia Totem and the Dragon God!"
He turned into a silver streamer and rushed towards the nearest Great Dragon Pill battleship! (To be continued.) )
