"Hurry, hurry! Move fast! ”

"Cannonballs! The cannonballs are here! ”

"Don't rub around! What's that bastard doing over there? ”

Thundered! Bang!

Although he was inside the Brooklyn, Li Dongzheng could still feel the tragedy of the battle, especially when he could see it...... Well, Li Dongzheng is a gunner, he can see the situation outside through the scope.

Although it's called a scope, it's actually quite complicated, anyway, the scene outside definitely doesn't come in a straight line, and there are a lot of ruler scales on it, and it takes a series of calculations to determine the final angle......

"Two degrees!"

"Done!"

"Fire!"

Bang!

Li Dongzheng clearly saw a large burst of fire on the opponent's battleship.

"Hit!"

"Haha......"

"Don't fucking celebrate! One more shot! ”

“YES-SIR！”

The main turret of the Brooklyn is a triple 380 mm caliber gun, not to mention the great power, the most important thing is that the rate of fire is very fast, when it is in full operation, it can be two guns in 1 minute, and three guns, but the angle can be adjusted separately, that is to say, it can attack three targets at the same time.

And this artillery system is very complicated, and the entire transportation of shells, including the warhead and the gunpowder at the back, is mostly done by machinery, but there are also people working on it. Within this artillery system, you will find yourself small, a small laughing child. And this machine is too huge!

Li Dongzheng is very clear. This is actually the advancement of technology. Maybe this progress is relatively small, from 50 seconds to 30 seconds, it doesn't seem to be anything, but in fact, in the whole mechanical manufacturing, design, construction, is a significant improvement.

And it is said that this. It's still the people in District 11 who have made a lot of contributions, and I heard that those guys have figured out some details to the extreme, and many people are researching, manufacturing, and polishing there without sleep, and the process is a bit unbearable.

As for this?

But the artisans of District 11 say it's to serve the great Clint. Your Majesty Li I!

"Father's prestige is like a god, even the people of District 11 have been inspired!" Li Dongzheng couldn't help but think like this.

But in fact, he is also very clear. His father didn't take District 11 seriously at all......

Now, can't think about it!

"Hold on to the railing! It's about to turn the rudder! ”

"Check your seatbelts!"

This turret system is too complicated. A few of them work at a height that looks like the third floor, so when the battleship turns the rudder, it's not easy, and if you don't get it, it will fall off!

"Comrades! Keep up the good work! ”

"Comrades! Victory is ours! ”

In order to improve morale, there are also propaganda soldiers cheering everyone up!

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

Li Dongzheng couldn't help but shout, of course, he was also surnamed Li......

"How is this possible? How can it be?! ”

Jericho, who was on the Victoria, was already sweating profusely at this time, because he couldn't believe that the six warships on his side were actually inferior to the other party's three!

Indeed, in general, this situation is really unimaginable, but what is the reason for this?

"General! The other party's flag is coming out again, their capital ship is going straight over, and the other two ships are going to cover with fire! ”

"Got it!"

It's very strange, that is, when the opponent is fighting, he still keeps playing the flag, which is actually nothing, in this era of sea war, the contact between the warships still depends on this kind of flag, but under normal circumstances, because the other party can't know, so, the flag of their own side will definitely add some of their own things, which is like a password.

But now, we can completely read the opponent's flag, you know, this is after a few experiments, and then Jericho confirmed that the opponent is using the Ming language, but!

When the war has progressed to the present, these banners have changed again!

It doesn't work, it doesn't work at all!

I can still read and understand the other party's flag, but there are many times when the opponent's battleship moves completely out of that flag.

This is completely out of line with normal logic!

Because doing so will make your own side of the confusion, you know, if you use the flag language to communicate, then how can you make the front flag mean this way, and the back flag has a different meaning?

Isn't that the command chaotic, this is absolutely taboo in modern naval warfare, and even in all kinds of wars, no one will do this, even if it is to confuse the opponent.

Anyway, Jericho would never do this, because confusing the opponent, no matter how you look at it, it can't be compared with his own command chaos, and he is absolutely unwilling to command a group of disobedient guys to fight!

So, what's going on here?

In fact, because of this problem, Jericho ignored some individual points, for example, although the Taiping Empire fleet has fewer ships, their guns are faster and more accurate, and the ship's mobility is also better, this naval battle has been fought to the present, the British Empire's navy has already sunk one battleship, and two are wounded, while the other party is not too much of a problem, only scratched the skin.

But though, what about the flag......

Tick tick, tick tick......

The Pacific Empire's Brooklyn has a hidden cabin in a relatively deep cabin, and there are several people here, and they are constantly sending reports!

That's right, the answer is that the Pacific Imperial Fleet didn't use that flag language at all, we used radio all the time!

Because of the radio, there is no need for flags, but at this time, you have to use this thing in ocean navigation, not for ourselves, so that others can understand it.

So, since you still have to play the flag, let's take advantage of it, it's not a big deal anyway...... Of course, this confuses the opponent, it is also very simple, the general information is directly told to the opponent, and the important things, such as now......

"Not good! They're going to turn the rudder! "Jericho saw very clearly on the Victoria that the opponent's flagship was simply turning the rudder, not rushing towards his side!

You must know that at this time, the rudder is to show the side gun, which is already considered a very dangerous combat action.

That's right, show the side guns, this is a traditional naval battle must do an action, so as to give full play to the greatest firepower advantage of the side, everyone to see who has the most firepower, who to smash into the sea, so that the winner will be divided.

But now, because of the invention of the torpedo, the torpedo is really the No. 1 killer of the battleship, and the huge battleship naturally exposes its huge and slender hull after turning the rudder, so this time is definitely the best time to launch the torpedo!

In fact, this is also a motivation for the design of a battleship, that is, the previous battleships, that is, wooden sailboats, or steam-clad ironships, or early ironclad ships, when designed, they were the same as before, that is, they attached importance to the side guns, and it was not until the widespread use of torpedoes that the main guns were designed to the front and middle of the hull, and the caliber of the guns was very large, which was actually to solve the problem of insufficient firepower.

Because I didn't dare to turn the rudder easily, so many guns on the side could not be used, so I had to solve the problem by increasing the willy of the guns and using relatively few guns in front of me.

It's interesting, but it's not ...... This is designed by Li Mengyang, he doesn't know the Tao in this at all, he just sees the pictures where the main gun is placed like this, so ...... It's really a fool to be a fool.

In other words, it was actually a big leap in technology, which shortened a lot of time, and all this happened quietly.

Yes, it's not that Jericho is not capable enough, but that he has no way to stop this jump, and after the tide of the times accelerates, the speed of adaptation of human beings themselves is somewhat unable to keep up......

Thundered! Thundered!

The sudden appearance of the opposing battleship on the side made the British Navy unexpected, and before it had time to respond, the opponent's shells roared like a shower!

After all, there are still a lot of cannons on the side, and the firepower is even more ferocious.

"Ahhh

"My God!"

BOOM！

The Victoria was very unlucky to be hit, and the entire battleship was badly damaged.

"The cabin is leaking! The engine was broken! ”

“WHAT？”

Jericho received the report that he felt that God was not on their side this time.

"General, we must abandon ship!"

"This ......"

Jericho had great achievements in the Mediterranean, otherwise he would not have been able to control this Victoria, you know, this is a battleship named in the name of the Queen, if this battleship sinks, then the significance of this representation is too great!

The Victoria sank...... Victoria sank......

Actually, there is no such thing as a 'number' in English, and to put it bluntly, the name of the ship is Victoria......

"I'm not leaving! Let's go! ”

Jericho's face is devastated and he is ready to live and die with his ship!

"General! Don't be stupid! Let's go! ”

"Someone! Help! ”

Fortunately, the British sailors still supported the rising star, and they threw Jericho into the lifeboat.

The Victoria sank, and the entire British Mediterranean Fleet that came from afar immediately lost its heart, and all those who could run quickly ran away. Of the six battleships, two ran away, the other one did not run away and surrendered, and the other two were silent.

Jericho was also rescued by the Pacific Imperial Navy, and he had no choice but to become a prisoner...... (To be continued.) )
