It seems that the two British warships that showed Yang Feng the field have made many people on the other side of the strait fearful, although Taiwan is under the control of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, but after the Battle of Mawei Naval Division, the Fujian Navy Division has existed in name only, and these two warships can be said to be the only thing that the entire Nanyang Fleet can handle, although it is Li Hanzhang's ship, but in order not to be too embarrassed, Liu Kunyi can only borrow it.

However, Liangguang is known as a cruiser, to put it bluntly, it is two large torpedo boats, of course, with the level of torpedoes at this time, it is very suspicious to make the torpedo boat so big, the iron ribbed wooden shell, it is said to have dome armor, but the thickness seems to be the same level as the armored cruiser ordered by Yang Feng at the Armstrong shipyard, which shows that he is not sensational.

In the Battle of Toshima, it is still quite good, although it is difficult to say whether it was close to sinking Akitsu Prefecture, but it attacked Yoshino, Naniwa, and Akitsu Prefecture in a row, but there is no doubt about it, even the Japanese themselves admitted that this cargo was purely a war scum and made them careful with their livers banging, a torpedo boat can be said to have completely fulfilled its naval battle responsibilities, as for the final sinking is purely normal, you let a thousand-ton wooden hull ship add up to more than 10,000 tons against three, and there are two of the most advanced cruisers in the world, what ending can it have except to sink?

No matter what, it's better than Master Fang who was splashed by the brains of the first mate and ran away in fright, right?

After the three of them came, they first negotiated with the British consul and asked him why the British warship came to Dagou Harbor, and the British consul arrogantly told him that they had come to protect the investment of the respected Mr. Yang.

The name confused them, and just after Yang Feng walked out with his cane on his toes, the three guys' eyes almost fell to the ground.

"Contemptible Yang Feng, I have made a little money doing business in the UK over the years, this time I deliberately returned to China to invest, which can be regarded as benefiting Sangzi, and my British friends were worried about my safety, so I sent two warships to protect it, but it frightened the three adults. Boss Yang knocked on his sunglasses and said lightly, he didn't realize that Dog Gang had no connection with his Sang Zi in any way.

Lin Guoxiang and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't come to find trouble, British warships haven't stopped at any port these days, so there is no need to worry about such a trivial matter.

"Young Master Yang, is this your ship?" Lin Guoxiang looked at the Nautilus next to him with a hint of surprise, this strange black ship was so visually impactful that all the ships that came to Dog Harbor were inevitably shocked.

Before Yang Feng could answer him, O'Connor, the Taipan of Shanghai Bofors Foreign Company, came over from a distance and shouted at Lin Guoxiang very enthusiastically: "Captain Lin, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Mr. O'Connor, why are you here?" Lin Guoxiang said with a smile in English, it seems that the relationship between the two is good.

"Captain Lin, this is my boss." O'Connor said with a hand at Yang Feng.

Since there are people who are familiar with each other, the atmosphere of the two sides will be different immediately, under the careful service of Fengshan Zhixian, a group of people went directly to the county office, and then sat down at the wine table, and soon called the brother and brother.

Yang Feng's Bofors foreign company was purely to sell arms in China, and during this time with automatic pistols and rapid-fire rifles, it was quite famous in Shanghai, after the first batch of giveaways C96 was welcomed by the officers of the Beiyang army, Li Erdevil ordered another 5,000 Li Enfield rifles, most of which were said to be given to the Marine Division, that is, the Marine Corps, and a small part to Nie Shicheng's third battalion of Wuyi Army.

In addition to him, his brother also bought two thousand rifles and one hundred pistols, and most of them were given to the sailors, and Lin Guoxiang was responsible for receiving these firearms, so he knew O'Connor, which made Yang Feng very puzzling, as if he liked to equip the warship with enough infantry weapons at this time.

"Captain Lin, now Bofors is developing a new type of torpedo, whether it is speed, range, or power, these are far more than the current torpedoes, and they can be built in half a year at most, I don't know if you Nanyang sailors are interested? Of course, the cost is slightly more expensive, almost twice as much as a white-headed torpedo, but it is definitely worth the price. At the banquet, Yang Feng suddenly said.

He suddenly thought that if Lin Guoxiang was really equipped with a steam gas torpedo, then would it be possible for him to really sink Qiujin Prefecture? You must know that the range of the current white-headed torpedo is actually only a few hundred meters, if you want to attack the enemy, it is undoubtedly necessary to shorten the distance to a very terrifying distance, but if you change to a steam gas torpedo with a range of more than five kilometers, then there is no need to get close at all, and you can even attack from a distance beyond the combat distance.

You must know that at this time, the combat distance of warships was at most four or five kilometers, and the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle seemed to be mainly engaged within three kilometers.

"Young Master Yang, how far can this torpedo hit?" Lin Guoxiang asked.

"Four or five kilometers, right?" Yang Feng said casually.

Not to mention Erlin, even the two British captains who were drinking together were stunned, a torpedo with a range of four or five kilometers, so that Whitehead would not be allowed to live?

"The speed should be between thirty and forty knots, and it is equipped with special instruments, basically you don't need to consider the influence of water flow, the caliber is five or three three millimeters, and the thunder head charge is one hundred and fifty kilograms, not to mention the cruiser, it is a first-class ironclad ship, and it will still be killed in one thunder." Yang Feng said a little proudly.

The First Sino-Japanese is undoubtedly the best arms showcase, steam gas torpedoes, high-speed destroyers, rapid-fire artillery ... Let those ghosts drop their jaws one by one! It's just that the poor Emperor Xià had to be an unfortunate test subject.

"Young Master Yang, if Bofors's torpedo really has such performance, then I must recommend it to the master of Taiwan." Lin Guoxiang said, and the two British captains also looked at each other, and it was clear that they were thinking the same thing.

Yang Feng smiled very casually, this is fine, anyway, it is too early to give them, and it is not good to arouse the vigilance of the Japanese, but then he thought of something and asked again: "Captain Lin, there is one thing I want to ask the two of you for help."

"Young Master Yang, please speak." Lin Guoxiang said.

"I need a crew, a large number of crews, preferably those who have served on a warship, if you can experience the best naval battles, you can basically say as many as you want, and even if Captain Lin and you two are interested, I am very welcome, and I will give you a high salary." Yang Feng said a little half-jokingly.

He does lack a crew now, his soon-to-be-built cruiser, so far there is not a crew, although it can be recruited from Sweden, if it can be equipped with a group of Chinese crews, it is naturally the best, and those two high-speed destroyers, this kind of thousand-ton small ship Armstrong can be made in a few months, according to the plan, there must be at least two such destroyers, plus the landing ship also needs people, that is to say, in the next two years, he will need at least more than a thousand crews.

In addition to the crew and the captain, he even lacks a fleet commander, this fleet commander must be a reassuring person, his plan is to let the current captain of the Nautilus, the American Ballmer serve as the commander of this fleet, this cargo was the captain of the Southern privateer during the Civil War, and he is particularly good at burning, killing and looting.

But in this way, he didn't even have the captain of the Nautilus.

And this old bachelor has not fought a naval battle for many years, even if he used to be mainly stealing chickens and dogs, and lacked experience in large-scale modern naval warfare, of course, such talents are difficult to find now, Jiawu is the first large-scale naval duel in the ironclad era, even the British have no real ironclad naval combat experience at this time.

So Yang Feng wants to do his best to dig people everywhere, the target of this goods is those survivors of the Mawei naval battle, these people must still be idle, but they have also experienced a naval battle, the defeat of Mawei is too stupid to put it bluntly, the officials are too stupid, stupid and a little crazy, if it is said that let the French fleet enter Mawei, there is still a trace of explanation, then after receiving an ultimatum from others, it is completely unreasonable to not notify the preparation for war.

As a survivor of this naval battle, Lin Guoxiang, who has also carried out a decisive assault, will definitely be able to find many surviving crew members.

"Young Master Yang, please rest assured, it's a trivial matter, and it's on the two of us." Lin Guoxiang patted his chest and said, as for letting the two of them go to work for Yang Feng, this is just a joke, and the bad guy is also an official.

Naturally, asking people to help is indispensable to give some labor fees, each person will first send 1,000 silver dollars, and then Philip, the head of the Hong Kong branch of Jinyuan Company, will introduce them to them, and Philip will be responsible for liaising with them later, and the recruited crew will be sent directly to Europe.

Of course, Yang Feng doesn't want everyone, even if they find it, they have to go through the assessment, which they also understand.

After sending Liangguang away, Yang Feng handed over the affairs here to O'Connor to be responsible, and he also left Dagou Port and sailed to Shanghai, he was mainly here to recruit Chinese mercenaries, and after the incident, he had to go back to plan to rob Kuwait, how could he have the time to stay in this small broken port.

Before leaving, under the warm invitation of Sister Caiyi and her longing for Shanghai, Ye Zi finally couldn't hold back Youhuo and got on the Nautilus that set sail.

The trimaran without drag rode the wind and waves at sea, sailed into the mouth of the Yangtze River the next day, and then sailed into Wusongkou under the greeting of four British warships, at this time Shanghai was already the largest port in the Far East, and the merchant ships and warships of various countries on the Huangpu River gathered, and Ye Zi was so excited that he was like a kindergarten child watching the flowers, completely ignoring the monster-like eyes on the ships.
