At six o'clock in the afternoon, the fleet finally arrived in Hong Kong and docked in the vicinity of Chai Wan. When Spintozi saw dozens of wounded soldiers brought ashore in the boat, he couldn't help but be surprised, and Ergin explained with a gloomy face: "We were attacked by Chinese off the coast of Shanwei. ”

"Chinese? Sneak attack? Spintozzi was even more surprised. Although the gunboats of the Guangfu Army were advanced, it could be seen that the firepower was not strong, otherwise they would not have allowed the "Strong" to go freely to and from Guangzhou. How is it possible to run more than a dozen nautical miles away to sneak up on a huge fleet? Could it be that the Liberation Army is hiding the strength of the Navy? So he anxiously asked: "How many warships do the Chinese have?" "Looking at Ergin's expression, the Royal Navy should have suffered a loss, which is not good news.

"It's not a warship, it's a flying machine." He Bu, who had just disembarked, explained. The Royal Navy is not afraid of any enemy at sea, but this time the enemy is from the air, and it is not a crime of war!

"Flying machines?" This is the third time the general has been surprised today. In his cognition, the only thing that can be called a flying machine is a hot air balloon, and he really can't imagine how that stupid guy who is not tied to a rope and floats in the wind when he goes to the sky can launch an attack on a warship?

"It's not a hot air balloon, it's a small, free-flying machine like a bird." Heb could guess what Spintozi was thinking, and he took a few sketches from the adjutant and handed them to the general. These are all drawings of the "bumblebee" by officers and soldiers with drawing skills, and although they are not very accurate and sometimes contradictory, the main features of the wings, tail fins, and screws are revealed. While looking at the picture at Spintozzi, Heb explained to him the parameters he had observed, "The wings were about twenty feet long, the body should be wooden, and there were two crew members, the driver in the front, and the one in the back, who was responsible for taking pictures, and was the operator of the repeating musket......"

After reading the sketch, Spintozzi had a large image of the plane, at least the next time he encountered it, he would be able to recognize it. However, he still had some questions, "Is it this flying machine that caused nearly 100 casualties to you?" ”

"Yes," Hebu shuddered at the thought of the flesh hell on the Goa, "I sent someone to count it, and found nearly a hundred bullet holes, plus the soldiers, it is estimated that they carried two hundred rounds of bullets, and they should have run out of bullets when they left." And our soldiers have no experience in dealing with flying machines, and people are gathered together, which is why such a big loss is caused. ”

"Fortunately, the aircraft is too small to install a cannon on it, otherwise it would not only be the loss of people." With decades of military experience, Spintozzi quickly saw the shortcomings of the aircraft, "If there is only one means of attack, then this kind of aircraft can only play a role in harassment in the war, but cannot determine the victory or defeat of the war." "I have to say that the words of the army general are right in the current situation, in the absence of bombers, attack planes, and helicopter gunships, the number cannot form a scale, and a single lightly armed aircraft really cannot affect the victory or defeat of the war.

After three or four hours of busyness, after the sun had completely set, more than 10,000 army troops, as well as artillery, ammunition, baggage, horses, and part of the navy, were transported ashore, and then there was another rush to set up camp. Ergin and the others also did not care about resting, so they let Spintozi lead the way and observe the Chinese positions. The group came to the Mount Davis Fort, which already had a certain scale, and overlooked the Stonecutters Island military camp a few miles away.

By this time, it was already dark, and the stars were shining brightly in the sky, but the bright lights of the military camp opposite overshadowed them. Several searchlights were installed on the earthen embankment outside the barracks, looking at the pillars of light that pierced the night sky like sharp swords, all of which stimulated the nerves of the count and others, but Spintozzi was used to it, and pointed to the light to introduce the defense system of the Restoration Army: "That is the military camp of the Liberation Army." The perimeter is an earthen embankment of about ten feet, as well as a number of guard towers, and a wire fence outside the earthen embankment. It is strange that there were about five or six hundred men stationed in the battalion, some of them armed with advanced breech-loading muskets, and some of them armed with cold weapons. They are different from all the armies of the East, and they are relatively close to the modern armies of the West in terms of training methods and combat modes. I guess it's because they don't have enough muskets to equip everyone. ”

"This is good news to spread to the soldiers." Ergin sighed softly. The attack in the afternoon was too demoralizing, and any good news would help boost morale. "Charles, it seems that you have done a good job of gathering intelligence and have a clear understanding of the enemy's situation."

"James, you know, those Chinese people just give them a little money, and they can tell you anything." Spintozi laughed. Buying Chinese to act as spies is what he has been doing, and the effect is good. However, the Guangfu Army could not completely prevent them, did not have a navy to block the waterways, and could not prohibit other Chinese from approaching the barracks.

"There are two heavy guns on that hill that have a range that exceeds all of our artillery." Spintozzi continued, but the news was bad news for the others.

"Are you sure?" He Bu asked unwillingly.

"I'm sure," Spintozi said, pointing to the nearby island of Ilha Verde, "and the Liberation Army used to conduct test firing on that target, and all five of them hit, and each shell landed no more than ten feet away. ”

This data made a group of naval officers gasp. Most people know that the distance between Stonecutters and Ilha Verde Island is more than two miles in a straight line, and it is an absolute nightmare for the Royal Navy to maintain such accuracy over such a long distance.

He Bu looked at the group of discouraged naval officers and said loudly, "There is nothing to worry about. It is a basic principle of the Navy not to confront the shore defense batteries head-on, and we just need to avoid them. And we also have a secret weapon, and when the time comes, we will definitely be able to teach these yellow-skinned monkeys a hard lesson, and let them understand that to provoke the Royal Navy is to face monstrous anger. ”

At the same time, in the conference room of the Liberation Army base, the heads and brains of various military departments were gathering together to watch the images and materials brought back by the "Bumblebee."

On the screen, the fleet of more than 30 sailing ships looks mighty, with towering masts, graceful hulls, rows of neat gun windows, and a huge Royal Navy flag at the stern. Such spectacular images are rare in movies of the 21st century, and even if they do, they are made by computers. Some time ago, during the battle, the beached Palm was towed back to the Navy Pier, and sail enthusiasts used their spare time to clean up the trophy and use it as an activity place for enthusiasts. Not everyone can have such a big toy, and all kinds of simulated game activities make them happy. As for the Cool, it is not yet capable of salvaging it, but the ship's cannons and other accessories have been removed. The Ministry of Commerce has already begun to find new owners for them.

Yang Bo also looked at the screen quietly, but he still had work to do - to find out the identity of these warships based on historical data and pictures. The information is provided by many sail battleship enthusiasts, and the correctness needs to be verified. At this time, several veteran enthusiasts debated the number and distribution of guns on the flagship Calcutta.

Naval Senior Lieutenant Zhang Anbang also watched the film silently, looking forward to when he would be able to command such a huge fleet. Of course, there is no need for sail warships, at worst they have to be "dreadnought", as long as there is one, they can completely defeat the entire Far Eastern Fleet of the British. It's a pity that even if there are ships, there are not enough sailors, otherwise if you drive out the 10,000-ton ships on the dock, you can "sink" them all with a hit. However, this YY finally turned into a sigh, he knew that in the next battle, the "Xiangmi Lake" could only stay in the dock and had no chance to play.

Although the Royal Navy is huge, the audience is watching the film with the mood of watching dioramas, and no one plans to spend a short time at sea with the Royal Navy right now, so no one is worried that the fleet can pose a threat to themselves. "No matter how powerful the warship is, can it still sail to land?" The views of modern people on this issue are the same as those of the Qing Dynasty, and the only difference is that the Liberation Army has a strong army as its backing. As for the tricks of "blocking the port" and "cutting off the transportation", because the Liberation Army has a huge warehouse in the original time and space, it is useless.

When the content of the film enters the final "climax" part, most of the audience members who did not know the situation in advance shouted excitedly.

"Wear it, wear it, wear two in a row!"

"The Fourth Bully!"

"Damn! The guy was lucky, and the bullet grazed the edges. ”

"Haha, sell teammates."

Philips' DV clearly recorded the scene of machine gun fire on the deck, and just listening to the sound, people who didn't know thought they were watching the CS battle video. Looking at the young man who was excited by the bloody killing, Shen Xingshi asked Wei Bozhi and Ma Angelica worriedly, "Is it too much?" Anyway, the British are different from the mutants, and they are only killed for self-preservation, and if they take this as fun, wouldn't it be the same as the Japanese? Do you think that political work cadres should step up their ideological work? Knock this out of the way! ”

"It's not that serious." Ma Angelica said disappreciatively, "A soldier must be bloody, and he must be ruthless enough to the enemy, so as to ensure that we are invincible." ”

"I agree with Brother Pony!" Wei Bozhi nodded, "In today's world, the law of survival is the law of survival. Britain, France, the United States, and Russia are a pack of vicious wolves, and if they don't want to be their meal, they can only be more vicious and ferocious than them. We must not only be part of the wolf pack, but also strive to be the first wolf. ”

"The Chinese are just too kind." Mr. Huang, who rarely expressed his opinion on these issues, also intervened.

"There's nothing wrong with being kind, right?" Shen Xing didn't expect that he would also be refuted by everyone one day.

"Kindness is a virtue, bravery is also a virtue, without bravery, kindness becomes cowardice!" Chairman Huang suddenly said such philosophical words, which couldn't help but impress everyone. It seems that in the new environment, everyone is learning and improving! Although Shen Xingshi felt that the topic had deviated from his original intention, his attitude towards the enemy had risen to the height of national and national character, and he had nothing to say, so he could only hope that he was unfounded.

"Bumblebee", or Wang Li, left contentedly after leaving a lot of dead and wounded on the deck, and the film ends here. The war with the British, which broke out in this way, and achieved considerable results, surprised and excited most of the attendees. Some young people shouted and applauded excitedly, and Wang Li, who was a hero, hurriedly got up to express his gratitude, while another hero still sat there as usual and pretended to be cool, but a faint smile could be seen from the corner of his mouth.

The results achieved by the "Bumblebee" opened everyone's minds, and it was only equivalent to an air strike at the level of World War I that a warship lost its combat effectiveness, which made everyone even more convinced that imperialism was a "paper tiger". Various air-to-sea attack options were proposed, and the development of aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes was also put on the agenda.
