No one would have imagined that the first thing the Chinese Emperor Long Yufei did after arriving in Europe was to fight the Portuguese navy. Moreover, this battle was fought somewhat inexplicably. Although, this time Long Yufei's trip to Europe included the element of showing off his force, but he definitely didn't figure out guò to show off his force in this way. However, since others want to find death themselves, can they still stop others?

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "In the Atlantic, eight steam warships of the Chinese fleet and thirteen sail warships of the Portuguese navy fought a fierce battle, or it would be more appropriate to describe it as fierce. Because, although the Portuguese fleet has an advantage in quantity, in terms of quality, it cannot be compared with the Chinese fleet at all! The old sail ships of the Portuguese fleet still used breech guns. That kind of cannon, the range is up to three kilometers. Wanted to hit the battleships of the Chinese fleet, unless God appeared. The Chinese Navy's 'Western Zhou-class' battleships and 'Xia-class' cruisers not only have powerful firepower, but also have a much higher range than the Portuguese fleet. In such a situation, it is conceivable who will be able to win the final victory.

"Damn, how can this be?" On the second class battleship 'Lisbon', Vice Admiral Alfredo was also a little speechless when he saw the sea full of gunfire, and he did not know how he could give such an order in a fit of anger. But now that the battle has begun, will it be able to stop? Lieutenant General Alfredo was very bitter in his heart, and it would be good if he won the battle. He was a hero of the Kingdom of Portugal. But if he loses, then he may not even have a small life. Judging by the comparison of the strength of the two sides, does the Portuguese fleet have any hope of winning? That's almost unlikely. Steam warships of the Chinese fleet. Whether it is speed, firepower, or defense, it is much stronger than the Portuguese fleet!

"Boom! Rumble! "A Portuguese Navy's third-class battleship 'Cervantes' had a violent explosion. The battleship Wuwang of the Chinese fleet hit the unlucky battleship in this salvo. A 210-mm shell accurately hit the middle of the battleship 'Cervantes'. The shells, which weighed more than a hundred kilograms, destroyed the wooden hull with a light yì, and the shells exploded inside the battleship. The power of the explosion of twenty kilograms of smokeless gunpowder inside tore the battleship to shreds.

The destruction of the battleship 'Cervantes' terrified the officers and men of the Portuguese fleet. They seem to have only realized it at this time. How powerful their enemy is, and going to war with such an enemy is not a wise choice no matter how you look at it.

"General, the Chinese fleet is too strong. We can't fight them anymore. That's the case. We're going to be annihilated! "The captain of the battleship 'Lisbon', Colonel Castro, said anxiously. He knew that once the fight started, it would be like this, and they were not the opponents of the Chinese at all. Even the British navy was defeated by the Chinese, let alone them.

"Colonel, you must know that this war was not provoked by us first, it was the Chinese who fired at us first. We're just fighting back! Lieutenant General Alfredo roared loudly, as if that would make him seem a little more reasonable.

"General. We must withdraw from the battle now, or we will be dead!" "Colonel Castro doesn't seem to want to argue with Lieutenant General Alfredo, he just wants to change the situation. It's just that the battle has already begun, and now it's not easy to quit.

"Coward, you coward, you are not worthy to be a soldier of the Kingdom of Portugal. Those yellow-skinned monkeys were originally our enemies, although they are very strong, but even if they die in battle, we must maintain the glory of the Kingdom of Portugal! Lieutenant General Alfredo gritted his teeth and persisted. He is a stubborn and conceited person, and naturally he refuses to admit his mistakes. It was worse for him than death.

"Boom! Rumble! "Soon, another battleship of the Portuguese fleet was sunk. The two sides were not at all opponents of the ranks, and the naval guns of the Portuguese fleet could not reach the warships of the Chinese fleet at all. Even if it hits, the warships of the Chinese fleet will be able to defend themselves against a general attack. On the contrary, the warships of the Portuguese fleet, once hit by large-caliber naval guns, were either killed or wounded.

"Haha! Those Portuguese know how powerful they are, right? I really admire their courage, they actually dare to send a fleet to attack the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, it is simply looking for death! "On the battleship 'King Wen', Casimiro, the minister of the Kingdom of Spain to China, held a telescope and watched as one Portuguese battleship after another was hit, caught fire and burned, and then sank, screaming excitedly.

Next to him, Fabio, the French minister to China, was expressionless. Although the Kingdom of Portugal was a traditional ally of the British, it also had good relations with France. What's more, wouldn't it be nice to have a country that pinned down the Spaniards on the Iberian Peninsula? If the Kingdom of Spain dominates the Iberian Peninsula, the next step will be to go north. France does not want to see such an outcome. This is the politics between countries, even allies, there are times when they stab in the back.

Long Yufei also held the telescope with great interest, observing the naval battle. Although he was the emperor of the Chinese Empire, it was the first time he had seen a naval battle of this scale. It made him very excited, and the adrenaline worked at this moment. His concubine, the Thai princess Amami, also looked at this qiē with great interest, her eyes full of excitement. Although marrying an uncle who is more than twenty years older than her is a little difficult to accept. But Long Yufei was the emperor of the Chinese Empire, the most powerful person in the entire Far East, which made her very satisfied. Now watching the mighty Chinese fleet wantonly bombarding the fleets of the Western powers, she intuitively felt the strength of the Chinese Empire.

"No, the performance of the battleship has not yet been brought into play, and we still have to continue training." The performance of the Western Zhou-class battleship can only be brought into play after full running-in! Rear Admiral Ye Feng, chief of staff of the 5th Fleet, said to Rear Admiral Lu Haipeng with a stern face.

"When I return, I'm training these boys." Major General Lu Haipeng nodded. Sweat more in peacetime, and only in wartime can you shed less blood, he has grown from a pirate to the current fleet commander, and from the sea of corpses and blood, he understands this truth. The enemies of the Chinese Empire are very strong, and it is difficult to defeat them without strengthening their training and having powerful warships.

The fierce naval battle ended in less than an hour, and most of the thirteen battleships of the Portuguese fleet were sunk, and only a few were damaged. However, these damaged battleships all raised the white flag, otherwise, they would have been sunk. The flagship of the Portuguese fleet, the battleship Lisbon, was also shippping and was sunk in a fierce naval battle.

The sea was full of Portuguese naval officers and sailors holding wooden planks and floating on the sea. They were all lucky people who were lucky not to be killed in the naval battle. However, if no one saves them at this time, they will not escape death. Hundreds of kilometres from the Portuguese coast, they can't go back, and if they don't starve to death, they'll freeze to death in the icy waters, or they'll just become a shark's meal.

"The battle is over, the Chinese navy is indeed strong, and it only took an hour to destroy a powerful fleet!" Casimiro, the Minister of the Kingdom of Spain to China, exclaimed.

Fabio, the French minister to China, nodded, he was very envious, if the French navy also had such a powerful fleet, maybe it would be able to directly challenge the British.

"The battle is over, those people at sea, all are innocent. I beg the Emperor to save them! Minister Fabio said to Long Yufei.

Long Yufei nodded. If these two ministers were not present, I am afraid he would not have bothered to give the order to save these Portuguese. However, with outsiders present, it still needs to be done.

"General Lu, arrange for someone to save those Portuguese!" Long Yufei ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Major General Lu Haipeng nodded a little reluctantly, but he still arranged for someone to rescue the Portuguese who fell into the water.

"Your Majesty, these Portuguese actually dare to attack you, you must not let them go lightly!" Casimiro, the Spanish minister to China, began to fan the flames again. Although the Chinese fleet wiped out a fleet of the Portuguese navy, the Portuguese power was damaged. However, this was not enough, and it would be even better if the power of the Kingdom of Portugal could be further weakened.

"That's right, Minister Casimiro is absolutely right. The empire had declared war on Portugal in order to recover Macau. However, after recovering Macau, the empire ceased its attacks on Portugal. This time His Majesty visited Europe, and the Portuguese actually wanted to murder His Majesty, which is simply a heinous crime, and they can't just be let go! Foreign Minister Lin Zihao said.

"Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding in this?" French Minister to China Fabio said.

"What misunderstanding can there be? I see, this is simply the intention of the Portuguese. Otherwise, why did they not only not listen to the warnings of the Chinese fleet, but continued to provoke? Casimiro, the Spanish minister to China, hurriedly said.

Long Yufei pondered for a while, and then said, "The empire will not give up on this matter!" General Lu, turn around in a moment and head to Lisbon, and if the Kingdom of Portugal doesn't give me a clear answer, don't blame us for shelling Lisbon! (To be continued......)
