Chapter 608: Truth Is Only Within the Range of Cannons!

"General Liu, the Russians and the Dutch are really annoying, should we take some action?" Looking at the two Russian-Dutch capital ships that were still ghostly, Liu Guanxiong said with some disgust. Originally, the British and French fleets and the Chinese fleet just went their own ways after greeting each other, but the sudden appearance of the Russian-Dutch fleet made all this a little weird, not only the two Russian-Dutch capital ships were still following in the distance, but at the same time, the British and French fleets that should have left also turned a corner and followed in the distance, and began to watch these two fleets that were enemies in the South China Sea! It's quite unpleasant!

The Huaxia Fleet was not unobserved, and Britain appeared in the warring waters several times during the Sino-Japanese War when the Qing and Japanese were at war, and the Beiyang Fleet and the Japanese Fleet did not pay attention to these situations at that time. But at this time and that time, what you can endure back then does not mean that you can endure it now! At that time, the strength of the Huaxia Navy was weak and at the same time it was at war, but now it is different, with the growing strength of the Huaxia Navy and the victory again and again, the pride in the hearts of Liu Buyun and others is also increasing day by day, and a kind of arrogance and domineering are slowly cultivated.

You said that the British and French navies will follow, and it will be a big deal to speed up and escape, but this trick is not good in the face of the Russian and Dutch navies, they are two fast battleships, and there are 4 dreadnought battleships in the Chinese naval fleet, according to the principle that the sailing speed of the fleet is determined by the slowest warship, you can't outrun the Russian-Dutch fleet, unless you disband the formation, but if you disband the fleet in the face of a few guys who follow behind and steal, isn't it a shame to throw it to grandma's house? Moreover, Huaxia still needs to carry out formation change training today, and some of its tactical moves should not be known to outsiders. Especially the Russians and the Dutch as enemies!

But what can you do now? Go back and chase away those annoying flies? Let's not say that the speed of the two sides is about the same, maybe the two battle cruisers of the Huaxia Navy are faster, but they have traveled so far from the North Sea to the South China Sea. After a long journey, the motivation and personnel were already quite exhausted, and it was obviously impossible to run at top speed. And even if you go to drive it away, what can you do if they don't leave? Playing bumper boats with them? Liu Buyun himself is still heartbroken about these warships, how can he take the initiative to ram them? And the big ship is different from the small boat, if it hits, it is generally not a small matter, look at the place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, in case it is a big thing, it will not end well!

"Can we change our training program today?" Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the conning tower. Liu Buyun is very familiar with this voice, and it should be Deng Shichang, who will take over the Huaxia Fast Fleet in the future. is lukewarm to this non-Min Liu Buchan, on the one hand, because he is not a Min party. On the other hand, Liu Buyun and Deng Shichang are of equal status in the Huaxia Fleet, Liu Buchan is the commander of the battle fleet, and Deng Shichang should be the commander of the fast fleet if nothing else, and at the same time I have the most elite combat power in the Huaxia Navy!

"Today it was supposed to be a change of formation patrol. Transform from a marching box formation to a battle line. This directly determines the time for our fleet to change from a marching state to an offensive formation, and I don't know what Lord Deng plans to do. Liu Buyun said calmly.

"We can bring forward the artillery training after five days to today, and it is still a live-fire artillery training. In this case, even if this sea area is an exercise area, the Russians and the Dutch will not leave! Deng Shichang sneered.

"But we don't have a target ship, not even a reef that sticks out of the sea, how can we train?" Liu Guanxiong is a little confused, is there no reference for a while? These shells and propellants cost money!

"We are here to drive out the Russians and the Dutch, and besides. We are willing to fight, but we can't. We can also point our guns at the Russian battleships, anyway, they are now in our exercise area, and we have the right to expel them, if we don't go again....... Deng Shichang made an expression that everyone understands. It means that if the other party doesn't know each other again, in case of accidental injury, we are not responsible!

"Isn't this easy to misfire? It would have been nice if only the Russians and the Dutch had done this, but with Britain and France nearby, things could easily get bigger. A staff officer next to him said with some concern. That's it, the king of heaven can't help but let the Huaxia Navy train. Liu Buyun gritted his teeth and said. Send a signal to the British, French, Russian-Dutch fleets to move away from them. We're going to do gunnery training! ”

At this time, the fleets of the four countries, which were following behind, also quickly received the signal of the Huaxia Navy. "It seems that the Russians provoked General Liu Buchan." Brigadier General Goodman, commander of the British and French fleets, said to the staff officer next to him. "We're going to change course and get out of here now." The British and French said they didn't mind and were ready to leave the sea to avoid trouble, but unfortunately the Russians were not so conscious, or in other words, the Russians would not give in until they were sure of their losses.

"Keep your distance, I'm really eager to see what will happen to the Huaxia Navy's artillery training." Essen suggested. "This artillery training is just a pretense, there is not even a single reef in this sea except for the warships, what do they use as a reference?" Admiral Harvey on the side said a little impatiently.

"I don't think the Huaxia Navy will shoot at us. This is an act of war, and the Anglo-French navy next to it will testify for us. Essen looked at the Huaxia fleet in front of him, which had begun to slow down, although he was uneasy, but he still didn't plan to leave like this. Mr. Rear Admiral, the battleships of the British and French have already left, and they do not intend to get involved in this matter. And now the Chinese fleet has begun to turn, and their guns are already aimed at us! Harvey pointed to the evacuating British and French fleets in the distance. Admiral Harvey agreed that Huaxia will not go to war without a declaration, but that does not mean that it will not hit you twice, as I did in Batavia ten years ago, I will not declare war, but if you get in the way of me, I will beat you up!

"12,000 meters, it's a bit far." After hearing the staff officer's report on the distance between the Huaxia fleet and the Russian-Dutch fleet, Liu Buyun said with regret that it was very difficult to achieve the results of this distance, Deng Shichang put forward a suggestion to scare the Russians, and Liu Buyun played a little on his basis, that is, if he could, leave some commemoration for the Russians and the Dutch!

The Longxing-class battleship first completed the turn, and the four triple turrets began to slowly rotate to aim at the E-Load Combined Fleet that was continuing to follow, and with the issuance of the firing order, the Longxing-class rangefinder had firmly covered the flagship of the Russian-Dutch Combined Fleet, the Seven Provinces, and then according to the data measured by the rangefinder, the fire control room was settled, and it was immediately transmitted to each turret through the communication line.

At the same time, under the command of the gun commander, the officers and men in the turret opened the fire door of the ammunition conveyor and sent the shells and the cartridges to the gun position, and then with the help of the loading servo equipment, the shells and the cartridges were sent into the chamber in turn, and then the bolts were closed to complete the locking, and the last aim was carried out according to the data transmitted from the fire control room. With the flashing of the signal light that the artillery was ready, the fire control room finally gave the order to fire!

Rumble! Accompanied by a series of loud noises, the roar of the heavy guns of the Longxing-class battleships echoed for the first time in the waters of the Far East! The 4 turrets protruded a long fire dragon and flew towards the approaching Russian-Dutch fleet in the distance, and the screeching sound of cannonballs across the sky startled the hearts of all the foreigners present! Whether it was the British, the French, the Russians and the Dutch, they did not expect that Huaxia would actually fire directly at the opponent, and after giving the signal, they would start fighting without even warning!

"Oh God." Seeing the smoke on the Longxing that had not yet dissipated, Admiral Harvey's heart suddenly rose to his throat. "The fleet immediately turned, and we got out of here." Now no one can organize Admiral Harvey's order, the Huaxia fleet is serious, this distance is no longer safe, that is, the mission rate is only one percent, and nearly 70 main guns of the 7 warships of the Huaxia fleet are enough to hit one shot in two salvos! If it slows down after being shot, Harvey believes that the Huaxia fleet will not mind sinking it!

"It's a bit far away." Soon, the data from the rangefinder showed that the Longxing fired the closest shell from the Seven Provinces in three stages for the first time was more than 700 meters away. The shooting accuracy of more than 10 kilometers is really unreliable. "General Liu, they turned and left, do we want to continue?" An officer next to him asked.

"After the Longxing fights a round, you should see them off!" Looking at the Seven Provinces that were turning, Liu Buyun had a contemptuous smile in his eyes. The Longxing's 12 main guns fired three shots in one minute, and although each shell did not enter within 300 meters of the Seven Provinces, the fierce firepower of the Longxing still forced the Dutch treasure to run away. And the Peter the Great in the back had to follow in the footsteps of the boss and evacuate.

"It's so powerful." Esen looked at the majestic battleship behind him and couldn't help but sigh. The performance of the Longxing just now made Essen feel a chill in his heart, he had not seen the salvo of dreadnoughts, he had witnessed the salvo of the Borodino-class battleship and the battleship Seven Provinces built in France during sea trials. The salvo of 8 main guns was spectacular, and the 12 main guns of the Longxing increased the firepower by more than half! Moreover, the long range also made Essen feel uneasy, firing at a distance of more than 10 kilometers Essen never thought about it, and now the Russian Navy still does not fire at a distance of more than 7,000 meters in the combat drills. And now it seems that the gap between the Russian Navy in artillery is getting bigger and bigger, and it won't be long before the two sides will go to war!

At the same time, the British and French were also shocked by Huaxia's behavior, it stands to reason that after you finish the signal, you should also shoot a few empty rounds of ammunition to warn it, and you will directly go to the live ammunition, which is too domineering! Both the Royal Navy and the French Navy thought that it was really incomprehensible for Huaxia to do this, but only Goodman knew the reason, because in the private exchanges with the Chinese naval generals, the Huaxia Navy repeatedly implicitly proposed Huaxia's dominance in Southeast Asia, and this time, it was just that Huaxia finally made its own voice: in Southeast Asia, everything will tremble under the naval guns of the Huaxia Navy! Whether it's the Russians or the Dutch, or any other potential threat!
