Chapter 355: Fierce Battle at the Docks
PS: (Thanks to the girl for the precious monthly ticket that the cucumber dropped)
The French had five destroyers in the port of Toulon, and after receiving the order, they signaled that the remaining eight merchant ships could dock, and the French troops on the shore also collected their guns. However, Ralph Battalion Commander was very vigilant, and he ordered his men to monitor not far away to avoid a sudden attack by the Huaxia.
Battalion Commander Lal is also worried about a problem, there are many people on the dock, including many native aliens and Vietnamese aliens. Many Inhumans disobeyed, and it would be bad if they provoked the strong Chinese Inhuman army, and the conflict led to the Chinese attacking Toulon. Thinking of this, Ralph ordered his subordinates to give orders to the French Inhumans, not allowing them to provoke the Chinese, and whoever dared to disobey the order would be executed on the spot.
Many French players are surprised, when did the NPCs in their country start to take the Chinese people seriously? Silva had a sneer on his face in the crowd, and the national NPC army on the dock suddenly stopped targeting the Huaxia people, and must have received an order from the governor. These tens of thousands of Chinese strangers should be going to support Cam Ranh Bay, and the ambitions of the Chinese people for Vietnam have been clearly revealed.
Silva came to the port of Toulon to receive the goods, and he also arranged for men in Europe, but mainly for the arms business. Silva's development strategy was to do both, accumulating wealth with men on the European side and sending it to Indochina with arms. He then trained an army of indigenous NPCs on the Indochinese side, equipped with advanced weapons from Europe, and became the supremacy of the Indochina colonies.
This time, Silva suggested selling arms to Vietnamese players, one to deal with the Chinese in Cam Ranh Bay, and the other to make money. The French players were willing to sell arms to Vietnamese players, and the Vietnamese players felt a lot of happiness, and they didn't care about being made several times the difference by Silva in the middle.
A few days ago, Silva sold all the rifles he had stockpiled at once, and even collected all the rifles equipped by his indigenous army and sold them, making a windfall. The three forces that had purchased guns attacked Cam Ranh Bay. As a result, almost all the troops were wiped out, and the rifles that were bought were basically blown up.
Silva liked the result so much that he wished it was happening every day, that the Vietnamese had not been able to increase their strength after spending money, and that Cam Ranh Bay had spent countless shells but had not been captured. Silva had access to Europe, and he could transport arms from Europe to Indochina. Then earn a huge fortune.
Silva sold out of his stockpiled guns, so he needed to replenish them urgently, and soon sent a telegram asking his men in the country to send a batch of guns. This time, the freighter "Ford" under his name will deliver 3,000 Mauser G98 rifles, 7,000 Mauser 1888 rifles, 16 Haqi Case heavy machine guns, and a large amount of ammunition.
The Mauser G98 was used to equip the base troops, and the Mauser 1888 was intended to be sold to the Vietnamese. Silva was reluctant to equip his troops with Mauser G98s, but he made a windfall by doing business with the Vietnamese, and he simply gave it a hand. The weapons of the Vietnamese were ready. If the weapons and equipment department of his base troops is replaced, he will have no advantage in the face of Vietnamese player forces.
Coincidentally, Silva's freighter "Ford" also arrived in the port of Toulon today, but he was not worried about being looted by the Cam Ranh Bay fleet. Silva's freighter was flying the French flag, and if Cam Ranh Bay dared to openly rob French merchant ships, the authorities would no longer condone them, so they would not have made such a stupid decision.
There are more and more Chinese players getting on and off the boat at the dock, and many Vietnamese players are nervous and have contacted nearby local players. All 20,000 Huaxia players stood behind the dock. The Vietnamese players began the provocation, and they whistled at the side of the Chinese players. Because the French NPC army did not act. They didn't dare to go too far and could only wait and see what happened.
There were more than a dozen Vietnamese players who had set up a base near the port of Toulon, and these bosses quickly organized their men to arrive at the dock and chose a player named Cheng Zhongming to take the lead. After Cheng Zhongming counted the number of players, he found that there were more than 38,000 players from his country who had arrived in the port of Toulon, almost twice as many as Chinese players.
After I have confidence in my heart. Cheng Zhongming quickly found the French battalion commander Ralph and said politely: "Sir, 20,000 Chinese people landed in Toulon Port, obviously with bad intentions, are you not worried?" ”
Ralph snorted coldly and said, "Give these Huaxia people a thousand dares." They also did not dare to provoke our French Empire, they could only stay here for half a day. If the warships in Cam Ranh Bay do not come to pick them up after half a day, I will order my soldiers to attack. ”
Cheng Zhongming quickly understood that the two people on the dock turned out to be the Huaxia army who went to Cam Ranh Bay to support, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart. He smiled and said: "Sir, these Chinese people have enmity with us, and many of the local residents who show off their military power in Toulon Harbor have very opinions, if we have a conflict, you ...... sir."
Ralph interrupted Cheng Zhongming's words and said: "I was ordered not to clash with the Huaxia people, my troops will strictly implement the order, but you strangers are not under my jurisdiction, what you do has nothing to do with me." ”
After Cheng Zhongming told the bosses of all parties about the situation, many people clamored and clamored to fight with the Chinese people here.
After Cheng Zhongming solicited the opinions of all parties, most people expressed their support, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Done, this is our territory, if the players of Huaxia Kingdom hang up and some of them are estimated to have to return to China, we will help those people who are difficult to face." ”
On the side of the Chinese players, Dong Lonely Xue couldn't help frowning when she heard the clamor of the Vietnamese players. She noticed that many Vietnamese players took out their guns from their blankets, and immediately walked to the top of the place, and said loudly: "Brothers and sisters, there are more and more Vietnamese gathered over there, and they seem to have bad intentions. We must be prepared to be ready for their attack, and I suggest that you set up the resurrection point in the port of Toulon at once. ”
A player under Sanshengshi questioned: "If the resurrection point is set in Toulon, we will also be resurrected here after we hang up, wouldn't it be possible for those Vietnamese monkeys to be slaughtered and killed to level 0!" ”
Winter Lonely Snow said coldly: "If we don't set the resurrection point in Toulon Port, we will return to China after hanging, then it will be in vain, I am not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of?" Since Cam Ranh Bay dares us to wait in Toulon, they will definitely send warships over, and I believe that Boss Chen Baxian will not break his promise to so many players. I'll just drop a word here, and those who dare to fight to the death with the Vietnamese monkeys and wait for reinforcements will change the resurrection point. Even the inferior breed of women will go back if they want to return to China. ”
"Haha! Our lords, how could we not dare to change the resurrection point, Lao Tzu immediately changed it. ”
"That's right! Don't be ashamed of the people who spoke before. Brothers, we can't lose to the Iron Blood Rose, let's change the resurrection point! ”
On the side of the Chinese players, the players have changed the resurrection points. Including those who have evil intentions, they dare not go back without permission until their mission is completed. After Winter Silent Snow was approved by all the players, he immediately ordered all players to take out their weapons, and then gradually approached the depths of the dock to avoid being passive in the battle on the shore.
The Vietnamese players also discovered the intention of Winter Lonely Snow, and Cheng Zhongming immediately ordered the attack, and tens of thousands of Vietnamese players began to shoot at the side of the Chinese players. The French NPC soldiers, who had been maintaining order on the docks, withdrew to the barracks under the leadership of Lahr, and a warning sign was erected outside the barracks. Signaling the warring parties to cross the warning sign is challenging the French Empire.
A fierce battle ensued between the two sides, and since the Huaxia players were close to the shore and there were no obstacles around, they suffered losses at first. Vietnamese players don't have good weapons, but Chinese players don't have heavy weapons, and some even have short guns. After a short encounter, the Chinese players lost more than 600 people, and the Vietnamese players also hung up more than 200 people.
Winter Silent Snow calmly commanded the Huaxia players to leave the coast. After losing more than 600 people, Huaxia players are finally no longer passive. The two sides rely on some buildings in the port. Shooting at each other began across the empty dock, with casualties on both sides about the same.
The battle lasted half an hour, and more than a thousand people were hung up on both sides, when a whistle sounded on the sea. The French fleet had been watching the excitement on the sea, pointing at the two sides of the battle on the shore, and only after hearing the whistle not far away did the lookout look into the distance.
Ten warships cleaved the waves. First of all was a huge battleship, along with three cruisers and six destroyers. Having already received the order of the governor-general, the French navy did not panic, and they waved flags expressing their willingness to guide warships not far away into the port of Toulon to anchor.
Chen Hao had already seen the situation on the dock through the binoculars. His face turned ugly, because he had already warned the French that there was still an accident in the port of Toulon for his own players. If he doesn't show a tough attitude this time and take his domestic players to Cam Ranh Bay, his reputation will be greatly affected.
So Chen Hao ignored the flag of the French Navy, and he ordered the gunners to remove the gun jacket, revealing the hideous barrel. The ships in the rear, under the command of British officers, formed a battle formation on the sea, and they were about to go to war.
"Player Chen Baxian, you have set up a battle formation in front of the French Navy, and there may be friction at any time. Since you provoked you first, you will become an enemy of France in the event of a naval battle, and the French government's disgust for you will increase by 10 points. ”
After receiving the system prompt, Chen Hao didn't care, he didn't bring all the warships, because Cam Ranh Bay also had to leave some warships to guard his home. He had only ten warships, but had one battleship and three cruisers, and he did not believe that several destroyers of the French dared to open fire on their own initiative.
French Captain Heather was the commander of this small fleet, and the behavior of the Russian fleet frightened him, and he hurriedly ordered the standard-bearers to negotiate with the opposing fleet and tell them that he had no ill intentions. Chen Hao had a smile on his face, the French were afraid that things would be much easier, so he instructed the standard-bearer to signal that he was just guarding against the Vietnamese, and then ordered the warship to come up.
Colonel Heather felt that there was no need to offend this fleet because he received an order from his superiors, and Chen Hao was relieved that it was aimed at the Vietnamese. Colonel Heather boarded the deck of the Qin Shi Huang, and a Russian greeted him and said, "Sir, I wonder what's going on on the docks?" Why are our people being attacked. ”
Colonel Heather hurriedly explained: "Our troops did not participate in the battle, but there were a large number of Vietnamese aliens on the docks, and they hated the Chinese and wanted to attack us, and we could not stop it. ”
The Russian sneered: "Since you can't stop it, then it's up to us to stop it!" Colonel, we have no intention of provoking, but if the exchange of fire does not cease and the Vietnamese are not punished as they deserve, I will immediately order the fleet to shoot covering the harbor. “
"Of course, we absolutely respect our friends in France, and the troops on land in your country can be transferred to the sea ...... when conducting indiscriminate shelling"
Before the Russians finished speaking, Colonel Heather said with an ugly face: "The port of Toulon is a concession of our country, and if you shell the port, it will be a declaration of war on the French Empire." ”
The Russian sneered: "Colonel, we are pirates, and this is a pirate fleet. If the safety of our people is no longer guaranteed, we will use piracy to solve the problem and teach those Vietnamese monkeys a lesson. ”
Colonel Heather was shocked by the Russians' tough attitude, and he hesitated for a moment and said: "I can contact Camp Commander Ralph to stop those Vietnamese, I don't know if it will succeed, and I hope Your Excellency will exercise restraint." ”
Colonel Heather left the battleship and sent heralds to Camp Commander Ralph, who was stunned when he heard that the pirate fleet was going to shell the port. The Governor's order was for him to exercise restraint for twelve hours and not to clash with the Chinese on the docks, and his acquiescence to the Vietnamese attack was actually a loophole, and the Governor absolutely did not want a major battle in the port.
Ralph immediately left the barracks with two battalions of soldiers, and then sent a signal corps to warn the Vietnamese Inhumans to leave the port immediately. The Vietnamese players who were fighting fiercely with the Chinese players were very reluctant to stop fighting, Cheng Zhongming frowned, the French NPC was so resolute, if he refused to carry out the order, he was afraid that he would not be able to mix around the port of Toulon in the future.
Many players in Vietnam like to establish a base near the port, because the prosperity of the port allows them to develop better. French NPCs have always turned a blind eye to the establishment of bases by players, and if they offend French NPCs, Vietnamese players will definitely have a hard time.
When Cheng Zhongming was hesitating, Battalion Commander Ralph personally rushed over, and he said coldly: "If you local strangers don't retreat immediately, all the warships on the sea will carry out covering shelling to your location, so you can do it yourself." ”
Cheng Zhongming glanced at the warships at sea, and finally agreed to retreat after discussing with the other bosses, they were very unwilling. The battle lasted for an hour, and they found that the resurrection points of all the Chinese players were set in the port of Toulon, and if it wasn't for the French giving the order to retreat, they would most likely kill the Chinese players many times, because the Vietnamese players gathered on the dock would only increase.
