The so-called original plan is actually a disguised plan! I opened the space door beforehand and brought out my army. Their task is not to drive ships or fight, but to pretend to be many! I put all the sailors in charge of the artillery in position, and they could open fire as soon as they received the order. All the cannons were loaded, and if the British really dared to open fire, the fleet could immediately return fire as soon as I gave the order.
Except for the artillery positions and the necessary sailors, the rest of the sailors were called up and sent to the Noah, while the Iron Cavalry was assigned to the various battleships. My assumption was that the Iron Riders would stand in a row on the sides of the battleship, and that the neat equipment and appearance would make the British mistakenly think that our sailors were very good, when in fact they would not have thought that these were not sailors. And the sailors who were sent to the Noah were pretending to be busy walking around on it, in order to make the British think that the Noah was combative! For the sake of realism, I also transferred Amenes to Noah to help create the illusion! The British would not have thought that Noah was an empty shell, we have such a large warship, they should not dare to do it!
The fleet slowly entered the strait, and on the sea next to us, the Imperial fleet of the British was lined up in a very spectacular manner. Ayana came back and reported that the depth of the seabed was more than 300 meters, which was enough to pass through guò, and that the Noah now only had a layer of shell, and the actual draft was just over half of what it was when it was fully loaded! Seeing the battleship approaching, the British next to them all ran to the deck and looked at this big guy in surprise. They have never seen such a large sea fortress before!
When the Biling passed through the narrowest part of the Strait of Gibraltar, the British battleship next to it suddenly made a loud noise, the sound I am familiar with, it was the sound of shelling, and the British opened fire! But I quickly realized that it was no ordinary artillery, because no battleship was shot! Rumble! Another bang! This time, I saw it clearly, it was the cannon sound from the battleship next to us, and according to the rhythm, it should be a salute! Surprise me! Fortunately, the guns are operated by NPCs, and if the player had just now, someone would definitely have been able to fight back!
As our fleet passed by the side of the British fleet, all the Dark Iron Riders raised their swords in front of them as I had asked, and saluted the knights with the tips pointing upwards to the opposite side. I didn't do this because I respected the British, but because I wanted them to know that these were good knights, and that it was just another way for me to show my strength!
When the battleship guiding us at the front of the line through the Guò Strait also left the queue and returned to the British fleet, I stood at the bow and saluted the opposite side, and remained in this position until the following fleet followed.
After leaving the strait, the Biling did not continue forward, but stopped in the open sea and watched the fleet pass guò, and I did not want any accidents to happen. After the fleet is basically cleared, there is only the Noah that is dragging behind, this big guy occupies almost half of the strait, plus it has no power of its own, and it is always shaking on both sides when it is blown by the wind, and there is no way to stabilize it.
The fleet had to reduce its speed to a speed like a snail, and most of the battleships were assigned to tow on both sides, controlling their direction separately to prevent it from tilting to one side! It was originally full of good flowers, but Noah had already passed Guò for a third of the way, when a strong wind suddenly blew on the sea, and King Chuang shouted at that time: "Not good! ”
The north wind blew the battleship to the south of the strait, and the distance between Noah and the cliff on the coast was only more than 500 meters, which was enough for ordinary warships to turn around, but for Noah, this distance was completely uncontrollable! Everyone, including the British, watched as Noah crashed into the cliff to the south. The British, who was on the cliff, jumped out of the turret in fright, turned around and ran backwards!
Rumble! Chirping......! A dull crash was followed by the screech of metal rubbing against the rock, and the eerie sound of metal twisting and the sound of waves being squeezed out of the rock and the sound of the rock shattering all together to form a shocking sound. Noah himself was not injured by the impact, its shell was more than 20 meters thick, and the rock couldn't handle such a thick metal! But the British battery on the south bank suffered, and the cliffs beneath the battery were to be exact. Because the cliff where this fort is located is actually a piece protruding from the inland, the support is not very strong, of course, this is only for Noah, and the average battleship will not have much impact on the rock even if it crashes itself! But Noah is different, it's too big and too thick! The impact almost cut off half of the cliff from the land, and the entire section of the cliff sticking out of the inland was more than a hundred meters long, and the falling rocks piled up a slope here!
This sudden event overwhelmed everyone! What I'm worried about is the attitude of the British, who were already very tolerant without fighting us, and we actually dismantled half of the proud forts! Originally, the forts on the north and south banks were relatively echoing, but now there is only the one on the north bank, and there are not only forts on the south bank, but even the cliffs are gone!
Rose held her mouth open for a long time before she said: "It's good that it's not the south wind!" ”
"Huh?" I didn't react for a moment!
Su Mei said: "Sister Rose means that if the south wind blows, not only will the forts on the north shore be finished, but the imperial fleet will probably have to build a lot of warships!" ”
That's right! Noah was so big, if he suddenly rushed to the north shore, the battleship parked there would definitely not have time to run. Now that Noah has even cut off the cliffs, those battleships will be crushed into discus! But even cutting off only one hill is no joke, and the British should not give up!
Sure enough, the battleship that guided us just now drove over, and the British came to settle accounts with me! The envoy ship slowly approached, and Baha stood on the opposite ship with a strange expression on his face!
"Mr. Purple Sun, I think you have to do something!" Baja didn't have any nonsense, just pointed to the cliff and started asking for money!
"You know, this is a natural disaster, caused by force majeure, and it stands to reason that even the insurance company will not pay for it!" Although my words are tactful, they have made the attitude clear!
Baha seemed a little angry, and he gestured to the flag-bearer, who began to turn around and wave the flag, and the British battleship in Gibraltar immediately sailed over.
As soon as I saw that the situation was not right, I quickly calmed the mood. "To be honest, I'm sorry, but you know, it's impossible for us to go out with so much money, and it's impossible for you to ask us for compensation!"
Baha glanced at Noah, and I didn't wait for him to speak, and said, "You are a man who understands, don't say anything impossible!" ”
"Hahahaha!" Baha glanced greedily at Noah again, then turned his gaze back! "Don't load it, I know the ship is empty, there's nothing on it! It took more than 300 million pounds to build our battery, and you won't lose 300 million in exchange for an empty shell! ”
I was blinded at the time, and Baha knew that the ship was fake? But how do you know? He has spies? Impossible! There are only a few of us on the ship except for NPCs!
Probably seeing my doubts, Baha said: "Don't be surprised, I am the designer of the battleship myself, this ship is obviously unfinished, don't think that you can lie to me by putting a few people!" ”
It turns out that this kid is a designer, no wonder we can't fool him, we actually hit the muzzle!
"The big ship, plus you." The Baha'i Lion opens his mouth! "Leave both ships, you can leave, we are still friends!"
, friend? Ghosts have friends like you! "Well, that's not good!"
"Fuck your turtle bastard, just beat it, I'm not afraid of you yellow-haired ghosts!" The cauldron jumped up from behind, and at the same time something flew past me and flew directly at Baja's head!
Bang Dang! A round iron ball slammed into Bach's head, instantly smashing him into four corners. What the big pot of rice threw out was a cannonball, which was stuck on the side of the boat when the Indonesians shelled us last time, and then it was dug up and not thrown away, and it was intended to be kept as a souvenir! The shells used by the Indonesian warships were all solid iron balls, which hit Baha's head directly, how powerful do you say?
"You...... You ......" Baha was helped up by the man next to him with his head in one hand, his face was covered in blood, it was really spectacular! "You want to fight, don't you? Good! I just ran to ......" and a man came to Baha's ear and said something, interrupting Baha's words!
I was ruthless in the back and patted me on the shoulder to turn back. "What's the matter?"
He pointed to the other side of the sea. As soon as I turned around, I saw a fleet, a very large fleet. Although I am almost certain that this fleet is no match for the Imperial fleet, I believe that the fleet plus we should be able to fight a draw with the British!
"Who is that?" In case it is a British reinforcement, it will be miserable!
Shura Ziyi walked up and said, "Look at the flag!" ”
I immediately opened my pupils and looked at the flag of the battleship over there, and the tall mainmast was fluttering with a striking white crusade flag on a black background. "Germans?" It can't be Ashuford sending someone to pick us up, right?
Baha on the other side also finished talking to his subordinates, and he shouted at me, "You remember that our business is not over!" Without waiting for me to reply, I was helped into the cabin by my subordinates. The envoy ship also immediately turned around and returned to the fleet, and the Imperial fleet retreated to the strait to maintain combat vigilance!
The German fleet on the opposite side did not sail over, but stopped at the open sea, and the standard-bearer reported: "They said that it was the Seawolf fleet belonging to the German Iron Cross, and asked us if we were a fleet from China!" ”
"Answer yes!"
Again, the standard-bearer reported: "They want us to get over there!" ”
"Sue them, we'll go right over!" Turning to the first mate, he said, "Order the fleet to quickly leave the strait and join the German fleet!" ”
I don't even know how to describe my love now, if it weren't for the fear of being mistaken for gay, I would have wanted to rush over and kiss Ashford!
The fleet quickly pulled Noah out, and then quickly approached the German fleet. The British have been staring at us from behind, but they just don't dare to do it, and they know that they will fight with us!
After the two fleets approached, a large warship in the Seawolf fleet took the initiative to approach. Several people jumped from the battleship onto the Biling. There were 5 people here, and only one of them knew me, which was Messer, and the other four were all followers at a glance!
"Hello! President Purple Sun! "Messer took the initiative to shake my hand.
"Hello! I'm so thrilled to see you, if you're a little later we'll have a fight with the British! ”
"I know!" Messer's words startled me. "The President had already guessed that something was going to happen to you in Gibraltar, so he sent us to pick you up! Actually, I set off as soon as our meeting was over that day, and if it hadn't been for a fight with the French on the way, I would have arrived a long time ago! ”
"Didn't President Aschoford come?"
"There's a lot going on in the meeting, so I'm the only one here. But the president will pick you up when you get to Hong Kong! ”
"By the way, do you have steel cables?"
"Yes, yes, what do you want a steel cable for?"
"It's not the back thing yet!" I pointed at Noah. "I accidentally hit the cliff in Gibraltar just now, and I broke the tow rope a lot!"
"Why is this here with you?" Messer was not as surprised as others.
"You've seen it?"
She shook her head. "When an NPC asked us for 3 billion crystal coins, he said he could build us a super battleship, but we didn't do it and coaxed him away as a madman. Later I heard that he went to the pirate and had already completed a sample. How did it get into your hands? ”
"We wiped out those pirates on the way here, and we got this thing and that designer back!"
"Do you really believe it?"
"What for?"
"Forget it! I can't tell you the specifics, I'll introduce you to someone who knows how to go back! ”
After mixing with the German fleet, we quickly left this area, because the lineup of the two fleets was quite terrifying, and there was an artificial island in the middle, so there was no interception along the way. The French fleet ran out, apparently looking for compensation from the German fleet, but left after a few laps around us!
At 10 o'clock in the morning on the 19th Beijing time, we finally arrived at the coast of Germany, and it was still dark here, and the moon was still hanging obliquely in the sky! It's still early in the morning in Germany, when the number of people online is at its lowest. Ashford had been informed by Merset when we arrived, so the Iron Cross city had prepared in advance. In the dim morning light, a brightly lit harbor appeared on the shore in front of us.
"This is the port of Dorut!" "It's not a port! The real city is behind it, but it's closer to the city of Dorut, so we call it Port Dorut. The harbor was originally a natural depression, but we enlarged and leveled the shore, and later built things like docks, and finally it was what it is! In terms of area, this is probably the largest port in the world! ”
I shook my head: "My city has a port bigger than yours!" ”
"Impossible, right?"
"Really! But we're in the inner harbor, and the entrance is narrow, not as wide as yours! ”
The fleet is getting closer and closer to the coast, Ayana was sent into the sea by me to check the depth of the water, who knows how deep it is here, Noah's kind of monster, can't get close to the coast at all! In the end, Noah anchored in the sea three kilometers away from the harbor, and in order to secure it, we even left dozens of boats to tow it, this guy didn't even have an anchor chain, no matter how sure it would have washed ashore! That's it, we all set aside a safe distance in advance, and as long as it doesn't rush two kilometers beyond the coastline, this line won't run aground!
The brigade drove into the port, and from afar I saw a neat infantry phalanx standing on the shore, and the front one was really Ashford, this guy's equipment was a little strange, I don't know what kind of profession it was, although he was wearing heavy armor, but he didn't have any weapons in his hand, probably because it wasn't a battle, so he didn't take it out!
The Biling slowly came to a halt in the harbor, and as soon as the spiral ladder was lowered, I was the first to go down. Before getting off the boat, I put away all the magic pets, leaving only four humanoid pets and Night Shadow, White Wave, Phantom and Xiaofeng, it is not convenient to bring too many magic pets! In addition, I have stayed with the Demon Knights, and they can still be of great use at critical moments!
"Finally seeing you!" Ashford walked over and shook my hand politely.
The two of us introduced the main people we brought with us, and it was better that there were not many people on my side, but there were a lot of veterans, captains, directors and the like on his side, and I only remembered a few main people!
After the introduction, he followed Ashuford into the city of Dorut behind, I thought he was going to take us to the Council Palace, but I didn't expect to enter the Teleportation Hall! After listening to Ashuford's explanation, I learned that Dorut was not the main city of the Iron Cross at all, and the Iron Cross Army had nine cities, the largest of which was called Iron Fort, which is said to be rich in metal ore, so it got its name!
After entering the Iron Castle, I have learned what the style is! The urban design of the Iron Castle is so stylish! The whole city is like a factory, full of metal smelting and processing plants, and almost all the shops are related to metal processing! What a scary technical style!
In fact, although the Iron Castle is like a factory, it is not chaotic, on the contrary, it is quite neat, to be precise, it should be called neat! The whole city exudes an industrial feel, all the lines are straight, and all the buildings and objects are angular! Germans have combined their passion for technology and their love of discipline into their lives, even in the cities! From the outside, the shops in the city are exactly the same, except for the different signs! If you don't know, some people believe that this is a military camp!
Following Asford through the pick-up, I felt like the city of the Iron Castle was like a city of artisans. Although it doesn't have as many dwarves as China's artisan city, it is far more industrialized than the artisan city!
Ah Xiuford suddenly pointed to a tall building next to him and said, "This is our Magic Crystal Power Research Institute!" Floating technology was developed here! ”
"Oh?" I couldn't help but take a few more glances at this ordinary-looking building. "Can I take a tour?"
"Yes, yes, but not now! Let's go and close the deal first! ”
"It's good!"
After coming to the council hall, I realized that there is really a big difference between the Eastern and Western cultures. Our council hall is in the main hall, which is very similar to the emperor's hall in the past, the difference is that there are two rows of chairs facing each other on both sides, and people who come to discuss can sit on them and talk, and the middle of the room is empty! But the Iron Cross's council hall is a different story entirely, the design is closer to a modern business conference room, with an extra-long table in the middle of the room and a circle of chairs around it. When discussing things, the chairman sits at the head of the table, and the other people sit on both sides, and when negotiating, one side sits on one side as we do now!
We've got this stuff from the NPCs a long time ago, and it's been kept in the captain's room of the Biling, and of course Isinger has a backup! I took the scroll down when I got off the ship, and now I take it out and put it on the table.
On the other side, Ashford also took out three scrolls from his arms, and each of them was much bigger than mine, so I guess there are more things to record in the aircraft!
We pushed the scrolls to each other and unfolded them. To be honest, I don't understand this thing at all, it's full of magic array patterns and some messy structural diagrams. But I brought Luzzo here, this kid specializes in these things, and as an NPC designer, he can understand these things!
Luzo opened all three scrolls and looked at them carefully, then nodded at me. "Flying powerplant, indeed!"
I took the scroll back and pushed it back to Ashford, who also read our scroll and returned it. Items between players in different guilds cannot be given directly without being traded, we just inspected each other. Now open the trade bar, he put the three scrolls on it, I put my scroll, click agree to the trade and then swap the items, the trade is ok!
Asford stood up and shook my hand: "Okay, now I can take you to the research institute!" ”
I quickly stood up and followed, the research institute represents technology! Maybe you can find some good technology and buy it back by the way!
