Francis clung to the railing and prayed to God.

He swore that although he peeked at Mingguo's, read Mingguo's magazines, listened to Mingguo's radio, and although Mingguo's culture had merits, he had always been a devout Christian.

It seemed that God really heard his prayers, and when the giant ship of the Ming Kingdom sailed into the classic range of two kilometers, it suddenly raised its muzzle at a forty-five degree angle to the sky and stopped the action of shelling.

Francis turned around and embraced his comrade-in-arms Thomson, who came from the parish of St. Giles, or rather the slum of St. Giles, like himself.

They grew up on the streets and joined the army in order to survive.

And then fortunately, little by little, the blood of the colonists and the heads of other comrades-in-arms were exchanged for today's status - a junior officer in the army.

It can be said that everything today is not easy to come by.

"Oh, thank God, it was God's will that made these bloodthirsty infidels stop attacking!"

"They must know that if they sink this troop carrier carrying 4,700 men, they will be fighting the Empire to the death!"

"That's right, they have no reason to fight for the Germans!"

"We are safe, even if the Ming people have modern weapons, they are cowardly Chinese like the Qing State in the end!"

Just as the two of them were about to take off their underwear and make a simple white flag to avoid being accidentally injured when Akito was taken prisoner, Francis felt that the hull under his feet seemed to be lifted up in an instant.

A white wave from the bottom of the sea rose against the ship's side, and before Francis could grasp the railing, he heard a crisp cracking of metal in the distance.

I saw a frigate in front of the left, the deck breaking in the middle.

"Oh my God! It's a torpedo! We were torpedoed! ”

No one knows why the Ming were able to hit the target with a torpedo at a distance of almost two kilometers.

But with such a quiet attack, as well as amazing destructive power, there is no doubt that the breakage of the corvette is a masterpiece of torpedoes.

The soldiers on the "Good Man Winston" could clearly see that the keel of the frigate was broken and cocked, and the hull that was broken in two was sinking rapidly.

"Damn, Akito doesn't intend to let us go, they're just experimenting with new weapons!" Francis turned his head in despair, only to find that Thomson was gone.

"Help me, Francis!" Thomson shouted frantically, and most of his body had fallen off the deck.

The huge waves caused by the frigate's hit swept him off the ship.

"Pull the brothers, we've had Spanish sores together in Malay, we've played goats together in Afghanistan, we're best friends! I also lent you fifteen pounds and seven pence! ”

Thomson tried his best to reach out a hand to grab the old fellow's ankle, hoping to be pulled up.

However, what awaited him was an iron fist in the face.

Looking at the old fellow who fell into the waves, Francis clapped his hands and said softly, "Now, my debt has been paid off." ”

In the wheelhouse of the "Good Man Winston", the commander of the 23rd Infantry Regiment, Dwight David, turned pale.

At present, the establishment of the British Army is being transformed from regiments to divisions.

A formation like the 23 Infantry Regiment was not a "regiment" in the true sense of the word, but a corps similar to Robert Lee's Northern Virginia Regiment and was numerous.

The 23rd Infantry Regiment is a long-standing regiment formed in 1800 and fought in two Napoleonic wars.

Because the mascot is a goat, it is also known as the "Royal Goat" infantry regiment.

This is one of the few regiments in the British Army that is named "Royal", and it has always been a source of pride for them.

But today, Dwight realizes that he is afraid that he will be martyred in this blue sea.

"General, the flag we raised asking for surrender has not received any reply......"

Dwight closed his eyes in despair.

After a long time, he suddenly ordered, "For the sake of the Queen, I order, 'Good Man Winston' to crash into the enemy ship at full speed at once!" ”

"Oh shit, do you know what you're talking about?"

The captain of the "Good Man Winston" said angrily, "I am a lieutenant commander of the Royal Navy, there is no need to obey you, a commodore of the army!" ”

"But you're going to have to do what you want!"

Dwight took out his rifle and pressed it against the captain's temple, "The 'Good Man Winston' has 23,000 tons, while the Akito's warship is only more than 10,000 tons!" 20,000 against 10,000, the advantage is mine! Hit me! ”

Francis had just finished dealing with his debts when he was horrified to find that the cruise ship had actually accelerated.

This is not the direction of escape, this is ......

Because high-power tweeters belong to export products with "great military strategic value", except for a small number of allies of the Ming Dynasty, Britain, France and other countries have very few tweeters from the black market.

Of course, there was no one on the "Good Man Winston".

Therefore, in today's chaotic situation, military orders can no longer be well conveyed to the soldier level.

The army itself lacks training to fight on the water.

After guessing the intentions of the commanders, the army soldiers spun around like headless flies.

The few naval soldiers immediately went to grab the ship's lifeboats.

However, the lifeboats had been destroyed by Commodore Dwight's orders

It's useless if you don't destroy it, the Akito's speedboat is swimming outside, and if you get on a small boat, it means that you will be captured alive.

Judging from the ferocity that the Ming people are showing now, it is self-evident what it means to be captured alive.

After the "Good Guy Winston", I am afraid there will be another "Good Guy Dwight".

Instead of being tortured by the barbaric Orientals, it is better to bloom to the last splendor for the glory of the British Empire!

Dwight put away his binoculars and waited quietly for fate to do.

Unexpectedly, even though the "Good Man Winston" had put on an obvious posture of breaking the net, the giant ship of the Akito still did not make a move.

Even it did not lay down the cannons, or fired torpedoes.

Eight hundred meters.

Five hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

200 meters......

The distance between the two behemoths is getting closer and closer.

The air was so heavy that Brigadier General Dwight, once known as the king of Afghan goats, was so nervous that he could barely breathe.

Finally, there was no distance between the two ships.

Dwight could even see clearly that in the command tower of this giant ship of the Ming Kingdom, the elegant commander of the Ming Kingdom was holding coffee.

He was tall and not very old, but he was already showing signs of baldness.

Dwight rubbed his eyes.

He seemed to see that the Oriental man actually raised his coffee cup to him, and a smile appeared on his face.

There was not a trace of nervousness on his face, let alone fear.

That kind of smile, eerie and hairy to explode.

At this moment, Dwight regretted his recklessness a little, and he was a little glad that he was decisive.

"Giant cannon? Torpedo? ”

Morishita put the coffee on the table, put on white gloves, lightly buckled the general's hat, and sighed lightly, "Our ship was ordered to hit your ship, this is the strongest weapon of the Shenzhou-class heavy battleship......"

"Boom!"

In the midst of the loud noise, the Bei Yinzhou shook violently, and it resumed its smooth navigation after nearly half a minute.

Raise the coffee cup, and most of the coffee inside has been spilled.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a good Haitian coffee!"

Morishita shook his head and drank the rest of his coffee.
