Drake's plan makes George, Wu Sangui, and Kui Yi's scalp tingle. But it can't be helped, he is the commander of the Royal Navy of the British Empire.

The only way to turn around is that Drake's pirate background doesn't work. Talking about his grand plans, Drake left the office satisfied. There were only three people left in the office: Wu Sangui, George, and Yu Yi.

"Let him go!" Wu Sangui thought for a long time and held back such a sentence.

"Wu! These are six ironclad ships, and there are more than 1,000 officers and men on them. We all know the strength of the Ming Navy, if it really starts, it will be ......! George was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, Drake went crazy, and Wu Sangui actually went crazy too.

"Just let him go! Let this old thing see the power of the Ming Navy, sink a few ships, sink a few. In the future, let's work overtime to build some more, and give up a few ships in exchange for absolute dominance over India in the future, this business is cost-effective. Wu Sangui said compassionately.

George was taken aback, and Wu Sangui's hand was too ruthless.

As a British colony, India was responsible for supplying the British mainland every year. The main thing is the variety of precious metals and, of course, the various gemstones of Sri Lanka.

But in recent years, in order to expand the army, George and Wu Sangui did not supply supplies to the British mainland, but reached out to the mainland and asked many professors to help study the technology stolen from the Ming Dynasty.

Even the East India Company had not paid dividends to its shareholders for two years.

All this caused dissatisfaction among the local nobles. Drake is just a concrete manifestation of these grievances! The British upper echelons wanted to end the war against the Ming as soon as possible, and of course it was the end of victory.

Those people in the local area believe that with the ironclad ship as a weapon of war, the Ming people will not be a problem. The British magnates believed that they would get more out of plundering this ancient empire than the Spaniards would get in the Americas. The civilization of the Incas was far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty.

"I thought that there were a few ironclad ships that could run rampant in the world, so this time let this old thing see the ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty. Leave this matter alone, and prepare everything he needs according to his requirements. When we go to sea, none of us follow.

Those who are close to them will also be drawn out of the ship. Hum! I want to see how the old guy died.

This old fellow is finished, and Her Majesty will not make any more irresponsible remarks. The rights of the whole of India will also be firmly in our hands. George! You will be at the forefront of the resistance to the tyranny of the Dragon Kingdom in the far east. You'll be a hero! A hero adored by the whole British! Wu Sangui had a sneer on his face, now he wanted the Ming Navy to repair this arrogant old man from London.

George owes the slightest joy of being a hero, and his heart is about to twist into twist. He was eager to write to the Queen and tell her that it was not okay to do so.

But now that the letter is being sent, it will not be possible for the letter to reach the empress in less than half a year. In half a year, the bones of those naval officers and men were fed to the fish.

"Alright! You have the final say, and I'll let people prepare it now. He didn't want to get involved in this, he just wanted to work for a few more years and get a good pension to spend the rest of his life in the UK. In this life, he has tossed enough.

"George! You can't go with the old guy anyway, for your sake and for the future of the British Empire. If you die, India will soon be robbed by the Ming Empire. You know, what it means to the empire to lose India. Wu Sangui solemnly warned George that as the most important partner, if George was finished, he would probably be finished in India.

"Got it!" George replied with just three words, took a sip of the whiskey in his glass, and threw the glass far away.

The two battleships arrived very punctually, just after noon the next day. Two warships appeared outside the port of Mumbai, and the Yorktown and Saxony were the first generation of ironclad ships.

Because of the immaturity of boiler technology, the hull is even larger. The two ships were anchored in the open sea, like two floating islands.

Inside such a huge hull, there are only two boilers as power. The speed of these two ships is not at all the same as that of the new generation of four-boiler ironclads. And when it was built, the 120-mm smoothbore gun was still the main artillery.

With this kind of gun, it is easy to shred those sail warships in the West, but now, guns of this caliber are only rationed for warships to tickle.

Especially in the Ming Navy, because of the application of electricity, soldiers can lift larger shells. Now the caliber of the main guns on the front deck is generally more than two hundred millimeters. This is simply unthinkable in the West.

The warships of other European countries were still sail warships of the Age of Discovery. The hull of the ship was full of dense gun ports, and the two battleships were in an artillery battle at sea, which was not much different from using a flintlock pistol to shoot each other in a good queue.

Even these two first-generation ironclad ships can dominate Europe. Those nobles in London couldn't imagine how powerful the Ming navy was. Wu Sangui and George's battle report, they both think that these two people are lying.

How could the ignorant and barbaric Ming people have such advanced weapons. The arrogant British did not know that these advanced weapons were all blueprints stolen from the Ming Dynasty and handed over to those professors in Cambridge and Oxford for research before they were made.

Of course, stealing the drawings of the Ming Dynasty is also a top secret in the UK, and few people know about it.

Two ironclad ships were majestically anchored off the coast of Mumbai, and small ferries approached to deliver a lot of provisions.

Drake didn't plan to let the two ships dock, they only had to wait one night before they could go on the expedition with four ships. Drake believes that the last time the two armies fought each other, they hurt each other. This time, with two non-destructive ironclad ships, he will surely achieve a brilliant victory. As the pride of the British Navy, Drake was extremely confident in his naval warfare.

In the early morning of the third day, in the darkness of the battleships, the battleships left the port one by one. I could only see the huge and hazy figure of the warship in the darkness. For the sake of secrecy, the warship did not even sound its whistle.

However, when Drake saw the coastline in the telescope in the early morning light after a day and a night of sailing, he also saw a huge thing hovering in the sky. Not only is this thing circling, but it's ...... It seems to be moving.

A behemoth flew near the battleship, flying very slowly but very high. None of the guns on the British battleships could reach this thing!

The huge airship flew for a while, and seeing that it couldn't keep up with the speed of the battleship, it could only reluctantly turn its head and send a light signal to the distant observation station.

Li Xiu was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly woken up. When a person is woken up, he or she generally does not have a good temper. If you dare to wake him up at this time, something big must have happened.

"Six British warships are coming?" Hearing this, Li Xiu's sleepy worm immediately disappeared.

Zhenyuan and Dingyuan were seriously injured and returned to Lushunkou for repairs, and now there are only Zhiyuan, Laiyuan, Jingyuan and Jiyuan in the port. Among them, Laiyuan, Jingyuan, and Jiyuan were all injured and did not have time to repair them. In this place, Xinjiapo does not have the ability to repair ironclad ships at all. In this hellish place, the dry dock can only fit small ships. If you want to fix it, you can't help it!

He had four ships in his hands, but the enemy had six. Where did the damn British get so many ironclads!

"Second master! If we really rely on fighting, I'm afraid that our ships will suffer a loss. The boilers of each ship were all heating up, and Chen Laohu and Li Xiu were sitting in the war room. The second round of airships had already taken off, and they were going to observe the British fleet.

If possible, they also attacked the British with bombs.

Regarding the bombs dropped from the sky, Li Xiu did not report any hope. The first is that the airship is too cumbersome, and the speed is not even as fast as that of a warship. Moreover, it is not as flexible as a warship, at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, the battleship on the ground is as big as a cigarette box, and it is not easy to lose it.

"What if you don't fight? Let people block the inside of the port? Isn't that a death in the end? Your second master can't die so badly! Li Xiu snorted angrily.

"But now we have so many ships in our hands, and a dozen more airships. Forget about the airship, it's okay to look at that thing, it's impossible to blow up a warship. Chen Laohu is also helpless, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and she has these boats in her hand.

"The batteries on the shore were destroyed by the British last time and are not being repaired now. Even if it's repaired, there are no cannons! The previous artillery was blown up when the British fled. Sun Yuanhua spread his hands and said that he couldn't help.

"Usually there is so much, and a turn of the head is a plan. Now let you help figure it out, it's all fucking out of ideas. Li Xiu was a little annoyed and glanced at the two people.

Chen Laohu and Sun Yuanhua immediately looked at their noses and mouths, and looked at their hearts and mouths, and became old monks. Those petty officers, one by one, were even more afraid to speak.

Li Xiu glanced at the clock on the wall, calculating according to the speed of the voyage. In about two hours, the British fleet should have appeared on the surface of Xinjiapo. When the time comes, you can only fight hard.

"Prepare more torpedoes, if you can't do it, you can get close to them and fight them." Chen Laohu roared.

The torpedo exploded underwater, and even an ironclad ship would be devastating. The Prince of Wales was hit by more than 100 rounds and still staggered, but when it hit a torpedo, it immediately braided.

However, the biggest drawback of this thing is that the range is too close. Generally speaking, there is only a distance of three to five hundred meters! To increase your chances of hitting, you must be within 300 meters.

"Hmmm! I can't say that this is the only way to go. Li Xiu nodded, and suddenly he saw a small officer cowering and stretching out his hand.

"If you have something to say, say it." Li Xiu looked at the little officer and said.

"Commander, we can use the airship ......!"

After the junior officer finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room. Everyone looked at this little officer, the airship could still play like this.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Deng Yongchang!"

"Good! You are now the first mate of the Zhiyuan! As soon as Li Xiu spoke, everyone in the conference room was moved.
