Chapter 206:
"You lied!" Chris said coquettishly: "I have seen those merchant ships firing guns. They blew up the sampans of the natives who wanted to board their ships and loot them with one shot. You can't see cannonballs with this cannon... isn't that what my father once said to me, salute?"
"Uh--" Zhou Ye was almost suffocated when he didn't come up in one breath. The over-the-horizon strike of the electromagnetic gun on his Umbrella was despised by others. The most terrifying thing was that he was the one who was compared to him. The thirty-two-pounder gun in his eyes is like an antique... what else can he say at this time? Do science for sister paper?
You must know that it is more reliable to do military science for girls than to tell them about fashion trends... At this time, he can only smile...
"What are you laughing at..." Chris bit him in dissatisfaction and said, "That's how men are. When they can't fool themselves, they like to use laughter to cover up, just like my father used to be, but I'm smarter than my mother. More, I saw through my father's cover at a glance."
"Okay, my dear..." Zhou Ye rolled his eyes and mourned for a half-second of silence for his poor father-in-law whom he had never met, and then said, "Then let me show you this guy who is not as good as the thirty-two-pound gun in your mouth. How powerful is this guy..."
After speaking, he clicked a few times on the console, and soon a screen hung down, the light flashed, and the screen lit up. On the screen, the bird's-eye view of Madras Port was displayed in front of the two of them.
Chris was not surprised by such a device. As early as the night when she first got on the ship, someone used such a device to play some kind of science and education movie for her... As a result, she lost a piece of herself that she had kept for more than ten years. Blood.
So later, she developed a strong interest in this magical device, and learned that some of them have been filmed, and some are real-time monitoring. Obviously, the picture that appears in front of her now is real-time monitoring... Because in the picture In the middle, she saw the lucky ship that had been adorned by her own man.
Slowly, she discovered the reason why her man was showing her this real-time monitoring screen. Every time the ship trembled, it was when a fire appeared on the screen. Although the fire was very small on the screen, compare it with The building knows how powerful the power is... The hull trembles slightly and Kris knows that it is because of the launch of electromagnetic cannons...
And his man's huge ship is as far away as there are at least four islands where he lives...
At this time, Kris knew without common sense that she had just made a big fool... to compare this terrible thing with the 32-pound gun... I was afraid to compare everything, compared with the electromagnetic gun, the launcher The ball thing is a piece of junk...
"Alas, this power is indeed not as powerful as a thirty-two-pound artillery gun!!" Zhou Ye looked at Chris's changing expression, and pretended to sigh, "In our place, thirty-two pounds of artillery. Two-pound weapons are not allowed to be equipped with the army, it is really terrible, so we can only replace ourselves with this small electromagnetic gun..."
Zhou Ye felt that what he said was right, even the black uncles in Africa don't use that kind of garbage anymore, so basically that thing is already extinct in the army in his own world.
"...Bad guy~" Chris was so ashamed that she couldn't help herself. As soon as she turned around and opened her mouth, she bit Zhou Ye's neck, making the bad guy laugh at her.
Zhou Ye laughed and got into a fight with Chris and the two of them. Before they knew it, the two of them wore less and less clothes... and the glass on the observation window of the command room automatically turned opaque black... ...It didn't take long for Chrissy to happily sing the folk songs of their island...
The singing, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes tactful, sometimes high, sometimes intense, sometimes softly chanted... After this song was sung, more than two hours had passed, and the shelling of Madras Port had stopped. The whole port has been turned into ruins...
Chapter 280
Five days later ——————
early morning ——————
Thick fog shrouded the entire Sager Archipelago... On the west side of the archipelago are two main islands sandwiching a seaway that is only more than 500 meters wide... Sagar means twins in the local language.
The Saggar Islands are an archipelago consisting of two main islands and a dozen islands and reefs scattered around them. There are dense reefs between other islands and reefs. Only a not too wide seaway in the middle of the two main islands can pass. ...
On both sides of the seaway, the cliffs on the edge of the island are straight and smooth, with a height of tens of meters... On both sides of the exit of the seaway, under the cover of huge islands, the East India fleet is hidden here, and then Under the cover of the islands and reefs and the thick fog, about seventy or eighty warships, large and small, lined up on both sides in an orderly manner, aiming the gun muzzle on the side of the ship at the center of the seaway...
On the largest flagship behind, the Goddess of Victory. The East India Company's Indian Fleet Commander, Jack Aubrey, was staring nervously at the sea pass with extremely low visibility, and from time to time he looked at the pocket watch in his hand.
"Are you sure that the appointed time is this time? Mr. Henry!" Jack O'Brien asked a little uneasy, turning his head to look at a young man.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I'm sure it's this time!" It was Henry, the second mate on the Luck who had reported to Jack Aubrey before landing in the boat.
"Okay, maybe they delayed some time..." Jack Aubrey was a little anxious, because when the sun rose, the thick fog on the sea would be dissipated, and this favorable weather situation would no longer be there. .
If it wasn't for Charlie's letter saying that it was the warship that attacked his port, Jack Aubrey, no matter how good his relationship was, would not have dared to lead the fleet here to intercept the warship, although he used the excuse of These battleships hadn't seen a major battle for too long, so they came out for a drill.
To be honest, although Jack Aubrey had seen the wrecked port, he had doubts about the combat power of the battleship that Henry described as a devil. facts.
Just as a fleet commander, it is what Jack Aubrey could ask for, allowing the fleet under his command to conduct an actual combat exercise through a target that is not too dangerous.
Now it seems that you are going to be late for your exercise goal?
Just as Jack Aubrey waited anxiously, the shadow of the Lucky ship appeared at the exit of the waterway. What did not disappoint Jack Aubrey was that the thick fog had not dissipated at this time, and the sky was on his side...
"Order all ships to prepare for battle!" Jack Aubrey said to his messenger.
"Yes!" As the orders were passed through the fleet through lights, and with the rush of battle drums unique to battleships, all the battleships were ready for battle.
The artillerymen stuffed the ammunition into the gun barrels, and the soldiers on the deck who were ready to pick up the ship would wrap the ropes with iron hooks in circles, only to jump on the ship to pick up the ship once the ship lost its ability to resist. Fight, so that you can capture this devil battleship that is madly spread in the mouths of those cowards.
Now the sailors and captains on the Luck have become synonymous with cowards, and they were chased by a warship for thousands of nautical miles...
These naturally bold and daring soldiers wanted to use this warship to humiliate the nobles on the lucky ship. It is said that there is a baron on the lucky ship. How interesting would it be to think that the warships that frightened the **** out of the nobles were captured by their own soldiers from civilian backgrounds?
In the thick fog, all the people in the fleet are doing preparations nervously and orderly. Except for the occasional bump, you can't hear a single voice at all.
Now on the other side of the sea, on the battleship Umbrella————
Zhou Ye was waiting for the underwater robot sent out to report the data on the seabed. He knew that someone was waiting to ambush him on the other side of the sea.
You must know that such a large fleet can't be concealed from Umbrella's satellites in space... But for those wooden first-class battleships that claim to have more than 100 artillery pieces on three decks, Zhou Ye disdains them, isn't it? To brag, with the armor of the Umbrella, even if they stood there still, they would not be damaged by shelling them for three days and three nights.
The only thing that worries Zhou Ye is the water depth of this seaway. You must know that the Umbrella has a draught of eleven meters. If the water depth in the seaway is not enough, the Umbrella will run aground...
Zhou Ye could actually drag this battleship out by himself, but the problem is, it's too embarrassing, isn't it? When he bullied the natives in the naval battle, he was not defeated by the natives, but he was carelessly stranded here, saying that Zhou Ye was afraid that he would be laughed at by the women of the harem to death...
That's why Zhou Ye sent an underwater robot to use sonar to detect the depth of the water... It's time to save the embarrassment.
Soon, the good news came.
"Master, the robot reports, the water channel is deep enough for the Umbrella to pass..." The ship's mother, Yamato Nadeko, reported through Zhou Ye's personal terminal.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Zhou Ye showed a bloodthirsty smile on his face. It was time to break the peace of so many days. It was time to teach those natives how to behave. Especially the indigenous people who have bullied their own country in history.
"I order that the battleship Umbrella is fully prepared for battle!" Zhou Ye said loudly.
"Yes, Your Excellency Supreme Commander!" Yamato Nadeshiko also changed the title of Zhou Ye for fun.
With an order, along with a buzzing sound of electric current, the armor plates rose from the hidden places on the deck, and a dense clack of metal collisions could be heard incessantly.
In less than ten minutes, the entire battleship Umbrella completed its major transformation, turning into a polyhedral ship-shaped monster. All weak places were covered by armor plates, and only the anti-aircraft electromagnetic gun muzzle was left outside. With twelve main gun barrels...
Looking around, the entire battleship Umbrella turned into a monster covered in hedgehogs.
"Let's move forward at full speed..." Zhou Ye ordered in the command room, which did not feel dim at all, "Go and experience the pride of the empire where the sun never sets in this era!"
"Master, they are at most mercenaries... They are far from being called the Royal Navy of the Empire where the sun never sets!" An Doudou began to die again...
"..." Zhou Ye glanced at the **** who complained about himself, and said with a smile, "Well, I don't think if it's just a mercenary, it's really not worth my effort, why don't I send you alone to beat them up? How? I believe in you, you can definitely…”
"Master, I was wrong..." An Doutou fell to the ground in a fierce tiger pose, lying on all fours on the ground, and said pitifully: "Master, please forgive me, I beg you not to fight alone... Fight, but your subordinates can fight. Passing them, but it is very tiring to fight more than 70 warships alone..."
"Then do you still think they are mercenaries?" Zhou Ye asked with a half-smiling smile.
"How could it be a mercenary!" An Doudou said righteously: "This must be a conspiracy of the empire on which the sun never sets. They deliberately keep soldiers outside, which is similar to the temporary workers in my food-loving country. I believe that the wise and The great master must have seen through their tricks at a glance, that's why he said that!"
"Uh--!" Zhou Ye was disgusted by An Dou's shameless success, but to be honest, among so many soldiers, only this mutant is interesting. Zhou Ye didn't want to kill him, so no one made fun of him. now...
"Go ahead at full speed!" Zhou Ye waved his hand, ignoring the teasing An Doudou.
"Yes, Your Excellency Supreme Commander!" As Yamato Nadeshiko's voice sounded, the battleship Umbrella pushed away the waves and headed towards the other side of the waterway...
