Chapter 2274: Pirates in action
Latest website: He put down his binoculars, deeply sorry!
Count Don Edmilson is a sensible man. Living in the city of Barcelona, he saw the Chinese from scratch. From the initial merchant ship to the cruise ship, he knew that there must be a battle between China and Europe, and Barcelona will bear the brunt!
The reason is simple, this city is too rich!
Now that he has the money, the earl took precautions and secretly ordered twelve cannons with a caliber of up to eight inches, capable of firing 68-pound shells.
68 pounds of shells!
At present, the largest naval guns of various countries are no more than 42-pound artillery, such as the 32-pound artillery commonly used by the South China Navy.
The South China Navy is not incapable of larger-caliber artillery, but in order to increase the rate of fire and the space and tonnage restrictions on warships, the imperial emperor, who has always boasted that his artillery is thicker, larger and harder than others, can’t think twice. There is no need to return a 32-pounder gun.
Earl Don Edmilson knew the Chinese people’s Quake. He was not so capable of equipping the horrible Quake, so he secretly equipped a 68-pound cannon and wanted to deal with the Chinese.
In order to deceive people's eyes, these heavy guns are marked as 42-pound cannons, which are true and false.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese had retreated before they showed their full power!
Not only retreat, but also ran away!
Their battleships turned around and left the Barcelona harbour.
Just now after the second team retreated, they hurriedly checked and found that the hole in the shot was particularly large, and then they found a big cannonball.
So Siresma judged that the Spaniards were equipped with large-caliber artillery on the coastal battery.
"Uh! I can't afford to provoke us, but we can hide!" Siresma immediately ordered: "Retreat, go to another place to grab...fight again!"
The empire has already issued command to the front-line commanders, and Siresma will not be stupid enough to face the opponent. Anyway, as the starting vanguard, there are so many places he can grab, go!
The city of Badalona, which belongs to the same surname as Barcelona, is located in the northeast of Barcelona, less than twenty miles away, but it was bad luck and was attacked by Siresma and looted the city!
The Siresma fleet rushed to the city of Badalona. Although the city was protected by turrets, it was in poor condition. It was actually an open-air artillery fort, that is, a low parapet was built, and the artillery lined up in sequence, unlike Barcelona’s. The coastal battery is a three-dimensional line of defense, with multiple layers of artillery.
, And there are bunkers with cannons in them. Such cannons are protected. Even if it is not economical, there are also open-air independent artillery positions, so that they won’t be hit by a bullet.
What's more unusable is that Badalona's artillery has a maximum caliber of only 24 pounds, and not any city is ready to fight like Barcelona.
The sound of the artillery sounded weak, and Siresma beat them hard, using the battleship’s naval gun to destroy the opponent’s coastal fort, and the artillery went dumb.
Then the Marines landed and attacked the city of Badalona! mouth
The city of Badalona had only five hundred soldiers, and they fought bravely and in vain in order to defend their homeland.
The South China Marine Corps who rushed ashore had 2,000 men and were well equipped (in the South China Army, it was actually a third-class equipment, but it was more than enough to bully the country’s armed forces), and Siresma personally led the team, with super morale. Burn!
Of course, the robbery is such a good thing, how can you not lead the team yourself!
The great lads of the Marine Corps were as fierce as little tigers. They beat the white skins to death. The long legs ran away, and all the short ones were killed!
Siresma didn't even need to move a little finger, and the enemy looked invincible, like a black warrior in the Star Wars, he coolly moved forward and rushed into the city of Badalona.
Seeing Siresma, who was like a devil among the pagans, the white skin in the city was so scared that he couldn't even resist, and he knelt down immediately.
Siresma successfully wiped out the city and got a total of 350,000 silver dollars, thousands of flower girls!
Then his fleet sailed all the way along the northeastern coast of Spain and ransacked all the six larger towns along the coast. Within five days, he snatched one million silver dollars worth of property and more than five thousand flower girls, and arranged accompanying transportation. Take the fleet away.
With limited capacity, he only grabbed property and flower girls, and did not arrest white-skinned men as slaves.
The news of his ravages on the coast of Spain reached Valencia, where the Spanish Mediterranean Fleet was stationed, and Admiral Don Garez Bell, the commander, was in trouble.
This admiral is a bald man. He didn't wear a hat and was holding his scalp. He felt that military affairs were tricky.
Valencia is located to the east of the capital of Madrid, facing the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean fleet has 22 battleships, two first-class battleships, two second-class battleships, and eight cutting-edge third-class battleships "Santiago" class battleships. The other ten battleships are miscellaneous.
On the surface, the strength is considerable, but the first and second battleships are slow to move, and cannot catch up with the opponent's third-tier battleship, and their power is beyond mention.
Among the battleships that can catch up with the opponent’s fleet, only eight "Santiago"-class battleships can fight decently. For the remaining ten battleships, if there are first- and second-class battleships dispatched together, it is possible to make up for it, but if it is one-to-one with The third level of the South China Fleet
Battleships are incapable of fighting.
The Spanish fleet has a total of 70 battleships. In addition to the 22 battleships in the Port of Valencia, there are also 12 battleships in the Port of Malaga on the south coast. This is the main force of the Spanish navy in the Mediterranean. The remaining battleships are placed on the north and west coasts. Guard against the Netherlands and Britain
National fleet.
At present, Spain's diplomatic negotiations have been successful, and the main force of its battleships is being transferred to the Mediterranean, but the speed is not fast!
Admiral Don Gareth Bale finally led his 22 battleships into action. As he expected, even if they searched the eastern coast and found the Siresma fleet, Siresma did not fight at all. , Ran straight to Sardinia!
Sardinia is under the jurisdiction of Spain, and its economy is not developed. Siresma searched there and found only less than 100,000 silver dollars.
But the population of more than 50,000 there, mainly more than 40,000 women, were all transported away by the large South China Empire transportation fleet!
If you have no money, then grab someone. Siresma is called a "widowmaker" in Sardinia. In order to **** women, he will not hesitate to shoot and kill a large number of local men---they resisted and tried to prevent him from snatching them. woman.
"hit!"
"Kill them!" In a town, the Marine Corps officer yelled, brandishing his saber.
The Marines fired at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to kill all the Sardinian men in front of them.
Then they escorted the weeping Sardinian woman, with chickens on their guns and sheep, and walked to the transport ship waiting by the sea.
The line of women is very long, and some soldiers are beating slow women with whips.
But there were also "kind" soldiers. One soldier carried a chick who couldn't walk.
A young Marine Corps soldier said to his noncommissioned officer: "We seem to be doing bad things?"
"Hey!" The sergeant who was chewing candy in his mouth spit out the candy: "Don't look at what we do!"
"What's the job?" the soldier asked him stupidly.
The non-commissioned officer told him: "We are just pirates in a coat of officer's skin!"
"Ah!" The young soldier was shocked.
