Chapter 2468: Magic city magic power
Needless to say, the Spanish proposal was passed, and the large fleet rushed to Egypt!
There is a straight line distance of 1,500 kilometers from the island of Malta to Port Said in Egypt. It takes at least 30 days to travel on land at a speed of 50 kilometers a day, while sailboats are much simpler, with an average speed of 8 kilometers per hour. You can watch the sun during the day and watch at night. The stars sail along the coastline, day and night, up to 8 days.
And there is no need to consider the problem of packing weight. Each ship carries its own supplies and can come and go freely. Shipping in the sailing age is indeed very advantageous!
They sailed along the northern coast of Africa. The first to move was the cruise ship, sweeping everything along the way, detaining, arresting people and plundering all the enemy ships, merchant ships, fishing boats and so on they encountered!
It is a pity that not much was obtained, only three merchant ships and seven fishing boats were caught, all of which were local residents of North Africa, not Chinese, and there was not much oil and water.
When I asked, it turned out that the Chinese had issued the alarm, and all the ships hid and stopped sailing to prevent Baipi from taking advantage of the opportunity.
They continued to sail, and there was a prosperous harbour on the coast in front of them, and there were many ships moored in them, including warships, merchant ships, fishing boats, and many yachts!
Looking through the telescope, the charming girls on the yacht are actually wearing three-point clothes from China, showing their beautiful bodies. In the slave market, they sell for at least one hundred silver dollars or more, which is very profitable!
The small soldiers on the white-skinned battleship spit fire in their eyes, and their saliva flowed until they answered.
They stupidly asked why not attack? As a result, the veteran taught them: "Don't look at which country's flag is hanging!"
The little soldiers looked intently and couldn't help being insane.
Oh, the hard sailing boats from China hung the British flag, those Arabian schooners hung the Spanish flag, it was obvious that the dragon boats of the North African chiefs hung the Dutch flags, they also saw a South China Empire gunboat, hung Is the rare Danish flag.
Yes, yes, the gunboats of the South China Empire are flying the Danish flag, and the people on it are all white skins.
When I asked my colleagues on the Danish battleship, they searched for the information and replied solemnly: "This is a gunboat registered in the Kingdom! It can't be faked!"
The guys have hands and eyes open to the sky, so no matter which country’s naval commanders are, they don’t plan to attack this harbour.
The Magic City Alexander!
Located on the coast of Egypt in North Africa, the South China Empire does not govern it, and the Kingdom of Egypt, which is loyal to the South China Empire, does not care about it. management.
Here, the light of river crab shines brightly, no matter what kind of skin color people can swagger here --- as long as you have money and have the color frame, the gray industry is all-encompassing and can give enough to the board. Profit, therefore, once the goods are shipped here, they can be delivered to all parts of the Mediterranean without paying taxes.
A very "friendly" place, contains infinite wealth, but no one dares to think about it.
The senior navy generals of the white skin countries are very clear that those steadfast patriots in their own countries have shares in all walks of life in Alexandria, and have a large amount of share each year, and the naval generals also have a share.
To move the patriot's cash cow, that is looking for S!
These patriots have powerful forces in the country, deep-rooted, and high-ranking positions. Even the admiral cannot easily touch them. The soldiers in the navy can only drool!
Only lament that the Chinese people are really smart. They charge a tax once when the freight comes through the Suez Canal, so they don’t suffer at all (if they don’t pay the tax, they won’t be able to cross the canal). Then the goods arrive in Alexandria and are sold to Baipi. The ship was filled with porcelain, silk that was forbidden to be imported, tobacco and rum that were forgotten to be stamped by the state taxation bureaus, etc. The captain wants to get all these goods duty-free to Sicily and transport them to the coast of Corsica, and then some speculators will transfer the goods to Italy, France and Spain.
Generally, Baipi is transported by itself, or the Chinese are delivered to the door, but the Chinese do not participate in the terminal sales. As a result, they have formed a community of interests with Baipi, and a large number of "comrades" in Baipi are sold by China. People buy, such as the British. They have been buying Chinese cane sugar at a low price and then selling it at a high price, making huge profits.
There have been three great battles in the Mediterranean between the East and the West. The British were absent from the first two. They said they were not prepared for the civil strife. In fact, the British comprador forces prevented the fleet from dispatching. As a result of the cooperation of foreign forces, the battleship was finally launched!
The White Fleet is advancing all the way, entering the sea outside Port Said!
This port is the Mediterranean estuary of the Suez Canal. The name is peculiar. It was appointed by the emperor and said Port Said. Well, he is the emperor. It is Port Said. The ministers acted as the business was too good to block the port.
When sailing to the port at night and taking a short break, many people cannot sleep with the dream of getting rich.
Early the next morning, they had no choice but to sail towards Port Said to make a fortune. As a result, everyone's eyes widened.
In order to protect the Suez Canal, the South China Empire made a very stable defense.
This harbour is divided into east and west zones. Suez is in the middle, and the eastern zone is located below the western zone. There are many piers along the coast of the east and west zones. A large number of warehouses, tracks, and artillery have been built on the shore!
The South China Empire deployed two "Thor's Hammer" and three H210N1663 heavy artillery in the east area of Port Said, and deployed four "Thor's Hammer" and nine H210N1663 heavy artillery in the west area, which is frantic!
In addition, various artillery and musketeers were deployed, and three thick iron chains were used to block the Suez Canal so that ships could not enter.
The muzzle of the black hole pointed at the ocean, and Bai Pi was mad in his heart. How could this battle be fought?
Since the battle, for the "Thor's Hammer" and H210N1663 heavy artillery, Baipi has summarized and concluded, "Don't be afraid of Thor's roar, only 210 cannons!"
Although "Thor’s Hammer" is a shot into the soul~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it is super heavy and can’t be moved lightly after setting it down. As long as you don’t get to their muzzle or point quickly through its muzzle, then Thor couldn't roar either.
Or after it roars, everyone can act with confidence, because "Thor’s Hammer" reloads slowly, it takes an average of an hour to shoot. This is still the first five or six hours. If it continues, it may take two hours to fight. One shot.
It was impatient with its low rate of fire that the South China Empire developed the H210N1663 heavy artillery. This breech-loaded heavy artillery has a long range, fast rate of fire and flexible pointing. Although it is not as powerful as the "Thor’s Hammer", it is far more powerful than other artillery. Above, let Bai Pi be frightened by the wind.
It can be seen that firearms cannot always be thicker, bigger and harder, just suitable.
Admiral Lierva Don Chatenefer Jr. hated it: "I didn't see that the Chinese had so many heavy artillery when I sent people to reconnaissance before!"
He struggled to swim towards the small boat towed behind the merchant ship. On this small boat, he witnessed the scene where the remaining six merchant ships were ruthlessly destroyed by heavy artillery, and the other four merchant ships escaped!
