As the distance moved in, the sea ship in the smoke became clearer and clearer, and Henry's brows became deeper and deeper. After a while, he turned his head and asked the officer beside him: "White! Maybe Robert is right. Apart from Satan's ship, I really can't think of that boat that can hold up the sails and can sail more than ten knots!"

White was also confused and replied: "Captain Henry! Satan could not need a ship at all. Perhaps it was a new warship developed by the Allies...!"

White's voice was getting smaller and smaller, and I'm afraid he wouldn't believe it. This would be the Allied ships. Those ships were so weird. They didn't open their sails and maintained a speed of ten knots. Is it magical magic?

Thinking of the word magic, White widened his eyes and pointed to the sea boat that was getting closer and closer in the smoke and said, "Captain, they are East..."

"That's right! It's the Oriental's sea boat, and it also uses methods we don't know! I saw the sun and moon double sword flags they hung. Apart from the indigenous people in the East, who else could hang such an ugly flag?" Henry interrupted White and said with a serious expression.

White showed an incredible expression. He thought of this possibility, and still wondered: "But... Captain! How could they appear on the Atlantic Ocean?..."

"It's what you think! This group of dogs and bastards colluded with Orientals. They came to help the Ganles and I can't let them get what they want!

Everyone is ready! Let's go up and try what the Orientals have!" Henry shouted, which immediately caused cheers.

But White looked at the ship in the distance with concern, and his heart was like the thick smoke that could not be dispersed, and there was always a layer of haze that could not be wafted.

As we got closer and closer, as we approached five miles, warships in the distance showed their huge bodies.

Henry also went from his initial excitement to his solemnity. He did not put down his telescope for a moment and ordered: "Tell the Lord, cut the right wing of the Orientals, don't fight, let's go after a round, there are too many Orientals' ships!"

The two warships turned one in front and one behind, facing the fleet in the distance.

...

"Target five miles, ruler six, right twice, request to launch!"

On the Qinhuang-class warship, the tarpaulin wrapped in the bow had been lifted, revealing the turret like a house inside.

The moment he saw the turret, Sisley couldn't believe his eyes. This thing was actually made of steel.

No wonder he couldn't see the cannon window from the side of the Qinhuang-class warship. It turned out that the Jingbei Navy installed the turret on the deck. But there were only two cannons on such a large boat, which was too wasteful.

Or if there is such a warship, he will install more than a hundred artillery guns on the ship and must be transformed into a maritime fortress before he can stop.

What can only two guns do? And the caliber is not the largest model, it is completely a living target at sea.

In fact, after seeing the Qinhuang-class warship, Sisley was still full of envy. The speed of this ship was too fast, especially when sailing against the wind, it could still maintain a speed of ten knots, which shocked Sisley.

The sails on the ship alone cannot run at such a speed, and the doorways are all on the two thick chimneys. Orientals call this steam engines, and as long as the fuel is constant, it can power the warships.

The fleet went out to sea without going east directly, but towards the south for supply reasons. Starting from Vladivostok, heading south, passing through Taiyuan Island, Manila, Batavia, and turning to the continent in the southern hemisphere.

Recharges in the port established by Tokugawa Ieyasu, spans the South Pacific Ocean, enters the southernmost strait, and appears in the Atlantic Ocean.

The emergence of the steam engine made this seemingly impossible route a reality. The fleet was not greatly affected by ocean currents and wind directions, and even in complete headwinds, it could still maintain a faster speed with the steam engine.

Unless there is a large-scale storm, nothing can stop the fleet from advancing. There are many failures in the steam engine along the way. Fortunately, there are technicians trained by the research institute on each ship, which provides guarantees for the fleet's smooth sailing.

Such a sailing route and speed are unimaginable to Sisley. It was originally thought that it would take half a year or even several months to be greatly shortened.

Despite his envy, Sisley still stubbornly believed that the Qinhuang-class warships did not have enough firepower. Two pairs of guns and dozens of guns, simple algorithms, even ordinary farmers knew the gap.

Especially when I saw the Qinhuang-class warship, the sea wolf-class warships were fired first without waiting for other sea dragons and sea wolf-class warships to come, I couldn't help but remind me: "Commander! I have no intention of offending, but it is still an unwise behavior to deal with the English Navy with just one warship!

You should order the fleet to surround the English warships. With the magical steam engine, two English warships should not escape, try to wipe them out completely, and don’t give them a chance to report the news..."

"Are you ordering me?" Deng Hai interrupted Sisley's chatter in a calm tone.

Sisley's face froze and said with a smile: "Please forgive my straightforwardness! This is just a kind reminder and does not mean to order you. After all, you are the commander of this fleet, aren't you?"

I said this, but I was still dissatisfied with Deng Hai in my heart. The main reason was that the other party was too young and had no experience in the battle at first glance.

"Sisley! What do you mean? Xiaohai is young, but he fights more battles than you have seen. Don't forget that you are just an envoy, and you have to look at our Jingbei Army when fighting!"

A sound was heard without any politeness, and Sisley felt embarrassed on his face.

Deng Hai turned his head and smiled, "Uncle Li is here! My nephew wants to try it with the English warship, but I wonder if he is interested in watching it?"

Li Rusong slapped Deng Hai on the shoulder and said, "I have wanted to see it for a long time. I stayed on the boat all day long and I was almost growing hair on my body. I just happened to see how the rifled cannons made by the Institute are different!"

While the two were talking, they were less than four miles away from the English warship. Deng Hai shouted at the pipe in front of him: "Free fire, if you miss three shots, go wash the deck!"

"Yes!" A short and powerful voice sounded in the tube, sounding a little distorted in the echo, but it saved the running back and forth to convey the order.

The turret rotated slowly and aimed at the English warship in the distance. After the strange telescope at the side of the ship, a soldier kept reporting the parameters, and the turret adjusted the angle accordingly.

"fire!"

The sound came from the turret, and the thick cannon suddenly burst out, the barrel quickly retreated, and a large mass of gunpowder sprayed out from the muzzle, and for a moment, the conical shells rotated and flew towards the English warship.

"boom!"

The shells did not hit the English warship, but they exploded a few meters away from it. The splashing water column soared into the sky and landed on the deck of the English warship.
