"Shameless!"

"Shameless!"

"You are so shameless!"

Marin held the mast and as the Minotaur ironclad ship continued to sink, the sea water flooded his feet, forcing him to climb up hard, and cursed.

Five British warships were unprepared, but were hit one by one by one by the fish radium launched by the approaching Chinese naval fish radium boats, and they sank collectively without any suspense.

Do you want to lose so badly?

Marin's tears were sobbing and she couldn't cry. Her head kept hitting the mast, and her head was soon bleeding, and her intestines became blue after regret.

Five British warships were sunk by the Chinese navy without firing a single shot, creating a miracle in the history of modern naval warfare in the world and forever written on the pillar of shame in the history of the British Royal Navy.

This is also the first time that the Yu Ra Boat has appeared on the Shanghai battle stage, and has achieved brilliant results, becoming the pride of the Chinese Navy.

Of course, this is also because the British Navy knew nothing about fish radial boats. At first, he thought that the Chinese Navy sent a small boat to pick up their commanders to talk, so he did not take precautions, and they were all sunk.

Regret is useless.

Soon, the Chinese naval warship approached, and the ship-borne Gatling machine gun shot British sailors who fell into the water.

"You cannot kill and be protected by international naval tactics!"

"We are not a party to the Paris Declaration on Naval War, so there is no need to abide by it!"

“…”

The British sailors collapsed instantly and were scared. They no longer dared to take the airs of the British Empire. Begging for mercy may be of use.

"Don't kill it will be useful to you!"

"Yes, we have information about the British Navy, you must want to know!"

"You can lock us into a concentration camp, we are strong and can work!"

Hearing that the British sailors gave up the dignity of the British Empire and begged for mercy shamelessly, the officers and soldiers on the Chinese warships burst into laughter when they heard this.

"It's quite a good person. He actually knows our concentration camp system!"

"Then let them live. We just took Manila and there was no decent naval camp yet. It was still good to catch them to work!"

The British officers and soldiers in the water were immediately relieved of being pardoned and finally didn't have to die.

However, when they think of the so-called concentration camp system, they were shuddered. The two Yabo wars were defeated, and I wonder how many British people died of exhaustion in the concentration camp. That is not a place for people to stay!

But it is always good to survive, and these British sailors have no choice.

Of course, the British sailors who shot Luoshui were not the cruel soldiers of the Chinese Shence Army. This was just a deterrent, killing chickens to warn monkeys. What he did not intend to kill all of them from the beginning was to deliberately kill the British people's majesty.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and five British warships sank, and a total of 1,680 British officers and soldiers were captured from Marin.

"Let me go, I don't want to go to the concentration camp. I'd rather die!"

Marin was roaring and struggling, and really didn't want to enter the concentration camp again. The last concentration camp life had already left him with a shadow in his heart.

Bang!

A butt hit Marin's back of the head, and immediately smashed him down.

"Noisy! Drag away!"

Marin was dragged away like a dead dog, and the remaining British sailors did not dare to bark. Even the commander was treated like this, let alone them.

"Happy! This battle is so exciting!" Lin Changlong shouted excitedly on the battleship of the Weiyuan.

"It's just taking advantage of the British's unpreparedness against our army's fish and radium boats!" Weng Tonghe appeared at some point. Although he opposed the sneak attack on the British, he sank five British warships without hurting one soldier and one soldier to win. As the Minister of Overseas Chinese Protection, he also made contributions.

If you don’t take advantage of it, you are a bastard, and Weng Tonghe suddenly has a happy face.

Deng Zhilong was also speechless. These civil servants are all the same virtues, so they are good at getting used to it.

Later, an officer sent an interrogation record, which was obtained from the interrogation of British prisoners and some information from the British Asian fleet.

Deng Zhilong and Lin Changlong reviewed them separately and roughly understood the overall strength of the British Asian fleet.

At this time, not counting Marin's five warships, the British Asian fleet also had ten thousand-ton ironclad ships, twelve cruise ships, thirty-three frigates, seventeen patrol gunboats, and more than twenty auxiliary ships, including communication ships, troop ships, supply ships, tug ships, etc., with a total tonnage of more than 280,000 tons, exceeding the total tonnage of the four ocean fleets of the Chinese Navy.

"It is worthy of being the world's number one Royal Navy, just an Asian fleet is so powerful."

"It should be that most of the elite troops of the British Navy are concentrated in Asia. As far as I know, the total tonnage of the British Navy is only more than 500,000 tons, many of which are sails and steam engine hybrid outsourcing wooden hull warships. Only the warships built after the second year of Guanghua (1867) are fully armored."

Combining the intelligence already mastered by the Chinese Navy and the intelligence obtained from interrogation from British prisoners, Deng Zhilong, Lin Changlong and others basically mastered the full strength of the British Asian fleet and some secret parameters of each ship.

In the first year of Guanghua (1866), the Chinese Navy completed the sea test and various tests of the test ship Zheng He, and then approved the construction of nine Dingyuan-class iron armored battleships and nine Haiqi-class dome armored cruise ships. As soon as the major shipyards in China started construction, the United Kingdom received information and launched a targeted arms race.

In five years, the Chinese Navy obtained nine Dingyuan-class iron armored battleships and nine Haiqi-class dome cruise ships as the main battleships. In order to completely suppress the Chinese Navy, the British Navy built 18 iron armored battleships of 10,000 tons and 33 3,000 to 5,000 tons cruise ships.

At the same time, the British Navy is also adjusting its global maritime military deployment, and adopting the Asia-Pacific rebalancing strategy, deploying more than half of the newly built main ships to the Asia-Pacific.

These include: a monarch (1866) ship, monarch number 10322ton, verse 15.

Hercules class (1866) ship, Hercules, Hebres, 11000ton, 14.7.

The Bold Class (1867) four ships, Bold, A10909ton.14.

Duke Duke, 10700ton, 14.

Pioneer.vang11109ton, 14th section.

Invincible, i girl e, 11109ton.14.

A Sudan-class (1868) ship, Sultan, sultan, 10290ton, 14 chassis.

Two Agile Class (1868) ships, Agile, Private Tsure, 10910ton, 13.75.

Performance No., t.10910ton, Section 13.75.

A ship of the Grievance (1868), the Grievance, hot10331ton, 13.65.

Two ships of Destruction (1869), Devastation, Devastation, 10020ton, 13.8.

Thor.t-mixed derer, 10020ton, verse 13.8.

The total tonnage of these twelve iron-clad ships of seven-class level exceeded 10,000. The speed was all floating around 14 knots. Although the hull was chaotic (slipper type, round plate type, butter box type and long bathtub type, it was simply a night walk of ghosts), it was guaranteed that each warship was equipped with two 120-pound main guns, including turret type, open-air turret type, and ground well type. The main guns were not necessarily positioned, either at the bow and stern, or at the ship, and there were various types.

The twelve main iron armored ships made Deng Zhilong and Lin Changlong's heads several times.

Do you want to make this complicated? Remember the appearance of the monarch and forget the destruction level. The agility level and the pioneer level are always confused.

It's really a headache!

Deng Zhilong and Lin Changlong looked at each other and smiled bitterly. As commanders, they must master the various characteristics and data of the main battleships of the British Asian fleet, otherwise they will easily make mistakes in the war.

Fortunately, the British only made the main ironclad ships beyond recognition. As for cruise ships, in addition to changing from all wood to wrought iron, the sails were completely cancelled, and the overall changes were changed.

This is because the basic tasks of cruise ships are patrol, reconnaissance, escort, notification and display of force. They often need to sail to foreign and overseas colonies to perform tasks for a long time, requiring high speed, strong endurance and good navigation performance. Therefore, the ship type generally uses a streamlined ship type with a relatively large aspect ratio. Except for the armor protection parts and area, the overall layout remains almost unchanged.

However, the deployment of fifteen cruise ships in the Asia-Pacific region is still six more than the nine cruise ships of the Chinese Navy, which is under great pressure.

"Fortunately, we killed the five main battleships of Marin first. Although these five main battleships were built before the first year of Guanghua, they have also been modified. If the two sides add up, we will be under even greater pressure."

Weng Tonghe couldn't help but interrupt, "Then you are determined to take the initiative. I see how you deal with the main force of the British Asian fleet this time."

Weng Tonghe didn't speak for a long time, and Deng Zhilong and Lin Changlong were so angry that they turned their faces off.

Fortunately, Shuanglong did not have the same knowledge as Weng Tonghe, so he got up and left without seeing each other, and was not upset.

When I got outside, night had already fallen.

Camps were being built on the shore, and the camps left by the original Spanish Philippine fleet were not enough. The officers and soldiers of the 50th town of the Chinese Shence Army were fed up with vomiting in the cabin and would rather sleep on the ground than climb back onto the ship.

Around the Manila Bay Channel, more than a dozen naval frigates were carrying out underwater disposal, and more artillery were deployed on the turrets on the shore. Even the ancient iron cannons abandoned by the Spanish defenders were restored to use under the restoration of professionals.

All this is to face the upcoming British Asian fleet.

"What if the main force of the British Asian fleet does not come?" Lin Changlong asked suddenly.

Deng Zhilong was stunned. He had never thought about this problem. For a long time, from Li Weiguo, the entire empire official and military all believed that there would be a battle with Britain until the world overlord was decided. It was precisely based on this general environment that Deng Zhilong doubted the British Navy's motives and decided to take the initiative first.

But if the judgment is wrong and the British have no intention of starting a war, Marin is purely passing by Manila, and the British Asian fleet does not come to Manila, then the Chinese naval fleet led by Deng Zhilong will attack Marin and fight without proclaiming the battle, and will bear the blame for starting a war without proclaiming it.

"They will definitely come, trust their own judgment!"

Well, Deng Zhilong has no better way at this moment. He likes to do whatever he wants. Anyway, he has already attacked and has already fought indiscriminately. If he really makes a wrong judgment, then go to the military court.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it if I have something to do!" Seeing Deng Zhilong's expression, Lin Changlong was immediately happy and patted his shoulder to show comfort.

Deng Zhilong immediately smiled bitterly and said, "You need to comfort me? I have already sent a report. The military headquarters called back and said that Your Majesty did not blame us, but instead wrote us a merit and informed the Northern Ocean Fleet and the Eastern Ocean Fleet to arrive in Manila in two days and ask us to prepare."

"Okay, it turns out that you are pretending! If you don't tell me this, I will worry about you in vain!" Lin Changlong pretended to be furious.

"Weng Tonghe was here just now, and I didn't say it on purpose, just to make him nervous!" Deng Zhilong said the reason.

Lin Changlong immediately understood that General Deng was deliberately taking revenge on Weng Tonghe.

However, Lin Changlong was also very happy, which made Weng Tonghe worried, and it would be better to tease him.

This night, many people were destined to be unable to fall asleep.

Deng Zhilong and Lin Changlong were all thinking that if they deal with the powerful British Asian fleet, they might be blocked in Manila Bay and become turtles in a jar if they are not careful.

The officers and soldiers of the entire Overseas Chinese Protection Fleet were also waiting for trouble. They all heard that the main force of the British Asian fleet was about to arrive and would be a battle that would determine the fate of the Chinese navy and would not be lost.
