For the current kingdom, it is really not an exaggeration to say that the route of the Ming Dynasty is a lifeline, and there must be no problem at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fortunately, on that occasion, under the courageous counterattack of the pioneers, the kingdom's navy thwarted the plot of the Dutch fleet to attack the kingdom's hinterland with an absolutely inferior number of ships.

In that naval battle, although it was three cutting-edge warships with a displacement of 400 tons, with several small ships with a displacement of 200 tons, against the enemy's 20 large ships of more than 500 tons.

However, in Chen Xin's view, it could not be regarded as a complete victory, because the three cutting-edge warships used rifled guns.

However, it seems that the pirates of the Ming Dynasty don't see it that way, in the eyes of the pirates, it is definitely a big victory to be able to sink nearly half of the ships of the red-haired ghosts.

The pirates also fought with the red-haired ghosts, and on several occasions, hundreds of pirate ships besieged two or three armed merchant ships of the red-haired ghosts, but they only fought a "draw", forcing the other party back, and in the end they were not able to cause much damage to the enemy.

However, the kingdom's navy was able to sink so many enemy ships with losses far lower than those of the red-haired ghosts, which was definitely a great victory.

The "great victory", which Chen Xin considered controversial, once again proclaimed the kingdom's military might and re-intimidated the surrounding pirates. Let the trade routes of the kingdom remain stable.

Half a year has passed, and there has never been a problem, and no pirate has dared to come to the kingdom's waters.

But now, in the year when the kingdom was established, in the year when it was thriving and striving for development, there were pirates who dared to run over and make trouble?

Moreover, he came for this all-steel test ship on which he was riding?

Could it be that the enemy thinks that this 3,000-ton ship is just an ornament?

Or do they think, the steel that has not yet been painted on the hull, is fake?

Or, the kingdom has not used swords for more than half a year, which makes some people hallucinate and think that the kingdom is easy to bully?

Chen Xin felt that his mind was a little out of the way, and he really couldn't understand the intentions of these pirates.

Chen Xinxin's mind was spinning, and he had already performed a fugue in an instant, but after a moment's effort, he came back to his senses and asked Captain Li, "What's going on?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is like this, there are two groups of pirates in the exchange of fire, one chasing and one fleeing, and without paying attention, they rushed to the waters of the kingdom, and reached the front of our course.

We did not dare to relax in the slightest, and first fired a warning shot at the small flotilla in front, a total of three sea vessels.

At the highest distance, the 88mm gun was used to warn the sea, and the pirates seemed to be frightened and did not dare to move any more, lowering the sails and waiting for us to inspect them.

I have informed the warships patrolling nearby to come as soon as possible and inspect those ships.

However, immediately after that, 11 more pirate ships ran out of the rear of the three ships, apparently chasing the three ships in front.

Moreover, these people were extremely arrogant, ignoring the fact that this was the sea of the kingdom, and did not care about the warning shot we had just made, and brazenly launched an artillery bombardment on the three ships in front.

In order to preserve the majesty of the kingdom, we fired a shell from a 105mm howitzer and taught them a small lesson. ”

"Oh? Is this shooting directly at the enemy? When Chen Xin heard this, he didn't care about anything else, but was just interested in the results of the artillery, so he asked, "How are the results of your artillery?" ”

Captain Li's tone was very excited, as if he had won the jackpot, "Your Excellency, I have to say that the battleship with a full load displacement of 3,000 tons is really extraordinary, and it is completely different from the previous 400-ton and 200-ton warships.

Our battleship, a 30-pound 105mm artillery warhead fired during the march, directly crossed a distance of more than 2,000 meters, forming a beautiful close-arrow projectile near the enemy's fleet. ”

Chen Xin listened to the previous words, and thought that he had sunk an enemy ship, but in the end, there was a big turn, and Chen Xin almost fell.

It's just a near-arrow bullet.,Near-arrow bullet.,Just a near-arrow bullet, you said so high-spirited.,So excited.,Engage in yarn.,Although the meaning of the near arrow bullet is different.,But,Didn't you still miss.。

Although he kept complaining crazy in his heart, and the villain was churning in his mind, Chen Xin still insisted on not saying it, kept a smile on his face, and said approvingly, "Not bad, continue to work hard." ”

This was not Chen Xin's words against his will, Chen Xin also knew that when long-distance artillery combat was conducted at sea, even if rifled guns were used, it was common for the two sides to fire at each other for several hours and only hit a few shots.

In later generations, history has been developing like this, that is, after the end of World War II, with auxiliary artifacts such as shipborne radar, the artillery hit rate of battleships has increased.

Now, our naval gunners are able to form close-range shells on the move, which is indeed a remarkable achievement.

With this near-arrow shooting, the accuracy of the next shot, in general, will not be too bad.

Although he can't help but complain, in his heart, Chen Xin knows how hard the naval gunners have made such achievements.

After sighing for a while, Chen Xin continued to ask, "So, what is the situation now, have those pirates surrendered?" ”

Captain Li said with some hesitation, "We can't confirm it, because you are on the ship, so it is impossible for us to lean in and check directly."

However, I don't think the pirates seem to have any intention of surrendering, because the pirates haven't lowered their sails and are still cruising in the distance. ”

Chen Xin's face was serious, "You are the navy of the kingdom, you have the responsibility of guarding the sea frontier, in the sea area under our jurisdiction, if you encounter armed thugs, you naturally need to go up to solve it, you don't need to care about me."

You should know that I led a small team of more than 10 people to fight all the way to today, establishing the United Kingdom of China, and this kind of small scene still does not frighten me. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey. All of them are there, sound the alarm, and get ready for close-quarters combat. ”

As a shrill alarm bell rang, the soldiers on the entire battleship were busy and returned to their positions.

Captain Li and the entire command system on the ship also retreated from this high platform and entered the bridge one floor below.

Just now, I was just confirming the enemy's situation, so everyone was standing on an open high platform, and now that they were going to fight, they naturally couldn't die like that.

After walking into the bridge, in a burst of alarms, Chen Xin listened enthusiastically to Captain Li's order, "Engine room, eight success rate, start." ”
