Chapter 1041 fuck, fuck, what's going on?
Just went ashore, and before he had time to show off his might, the back road was cut off. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Is this a joke?
The black soldiers in front of the port school stood for more than ten seconds under the playful gaze of the teachers and students of the school, of course, they had regained their vitality and were still silent. Only the teachers and students of the port school were happy. The faces that were originally crying and mourning have now all turned into smirks and silly music, and the eyes that contain dissatisfaction and hatred have all turned into smiles at this moment.
Everyone is gloating. Let this group of people pretend to be coerced, and now they have been struck by lightning, so let's pretend to be stupid.
Two of the five warships were bombed, one was directly reimbursed, and the other collapsed on the surface of the Osama River like a dead fish. But there were still three warships left in the entire fleet, and there were three transports, and the fourth-class sail battleship as the flagship immediately hoisted the signal flag for retreat.
Naval Commander James, an Englishman, had a layer of sweat on his forehead.
Seeing those flames rising from the bottom of the water, he immediately thought of the mines of the Chinese. The Chinese American Fleet used this trick when it attacked the port of Key West, and fortunately no rockets have come out.
However, the fourth-class sail battleship, which was the first to hang up the retreat signal, turned its head and retreated more than 300 meters, and then was blown open a big hole in the bow by another mine.
This is the credit of the submarine unit led by Peng Mingjiu. Of course, it was impossible for them to predict the exact time it would take for the Port-au-Prince fleet to evacuate, and the anchor mines they had arranged were triggered.
You only need to light the incense inside, and after the incense burns out, it will burn off a safety thread inside, which is a real thread, a silk thread, which is very strong, but it is not resistant to burning. Then the trigger device is completely liberated.
The whole trigger device is directly connected to the flint rod by a spring with strong elasticity, and at the other end is a white phosphorus with a very low ignition point connected to the fuse lead, and the spring is suppressed by a thin iron rod, and the strength of the thin iron rod is connected to an iron ring, which is then connected to an iron hook hook attached to the shell of the anchor mine. The hook arc of this iron hook is extremely small, and it can easily fall off when hit.
And impact is the most important, if not the only, way to trigger such anchor mines. Although the chance of triggering such anchor mines is not 100%, it is not even guaranteed to be 50%.
The reason for its trigger is that the ship hit the shell of the anchor mine, and this force acts on the iron hook, which is likely to make the iron hook with a very small arc fall off from the iron ring, and without the involvement of the iron hook, the thin iron rod has no pressure, the spring springs up, and the ignition probability of the trigger device is as high as more than 85%.
The reliability of such anchor mines is not guaranteed, but it is full of suddenness. It is very suitable for a weapon like a submarine.
Before the attack on the Port-au-Prince fleet, the chaos in the city of Santo Domingo had reached a certain extreme. The sudden arrival of the princeling's forces and the mixed-race white forces in the city combined with each other, and immediately launched an attack on General Rabe's forces.
The sudden sneak attack caught General Rabe's armed forces, which had already been transformed into the 10th Detachment of the Black Third Legion, by surprise and had to retreat back again and again.
A farcical welcome ceremony took place in the city of Santo Domingo, the most cheerful of which was Laseiba, the half-race leader who had previously played against Rabe.
This is a man who once almost became the king of Santo Domingo, and he has a fairly good relationship with the French. When the Spaniards returned to Santo Domingo, he mixed well. Because the white blood on him came from a Spanish nobleman.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
He was also a British conspirator in Santo Domingo.
Of course, the masterminds of this 'counterattack' are the British, and they don't want to see Chen Han easily take away the Spanish Island. Whether it was to involve the energy of the Chinese or to cause trouble for China, the British plunged into this troubled water without hesitation.
They believed in the fighting power of the black Haitians, and Napoleon sent two armies that were helpless against Haiti, the former with 30,000 troops and the latter with 40,000 defeats. The British hope that Haiti will also become a death cemetery for the Chinese, and this small island may well be the Achilles heel of the Chinese.
After receiving the support of the British, La Ceiba did one tandem after another in private, but the people he contacted would not really believe him until they saw the 'real evidence'. Therefore, when he heard the roar of the naval guns in Port-au-Prince, the whole person was so excited that he couldn't help himself, he felt crispy and numb all over his body, and he trembled to the point of being high!
When Rabe's command had already withdrawn from Santo Domingo, Laceiba led his forces to 'step forward' and soon took control of most of Santo Domingo. He aggressively recruited men in the city, and those who had been in the past were gathered by the forces of La Ceba, and they came to attach themselves to them. There are also the 'celebrities' in the city of Santo Domingo, for whom the whole situation has turned completely in La Ceba's favor, and Rabe is a thing of the past. No matter how strong the Chinese are, they will not be able to save the current situation.
Moreover, the Haitians west of Santo Domingo defeated the French twice with hard work and struggle, and also defeated the intervention of the British. Then the blacks of Santo Domingo can do the same. They wanted to form an independent state, not merge with Port-au-Prince.
A group of greedy people, before Santo Domingo was completely taken, began to talk about how to build a nation, how to protect their interests in front of the people of Port-au-Prince.
The strength of these people is not weak. Because of Rabe's defeat, some of the black armed leaders who had supported Chen Han are now present at La Ceba's official residence.
Individually, they don't have a lot of people. Together, it was an army with more troops than Rabe's main force.
La Ceiba was confident.
Because there are still troops in Port-au-Prince at the port, Alexandre Pétion's 2000 army is a very heavy bargaining chip, and now he is also in the league with the British, and Laceiba himself believes that the boss is also British, and Laceiba thinks that the army in Port-au-Prince is his own friendly army, and will not clash with them too violently, at least on the surface. The British would not agree to the annexation of Santo Domingo by the army in Port-au-Prince, which would inevitably cause some local forces to change their attitudes and weaken the anti-Chinese forces. And as long as he is given time, the army under his control can be expanded to 5,000 people. And his biggest enemy, Rabe, has only more than 2,000 troops, and the entire 'Rabe's pro-China group' is only about four or five thousand troops.
Although Dominica is larger than Haiti, this does not mean that Dominica has a larger population than Haiti.
The center of gravity of the Spaniards in the Caribbean shifted to Havana 200 years ago, and Dominica is much less important than Cuba. The French colonized Haiti with 500,000 people, while Dominica had only 150,000 before the war. After excluding Hispanics and mestizos, there were about 100,000 black slaves here.
And more than a decade of war and conflict have also greatly reduced the population of Santo Domingo. Now there are more than 100,000 people in the whole of Santo Domingo. With such a population base, which is not as large as the population of the divided Port-au-Prince regime, how many troops are there among them?
Alexandre Pétion sent 2,000 elite soldiers, and even if the 'volunteers' on the five warships were not involved in the land battle, the strength of 2,000 would be enough to cooperate with La Ceiba to capture the whole of Santo Domingo.
La Ceiba snowballed the anti-Chinese forces in Santo Domingo.
Chen Han has his own decision on the issue of dealing with the Spanish island. However, for the local natives, Chen Han's decision-making, this kind of foreign--not consulted political framework at all, has 'huge problems' in terms of religion, taxation, land, law, and so on, which has seriously harmed their interests, and these policies have caused dissatisfaction among many people on a daily basis.
But Chen Han was supported by a group of people represented by Rabe, who held half of Santo Domingo's army in his hands, and after having the backbone, he was still relatively strong. La Ceiba and these oppositionists, although not 'daring' to express their opinions, are like a hydra, there is no center, and La Ceiba can only be said to be the leader of the alliance, not the emperor. And in addition to the opposition, Santo Domingo also has neutral forces.
The opposition was at a disadvantage in the previous 'struggle', but now it seems that Rabe is about to finish. Having already withdrawn from Santo Domingo, those who were disgruntled immediately jumped out and joined La Ceiba with joy.
Santo Domingo is only such a central city, and the Spaniards really don't pay much attention to it, unlike Saint-Domingue run by the French in the west, in addition to Cap-de-France [Cap-Haïtien], there is also Port-au-Prince. The towns of Puerto Plata and La Bega here in Santo Domingo are not at all on the same level as Santo Domingo.
La Ceiba had his own general's dress on board and warmly welcomed a pair of distinguished guests. They were Lieutenant Colonel Jones, the prefect of Major James, and General Stulart of Port-au-Prince.
Behind Laceiba were twenty or thirty men, some of them small military leaders, some of them large landowners or big businessmen here, and some officials of Santo Domingo.
These people were not all of mixed race, many of them were black, but that didn't delay them from coming forward to stammer the British at this moment. Yes, everyone knows that the British are the big bosses, and Sturat and Alexander Pétion behind him, whose identities are not more noble than them, are all British doglegs.
"Thank you very much for your help. If it weren't for the heroic 'volunteers' supporting us, Santo Domingo would still be controlled by Rabe, who is mean, shameless, and cowardly at the feet of the Chinese. ”
Lasceba's whole body was about to be high, he was so excited, the British in front of him had just recognized his 'status'.
Lieutenant Colonel Jones looked at La Ceba, who was about to faint with excitement, and his eyes flashed with contempt, if the Spanish island could really survive the clutches of China, it must also belong to the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Lieutenant Colonel Jones is wary of Cap-Haïtien and Port-au-Prince, but what is Santo Domingo? There are only 100,000 people here.
"Your Excellency, rest assured. With the strong support of your country, we will certainly be able to repel the prying eyes of the Chinese on Santo Domingo and protect our freedom and independence. "Laceiva searched for all the good words in his head, and flattered Lieutenant Colonel Jones to the fullest.
And Lieutenant Colonel Jones, who happily listened to Laseva's praise of himself, also praised him: "The Royal Navy of the British Empire is the most powerful fleet on this earth, and the French cannot compete with it, and the French and Spaniards cannot compete with each other, and the Chinese cannot compete with it." The Royal Navy of the British Empire is invincible......"
Before the words fell, and before the group led by Lasewa had raised their glasses and praised the mighty and invincible British Royal Navy, a roaring explosion came from the direction of the harbor.
There must have been a violent explosion on the surface of the Osama River, and the smile on Lieutenant Colonel Jones's face instantly solidified into a sculpture.
Surprised, surprised, confused, puzzled, all kinds of emotions mixed together, and his mind was confused.
Finally, Lieutenant Colonel Jones jumped up in a frenzy and shouted, "Fuck, fuck, what's going on?" "There was a dense explosion in the direction of the estuary, which directly told him ...... that something was wrong!
