Chapter 1105 The advantage lies in the enemy (second update, please subscribe)
The fleet has set off!
On the afternoon of September 1882, 9, the mighty fleet sailed out of the port of Callao and headed south. At this time, the sailors of the Peru-Bolivia Federation on the warship were all full of desire for the upcoming battle.

They know what mission they are shouldering - the rise and fall of the country!

This fleet consisting of two battleships, four armored cruisers, and four cruisers can be called the most powerful fleet in the South Pacific, at least the most powerful fleet at present.

After all, perhaps the size of the Pacific Fleet of the Ming Empire far exceeds that of the Mibo Federation Navy, but the Imperial Pacific Fleet is scattered.From Hawaii to Japan to the Success Islands and the Northern Territory, the vast and scattered empire territory dispersed the empire's naval power.

At this time, with one "Youzhou-class" and two Nanhua-class ships rushing to aid Cuba, plus the two Linhai-class ships that sailed to Hawaii before, the current Pacific Fleet of the empire only has one Nanhua-class and two Linhai-class ships. Class armored fleet, as for the cruisers, there are only four. It can be said that in terms of strength, the Peru-Bolivia Federation Fleet has the advantage, and this is the fundamental reason why they dare to take the initiative to attack.

"In the bright sunshine, they sailed to the sea. This is the largest naval battle since the invention of the iron-clad ship. God bless!"

On the "Peru", Madsen, the British lieutenant commander, gazed into the distance with a tone full of longing.

"Major, do you think their plan will succeed?"

Major William, the observer from Germany, who was holding a pipe in his hand, asked curiously. "I have no idea."

Madsen shook his head, then said.

"But their plan is very good. Once they can defeat the Ming Empire's navy at sea, then at least for the next few months, the Ming Empire's land invasion of Bolivia and Peru will be delayed, and the alliance will be free to go along the coast. Line supplies and strengthen the deployment of the army, weapons can also be continuously imported into Peru from overseas, and more importantly, the United Kingdom and the United States will also respond.”

"Yes, no country will help a doomed country, but if they win the naval battle, then they also win future survival."

"Who would have thought that the fate of a country would be determined entirely by the outcome of a naval battle?"

Although the fate of the country was determined in this naval battle, the sailors of the Bolivian Allied Fleet seemed particularly happy and also became talkative. Some were playing chess in a secluded corner, some were reading, and the other group People are talking about interesting things about a certain colleague there.It was almost hard to believe that perhaps there might have been some vanity in their feigned indifference to the danger that these sailors were about to engage in a naval battle in which many men would die.

On the battleship Peru the whistle blew and the watch officer called out.

"Pray!"

"Order the entire fleet to pray!"

As a Catholic country, at dusk that day, Miguel Grau ordered to pray, even if there are many Indian sailors in his fleet who do not serve God, it is not a big deal, as long as they Letter will do.

After the order was issued, the sailors were praying on the main deck. The priest accompanying the ship had already put on his holy clothes and stood in front of the icon. The priest's eyes were full of longing, which showed his mood .

He is also eager to win, because he knows what it means for the Ming Empire to occupy Peru, which means that the church will suffer a severe blow. The Ming Empire is not Catholic, and they will never let them occupy a large amount of land wealth.

Under the leadership of the priest, the people were praying, praying for the blessing of God, bless them in the coming battle, bless their souls, bless them to win this war!

While the prayer was in progress, the fleet changed to a new formation. The armored cruisers of the First Cruiser Fleet sailed forward at full power. Cruising, this is to fight against the lightning strike ships of the Ming Empire Navy, the cruiser is the only defense method that the navies of various countries can use against the lightning strike ships.With the order issued, the fleet changed from a sailing formation to a combat formation.

The sun is setting!
On the sea dyed red by the setting sun, this huge fleet sailed towards the south like this. Whether it is sailing to victory or to death, only God knows.

However, what they didn't know was that almost at the same time they set off, the agents of the Imperial Investigation Bureau lurking near the military port sent the information back to the country, and a reconnaissance airship flew to this sea area early on. The fleet was searched in the air.

Almost as soon as the airship discovered the soot from the fleet, the radio officer on the reconnaissance airship used the radio to notify the Imperial Navy.In front of them, a naval fleet covering the landing force was immediately divided into two according to the plan, and sailed to the north.

Compared with the Peruvian Navy, the size of this fleet is very limited. There are only one battleship Shanxi and the armored cruiser "Linhai", and four protected cruisers "Taiyuan", "Jincheng", "Datong" and "Taihang".Add at most eight ten-year-type lightning strike ships.

As the commander of the fleet, Lieutenant General Cheng Bichen stared into the distance with a solemn expression. As the deputy commander of the Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Navy, the fleet he led was undoubtedly the weakest fleet in the Empire. Far superior to his fleet.

This naval battle...

"The disparity in strength is huge!"

When Li Guowei, who was on the warship, used a camera to record the soldiers who were preparing for battle, he sighed in his heart.

Yes, the disparity in strength between the two sides is extremely astonishing. The Federal Navy of Bolivia has two 8300-ton "Peru-class" combat ships, four 5400-ton "Huascar-class" armored cruisers, and four cruisers with a total displacement of 8600 tons .

And what about the Imperial Navy?

Shanxi has a displacement of 7300 tons, Linhai has a displacement of 6800 tons, "Taiyuan", "Jincheng", "Datong" and "Taihang" are 4600-ton protected cruisers, and the total tonnage of the ten-year lightning strike ship is only 7860 tons.The disparity in strength between the two sides is so great that it has almost reached the point where people cannot bear to look directly at it.

Although the disparity in strength is so great that even a layman like a military reporter can see it, the whole fleet still sails towards the northern sea with a kind of vigorous spirit, where a huge force, trying to The fleet of the Titan Guards is also heading towards them...

The sea under the setting sun has completely turned red at this time, it seems to be a sign of the future, a sign of ominous...
