1825 My New Daming

Chapter 132 I won, I was numb, I was crying! (Finally begging for another wave of subscriptions!)
Inside the bridge of Lushun, Zhuge Weidao couldn't believe his eyes!

When he was rushing towards the Indomitable, he saw an unbelievable scene—the airship really smashed the battleship!

And the way of "big break" is simply unbelievable, oh, it's not completely unbelievable, but now he thinks about using a "flying camera" to hang two grenades to blow up tanks in later wars.If it weren't for the video as evidence, no one would believe that DJ turned out to be an arms company.

Now the airship bombs the battleship in the same way, it also slowly flies to the front of the battleship, then slows down to the same speed as the battleship or even slower, or even hovers in the air, and then waits for the battleship to pass by from below before dropping the bomb.Because the speed of the airship is very slow, it naturally flies very stably, so the bomb will not be too deflected when dropped.It may not be able to hit in one hit, but it is no problem to hit a few close misses, and it can also cause certain damage to the battleship.

And as long as there are enough airships, enough bombs will be dropped, and the probability of hitting may be high enough.

Also, since battleships are bombed (direct hits and near misses), the anti-aircraft firepower will definitely drop.After the anti-aircraft firepower of the battleship drops, the airship will be able to descend. When the airship falls to a height of 300 meters, the accuracy of bombing will be greatly improved.

这一次关天培出动了25艘飞艇，每艘飞艇都携带16枚100公斤炸弹，总归有400枚100公斤的炸弹。如果平均的命中率可以达到5%, 不屈号就得挨上20枚100公斤的炸弹, 剩下的至少两三成是近失弹！

This level of damage, not to mention the 1-ton Indomitable, if you let that "Zhen Yamato" try it, you can't stand it like this!
In the end, the Indomitable was bombed while sailing at sea. Although its power system seemed to have malfunctioned and lost most of its speed, it was still able to move after all. If it was bombed in the anchorage port. Haha, It takes a lot of time for a steam boiler to boil water!I'm afraid the boat will be gone before the water boils.

So after the Indomitable was bombed and sunk by an airship, there will probably be an airship craze all over the world, right?
Zhuge Wei Daoxin said: "It seems that the plane must be produced as soon as possible. When the time comes to use the plane to fight the airship, we can win again. In addition, the air defense of the battleship must be strengthened as soon as possible. Don't turn around and let the British guys who are catching up It's a 'teacher knows how to make a plan'."

Just as he was thinking about this, the communications officer of the Lushun suddenly reported loudly: "Sir, the Vladivostok received a call. Commander Li ordered our ship to approach the Indomitable, and then launched a torpedo to sink it and salvage the British officers and soldiers who fell into the water."

"Okay!" Zhuge Weidao laughed and said loudly, "Send the boat over and sink the Unyielding!"

"Yes, sir!"

This is the first armored battleship to be sunk in history!
Although it is only a supplementary knife, it is still a great honor for Lushun.

Zhuge Weidao knew that it was Li Chenghui of Li Jinwang's family who gave himself the honor of finally sinking the battleship Invincible. This is also the honor Zhuge Weidao and all the officers and soldiers of Lushun deserved.

Because, the battle of Jiyi Waterway this time seems to have been caused by Zhuge Weidao, the Zhuge military strategist who "calculated every strategy", "reckless", or over-calculated, thinking that "imperialism is going to kill me".

Of course Zhuge Weidao now knows that the battle of the Jiyi Waterway is likely to be a "misunderstanding".Because of the investigation by the airship, it is now basically certain that there is no ambush from the shogunate navy in the Kii waterway and in the Pacific Ocean outside the Kii waterway.

If this is a long-planned attack by Britain and Japan, it is impossible for the Tokugawa shogunate not to set up an ambush outside the Kii Waterway.

In addition, according to the investigation of the airship, the four pirate ships that caused this "misunderstanding" are still fleeing to the depths of the Pacific like crazy at the moment.Moreover, they are all flying the "red cross flag" of the East India Company. They should be smuggling ships under the name of the East India Company. Well, these smuggling ships are all over the coasts of Daming, Japan and Southeast Asia. Very active, not only smuggling porn, but also smuggling everything else that can be smuggled.

Moreover, these East India Company's anchor ships and Japanese pirate ships are sometimes two in one.They are both Yapian Ships and Pirate Ships. At the same time, they are also engaged in the business of selling Japanese girls to Daming and Southeast Asia.It is even related to underworld profiteers in Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Nanyang.

The Ming Navy has fought against them a lot, so it is very familiar with them.The four merchant ships that were running fast and heading southeast to the Pacific Ocean were obviously Yap Ships and Pirate Ships, and they were veterans.

According to Zhuge Weidao's own analysis, they were probably waiting near Awaji Island to trade with profiteers in Osaka last night.In the end, by chance, they encountered four warships of Ming Dynasty and a Japanese gunboat. They thought they had encountered the soldiers of Ming Dynasty who came to arrest them, so they ran away while firing, and then happened to meet the British who were visiting Japan. Thinking about it now, the fleet seems to be a bit too coincidental!

But as long as you win the fight, and it's a nuisance, it doesn't matter what the truth is!
As soon as Zhuge Weidao thought about these things, there were two roars from the starboard direction. He quickly turned his head and found that 1000 meters away, the port midship of the burning battleship Indomitable had risen two times. A water column tens of meters high.The hull was tilting to the right at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it rolled over after a while, and then quickly sank into the vast sea.

"Wan Sheng! Daming Wan Sheng!"

"Long live Daming."

Inside the bridge of the Lushun, cheers suddenly resounded.

Zhuge Weidao smiled and said to Wang Wen beside him: "Give Admiral Li a power. The Lushun has already sunk the battleship HMS Indomitable!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Really? Is this true? Can you say that again? It's great, it's great, thank God."

Beijing, in Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, when Zhuge Weiyong, chief of naval staff, put down the phone in his hand, tears welled up in his eyes.

Zheng Guozhong looked at Zhuge Weiyong who was crying, took a deep breath, and then asked bravely, "Yongzhi, how is the situation? We won?"

"Win, win" Zhuge Wei said "Win" while wiping his tears with a black-faced burly man. This is all winning and crying, how much should we win?
Zheng Guozhong and Mr. Yu looked at each other, and Mr. Yu continued to ask: "Use it, will we win a lot?"

"Many, too many!" Zhuge Weiyong laughed while crying: "Big win, big victory, we severely damaged a Sovereign-class battleship, sank an Indomitable-class battleship, a Lidean-class cruiser, and a destroyer! "

"What? Sinking a battleship?"

"That's right, an Indomitable class was sunk, and a Sovereign class was severely damaged!"

"Here, the Indomitable class has a displacement of more than 1 tons. What a great victory!"

Both Zheng Guozhong and Mr. Yu were shocked, and it was too late for "joy", "surprise" came first!Killing one thousand enemies will cost you eight hundred!They are all turned into battleships, so there will be a lot of self-inflicted damage, right?

"Then our loss?" Mr. Yu had already recovered from the "shock", but he still didn't dare to be happy, but continued to ask.

"The Lushun was slightly injured, with a few skin scratches. It was nothing serious at all. Four sailors were killed in battle, five were injured, and one of them was seriously injured." Zhuge Weiyong said, "Another airship was damaged during landing, but It's okay, it can be used normally after repairs."

Zheng Guozhong and Mr. Yu let out a sigh of relief at the same time, both of their faces showed "great joy", what a joy!

Zheng Guozhong asked the old man, "Master, has King Zhuge Wu arrived in Europe now?"

Mr. Yu said: "I only entered the Suez Canal two days ago and it takes two days to cross the canal. I guess I can go to Alexandria today to have dinner with Ali Pasha."

"Then hurry up and send a telegram to make King Zhuge Wu happy." Zheng Guozhong said with a smile, "This time he has more chips in his hand!"

"Stakes?" Zhuge Weiyi, who was smiling from ear to ear, hurriedly asked, "Master, are we still talking with the British?"
