Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Crack crack crack crack. The sound of the breaking wood suppressed the thunder, and Yuyan was torn apart from the center like a paper boat held by a child.

Countless goods fell into the sea, and the sailors screamed in fear before sinking into the sea. In the dark cold ocean waves, a huge whirlpool appeared, and the steel Zhiyuan Warship crushed it down.

Countless sailors sank into the sea to look at the blue light on the surface of the sea. Before they died, they only had one thought, "How could it be Chinese?" How could it be Chinese? And how come these Chinese don't have braids? Didn't they say that the Chinese in the East were as timid as a mouse? "How could this be …"

With questions, the sailors sank into the sea and lost all consciousness.

The battle had ended, and the tempest over the sea also started to lessen. The five scissor boat s at the back started to gather, and the boiler of the Zhiyuan Warship began to cool down, as their speed gradually slowed down.

Kevin and his technical team, covered in perspiration, rushed out from the boiler room. The folders contained first-hand data, and all the good and bad points from the Zhiyuan Warship were grasped by.

"Passed..." I can give you 70 points for our battleship! "There was no problem with the extreme navigation boiler just now. That's great …"

Just as he ran onto the deck, Kevin's words were cut off. The folder in his hands fell into the rain, and Cai Bixia ran out of the room and snatched it away.

Kevin pointed at Lin Zhen and roared, "What are you doing? I asked you what you were doing... "

Lin Zhen was holding onto a gun, he had just blown up a sailor's head, and there were another five or six soldiers behind him who were holding onto their rifles and firing at the survivors in the sea.

As the waves rose and fell, survivors were holding buckets and wooden planks. The soldiers were begging but showed no mercy as they used their rifles to kill the survivors one after another.

"They are not soldiers, they are only innocent sailors! How can you slaughter civilians? This is a crime... "

Lin Zhen scratched his ears and said indifferently, "Then what do you think we should do? Help them aboard the ship, then a cup of hot coffee, and finally the rain stopped and they were sent to the Marshall Islands? Let them pass our secret to the English and French and encircle and annihilate us? "

"Put away your merciful heart, do you know when the French did not declare war on the Ryukyu? Did you see when they bombed the civilian area with artillery? When the Army came into the city to insult our Chinese women, what pity did you have for them? "

"Don't think that war is just a battle between Knights. This world is no longer the Middle Age. The war has evolved into two peoples, two countries from top to bottom of the comprehensive national power strangulation... "Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. The war in the future will be waged in any industry in the country. The victor will not be decided unless the last bit of strength is squeezed out!"

Lin Zhen waved his hands, "You don't understand, you are just an engineer. The rise of the Prussian people has indeed had your hard work, but you will never be able to become the Leader.

With that, Lin Zhen raised his hand and shot. A sailor who was trying to escape on the water was hit in the back of his head and became a floating corpse.

Xiang Ying walked to Kevin's side and said indifferently, "The war between Prussia and France is on the verge of breaking out, did you really not sense it at all?"

"It seems that the French have the upper hand for the time being, but is Prime Minister Bismark the one who is at a disadvantage? I firmly believe that the entire situation is already under the control of the Prime Minister, and Napoleon III will lose without a doubt! "

"The Prime Minister of the conflict in the Strait of Dover has given way. The Prime Minister of the crisis of the Spanish heir has given way... "Don't you see anything amiss at all?"

Kevin was an engineer, he did not understand military politics at all. When he heard Xiang Ying's words, his eyes were filled with confusion: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Xiang Ying laughed: The Prime Minister is showing weakness, this is a typical strategy to lure the enemy into a deeper corner. He is carefully preparing for the trap, step by step, allowing the French Emperor to press closer in an enraged state. I think the final result will be him forcing Napoleon III to misspeak, making the entire German Nationality share a common enemy.

"Because only by inciting national hatred can the loose German Federation have a united national spirit … Mr. Kevin! "The war has already begun, Prussia and France are now on the eve of the war, and it is estimated that by now all the weapons factories are at full capacity, and all the reserve personnel will have received the secret order to move their troops!"

"Of course, in a war between two great European powers, without a year or two of preparation, it would be impossible for them to fight each other, but the secret battle has already begun … Nothing we did today was wrong! "

Kevin went silent. Although he was not good at scheming and scheming, he was not stupid. He had already understood Xiang Ying's analysis very clearly in the blink of an eye.

France and Prussia were sworn enemies for a hundred years. Washing out of the shame Napoleon's family brought to the Germany was the dream of every single one of them. The war against France had long since become their common aspiration.

However, Kevin could only sigh and say, "I'm not a politician, and I don't understand military affairs, so there's no way I can stop you guys …" However, I still think this kind of behavior is despicable, immoral! Does the war have to lose its noble chivalry in the end? "

After saying that, Kevin turned and went back into the cabin to sulk, leaving Lin Zhen and the rest who were awkwardly standing on the deck, just at that moment, they realised that the wind had suddenly stopped, and a ball of bright moonlight was scattered on the ocean surface. If only the sea surface did not have the remains, otherwise it would have been extremely beautiful.

"It's already four-thirty in the morning. We have to sweep the battlefield and not leave a single survivor alive. All ships are to inspect the damage. We have to leave after two hours …" "This is the main golden channel, it's too dangerous. After the storm stops, countless merchant ships will pass by …"

The map was spread out and Xiang Ying and the others began to map. The location of the fleet was west of the Marshall Islands, which was the golden trade road that led to Europe in the Caribbean Sea.

"Cai Bixia! What's the situation with the Zhiyuan Warship? " Xiang Ying asked without raising his head.

"After last night's four shots from the main cannon and the boiler's pressurization test, 16 knots of high-speed cruising … All in all, the various systems have been tested. However, there was an accident during the last main cannon launch … "

"Just now, Professor Kevin had personally discovered that there were six linked rivets on the dragon bone that had slightly loosened. The initial judgement was the effect of the recoil from the two main cannons simultaneously firing … "The data has been recorded. I suggest that from now on the main cannons of the ship head stop firing together and always choose a single shot …"

The people listened to Cai Bixia's report as the pen in her hand shortened the time. This was the most precious information they had, how to design the second Iron-armored Ship and how to upgrade it was all about this data.

As the sailors cleaned up the battlefield, the tense atmosphere within the Captain's Room gradually turned into the east horizon. A new day had begun.

At the end of the meeting, Lin Zhen suggested, "This unexpected encounter allowed us to discover so many problems. It can be seen that it is impossible for new weapons and equipment to not be tested thoroughly … Just like the problem with the recoil from the main cannon, what if the dragonbones are broken or deformed during a high intensity battle? "

"We have to be responsible for the Liuzhu Military and Civilians! We have to be responsible for the prime minister too! "Money must not be spent in vain, it must not be wasted!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, they all understood Lin Zhen's hidden message. In the end, the young Liu Anchen could not help but speak out, "Master, what do you mean? Could it be? Are you going to train with the enemy's merchant ships all the way? "

"Oh my god, you want to kill your way to South America?!"
