Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Just when Xiao Letian had broken all the shackles in his heart, preparing to fly freely, he had never thought that those last few disciples far away in the Atlantic Ocean would very quickly stir up a huge trouble for him.

On the surface, it seemed like the Zhiyuan Warship had already become the ghost lone wolf of the Atlantic Ocean. However, in reality, Prussia's intelligence services could still receive regular messages from the ghost lone wolf.

There were a lot of merchant ships in Prussia during this period of time, and almost all of them had intelligence personnel s boarding them. Furthermore, Xiang Ying would exchange the latest information with these merchant ships every time he met them.

Although Xiao Letian didn't know the exact location of the Zhiyuan Warship, he was clear about everything that Xiang Ying and the others did in the Azores. Furthermore, from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Letian was impressed by these bold young people.

Isn't it just a few European merchant ships? They would sink if they were struck, and training their troops with the enemy or even feeding the enemy would all be done by smart people.

It was a pity that there was not a 100% chance that the telegraph message between Europe and Asia could reach the message instantly, so Xiao Letian was unable to give the order to the Zhiyuan Warship.

Xiao Letian never thought that Xiang Ying and the others would be so daring. The Zhiyuan Warship s were not like what he had imagined, they were just sweeping a few European merchant ships on the way back. Xiang Ying and the others had actually taken the initiative to search for prey on the golden channel.

If the route of the Zhiyuan Warship was marked out on the map, we would be able to clearly see that the Zhiyuan Warship was walking on an irregular folded line and not heading south.

Soldiers were addicted to winning, when the English and French merchant ships sank to the bottom of the sea and when the boxes of expensive gold jewelry became the Zhiyuan Warship's spoils of war, these young people who did not know when to advance became gamblers.

In the past, there was still Kevin who could urge them on the side, but after Kevin was also convinced, the Prussians and the Chinese joined forces from the beginning to end, and Kevin and the rest were even more warlike than the Chinese.

The Prussian also had a wave of suppressed resentment in his heart. They were all noble races with thousands of years of history in Europe, they were all families that had been separated from each other since the middle ages. Why would they let your English and French eat all of their meat? We can't even have soup.

The Germany suffered the most in the 30 years of war. Even though Napoleon was the tyrant of Europe, he still beat Germany to death. There were still Russian at the north who were always eyeing him covetously.

This was really a perfect match, two elites from different repressive races were gathered together on the same boat, and it was even a Steel battleship that was way ahead of this era's 20s. This kind of dream-like arrangement made the wild ambition in their hearts grow crazily, and their impulses replaced reason, and their hot-bloodedness instead of calmness and steadiness.

In a short span of 12 days, five merchant ships had mysteriously disappeared, and the legend of the ghost ship had already spread amongst the fishermen in Praia. Countless fishermen swore solemnly to God that they had truly seen the ghost ship that was as large as a mountain, and the huge cannon that could only be operated by ghosts.

The position of the Cape Verde Islands was extremely important, as it was one of the most gold-plated channels in Central South America Continent. The route between Northwest Africa and South America Brazil led from here. The area where pirates roamed frequently since ancient times was naturally filled with all sorts of ghosts and legends, and ghost ship were one of them.

Many of the merchant ships originally had no plans to dock at the Cape Verde Islands, but now they had to take a break. Their goal was not to replenish their food and water, but to set out in teams.

A small fleet of two did not dare to set sail at all. No one would dare to leave the port without collecting more than ten ships. At this time, the Cape Verde Islands were not a colony, but an official territory of the Portugal, equivalent to a province or an enclave of the ocean.

Of course, the Portuguese could not ignore the trade being affected, a few dilapidated Sail battleship began to provide escort protection for the caravan, of course it was limited to a small area.

Fortunately, the Portuguese knew his own limitations and didn't arrogantly want to hang and kill that ghost ship. Otherwise, it was very possible that the Sino-French Oceanic War would change its name to the Sino-French Battle of Portugal. At that time, the outdated navy of the Portugal honestly didn't feel like it existed anymore.

The Zhiyuan Warship did not want to clash with the Portuguese, and had only relied on its high speed to dodge, so it did not reveal itself. However, Xiang Ying and the others did not expect that a cunning fox had already rushed over from the North Atlantic and arrived in the sea area north of Cape Verde.

On the deck of the Glory, bare-chested soldiers were currently dragging a rope net with all their might. There were even five divers at sea who were treading on the water looking up at them. "Higher, higher, very good …"

The rope net brought Hai Shui to the deck, where it was hung. A piece of worn-out, cylindrical wood caught Molière's interest.

"Oh God? This is a main mast, look at the new stubble on it, it was broken by the shockwave from the explosion … The most valuable part is that there is even a brand-new shrapnel embedded inside! "

Molière took a pincer from the aide and struggled to pull out the piece of copper. When it was laid on the deck, General Bruce exclaimed, "My God! How could it be so big … Is this really the main cannon with many large caliber? "

Molière was also moved, "This should be the most advanced stationary cannon. The gunpowder is wrapped in a copper pillar and the projectile is embedded in the front … "He's not afraid of turbulence, nor is he worried about the damp. Furthermore, he has a standard amount of gunpowder, so the commander can clearly calculate the range and angle of each shot. The accuracy of each shot will greatly increase …"

"My God! The cost of this projectile is three times that of an ordinary sub-packed ammunition... When did Prussia become so rich? I understand, this is money given by the Chinese people, only that crazy Xiao Letian would be willing to invest so much in armaments! "

"Deputy!" Send a telegram to your home country at once... We cannot let those politicians slow down the progress of our French military's equipment upgrade. Tell our emperor, if we are unwilling to spend money to list the most advanced equipment, we will lose the next war! "

"To the west of Cape Verde... Looking at the direction of the ocean current and the direction of the wind, these wreckage have all drifted here from the southwest! "

"Five miles apart, the battleships are lined up in a row to search for traces of enemy ships …" Send a signal to Qatar, tell them we're here! "

On the vast Atlantic Ocean, French battleship with a body of metallic luster began to change formations. On the ocean waves, there were always scattered wreckage floating up and down.
