Super Chief

Julian Luc was the admiral mentioned by Louis XVI. When he came to Guadeloupe, it was naturally after Louis XVI ascended the throne.

　　Louis XVI became the French emperor in 1774, so when Luc came to Guadeloupe, it was the years when the Cherokee was recuperating before the Northern Expedition.

　　Luc doesn't know much about the Yanhuang tribe. Even if the Cherokee tribe chopped vegetables and melons and cleaned up those tribes in the Great Lakes region in 1775, Luc, who has been on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, is not very clear.

Since the end of the Seven Years’ War, the French colonies in the New World of North America, French Louisiana and New France, were ceded to the British, the chain of interests of the French in the New World of North America has been gradually cut off, with the message of the French in the New World. Getting less and less.

　　 Luc has heard that in the previous years, the French army that had not yet evacuated from the New World was hit by a local indigenous tribe, but he did not know that the Cherokee had unified the Indian tribes on the New World in North America.

Therefore, in Luc’s mind, although the warriors of the indigenous tribes of the New World are fierce and fearless in fighting, it is impossible for the indigenous people with spears and bows to defeat European soldiers with thermal weapons, let alone. Deal with the incredible sailing battleship!

　　 By the way, the news from the Continental Army clearly told Major General Luc that the squadron led by Antoine had been sunk by an indigenous Indian tribe named Yanhuang tribe.

　　 And the military power of that Indian tribe was extremely terrifying. The three sailing battleships led by Antoine, who hadn't resisted for ten minutes, were sunk alive by a terrifying artillery.

　　 Although he didn't believe what the letter said at first, Luc, as a senior general, after careful analysis of some things, he believed that Antoine was indeed buried in the Chesapeake Bay.

　　Luc wanted to take the fleet to see how powerful the native Indians really are, but unfortunately, the French navy’s warships can’t get close to the coastline of the New World of North America, otherwise they will be considered provocative by the British.

　　 Although the French Navy has the advantage of warships, the number of warships is far from that of the British.

　　 At this time, the French Navy only had less than fifty capital ships, but what about the British? Now the entire British Navy has a total of 96 battleships of level 3 or higher, 115 battleships of level 4 or cruisers, and 182 other warships.

　　 This is a pretty terrifying number. Even if the British warships are a bit behind the French and Spanish warships, there are more ants that can kill the elephants.

　　 The number of battleships owned by the British, especially the number of battleships, is almost the same as the number of battleships currently owned by France and Spain. Therefore, it is obviously very irrational to provoke the British at this time.

　　Luc knows very well that the Guadeloupe Fleet has a large number of capital ships, and if they are dispatched collectively, they will inevitably be discovered by the nearby British Caribbean Fleet. If this angers the British, not only will their Guadeloupe fleet be in danger, the British may also take the opportunity to attack Guadeloupe.

　　 This is the worst thing.

　　 Guadeloupe is absolutely not to be lost!

　　 It is precisely because of this concern that Luc has not led the fleet to the Chesapeake Bay.

　　 But it is different now. Just a few days ago, the great French Empire declared war on Britain again!

　　 After the Seven Years’ War ended, the peace was maintained for fifteen years, and it was just broken.

But Luc was not afraid of this, because Luc knew very well that the Continental Army alone contained most of the energy and strength of the British in the New World, and it is said that the Spaniards would also join the US-French alliance against the British. Declare war.

The fortress of Gibraltar is a thorn in the hearts of the Spaniards that can never be removed. In the past, the British were strong, and neither the Spaniards nor the French could not offend the British, but now the British are too busy to take care of themselves. Is the best time.

Once the Spaniards and the motherland's fleet unite against the fortress of Gibraltar, then the main force of the British navy will inevitably be pinned on the other side of the proofing. By then, the Guadeloupe fleet under his command will become the entire Caribbean and even the North Atlantic One of the most powerful fleets.

　　 Julian Luc, who was born well, quickly analyzed the current situation, so he led the main force of the fleet out of the port without hesitation.

　　The Guadeloupe fleet has a total of fifteen battleships, of which seven are battleships above level three, and the remaining eight battleships are all four-level ships, that is, cruisers.

The three battleships led by Antoine were sunk by the **** native Indian tribe the previous summer. Now there are four battleships and eight cruisers left in the fleet, so for this attack, Luc was in Guadeloupe. The island only left four cruisers, and he brought out all the remaining battleships.

Julian Luc is now very eager to avenge Henry Antoine. He wants to attack the **** Native Indian tribe before the fleet starts to execute the North Atlantic route plan to harass the British ~www.readwn.com~ Shelling!

　　 The blood debt must be repaid with the blood of the enemy!

　　Luc doesn’t think that as many as 112 36-pounder guns on these four battleships are vegetarian!

　　 Now the main guns in French battleships are 36-pounder guns (French pounds, which weigh more than British pounds), which are long cannons in the Valerian system. This long cannon of the Valerian system fired a solid projectile with a range of more than two kilometers.

　　 Although this long gun has an effective range of only a few hundred meters under the condition of ensuring shooting accuracy, the shelling of a fixed indigenous tribe is completely different from the firing of warships between the two sides during naval battles.

　　 In naval battles, in order to ensure the accuracy of artillery shooting, the warships would pull closer to each other to fire within a few hundred yards. In many cases, the distance between the warships of the two sides was only more than 200 yards.

　　 But that is to ensure that the artillery can hit more local warships.

　　 And how big is the area of ​​a tribe? Therefore, to shell a large tribe, there is no need to get close to the shelling at all, but only need to fire two kilometers away.

Even if the aboriginal tribe had a terrifying fortress cannon, Luc would not believe that at a distance of two kilometers, his fleet was constantly moving at sea, the enemy’s The fort cannon can hit its own battleship.

　　 That is simply impossible, because there is no artillery that can maintain shooting accuracy even two kilometers away in this world!
