Holy Roman Empire

In the vast blue ocean, waves continually rushed into the rocks, hitting the rocks, and roaring, and splashing white foam.

The Russian Major General Popov stood on the splint and listened to this moving movement with great enthusiasm.These days, he has brought out many pirates with the Russian navy, and his personal pockets have bulged.

The California government is very generous with this "guardian". Not only do all the loot belong to them personally, but they also offer attractive bounty.

Kill a pirate for $ 50 and arrest a pirate for $ 500.Obviously, the Californian government is still worried about the Russians killing good, so they adjusted the amount of rewards and encouraged the Russians to catch alive with high bonuses.

U.S. Navy Captain Magill said excitedly: "Your Excellency, San Clementi Island is in front of you. Three days ago, a group of pirates suddenly occupied this place, which seriously threatened our maritime security.

Magill hated pirates, not without reason.The number of US warships on the West Coast is limited, and they are gradually exhausted in the confrontation with pirates.

The Navy's failure to win pirates has become a shame for the US Navy, and it is also a shame for his military career.However, the main force of the US Navy is now on the east coast, and the federal government does not dare to divide its troops.

The few shipyards on the West Coast have not been able to escape pirate attacks, and it is currently difficult to repair ships, let alone build warships.

Now I have to pin my hopes on the Russians. Although the Russian fleet led by Popov is a little old, it is also stronger than Magill's original warship.

Before the outbreak of the Civil War, the US government did not attach importance to armaments at all, and the limited navy was also placed on the east coast.The West Coast has not developed in this era, and there is no threat from foreign enemies, so it is naturally ignored.

On the entire West Coast, the total size of the US Navy ’s warships is less than 20, and the average age of the ships is 10 years +, let alone the combat effectiveness.

Of course, the navy is a navy after all, always better than pirates.Despite the support behind these pirates, everyone is not crazy enough to sell warships to pirates.

At the beginning of the war, they were also able to suppress the privately plundered fleet (pirate).However, with the increase in the number of battles, these warships were gradually consumed in the war, and finally they were beaten down by pirates.

Now the Russians are helping. At the strong request of the California government, the US Navy and the Russians have formed a coalition to prepare for the destruction of the pirates entrenched in the Channel Islands.

Major General Popov looked at Magill contemptuously and then said indifferently: "Relax, just a bunch of pirates."

The confident Popov did not know what the enemy was about to face, so he stepped into the ghost gate step by step.

...

A small pirate boss said flatly: "Major, our people are ready, just waiting for the Russians to hook."

"Shut up, Will, you give me a fool. Now call me Captain. If your identity is revealed, your boy will wait to go to the military court!" British Major Gurney scolded harshly.

This is not a joke. The Royal Navy pretends to be a pirate, and if it is transmitted, it will definitely cause an earthquake.

In short, the gangsters in the rear will never recognize their identity, this black pot can only resist themselves.

If it were not for the Russians to come and break everyone's financial path, they would not have done so excessively.

The annihilation of a fleet of Russians in the name of pirates, of course, struck the tsarist government in the face, and it also caused suspicion from outsiders.

Most of the pirates on the West Coast were driven by the Royal Navy from the Indian and South Ocean regions, and the fighting power was naturally scum.

If they have the strength to wipe out this Russian fleet and have landed a long way to sack San Francisco, how could it be safe to rob the past merchant ships in minutes?

Will, who responded, quickly changed his mouth: "Yes, Captain!"

Gurney glared at him, and said angrily: "Send someone to notify the other captains to prepare for this farce. They are indispensable to them. Without professional participation, how can we prove the strength of our pirate alliance?"

"Pirate League" This is the Blaster who the British found out for this incident.If a group of scattered pirates killed the Russian fleet, no one would believe it.

In order not to let the outside world doubt, the black hands behind the scenes launched the Pirate Alliance.This explanation is much more reasonable, although the pirates have limited strength, but ants often bite the elephant.

As long as there was no obvious evidence left, even if the Russians guessed that they had received their secret calculations, John Bull would be able to take it.

...

Through the telescope, Major Guerny could see the Russian fleet approaching.The nature that greeted them is really a pirate. As the Royal Navy version of the "pirate" ambushing on the back side of the island, it is naturally not possible to show up in advance.

As long as the fighting started, Guerny did not worry about the Russians running away.Who made the tsarist government poor?From the outbreak of the Near East War to the present, the Russian navy is almost stagnant.

Of course, Admiral Myshkov, who came from the Army, also made great contributions.

Since he promoted the army exercise code in the navy, the Russian navy's land combat capability has skyrocketed. Even because the navy has better food, the boys have a good body, and their fighting power even exceeds most of the Russian army.

Regarding the navy's land combat capability, it is estimated that only Prussia, which directly transforms the army into navy, can be comparable. Other countries must go to the Marine Corps.

Fortunately, the British were ready to fight the Russians at sea. If the Russians decided to fight after landing on the shore, they would understand what the navy's peak land combat capability is.

Regarding the speed of warships, which gave Major Guerny the tsar's government could not bear to replace all the warships with steam engines, which required a large investment and the economy was very uneconomical.

Even the wealthy John Bull only transformed some warships.Windsurfing is still one of the main driving forces of this era, and everyone is always willing to use cheaper power when they are usually in a hurry.

In order to wipe out the Russians, John Bull sent the Clippers with steam engines.When operating at full speed, most of these warships can run at a speed of 14-17 knots.

In this good day when the breeze is blowing, the Russian warship can run at a speed of 10 knots, even if God bless it, this is already the gap of the times.

Seeing the pirates in a panic, Major General Popov ordered very experienced: "Let's attack!"

Looking at the scattered pirates, Major General Popov was very fulfilled, as if this were the happiest time in his life.

Without any hesitation, the Russian-American joint fleet pursued in the direction of the pirates' escape, and the danger was approaching them.

Soon he came to the corner of the island, a signal was sent from the pirate ship, and the "pirates" lurking in the north suddenly killed.

The roaring artillery sound instantly hit Major General Popov, how could the enemy ambush?

Waiting for him to think clearly about this issue, the Russian-US joint fleet was in absolute disadvantage on the battlefield, and the pirates who had fled the country now joined the battle.

Formation, Shenma's no longer exists.When pursuing the pirates, the Russian-US joint fleet swarmed up, and has now been in a mess after being suddenly attacked.

After realizing that something was wrong, the experienced American warship spontaneously started to run.This is the experience they have summed up in recent years.

Seeing comrades running away, Popov was furious.However, they helped the Americans to fight, but when they were in danger, the Americans ran away without saying a word.

"Withdraw!" Popov ordered with his teeth clenched.

Now I'm running, and it's luck to be able to run off half of the warships.The artillery fire was still roaring, and the "Moscow" warship was hit five times in a row, and finally slowly died down at the end of his life.

No need for Popov to give orders, everyone on the ship spontaneously abandoned the ship.Everyone squeezed on the lifeboat, holding a white flag slowly out of the battlefield.
