"Damn Qinggou. On the surface, Li Hongzhang and us mediate to delay time, but secretly dispatched troops to prepare to counterattack!"

Ruferi threw the telegram in his hand on the table in anger. He was in a very good mood. After a big victory, according to the previous routine, it was the Qing Dynasty seeking peace, going down, and then opening the trade port and building roads with compensation. , Everything is logical.And the Qing country sent Li Hongzhang to negotiate as he imagined.

It was just that all these illusions were broken by this telegram. The Qing army prevented the advance of the Gaul army and began to exchange fire.

"These monkeys must learn a lesson, let the imperial navy give them some color!"

He gave orders with a gloomy expression.

A telegram was sent to the far east, allowing the Gallic army to launch a full-scale offensive, with enough results to force people to submit.

Zhenhai Port

At this time, almost all the fleets were docked here. In addition to the "Super Brave" and "Yangwei" who completed the escort mission, there are also the "Guangyuan" and "Guangwu" two behemoths originally ordered by Turkey, and even the 7000-ton class. Dingyuan ships are parked here.

In addition, the "Kaiji" ironclad ship produced by the Mawei Shipyard, and the "Nanchen" and "Nanrui" cruisers that have just returned to China at the end of last year, three two-thousand-ton warships.

It can be said that the top combat power of the entire navy has been hit.

The shipbuilding ideas of Geely and the Will Army are completely different. The Geely people are looking for speed and the power of cannons. The speed of super bravery and “power” reaches 16 knots. The Will Army pays attention to the degree of armor protection, so the Will Army builds warships. The speed will be slightly slower, the two cruisers only have 13 knots, but the firepower is very powerful.

According to this world, it is believed that as the tonnage of warships and the caliber of ship-borne artillery become larger and larger, the role of the fleet is not only to protect the route and interception route, but also to attack the enemy's coastline.According to these two kinds of left and right, two kinds of warships were derived respectively, namely iron armored ships and cruisers.

And countries have begun to build larger and faster battleships, and they are now in the secret stage. Once they appear, they don't know what kind of giant it will be.

At this time all the pipe belts and Ding Ruchang are gathering together.

There are Chen Jili, Ye Chen, and Lin Senlin.Xu Shoushan and Lu Han.Lin Taizeng and Deng Shichang, it can be said that in addition to training in the country of will and taking over several battleships in Zhenyuan, Lin Yongsheng and Liu Buchan, the future navy elites have basically arrived.

"Admiral! Why don't we go back to Beiyang but stay here for so long?" Heshun Novel www.heshun168.com

Deng Shichang asked puzzledly.

After the Beiyang Fleet had finished escorting the army, it was supposed to go directly north to guard the Bohai Bay, but did not want to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It turned into the Nanyang Naval Port at night and did a good job of concealment and security.

"The emperor wants Mawei Shipyard not to lose it, so let us stand by here."

Ding Ruchang saw that the time was almost there, and simply stated his purpose.

"What? Your lord, you mean that the Gauls may have done something to the Mawei Shipyard? That's right, the Mawei Shipyard is already capable of building two thousand-ton iron armored ships. It is a shame to be destroyed."

Lin Taizeng nodded at this moment and said, he is a descendant of Lin Zexu, and he still has a certain prestige in the navy.

"You underestimated our emperor, he sent so many people to the Kingdom of Will, just to build two thousand-ton warships? Keep the Mawei Shipyard, there will be eight thousand tons, or even more than 10,000 tons. Of the battleship."

Ding Ruchang smiled and said, as the admiral of the navy, he naturally has access to something, and within five years, Jintian and Mawei must have the ability to build 10,000-ton battleships.

"In the future, will I build a huge ship by myself?"

"Great. Although the Dingyuan ship is now the first ship around the sea, there is still a big gap between the number and the Gili Army of the Gaul Army, and it is controlled by others. There is something that can be built by itself!"

When several people heard it, they knew that the iron armored ships were all very excited and full of expectations.

"My lord, are you saying that it is all arranged by the emperor? Isn't it too hasty, the Gauls don't necessarily attack the ponytail, Wan has been rushing..."

Lin Taizeng is relatively conservative, he thought of some possibilities.

"Okay! Time is almost here, our emperor is not something we can guess, just do our job well!"

Ding Ruchang stood up and began to order the ships to replenish artillery shells and daily necessities. He remembered Li Hongzhang's words, "You don't need to think about the emperor's order, just execute it!"

The huge fleet began to rotate slowly, and disappeared in Zhenhai Port after an hour... ..
