Lin Jianzhang immediately led a wide-character destroyer fleet to go to the seas outside the sea.

After the end of the battle against Neon, the Beiyang Fleet was naturally still the main force, possessing all the battleships, but the Nanyang Fleet also began to strengthen. Their combat power was mainly destroyers and battlecruisers.

The old Dingyuan class and Guangyuan class ironclad ships were officially decommissioned or reduced to target ships, while cruisers were converted into merchant ships or escort ships.

Of course, the destroyers manufactured in the late 1990s are still in service. The fleets dominated by destroyers and battle cruisers do not seem to have strong combat effectiveness, but they have quick response capabilities and play an important role in protecting the long coastline. When aircraft carriers join After that, the combat power will explode.

Because battleships will soon usher in their final glory, when the next war starts in ten or twenty years, it must already be the world of aircraft carriers and aircraft.

The destroyer has unique advantages whether it is dealing with aircraft or underwater devil "submarine."

Now the Empire has built five Yellow Emperor (Five Emperor)-class battleships, based on the South Dakota-class battleships, which greatly enhanced the strength of the navy. Its displacement reached 35,000 tons. It has three triple-mounted 45-caliber 406 main guns and 8 155 The secondary gun, the main gun has a range of more than 33 kilometers.The battleship that belonged to the penultimate tier of the previous time, because the power system is slightly inferior, the speed can only reach 25 knots, and other places are not inferior.

This is also one of the reasons why John Bull is worried about the Qing Navy. Although they have a quantitative advantage, they have also discovered that the strength of battleships of the same level will be slightly inferior, not to mention the battleships of the next level.So they are also hurrying to start the next level of battleship.

The Beiyang (sea) fleet is already comparable to the navy of the Will Army Empire, let alone suppressing the neon that is frantically starting various levels of battleships. In the view of the Qing Dynasty, the level is to let them build ten Dahe-class battleships. After using it, the naval quality of the two sides is not at the same level, not to mention that Neon could not build ten Dahe-class battleships.

The Qing Dynasty will build the next level of the Five Saint-class battleships depending on the situation. This situation is the process of aircraft carriers.

The moonlight gradually faded, and dawn was about to come.

On A Sanyo, the ten Cantonese cruisers of the Imperial Navy's South Seas Fleet were breaking through the storm and advancing quickly.

The soldiers took obedience to orders as their bounden duty. They were called up overnight to set off. At this time, he was not at all tired. His country’s merchant ship was sunk by John Bull’s navy. Then the ship that sank the strategic material delivered by John’s country would be a tooth for a tooth. Of course.

"Order the fleet to disperse and search for John's ships on the sea."

On the destroyer Guang 30, Rear Admiral Lin Jianzhang gave the order.

After all, this is the route from the three countries to the Suez Canal. It is one of the busiest sea routes in the world. When the war began, this route became more busy. Almost all ships were confiscated to transport strategic materials.

The three countries' iron, copper and other non-ferrous metals, food and other resources are constantly being transported through this waterway to the country of John as their war capital. It can be said that this route is called their lifeline.

The three kingdoms of Azerbaijan have become the first of their three major colonies (Australia, Maple Leaf Country), occupying the most important position.Qishu eBook www.qishu520.com

Since it hasn’t been long since the incident happened, the three countries haven’t received a warning notice. After all, their ambassadors are about to leave, and they need to find out their reaction.

This route is still extremely busy, and there are even no escort warships. After all, since the last time the cruiser squadron of the Will Army was defeated, the Will Army can only use submarines to attack.

At this time, the submarine's offensive capability is extremely limited and can only operate in the coastal waters, and there is no threat to the Indian Ocean.

Finding a target on such a route is undoubtedly a very simple matter. Soon they locked a fleet of John's country that was 12 nautical miles east of them.

This is a fleet of eight merchant ships. Each merchant ship’s pool is very deep, full of grain, steel ingots, copper ingots, and a large amount of cotton cloth. As long as these things are shipped to John’s homeland, they can be manufactured. More guns, cannons, and even battleships.

It is precisely by relying on these resources and hundreds of years of accumulation that they can consume the strength of the will of the will in the continuous failure, knowing to exhaust his vitality.

"Order the fleet, turn, and speed up to get closer to that fleet. The meter will buy you five merchant ships, and you will shoot at a distance of one kilometer, and you can sink them without additional attacks."

Lin Jianzhang ordered that for the destroyer, their main guns are only 105 guns, so it's better to get away from the opponent. After all, the closer the enemy is, the greater the power. Fortunately, these are only merchant ships, if they are five thousand-ton iron armors. For warships, they have nothing to do.

"Mr. Albert! Monkey's battleship."

The sailor on the watchtower noticed the situation in the distance.

"What are the monkeys' warships afraid of? They are not pirates! When our fleet defeats the will soldiers, they won't be able to come here."

A trace of contempt flashed across Albert's face, who was enjoying the sea breeze on the deck.In his subconscious, the world is still theirs, and the army of will who challenged the imperial hegemony will soon be defeated, not to mention the Qing Dynasty that has just risen.

As the leader of this caravan, he can be said to be proud of the spring breeze. He has earned a lot of auspicious pounds through traveling back and forth between the three countries of Azerbaijan and the mainland, and his wealth has tripled in just two years.

"No! No! They came directly towards us! It's already within three kilometers of quietness."

The lookout yelled frantically. At this time, not only him, but also many sailors discovered the anomaly.

"What do these monkeys want to do?"

Albert also realized that something was wrong. Of course, he started to panic when he raised his binoculars to observe the warships carefully.

And when he saw through the telescope that the muzzle on the Qing warship began to rise, he almost fell to the ground...
