When these John Bull sailors observed the muzzle raising, they were still frightened.

It’s not decades ago anymore. Gone are the days when merchant ships could be called naval ships with a few cannons.

There is a fundamental difference between warships and merchant ships, and the first difference between them is naturally in firepower.

The second difference is in the armor. Even the armor of the destroyer with the worst protection is higher than that of a merchant ship whose purpose is to be strong enough to have a load capacity.

The third is a variety of professional military equipment. As the war continues, all parties have now begun to consciously protect their own technology. Naturally, the things that can flow into the civilian population are naturally inferior, and some technologies are even completely controlled. It can only be used temporarily in the military.

"God! Are these monkeys going to declare war with the Sunburst Empire? They are going to shell us!"

The people on the merchant ship began to exclaim that it was hard for them to believe the scene before them.

"No! This is definitely a misunderstanding! Send them a telegram that we are the merchant ship of John's country! They can't attack us!"

Albert yelled frantically at his hand, asking them to send a telegram to the Qing navy on the opposite side through the public code.

In his opinion, John and Daqing have been in peace, even in recent years, they are still cooperating, and they should not declare war without any warning.

"Order the ships, targets Nos. 1 to 5, to fire freely! Reduce the rate of fire! Give them some time to escape! I want them to watch their ship sink a little bit."

Huang Jianzhang directly ordered the telegram without even going to see where the staff officer came from.

Because John Bull’s navy had been involved in the rescue, the telegram from above stated that the crew should not be slaughtered. Then he would give people a time to respond. As for those who were unlucky enough to be killed by the bombing, it would not matter if he was.

"Yes!"

The messenger officer immediately relayed his order.

"Boom! Boom!"

Just one minute later, ten destroyers fired one after another, all of which were 105mm main guns and 75mm secondary guns.

Although the distance between the two sides has gradually approached one kilometer, the heavy machine gun on the destroyer was not activated. After all, this thing cannot sink a 5,000-ton merchant ship, but it is a "weapon of mass destruction" for the people on the merchant ship. Book Bar www.tiantianshuba.com

For a time, there was a rumble of artillery shells on the vast Indian Ocean where there had been no war for many years. The artillery shells continued to fall around the John Bull Merchant Ship, splashing a water column of more than ten meters, and a considerable part of the artillery shells had even hit the John’s merchant ship.

"God, has the Halal declared war with us?"

"Turn! Turn! Let's leave at once!"

"Damn it to send a domestic telegram! We were attacked by the Qing Navy!"

"What about our navy? Why didn't they patrol nearby today."

The merchant ships of John's country have become a mess, and many people have desperate expressions on their faces. They even expect cruisers that can only appear once in a few days.

Although John’s has the presence of the Indian Ocean Fleet, in the face of the pressure of the navy of the Will Army, they have transferred all the world’s advanced or certain tonnage warships to Europe. What remains here are only some old cruisers. I just love you.

Not only is the speed at full speed, but because there has not been a single omission in the past few years, the so-called escort and patrol are nothing more than routine.

Soon, the merchant ships of John’s country were shot one after another. Because these merchant ships had more than 5,000 tons after all, they often needed several shots to sink them completely, and due to the artillery power and the tonnage of the merchant ships, the sinking time was often It will take longer.

So the Johns were given the most reaction time. Five merchant ships sank from the ballistic trajectory, and it took almost fifteen to twenty minutes.

After sinking these five merchant ships, the Imperial Navy and Navy left in a big way, but did not slaughter those who fell into the water and pursue the other three merchant ships, letting the Johns under him breathe a sigh of relief.

The imperial navy is still very principled. The five ships on the command are to sink five ships, never more than one, and not less than one.

"Damn! These monkeys are ready to bear the anger of our navy."

A gloomy Albert on a lifeboat said viciously, looking at the direction the Qing Navy was leaving.

These Johns were mostly on lifeboats shortly after the merchant ships were hit, and few fell into the water. Except for a few unlucky ghosts who were killed by artillery shells, there were no major casualties...

At the same time, when the Qing navy launched an attack on John's merchant ships and sank them.

The car of Sir John Zhu Erdian, the ambassador to Qing Dynasty, quietly drove on the way to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, he was also a big head. He was ordered to communicate with the authorities and deal with the sinking of the John Navy that occurred the day before. The matter of clearing merchant ships.

Based on his understanding of Da Qing, this matter could never be good, but what he did not expect was that revenge would come so quickly...
