C883 Molière who had once again appeared on stage

When the defeated Molière returned to Paris, many angry citizens started shouting for him to be judged. To hang him, France must not allow failure, let alone failure in Asia.

At that time, Major General Bruce, who came back with him, was also imprisoned in a military camp outside of Paris.

But what was strange was that Molière and Bruce had only been imprisoned for a month and then reinstated, the pressure on the French Emperor in the outside world was gone as though they did not see it.

Among them, there were the personal feelings that Napoleon had towards Molière, and at the same time, there were the practical considerations of an emperor. Right now, France understood Xiao Letian the best, and the ones who had exchanged blows with him before were Molière and Bruce.

After leaving the army camp, Napoleon had specially allocated a large amount of intelligence personnel s to Molière. He didn't dare do anything else except complete a mission, dig up all of Xiao Letian's information and destroy him in the end.

From that day onwards, Molière's only goal in life was to kill Xiao Letian.

"I like a Chinese saying, there are no airtight walls in the world. Under the sun, there are always shadows. Through my intelligence analysis, I think it should be a steamboat …"

"Your Majesty, we can take a look at the information that the sailors have brought during this month. Although there is a lot of information on the trash, as long as we compare them, we will still be able to find some clues …"

"Within a month, there were a total of 8 French Merchant Shipping s and 1 British merchant ship that mysteriously disappeared from the Atlantic Ocean. We will arrange the time when they left the port, and then we will arrange the time when the island officials who were preparing to supply these ships but did not receive any feedback. After making a simple estimation, we will be able to deduce a high incidence of accidents …"

Molière opened the map of the Atlantic and sure enough, he used a pencil to draw a gray area that went from north to south.

"Your Majesty, the earliest reports of disappearance came from the Azores. The palace transport ship Yuyan and the Parisian had obviously passed by Barcelona just before the storm. The two Captain s agreed to share a cup of wine at Hero Harbor in the Azores."

"However, Barcelona never saw these two ships again. Not only did the wreckage drift in along the ocean current, but the sailors also identified them as the wreckage of the Yuyan and the Parisian."

"Not only that, but the news that a later American Merchant Shipping brought was even more shocking. When the American Merchant Shipping was sailing through the storm with great difficulty, it had once discovered that there was a loud explosion and a faint flame coming from the northeast. It can be seen that the Yuyan and the Parisian horn were not destroyed by the storm or the ridiculous ghost ship, but were instead attacked by the enemy …"

"This is the beginning of a series of attacks. The Yuyan, the Parisian, the Royal Carriage, the Dolphin, the Lucky Jack … "There is also the British 'Fog Capital'. A total of nine merchant ships have been swallowed by this wolf hiding in the Atlantic Ocean!"

"Azores, Madeira, Azores... "The nine merchant ships all disappeared in this zone, from the south to the north. This means that the warship is heading towards the South Atlantic at high speed. As for the attacks in the Bermuda Sea Area and the Caribbean, that is just a rumor spreading around …"

"We have time, distance, and an area. We can naturally deduce that the average speed of this warship should be over 13 knots and not be affected by the monsoon. Besides the steamer, no other ship can do this …"

"Your Majesty, our Intelligence should be rethinking, there is now a steam battleship in Europe, but we do not know anything about it. This is a grave dereliction of duty!"

Napoleon nodded his head in gratitude, "You are right, when all these factors are combined together, only the steam power's battleship is able to do this … I have to add that the speed of this ship cannot be only 13 knots, it should be even faster! "

One must know that out of the nine missing merchant ships, three of them are the latest type of scissor boat s, and their speed can go up to 18 knots. Ordinary warships are simply unable to catch up with them, and even if these ships can't beat the pirates, it's still easy for them to escape.

Molière shook his head: "It's indeed scary. Right now, the most advanced steamers in Europe are only flying at around 14 knots, can it reach 18 knots? I doubt it... "To me, I'm more willing to accept the conjecture that this battleship has a new cannon!"

"Don't forget, the American Merchant Shipping had heard the intense sounds of artillery in the storm before. That captain had once participated in the American Civil War, so he was very familiar with the explosion power of all kinds of artillery. He personally told our intelligence officer that it was definitely a brand-new type of naval artillery, and its power is comparable to that of the Large-scale Gun for Coastal Defense …"

With a pfft, Napoleon III laughed, "Oh, my dear Molière, if you were trying to make me laugh, then you've succeeded … ~ Placed Large-scale Gun for Coastal Defense on the warship? What a joke, how could there be such a strong battleship in this world? "Aren't you afraid that the tremors might have scattered …"

"Your Majesty! Nothing is impossible, what we are experiencing now is a major change of science and technology, before the Poo War, who would believe that a rifle would completely replace a front-loading gun? "Now that the Stabilized Bullets have been introduced on a large scale, the outdated Mini Bullets have been completely eliminated …"

"The various nations have started to create new Iron-armored Ship. Our intelligence officer has reported back that they are designing a round shaped Iron-armored battleship … God, I can't imagine what kind of monster it is! "

"Nothing is impossible, what's more, I'm going to go to the heart of the problem. What if the unstoppable warship in the Atlantic Ocean is Xiao Letian's? No matter how much we hate him, it is undeniable that he is, after all, a Chinese with a miracle! "

Hearing Xiao Letian's name, Napoleon's expression froze, "That's right, anything that Xiao Letian participates in will become extremely troublesome, could it be that God has sent him to punish me with a whip?"

Napoleon III painfully rubbed his temple, "Let me sort out my train of thought again! This warship has a speed exceeding 15 knots? And it's a steam power ship? With cannons that were comparable to Large-scale Gun for Coastal Defense s? My God, how could those Chinese have created such a monster? "

"No, my lord! Have you forgotten Prussia? Xiao Letian was a wishful thinking madman, and he possessed a huge amount of financial power, which was enough to support him in carrying out such an experiment … With Prussian industrial power, nothing is impossible! "
