C886 British Merchant Shipping Mist

"Mr. Kevin, please think of something. We are not homicidal maniacs … "This is a national war, an unavoidable war. We are building up the bricks for the final victory …"

"Put away that untimely kindness in your heart! I know you have noble morals, and you are proud of the nobility, but don't you want Prussia to be rid of its former shame? "If you take my shame, don't take it to heart …"

"Oh, we understand. You're just like those pedantic and hypocritical scholars of our Qing Empire, calling out 'distant chef', saying 'can't bear to see a cow or sheep die', and 'unrighteous meat' at the same time …"

"Hypocritical. I finally understand that you only want the glory of Prussia's victory, and you don't want to be stained with the enemy's blood."

The group of young officers on the Zhiyuan Warship were trying to persuade the engineer and vice Captain Kevin. This stubborn Prussian aristocrat was simply too difficult to serve.

It took him a while to untie the knot in his heart, and then he was furious about the British merchant ship. Of the thirteen merchant ships, twelve were French, and one was the unlucky British.

The Atlantic Golden Path could not only be used by French ships. Merchant ships from all over Europe could freely sail through, so the southern route of the Zhiyuan Warship was a very cautious one.

The five scissor boat s were separated by five miles and formed a big human shape. The Zhiyuan Warship s were hidden there, and the scissor boat s were sometimes flying the American flag, and sometimes flying the British, French, and even Dutch Portugal flags.

When they encountered a Prussian merchant ship, the fleet would go to great lengths to purchase some goods and materials, demanding that they be kept strictly confidential. If they encountered ships from other neutral countries, such as the United States or Italy, they would also purchase some goods and materials properly, but they would absolutely not let the Chinese show their faces.

If they encountered ships from the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Holland, the fleet would immediately distance themselves from them.

Only the French Merchant Shipping were the fat sheep to be trained in, and God clearly protected them a lot.

At first, Zhiyuan Warship didn't want to attack this merchant ship, but coincidentally, when the fog broke into everyone's line of sight, the Zhiyuan Warship was engaged in a massacre at sea. The merchant ship that was destroyed by the main cannon had already sunk, and the sea was filled with corpses and wreckage, while the sailors were shooting at the survivors one by one with their rifles.

Although it was very cruel, but in order to keep it a secret, they had no other choice.

Seeing this, the Fog Du ship immediately turned around and fled. How could the Zhiyuan Warship let him escape?

The distance between the Zhiyuan Warship and the Fog Du was more than five kilometers. This was a rare live shooting exercise, where the maximum range of the Zhiyuan Warship's main cannon was eight kilometers.

Right now was an opportunity to accumulate experience in long-range shooting. Zhiyuan Warship controlled the speed of the ship and began training in long-range shooting at a distance of five kilometers.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The dull main cannon shot rang across the Atlantic, and like a frightened little girl, the Fog Du ran helplessly under the pursuit of the pervert.

Sometimes, the splash from the explosion was very close by, only thirty to forty meters away from the side of the ship. Sometimes, the splash from the explosion was at least three to four hundred meters away.

Lin Zhen was the head of the cannons on the Zhiyuan Warship, so he was in charge of all the weapons and systems. Of course, he was in charge of gathering the first hand parameters, but when everyone was busy, Kevin that old-fashioned fella started to lose his temper again.

He kept saying that England is not an enemy, so you must not attack each other. Well, if you must attack, then don't hurt the sailors, either.

This was truly a woman's benevolence. Right now, Britain was the overlord of the seas on Earth, the Royal Navy was invincible, and any country in the world that valued the navy was hard to deal with.

Why did this British ship risk its life to escape? He wanted to send the first-hand information about the Zhiyuan Warship back home, even if it was a beggar, all the citizens in Britain knew how important the navy was to the entire country.

Without the navy, there would be no British Empire. Any sprouts that could threaten the Royal Navy would have to be strangled to death, the Fog Du had now forgotten the mission of transportation from the captain to the sailors. The precious cargo had been thrown into the sea, and they had to think of all ways to increase their speed.

The captain of the Fog Du had also served in the navy before, so he could tell at a glance that the Zhiyuan Warship had a strong combat power and that they had the power to break the tradition. It was very likely that this was a brand-new battleship that was going to change the human naval warfare mode, so this information had to be sent back to the country.

Expensive cigars, rum s, coffee... Tens of thousands of pounds worth of goods were thrown into the sea, rolling up and down with the waves.

Throwing away the Zhiyuan Warship and even the British ships began to throw their cargo out. When sailing, the sail ships had to have cargo that could be stored inside, and the ancient sailors even directly put down the ballast stone in order to increase the stability of the ships, making it difficult to sink when facing wind and waves.

After that, the merchants in The Age of Great Navigation were more astute, every inch of space in the merchant ship was used to earn money, from then on, they no longer filled stones and sand, and in their place were all kinds of ballast goods.

The best cargo on the Chinese route is of course porcelain, and the most common cargo on the North America route is mechanically packaged wool and cotton. Do not think that wool and cotton are very light, with mechanical strength compacted and tied together by wool blocks as heavy as stone, it is definitely the first choice for ballast.

This treasure had already been thrown into the ocean. Xiang Ying and the others knew they could not continue playing.

When the two ships were less than three kilometers away from each other, the main cannons shot out from the distance directly towards the rear deck of the Misty Du, blowing up both the Captain's Room and the rudder into pieces.

It was also from that moment onwards, Kevin became excited again, unexpectedly showing a non-violent and uncooperative attitude, just like the Indians.

From that moment on, Kevin chose to strike. If attacking the French ships was to prepare for the Franco-Prussian War, then France was Prussia's nemesis for a hundred years.

But what about the ships that attacked the British? Is Prussia going to have a war with England? What a joke.

As the fleet sailed all the way to the vicinity of the Cape Verde Islands, this stubborn engineer still had not resumed his work. As a last resort, Xiang Ying could only use his trump card.

"Mr. Kevin, even if you are a stone, after we have explained it for so long, you should already have covered up your heat, right? If I can prove that there will be a bloody war between Prussia and Britain in the future, will you go on strike? "

"What kind of joke is this!?" I won't believe you... If Prussia really had a plan to go to war with England, then of course your actions would be forgivable, but I would never believe your lies! "
