C2763 A final destiny!

In the will of these officers, no normal commander would make such a foolish decision as to let the infantry attack a battleship as large as a castle? What an idiotic order!

What's more, this castle was made of steel!

Huo Fu was not commanding the troops, Huo Fu was leading them to murder, this was treason! Many of the officers were criticizing him in their hearts!

Bearing the immense pressure, Huo Fu was no longer able to control his emotions.

"All of you, shut up! What do you know? "This is our only choice …"

"Look at the battlefield, the British are quietly approaching us, will they really remain neutral? I would rather believe in the devil than in the credibility of these crooks! "

"If we do as you say, let's surround them and not attack them!" How long will it take? Just because these Chinese are crazy, will they surrender? "

"Where are we now? In the interior sea of Prussia, on their coastline, who knows when a massive legion appeared on the mainland opposite? "

"Even if Prussia doesn't attack, after dawn, our whereabouts will be completely exposed. Prussia is ready to defend, how can we attack the hamburger?"

"If we can't complete this mission, how can we explain it to His Majesty?"

"If we drag it out long enough, the British will take the opportunity to intervene. Are you mentally prepared to fire your cannons at the Royal Fleet? "

Huo Fu's accusation made all the officers present speechless, but before Huo Fu could finish, he pointed at his subordinates and roared.

"I want this warship. The Empire needs this warship too. His Majesty the Emperor needs this warship even more!" We have to take him down as quickly as possible. What if these Chinese people put explosives on him? "

"What if they blow up all the valuable equipment?"

"You've all thought it through! We need to capture this battleship and these soldiers, and our goal is to obtain the technology of this warship, as well as the political significance of capturing it! "

"We must sacrifice this battleship to atone for our sins! Do you really think that there will be a good ending for this dog-shit fight? The military court is our final destiny! "

"If we don't offer this warship and these damned Chinese soldiers, we won't be able to atone for our sins!"

In the end, Huo Fu still said what he wanted to say, and all the soldiers present realized what was going on. They looked at British Fleet, then looked at the Zhiyuan Warship that was resisting even at death's door, and lowered their heads and did not speak!

Huo Fu gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "All the battleships move towards the southeast and stand between the Zhiyuan Warship and the rest. Our victor must not be given to these British people!"

"Send a signal to the army. The battle must end in three hours. This battleship must be captured safely!"

"If they can't do it, let them face the wrath of His Majesty alone!"

After Huo Fu's order, the three battleships started to change formations, and quickly arrived at the front of the British battleship, using their bodies to block all the important sea roads that the British were trying to rescue.

On the other hand, the cruisers continued to surround the Zhiyuan Warship, but their cannons were also aimed at the British, causing the atmosphere to become tense.

Looking at the surrounding area of the Zhiyuan Warship, the waves were already filled with corpses, densely packed to the brim with no less than a thousand of them. The crazy Zhiyuan Warship soldiers even started to pour buckets of pungent liquid into the sea.

This was not kerosene, kerosene could not be directly burned in water. When the fire began to spread along the sea, everyone was stunned. The army on the French coast watched helplessly as their brother was burned to death in the sea!

How terrifying was this scene? A human being was burned to death in the water, yet a flame was ignited in the sea!

"Greek fire? This battleship is actually carrying Greek fire! "

The Greek fires of Byzantine times had been restored to the field of battle in the nineteenth century, but the liquid was quite different from the dark liquid recorded in the history books.

This liquid was lighter, had better fluidity, and was more effective in heat!

What these Europeans did not know was that this liquid was a very common form of gasoline in the future!

Human beings had studied oil for thousands of years already, but to use it for such a large scale study would need to be done in the Second Industrial Revolution.

Before this, kerosene was the people's most contact with it!

What is kerosene? In fact, it is the product of petroleum distillation. The boiling point of all kinds of materials in petroleum is different, and kerosene is used by the people first because of its high boiling point and high safety.

At that time, the light gasoline and diesel that had low boiling point would usually be ignited and consumed as trash!

Xiao Letian would never do such a reckless thing like this. The Chinese were already researching on the internal combustion engine and oil refining technology, and now, they had a stable production rate of gasoline and diesel.

As the first warship in the navy, it was not a problem for Zhiyuan Warship to store some gasoline as strategic goods. They never thought that they could use it here!

Amidst the raging fire, the salty smell of evaporating seawater and the stench of burnt barbecue filled the air. The most frenzied wave of attacks by the French army was finally repelled.

The hysterical French army began a new round of artillery barrages. The Zhiyuan Warship s trembled non-stop under the gunfire, and their four and a half inches of iron armor could not even hold up any longer.

"Captain... Captain, we no longer have ammunition … The Gatling and all the ammunition on the heavy machine gun were taken out... "There's only a few rifle bullets left..."

Amidst the rumbling sounds of the cannon, Xiang Ying knew that his last moments had come. He called out to Jin Sanshun, "It's too late! Banner down! The destination has finally been reached! "

"Jin Sanshun, my brother... After I leave, all the surviving comrades will be entrusted to you! Your mission is heavier than mine, so enduring shame is always harder than death! "

"Sorry, brother!"

Jin Sanshun teared up, "Captain, take care! Wasn't it just pretending to be a captive and a grandson? I, Third Fatty Jin, have always been shameless! "

Xiang Ying unscrewed the revolver, looked inside and saw that there were still two bullets left, he smiled bitterly at blood flag, then looked towards the east!

"Master! Disciple is unfilial! This disciple will use his life as proof today... This proves that my choice was correct! "

With that, Xiang Ying raised his hand, aimed the gun at his temple and pulled the trigger!

And at this time, Xiao Letian, who was far away in the Belgium, stayed up all night. He had just slept for two hours, when he suddenly heard something in his dreams.

Aiya … Xiao Letian screamed in pain and was immediately roused from his sleep!

"Demon Dream has entered your arms!" Something big must have happened! "
