Chapter 118: Ultimatum
The ironclad sailed on, and although the deck was broken, the structure was not affected. It's just that the atmosphere is a little weird.
This trip was really exciting, and even bombarded the Dragon Princess of the East China Sea in Yingzhou—not only did we see the Dragon Princess, but we also gave the Dragon Princess two large shells.
The soldiers on the ironclad ship are full of enthusiasm!
On the other side, Xu Ren was talking to Wei Zhe; obviously, Ao Qingxue would ask Wei Zhe about the situation, and Xu Ren had to make sure that Wei Zhe didn't twist his mouth. If Wei Zhe twisted his lips, Anyang might pay an unimaginable price.
In this weird atmosphere, the ironclad warship did not dare to continue sailing in the ocean, and there were several patrolling Yakshas in the distance watching it.
Quickly coming to the northeast of Anyang, Wu Peng, who had been waiting at the beach for a long time, immediately waved the flag, indicating that everything was ready.
Chang Lin, Xu Ren, Xia Qingqing, Beichen Yuqing, Yan Ze'an, etc. all stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the situation on the shore; now it was about 150 meters away from the shore, and the The flags are clearly visible.
And when the armored ship arrived at the beach, the spies lurking close to the beach finally "discovered the secret"; seeing this big white ship with a different body, and seeing the high-level officials of Anyang on the bow, Immediately felt——here is a secret, a big secret!
Wu Peng glanced behind him with a sneer, immediately led his men to leave, and went to wait at the cordon.
Yan Zhengqing, who was farther away, flew into the sky and greeted here, everything is fine.
Chang Lin finally got permission from Xia Qingqing and Xu Ren, and immediately shouted excitedly, "Get ready, fire.
Fire for the first time, with the bow facing the shore! "
The bow of the ship was facing the sea, with one main gun, four secondary guns, and 20 gunners busy.
"First time, salvo!"
Four secondary guns and one main gun fired in salvo, and a thunderous blast exploded. The huge reaction force pushed the ironclad ship back more than half a meter, and the stern of the ship stirred up waves three meters high.
The five shells fell on the ground about two kilometers away in the first place.
The main artillery shells landed first, and there was a loud bang, black smoke rose into the sky, and ten figures were blown away; before the spies could react, the four secondary artillery shells also landed, and there was another roar. Dozens of figures were blown away!
Chang Lin recorded in his notes: "The main gun is powerful in attack, and the secondary gun is powerful in killing."
Looking up, Chang Lin continued to order: "Second time, still shoot at the highest elevation angle."
After two consecutive bombardments, even a fool would understand that this place is not a treasure land, but a dead land! The spies didn't continue to hide anymore, but withdrew their formations one after another, and broke out in all directions in a frenzy.
Chang Lin sneered, but still commanded the test calmly, "The third volley was fired flat. In addition, machine guns fired."
"Starting from flat shooting, the gun barrel is raised, and the method of artillery fire extension and cover bombing is adopted."
"Turn the bow of the ship, the port side faces the coast, and continue the test just now!" The port side bombarded, and there were three more secondary guns.
Then there was the starboard side, another series of such bombardments and tests.
After the static test is completed, it is the dynamic test, and the ironclad ship starts to accelerate, turn and so on. Testing the gunfire, testing the hull structure, testing the engine... A series of tests dazzled the eyes. In the end, Chang Lin, the newly appointed admiral, could only stare blankly. He could only watch Wan Sheng lead the engineers to continuously adjust, test, readjust, Test again.
Of course, Chang Lin just stared blankly, but the shore was already full of mourning. More than a thousand spies hidden here have enjoyed the treatment of the new era in advance. When these spies wanted to leave here, they found that there were already tens of thousands of soldiers arrayed at the cordon, and they couldn't get through at all. Helpless, these people can only flee to the Yaozu territory.
Although it is very dangerous to enter the realm of the Yaozu, staying here is absolutely lifeless, and it seems that the death is too tragic.
The lesser of two evils, let's run!
This test was carried out for five full days, and countless so-called "technical indicators" were tested before and after.
In the past few days, Wei Zhe went back and forth between the ship and the Dragon Palace several times, bombarding Princess Dragon's responsibility, and did not cause any vicious disturbances; as for Ao Han, it is said that he has continued to "retreat and practice".
However, there was a benign disturbance—Princess Dragon fell in love with this powerful iron-clad ship, and ordered ten ships in one go!
Although Ao Han asked for a hundred ships, it was more of a playful nature, so he didn't need to take it seriously; Princess Dragon was different, and even came forward to chat with Xia Qingqing for a while, very seriously.
"People in the sea still use boats? Is it useful?" Everyone expressed doubts, but Princess Dragon offered a very generous price - calculated by weight, to be precise, calculated by three times the weight of stainless steel. This is the way that Anyang and Longgong transactions have been used.
After Wei Zhe left, Anyang Mansion held a grand celebration ceremony, and immediately repaired a letter to report the general situation to Li Xian. However, the current letters have all been recorded using jade slips; although using jade slips is tiring, especially because it consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness, using jade slips can convey more information and is safer.
In addition to telling Li Xian that the test of the iron-clad ship was successful, there is also a plan for the future——Anyang, looking at Luliang County in the south!
Yan Zhengqing's 10,000 recruits have already been trained, and the iron-clad ships are in the process of being produced as soon as possible. The relevant technologies have been solved, and with the assistance of the practitioners' own abilities, the construction of two identical iron-clad ships started at the same time.
With the master of practice and the convenience of rune array technology, the production of new ironclad ships is very fast.
There is a small problem here, that is, the naming of the ironclad ship! Everyone has their own opinions. In the end, it was Xia Qingqing who made the decision: to name the levels after the colors of the rainbow, there are seven levels of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, plus the two levels of "heaven and earth", forming nine levels. The specific naming is given by the admiral himself; in the military, it is named according to the serial number.
For example, the military number of this first ironclad ship is: Red One. In the future, those of this level will be named according to: Red No. 2, Red No. 3... so.
When there are more powerful ironclad ships in the future, they will be marked with: Orange No. 1, Orange No. 2, etc.
This classification method is simple and clear, easy to remember, very convenient for military deployment, and was adopted immediately.
After more than half a month like this, Anyang felt that everything was ready, and the Red No. 2 and Red No. 3 ironclad ships were about to be completed, and finally decided to take the initiative to attack!
Drafted by Xia Qingqing himself, and jointly supervised by Xu Ren, Beichen Yuqing, Fang Shijing, and Yan Ze'an, a "rebuke order" was stamped with the seal of Li Xian Daxia's Eastern Governor, and sent to Zhongshan County in the southwest of Anyang and the southern Luliang County.
The general idea is: It has been more than three months, and you have not yet got up to face the saint in the capital; you Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, and Zhao Guoshan, the governor of Luliang County, are so brave, how dare you despise the monarchy! Now I give you an ultimatum, bind your hands and come to Anyang to plead guilty within three days, otherwise we will exercise the right of "Li Xian's Eastern Governor of the Great Xia Kingdom"!
