Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 434 God is going to destroy me, Great Britain!
"Mistake! Mistake! Still a mistake! We made too many mistakes!!"

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

Admiral John Jervis was muttering to himself.

It is a mistake to meet the enemy with the bow of the ship, it is a mistake to withdraw the large-caliber main gun, and it is a mistake to expose the turret.

The design ideas of the entire British Empire's navy's ironclads were a complete collection of a series of mistakes!
Especially the open turret!

It is too easy for tragedies to occur such as artillery shells and ammunition depots being exploded.

It wasn't just those on the British Imperial Navy side who were stunned.

Even the officers and soldiers of the Ming Navy stared blankly at this earth-shattering scene.

Two words came to everyone's mind: luck!
indeed.

Good luck.

The small-caliber explosive bombs launched by the Ming Navy alone could only scratch the itch of the Tulip with a displacement of up to 1 tons.

But rather.

A shell apparently detonated a blasting shell from the main gun!
Caused such a serious explosion! !
But actually.

Something more serious.
No one expected it yet.

at this time.

On board the Tulip.

Most of the sailors near the ammunition depot.

Even if they were not killed, most of them fainted.

and so.

No one closed the passage connecting the fort and ammunition depot!
In addition, the control tower of the Tulip was blown away.

The ship's command system was completely paralyzed.

No one knew that a greater danger had arrived.

The burning flames spread along the passage to the ammunition depot.

Just when no one had reacted.

boom! !

There was a louder noise.

A mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

Accompanied by loud sounds and fire.

The British Empire's hope for sea power, the bow of the battleship Tulip was almost completely blown to pieces.

The sea water rushed in crazily at this moment, forming a whirlpool on the sea surface.

The warship, which was already tilting, began to gradually sink from the bow position.
The second warship sunk in this naval battle was born.

No one thought of it.
The second ship that was sunk was the largest battleship in the world!

John Jervis' head was buzzing.

There is only one thought left in his mind now: It's over!
The British Empire's Indian Ocean Fleet was finished.

The British Empire's maritime hegemony is over!

British Empire
It might be over too.

because.

HMS Tulip, the main battleship of the British Empire.

He was actually beaten to pieces by the cruisers of the Ming Empire!
10 minutes.

One Titan was severely damaged, and another Titan was sunk! !
Is this the luck of the Chinese people?
Do not!
It is a fundamental error in the design ideas of the British Royal Navy's warships!

These battleships, which were built at a huge cost to the British Empire, are simply a pile of rubbish!
A pile of extremely expensive garbage!
The Tulip quickly disappeared into the sea, and not even a few of the more than 2000 sailors on the ship survived - the shock caused by the huge explosion was enough to knock out most of the people on the ship. .

The defeat on the battlefield is irreversible.

Everybody knows.

The winner of this great sea battle taking place in the northeastern waters of the Indian Ocean has been decided.

But the war is not over yet - because war is not a drama, and there is no pause button.

If there is a pause button.

George III would definitely press it without hesitation.

Then have a good discussion about how to defeat the battle with dignity.

But it's a pity.in this era.

It was impossible for the commanders on the front line to have real-time contact with the emperors and kings at the rear.

Although Ming Dynasty developed radio and cable TV.

However, the technology to send telegraphs directly from the Indian Ocean to Zhongdu is still not available.

and so.

Even if you know it's a defeat.

It was impossible for John Jervis to escape.

Because the cruiser formation of the Ming Navy was almost beyond the expectations of all the officers of the British fleet, it not only withstood the bombardment of the British battleship formation, but even gave them a little physical shock by the way - at a cost of course It's the sunken Tulip.

and so.

The British battleship formation failed to defeat the bright cruiser formation, and the consequences were completely catastrophic for the Royal Navy of the British Empire.

Because the 12 town-class battleships have completed the roundabout and seized the T-shaped battle position on one side of the British battleship formation!
More than 200 artillery pieces with larger calibers were all pointed at the last Titan-class battleship with full combat power, the Wave.

The roar of more than 200 cannons.

within a short period.

The superstructure of the Waves was engulfed in flames.

Continuous blasts of explosive shells continued to fall on the deck of the Wave.

The fire quickly spread on the deck.

In order to avoid the consequences of the ammunition depot explosion like the Tulip.

The captain of the Wave could only order the injection of seawater into the ammunition depot.

This is equivalent to disarming the last [-]-ton battleship of the British Royal Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet!

But even so.

The Mingship did not let go of this battleship that had completely fallen into the sea of ​​​​fire.

The shells from the rapid-fire cannon poured in crazily.

The fire gradually got out of control.

ten minutes later.

The remaining personnel on this Titan-class battleship also had to put down the lifeboats and evacuate from the Wave Wave, which had completely turned into a sea torch, which was equivalent to abandoning the Wave Wave.

After losing two Titan-class ships, another Vostok was also severely damaged.

The Royal Navy's battleship formation finally exerted the effect of their horizontal formation-the remaining 15 battleships rushed towards the Hong Lie and the formation behind it, braving fire.

no way.

Deng Huanzhuang could only order the formation of the three Hong-class cruisers and Wei-class frigates behind to disband and disperse to avoid enemy collisions. At the same time, he also ordered the Hong Lie, which had only half of its power left, to continue moving on the established course to attract the enemy. of firepower.

After the formation disbanded.

It seems that the frigates and cruisers of the Mingship can only fight on their own.

This made John Jervis feel a little relieved.

But
When these bright ships scattered on the sea once again focused their fire on the Oakland at the front.

John Jervis couldn't help but feel completely numb.

'damn it!What is going on with these Chinese people?They've lost formation!They have lost their organization!Why can they still launch a volley! ! '

John Jervis broke the defense.

prior to.

The bright ships formed a column and used column tactics to gain the upper hand. John Jervis was not as numb as he is now.

"How do they stay coordinated and organized in the midst of this chaos?!"

John Jervis and Will Smith looked at each other.

"New communication technology!"

Will Smith groaned in pain.

"Obviously a few decades ago, science was born in Europe, and our science and technology were far ahead of China's, but now."

The two lamented almost simultaneously.

The other side has the advantage in every aspect.

This is, God is going to kill me as a great hero.
