Chapter 226 Chapter 226 Desperate Visit

"Don't touch it, it's real metal! Thick steel plate, the kind that doesn't echo when knocked on it! We don't skin the wooden battleship, but use real steel plate to make the hull!" Just in Tang When Mo almost burned his own kitchen, watching the two elves visiting the battleship cautiously stretch out their hands to touch the steel plate on the iron-clad battleship, Harry who accompanied them said.

This battleship is the battleship Bunas 1 that returned to Bunas to add coal and water and replenish ammunition.It still has some damage to repair, as well as a few hits from solid shells.

But for it, these small damages are not worth mentioning, most of the hit places are just a shallow pit.

When the two elves watched the battleship up close, they were completely shocked by its magnificence.

This is the first time they have seen such a warship, a strange warship without sails but with two big funnels.

As Harry walked forward, he introduced to the two of them: "The warship under your feet is brand new, and the cannons it is equipped with can destroy any sailing warship!"

When passing the bridge, he pointed to the sight on the top of his head: "Do you see what is above your head? A sighting system that has never appeared in this world can help the artillery lock on the target 8 kilometers away. , if necessary, you can fire and attack at this distance!"

In this era, most of the targeting in naval battles is still based on naked eye observation. This is the first time the two elves have heard that there is a precise targeting system.

They looked up at the armor-protected reflex sight, and for a moment couldn't figure out how it worked.

But even if they couldn't figure out the advanced principles of these devices, they were still intimidated by the all-metal bridge.

Even if you just think about it casually, standing on such a tall and steel-protected bridge to command a naval battle is indeed much safer than standing on the open-air platform at the stern of a traditional sailing ship.

The tall mast, and those vents, they have never seen every piece of equipment, and they are extremely mysterious in their eyes.

Finally, they walked to the bow of the ship and saw the huge turret with two 120mm breech-loading guns installed.

His own naval gunners used muzzle-loading guns in the wooden hull, while the enemy's naval gunners used more advanced artillery under the protection of steel plates. This battle was really frustrating... The two elves felt the same emotion in their hearts.

At this time, Harry had already introduced the armed configuration of this battleship: "Two fronts and one rear, a total of three main guns, installed in two rotatable turrets, and the gunners protected by steel plates can attack the enemy calmly. .”

"We used a new type of ammunition, and a single salvo can sink a first-class sailing warship!" He reached out and touched the thick gun barrel, and said confidently.

"This is the flagship product of our Datang Group Shipbuilding Industry Branch. A warship like this can subvert a country's old navy... You can calmly pursue the enemy and sink those poor lambs with ease." As he said that, Harry looked at the two elves who kept looking around like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden with a smirk.

What he said next was not so pleasant: "You have already experienced it yourself, so you should believe in what I say! Don't doubt, the power we have, you can't resist at all!"

You have experienced this sentence yourself, and it is really heartbreaking.The faces of the two elves immediately became gloomy, because they came all the way for the shelling of Nanshui Port.

Regardless of the gloomy faces of the two, Harry continued to stimulate their fragile nerves: "This kind of warship has a speed of more than 35 kilometers per hour, and your warship has no chance of escaping. We can hunt down and kill you." You go to the ends of the earth."

"Don't take chances, because our warships have the ability to fight at night! Have you seen this kind of searchlight? It can illuminate at night, just like a lighthouse, and it can find a target one kilometer away to continue attacking!" He said while pointing. A searchlight covered with canvas in the distance: "So, no sailing warship can escape from the pursuit of this kind of warship... You have already experimented, so I won't introduce anything more."

You don't hit people in the face!The two elves really wanted to remind Harry not to repeatedly stimulate their fragile nerves.

Yes, they were beaten, and they were abused to the point where their bodies were bruised...But, but this kind of embarrassing thing, you don't have to bring it up again and again, right?
As a result, before the two of them protested, Harry threw out another detail that made the two of them quite excited: "Actually, this is not the most powerful part of it. The real most powerful part is the installation You have already used the telegraph system, so you know how great it is."

The two of them have indeed seen the magic of the telegraph, and this time they really have the idea of ​​bringing this magical thing like the telegraph back to the Poplar Kingdom.

So they listened carefully to Harry's introduction, forgetting all the unpleasantness just now: "You will be able to contact your warships at will, no matter where they are in the sea, you can easily mobilize these forces!"

"Believe me, there is nothing more comfortable than this feeling. Just send a telegram, and the battleship thousands of miles away can immediately execute the order... What is more exciting than this?" Harry Having said that, the topic is over.

The two elves are still immersed in the great scene that the Yangmu Kingdom has a telegraph system and can command and dispatch troops from far away.

It's a pity that before the two of them wandered in the beautiful vision for too long, Harry brought them back to the cruel reality: "Actually, I didn't introduce this to sell you two, after all, you still want to To pay the debt of 1400 million gold coins, there may be no money left to buy such advanced weapons and equipment in a short time."

He smiled and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that the two of them can get off the ship: "I'm just practicing with you, so that when others come to buy warships, I can sell them better..."

Fitlar almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and he moved his steps depressedly, as if his feet were as heavy as a thousand weights.

While walking, Harry continued: "Of course, I'm introducing this to you in the hope that you can realize that your navy is outdated, and the threats I mentioned are actually very important to our Datang Group." simple."

"Soon, there will be 4 steel warships cruising in your waters, and your idea of ​​getting any supplies from the sea will be shattered." Putting on a threatening tone, Harry once again reminded the two elves of the iron-clad ships in front of them The fact that it is the enemy's weapon: "So, I suggest you go back and think carefully, and pay back the 1400 million gold coins owed as soon as possible... After all, if you refuse to pay the debt, the end will be miserable."

"What you do is more despicable than the Cyric Consortium! All countries will fear you and regard you as a thorn in their side..." the deputy envoy couldn't bear it anymore, and screamed sadly.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Fitteral, in fact, we have maintained friendly cooperative relations with many countries... For example, we have signed an agreement with the Wright Kingdom to build three Burnas-class ironclad ships in the future to help Wright The Kingdom will form a modern navy." Harry retorted disdainfully.

Then, he did not forget to make another stab at the bleeding hearts of the two elves: "But this may not be good news for you, because the Wright Kingdom is likely to declare war on your poplar kingdom and participate into an attack on your country's coastal ports..."

"..." Sure enough, the faces of the two elves became even more difficult to look at, as if they saw their lover and wife wrestling together when they returned home.

When Harry got off the battleship and stood on the pier, he turned his head and pointed to the Burners 1 battleship, and said, "You can also see that there is a huge gap between the weapons and equipment of our two sides. We don't even need to attack you." Pay any price. Under such circumstances, you still maliciously default on the payment and refuse to pay the interest, I admire your courage a little bit."

This time, Fittral did not deny the 1400 million gold coins, but shirked that he had no right to make a decision: "I am not qualified to agree to such a condition... I can only send someone back to ask for instructions..."

Maybe he didn't even realize it, but he had already started to fear and acquiesced to Datang Group's request.

Harry indifferently reminded Fittral that time is precious: "Don't worry, we have a lot of time... But you have to think clearly, it is you who lack time! Every day that passes, the alliance formed against the poplar kingdom will The stronger you become, the less chance you have to expand."

"Wait until your neighboring countries...such as the Pinewood Kingdom...have paid for ironclad ships, or imported breech-loading guns and needle guns...it will be too late for you to pay back." After he finished speaking, he looked at The two elves who were suffocating were about to suffocate themselves to death.

"1400 million is not a small amount. Even our majesty the king has to make a careful decision. I need time! Please be sure...to help." Finally, Fitlar took off the gemstone ring he was wearing, Passed it secretly to Harry, begging in a low voice.

Harry looked down at the nice-looking ring in his hand: "Huh?"

"This ring is worth at least 300 gold coins..." Fearing that Harry would be ignorant, Fitlar said quickly.

"We have warships in Nanshui Port. As you know, our steel warships naturally have telegraphs... If you need to contact the Poplar Kingdom as quickly as possible, I can help you find a way..." Harry Putting the ring into his pocket, he said, "I can only help you so far."

As if a drowning person grasped at the straw, Fittral almost cried out in gratitude: "...Thank you! Thank you very much!"
