The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 569: Bombardment of the Colombian Navy
A "huge" fleet is sailing in the waters of Colombia.

Chen Zhengwei was lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun.

After a week on the boat, he felt much better, at least his urine flowed in a straight line.

"Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and sex is a steel knife that scrapes the bones!" Chen Zhengwei yawned.

"That Master Wei doesn't take care of his body!" Wan Yun pressed Chen Zhengwei's head from behind. Wan Yun's hands were soft and Chen Zhengwei felt a little drowsy.

"Fortunately, my wife doesn't know, otherwise she would definitely blame me when she gets back!"

"I just want to see if my body is made of iron!" Chen Zhengwei snorted.

The fact is, he has not yet broken through human limits.

There were parties every night in Peru, with several people there every night. His legs were floating when he got on the boat.

"Ah! Ah! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" On the shelf next to it, a large red and blue parrot, nearly one meter long, howled with its head raised.

"I'll tear your mouth apart!" Wan Yun was immediately angry and stretched out his hand as if to hit the parrot. The parrot made a cackling sound, spread its wings and flew high into the sky. Another parrot of the same species with red, blue and yellow stripes spread its wings and flew up right after it.

The two parrots flew half a circle over the sea and then landed back on the balcony.

This pair of parrots was a gift from the President of Peru, and many ships carry parrots when they go out to sea.

Because parrots have poor flying ability, if they fly back quickly after being released, it means they are still far away from land.

"You may not be able to beat the fireworks!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

The parrot's beak and claws left bloody holes on my body.

The two parrots are named Huapao and Changhong.

The fireworks are for wealth, having a baby and having good luck. The parrot's body is also decorated in red, yellow and blue.

The meaning of Changhong is that the year will be prosperous from the beginning to the end.

A sailor slid down from the observation deck and ran to Liu Guanchang to inform him:

"There is a ship 12 nautical miles northeast!"

"They should be Colombian ships. There are five of them in total. They are all small gunboats! Not fishing boats."

"They don't dare to provoke us!" said Liu Guanchang, but he still asked someone to remind Chen Zhengwei.

"A Colombian ship?" Chen Zhengwei became excited when he heard this.

Yung Wing has been in Panama with his people for a while, but the Colombian government has not sent anyone to sign the extraterritoriality treaty, which makes Chen Zhengwei very dissatisfied.

"Go blow them up!"

Chen Zhengwei regained consciousness and picked up the British Royal Navy textbook: "Strategy and Tactics" and read the last three pages.

The system panel pops up automatically.

There is also an extra skill in the skill bar.

Fleet command level 0.

"Finally it's out!" Chen Zhengwei threw the book down from the balcony.

With this skill, you don't need to read other textbooks of the British Royal Navy.

For example, the Navigation Manual, the Gunnery Manual, the Navigation Guide, the International Maritime Law...

"Master Wei? What came out?"

Wanyun asked curiously behind Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei didn't answer either. He just laughed and grabbed Wanyun's butt with his backhand.

Then he looked at his skill points. He still had 5 normal skill points and 5 mastery skill points.

First, raise the fleet command point to LV4. Every time the skill is upgraded by one level, a large amount of fleet and navigation related knowledge will emerge in the brain.

The huge amount of information gave Chen Zhengwei a headache and his brows furrowed.

As if sensing Chen Zhengwei's headache, Wan Yun applied more force with her fingers.

This relieved the headache a lot.

After his skills were upgraded to level 4, Chen Zhengwei's mind was filled with countless knowledge about ship navigation, fleet tactics, operation of sailboats and steamships, artillery loading, aiming, range and trajectory, boarding battles, dispatch between ships, flags and signal lights, etc.

There is even knowledge about meteorology and ocean currents.

Compared with land battles, naval battles require more considerations and are more complex.

At the same time, a derivative skill also appeared.

Ocean Perception LV1.

The ocean is always changing, sometimes gentle, sometimes angry, but you can keenly perceive the ocean's emotions from the wind, from the humid air, from all the tiny traces around you, and sense it before the crisis comes.

"It's indeed a matching derivative skill!"

"It's somewhat similar to the derivative skill of swimming, Ocean Current Sense!"

"But one is to sense the ocean currents, and the other is to sense changes in the ocean from the air, clouds, and climate. This way, we can better command the fleet!"

Chen Zhengwei raised the fleet command point to LV6, and the ocean perception was also upgraded to LV3.

"The next step is to wait for the next lottery. As long as I draw a master-level skill point and break through the fleet command to level 7, a qualitative change will occur!"

Chen Zhengwei is very clear about how big the gap is between skill LV6 and LV7.

So big that they are completely two skills.

As long as his skills break through to level 7, with his current fleet and torpedo boats, he feels that he can fight against the entire British Royal Navy Pacific Fleet, and he will definitely not lose.

"If we pull Britain down from its pedestal now... the world situation will probably be very interesting!" Chen Zhengwei said with amusement.

If the Royal Navy's Pacific Fleet were destroyed, the situation in the entire world would change drastically.

Chen Zhengwei was very interested in this.

Of course, he thought the French would be more interested. And he would not do such a thing. Even if he wanted to fight, he would drag the United States into the fight.

He is a genuine American of the Zhenghuangqi clan.

After adding points, looking at the remaining two ordinary skill points and two mastery skill points, Chen Zhengwei closed the system panel.

At this time, the fleet was not far from the Colombian gunboats.

Chen Zhengwei could see with his naked eyes that several small gunboats were sailing several miles away.

Looks like he's on patrol.

The small gunboats also discovered the fleet's traces and began to approach the distant coastline.

Chen Zhengwei rang the bell and the first mate immediately trotted up.

"boss!"

"The transport ships and half of the Tel-class warships will sail according to the original route, and the other ships will catch up!" Chen Zhengwei ordered.

And on the Colombian gunboat.

"They are coming towards us!" As the sailor shouted, everyone else looked nervous.

Originally, after seeing Chen Zhengwei's fleet, they just subconsciously moved away, but these ships obviously deviated from their route and chased after them.

"Hurry up, get closer to the shore! At the same time, notify other warships and prepare for battle!" The commander of the small patrol fleet ordered nervously.

Now they were still twenty nautical miles away from their target port, and it was definitely too late to go back.

We had no choice but to force our way ashore.

However, their wooden sailing ships were much slower than steam ships when the wind was not favorable.

In just fifteen minutes, the Warrior was only 1 nautical mile away from them.

"They're catching up!"

"We can't move any further towards the shore, this area is full of reefs!"

"We can't take care of that anymore, let's continue to dock!" the commander gritted his teeth, and the other sailors also looked nervous.

Now they can only hope that the other party is not going to attack them.

However, they soon saw in despair that the hatch of the Warrior's gun room opened, and the muzzles of cannons extended out of the gun room of the ship.

"Their target is us!"

The commander ran to the side of the ship and looked at the dense reefs in the sea and the coast in the distance. He gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to dock!"

Although they also had several cannons, they didn't even think of fighting back.

The gap between the two sides is too big, like a rabbit facing a lion.

The Warrior is a steel behemoth with a displacement of 9210 tons, and there are several other warships around it.

And they were just a few wooden gunboats with a displacement of two or three hundred tons.

There was a sudden loud noise and violent vibration from the ship.

"We've hit a reef!" a sailor shouted immediately, and the faces of the others showed expressions of despair.

"Jump off boat!" The people on the boat immediately swam towards the shore like dumplings.

The Colombians were already in chaos. At this time, Liu Guanzhang stretched out his hand and waved it downwards, ordering: "Fire!"

Boom boom boom!

Balls of fire lit up from the side of the Warrior, followed by shells that whistled and created columns of water in the water.

Seeing that none of the shots hit the target, Liu Guanchang immediately felt embarrassed, as the boss was still on the boat.

"Load the shells, and aim them this time!"

"Fire!"

"Send a signal to notify those Tel-class gunboats to approach and fire!"

Boom boom boom!

Another round of gunfire rang out, once again blasting columns of water on the sea around the ships, while several Tel-class warships approached and opened fire.

Due to the rough sea conditions and the long distance, aiming is much more difficult than on shore.

Although the ship's gunners had trained for half a year, their experience was still far from enough, and they had previously mostly aimed their shells at fixed reefs.

This was the first real combat, and fortunately the Colombians panicked first, otherwise they would have been even more nervous.

It was not until the third round of shelling that a ball of fire finally lit up on a ship in the distance. A hole was blown in the hull and thick smoke billowed.

The gunner in the cabin cheered.

But Director Liu still looked unhappy. He had lost face in front of the boss today.

As several Tel-class warships approached and opened fire, the ships were hit one after another. One of the ships had a hole in its waterline and began to take in water. The crew on the ship jumped into the sea one after another.

Soon the ship sank into the sea, while two of the other four ships ran aground, and two were hit by bullets but still sailed towards the shore.

You can see a large number of Colombian navy ships struggling in the water like dumplings in a pot, swimming towards the shore.

After a while, only two ships were left that had run aground. Because of the reefs under the sea, half of them were still emitting black smoke on the sea surface, while the other half had sunk into the sea.

The other two have also sunk to the bottom of the sea.

The Colombian sailors, all wet, finally swam to the shore, looking at the fleet on the sea with anger, yet at the same time feeling grateful for having escaped with their lives.

The fleet at sea has changed direction and continued sailing north.

A day later, the Colombian government received news that a patrol fleet had been sunk. It angrily protested to the US government and sent people to Panama to question Chen Zhengwei.

They had already figured out where the fleet was going, which was Panama.
