Esselit didn’t know that Huang Zheng had the ability to knock down everyone on the deck alone. However, Xiao Chen instructed Huang Zheng to try not to intensify conflicts with the military, especially when Brudes matched up and set up an enemy for no reason.
So, he made a proposal for a competition.
Although Huang Zheng’s statement of the competition sounds a bit ridiculous, it touched Ethelit. From the theory of the original mind, he was still very curious about these people from the East. According to common sense, the sea conditions of the Devil Sea are so bad that the ships sent by people from the East Continent to cross the Devil Sea must be their most solid and advanced ships. The combat effectiveness of such a ship is of great reference value for the Western Continent Navy and the entire Western Continent to treat these Eastern visitors.
As a soldier, he was even more curious about what level of military strength in that continent had reached. Some even look forward to how the so-called devil’s power helped them fight.
Esselit believes that strength is the supremacy, and the soldiers and even many politicians around him are the same. If these guys from the East Continent showed that they were too weak, they might not be able to seek real help, but would only attract a group of hungry wolves.
The lookout report on the Red Clouds did see several chasing ships in the far southwest. So he agreed to the competition.
Huang Zheng and his men stayed on the Red Cloud. Eselite took them to the bridge because he wanted to command the battle. Of course, he confiscated their weapons and arranged gun-carrying soldiers behind them to take care of them. He didn’t know that he had brought a human-shaped bomb that could paralyze the ship to his control center.
He also asked with interest how Huang Zheng received the information from Houyi.
“This is the function of magic. You see it as the power of the devil, but what we think is how to use it to fight against those real devils.” Huang Zheng said with a little mystery. “As a soldier, you should understand how important such information exchange is on the battlefield. This is not the deceptive tricks in your legend, but a kind of application of ‘science’.” “For the first time someone dares to associate science with the power of the devil.” Esselite said.
“I don’t know how people here define science, but in my opinion it is a way to discover the laws of things and use the laws of things. It is not a scientific attitude to simply attribute magic power to the power of the devil.” Huang Zheng said. “Orientals, you would have tossed yourself to the stake in the early years,” Esselit said.
The Hongyun turned the direction and marched south with all his might. What surprised Esselit was that the other party’s two sailboats did not turn at the same time, only one turned the bow and sailed south.
Huang Zheng saw his thoughts and said, “Since it is a competition, of course it is only convincing for a ship.”
“Do you really understand the difference between the joint artillery on my ship and the ancient things on your ship?” Esselit asked.
The main guns on his ship are arranged in a font shape at both ends of the ship. In other words, attack the enemies in the front and rear, and there are three triple-mounted 280mm main guns that can fire. If it is an enemy on the side, there are four triple-mounted main guns that can fire. This does not include the two-piece eight-seater 180mm secondary cannon with a caliber that is comparable to the Houyi pneumatic cannon.
Huang Zheng said, “Don’t worry, there will be results in a while.” Although he said that, he was still worried. The Houyi, which was finally modified, has only more than twenty cannons on one side, and the caliber is only 200mm. Now I can only rely on the power of magic.
The speed of the Hongyun is relatively slow. When both ships are starting at full strength, the light Houyi is even faster.
It was about 1,500 meters ahead of the latter and arrived at the battlefield first.
