【353】Benson is here(1/2)
As mentioned earlier, super consortiums such as Long Hao and Morgan are destined to be enemies on two roads. If they don’t defeat the other party, they will be swallowed up by the other party. This is either one or the other multiple-choice question, Long Hao has no choice!
Although Long Hao is now strong and has become an alchemist, he still needs to take his steps to shake a super consortium like Morgan.
While waiting for the battleship fleet of Ferrymante and Benson, Long Hao shelled the three merchant ships, not to demonstrate some damn "salvage", but to replenish his own golden resources.
The revenge-seeking fleet came too quickly, and it was too short to crush the five destroyers with the Demon Suppression last time, so Long Hao's golden source was not sufficient.
Although the "crash battle" that could hardly be called a naval battle ended frankly and gloriously, Long Hao knew it was hard to find Jinyuan that he had finally found from various ore profiteers.
The amount of energy is not enough.
If Long Hao wanted to fight against the six battleships that were coming in a fierce manner, he was not sure at the beginning. Fortunately, the appearance of John Holland made Long Hao spend three days to rush to create the Hidden Dragon-
No. 1. With this as a backing, Long Hao has the confidence to fight with the biggest killer on the ocean of this era - the battleship.
If it weren't for the submarine, Long Hao would have been strategically retreating long ago, so he would have avoided it first.
But then again, the submarine is a weapon sequence that Long Hao had planned long ago. Without any preparation, he would not recklessly destroy the five destroyers.
(It is undeniable that Long Hao's strong desire to consume a lot of energy from the golden source is the main cause of the naval battle.)
The "sewages" brought by that "reckless" naval battle are risks and opportunities. If Long Hao grasps it well, it may be able to establish the position of the Dragon Scale Party behind the scenes in the western United States in advance.
At present, it is approaching dusk and it is cloudy to beat the child. It is also idle. Long Hao sank these three merchant ships to replenish the gold source. The amount will not be too large, but if you add it, you will be able to control it by then.
Qianlong-1 will also be at ease and increase your chances of winning.
In front of everyone, Long Hao used extremely barbaric means to bombard two merchant ships, which had a triple meaning.
First, the rookie sailors and artillery on the Zhenshi were trained. Hehe, using the cannons of the armored warships to sink the "enemy ship", which is an extremely rare experience in today's peaceful era.
The war between the ironclad ships was generally believed to have originated from the Battle of Lissa in 1866. As for **, everyone knows that it is our shame on the Sino-Japanese War of 1895... In other words, in 1892, the naval battles between the ironclad ships were still very rare.
Second, kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Through the reporter's pen and mouth, Long Hao wants to let everyone know that if you cooperate with him, you have meat to eat. If you go against him, you must sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.
Third, Long Hao wanted to "eat" these three merchant ships to replenish the energy of the golden source, which was naturally difficult to carry out in broad daylight. Only by sinking it into the sea can it be swallowed.
Otherwise, a merchant ship dominated by steel melted openly on the sea, which is a bit difficult to explain...
So, although Long Hao is standing at the bow of the Zhenshi ship, he looks idle and only knows how to appreciate the tyrant of the merchant ship sinking, but in secret, he summoned the dragon boat and surrounded the merchant ship that sinks under the sea.
Feed your own source of gold with the steel that builds merchant ships.
A merchant ship. There are always hundreds of tons of steel, enough for dragon boats to swallow for a long time.
Although he is already a quasi-alchemist, unless the boy's qin exercises its effect, Long Hao's efficiency in absorbing gold sources is still very slow. Of course, this slowness needs to be quoted, if compared with the future alchemist
, Long Hao's speed is quite right!
However, if you want to have a thousand miles a day, like the silver spear washing, you can increase the energy of hundreds of golden sources in less than a few hours... It's really a dream. So, when the dragon boat sneaked the sunken merchant ship, the other party's melting
The speed is not fast, probably just accumulating the energy of the gold source for Longhao slowly at a speed of 5 pips per hour. Well, don't underestimate this mere 5 pips. If there is no finished steel as raw material, just rely on the dragon boat to directly extract the seawater.
The free metal element is more than twice as efficient.
The poor merchant ship was sank into the sea because Long Hao had to double the absorption speed by more than 3 pips per hour.
Long Hao didn't care about this: Anyway, it was the enemy's ship, and it would be bombarded if it was bombed. Should they still keep them to earn wealth for those maritime merchants and come back to make things difficult for me?
Long Hao's attitude towards the enemy was always killing everything and never showed any mercy. After seeing the second merchant ship completely lost its shadow on the sea, Chini Carbonella, who hid in the crowd in a low-key manner.
, The eyes finally got blurred, and I breathed a long sigh: Earl of Beihai, the enemy I made has become so great. Alas, this young oriental boy, doesn't he know at all what forbearance is, and does he have to show his sharpness?
Although Mrs. Chini was complaining, her body was getting hot uncontrollably: for many years, she had not felt the sense of security like today. She knew that the Dongfang in front of her only gave her a back
The boy treats his enemies like the cruelty of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, but as his ally, he is as safe as lying beside the warm fireplace in winter...
As the sky darkened, the sun finally restrained its light, and dusk came completely.
Long Hao turned his head, and his beautiful face became more mysterious in the intersection of light and darkness. Qi Ni's heart suddenly twitched: I thought I would die at the beginning, and this color was the one that was the one that was used by this young man to use magical means (referring to iron).
The American sailor was wrapped in a roll of rolls) and the god of death left!
"I think the two merchant ships are not enough to show the salvage technology I have mastered. Are you right? Mr. Dongdongke, Viscount Bentner?" Long Hao raised his two thin lips and drew a graceful arc
Lin, smiled and said, "I think there is still a wreck in order to demonstrate it."
Dongdongke is the New York Times reporter who was sentenced to death in advance.
Viscount Bentner is the owner of the only remaining merchant ship on the sea, the Danish noble.
“Yes, yes…”
Both Dongdongke and Bentner were as white as white as a face, bringing their skin tone forward.
After seeing the shelling that he had never seen before, Dong Dongke and Bentenner were so scared that they were almost experiencing anal pain. How could they dare to be a slight disobedient to this kind-hearted Earl of Beihai?
Bentner and three other merchant ship owners were all "invited" to the Town Stone by the Dragon Scale Navy. The other two, after the two shelling volleys in the first two, were so distressed and frightened that they were so scared that they were thrust over.
"Then do you agree? Tsk tsk, Viscount Bentner, you are a noble. Stand firmly and show your style as a Danish upper class... Alas, if you want to blame, don't blame me, you can only blame this Dongdongke
Sir, who made him question my salvage technology for no reason? Hehe, see if that red flag can keep swimming there, saying that the submarine cannot sail after diving. I think I can draw a discussion on the silence.
…” Long Hao smiled jokingly, while mocking him, he did not forget to hate the poor Dongdong Kola.
Yu Guang saw the resentment in Bentner's mung bean's eyes, and Dongdong Ke University complained and regretted: Mama Mia, if I had known that the Earl of Beihai was so reckless and would be so vengeful, I would not be the first to be a pioneer, by the way.
Is it easy to get $500 from the Morgan family? Not to mention that the money has not been received, I am still provoking a Danish nobleman with low IQ for nothing…
"Just as before. Viscount Bentner, you sign first!"
Long Hao smiled and waved his hand, and the Dragon Scale Army soldiers standing next to him gave paper and pen. It was a statement claiming that "voluntarily provided the merchant ship to Long Hao for salvage experiments." The two ship owners who had been picked up before
After being slapped a few times, they signed without exception.
This is a typical example of you making a tch and having to set up a stone!
I bs you!
Dong Dongke was angry and retorted. He thought that this Earl of Beihai was really good at doing things. Even when he was bombarded with a merchant ship, he had to use a contract to obtain the consent of the ship owner.
Not to mention whether the signing of this statement under threat has legal effect, but at least Bentner signed it will be a big trouble in the future.
Despicable and shameless!
Under the threat of the rifle, Bentner shook the fat unique to the nobles and marked the statement. After he finished signing, he hurriedly collected the paper.
, , thudding thudding thudding walked to Long Hao, handed it over, his eyes full of expectations.
What to expect?
Of course, it's the expectation of shooting!
The two cannons just now made the sailors so excited that they were numb. Now, they stared at the only remaining merchant ship on the sea, just like a bald veteran meeting his young wife on the ancient road...
Long Hao scanned the statement and handed it to Yu Haosheng: "No problem, Captain Yu, you can start shelling!"
"yes!"
Yu Haosheng's eyes were also shiny. He took the statement, saluted, and ran to the artillery room excitedly.
Can shoot again!
From the captain to the gunner, everyone was so excited that their bodies trembled. The long muzzle, as the wheel was rotating desperately, aimed at the merchant ship not far away.
Zhenshi is a cruiser purchased in the same batch as the scrapped Zhenshi, but its displacement and speed are smaller than that of the flagship. Therefore, according to the principle of getting what you pay for, Zhenshi only has 900,000 yuan.
US dollars.
The eight cruisers, with a total value of nearly 10 million US dollars, are considered the largest "arms procurement" invested by the Dragon Scale Navy. Objectively speaking, the "financial crisis" in Huaxia Town is somewhat inseparable from this kind of military and militarism.
After the eight cruisers were added, they may feel sorry for their investment in the early stage, so when the Dragon Scale Navy was training, the subjects such as artillery cost a lot, basically shaking the wheel axle, adjusting the focal length, and the artillery held the model and blasted the cannon.
Just run a few round trips between the charity store.
The real fireworks, except for the flagship Demon Suppression several times, the other seven cruisers have not yet been fired!
This is like masturbation. Once you have a target, you wipe and touch the barrel n times, but in the end you are not allowed to fire. How can you not let the sailors be hungry and thirsty, look dissatisfied?
It's better for the young master, it's better for the young master than the old father and mother! The first time we followed the young master to take action, there will be two living targets for us to shoot! These dragon scale navy thought happily, so in the first two
When the ship was fired, the artillery fire poured out as if the shells were not expensive. In almost the blink of an eye, the two merchant ships were beaten into hornets' nests, and the hull did not enter too quickly.
"Recharge, ignite!"
At least five artillery guns were installed on the side of Zhenshi, and the final preparations for launch were made.
However, at this moment, a dark and stern steel ship shadow appeared in the distant sea level...
———————
As a native British, Ferrimant has the inherent arrogance and arrogance of the British, so he now has a cold face and is extremely dissatisfied with Benson's command. However, Ferrimant, who has a sense of national superiority, does not have
Referring this dissatisfaction to words. He firmly abides by the old-fashioned creed: I just lent six battleships to this American, and how he commands the fleet to sail has nothing to do with me.
Perhaps because the cloud of gambling debts circled over his head, except for the beginning of leaving the Seattle port, Ferrymant communicated with Benson for a few words, and then he sat alone in his cabin without asking about anything outside.
It seems to be an outsider who borrowed money.
Ferrymant's negative emotions also spread the British sailors, the Royal Navy, who inherited Sir Nelson's glory. They scoffed at the rookie performance of the American sailors after boarding the ship. Although they all took some dollars that Benson had arranged,
, but they never took the initiative to correct many of the wrong meanings of the American sailors.
Humph, let it go. As long as we don’t sink our battleships, it doesn’t matter! Anyway, the fuel loss and other costs of the six battleships in this operation are all borne by Benson.
To be continued...
