【366】 Really fired!(1/2)

On the surging sea, six powerful battleships finally stopped, and the back seats of their turrets finally sat on the proud British sailors, and the thick and scary gun barrels were like Titan's arms.

, and slowly lifted up.

Because the docking places of the six battleships including the Gogol are too close to the dock, those with slightly better eyesight on the shore can clearly see the sailors' every move, so it is like lifting the gun barrel.

It would be strange if you don’t cause a major commotion!

"It's going to be bombarded, everyone run away!"

"It's really going to be bombarded! Woooo, the Federation of Freedom is going to be bombarded by its own navy. This is ridiculous. Is there any reason for this?"

"Mad, who told me that America is a paradise of freedom? How could such an outrageous thing happen? Woooo, it happened after I tried every means to smuggle here..."

"Shh, there are policemen next to you. Do you want to be sent back to the Philippines when you shout so loudly?"

"It's better to die than be a servant here!"

...

The preparations before the bombardment scared a large number of people on the dock.

Because not everyone can be fearless in the face of death. Even if it is beautiful, once the moment of life and death is reached, the essence of human nature will appear.

No, pushing, scolding, robbing, and ugliness, all kinds of ugliness are happening frequently on the dock. It seems that the other party's shells have not been fired yet, and a big bomb called "panic" will give everyone in advance.

Destroyed!

Dingbokou, Town Stone No.

Long Hao was still standing on the side of the boat, frowned, and Yuaner and Ai Shili also ran out of the cabin and shouted anxiously: "Young Master, the enemy is going to shell the enemy. You, aren't you coming in yet? Hide and hide

Go to Qianlong-1!"

Long Hao's eyes flashed, he shook his head, patted Ai Shili's little hand that was coming up and pulling, and said in a deep voice: "Transfer my order to block all telegram and telephone lines from San Francisco to the outside world. Humph, Benson is going crazy, I can temporarily

I don’t have time to accompany him crazy!”

After saying that, Long Hao got into the cabin, picked up the microphone, and connected the exchange's t.k Morgan: "The situation has changed. Sell the stocks in my hand for me. Yes, hurry up. As soon as possible!"

Because the Townstone number is docked at the shore, there is a dedicated line that directly connects to the San Francisco Exchange.

At this time, t.k Morgan was still happily admiring the stock price of the Earl sector on the exchange. After hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Sell? Otherwise, wait, it will close soon, and it is still rising now.

Woolen cloth……"

"t.k, if you ask you to throw it, I will tell you. Benson's fleet is about to bombard the harbor, and I can only block this news for a short while. If it's too late, it's too late to throw it!"

After Long Hao said this, before he put down the phone receiver in his hand, he heard a loud bang outside the cabin, as if Thor was coming to the world, causing a strong shock. It seemed that even the Zhenshi number that had been fixed on the anchor was hit.

It shook for a while.

Benson, bombarded!

Yes, amid the constant curses in Benson's heart, at 11:34 am on May 24, 1892, the Battleship Pushkin was the first to fire, a 14-inch shell landed accurately on the

The 50-meter-long shipless sea outside the harbor, the splashing waves rose to ten meters high, and the drops of water sprinkled like bullets, poured at least five moored merchant ships.

Pushkin opened, and then, the Rudehuan, Modet and Quidxia Leyan also fired the main guns on their ships once under the control of the British sailors.

None of these three shells hit the ship or hit the dock, but landed in the waters of the neighboring merchant ships. With the huge waves and the water column soaring into the sky, the owners of the merchant ships made them cover their hearts one by one and shouted loudly.

: "My God, my Allah, please tell you the devout believers that all this is dreaming and nightmares..."

This is the first time Long Hao saw the battleship open fire, like a loud bang of an earthquake, a dazzling fire ball as bright as a comet, and the huge water column that stirred up, black smoke rumbling, and war drums beating, as if everything was about Long Hao

Declaration of War: Look, this is the most powerful weapon of this era. In front of it, even if you are an alchemist, you have to bow your head and surrender!?

The four main guns of the battleship did scare everyone on the San Francisco Pier to whiten their faces and their legs were also weakened. However... Long Hao did not include this, but seeing Long Hao's face calm and his eyes were firm:

He admitted that the main gun of the battleship was indeed very powerful, but he wanted to scare him, Long Hao, and he was still not in the time to ignite the fire.

Because the six battleships including the Gogol are not the top battleships of this era, and their artillery is powerful, but there is still a considerable gap compared to some national-level military exercises that Long Hao had seen in his previous life.

What's more, Benson's intention was not to kill but to intimidate. Therefore, all the shells were shot into the sea, and their visual effect was much worse than directly bombarding a ship or a shore building.

However, even if the power of this kind of bombardment cannot scare Long Hao, it will be enough to make others urinate and break their hearts... Niangle, this is the most terrifying main gun of the battleship in the world!

Even if it falls into the sea by mistake, it will probably kill several tons of fish!

The 'others' here also include Colonel Benson who ordered the bombardment. To be ashamed, as the highest commander of the US Navy on the West Coast, Benson actually saw the main guns of a battleship for the first time, and after seeing it, he saw it.

Just like this, this cannon was so loud that it was terrifying!

Although the Gogol where Benson is located has not fired, through the telescope, Benson has witnessed the entire process of firing the other four battleships.

The steel-cast gun barrel is controlled by sailors, and the hinges flow and slowly lifted up. After adjusting the angle, a fireball was born at the muzzle! The birth of the fireball was accompanied by the huge sound of cannons and huge shells.

The speed invisible to the naked eye cuts through the sky and hits the target directly! This is the duo of steel and fire, this is the most deafening and thrilling gunboat treble in the world!

Four consecutive shots completely mobilized Colonel Benson's mood. He raised his arms and said inspiration: "Hahaha, this is the shooting, this is the deterrence! The little Earl of North Sea. Your courage is scared.

Well! Those miscellaneous soldiers in Spain, see if you dare to continue to shelter that lucky boy from the East! Kill, kill, I kill..."

However, people are always everywhere, so it's not. General Ferrymant said in Colonel Benson's ear: "Four shells, each with four times the market price loss, Little Benson, you're good at shooting the cannon

Now, remember to pay this money later!”

When Benson thought of money, his passionate emotions fell halfway, and he kept cursing in his heart: Damn British guy, you know you want money, money. Is there only money left in your little eyes? Your country

What about the naval spirit? What about the supreme glory of your empire without setting sun? No wonder you are just a second-in-command of the Far East Fleet, or a second-in-command of gambling debts with gambling addiction!!

Benson cursed, but it was just fulfilling a famous saying: When the cannon fires, there will be ten thousand taels of gold! Benson scratched his head and began to hesitate whether to shoot the next shot, whether someone should send out flag words, and check his four shots just now.

The effect of intimidation.

Benson was thinking, but his four cannons seemed like a tsunami, instantly sweeping across the entire San Francisco's commercial port!

Everyone's thinking seemed to stagnate as the water column rose. Different people were shocked differently.

Niangle, those bastards in the Navy. They are really bombarded! Woooo, my merchant ship, my cargo! Oh, the shell just now is only a few dozen meters away. If it hits me, I will be in the second half of my life.

Who are you looking for to find?

This is the voice of foreign maritime merchants on the dock. Their merchant ships were blocked in the commercial port and could not be released. They could only watch their wealth at the spray port of the volcano. With a deviation, the wealth they had accumulated for half their life would be transformed.

It's gone.

At this time, they hated the heavens, the earth and the government, hated both the Benson fleet and the Earl of Beihai. They can be said to be the "first resentful woman" on the dock at this moment.

The merchant ship owners are such "resentful women", but they are still on a relatively safe shore. In comparison, the crew members who still believe that they will not be bombarded and are foolishly sticking to their respective merchant ships can't sit still!

Damn, the shells are all hit in front of us, but we won’t run away yet. Aren’t we going to play with this broken ship? Run, who doesn’t run away is your grandson!

At present, they ignored the high left-behind bonus, and they were like wild dogs that broke away from their reins and fled to the shore while stepping on the springboard. They didn't care whether the employer's merchant ship was dead or alive.

For a time, countless merchant ships were like hornets' nests with cages, with clearly visible heads constantly rushing outwards.

The crew members didn't care about their employers anymore, and the coolies at the dock even slid their feet and slipped quickly. They all earned their own money, and their bodies were the capital to survive. If they were to watch the fun, they would be blown away half of their arms and legs.

, that's too unpaid!

Most of the people related to the merchant ships were panicked, but the municipal officials led by Old Stevenson had a pale face: Is this a slap in the face? We just promised the masses that we must resist the naval fleet to death.

Domineering and still lively, the shells are coming?

Could it be that we officials really have to mount self-defense pistols to fight with the six battleships that are so powerful that they will never be destroyed?

Grass, can you fight with me?

If the battleship is placed near the harbor, it will be an unsolvable death. Even if you transfer tens of thousands of troops, you will be completely destroyed under the overwhelming bombardment of the main gun!

"What should I do? What should I do? Should I telecommunicate the White House?"

"Yes, Mayor, open the telegram and telephone line. If you fight again, our San Francisco will be bombarded by shells!"

"Yes, it's the sea area now, it's the port soon, and then the city area next! Since these Qiu Ba, since they are on the first day of the New Year, they are not afraid of being on the fifteenth day of the year!"

"Retreat, let's evacuate this dangerous area first!"

Old Stevenson's aides all advised that they followed Old Stevenson's lead, and that if the mayor unfortunately died on the front line, their future would be bleak.

"Don't worry, let's see the situation first!"

Although Old Stevenson's face was extremely bad, he had already received Long Hao's explanation. He had multiple plans in his mind, and was not completely mentally prepared for the shelling of Benson's fleet: "Well, have you noticed it.

, the four shells were all hit in the sea. I think this was a threat from the navy, not that they were going to really bombard the port!"

"What you said may make sense, but life is important and you can't be joked about it!"

The staff are still trying their best to persuade.

"Needless to say, I have decided. I am the mayor of a San Francisco. If I retreat, what should the citizens think of me? I will be stabbed by the backbone..."

Old Stevenson shook his head and said firmly.

Of course, he didn't say anything in his stomach: You know what the ball is, my relationship with Young Master Long has long been prosperous and both of them will be lost. He is still on the Zhenshi number. If I run away now, I will run away.

No matter what the outcome is, I still find it difficult to get good from the old masters!

The "old Gao" in Old Stevenson's heart naturally refers to Gao Tianyang, the deputy leader of the SS.

When the bombardment occurred without warning, he was also stunned, and then he smashed his fist heavily and cursed: "Did this Benson use the borrowed battleship to make a fuss? I fuck him, he really fired the fire.

Huh. The worst situation that the young master predicted happened. If you pass on my order, all the personnel will enter a state of combat readiness... First control Krim, and then arrange the railway outside San Francisco, and be sure to ensure things
