The sinking of the ship means that the old Spanish empire was also nominally involved in this crazy bombardment incident.

After these three days of bombing, Benson was crazy in everyone's eyes. Therefore, everyone agreed that he would fulfill his promise to the end: three days of bombarding the harbor, and then bombarding the dock!

May 29.

It's sunny, one day.

San Francisco.

The commercial wharf and a large area of ​​warehouses adjacent to the harbour have been cleared. No one has been on the usual busy wharf passages. Whether it is coolies or boat dealers, they have retreated to the safe area behind.

This place seemed to be specially vacated for the Benson fleet to bombard it.

After counting, it has been the seventh day since the Benson fleet blocked the harbor in the evening of May 23!

This week, major media across the United States have been working hard to report the battle here. Many photos taken on the first night have been sent to the East Coast by train. After selection, they have been published in various large publications.

The shape of the six battleships, the ugly face of Krim's embarrassment and arrogantness, the grievance and sincerity of the Earl of North Sea, the old Stevenson's endurance of humiliation... Through vivid photos, they were shown to the upper class in the eastern United States one by one, for

Long Hao won a large number of sympathizers and fans, and also sent a lot of hatred to Benson again.

Not only was the media industry working overtime and running with all the horsepower, but the military department, which was severely scolded by the White House, also sent a special investigation team to San Francisco: It’s not that they don’t want to dispatch nearby troops to San Francisco, but because it was naval artillery bombing.

, it is still the main gun of a battleship such as a big killer, and it doesn’t make sense no matter how many troops adjust it.

The heads of the military headquarters only hope that Benson can understand the situation and not resist the crime of "treason" to the end!

Yes, Benson is now a 'traitor' in the eyes of the White House politicians. The American leadership team represented by President Harrison hopes to send this naval colonel who has cast a great humiliation to the United States to hang directly... no,

It was a stolen frame. Even Benson, the military headquarters, relied on, felt extremely difficult about this situation and it was impossible to protect Benson.

If the Navy blocked San Francisco, it could be said that it was a misunderstanding. If the bombardment of the harbor, it could be said that Benson was eager to make contributions and wanted to capture the Earl of the North Sea, who was suspected of five missing destroyers, then when those six were obviously not the United States

The photos of the battleship ships were posted to Washington, and Benson's backer was completely out of the question.

Paralyzed, Benson, you bastard, you can really make trouble. Even the main battleship of the British Far East Fleet was borrowed by you!

Cao, you bastard, you want to piss me to death. I don’t care!

The U.S. Navy drove the British active gunboat with the American flag flying to bombard the American harbor metropolis. This nature is so bad, the behavior is so destructive, and the impact is so far-reaching that even the top leader of the military cannot resist it!

Therefore, Benson's backer made a quick decision and prepared to treat Benson as an abandoned son to calm the anger of all parties.

As for the impact of the photos of these six battleships once they reach Britain across the Atlantic Ocean, it is not something that the U.S. ministry dares to imagine. In short, if Benson can't come up with a little bit about the Earl of the North Sea, it's not something that the U.S. ministry dares to imagine.

The crime was so damn good!

Even the people in the military headquarters were implicated and smashed into the head.

However, before the shelling on the 29th, things happened...well, for Benson, there was a turning point!

At 9:38 am, the sunlight was like gold powder, sprinkled on the outward surface of the San Francisco Trade Harbour. The blue water seemed to be coated with an expensive precious metal, heavy and low-bright.

The inner edge of the harbor is a messy battlefield. This is the "bone buried" place of destroyed ships. Although there are no fireworks, the occasionally exposed steel edges and corners on the water still make people appreciate the cannons a few days ago.

The bombardment was so intense that I couldn't help but feel cold in my heart.

The fire was fired during the day and cleaned at night, but because the sea outlet was blocked, the ships could not go out, and the river was full, the cleaning work could be called stagnant. Generally, the fire was extinguished and the person who was sure that there was no drowning would be given up.

The dock managers estimate that even if the Benson fleet retreats now, it will take at least fifteen days to restore the smoothness of the trade port before the blockade!

After three days of bombardment, Benson's rookie sailors were also trained and made great progress. At this moment, according to the command of the commander, they were raising the firing angle of the artillery - because today's bombardment of the target

It's a dock, and the distance is even longer!

"The distance measurement is completed, the elevation angle is 37.5°!"

"The gun mount is fixed and can be loaded!"

"The bullet cabin is opened, start to plug in, and prepare to ignite!"

A loud shout came out from the American sailor's mouth. He heard the British sailor playing poker next to him, "The rookie is a rookie, and he shouts slogans when he is shooting cannons, he is really weak...

"Stop, stop!"

Just ten seconds before the ignition was about to be ignited, the Gogol suddenly heard a cry of chasing the sky, and the sound came from the captain's room.

“Why stop?”

The American sailors next to the fort stopped and looked at the messenger who was panting in wonder.

"Huhuhu... Let you stop. It's Captain Benson's order. Huhuhu, let's leave the fort!"

The messenger said angrily that he was not sure about the specific reason. He only knew that after reading a letter sent by Krem, Benson showed ecstasy and ordered him in an anxious tone.

Go and stop the fire.

Flagship, Captain's Room.

Benson laughed at the letter and said, "Okay, OK, Krem finally got a job this time! Earl of Beihai, I see how you deal with it this time! I want to use the media to put pressure on me, hum

Humph, this time I want you to shoot yourself in the foot!"

Feilimante was also in the captain's room. He was very happy about the shelling in the past three days, because twice the amount of shell loss was spent into the bag. Moreover, he was happy that this big incident had been passed back to Europe.

Back to the British Isles...

Seeing Benson laughing smugly, Ferrymant frowned: "Col. Benson, why should you stop the bombardment? What good news?"

Stop firing means reducing his money, and Ferrimant will of course be unhappy.

Benson was proud and did not keep it secret: "We found a survivor. Haha, I'm so lucky..."

"survivor?"

"Yes, it's those five missing destroyers!"

Benson smashed his fist: "He is a sailor on one of the ships. He was found by Krem. He can come out and testify to the Earl of the North Sea and prove that the disappearance of our five American destroyers are all related to him!"

"Oh. Those five ships were really killed by the Earl of North Sea...?"

Not to mention Benson, Ferrymant almost forgot about this: he wiped out all five destroyers with great speed. What is the ability of the Earl of North Sea?

"Hmph, you still don't believe it? I'm not sure I'll come to San Francisco? Am I, Benson, like such an impulsive person?"

Benson hummed with a nasal cavity and walked out to the captain's room: "Give me a flag verb, and the bombardment will be suspended for one day. Our Navy will hold a press conference at the Commercial Pier...!"

The press conference has recently become the most popular way to publish news. For a few days, Benson, who seemed to be vaguely feeling at a disadvantage in public opinion, has had a real witness this time, so he didn't borrow this popular method and launched an initiative against Long Hao.

The sharpest counterattack?

On the shore, Krim looked at the thin soldier in front of him and couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

It’s really a big cake from heaven... no, it’s a living person from heaven!

My God, I, Griffin, thank you very much!

The soldier Krem, who seemed to be dying in front of him, knew him. His name was Paul, and he was a sailor at the Seattle Naval Base. Moreover, he was on the list of missing persons on the five battleships this time!

Of course, Griffin Crim knew what it meant with Paul's appearance: this is the evidence that Benson dreamed of! This is the best evidence to claim to be a bombardment of justice!

Krim was happy and didn't bother to ask why Paul was here, where he went these days, or how the whereabouts of the five battleships... The first thing he did was to let the entourage give this happy news.

Bring it to Benson as soon as possible.

Indirectly, it also prevented today's shelling.

For the past three days, Krim felt his neck rolling back and forth on a guillotine. Because Benson was angry that Long Hao's rogue remorse and took his anger against Krim, he sent the poor captain back to the dock and warned him:

Try to collect evidence for me that the Earl of Beihai had five missing destroyers. If you can't get it, don't come back.

Krim was crying at that time, so he was making evidence? If I could get it, I would have got it long ago. Do you have to wait until today?

Captain, you are pushing me to the dead end!

In the past three days, although the three shells of Benson's fleet did not hit the shells ashore, after each shelling, Krem could feel the malicious intentions of the San Francisco police officers next to him. If it weren't for the Earl of North Sea,

He left a little conscience and waved his hand to stop the big and round gun police officers. Krim almost thought he was going to be dragged into the police station to guard the cell... he picked up soap!

But I didn't expect that finding evidence, a seemingly impossible task, was easily completed with the appearance of Paul!

Krim suppressed the urge to hug Paul and kiss him, and asked in a deep voice: "Paul, hurry up and tell me, what have you encountered these days? Why don't you contact the organization? Zhelin, Colin...Our

How are the five destroyers?”

"Everything is dead, dead... the other party is a devil, a devil..."

Not only was Paul weak, but his mental condition also was worrying. It took Krim a lot of time to finally figure out what Paul was going on and what happened to the five destroyers including the Zelin.

All five destroyers sank?!

None of the more than 200 sailors survived!?

All these are caused by a cruiser?

And it's not bombardment, but... a direct impact!!?

If it weren't for Paul's "weakness", Krim would have slapped him: Hey, are you crazy? The cruiser hit the destroyer, and it still hit five ships in a row? Who would believe you?

God, don’t play with me. How can you show off such a witness? How can you use it to accuse the Earl of the North Sea?

Krim was unwilling to give up and asked Paul several times repeatedly, but without exception, Paul's answer was that his own warship was sunk, and his brothers were drowned, and those who were not drowned were also the sailors of the Count of the North Sea.

He was shot dead with a gun on the boat...
