Major General Miller felt that he must have eaten too much of his teeth last night, which caused osteoporosis and triggered auditory hallucinations...

Going out to annihilate Benson's fleet?

Miller promised that this was the funniest joke he had ever heard since he was born, and if there were newspapers to select the 10 funniest sentences of the 19th century, this sentence would definitely be selected!

Annihilation?

Why do you annihilate a super fleet consisting of six first-class battleships with a total tonnage of more than 30,000 tons?

Just because of this cruiser, are there two other training ships that even artillery are temporarily installed?

If so, Major General Miller thinks that the Earl of North Sea must be crazy, and he is also a lunatic!

With such a huge difference in power comparison, if you want to say annihilation, did you not forget to add the ‘passive’ when you are sure to express it?

You are giving it to the Benson fleet 'go to be annihilated'!?

Thinking of this, Miller couldn't help but laugh, forgetting to cover up his 'natural teeth' in his mouth, and said, "Say it again? Are you going to annihilate Benson's fleet? Hahaha, are you sure that you are not the unlucky guy sent by the Earl of North Sea to die? Six armored battleships, even if they stop in place and let you fight, I'm afraid your artillery will not be able to penetrate their armor, right?"

"Whether to die or not is not said by your mouth. Hey, Major General, your mouth seems to be ulcerated very seriously..."

Gao Tianyang looked at Miller's broken mouth, and then patted the federal major general: "You can accompany me to enjoy it well on this ship. What are the six battleships? The young master did not take action before, because he was kind to you. Now that you annoyed him, he wants you to know that Buddha also has fire!"

Buddha, I believe in God!

Miller shut up and stopped talking, but instead was a little worried: this lunatic, pretending to be the Earl of North Sea, wouldn't he want to use it as bait to attract Benson's shells?

At this time, the Zhenshi had already sailed out of the channel and was about to leave the port. Miller calmed down and saw something wrong: Why is there a ship in front? Behind... why is the whistle of the freighter pulling up?

"Why are there so many ships... leaving the port?"

"Can't there be many? They all admire my young master's character and volunteer to follow the freighter to attack the Banson fleet!" Gao Tianyang smiled and said, "So I just said that there are more than me ships leaving the port, and the waterway is limited, so we must hurry up early!"

"The freighter...is it useful to hold a ball?"

Miller blurted out in surprise: This Earl of North Sea is not planning to let so many freighters participate in the war, right? It's really worrying...

He was not worried about Benson, but about these bewitched cargo ships: modern naval warfare relies on cannons and armor. What can these cargo ships do when they are big in their stomachs? All TMs are cannon fodder!

"It's not your final decision whether you can hit the ball or not. OK, Major General, just stay on the deck and watch the show obediently!"

On the morning of June 4, 1892, the San Francisco Commercial Port, which had been silent for more than ten days, finally became lively.

Starting from six o'clock in the morning, the first cargo ship slowly sailed out of the port, and the Zhenshi ranked 12th. It followed, and behind it, countless large and small cargo ships were waiting to raise their anchors and pull the flute to leave this commercial port that had been closed for ten days.

If you look down from the sky, this harbor is like a crowded market, or like a bumper car site in an amusement park... more than a hundred ships are spinning clumsyly, striving to squeeze into the only few waterways and go out to sea as soon as possible.

The national flags of various countries were raised on these ships, which were colorful and spectacular. Compared with them, the golden dragon flag on the Zhenshizi looked particularly eye-catching!

This is eye-catching not only because there is a vivid dragon painted on the flag, but also because there are a group of heroic soldiers with high-spirited guns standing under it.

The soldiers were composed of the Dragon Scale Army, the rookie sailors and the Expeditionary Army trained by Hong Zaimo. They were not many, but they were very energetic. Take the soldiers on the Zhenshi for example. At this moment, they only had one thought in their minds, that is, the "Young Master" who protected the bow of the ship, went to the sea to fight against the six battleships!

Not only were there soldiers on the Zhenshi, but in fact, there were Long Hao's soldiers on the other 100 ships (basically freighters) as well.

Someone may ask, is there enough manpower?

These are more than 100 cargo ships. Hasn’t the main force of the Dragon Scale Navy already moved south? Where did so many sailors come to watch over the cargo ships?

Here, I would like to thank the support of the maritime merchants such as Chini Caponela, as well as the helping hand of the suffering compatriots in Chinatown.

Each cargo ship has only two to three soldiers. The people who really control these cargo ships are sailors under the sea merchants and residents of Chinatown.

This is also the reason why these freighters with flags from various countries seem to have no charge bumper cars: because they are unfamiliar ships and there are too few people who know how to manipulate ships, most freighters seem to be learning to toddlers, and scratches happen from time to time.

Why are unfamiliar ships?

Hmm, isn't this obvious? The ships in the commercial port are not owned by Long Hao's family. In order to mobilize these ships, Long Hao has sprinkled a lot of gold and gold.

The main purpose of the gold dollar is not to spend the rent of the freighter, but to spend the hiring of sailors.

The ownership of the freighter is divided into two parts. One is pro-Earl, and only a symbolic rent is required, and the other is anti-Earl. Now Long Hao has shown his fangs. Wouldn't he be sick to give them rent?

The freighter is dead, but he is willing to force the levy, but the sailor is alive and difficult to force it. Otherwise, if you don’t work hard, you will be annoyed.

For this reason, Long Hao promised that every sailor who is willing to board the ship to help the freighter start in today's operation will give him $50 per person!

Those who don’t know how to drive a boat and are willing to board the boat and act as a labor force will also give you $20 per person!

If the person who unfortunately died in this operation will be compensated 5,000 US dollars for each family afterwards!

Money is paid in advance, so there are quite a few people who make money but don’t live. It has also made more than 100 freighters running at the same time, which has become a reality.

You won't open it?

Some people go to open it!

What, people who go there won't drive a boat?

What's the difficulty of opening a coal-burning ship? Under the guidance of the Earl of Beihai, you can touch the porcelain at most a few times, and it will be easier to do it slowly?

Whoever doesn’t make such money is a fool!

Besides, the Earl of North Sea has guaranteed that as long as we freighters drive 1,000 meters from the harbor in this operation, we can sail freely. There will be no rigid requirements, and we will not force us to fight the lives of those six cannon boats!

Long Hao's publicity was very good, and people nowadays did not have any awe of the armored battleships. So the US dollar flashed in front of him and everyone agreed with a warm heart.

Well, the reason why more than 100 freighters were able to operate at the same time was explained here. We temporarily look at the Benson fleet. After all, they are the ultimate **oss of this "full annihilation" operation. It is always a bit unreasonable not to introduce it.

Life at sea is extremely boring, and one or two can be seen from the British sailors who like to be with the right-hand dollar bills under Ferrymant.

Six battleships including the Gogol were extremely powerful in the past, but in fact, big guys like them stood on the sea, and the consumption was very small. It has been more than ten days. Whether it was coal-fired freshwater or American and British sailors, they were all very "calorized green". If they didn't enter the port, it would be no surprise that a sea-surface version of "camp roar" would happen.

Fortunately, there were cargo ships coming from the Pacific Ocean to relieve the fatigue of the sailors, otherwise Colonel Benson would have gone crazy first.

So, yesterday Long Hao sent someone to say he was going to leave the port. All the members of the six battleships breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely greeted the Earl of Beihai who "knows the current affairs" in his heart.

Things are finally coming to an end. We are finally going to set foot on the long-lost land!

This was the voice of Benson's fleet that night.

After midnight today, the Gogol and other six battleships turned the bow of the ship according to Long Hao's request and retreated for a kilometer, which was quite impatient. It was hoped that the sky would be dawn.

One kilometer retreat means that the fleet's blockade ability of the San Francisco Harbour has decreased by several levels. However, Benson and Ferrymant are very calm about this: it is just a thousand meters to retreat, and the blockade circle is a bit larger, but can it escape with the few small broken ships of the Earl of the North Sea?

However, at 5:40 am on June 4th, Benson put down the telescope in his hand and felt a little restless: "It's foggy, it's foggy at the port..."

Yes, San Francisco is known as the city of fog port. After more than a dozen days of sunshine, today it seemed like a coincidence. As soon as the sky brightens, thick white fog rises outside the harbor.

The white mist stretched for thousands of meters, wrapping up a commercial harbor tightly, causing the cargo ships inside to escape the surveillance of Benson and others.

When it was six to twenty, the bow of the first ship emerged from the mist. Benson slapped the table and said happily: "He came so early. This Earl of Beihai is impatient. Didn't he agree to be seven o'clock... Well, why are there more than one ship?"

There is indeed more than one ship!

Although the white fog is thick, when it reaches the edge, the hazy black shadows of the ships inside can still be seen. When the first commercial cargo ship appears, at least the shadows of three ships appear behind it!

"Is the Earl of Beihai so scared that he wants the ship to follow the trend?"

Feilimante touched his nose and half-jokingly said, "But what are the uses of several cargo ships? If we really want to touch him, wouldn't it be a matter of solving the problem with just a few shells?"

"Hmph, it's a good thing for us!"

Benson tilted his head and thought, and smiled: "When he boards the boat, the general can scare him more and ask for more benefits!"

Ferrymant also smiled and stroked his chin: "I'll be satisfied if he doesn't put a single sailor back and pay a few million more compensation... After all, he is a nobleman of my British Empire, so I can't force him too much."

But soon, Benson and Ferrymant's smiles frozen, and the atmosphere in the captain's room could not be relaxed.

Because, the freighter in the telescope is like a cockroach cub that hasn't opened the drawer for a long time, emerging from the white mist one by one, and it's endless!

"Why are there so many ships?"

"It's still going out!"

"Tsk tsk, they are all freighters? What's going on? Do they want to take the opportunity to escape from San Francisco?"

"A group of stupid calfs. We have fabricated the Earl of Beihai today and are about to enter the harbor to rest. Where can we fire? They are running a ball, stupid!"

On the six battleships, middle-level officers equipped with telescopes were sneering when they saw this, as if they were watching a nest of ants that were flooded and moving in a panic.

With the appearance of the Town Stone, freighters were still coming out from behind. Benson frowned and said, "Why are there still ships? Is that cruiser of Count Beihai? It's sandwiched among so many freighters. What the hell does Count Beihai want to do?"

Fortunately, the course of these ships was still towards the Gogol, so although Benson was puzzled, he had not yet figured out the true intention of the Townstone.

"He can't play tricks."

Feilimante said: "That is the cruiser of the Earl of North Sea, called the Townstone. As long as you keep an eye on this, the Earl of North Sea will be out of sight. Don't worry about the rest of the cargo ships."

At this time, the ships leaving the port were about 20, and the distance was gradually shrinking from the Benson fleet. From a high altitude, it was like a group of small fish slowly moving towards the six big fish.

At seven o'clock, the two training ships also rushed out of the white mist, and the number of ships floating on the sea increased to 50, while the Zhenshi entered the "clear range" of the telescope of Benson and others, surrounded by more than a dozen cargo ships.

The so-called clear range means that you can see the rough outline of the head on a ship.

"That person is Miller, and the person next to him is Earl of North Sea!"

Benson smiled at the corner of his mouth. If he had a target, he would just stare at the Town Stone. The rest of the ships could be ignored.

"What a Count of North Sea, that face. I recognize it!"

Feirimant was bragging, but in fact he only saw the complexion of the "Earl of North Sea". However, this did not prevent him from "biting" the other party's identity.

The yellow race is so tall and his clothes are dazzling. It would be strange if he is not the Count of Beihai!
