As the emperor fought, history was created by accident!

Yan Changwu once said to his officers: "You follow me to fight not only to gain money, status and honor, but more importantly, you will leave your name in military history and put it into history as a victor. This is hard to exchange for money. Therefore, you must work hard, work hard at any time, and never give up!"

Sure enough, we will soon create history and refresh history!

Needless to say anything, the officers are determined to fight hard and win this battle!

Compared with previous major battles, the South China fleet increased its number and reduced the types of battleships. The oldest "Nanhai-class" third-class battleships have withdrawn from the front line, which is very conducive to logistics supply.

The white-skinned battleships have a variety of models. For example, there are 37 Spanish battleships, at least six types of battleships, and the rest of the white-skinned battleships are not very good. Moreover, the types of Spanish artillery are not common in calibers, while the various artillery on the Nanhua warships are common, and the warship models are the same, making it very convenient to fight on other ships.

Faced with the upcoming battle, the general army expressed his confidence in winning!

Yan Donglai took the initiative and personally assigned tasks, and he was in charge of the central army and took the Imperial-level battleship No. 1 as the flagship.

The 50 battleships of the front army were led by Siresma, Cheng Yu and Zhao Tianjing, and the deputy generals were Liu Guoxuan, Shi Lang and Yang Zu;

The 50 battleships of the central army were led by Yan Donglai, Cabot, and Shi Daxuan, and the deputy generals were Zhang Jin, Weng Tianyou, and Gan Tang;

The 49 battleships of the rear army were led by Xiao Changrong, Yan Zhang and Costite, and the deputy generals were Zhang Shili, Zhang Qiang and Xu Weiye;

Everyone was in a vain. This was the arrangement of the generals in the last Mediterranean War. Yan Donglai followed the plan and did not make any changes.

As forwards, Siresma, Cheng Yu and Zhao Tianjing were extremely satisfied. They were both crazy people who were keen on rushing. Such an arrangement could not be better.

There was a foreign general among the senior officials. Cabot grinned and saw what he had.

An "Imperial-class" first-class battleship!

The imperial-class battleship is the pride of the Southeast Navy, with a light load displacement of 2,200 tons, a full load displacement of 3,600 tons, and 850 officers and soldiers on the ship.

But it is too big and too heavy. Siresma, who was more experienced than Cabot, likes fast battleships, so Cabot boarded a super battleship!

In this way, the four bosses agreed to Yan Donglai's military formation. Even if the other four bosses did not agree, they would pass the five to four. Everyone had no choice but to agree.

After the meeting ended, they returned to the team. Kabot happily took office on the "Imperial-level" ship No. 2 as if he was stepping on his feet!

...

It is better to have a big ship. He does not need to climb a monkey without any decent crawling on board a ship. In order to ensure the integration of the warship, he generally does not destroy the warship structure, so he does not use a springboard. If you want to board a ship from outside the ship, from generals to soldiers, you have to climb a rope ladder, without exception.

If you don’t climb rope ladders, there is a crane next to each warship to load and unload goods and use a hanging basket to lift wounded or patients. Therefore, it’s better to climb rope ladders, which shows that you are healthy and have the strength to climb!

The first-class battleship is different. There is an opening at the deck of the ship's body, where you can lower the gangway and walk from the dock to the battleship.

Since there was a gangway, why not use it? So with Cabot's order, the battleship drove from the sea anchorage to the dock.

When Cabot led his guards to the dock, he saw the majestic body of the first-class battleship anchored beside the dock.

The first-class battleship is 70 meters long and 16 meters wide. It is really tall and majestic, like a small hill!

Cabot looked at the hull number painted with the golden word "03", which represented the dignity, and the rest of the battleships were non-zero double-digit or triple-digit!

If the hull number is "01", it means that this is an imperial ship, and the emperor is here!

The ramp with a bloody red curtain went straight to the dock. When he stepped on the ramp, he heard a welcome song coming from the battleship.

Because the South Hua Empire was very rich, musical instruments were purchased on all battleships, and the sailors played guest bands. This could not only inspire morale during wartime, but also enrich the sailors' spare time.

Then the star-worthy official on the "Imperial Level" ship 2 shouted: "Admiral boarded the ship!"

Cabot took a deep breath and stepped onto the ship!

"Welcome to the general on the ship!" When Cabot walked onto the open-air deck on the battleship, a guard of honor composed of 100 officers and soldiers on the ship raised his hands to welcome his arrival, and the rest of the sailors lined up behind him.

Ordinary officers cannot enjoy such a pomp, but as an admiral of the South China Navy, Cabot, who has participated in the naval battles many times and served as the governor, is qualified to enjoy this welcome ceremony.

"Report to General, the captain of this ship, Yan Tianen, reported to General. Welcome the general to board the ship. The ship has 850 people, all of them are here!" A sturdy naval colonel raised his hand to greet Cabot and welcomed his arrival.

His surname is Yan!

Cabot has been in China for many years. He had known the worldly ways and dared not be arrogant. He returned the courtesy to Colonel Yan and said peacefully: "Thank you for your hard work, Captain!"

Colonel Yan briefly introduced the main officers on the ship, Deputy Captain Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Yide, Political Officer Lieutenant Colonel Cheng Jiajun, Marine Officer Lieutenant Colonel Meng Jianguo, Navigation Chief Major Zhang Jiandong, Deputy Navigation Chief Captain Chen Jining, Captain Xu Hongzhong, Gun Cannon Yang Xia, Deputy Gun Cannon Captain He Yixiang, Captain Zhang Zhenliang, Director of Affairs Captain Su Zheng, and Senior Non-commissioned officer Guo Xiangming.

Cabot glanced at them and knew that none of them were wilted seeds, all of whom were first-class heroes.

All the officers who can be transferred to the first-class battleship are not ordinary people. They are young and powerful, capable in action, and skilled in business.

Upon hearing that Zhang Yide and Cheng Jiajun had the certificate of the Navigation Commander, Cabot grinned: "Great, this ship has seven navigator officers, so there are no need to work so hard on night shifts!"

Everyone laughed. Naval officers are respected among the naval officers, and the maneuvering of sailboats is too troublesome. There are so many navigators on this No. 2 ship, which is the benefit of the large ship.

First raise the national flag and sing the national anthem!

The ship band showed off their skills and skillfully played the national anthem. Cabot sang "If Tomorrow's War" with the officers and soldiers: "If Tomorrow's War, if the enemy attacks, if he dares to attack us, all the subjects of the empire are united as one person to beat the enemy to the point of falling into tears..."

The national flag was raised to the top of the mast, and then Cabot's four-star flag was raised in the cheerful tone of the Guangdong music "Victory Order"!

When his flag is raised, it means that he is the most outstanding officer of the ship.

Accompanied by Colonel Yan, holding a saber, Cabot inspected the guard of honor on this ship.

The officers and sailors held muskets. They were tall and strong, standing straight, wearing exquisite uniforms, with dazzling blue and white on the deck, which was very conspicuous on the shiny deck.

Everyone stared at him intently. On this giant cannon ship, even Cabot, who had been through many battles, felt a burst of pride and satisfaction!

He, a mere foreign general, was able to reach the pinnacle of his life in the east, tens of thousands of miles away from his hometown England!

If it were the fleets of other maritime powers, only the royal family could command such large ships?!

And he, Cabot, was just the second son of a little lord who was unsuccessful when he came to the East, and he had no right to inherit!
Chapter completed!
