Under the seemingly calm sea of ​​the Azov Islands, there are turbulent waves and undercurrents. A series of things may happen at any time, and Wu Nan has to be prepared.

I inspected the port and checked the coal reserves on the island, which is enough for thousands of merchant ships passing by for a month, and within this month, merchant ships from other countries will come here to sell coal, because at the moment Europe is A large number of sailing ships have been replaced by steam engines. Many merchant ships have already used steam engines. Merchant ships with sails and steam engines are now the mainstream.

But sails have become an auxiliary item. Only in order to save coal, when the sea is windy and the monsoon season is downwind, ordinary sailboats can run at a speed of eight or nine knots, and sails can also fly ten Sails are only used when the speed is one or two knots. Most people use steam engines, because steam engines can run at twelve knots at an economical speed.

The advancement of science and technology has made everyone use sails in the past. When the average minimum speed was three or four knots and the speed was slow, the highest speed was only six economic speeds. When the speed is increased, the situation that the sailboat can't hold the sails at a speed of more than ten knots, or the whole ship is at risk of disintegration is almost non-existent now.

All kinds of sails can also run to the fastest speed of twelve knots, and sometimes they can maintain a speed of ten to eleven knots for a long time, with an average speed of eight knots. With the addition of steam engines with small horsepower, they can also run ten knots. With a speed of three to four knots, merchant ships generally operate at an average speed of [-] knots and a maximum speed of [-] to [-] knots. Merchant ships are definitely not comparable to specially optimized warships.

A battleship can reach a speed of [-] knots if it is stable, with an average speed of [-] knots. Now it is basically required to break through [-] knots, just like when the clipper ship was first born, the fastest speed was [-] knots, or even a little more , with a speed of seventeen and a half knots. Later, the technology was transferred to warships. The estimated speed of warships was fourteen knots. In the end, it was able to maintain a speed of fifteen knots while focusing on defense and firepower.

At present, the speed of British warships, first-class battleships, and below is this speed. Only some steam engine warships with smaller tonnage can have a speed of 22 to [-] knots, and some special ones have climbed to [-] to [-] knots. At a speed of nine knots, the British are quickly catching up with the New Qin Empire, because the Ironclad Ship Type IV of the New Qin Empire has reached the fastest speed of [-] knots. Normal sailing uses a speed of [-] knots, and economic sailing is also at a speed of [-] knots. .

It can be said that they and the warships of the New Qin Empire are already in the sky and underground in terms of speed, but after the outbreak of the Ironclad Type [-], many ships were built. From the past, most of the fleets were equipped with the Ironclad Type [-], and a few Type [-] three times. The improved type, a total of [-] ships, have all been replaced by the [-]-ton ironclad type IV one-time improved model.

After the model was improved, the cruising mileage was increased, some coal bunkers were changed, and the tonnage of coal was increased, but the firepower did not change much. It was still a six-door backpack type, with a central axis arrangement and a four-corner rhombus arrangement. , plus 24 75mm secondary guns, eight 37mm rapid-fire guns, and two [-]mm rapid-fire guns.

In order to protect such a long and far-reaching territory, the Ironclad Type IV must realize ocean cruising, and its movements must ensure a combat distance of at least [-] nautical miles.

Each overseas territory has 35 Ironclad Type IV improvements, and the others are equipped with eliminated Type II and Type III III improvements.

The local Ironclad Ship Type 110 was basically sent to the Chinese Empire, because it received a large number of population and material support, as well as steam engine technical support, as well as telegraph technical support. A total of 30 ships were sent. It can be said that basically all but For those sent to overseas territories, there are only more than [-] Type [-] ironclad ships left in the local fleet. According to Mo Lin and Zhuang Lin's plan, the mainland should maintain at least [-] ships before they can be dispatched at any time to support various overseas territories or defend against the British. Sudden massive invasion.

Now Wunan is paying close attention to the Portuguese's reaction. It is impossible for the docile Portuguese not to regard this overseas territory as very important. Because the Portuguese territory is small, they must not be reconciled to losing such a large sea colony at once. .

Sure enough, within a few days, the adjutant reported that the activities of the Portuguese were becoming more and more rampant. They jumped up and down in the territory, contacted some hired sailors of foreign merchant ships, gathered forces, and prepared to make trouble in the port and the island. Part of it was divided, and they drove into important places to garrison, and at the same time sent cavalry to carry out tighter surrounding patrols.

Facing such martial law, the activities of the Portuguese immediately ceased, and then there was no activity for a few days, which made Wunan and the others feel very depressed. trade agreement.

Both parties can carry out commercial activities in each other's port and anywhere. The Portuguese's persistence and business habits for this port prevent them from giving up here. Most of the merchants here are Portuguese merchants, and the profits they create in a year are enough. There are millions of Spanish gold coins.

Nearly a third of the Azores' business income and taxes.

In this way, there are nearly 500 million in the hands of the Portuguese. After the construction of the New Qin Empire, the trade volume doubled at once, making the Portuguese even more jealous and planning to seize this place, but their strength is limited, but in the past two years they From the New Qin Empire and the United Kingdom, Spain purchased a lot of steam engine warships, and the strength of the fleet has improved again. It is estimated that this is also the reason for their expansion.

Wunan and the others also had to guard against it. There is no problem here at Hero Port, but there are nine island groups in the Azores, and there are also islands hundreds of kilometers away from Hero Port. It took at least one day. Later, the Type [-] Ironclad Ship shortened the distance and time, and it took about six to twelve hours to arrive.

In response to such things, Wu Nan asked for reinforcements from the mainland. Even the eliminated ironclad ships can increase the defense and maneuverability here, and he is short of naval officers. Lu Fang is not good enough. He asked Song Qing to be sent over to lead the fleet for reinforcements other places.

After a telegram passed, there was a reply soon. After half a month, Song Qing will lead the fleet from Xindingzhou to come here to support. Wu Nan can only pray that the Portuguese will not make trouble at this time.

In addition, if the Portuguese does not pick things, he also plans to take the small Portuguese island of Fulsa near the coast of Africa as a supply and outpost.

The first thousand and 450 chapters of the Portuguese rebellion 1

On the island of Folsa, the Portuguese fleet began to gather. Many Portuguese soldiers crowded the entire island. There were many camps on the island. Soldiers with European-style single-shot rifles sat on the spot on the hot island bored. Chatting, or looking at the scenery, or sneaking into the tents of tent merchants accompanying the army, using the military pay they just paid, doing things that men should do, playing dice, fighting, or in hidden corners Find a fancy woman inside and ecstasy.

In the tent not far away, the generals and colonels with pipes in their mouths are studying the chart nervously, studying how to defeat the fleet of the New Qin Empire in the Azov Islands. British men in blue or scarlet military uniforms, next to them are black bearskin hats, with royal emblems and copper-colored golden cats on the bearskin hats.

It can be seen that the British also participated in the war against the New Qin Empire, perhaps continuing to cooperate with the Portuguese to prepare for a major naval battle against the New Qin Empire.

The British never stopped their war with the New Qin Empire. They knew it in Wunan, and the British knew it too. The flags died down a while ago. The British just needed to develop their own warships, new ironclad ships. Now they think they should come out and touch the New Qin Empire again. The empire is gone, at least take it back first.

It was still John Bing, the major general. After being defeated by Mo Lin and Wu Nan last time, he had been sad for seven years. This time he returned to the ranks of the nobles and took charge of the fleet again. He was ready to take revenge.

Defeating where Wu Nan fell and where he got up, this is what Major General John Bing is more concerned about.

This time the British assembled nearly fifty ironclad ships. The new ironclad ships were no longer battleships. They knew that the battleships could not beat the battleships of the New Qin Empire, even the improved battleships of the New Qin Empire that they had captured. This time They completely abandoned this kind of slow warship, developed an ironclad ship with a speed of [-] knots, and immediately found the Portuguese. After a lot of understanding, reasoning, and exchange of interests, the Portuguese finally Agreed to cooperate and attack the original Portuguese colony occupied by Wunan and the others.

The first thousand and 450 chapters of the Portuguese rebellion 2

This time the Portuguese are forcing the ducks to go on the shelves. Maybe their strength has increased, and maybe their fleet has a lot of people, whether it is the army or the navy, but they feel heartache when they think of the ironclad ships of the New Qin Empire. Last time they were almost defeated. They were taken away from the hero port like chopping melons and vegetables, and they were beaten for the first time. The British united to drive away Wunan and their fleet, but the British suffered a little.

Nearly sixty auxiliary steam engine battleships and sail warships were captured by the New Qin Empire. For the second time, the British were not here, and Wu Nan brought only twenty ironclad ships, and only a few times of harassment and bombardment put the Portuguese They were hanged out, and after a half-hour naval battle, the Portuguese were driven out of Port of Heroes again. If the new Qin Empire hadn’t released the captives and the Portuguese governors had escaped quickly, the governors might have been captured by others.

Later, the British came. Although Wunan and the others were still inferior in terms of military strength during the Third World War, they gradually seized the initiative during the half-year struggle and completely wiped out a British super fleet, capturing many The first-class battleships, as well as the modified steam engine ironclads, the British ironclads, the British ironclads are as usual garbage, with weak firepower and poor defense, they were still defeated.

That was the first time that the New Qin Empire completely wiped out a British super fleet. It was only defeated before, but this time it was completely wiped out.

This made the Portuguese start to panic, and soon reached a commercial agreement with the New Qin Empire to sell the Azores to the New Qin Empire. Since then, the New Qin Empire has owned the Azores.

The Portuguese are very helpless. They can’t beat it. They have done many things like this before, and some of them didn’t even have these agreements. They directly occupied and declared where they belonged. It’s good that some countries in the country have national recognition. What they have to guard against is not the local aborigines. Sometimes they don’t need the consent of the aborigines to get land from them. It’s just for the consent of the pirate countries like them. mutual recognition.
