Infinite Journey to the World of American Comics

Seven days later, in the South China Sea and off the coast of Macau, supply ships shuttled between the fleet and the Macau Port. Looking at the port in the distance, Portuguese soldiers had arrived at the gun emplacement tremblingly, and the coastal defense guns had also opened their guns. Got the gun jacket.

After closing the monocular, Sir Walder couldn't help but sneered, "Stupid Portuguese, do you want to stop the iron hoof of the British Empire with just such a few small cannons?"

"Your Majesty, with just one order from you, we can allow you to stay at the Governor's Palace of Macau tonight." Although Vincent, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looked upright, his words were quite high-level.

"Oh hehehe, there is no need, there is no need. Starting a war with other countries will cause His Majesty's displeasure. Besides, such a remote and small place is not worth the blood of our warriors here. Let's first put the established The goal is accomplished, with that island, the prosperity here will soon disappear."

"Your Excellency Sir, you are too considerate of us..."

Just when Vincent wanted to continue to boast, a soldier quickly ran up and said, "Report, the naval officer of the Qing Dynasty wants to see you."

"Oh, it seems that our good friend can't wait any longer. Well, please ask him to come up."

"Yes."

Soon, the soldiers came up with two men in official uniforms. The man in the back was a horse-faced man who had appeared in Lantau Island, and the man in the front had a long beard and a dignified appearance, but the corners of his eyes were upturned, looking a little cold. It was Guo Xuexian and Guo Po who took the initiative to join the Qing court.

Although he expressed disdain for the other party's fighting ability, Sir Walder still stood up politely and greeted the other party. After all, the other party represented this big country in the East, and due etiquette was still necessary.

"Hello, Sir Walder, I am Guo Xuexian, the commander of the Qing Dynasty Navy. I am here to welcome all the friends who have come from afar on behalf of Governor Zhang." After the long-bearded official greeted him, he said in fluent English.

"Hello Guo Shenjiang, I didn't expect your English to be so fluent."

"Haha, I had a lot of dealings with businessmen from your country in the early years, so I taught myself a little bit and showed off my shame." Seeing Sir Walder being so polite, the smile on Guo Xuexian's face became brighter and he bent even lower. , this Sir is the person in charge of the East India Company in the Far East, the Governor of Singapore, and his immediate boss Zhang Bailing is a frontier official of the same level.

"Okay, General Guo, don't say any more polite words. This time we are here to be invited to participate in your army's campaign to suppress pirates. I don't know how your arrangements are going."

"Sir, please rest assured. We have set up checkpoints on the sea routes around Lantau Island to ensure that all their main forces are in the water forts. We will defeat them in one fell swoop as long as your cannon fires and destroys their forts."

"Yes, that's right. By the way, General Guo, when we renovate the Lantau Terminal in the later stage, we should use a lot of materials. I wonder if General Guo has any connections in this area, so as to save us some trouble."

"Yes, yes, of course, Sir, don't worry, everything will be taken care of by me." Guo Podai assured her by patting her chest. This is a hugely profitable business. These British guys are so stupid that they can do a little bit of manipulation on their own. , you can make a fortune from it, which is faster than making money from piracy.

Of course, Walder over there has a similar idea. These stupid Qing people, with your help, I can build a fortress here, and all passing ships will depend on my face. , such a fragrant port will be called Hong Kong from now on.

"Oh, by the way, sir, I have some information that I need to remind you of." Seeing the huge profits to be made, Guo Podai became even more humble towards the British, and even did not hesitate to share the information she had just obtained with the other party.

"Oh, what information."

"A few days ago, a stranger came to Mrs. Qing's village. He was able to tame sharks and built an armored ship. You need to be careful when attacking."

"An ironclad battleship made entirely of steel"

"No, it's just an iron shell around the old lock ship."

"Haha, our country has also developed this kind of ironclad ship, but it is of no use." Vincent smiled contemptuously at the side, "General Guo may not know that the most important things in naval battles are firepower and speed. As for defense, then This is the last thing that needs to be considered, an ironclad ship, so what if it cannot be destroyed, if we use shotguns to kill all the sailors on it, the ship will be just a useless decoration."

"That's it, that's it." Guo Podai said quickly.

"Okay, Guo Shen will go back and inform Governor Zhang to prepare. We will unite to attack Lantau Island Water Village early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

After a night of silence, Guo Podai led his 20 warships to the battlefield early the next morning. Unfortunately, the old lock ship with a low hull was not able to join the fleet. He only got one The messenger.

"Master Guo, Commander Vincent asked me to inform you that because the speed difference is too big, we cannot launch an attack together. Please lead your fleet to lure the enemy's main fleet out first. We will launch a fatal attack at the appropriate time. One hit.”

"Damn the red-haired ghost, we are going to die first, and then they will pick peaches." When Ma Lian heard this, he immediately muttered in a low voice.

"Hmph, forget it, it's just some small losses on the left and right. Just wait for the red flag to come out and lead them towards the British fleet."

"Yes."

At this moment, off the coast of Lantau Island, warships flying red flags were already ready to go. On the largest armed merchant ship, Mrs. Qing was standing on the command platform in military uniform, wearing a red cloak, letting everyone Everyone saw her heroic appearance, and as for Zhang Baozai, he stood beside Richard.

"Mr. Li, can you do this ironclad ship?" Looking away from Mrs. Qing, Zhang Baozai couldn't help but raise a question to Richard, who was lying on the lounge chair behind him and basking in the sun. Richard had done nothing these days. , just knocking here and there on the ship all day long, he didn't see any new changes. Today was going to be a battlefield, so the ship sailed out of the dock again, and Mrs. Qing asked him to come. He was trying to help Richard, but he suspected that the battle would be lost before they even arrived at the battlefield.

"You've been asking for a few days, are you bothered? Anyway, I'm on this boat, and I'll live or die with the boat at most."

...There is no shortage of lives like yours in our village...

slam

The red flag was fluttering on the flagship, and a shout immediately came from the watchtower: "Madam's order, the whole army will attack."

The hard sails were opened one after another, and the warships began to slowly increase their speed, and the Zhiyuan was no exception. However, the extent of its speed increase was a little less obvious...

"Mr. Li, we are already in last place, can this boat go faster?"

"Why panic? I guarantee we can reach the battlefield."

Cheung Po Tsai had the intention to shoot Richard in the head, but unfortunately, even if he shot him to pieces, he would not be able to speed up the armored ship. He had no choice but to walk to the bow of the ship and watch Mrs. Qing and the others go away, but he did not notice that Richard had already Came to the side of the ship.
