I send the system behind the scenes

The two groups of new naval forces were angry with each other, one by one screaming and rushing to the British ship to take prisoners, tied up the British army, got into the cockpit, and drove the ship away one after another.

If the British army did not respond to the loss of one or two ships at the beginning, it is understandable.

After all, Yan Shuangying used special anesthesia bombs from the No. 2 plane, the sound was very soft, and the movements were not large, and the counterattack of the British army was scattered, so the sound could not be transmitted very far.

But when Yan Shuangying started to take down the third ship and even the fourth ship without injury, General Hugh Goff, who was placed in the Chinese army, noticed something was wrong.

Although the current telescope technology is not so outrageous, the basic outline of a large ship can still be seen in the Chinese army.

General Hugh Goff’s decades of sailing career is extremely sensitive to the speed of the ship, and he can judge the speed by controlling the distance.

But now, the result of the judgment made his eyes slightly widen. The last two ships of his own family seemed to have stopped moving immediately, being thrown further and further away by the British expeditionary force.

Moreover, there is another ship whose speed is getting slower and slower. It can be seen at a glance that there is no power supply, and now it is just sliding forward by inertia.

what happened?What happened to the last few ships?Why stop?

I'm confused, that's impossible, they are all veterans who followed him in the South and North Wars, and the elites of the East India Company.

It's impossible to run away. Even if you want to run away, you won't stop stupidly. It feels more like something happened in the cockpit.

How can it be?The cockpit was heavily guarded by the British troops of the entire ship, and even if something happened to the cockpit, why didn't the other British troops on the ship take over?

Even if the cockpit was blown up and the ship couldn't move, why didn't the other British troops on the ship signal?He didn't even fire a shot at the sky, what the hell?

These are not what scares the British soldiers the most. The most important thing is that the British army can be sure that there are no enemy troops at all next to the ships that had the accident.

From the perspective of the telescope, only those strange ships stopped slowly, waving semaphore, but there was no response from the other side. The surrounding area was empty, only the boundless ocean.

The new navy has not yet appeared in the perspective of the British army, so why, what is wrong with the rear.

General Hugh Goff felt a chill down his back. He recalled the strange stories he had read, and thought of the mysterious oriental power. Could it be a ghost?

The general shuddered at the thought of this, but looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, are the ghosts in the east so outrageous?Not afraid of the sun.

There is a change, but I don't know the reason. There are not many roads in front of the general. Either the whole army stops and turns around to check the situation.

Either continue to move forward, regardless of the situation in the rear for the time being, and drive the fleet to Guangdong first. If you feel that the sea is very dangerous, you can bombard a piece of land in Xinming with giant artillery, and temporarily transfer to land.

The first strategy, which is to stop and turn around to check the situation, is a very safe behavior, but this strategy is not easy to do, and the cost is too high.

In the case of absolute advantage, if you choose to do this, you can say that you are cautious, of course, it can also be explained in another way, such as being afraid and not fighting.

For example, the priority of attacking Guangdong requested by the cabinet is not the primary target, which is disobedience, and the cabinet will not read detailed battle reports and detailed strategies.

The cabinet only looks at two things, whether the goal has been achieved, and whether the military has given itself face.

The charm of words is very great. Repeated defeats and repeated defeats have two meanings when read. If you change a few words, the context will change.

If the first strategy is chosen, there is no doubt that no matter what the outcome is, General Hugh Goff has chosen to avoid the war, tarnish his glory, and the military will be dissatisfied with him.

The British commander who commanded the Armada would not, and could not be, the kind of general who chose to avoid war when he had an absolute advantage.

If the follow-up investigation of these mutations does not affect the original decisive situation, it will become a stain on Hugh Goff's life.

There will never be a lack of hindsight in the world, or in other words, most people will look at the past from the present.

If your decision at that time was the right one from today's perspective, then you will be credited.

If from the current point of view, the decision at that time was wrong, then the consequences would be great.

In addition to the pressure on the military and future reputation, doing so also violated the orders of the cabinet and ignored the orders of the cabinet.

What the cabinet needs may be invincible generals, which will bring greater benefits to the cabinet, but what is most needed is loyal and obedient generals.

But General Hugh Goff is cautious by nature, so even choosing the first option may be bad for him, and there is almost no need to choose.

But General Hugh Goff was still very hesitant. For some reason, Hugh Goff felt that his mind was very restless.

Whenever I recall Xinming's extremely fast ship that I saw with a telescope for the first time, I always want to choose the first one, and I want to go to the back to have a look.

And I always feel that Xinming has a lot of secrets, which are not as easy to control as the Qing Dynasty.

Although the first kind is not good for oneself, it is easier to accept than the whole battle situation being out of control. Avoiding and not fighting is better than ruining the entire British Expeditionary Army, and the guilt is much lighter.

Thinking of this, Hugh Goff suddenly froze for a moment, wondering what was wrong with him, how could he think this way.

The British Empire is not Spain. The Armada of the British Empire is truly invincible, and it is impossible to repeat the mistakes of Spain.

And Xinming's strength, if you want to keep the British Expeditionary Force, it is a fantasy, and it is already considered excellent if it is not destroyed by the British army.

Are you really old? Compared with the daring to fight when you were young, now you don't think about victory, but think about defeat first, even if your own comprehensive strength far exceeds that of the enemy.

Perhaps, Hugh Goff comforted himself, the fast ship on the opposite side was some kind of unknown oriental deception, and he only saw one, didn't he?

What's more, if you choose to turn around, the situation of the entire fleet will be chaotic for a while. At that time, if Xinming wants to fight over, the situation that could have been crushed will become confusing.

At this moment, his adjutant came to report and told the general that he had observed the movements of the Xinming Navy.

The Xinming navy avoided the forefront of the British Empire Expeditionary Force, and it seemed that they did not intend to confront it head-on, and seemed to be fighting a interference war.

If the opponent is unwilling to confront head-on, or is unable to confront head-on, then the dominant side needs to advance as quickly as possible to end the battle with a thunderbolt.

Moreover, this is someone else's territory, and if it is dragged on for a long time, it will be not good for me.

Hugh Goff, who has thought about all the key points, knows that there will be no change now, and the strategy cannot be changed. The subsequent changes should be investigated after this battle is over.

Go to Guangdong, capture a piece of land, and go ashore directly. The order of the cabinet must be completed first. When General Hugh Goff wants to retire, he will get a medal.

As long as this site is within the range of the sea cannon, temporary safety can be guaranteed.

Keep going.
