Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1159

[Chapter 1146 Bombardment of London Port]

“Come, let me show you something.”

Liu Chen left the general to count the supplies and took Xie Yuan into Tangier’s war room. At this time, there was already a beautifully made sand table in the war room. , this sandbox has a map as the bottom and is filled with battleship models.

Xie Yuan’s eyes lit up when he saw it, “Liu Chen, your sand table is pretty good.”

With a proud smile, Liu Chen pointed in the direction of Britain and said: “During this period, I have been sending warships to patrol the Atlantic Ocean and constantly explore the navies of various countries. The situation, the current intelligence is displayed on this sand table. Overall, the British Navy currently has 278 warships. These warships are distributed in four major military ports in the UK, the most important of which is the Port of London. Xie

Yuan nodded and said, “What I’m worried about now is that the British Navy will not fight the empire head-on, but will play a hide-and-seek game with us.”

“Hey, I’m not afraid of that. As long as we blockade Britain, they will. They will definitely fight to the death, because if they don’t fight, they will die, and there is still a glimmer of hope for them, “Liu Chen said grimly.

Every time he thought of the humiliation he suffered in London, he wanted to pay it back to the British tenfold and a hundredfold.

“The emperor also means this, so that we don’t have to actively search for the British fleet, but directly blockade Britain. As for what happens during the blockade, it is up to us to do whatever we want.” Xie Yuan said.

Liu Chen nodded slightly and said: “But before heading to the UK, Tangier’s defense cannot be ignored. These Europeans’ weapons lag behind the empire, but they are not stupid. If Tangier is captured, our supply ship cannot Provide supplies for more than 80 warships.”

Regarding this issue, Xie Yuanshen agreed. Strategically, we must despise the enemy, but tactically we must pay attention to the enemy without any negligence.

“What we need to worry about now is Spain on the opposite side. If they suddenly attack when we attack Britain, it will be extremely detrimental to us. Therefore, I suggest delimiting a war zone in the Mediterranean area and inform Spain and Portugal that once their warships break into the war zone, It will be regarded as an act of war.” Xie Yuan drew an arc on the outside of Tangier.

Liu Chen showed an appreciative look, “This idea doesn’t come up, so we’ll do it. After notifying the location of the war zone, we will go to the UK.”

…

London.

Brooke has returned from Moscow, and the news he brought back suddenly filled London with clouds.

“Your Majesty, this is Queen Catherine’s reply. She said that as long as we meet their conditions, they will agree to launch an attack on the Chinese Empire in the east.” Brooke said cautiously.

“Blackmail, this is simply blackmail.” Murphy said angrily: “For these technologies, our UK has fallen into a war with the empire, but she wants to get it so easily.”

Victoria said: “If the UK If it is destroyed, there is no use in keeping these technologies. The most important thing now is to defeat the Eastern Empire. For this, it does not matter even if it provides technology to the entire Europe. “

“What your Majesty said is true. If the Empire takes over London, I believe they will. Take away the outstanding British scientists as soon as possible. “Brooke said: “Rather than destroy these geniuses by the empire, it is better to send them to Tsarist Russia.”

Murphy couldn’t help but sigh deeply after hearing this, even though he knew what Brooke and Vidomia said. It was right, but he still couldn’t bear that everything he had worked so hard for was so cheap to Tsarist Russia.

“We don’t have much time. The empire will launch an attack once the preparations are completed. Murphy, prepare now.”

After a pause, she said: “Brooke, go over with the agreement, I hope Yekarina will Follow your promise and launch an attack in the east. “

Yes, Your Majesty.” The two left in response.

After watching the two people disappear, Victoria came to the window of the castle and looked down at the streets of London.

Today’s London has lost its previous prosperity and order. Under the mobilization of war, the entire UK is in a state of war.

Defense fortifications were built everywhere on the streets. At the same time, the British Army expanded directly from 100,000 to 500,000 people. In addition, there were more militiamen with weapons, and both men, women, and children took up arms.

Once the Imperial armies are in bed, they will fight to the death against them.

“Come on, I will swallow you the bitter pill of war.” Victoria narrowed her eyes and said, she has decided to accompany Britain to fight to the end.

But her idea came to nothing after only ten days. The imperial fleet gathered outside the Port of London did not have any landing attempts. I came back again. “

On the King-class ironclad, Liu Chen looked at the Port of London with his binoculars. At this moment, he was filled with hatred. If it weren’t for Britain, how could they have suffered such humiliation.

Stroking the main gun of the King-class ironclad, Liu Chen said:” Sovereign, today is your day of revenge, use the artillery fire to vent your anger. “

Xie Yuan and Liu Chen were both on the King. Today’s imperial warships are all equipped with radio communications, and any warship can command the war.

He looked at the London Port not far away and narrowed his eyes, and then issued the order for the bombardment.

The order Arriving at each battleship, the battleship’s cannons began to adjust their angles, and the artillerymen loaded heavy shells into the gun chambers and waited for the order,

“Fire!” “

Everything was ready, Liu Chen roared and issued the order for the bombardment.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The artillery roared, and metal shells rushed out of the barrel. Some of them flew towards the port of London, and some of them flew directly to the port of London. The port buildings were destroyed.

In the bright fire and explosion, the London port instantly turned into a sea of fire. The buildings on the shore collapsed like crushed tofu after being hit by the shells.

On the streets of London, British citizens fled in all directions, screaming. They never thought that one day Britain would be attacked by other countries.

This self-confidence has lasted for hundreds of years in Britain, and today they have paid a heavy price for their stupidity and ignorance.

“Where are our fleets? Where are they? Come and kill these damn yellow-skinned pigs.”

A man yelled and cursed in a fortification on the street. He had participated in the crowds protesting the empire, and when the imperial fleet was detained After that, it became his daily conversation piece.

But now he was so frightened that he could only hide in the fortification and curse in despair.

Shells fell one after another, with endless explosions, flames, blood, broken limbs and screams. The Port of London and the surrounding area seemed to have become a hell on earth.

At this moment, the British, who were living in the dream of world domination, finally realized the fear of being dominated by war.
