Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 60
"It's just that the opponent is too careless." Prince Heinrich said with a change of expression.

"Your Excellency, do you want to say: You fell down before I made any effort?" Yang Xin said with a smile.

This is the crushing of technology, but also the crushing of strength. The Dreadnought-class battleship is a cross-age design. Although it cannot be said to be a dimensionality reduction strike, the Dreadnought-class battleship is at least 20 years more advanced than the Yoshino.Facing the crushing at the technical level, the United Fleet of the Japanese Kingdom can only be beaten passively.

"Oh, if you fall behind, you will be beaten." Yang Xinchang sighed.

At the end of the battle, Yang Xin naturally took over the command and began to command the warships to take over the Japanese warships that surrendered, and at the same time sent small boats to rescue the Qing soldiers who fell into the water.

As the combined German and Chinese fleet approached slowly, Deng Shichang saw through the binoculars the huge figure on the Dreadnought-class battleship, and the rows of thick muzzles on the battleship, and finally understood why the Japanese combined fleet could only be beaten when facing this fleet. for the sake.

"What kind of battleship is this? Why is it so big? Why are there so many main guns on the battleship? And this rate of fire..." Deng Shichang looked at the Dreadnought-class battleship slowly approaching through the telescope, and couldn't help exclaiming in his heart.

Deng Shichang observed through a telescope and found that the main guns on the battleship were ten. The estimated diameter of the main guns was 11-13 inches, which was about [-] mm in millimeters, and the rate of fire was two to three rounds per minute.

Deng Shichang couldn't help taking a deep breath. Taking Dingyuan and Zhenyuan as references, there were only four 150mm main guns and two 3mm breech-loading secondary guns. Other small-caliber guns can be ignored, but The rate of fire of the main gun is [-] minutes.

In comparison, the second ship Dingzhen is not even worthy of carrying shoes. If the Beiyang Navy encounters this fleet, there will be no second result other than the destruction of the entire army.Not only Deng Shichang thought of this situation, but Liu Buchan, Ding Ruchang and others also thought of this result.

Watching the German-Chinese United Fleet approaching slowly, the Japanese United Fleet raised a white flag to surrender and waited to take over. The warships of the Beiyang Navy did not dare to move, and also stopped there obediently.

Deng Shichang finally saw clearly the national flag hoisted by this fleet. Deng Shichang found that each warship in this fleet had two kinds of flags, one was the national flag of the Second German Reich, and the other was the bright five-star red flag.

Deng Shichang and others know the national flag of the Second German Reich, but everyone does not know the five-star red flag, but no one dares to underestimate this flag.

"Ding Junmen, is this German fleet the reinforcements requested by Master Zhongtang?" Liu Buchan looked at Ding Ruchang and asked on the Dingyuan ship.

Ding Ruchang shook his head slowly, expressing that he didn't know.

"Then why did this German fleet attack the combined Japanese fleet?" Liu Buchan asked again.

Ding Ruchang still shook his head.

"Is this fleet an enemy or a friend?" Liu Buchan asked again.

"I don't know, but don't neglect the other party." Ding Ruchang said slowly.

"How should my Beiyang Navy respond now?" Liu Buchan finally asked the core.

"How to deal with it?" Ding Ruchang also frowned. Fighting, he must not be able to fight. His navy was on par with the United Fleet of the Japanese Kingdom, but looking at the United Fleet of the Japanese Kingdom now, they have no temper at all. , can only be caught obediently.

"Let's find out what the other party means first." Ding Ruchang finally said, he could only take one step at a time.

Liu Buchan immediately arranged for the soldiers to play the semaphore, but the fleet seemed to have not seen the semaphore and did not return at all.When Ding Ruchang, Liu Buchan, Deng Shichang and others saw that this fleet began to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water of the Beiyang Navy, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, at least they couldn't fight.

Deng Shichang was also rescued. When Deng Shichang was rescued and saw Chinese soldiers speaking Chinese in the fleet, Deng Shichang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again.

However, Deng Shichang's heart was immediately raised.

"Deng Guandai, our military seat welcomes you." After the rescue soldiers finished speaking, without further ado, they led Deng Shichang, his entourage Liu Zhong, and Deng Shichang's dog to the flagship where Yang Xin was.

After Deng Shichang climbed onto Yang Xin's flagship and stood on the battleship looking at the rows of thick gun muzzles, he sighed again and again. When Deng Shichang was taken to the captain's cabin, he found that not only was he being taken Come over, Ding Ruchang, Liu Buchan and other warship leaders were brought over.

Deng Shichang understands that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, so there is nothing wrong with being brought here. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Beiyang Navy was captured by others. You can't fight if you fight, and you can't run if you don't surrender. What else can you do if you don't surrender? The difference in strength is so different It is so big that surrendering or being invited to come here at this time is already a crime other than war.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Albert Wilhelm Heinrich, the deputy commander of this fleet." Prince Heinrich said.

Ding Ruchang and the others looked at each other, Li Hongzhang probably knew who the person in front of him was by hearing the name, but obviously, Ding Ruchang and the others didn't know that Liu Buchan, Ye Zugui and other generals also went to study in Britain, so they didn't know who the person in front of them was at all.

"Your Excellency Heinrich is the third child of the former Kaiser Frederick the Great, the younger brother of Kaiser Wilhelm II, whose mother is the eldest princess of Queen Victoria of Britain, and the current German admiral. You can call him Prince Heinrich." Yang Xin said directly.

"It turned out to be the prince of Germany." Ding Ruchang and others saluted one after another, but the salutes they made were a bit unsightly, because what Ding Ruchang and others did was to kneel and salute. Perhaps in Ding Ruchang's view, the status of Prince Heinrich It is equal to Prince Gong Guiziliu, so you have to kneel and worship."

"I don't know who you are?" Deng Shichang didn't kneel down, but just stared at Yang Xin standing next to Heinrich, because Deng Shichang keenly found that Yang Xin's status didn't seem to be lower than Prince Heinrich's, and Prince Heinrich also made it clear that he is the deputy commander of this fleet.

"Let me introduce, this is the Earl of the Far East personally conferred by His Majesty the German Emperor, the holder of the top Iron Cross, and also the commander-in-chief of the German-Chinese combined fleet, His Excellency Yang Xin." Prince Heinrich said seriously.

"Your Excellency is from my Qing Dynasty?" Deng Shichang narrowed his eyes and asked.

"I am a Han Chinese, a citizen of Huaxia." Yang Xin said coldly, "By the way, I have another identity, the county magistrate of Zhanjiang County, Guangzhou, and the commander-in-chief of Qiongzhou Prefecture."

Yang Xin's words immediately caused an uproar, but all the people here are smart people, knowing that their lives are in the hands of others, and they are not stupid enough to pose as a superior official. Obviously, as long as they are not blind or brain-dead, they are human beings. It can be seen that Yang Xin's identity is not simple, and Yang Xin is not the same as them.

"This is Nalan Yuanshu, Admiral of Guangzhou, this is Huang Feihong, owner of Baozhilin, and this is Sun Wen..." Yang Xin introduced them one by one.

Seeing Sun Wen, everyone's expressions changed.
