The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

The sailors on the same ship were not surprised by his laughter, because they knew what the marshal was laughing at.

After the laughter, Clemento narrowed his eyes and said coldly:

"It turns out that during these few months, they were busy installing armor on the warships..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted:

"madness!"

"You Yan country guy pretending to be smart! Do you think that equipping your warship with iron armor will make it stronger? You are totally wrong!"

"With so much armor, your warships are as heavy as turtles! Even with a favorable wind, their speed will be greatly reduced."

"This type of ironclad warship can only play a very limited role in actual combat. When trapped in a siege of dense firepower, it can only passively take the beating and can't even escape!"

His words were verified. An officer put down his telescope and said hesitantly, "Marshal, I don't think I saw the muzzle of their ship's guns, or maybe it was too far away for me to see clearly."

Clemento waved his hand and continued:

"In order to put an ironclad ship to sea, other aspects of the ship must be compromised, the most important of which is the heavy gun turret. This is why our country has not used ironclad ships in the navy!"

"The power provided by the sails is not enough to allow the ironclad ships to sail normally. Although the ironclads improve the defense of the ship, they are only on the outer layer. In fact, they are not as strong as imagined, and their slow maneuverability makes them useless. At most, they can only serve as a deterrent in the near sea, and they can be used to fight some pirates."

"But in a regular naval battle, anyone who uses this kind of warship as the main force is simply courting death!"

"We are now in the upper hand, and they are facing the wind. These clumsy ironclad ships can't escape even if they want to!"

At this point, Clemento's already confident heart swelled again, and he laughed triumphantly:

"Good! Now we have the advantage!"

"No matter how we fight, we won't lose! We can win even if we fight randomly!"

"Come on! Let's sink these iron turtles! Sail at full speed! Kill them!"

Like Clemento, Federici, who was holding a telescope in the right-wing of the whale fleet, also gave roughly the same evaluation.

Because in recent years, at the instruction of King Saint Easter, Hungary has been casting super-class battleships, and at the beginning of the planning, some shipbuilding craftsmen had preliminarily designed the drawings of ironclad ships. From the drawings, compared with wooden warships, ironclad ships have greatly improved the hardness of the hull, but the problem is that these iron plates are too heavy. Even if the interior is made of wood and the outside is covered with iron armor, it is difficult to sail.

The craftsmen were certain that ironclad ships would be the trend of the future, but due to the lack of a strong driving force, the construction of ironclad ships could only remain on the drawing board. They then continued to cast large warships, which are today's Giant Whales.

The Giant Whale has not had any problems since it set sail. During the previous storm, the hull hardly shook. Now equipped with 148 guns, it is a unique behemoth even in the entire Allied fleet.

Federici put down the telescope, shook his head and sneered:

"In order to improve the ship's defense, they are willing to reduce the number of artillery. It seems that the Yan people have made preparations after the last battle. But are they preparing in the wrong direction?"

"To welcome us with a warship like this..."

"court death!"

He shouted loudly, and then said sternly: "Pass the order, once you are within range, fire all the shells and sink all these ironclad ships!"

"Be prepared to completely defeat them! Make them pay with blood! Even if they surrender, don't worry, we will keep fighting until all their warships sink to the bottom of the sea!"

"Yes! Marshal!" The soldiers responded in a loud voice with high morale on their faces.

On the other side, the Rose Fleet, which was sailing, made a move that no one expected.

While the countries of Sarri and Hungary were concentrating on staring at the Yan Kingdom warships on the sea ahead, the last warship of the Rose Fleet began to make an emergency turn.

This turn came suddenly, starting from the rear of the Rose Fleet and gradually spreading to the warships in the middle. The warships in the front row also began to turn their sails to turn.

Their sudden turn was gradually noticed by the other two countries, but because they were executing combat formations, in order to avoid collisions between warships, the fleets of the three countries had already separated and were in different positions.

In addition, the changes in the Rose Fleet were not informed to the other two countries in advance, so people in both countries were shocked at this moment.

It wasn't just these two countries that were shocked.

Opposite them, in the Yan State fleet that was raising its anchor, Qin Ze, who was on the ironclad ship at the rear, also frowned in surprise.

"What's going on? Are they fighting among themselves or are they afraid?"

"But we haven't flexed our muscles yet."

He muttered to himself, then looked up at the sky. The sun was about to set and the sky was beginning to darken.

The charming sunset is about to disappear and night is about to fall.

He took a deep breath and then said in a loud voice:

"Come on! Let's start!"

"This Battle of Bohr will establish the reputation of our Yan Nation overseas!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Immediately afterwards, a loud whistle sounded suddenly, and at the same time, in the huge coal-fired boiler rooms in the underwater compartments of each warship, shirtless soldiers were sweating profusely as they shoveled coal and threw it in.

After a large amount of coal entered the boiler, the flame burned more and more vigorously. In the blazing flame, the water in the steam engine above the boiler began to boil violently.

A large amount of high-pressure steam can be released from this, and then they rush into the cylinder, pushing the piston to start moving, the reversing valve moves accordingly, and high-pressure steam is injected again, and this cycle is repeated. The thrust generated makes the propellers at the bottom of the ship start flapping, stirring up the sea water and making the warship start moving.

And at sea, a large amount of white smoke is forming.

Without time to express his anger at the Rose Fleet's sudden action, Clemento looked up at the sea level and was shocked by the strange sight that was emerging there.

"What...what is this?!"

-

"Huh? Is their warship on fire?" Federici frowned and muttered to himself.

He, like everyone else, was clueless and had no idea what they were facing.
