Different World Development Manual Chapter 211: Preliminary victory

Although Huaxia Shipbuilders sell modern ships to merchants in the flat world, ocean-going ships such as containers cannot be bought or used by the flat world countries at all.

Modern ocean-going ships are first of all too large in size, and ports in ordinary countries in the world on the ground cannot accommodate these large ships at all.

Secondly, the cost of a single ship is not acceptable to ordinary merchants in the world.

Even if they want to buy, they can only form a huge group, and use the financial resources of the group to buy together.

Furthermore, even if you buy such a ship, a level world sailor who has no knowledge of modern ship handling cannot operate such a ship.

In the end, it is necessary to hire a large number of Chinese sailors at a high price, which is not cost-effective for profit-seeking businessmen.

Therefore, it is aimed at the businessmen of the flat world, who are rich, but compared to the situation where the Chinese businessmen are not rich.

Those shipyards that built vintage sailing sailing boats also took second place and pushed out paddle steamers or propeller-powered Victorian ships.

The volume of these ships is larger than the average sailing ship, but much smaller than the volume of modern ocean-going ships.

A propeller-powered steam engine ship. Merchants in the flat world pooled some money, bought it, and hired some sailors. After a simple training, you can almost get started.

They can afford such a large ship.

The next thing is the much smaller paddle steamer, which is smaller and cheaper than the propeller steam engine boat.

But ships that are a lap larger than a sailing ship and have more power are popular with merchants around the world.

The merchants in the Varyag Republic basically bought steam engines like paddle steamers.

Of course, more businessmen are wooden sail cargo ships built directly from the "modern" assembly line ordered by China Shipyard.

Although the Varyag Republic is independent, the president, high-level officials, and members of the Varyag Guard all know it.

As an island nation, they will definitely face encirclement and suppression from the navy of the Camber Commercial Republic.

Therefore, President Varyag directly made two demands for the Navy.

One is to select some sailors who can join the Varyag Republic from the prison where the Campbell Army is held to join the Varyag navy.

And the sailors of the Varyag Guards formed the current navy of Varyag.

Take out the detained Camber warships in the port and use them against the naval fleet that is coming to Camber.

The second article is to use the paddle steamers purchased by the Varyag merchants to transport goods, all equipped with artillery and iron plates, and urgently converted into warships for use.

Varyag Navy hastily completed the militarization of civilian ships and the reorganization of the Camber Uprising Navy.

The Camber Fleet, which was the first to obtain information in the Eastern Nikiforus Sea, sailed towards the Varanga Republic.

Bulgar's gunfire broke out too suddenly, and the Governor's House in Camber didn't expect the residents of Vasilievsky Island to declare independence.

What was unexpected to the Government House was that many local Camber businessmen and dignitaries participated in it.

A huge Camber Naval formation consisting of 21 wooden sailing warships came from the nearby waters and was ordered by Camber Naval. After assembly, they headed for Vasilievsky Island, preparing to reinforce the island. The rebellious Camberer defenders.

This is an advance team, originally a battleship that flew a pirate flag to rob merchant ships nearby.

The true elite of the Camber Navy is the steam-powered ironclad ship purchased in the last two years.

It’s just that they are basically active in the Maryland Sea and the Apennines, so it will take a while to get to Vasilievsky Island.

Just as the Camber fleet entered the eastern waters of Vasilievsky, the watchman on the mast shouted: "12 Camber warships were found ahead!

The sailors on the deck are playing semaphores for us. They are warships that escaped from the vicinity of Vasilievsky Island. They hope to join our formation to suppress the great rebellion on Vasilievsky Island. "

The commander of the fleet squinted his eyes, raised the telescope hanging from his neck and looked into the distance. There are indeed 12 wooden sailing warships, and they are indeed of the Camber Navy model. They are indeed warships under the banner of the Camber Navy.

However, the semaphore of the opponent cannot confuse him, the commander of the fleet. The news from the Camber garrison on the island is that the entire island has been sealed, and all Camber warships have been detained. No one is exception.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for the fleet in front of us, and that is the rebels of Vasilievsky Island, under the banner of Camber, ready to mix into the formation, and then attack themselves.

The fleet commander snorted coldly and said, "Tell them to agree to join the formation and jointly suppress the rebellion on Vasilievsky Island."

"Yes!"

The standard-bearer raised a semaphore towards the "Camber" fleet, and the commander of the Camber fleet arranged for the deputy officer next to him: "Send all the personnel, prepare for battle.

We will do our best to put the opponent over, take advantage of the situation, and sink them. "

"Understood!"

Varyag navy really thought the other party believed it, and greeted the new navy officers and soldiers happily, and sailed towards the Camber fleet.

Once you join the formation of the Camber fleet, the Varyag navy can take advantage of its precautions and annihilate this fleet.

I have to say that the commander of the Varyag fleet is bold enough to let the Varyag fleet head towards the Camber fleet so carelessly.

However, the commander of the Camber fleet naturally saw the tricks of the commander of the Varyag fleet, when the Varyag fleet was about to enter the range of the Camber fleet.

I saw the Camber fleet immediately launched the battle line, and a series of guns were aimed at the Varanger fleet.

Varyag naval commander yelled badly: "I've got it, I was seen by the Campbells! Turn the rudder! Avoid shelling!"

However, the Varyag fleet was too late to turn the rudder. On the battle line of the Camber battleship, there was a roar of "Rumble" and the artillery shells flew directly towards the Varyag fleet.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

Fortunately, the hit rate was not particularly high, and a lot of water jets were stirred up next to the Varyag battleship.

Of course, there were also warships that were shot. The whole ship's gunk made a hole in it.

A squadron counted, the Camber Fleet directly damaged 4 Varyag warships, 2 of which lost power and floated in place.

However, when the Camber Navy thought it was going to win the first naval battle with the rebels, the watchman on the mast shouted: "No, there is an unknown steamship in the east!"

The commander of the Camberer navy was surprised: "Is it the rebel of Vasily Island?"

Varyag intends to fool the Camber Fleet Commander to play a combination of inside and outside, but he didn't expect the strategy to be seen through.

Fortunately, those steamships that were converted from civilian ships appeared in time. They made a big roundabout on the sea, rounded to the rear of the Camber fleet, and began to attack the Camber Navy.

The Camber Navy has to face 10 Varyag wooden sailing warships in the front, and beware of Varyag's steam warships in the back.

Want to turn the bow, seize the upper hand, and deal with Varyag's steam fleet.

However, the Varyag Sailing Fleet in front of him used artillery to drag them, so that they did not dare to let go of their hands and turn their heads.

Varyag’s steam fleet was quickly packed, and directly seized the T prefix~IndoMTL.com~ It was a big blow to Camber's fleet.

Camber's fleet had to fight back against the Varyag fleet in a state of inferior formation.

However, their counterattack was not satisfactory. After the modification of Varyag's steam engine ship, steel plates were urgently installed as armor. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an iron-clad ship.

The guns of the Camber Sailing Fleet are not modern artillery shells. They are solid shells, which can hardly pose any threat to Varyag's armored ships.

After the Camber Fleet desperately sank a wooden sailing warship from Varanga, it sank 7 warships under the attack of the Varanga fleet, and then declared its surrender.

There is no way if you don't surrender, you can't escape those steamships.

Since then, the crisis of the newly-born Varyag Republic has been basically resolved. The independence of Varyag Republic has also prompted people in other overseas territories in Camber, which has a lot of interests in China, to have a mindset.

Of course, this still needs a catalyst, a catalyst for the Camber Fleet, which "dominates" the Central Sea, to be unable to intervene in their struggle for independence and freedom.
