While the infantrymen were busy digging trenches and mobilizing their troops, in the distant Orket.
On the surface, they let Li Zhang negotiate with us to delay time, but behind our backs, they're mobilizing troops to prepare for a counterattack!“
Ruferi angrily threw the telegram in his hand on the table. He was in a good mood. After a great victory, according to the previous routine, the Qing Kingdom would sue for peace, then open the trading ports, pay compensation, and build roads. Everything was logical. And just as he had expected, the Qing Kingdom had sent Li Zhang to negotiate.
However, all these fantasies were shattered by this telegram. The Qing army stopped the advance of the Orcuter army and began to exchange fire.
These monkeys must learn a lesson and let the Empire's navy teach them a lesson!“
He issued the order with a gloomy expression.
A telegram was sent to the distant east, ordering the Orckite army to launch a full-scale attack. They wanted to obtain enough results to force the people of the ancient country to yield.
Zhenhai Port
It could be said that all of the top forces of the Gu Nation Navy had been struck.
According to this world, with the increase in the weight of the military ships and the increase in the caliber of the cannons, the role of the fleet was not only to protect and intercept the sea route, but also to attack the enemy's coastline. Based on these two types of ships, two types of military ships were derived, which were ironclad ships and cruise ships.
The various countries had already begun to build larger and faster battle ships. They were currently in a confidential stage. Once they appeared, no one knew what kind of giant they would be.
At this moment, all the guards gathered together with Ding Ruzheng.
"Admiral! Why didn't we go back to Beiyang and stay here for so long?”
After escorting the defense headquarters, the Beiyang fleet was supposed to head north to defend Bohai Bay. However, they did not expect to enter the Nanyang Navy's military port at night and do a good job of concealment and vigilance.
"The emperor wants the shipyard to be safe, so he asked us to wait here.”
Ding Ru saw that it was almost time, so he simply told her his purpose.
"What is it? Sir, are you saying that the Zhou people might attack the shipyard? That's right. The shipyard could already build two thousand tons of ironclad ships. It would be a pity to destroy it.”
Lin Taizeng nodded and said. He was a descendant of Lin Zexu and had a certain prestige in the navy.
"You've underestimated our Emperor. Did he send so many people to the Northern Kingdom just to build a 2,000-ton warship? Preserve Mawei Shipyard, which could produce warships of 8,000 tons or even 10,000 tons.”
"That's great. Although the Long-Distance Ship is now the number one ship in the Pacific Rim, the difference in quantity is still very large compared to the French and British forces.”
When they heard that they knew about the Iron-armored Ship, they were extremely excited and full of anticipation.
"Sir, are you saying that everything was arranged by the emperor? Isn't that too hasty? The people of Zhou might not attack Ponytail. If they attack Bai Jin…"
Lin Taizeng was more conservative. He thought of some possibilities.
"Alright! It's almost time. Our emperor is not someone we can guess. Just do your job well!”
Ding Ru stood up and began to order the ships to replenish their ammunition and daily necessities. He remembered Li Zhang's words." There's no need to think about the Emperor's orders. Just carry them out!”
