"Report to the captain!!!"

　　 "A distance of 18 kilometers, a large ship was found in the northeast and east!"

　　 "Comparison of markers, the flag of rice, the three-layer gun, and the bow of the trident Poseidon ship, confirmed to belong to the North American fleet of the Royal British Navy, the first-class battleship HMS Neptune!"

　　 "The target is at rest, the relative speed is 4.5 knots, and the contact is expected in two hours!"

　　 There was a thunderbolt.

　　 On June 15, 1786, after half a month of slow voyage, Valkyrie entered the target waters at sunrise, and the trace of the Neptune was discovered one and a half hours later.

　　 In the bright sun, this huge warship floated quietly on the sea of ​​gold and blue, gathering its minions, and showing her strength and beauty wantonly in front of the world.

　　 "110 level..."

　　 Lorraine lay on the observation platform in the middle of the mainmast, brewing vinegar. When he lowered his head, he saw Washington and the Navy's generals climbing the mast in an indescribable awkward posture.

　　 Hamilton is the fastest climbed among the people, this will have boarded the third observatory, which is 30 meters high.

　　 Lorraine caught a trace of mysterious inspiration, so he leaned out and shouted: "Mr. President, don't bow your head! Please tell yourself firmly that this pole will definitely not fall down like this, otherwise..."

　　 Before the words were finished, there was a soft wind blowing on the sea, and the Valkyrie shook. The amplitude of the sway increased with the elevation of the height, and it had become a violent swing in the middle of the mast.

With a swing span of one to two meters, the land ducks screamed strangely on the climbing ladder of the mast, calling for the deputy chief of staff Lieutenant General Lingoes to fall out. After a short free fall, they successfully transformed into human wind chimes on the mast. .

　　 "I didn't expect the navy to fall..."

　　 Lorraine rolled his eyes depressed, and moved two steps to get out of the middle of the observation platform.

　　 "Remove the sail, lower the sail, maintain the course, and sail steadily!"

　　 "The captain's order, catch the sail, lower the sail, keep the course unchanged, and sail steadily!"

　　 "Lower the sail! Lock the rudder!"

　　The wind chimes finally stopped shaking.

　　Lorraine's order is equivalent to making Valkyrie give up most of the side-cutting wind, only the hull and the waves are disturbed. While the ship's speed drops sharply, the shaking has also been reduced by almost 70%.

　　 The land ducks climbed up one by one, and when one came up, Edley handed them a monocular sight glass.

　　 Washington panted and walked to Lorraine: "Mr. President, when I was being pranked, I suddenly remembered that you are still a 26-year-old young man."

"So you just remembered it?" Lorraine raised his finger to a small black spot on the horizon, "I also remembered when the kind reminder was treated as a prank. It was your country’s lieutenant admiral who fell just now. ."

　　 Washington raised his sight glass and looked in the direction of Lorraine's fingers.

"The United States is a new country that has only been established for 10 years. Before joining the army, Lieutenant General Lingoes was the owner of a slave fleet. He is good at dispatching, proficient in finances, and his best-known ability is to know how to make the six ships under his name. The slave boat is always vigorous and well organized."

　　 "He is undoubtedly a competent naval staff officer, but because he is the second-generation heir to the fleet, he doesn't have much time on the ship, so he should not be able to perform the job as a crew member."

　　 Lorraine rolled his eyes: "Your requirements for a position are really low."

　　 "Maybe this is Xiaoguo's consciousness?"

　　 Washington finally found the Neptune, and the invincible that filled the frame rushed forward, crossing the 18 kilometers of the sea, easily knocking the sight glass out of the palm of his hand.

　　 The mirror tube made of beech fell to the ground with a chuckle. Washington maintained a long-distance posture and asked softly, "That behemoth...is the Neptune?"

　　 "The British full-load ocean-going Galen-type first-class battleship HMS Neptune, opened in 1757 and commissioned in 1762, is one of the seven existing first-class battleships of the Royal Navy."

　　 Lorraine recalled the Neptune in his memory with a slow rate of speech.

"The ship has a total length of 71.2 meters, a width of 17.1 meters, a mainmast height of 63 meters, full horizontal sails, stern sails, jibs, inter-triangular sails. The total sail area exceeds 5,500 square meters, with a downwind speed of 8 knots and a draft. It is 8.5 meters and fully loaded with 880 sailors."

"In terms of ship equipment, 110 guns are fully equipped. Among them, there are three main guns, 30 in the lower level, 32 pound and long range, 32 in the middle level, 24 pound and long range, and 32 in the upper level, 12 pound, and 60 guns. Two eight-pound mortars and two twelve-pound mid-range guns. There are three stern guns, each with four twelve-pound short-range guns, for a total of 12 guns."

　　 "You just called her a behemoth, which is accurate and inaccurate, because there are fewer than ten warships in this world that are truly qualified to fight her, and six of them are her sisters."

　　 "She is strong enough to be called the king, more accurately, she is the king of the ocean."

"You seem to know this behemoth very well..." Washington responded in a dull tone, "Ah... By the way, I almost forgot that you were the child of the Drake family and used to be at Plymouth Sea School. Honor student."

　　 "It turns out that Mr. President investigated me."

　　 "You know that was meant to be. Besides, if the investigation wasn't sufficiently detailed, how could I dare to let General Drake's brother be my captain?"

　　 "I think friendship is the main reason you picked me." Lorraine smiled.

"Friendship is emotional, not enough to convince those friends who worry about me." Washington leaned down, picked up the sight glass, and held it in his hand. The beast is comparable, is there the treasure of Spain in it?"

"Holy Trinity..." Lorraine narrowed her mouth insignificantly. "That's a noble princess who can't live without a nanny, but she has a four-story gun bay after all. If the wind is calm, Neptune may be in a duel. Lost to her in China."

　　 "What about your Valkyrie?"

"Valkyrie..." Lorraine pondered for a moment. "The crew of Valkyrie is less than half that of Neptune, and the United Kingdom has the best Marines in the world~lightnovelpub.net~short In military warfare, sixty-eight pounds is an invincible killer, and the sides have a side height of more than 4 meters, which means that I have no way to throw shots and chain bullets on the deck of Neptune, even if it is a zero angle of fire. , The twelve-pounder gun on the upper level of Neptune can also clean my deck condescendingly."

　　 "Mid-range...long-range...54 doors to 110 doors..."

　　 Lorraine spread his hand: "That's it, no matter what blessings I get, I have no chance of winning."

　　 "Then, why did the United States choose your warship?"

　　 "Because we have a speed difference of more than 6 knots, no matter what blessings she gets, she will never find a chance to fire at Valkyrie."

　　 "I won't catch up?"

　　 "The one who can catch up can't win."

　　The notch-like whisper ended, and Washington regained his pride: "I will let the Navy Department carefully consider the procurement plan, and now only wish God bless General Drake's sanity."

　　 "Shaq's advantage is knowledge, which I particularly hate most of the time."

"Is it?"

　　 "It's true." Lorraine played with the looking glass on his hand, "Mr. President, do you want to hang your Stars and Stripes?"

　　 "If I can, I would be honored."
