It took more than five hours from the departure of the port in the morning to the complete destruction of this fleet of French sailing warships and Spanish merchant ships.

　　 When the Yanhuang fleet slowed down and returned to Norfolk Harbor, the sun had already begun to sink.

　　 Ishikuma didn't think that he was only going to sea to do a thorough sea trial, but in the end he encountered this fleet, and then the sea trial became a total actual battle.

　　 But in any case, actual combat is a hundred times stronger than sea trials. This can be seen from the smiles on the faces of the soldiers of the Yanhuang Fleet.

　　 Hekal also had a look of excitement, and he seemed to have more confidence in him.

　　 As the heir of a powerful tribe and even a superpower, self-confidence is one of the basic qualities Hekkale must possess. Obviously, he witnessed and participated in this naval battle with his own eyes. The crushing process and results allowed Hekal to see the strength of the Yanhuang fleet, which undoubtedly played a huge role in increasing his self-confidence.

　　 At night, a large-scale national carnival was held on the Emirates Square in Norfolk to celebrate the victory of the naval battle.

　　 Although this is only a trivial naval battle, the opponent has not yet the slightest strength to fight back, but for the navy of the entire Yanhuang tribe, this is the beginning of the journey.

　　 This naval battle, which occupies an absolute crushing advantage, not only strengthened the self-confidence of Hekal, but also strengthened the self-confidence of the naval officers.

　　 As the saying goes, a mule is a horse, and you'll know it after you pull it out and take a stroll.

　　 In the past, the navy officers only heard how powerful their steel battleships were. They would have an absolute crushing advantage against those Vasichu sailing battleships, but after all, they had never tried it.

　　 The only time I tried before was an inland armed transport ship versus a British armed merchant ship. But that is not the record of the steel battleship at all.

　　 As for the coastal defense artillery that sank 11 French warships, that was also the job of the coastal defense artillery regiment.

　　 These nine steel battleships built with a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources, look really domineering in appearance, but these nine battleships have never experienced actual combat. Moreover, every time before the sea trial, he had to go out to sea secretly. After a long time, the navy officers would naturally have doubts in their hearts.

　　 doubts about how powerful the battleship really is.

　　 Without this sudden naval battle, this kind of doubt will persist for a long time, and then slowly accumulate, and eventually, once it erupts, it will be a catastrophic consequence for the navy of the Yanhuang tribe.

　　 In fact, this is Shi Xiong's negligence. He patronizes the secrecy, but ignores people's psychological activities.

　　 It's all right now. Such a sudden naval battle finally completely dispelled the doubts in the hearts of all naval officers, and also allowed the naval officers to see the true power of their warships.

　　 That is a powerful force that has a crushing advantage over any current warship, and it is also a powerful force that can make the enemy completely desperate!

　　 A naval battle completely released the negative emotions in the hearts of the naval officers and greatly enhanced their self-confidence. This is undoubtedly a very beautiful development for the navy of the Yanhuang tribe.

　　 And what pleased Ishikuma and the naval officers the most was the warship itself.

　　 This naval battle can be said to be that in addition to the voyage, other aspects of the warship have been thoroughly revealed.

　　 Pursue the enemy at the highest speed, and then launch the artillery fire at the highest speed.

　　 Although the hit rate at long range is a little lower, when the distance between the battleship and the enemy ship is reduced to six kilometers, the hit rate of one's own side can be maintained at the level of 3%-4%.

At first, the navy officers were ashamed of this hit rate. After all, they have seen how high the hit rate of the shore defense artillery regiment is. The performance of the battleship’s main gun is higher than that of the shore defense artillery regime’s 105 guns, but the battleship’s main gun The hit rate is much lower than the 105 shots of the coastal defense artillery regiment.

It’s like comparing two people. The strong guy has much more power than the thin guy, but the thin guy can lift a hundred kilograms. A strong person can only lift a mere fifty kilograms no matter how hard he tries.

　　 Compared with the coastal defense artillery regiment, the fleet is undoubtedly the strong man.

　　 This is embarrassing...

　　 Although this naval battle eventually sank all the warships, it also captured all the enemy sailors floating on the sea—these sailors will be sent to mines in the mountainous area to the west to dig for a lifetime. But in front of his boss and the prince, the fleet's main gun hit rate is only so low, which is simply a shame for the entire fleet.

　　 When the naval battle just ended, all the naval officers, including Adrian Carlos, felt hot on their faces.

　　 Now the highly energetic naval officers want to do everything to perfection. This naval battle can be said to be perfect, but only this hit rate...

　　 Even during the evening carnival, although most of the sailors were enjoying the carnival, the admirals, including the captains and gunners of the ships, were still a little unhappy. This hit rate is really shameful.

　　 So Shixiong called these people to his side and said loudly: "You are actually doing very well, and your hit rate is actually really high!"

Adrian Carlos, who accompanied Shixiong throughout the naval battle, wanted to speak~lightnovelpub.net~ Shixiong waved his hand and did not let him say, but continued: "You are leading a battleship. Your main guns are not the coastal defense guns fixed in the fortresses. Without the fire control system, you only rely on simple gun sights to achieve a hit rate of more than 3% in such high-speed movement. It's really a feat that can be called a miracle!"

"Don't look at the coastal defense artillery regiment's hit rate even reaching 10%, but your hit rate of more than 3% is really better than the coastal defense artillery regiment's 20% hit rate. So. , You don’t need to belittle yourself, don’t feel embarrassed, what you have done today is excellent! At least I am very, very satisfied!"

　　 With these words, the captains of the nine warships, the numerous gunners, and Carlos's expressions are much better.

Carew can be considered familiar with the stone bear. After all, the stone bear was spent on the bridge of the Carlos. Therefore, Carew respectfully asked: "Great Chief of the Son of God, you are not for comfort. Are we saying this?"

Shi Xiong smiled and said: "Why? I'm telling the truth from my heart. My generals, what you did today is really great. Even I didn't expect you to hit such a hit rate. Your hit rate is already It's far beyond my expectation, it's true."

　　 Carlos finally got the chance to speak. He asked, "Boss, what exactly is the fire control system you just mentioned? Can that thing really increase the hit rate of our main guns?"

　　 Shixiong smiled and nodded, "Of course!"
