Under the blue sky, the waves are rolling.

As usual, Captain Zheng He walked out of the bridge in the early morning and stood on the bow deck looking at the sea and sky.

Originally this was a beautiful picture, but for Zheng He, who had been at sea for two weeks, no matter how beautiful the picture was, it became boring.

Zheng He was not looking at the seascape, but the English task force under his command.

In other words, the main fleet of the Purple Dragon Federation was specially used to 'blockade' the Iliba Peninsula.

The actual strength of this fleet is not strong, even Zheng He's flagship is an outdated steam ironclad ship, and it is also the only steam ironclad ship with an all-steel skeleton in the fleet.

The remaining dozen warships are all steam ships converted from sail warships, still wooden hulls, but with the addition of steam engines.

In addition to relying on sail power, it can also rely on steam power.

However, due to the average quality of steam engines, these modified sail steam warships often use steam power only when there is no wind and combat.

The Purple Dragon Federation has a history of sailing for hundreds of years, and it has always been the nautical overlord of the known world. It has many island colonies, so it has accumulated many sailing battleships before the first industrial revolution.

The Purple Dragon Federation has no decent opponents in the ocean, so in order to save costs, there are not many steam ironclads built. Most of them are experimental technical reserve battleships, which were built to climb the technology tree.

Therefore, most of the Zilong Federation is this modified sail battleship with steam engine.

They are the foundation for the Purple Dragon Federation to maintain its maritime hegemony.

As for the steam ironclad, it exists more as a deterrent force.

There were no warships in the Iliba Peninsula at all. Naturally, the English task force led by Zheng He belonged to the lowest-class ocean-going fleet. Except for the flagships, all of them were refitted sailing warships.

Many sailing warships are hundreds of years old...

Of course, no matter how old these warships are, they are more than enough to deal with the Han Empire without a navy.

It is precisely because this fleet is not valued that Zheng He can become the commander of this fleet.

Otherwise, the commander of a fleet would not be a person from a middle-class aristocracy at all.

The Purple Dragon Federation is a typical sea power country, and the gold content of naval officers is often higher than that of the army.

Therefore, Zheng He cherished this opportunity very much, and being able to take charge of a fleet alone, among the middle-class nobles, was already worthy of his boasting for a lifetime!

Of course, every day Zheng He would go to the deck to take a look at his fleet after getting up, to satisfy his vanity.

Today was originally the same as usual. After getting up and washing, Zheng He went to the deck to look around the ships for ten minutes, and then went back to have breakfast, but as soon as Zheng He stepped on the cleat, the surrounding crew and sailors heard terrified shouts.

Just when Zheng He wanted to ask, several tentacles that were thicker than his waist rose up from the sea!

The rushing water fell from the sky, watering Zheng He's well-maintained admiral's attire.

But at this time, Zheng He couldn't care about this anymore, he was completely stupid!

How can there be such a thick octopus tentacle in the world?

Could it be that I haven't woken up yet?

Just when Zheng He was dazed, his tentacles slammed down and hit the deck. One of the tentacles just covered Zheng He and smashed Zheng He's head directly into his chest cavity, turning his whole body into an oval meat sauce... …

The commander of the English task force was killed immediately...

Of course, no matter whether the admiral is killed or not, it has no meaning for this naval battle. When the flagship steam ironclad was dragged into the sea by a giant squid, the entire English task force was completely messed up!

One giant squid rushed out of the sea one after another, tying up the Federation ships fiercely, and then dragging them directly into the sea!

The vortex formed by the rapid sinking of the ship quickly engulfed the federal sailors who jumped into the sea, and no one survived!

In just half an hour, the entire English task force was dragged into the seabed by giant squid...

Wang Ziming, who used the Legion Link to direct this scene, saw that there was no more federal ships on the sea, and gave the giant squid an order to eat, and withdrew the Legion Link's mental power.

"This giant squid is as I expected, it's very useful, and it's as easy as an adult beating a baby to deal with the federal fleet.

Next, before the Commonwealth on the island of England did not respond, they would drag all their ships to the bottom of the sea!

Mmmm, especially those out of port!

To create a tide of fear among the Commonwealth, ships will be dragged to the bottom of the sea as soon as they leave port!

In this way, those civilian and commercial ships can be forced to stay in the harbor, and when I lead the army to land on the island of England, they will not be escaped by those ships. "

Wang Ziming did it as soon as he thought of it.

The sea is the home of giant squid. They rely on the ports of England Island as the core to continuously attack federal ships going out to sea, and deliberately send a few small civilian ships back to the port to spread the terrifying news.

The disappearance of the English task force made it difficult for the island of England to come up with a new fleet, and only a few spare warships could be used.

When the military of England Island sent these warships out to clear the so-called 'sea monsters', the whole army was naturally annihilated...

However, a plan is a plan after all. After the real battle, Wang Ziming found that the number of giant squid he had was too small~lightnovelpub.net~ It was impossible to block off the whole of England, so there were still many ships. The ship escaped back to the Commonwealth mainland.

As the news came back, the Supreme Council of the Federation, which was organizing the rebels to besiege the Wang family fief, easily selected an expedition fleet composed of hundreds of warships!

Including twelve steam ironclads!

The heritage of the Purple Dragon Federation is evident!

The Supreme Council of the Zilong Federation will never allow itself to lose its sea domination, especially the sea **** of the Han Empire!

Even if you can't beat Wang Ziming on land, if you lose again on the ocean, the Purple Dragon Federation will face a threat from the mainland!

More importantly, the island of England has been developed by the Purple Dragon Federation with a lot of money, and there are a large number of military factories on it. Once occupied by the Han Empire, the military strength of the Han Empire can step on the shoulders of the Purple Dragon Federation and jump to a level!

At present, the Han Empire can only manufacture rifle ammunition and imitation Wulianzhu rifles.

Artillery and water-cooled heavy machine guns are unable to imitate, even if there is a captured sample gun...

The arsenal left in the city of Reese is too backward.

However, the military factories on the island of England are built according to the standards after the outbreak of technology, which can produce all active federal equipment such as grenades, water-cooled heavy machine guns and even heavy artillery!
