In the next few days, battleships in the harbor came out in the air to conduct formation drills so that the officers and soldiers could further cooperate with each other and make some newly transferred officers and soldiers familiar with the ship.

Cabot worked very well with his battleships, and every order of his was fully implemented and executed in place.

The cannon shoots quickly and accurately!

The sails are controlled accurately and smoothly, and the huge battleship seems to glide on the water as quickly as possible.

In fact, his appointment belonged to the "handbag to post". Because all the warships of the South China Fleet used a unified training program, the training content was unified, the command terms were the same, and the requirements were the same. Therefore, after the officers arrived at the new combat positions , And will soon be able to meet the requirements of this position.

In order to achieve this step, Yan Changwu spent a lot of effort and a lot of money for unified management, which also got good results.

The ships swooped toward the targets on the sea in a brave posture, and smashed them with artillery!

Then there is the fleet training, that is, lined up in an orderly battle line to attack.

There are many battleships, so it is divided into two battle lines to conduct confrontation exercises. It is for Team A and Team B. Admiral Yan Donglai and the lead team will conduct a simulated confrontation.

The ships are in order, and the battle lines are arranged to attack each other in accordance with the instructions.

The sound of artillery on the sea was full of joy.

The South China Army has developed a powder bomb, which is fired by the shell, which has no lethality on the battleship. It will only leave traces of powder on the battleship to calculate the effect of the bombardment. As a result, it grabs the upper hand on Cabot. The second team won by over 50% of the field goal percentage of General Yan Donglai's A team.

"We must fight for the upper hand!" In the review meeting after the exercise, the bosses reached a consensus.

The battle line is bombarded. The upper wind and the lower wind are in different categories. It is difficult for the upper wind ship to lay down the lower artillery door. This is especially the case for the three-deck warship, while the lower wind ship has a better firing position.

However, the shells fired from the leeward position are easy to lose, hitting the rigging of the enemy ship, giving people a ghostly shave, and the shells fired from the upwind position will hit the hull of the hull with fists to the flesh.

Therefore, it is a strategic goal to determine what position a ship should occupy in battle.

In the early days of the great voyage, the Spanish fleet was all fighting for the upper hand, showing that it was a confident fleet!

However, after the destruction of Spain’s invincible fleet and the independence of the low countries (referring to the Netherlands), the Spanish fleet became less and less confident. It is convenient for him to escape after being equipped.

On the contrary, the enterprising Britain and the Netherlands are fighting for the upper hand, and the South China Navy, which is under the guidance of the British, emphasizes "the enemy must fight" and "the upper hand"!

As for the fleets of Portugal, France, Italy, Malta, the Knights of Malta, Sweden and other countries that fight in soy sauce, they all like to fight against the wind. They can attack or retreat. They have the best of both worlds. They don’t know that they are determined to escape from the beginning. Win the battle...

Time passed quickly, and the Fatagusta fortress received a letter from the cruiser's flying pigeons, saying that the white skin fleet had already been dispatched and had left the supply port of Toulon, France, and was heading towards the island of Malta.

Now that the enemy is coming, the South China Fleet returns to the fortress to carry out supplies and repairs, and is ready to set off to fight the white skin.

In order to obtain the enemy’s situation in time, the South China Fleet sent a large number of clippers and cruise ships to monitor the surrounding waters. Naturally, they would not be foolish enough to hit the muzzle of a white-skinned battleship, but instead use barrel-type telescopes to observe the enemy’s situation from a distance. This is also what Baipi hates against infidels, because the Chinese made this kind of binoculars for cabbage, and small boats can be equipped, which means it has a super ability to find enemies, and Baipi is still using binoculars. Through the telescope, Baipi couldn't see the Chinese, and the Chinese had already fixed their eyes on them.

As for the delivery of information by the carrier pigeon, it depends on luck. If the carrier pigeon is not technically competent, or encounters a storm or an eagle, the letter will not be delivered.

The Fatagusta Fortress was able to accept the information sent by the carrier pigeons. This is a good sign. It should be the blessing of Mazu. Therefore, the South China fleet is full of optimism.

On the other hand, the White Fleet is also very optimistic, so the construction went smoothly, and it has been smooth. From sailing to the voyage, it was relatively smooth, and there was no storm. This allowed those veterans who had participated in naval battles with infidels before. They all shouted "God bless!"

They talked about the fact that two French battleships were beaten by wind and waves before the second Mediterranean Sea battle, so that the French commander, Rear Admiral Tran de Compos, said, "It is shameful! "

Nothing so unpleasant has happened now, and everyone went to the war happily.

In the same way, the officers and soldiers of the South China Fleet were full of high spirits of cutting white skins, and drove the battleship to the island of Malta. This island will soon be greeted by the **** storms blowing from the sea, which will be remembered for a long time by the world.

The white-skinned fleet passed through Sardinia, and then sailed southeast along Sicily, below the island of Malta.

In this battle, the Dutch fleet was the forward, followed by the Portuguese and Spanish fleets, then the white-skinned armies, and finally the British fleet.

The setting sun on the sea, the golden clouds are all over the sea.

On the flagship of the Dutch fleet, "Seven Provinces", Admiral Druitter is using his binoculars to observe Sicily on the distant coastline.

The vegetation on the island is lush, reflecting a golden light, and the scenery is beautiful, but there are no signs of humans.

This is the South China Navy (pirates?) raging, removing all the Sicilians along the coast!

Different from the optimism of other white skins, Druidel put down his binoculars and sighed slightly!

Druidel's full name is Michel Adriansson de Ruiter. He is the leader of the Dutch fleet. The Netherlands is a small country, but the Dutch fleet is not weak at all. It is similar to the traditional maritime powers of Spain, Portugal and emerging countries. The British overlord of the seas resisted.

Druidel is the commander of the Dutch fleet. He is proficient in naval warfare and has a deep understanding of the world situation due to the relationship between great navigation. He is a sensible man who sees the East with his eyes open. He knows the strength of the Chinese very well!

Although he did not go to the East, many Dutch came to the East, and many Dutch people also joined the South China nationality. From his contacts with those Dutch people, Druitter learned that the two Chinas are everywhere gold. The place of choice for honey and milk, where ordinary people eat meat, drink milk, wear silk, use porcelain, drink tea, and enjoy sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. This is the enjoyment of nobles in Europe!

Let me give you an example: "The South China Empire is located in the tropics. Although the merchants and pawns also wear silk, it is cool!"

Daming emphasizes inland development and maritime trade, while the South China Empire is the largest maritime power and the world's largest maritime trade.

They have a lot of wealth, weapons, people, and ships. They are much stronger than the Ottoman Empire!

If the Ottoman Empire is the whip of God, then the South China Empire is God!

Druidel is not afraid to fight the enemy, but he feels that the enemy he is about to attack is simply "Antai on the sea." How can you beat them out of the sea?

Antai is the son of the goddess of the earth Gaia and Poseidon in Greek mythology. He will never be defeated as long as he steps on the earth. The Hercules Hercules lifted him off the ground when fighting with Antai, thus defeating him.

"Will we be Hercules?" Druidel couldn't help but be at a loss.

The sound of guns coming from the sea in the distance made him suddenly startled. He raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the sound source.
