Super Chief

Chapter 683: Surprise

"Oh Maiga! What kind of ship is this..."

  

   "Jesus Christ, how can these boats move without sails..."

  

   "Damn it, these boats don't look like they are made of wood. How do they float on the water?"

  

  ……

  

   When the eleven steel battleships of the Yanhuang Fleet appeared on the main channel of Boston, all the officers with telescopes in the combined fleet were dumbfounded.

  

Although it is not clear what materials the eleven warships were built from because they are so far away, when the eleven warships were placed in a straight line at a position about five or six kilometers away from Boston Harbor, they were made of steel. The hull of the ship exuded a dark cold light under the sunlight, and the muzzle that was slightly lifted up and aimed at the port in a neat manner made the officers of the joint fleet who saw this scene involuntarily hit the heart.

  

Compared with the number of more than one hundred warships on the joint fleet, the eleven strange warships are much smaller, and even a fraction of the number of joint fleet warships can’t keep up, even if they are separated by a distance of five or six kilometers. All those who saw these steel battleships felt the kind of murderous intent emanating from those steel battleships.

  

   The commander-in-chief of the combined fleet, Earl Abbasnot, was dumbfounded, and the chief negotiator, Earl Cirencester, was also dumbfounded.

  

   They don't know which side these strange warships belong to, but they can clearly feel the extraordinary features of these eleven warships.

  

   "General, where did these ships come from?" Count Cirencester, who was about to disembark, hurriedly walked to Abbasnot's side and asked in a low voice.

  

   Abbasnot shook his head, and said in an uncertain tone: "I am the same as you now, and the specific situation is not clear. But I can feel these ships seem to be hostile to us."

  

   Cirencester also nodded and said, "Yes, I also feel this way. General, I think you'd better keep your men from moving, because I always feel like Lintong is in trouble..."

  

   Abbasnot nodded cautiously, and immediately ordered the messenger to send semaphores to other ships to keep them from moving.

  

At this time, the people of the United Fleet discovered that a sailed inland river armed transport ship sailed out of the Charles River on the side of the port. A flag with a fierce bear's head hung on the ship, Abbasno. When I saw this flag through the telescope, a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face.

  

   Cirencester noticed the expression of his old friend, and quickly asked: "General, do you know this flag?"

  

   Abbasno characteristically said: "Old man, I do know this flag. Back then, when I led a fleet to go to Yorktown, I was stopped by an inland armed transport ship flying this flag."

  

   Cirencester asked with an unbelievable expression: "How is this possible? How could an inland armed transport ship stop your sailing battleship?"

  

Abbasnot spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "But it is true. Because when I led the fleet to Yorktown, I happened to catch up with the Cherokee tribe, oh no, they should be called the Yanhuang tribe now..." The admiral shrugged, "Just in time for them to conduct military exercises, so they blocked the Chesapeake Bay with these small boats, and my fleet was stopped outside the bay by these small boats."

  

Cirencester still had an expression of disbelief, so the admiral could only continue to explain: "Don't look at the small boats of the Yanhuang tribe, but their boats are equipped with a kind of firepower and extremely long-range artillery. Old buddy, do you remember the corpse-positioned vegetarian guys in the Ordnance Bureau wanted to engage in large-caliber grenadiers more than ten years ago?"

  

This incident had a great negative impact on the British military. King George III even called the boss of the Ordnance Bureau over and severely reprimanded him. Cirencester had just served as King George III’s adjutant at the time. Looking aside, of course he knew about it.

  

   So Cirencester nodded, and then suddenly asked: "You mean that Yanhuang tribe's ship is equipped with a large-caliber grenadier?"

  

"We have been verifying this matter, old man, my guess is similar to yours. The type of artillery carried on the Yanhuang tribe’s ship should be a large-caliber grenadier. It should also be a larger-caliber grenadier. A weapon with a more powerful cartridge. A few years ago, one of our armed merchant ships wanted to supply Jamestown and wanted to forcefully break through the blockade formed by these small boats, but one ship..."

  

   Abbasnot stretched out a finger, "There is only one, an inland river armed transport ship of this size. At a distance of three to four kilometers, the armed merchant ship was sunk directly..."

  

   "Oh Maiga! How is this possible?" Cirencester looked shocked, he obviously hadn't heard of it.

  

   Abbasnot smiled bitterly: "Old man, I didn't believe this at first, but this is an indisputable fact..."

  

   When the Earl of Cirencester looked at the inland river armed transport ship that was fast approaching, there was a hint of horror in his eyes.

  

The boat soon drove to the vicinity of the combined fleet. Under Abbasnot’s order, some peripheral warships made a passage for the small boat, and the small boat quickly came to the flagship of the combined fleet "Xiong" along the passage. In front of the "Roe".

  

   It is worth mentioning that when Henry Clinton replaced William Howe as the commander-in-chief of the British Army in North America, he came to New York to participate in the inauguration ceremony on this second-class sailing battleship named Xiongqi. Back then, this ship was the flagship of Abbasnot.

  

After    got closer~www.wuxiaspot.com~ everyone discovered that the boat was not equipped with weapons. Only more than 20 sailors were operating the boat, and there was another man in a strange military uniform standing at the bow of the boat.

  

   Obviously, this person should be an envoy sent by the Yanhuang tribe.

  

   Under the order of Abbasnot, the gondola was put down on the Xiongzhang. The messenger who seemed to be a little foolishly took the gondola and was transported to the deck of the Xiongzhang.

  

Although the 30-year-old Indian man looked a little ridiculous, and his mouth looked ugly, it should be a congenital bunny mouth, Cirencester and Abbasnot still greeted him and took it seriously. Made a self-introduction.

  

After listening to the self-introduction of the two earls, the Indian man put away the ruinous smile on his face, and introduced himself seriously: "Respected two earls, I am the Yanhuang Tribal Intelligence Bureau. The Chief, the Chief Chief, our son of God, sent me to negotiate with you. You can call me Rabbit Mouth."

  

Although the English of    rabbit mouth is not very fluent, and the pronunciation is a bit strange, but slowly speaking, the two earls can still understand it.
