1043 The Lonely Ocean Knight
Peru and Chile are all countries with no perfect industrial foundation. All their armored warships were purchased from Western shipyards. It is conceivable how the arms profiteering merchants could give them the best goods.
In fact, even if they are given the best warships, these poor countries cannot afford them. Moreover, the West now has the awareness of using the money from third countries to test their weapons and equipment for themselves.
At a low price, there is a deep trap. The average thickness of iron armor is only about three centimeters. At most, it can defend against heavy machine gun bullets and solid projectiles from the past. For the 210-caliber flowering bullet, this layer of iron is just a piece of paper.
The poor man has a short ambition and a long horse's hair, and the poor country has a weak country and a weak country can only rely on others' breath. The wooden shell warships eliminated by the Western powers themselves will be transformed. They will cover a layer of iron armor and sell them to these small countries as iron armor ships, and the price is not low.
What? Don't you want it? Haha, then it's easy. If you don't even look down on such good British and French goods, then be more determined and make your own.
Obviously not all that country can hold its ambitions, and in the face of reality, they can only bow their heads.
In the arms business, European powers have made real money and silver. Those wooden warships that will be replaced sooner or later have a place to go. What’s more important is that in the repeated arms transformations, their engineers have been trained and have more experience in the design and production of ironclad ships.
If one or two naval battles broke out in these small countries, it would be the happiest thing for Western military strategists. After the war, they would collect all the data on the battlefield for analysis and adjust their future naval strategies. This kind of using the lives of other countries to test their own weapons is really cost-effective.
The navies of Chile and Peru are the products of this strategic idea. To use a saying in the Sijiu City, this kind of warship is "silver gun wax-like head".

The explosion of the Vascalan immediately alarmed the entire sea. The troops on land did not know what was happening at the sea because they were too far away, but the Peruvian main fleet was stunned at this moment.
The thick smoke and firelight generated by the explosion swallowed the Vaskaran one-third, and the screams resounded through the sky. The sailors covered in fire fell down, and the inside of the warship was suddenly filled with smoke.
The warship was destroyed, and the commander was stabbed to death by broken glass. The continuous flames could not be saved at all. It was only a matter of time before the entire warship was burned.
"Right full rudder... don't worry about range, fire for me!" Captain Sun's voice trembled, and he couldn't understand what kind of warship it was.
"Haha... Thank you for providing me with so many mobile target ships! Well, brothers, our feast has begun. The villagers of Iquik are waiting for our support! Send fireworks signals to the land and let friendly forces counterattack immediately!"
"It can be considered as escaping from the Atlantic Ocean's strangle net! This is the Pacific Ocean, and this will eventually be the inland sea of our Chinese! There is no need to disguise now, this is not the territory of the British..."
"We have the final say in this sea from now on!"
