1231 Brilliant
The training site of the Naval Academy this time is in the narrow waters outside Changle County under Fuzhou, east of Ci'ao Island and west of Dongsha Island. This is a near-shore area close to the coastline of the Qing Dynasty. People can clearly see everything on the coastline, as well as large and small islands scattered along the coast.
The Qing Dynasty's maritime ban policy has been loosened in this year, and the iron rule that a sail cannot go into the sea has long been in name only. In coastal areas, as long as ordinary fishermen drive small boats to fish in the offshore, the general government will not care about you.
As long as you don’t build three-masted sailboats privately or ocean-going ships, the court is too lazy to care about you to ask for food from the sea.
Because of this, Deng Shichang and his friends can see many fishermen's boats appearing in this offshore every time they go out to sea for training, fighting waves and typhoons for life.
But today, what appeared in front of everyone was not the scene of fishermen fishing as harmoniously and peacefully as usual. In the south of people, that is, in the direction of Pingtan, people could vaguely see a large number of black dots driving rapidly towards the north along the horizon.
French instructors and these young future captains could confirm that it was a huge fleet, a large fleet that was rare on the coast of the Qing Dynasty.
French instructor Riyige was the first to react, "Manfan! Follow my orders, Manfan is ready to evade... confirm the identity of the ship coming! God, that must be a warship, it must be a warship!"
Countless students subconsciously began to run to their posts, driving sails, untied cables, and fixing deck debris. The helmsman began to control the sailboat toward the entrance of the Minjiang River.
Deng Shichang and Liu Buchan shouted the horn and were pulling the sailing cables, "One, two, one, two, one, one, two, one, one, three, damn it, that must be a Russian warship. At this critical moment, it cannot be a warship from other countries. Brother Shichang, why are you stunned? Wake up!"
Liu Buchan's words woke Deng Shichang up, and the young students' eyes were full of fire. "Yes, it must be Russia's main fleet... The number of fleets on the opposite side is definitely more than twenty. Ordinary merchant ships will never form such a large formation to head together."
"British people? That's even more impossible. This is the coast of the Qing Dynasty. If the real fleet wants to drive smoothly, it should go to the middle of the Taiwan Strait. No one is full and runs here to play around the island!"
"So there is only one answer, this is the Russian Expeditionary Force, this is the demonstration against our Qing Dynasty!"
Deng Shichang's analysis was not wrong at all. People watched helplessly as the warships galloping towards Pingtan in the south became larger and larger. When the Russian double-headed eagle flag appeared in the telescope of the lookout hand, a roar of horror resounded across the sea.
"It's the Russian flag! What's so fucking that fleet is the executioner who killed the Chinese clan in Bai Layi!"
"My mother..." A group of friends had their angry eyes shattered, their fists hit the mast and railings, and blood flowed down their knuckles.
Too arrogant, these Rakshasa ghosts are too arrogant. Even if they bully the Qing Dynasty, they have no navy, but as a basic diplomatic etiquette, they must have! Is the British navy strong? However, Hong Kong warships patrol in Shanghai, and they did not stick to the coastline of the Qing Dynasty. They were just like a county and a township.
Even British warships are driving on the main channel in the middle of the strait in a regular manner!
What is this not a demonstration? These Rakshasa ghosts knocked over countless fishermen's boats, scaring the sea of wolves running away with rats, with only one purpose, to convey the terrifying information to the entire Qing Dynasty. They are declaring to the entire China that our Russian navy is here, and you China is not good.
Deng Shichang's nails were trapped in wood, and blood was seeping out through the gaps in his nails. He didn't know the pain at all. "Give me a warship, I beg you to give me a warship. As long as I rush up to fight, I would rather give my life to you!"
"Shame! Shame..."
Riyige felt the sad and angry atmosphere on the ship. The Frenchman had no good feelings for Russia. Originally, France and Russia had a hundred years of hatred. Today, he also spat into the sea and cursed a few words in French slang from some unknown place.
But what is the use of people's anger? If the country is weak, it will be weak. A small triangular sailboat for training has only a six-pound small-caliber training smoothbore gun. Does such a small ant want to fight against the huge Tsarist Russian expeditionary force?
The double-headed eagle flag was roaring in the sea breeze. Stefansky, the commander of the Expeditionary Force, was standing on the bridge with great enthusiasm and blew the sea breeze. His eyes were looking at the coastline of the Qing Dynasty, and he kept playing with a golden coin in his hand.
This is a gold coin, found in the bank vault of Bailayi Lotte. No one expected that in the distant East, a gold coin from the ancient Roman period could be found. This is a good treasure worth collecting.
When Stefansky saw Caesar's side avatar smiling at him in the pile of gold coins, he had a sense of intuition that he felt that his good luck had finally come.
Of course, this is good luck. Who can find the ancient Roman gold coins from more than two thousand years ago in the East? What is this if this is not luck? Not to mention Bai Layi's unexpected gain. Every time he sees the gold in the wooden box, he feels extremely comfortable.
"Your Majesty gave me the task of defeating the Far East Volunteer Army and defeating Xiao Letian. Who would have thought that there would be so many unexpected gains while completing the main task? This is really a magical land, my lucky place!"
Stefansky fantasized that he was welcomed by the people in Moscow after he exceeded his mission. His Majesty the Tsar personally awarded merits. He could be named a marquis with such merit. He was so excited, so excited...
Just as he was fantasizing, the ghost-faced man Moliè quietly walked to him, looked at the continuous Chinese coastline and sighed quietly, "What a rich land this is, why did it give to those weak Chinese people?"
"Oh... Are you a ghost? Why don't you walk without sound?" Stefansky said with a frown.
"Is there no sound? Haha, I'm afraid you're absent-minded..." Molière handed the commander a cigarette and sneered, "Don't play with that gold coin, this little gold is not worth being excited about. When we explode Xiao Letian's Zangjin Island, then you can see gold like a mountain!"
Stefansky took a deep breath of cigarette, and he glanced at Molière and said lightly, "What are your plans after this war? If you can't make it in France, come to our Russia. The great Tsar is one of the rare wise monarchs, and he will reward you for your contribution..."
