The basic structure of a floating turret consists of two parts: the first is the platform, which is usually a pontoon or hull that can withstand heavy artillery and crew; the second is the artillery, which is usually a large-caliber cannon or howitzer.

This kind of turret can be towed by a tugboat or driven by an independent power system.

The British artillery often used this kind of fort very close to the coastline, shooting outside the effective range of the Russian artillery. The Russian artillery could only stare at these floating forts of the British army.

Even if sometimes the British army entered the range of the Russian artillery in order to hit the Russian defenses more accurately, these forts would often only fire a few shots before moving."

"These are valuable reference materials." Liang Yao asked while listening to Elvis' story and looking through the inspection report.

"If one day the British army uses this kind of fort to attack our Kinmen fort, do you have a way to crack it?"

The Kinmen Fort is a fortification consisting of forts on the north and south sides of the Kinmen Strait. This strait with a width of only 1.6-3 kilometers from north to south is the last key to the Pacific Ocean leading to Jinshan Bay.

If a war breaks out with maritime powers in the future, the Golden Gate Fort will be San Francisco's last line of insurance.

Once an enemy ship breaks through the Kinmen Strait, the entire Jinshan Bay coastal area will be under fire from the enemy ship.

"Fighting the British army? I haven't thought about this issue. I always feel that fighting the British army is a bit too far away." Elvis was stunned.

"You have to think like this. The more you think the war is far away, the closer it will be to you." Liang Yao criticized, "Don't talk about the far side, just talk about the near side. The British are now relying on our Bellingham."

Come on, this matter still gives me a headache."

Elvis pulled the beard on his chin and meditated: "Our fort is fixed, and the enemy's floating fort is mobile. If we use a fixed large fort to attack a small mobile fort, we will suffer a loss.

Perhaps we can follow what the British did in Crimea and lay mines to block the waterways. But the best way is to use small gunboats. Our Loach boats have Sacramento rapid-fire cannons, and we can take advantage of the rapid fire rate of the Sacramento cannons to kill these floating forts.
