Chapter 553

    "Report to captain!!!"


    "18 kilometers away, a large ship is found in the northeast east!"


    "Comparison of markers, MI Zi flag, three-layer gun, bow image of Trident Poseidon, confirmed as the first-class battleship HMS nipton belonging to the North American fleet of the Royal British Navy!"


    "The target is stationary, with a relative speed of 4.5 knots. It is expected to contact in two hours!"


    A thunderbolt exploded.


    On June 15, 1786, after half a month of slow navigation, valkiri entered the target sea area at sunrise, and found the trace of Neptune one and a half hours later.


    In the brilliant sunshine, the huge warship drifted quietly on the golden and blue sea, gathered its claws and teeth, and wantonly displayed her strength and beauty in front of the world.


    "110 gate level..."


    Lorraine lay on the observation platform in the middle of the main mast, brewing vinegar. As soon as he looked down, he saw that Washington and Navy generals were climbing the mast in an indescribable clumsy posture.


    Hamilton is the fastest among the people. He has climbed the third observation platform, which is 30 meters high.


    Lorraine suddenly caught a hint of mysterious inspiration, so she leaned out and shouted, "Mr. President, don''t bow your head! Please firmly tell yourself that this pole will not fall down, otherwise..."


    Before he finished, a soft wind suddenly blew on the sea, and varkiri shook. The shaking amplitude increased with the rise of the height, and it became a violent swing in the middle of the mast.


    With a swing span of one to two meters, the landlubbers scratched on the ladder of the mast and screamed. Lieutenant general linggs, deputy chief of staff, fell out. After a short free fall, they successfully turned into human flesh wind chimes on the mast.


    "Unexpectedly, the Navy fell..."


    Lorraine rolled his eyes sadly and moved two steps out of the middle of the observatory.


    "Remove the fishing sail, lower the longitudinal sail, maintain the course and sail stably!"


    "Captain''s order, catch the sail, lower the sail, keep the course unchanged and sail stably!"


    "Lower the sail! Lock the rudder!"


    The wind chime finally stopped shaking.


    Lorraine''s order is equivalent to letting valkiri give up most of the side cutting wind, only the disturbance of the hull and waves. While the speed of the ship drops sharply, the shaking is almost reduced by 70%.


    The land ducks climbed up one by one, and each time they came up, edley handed them a single telescope.


    Washington panted and walked up to Lorraine: "Mr. President, when I was teased, I suddenly remembered that you were still a 26 year old young man."


    "So you just remember?" Lorraine raised his hand and pointed to a small black spot in the sky. "I remember when the kind reminder was regarded as a prank. It was your admiral who fell just now."


    Washington raised his glass and looked in the direction of Lorraine''s finger.


    "The United States of America is a new country that has only been established for 10 years. Before joining the army, lieutenant general Lingus was the owner of a slave ship fleet. He was good at scheduling and proficient in finance. The most well-known talent is to know how to make his six slave ships always energetic and orderly."


    "He is undoubtedly a competent naval staff officer, but as he is the second generation successor of the fleet, he has not spent much time on the ship and should not be competent for the work of crew."


    Lorraine rolled his eyes. "Your requirements for competence are really low."


    "Perhaps this is the consciousness of a small country?"


    Washington finally found the Neptune. The invincible ship, which was filled with frames, rushed to his face, crossed the 18 kilometer sea and easily knocked the telescope out of his hand.


    The beech mirror fell to the ground with a click. Washington maintained a long-range position and asked softly, "that giant beast... Is the Neptune?"


    "HMS nipton, a British full loaded ocean going Galen class I battleship, was built in 1757 and commissioned in 1762. It is one of the seven existing class I battleships of the Royal Navy."


    Lorraine recalled the memory of the Neptune with a slow speed.


    "The ship has a total length of 71.2 meters, a width of 17.1 meters, a main mast height of 63 meters, fully equipped with transverse sails, stern longitudinal sails, bow triangular sails and inter triangular catch sails. The full sail area is more than 5500 square meters, 8 knots downwind speed, 8.5 meters draft and 880 sailors."


    "In terms of ship loading, there are 110 full loaded guns, including three layers of main guns, 30 32 pounds long-range guns in the lower layer, 32 24 pounds long-range guns in the middle layer and 32 12 pounds long-range guns in the upper layer. There are two layers of bow guns, two 68 pounds mortar guns and two 12 pounds medium-range guns. There are three layers of stern guns, four 12 pounds short-range guns in each layer, a total of 12 guns."


    "You just called her monster, which is very accurate and inaccurate, because there are less than ten warships in the world who are really qualified to compete with her, six of which are her sisters."


    "Her strength is enough to be called the king. More accurately, she is the king of the sea."


    "You seem to know this monster very well..." Washington responded in a wooden tone. "Ah... By the way, I almost forgot that you were the Drake child and a top student at primordial sea school."


    "The president investigated me."


    "You know that''s what it should mean. Besides, if the investigation was not detailed enough, how dare I make general Drake''s brother my captain?"


    "I thought friendship was the main reason why you chose me." Lorraine smiled.


    "Friendship is emotional, not enough to convince those friends who worry about me." Washington leaned down, picked up the looking glass and held it in the palm of his hand. "Mr. President, you just said that there are less than ten ships in the world comparable to that giant beast. Is there a treasure of Spain in it?"


    "Holy Trinity..." Lorraine shriveled his mouth indescribably. "That''s a precious princess who can''t live without a nanny, but she has four gun compartments after all. If it''s calm, nipton may lose to her in the duel."


    "What about your female martial god?"


    "Valkyrie..." Lorraine pondered for a moment. "In the side battle, Valkyrie''s crew is less than half that of nipton, and Britain has the best Marine Corps in the world."


    "In the short war, 68 pounds is an invincible weapon, and both sides still have a side height of more than 4 meters, which means that I have no way to throw shrapnel and chain bullets on the deck of nipton, and even at zero angle, the 12 pound gun on the upper layer of nipton can wash my armor plate from above."


    "Medium distance... Long distance... 54 doors to 110 doors..."


    Lorraine spread his hand: "that''s it. No matter how blessed I get, I have no chance of winning."


    "So why did America choose your warship?"


    "Because we have a speed difference of more than 6 knots, no matter what blessing we get, she won''t find a chance to fire at valkiri."


    "Won''t catch up?"


    "Those who can catch up can''t win."


    At the end of the incisive code, Washington regained its pride: "I will ask the Navy Department to carefully consider the procurement plan. Now only God bless general Drake''s reason."


    "Shaq''s advantage is knowledge, which I especially hate most of the time."


    "Really?"


    "It''s true." Lorraine played with the mirror in her hand. "Mr. President, do you want to hang your star spangled flag?"


    "I''d be honored if I could."
