Chapter Thirty-Three: The Perfect Encounter

As early as the Spring Festival of 1983, Zhang Long, who was impatient, asked Zhou Yu for an order to lead three warships from the Zhongyong Army Navy fleet to the Coco Island in Costa Rica to discover the treasures there.

Zhang Long didn't have a good time during the Spring Festival. His heart was like a cat scratching his head. He was worried when the treasure was not received one day. He already regarded the treasure as the personal property of Zhongyong Army. He was a little more nervous than Zhou Yu.

He stood on Lu Han's A2 battleship, with extreme excitement, about to see the gold.

He recalled that when the teacher first arrived at Liujiazhai, he and Liu Chengliang were the first to challenge Zhou Yu's authority.

At the beginning, Zhou Yu had nothing, and he and Liu Chengliang were suspicious of the same young teacher. However, now three full years have passed, and the two of them have changed from strong opponents to loyal supporters. What kind of transformation is that?

ah!

Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed for my ignorance at the time. With the teacher's ability in both civil and military skills, I don't know how to deal with it at the flick of my finger. Is there anything else to talk about?

Now, both he and Liu Chengliang are so shameless that they have forcibly worshiped Zhou Yu as their teacher. With the continuous contact with the teacher, they are increasingly discovering the teacher's vast wisdom and almost god-like perverted abilities.

, they all learned a lot of knowledge from the teacher, and the teacher also brought everyone a new way of thinking and realm.

He has also transformed from a penniless and unknown person to become the Grand Marshal of Hawaii. This is a first-class official of a country!

The most important thing is that I am no longer the same Zhang Long three years ago. Now I have fully matured. The teacher has taught me a lot of military knowledge. Even pony-tailed military officers like Ye Fu and Lu Han have learned a lot.

Even the wizards were amazed, let alone a military novice like myself!

What are you thinking about? Lu Han felt a little strange when he saw Zhang Long standing there in a daze. In his impression, Zhang Long had always been a chatterbox, and suddenly he became serious. He still had to pay attention.

I'm thinking about our principal.

Are you thinking about the principal? Are you mistaken? There is no point in thinking about it since you are a man!

Damn you! My head is full of mush and rubbish all day long! I was thinking about the changes our principal has brought to all of us. Isn’t that as nasty as you think?

Yes! If Ye Fu and I hadn't offended corrupt officials, we wouldn't know where we were now!

Zhang Long looked back at the track left by the high-speed sailing of the heavy cruiser, and said with some emotion: Yes! I am the same? We are all the same. When the Black Flag Army was in the hands of General Liu, it was attacked by French ghosts.

I'm so stressed that I can't breathe. Look at the situation of our troops now. It's completely different!

The principal said: This year the French will have a war with us. I believe that the French are so aggressive now that they look very powerful, but they are just paper tigers. The principal said that our real opponent is the United States.

I'm surprised. The United States currently has only tens of thousands of troops and only 24 warships, all of which are old and some are still wooden ships. Why does the principal think so? I really don't understand.

If you don’t understand, don’t even think about it. It’s only strange that you can understand it with your stupid head!

Tch! Are you smarter than me? If you have the ability, can you tell me the truth? If what you say makes sense, I will obey you!

Hey! I don’t understand it either, but I won’t think about it if I don’t understand it. I only know that if you follow the principal’s words, you are guaranteed to be right!

You need to tell me this, everyone knows it!

Hey! Seriously, the principal sent three warships this time. What are they doing in this stupid place?

I won’t tell you, it’s a military secret! Last time I was severely criticized by the teacher for doing this, and I don’t want to make the same mistake again!

Come on! If you don’t say pull me down, do you think I want to hear it? I am teasing you on purpose. I don’t know the discipline of the army?

In this way, the two of them chatted and chatted along the way, and each other seemed not to be too lonely.

When he arrived at Coco Island, Zhang Long took out the map Zhou Yu gave him and began to search. After several days of busy work, he finally found the three treasure caves on the map.

After all the treasures were transported to the ship, Zhang Long secretly opened a big box to buy cakes. Zhang Long's mouth was so surprised that he couldn't close his eyes, and his eyes instantly turned golden and bronze.

Darling! They were all gold coins. There was a whole box of gold coins. Zhang Long touched it again and again with his hands. After a long time, he reluctantly closed the lid of the box, hammered in iron nails, and tightened the seal again...

Next, on the way home, Lu Han kept hearing Zhang Long mumbling something.

Asked him how he did it, he was always nervous.

Zhang Long’s answer was absolutely correct: Yellow! All yellow!

When Lu Han looked at it, he couldn't ask the reason, so he thought Zhang Long was crazy and had no interest in asking. Lu Han secretly thought about whether he should find a wife for Zhang Long, otherwise why would he keep muttering about pornography?

Of!

General! There is a cruiser ahead, probably about three thousand tons, flying the American flag.

What to do? Do you want to avoid it? The sentry's report reminded Lu Han in Yaya that he was not too safe now!

Have they spotted us?

It seems to have been discovered and is heading towards us.

The order was given to inquire immediately, asking what they were doing? We are also flying the American flag, so don't be nervous, and everyone is ready for battle.

Oh my god! Commander Lu, is this an American warship? It might cause trouble for our principal! The observation sentry brought out his Hokkien dialect when he was anxious.

The sentry's reminder did not change Lu Han's final decision.

When the warships of the two parties approached about 8,000 meters, the other party also issued a semaphore: We are from the U.S. Pacific Squadron, what do you do?

We are a test ship of the American Morgan Company, and we went to South America for sea trials!

How can the Morgan Company have a warship? It is even less likely that it can go to the east coast? Who are you from? Stop the ship for inspection as soon as possible! Otherwise, our ship will fire at you.

Okay, let's stop the ship now. We are indeed from the Morgan Company. This is a test ship, not a warship, and the cannons on it are also fake.

Lu Han ordered two destroyers, a cargo ship and his own battleship A2 heavy cruiser to slow down slowly.

When the other party saw that they had slowed down, they were relieved. In the hearts of the American soldiers, they would never believe that anyone more than 200 nautical miles away from the US coastline would eat the courage of a bear and a leopard with their regular US Pacific.

If the squadron is making small moves, think about the powerful United States behind the fleet, unless this country doesn't want to do anything wrong.

Lu Han looked at the opponent's warships, and when he was sure that the other side only had one warship, he ordered the entire team to raise the flag to speed up, move forward at full speed, and form a triangle to surround them. They must destroy the opponent completely. His warships are still a secret until now.

, you can’t let others know that if they run into you, it will be bad luck for them!

How come the U.S. Pacific Squadron is on the east coast?

It turned out that they had four warships. The new president, Chester A. Arthur, attached great importance to the construction of the navy and ordered the establishment of the Pacific Squadron, which was mainly responsible for coastline patrols on the east coast of the United States.

Originally, they were all routine, and no Americans would think that anyone would be detrimental to American warships.

Kester is the captain of this warship. He is a veteran navy man in his 40s. He also has the experience of participating in the American Civil War. At first, he did not take the observation post's report seriously.

Although the other party said it was a test ship, that was a ridiculous statement that even a liar would not believe. It was clearly a warship. I thought it was a secret warship that my country had just developed!

However, now the opponent was actually accelerating to outflank him. This phenomenon made him feel frightened. The opponent had three warships larger than his own, and their weapons seemed to be more advanced than his own.

According to the situation, the opponent is an enemy rather than a warship of our own country. At this time, the distance between the two sides is less than five thousand meters.

Order: Zhuyuan fires at an angle of 15 degrees in the direction of five o'clock. Kester gave the decisive order. This is a good habit developed over a long period of time. Strike first.

But what is the result?

In order to get as close as possible to the enemy ship, Lu Han did not order the gunfire. If he fired the gun now, it would affect the speed of the battleship.

The general opened fire first. Lu Han looked at the several large water pillars that appeared in front of the battleship. He reacted quite quickly! It's a pity that he only has one talent. The warship is too small! A cannon with a caliber of more than 200 millimeters is not too big for him.

threats.

The opponent saw that he was the flagship, and actually let all the artillery fire be fired at him, which was a lot of courage.

Just as Lu Han was thinking about it, the battleship suddenly shook violently. Almost at the same time, he heard a banging sound in his ears. Two cannonballs were fired on the diagonal deck of the bow, and a fire immediately broke out on the deck.

Order the reserve team to extinguish the fire, all fire freely in the direction of 11 o'clock, from a distance of 4100 meters...

As soon as the order was issued, Lu Han felt his warship suddenly move sideways, and he knew that the bombardment had begun.

After several rounds of shelling, the US ship was swollen, and the bow of the ship was hit by two armor-piercing shells, causing serious injuries to the warship.

When Kester saw that the opponent's artillery fire was too powerful, he ordered the warship to turn around and return to the US military base on the east coast. But, was it still too late?

Kester's wrong judgment completely ruined his warship. With a distance of less than four thousand meters between the two sides, wasn't turning a corner not seeking death?

Lu Han did not miss this opportunity and ordered to launch torpedoes. The three ships had a total of 9 steam gas torpedoes in each position, and fiercely rushed towards the enemy ship at a high speed of 50 knots.

Kester was shocked and ordered to evade in a snake shape. Such a close distance was far from enough for the US ship, which was only about 13 knots.

While barely avoiding other torpedoes, the four torpedoes on the right side had already reached the restricted area.

Without waiting for him to issue another order, the warship's single-barreled 76mm rapid-fire cannon fired vigorously at the torpedoes. However, the warship still did not escape misfortune. The right side of the waterline was hit by two torpedoes that escaped the net.

The hull and officers and men of the US ship flew up like clouds and mist. When they fell into the sea, they had been cut into three pieces by two torpedoes weighing several hundred kilograms.

In less than two minutes, only the huge whirlpool formed by the sinking warship was rippling on the entire sea surface. The warship and the American soldiers had no time to escape and were dragged into the deep sea by the whirlpool.

Lu Han waited at the same spot for nearly half an hour. After repeatedly confirming that there were no personnel or loopholes, he ordered the ship to return.

When each ship counted the battle damage, only two gunners on the main ship suffered minor injuries, while the others were intact.

The hit slash deck had only two shallow craters, which shows the bulletproof capabilities of the slash design and new steel.

Next, it was a smooth journey back to the Pearl Harbor base. Lu Han and Zhang Long reported what happened along the way to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu only asked if there were any casualties. As for the rest, the response was mediocre.

Lu Han and others were very moved. The principal's first concern was the life and death of the officers and soldiers. What else could be expected of such a leader? Everyone had no other choice but to fight to the death in order to repay the principal for his mountain of kindness.

Along the way, everyone always noticed that Zhang Long's eyes were yellow and he was nagging. He looked like this even during the fierce naval battle he passed on the way.

Zhou Yu knew this well. He knew that Zhang Long must have peeked at the gold and was stunned by it.

After all the treasures were put into the warehouse, Zhou Yu's heart calmed down. These are the national gold reserves that Zhou Yu will use to found the country in the future! It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.
