And from the beginning to the end, the monitors seemed not to have noticed the entire accident.
After receiving the news that the Dreadnought-class battleship was almost stranded and paralyzed on the St. Laurent River, Clancy had a sudden thought.
It is completely unbelievable that the weapon that Britain relies on most has been completely scrapped like this!
Clancy ordered on the spot: "Send troops to protect you immediately. Even if the Dreadnought-class battleship sinks into the river, the French cannot snatch it away!"
The St. Laurent River has long been filled with artillery fire, and their Dreadnought-class battleship is now stranded and unable to move.
The moment France learned that the Dreadnought-class battleship had run aground, France sent troops to try to drag the British battleship away.
The British fleet guarding the St. Laurent River fought against the French forces.
The remaining two sets of steam engines on the Dreadnought-class battleship were running, but there was no way to help such a huge Dreadnought-class battleship escape from the St. Laurent River.
On this supply line blocked by Britain, the French took advantage of this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the British troops. The battle lasted for more than three hours.
The combat power invested by both sides was not much, but the battle was extremely fierce.
The St. Laurent River was unable to move due to its huge hull. It was like a fixed target and withstood the most bombardment from the French army.
The entire steel hull was bombarded to tatters, but even under such circumstances, the Dreadnought-class battleship was not sunk by the French forces, and it still maintained an extremely high fighting attitude.
The ship's cannon was still firing.
This battle did not end until the Dreadnought-class battleship was towed by Britannia and taken out of the St. Laurent River.
But when the British tugboat left with the Dreadnought-class battleship, the ship was already in a state of near collapse, and the hull had been severely deformed.
After towing the Dreadnought-class battleship back to the repair port in Britain, Clancy quickly rushed over and looked anxiously at the battleship that had almost exhausted the entire British treasury to develop.
Now it's as tattered as a pile of scrap metal floating on the sea.
The damage was so severe that Clancy saw no possibility of repair.
His heart was filled with despair. Without this battleship, they would be at a disadvantage whether it was negotiating the Panama Canal or suppressing the supply line to France.
At this time, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and the raindrops shattered like cannonballs and landed on Clancy's body.
He no longer knew how to handle this matter with George III.
"Why did it hit the rocks..."
"Why did it hit the rocks..."
...
Qing Yangshuo summoned George again in Longyan City, poured a cup of tea with him, and said lightly: "You can go back, the matter has been resolved."
George was stunned. It had only been so long before the matter had been resolved.
Qing Yangshuo didn't say anything, but George had a guess in his mind.
Things will definitely end as Qing Yangshuo said, but he will definitely know what Qing Yangshuo did when he goes back, and he will be shocked by the result!
"Okay, sir, I'll take my leave."
George stood up and bowed to leave. Qing Yangshuo nodded slightly and said with a smile: "When you come next time, bring your wife and children with you. I think they will like our Longyan City."
George smiled and said: "Definitely."
After bidding farewell to Qing Yangshuo, George went back and prepared the carriage before heading home. He did not return to Fogelis first. This time he went to Longyan as an envoy, so he naturally had to report his duties to Clancy first.
When he arrived in New York State where Clancy is now.
When I saw the people in the room, there was a heavy atmosphere, and when I looked at the topic of the meeting, I felt a little nervous.
