Chapter 755: Preliminary victory

Although China Shipbuilders sell modern ships to merchants in the world, the countries in the world simply cannot afford or use ocean-going ships such as containers.

Modern ocean-going vessels are first of all too large in size. The ports of ordinary countries in the horizontal world simply cannot accommodate these large vessels.

The second is the cost of a single ship, which is not acceptable to ordinary merchants in the world.

Even if they want to buy, they can only form a huge group, and use the financial resources of the group to buy together.

Furthermore, even if such a ship is bought, a level world sailor who has no knowledge of modern ship handling cannot operate such a ship.

In the end, it is necessary to hire a large number of Chinese sailors at a high price, which is very uneconomical for profit-seeking businessmen.

Therefore, it is aimed at the businessmen of the flat world, who are rich, but compared to the situation where the Chinese businessmen are not rich.

Those shipyards that built vintage sailing ships also took second place and pushed out paddle steamers or propeller-powered Victorian ships.

These vessels are larger than ordinary sailing ships, but far smaller than modern ocean-going vessels.

A propeller-powered steam engine ship, the merchants of the flat world pooled some money, bought it, and hired some sailors. After a simple training, you can almost get started.

They can afford such a large ship.

The next thing is the much smaller paddle steamer, which is smaller and cheaper than the propeller steamer.

But ships that are a lap larger than sailboats and have more power are popular with merchants in the world.

The merchants in the Varyag Republic basically bought steam engines like paddle steamers.

Of course, more merchants are wooden sail cargo ships built directly from the "modern" assembly line ordered by China Shipyard.

Although the Varyag Republic is independent, the president, high-level officials, and members of the Varyag Guard all know it.

As an island nation, they will definitely face encirclement and suppression from the navy of the Camber Commercial Republic.

Therefore, President Varyag directly made two demands for the navy.

One is to select some sailors who can join the Varanga Republic from the prison where the Campbell Army is held to join the Varanga navy.

And with the sailors of the Varanga Guard, they formed the current navy of Varanga.

And take out the detained Camber warships in the port to use against the naval fleet that is coming to Camber.

The second is the paddle steamers purchased by the Varyag merchants to transport goods, all equipped with artillery, and iron plates, and urgently converted into warships for use.

The Varyag Navy hastily completed the militarization of civilian ships and the reorganization of the Camber Uprising Navy.

The Camber Fleet, which was the first to obtain information in the Eastern Nikiforus Sea, sailed towards the Varanga Republic.

The gunfire in Bolgar broke out too suddenly, and the Governor's House in Camber did not expect the residents of Vasilievsky Island to declare independence.

What made the Government House unexpected is that there are many local Camber businessmen and dignitaries involved.

A huge Camber Naval formation consisting of 21 wooden sailing warships came from the nearby waters and was ordered by Camber Naval. After assembly, they headed for Vasilievsky Island, preparing to reinforce the island’s resistance. Camber defenders.

This is the advance team, originally a battleship that was flying a pirate flag to rob merchant ships nearby.

The true elite of the Camber Navy is the steam-powered ironclad ship purchased in the last two years.

It's just that they are basically active in the Maryland Sea and the Apennines, so it will take a while to get to Vasilievsky Island.

As the Camber fleet entered the eastern waters of Vasily, the watchman on the mast shouted: "12 Camber warships were found ahead!

The sailors on the deck were playing semaphores for us. They were warships that had escaped from the vicinity of Vasilievsky Island, hoping to join our formation to suppress the great rebellion on Vasilievsky Island. "

The commander of the fleet squinted his eyes, raised the telescope hanging from his neck and looked into the distance. There are indeed 12 wooden sailing warships, and they are indeed of the Camber Navy standard. It was a battleship under the banner of the Camber Navy.

However, the opposing semaphore did not confuse him, the fleet commander. The news from the Camber garrison on the island was that the entire island was sealed, and all Camber warships had been detained, no one was an exception.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for the fleet in front of them, and that is the rebels of Vasilievsky Island, under the banner of Camber, preparing to mix into the formation and then attack themselves.

The fleet commander snorted coldly and said: "Tell them to agree to join the formation and jointly suppress the rebellion on Vasilievsky Island."

"Yes!"

The standard-bearer sent a semaphore towards the "Cambell" fleet, and the commander of the Camber fleet arranged for the deputy next to him: "Send all the personnel, prepare for battle.

Let's do everything we can, put the opponent over, take advantage of it, and sink them. "

"understand!"

The Varyag Navy really thought the other party believed it, and greeted the new navy officers and soldiers happily, and sailed towards the Camber fleet.

Once added to the formation of the Camber Fleet, the Varyag Navy can take advantage of its precautions and annihilate this fleet.

I have to say that the commander of the Varyag fleet was bold enough to let the Varyag fleet head toward the Camber fleet with such carelessness.

However, the commander of the Camber fleet naturally saw the tricks of the commander of the Varyag fleet, when the Varyag fleet was about to enter the range of the Camber fleet.

I saw the Camber fleet immediately launched the battle line, and a series of guns were aimed at the Varangal fleet.

The Varyag naval commander yelled badly: "It's done, I was seen through by the Camberians! Turn the rudder! Avoid shelling!"

However, the Varyag fleet was too late to turn the rudder. On the battle line of the Camber battleship, there was a roar of "rumble", and the artillery shells flew directly towards the Varyag fleet.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

Fortunately, the hit rate was not particularly high, and a lot of water jets were stirred up next to the Varyag battleship.

Of course, there were also warships that were shot, and the whole ship's gunk made a hole in it with a bang.

One scheming counts, the Camber fleet directly damaged 4 Varangal warships, 2 of which lost power and floated in place.

However, when the Camber Navy thought it was going to win the first naval battle with the rebels, the watchman on the mast shouted: "No, there is an unknown steamship in the east!"

The commander of the Camber navy was taken aback: "Is it the rebel of Vasily Island?"

Varyag intends to fool the Camber Fleet Commander to play a combination of inside and outside, but he did not expect the strategy to be seen through.

Fortunately, those steamships that were converted from civilian ships appeared in time, and they came around in a big roundabout at the sea, rounded to the rear of the Camber fleet, and began to attack the Camber Navy.

The Camber Navy had to face 10 Varyag wooden sailing warships in front, and beware of Varyag's steam warships in the back.

Want to turn the ship's bow, seize the upper hand, and deal with Varyag's steam fleet.

But the Varang sailing fleet in front of him used artillery to drag them, making them afraid to let go of their hands and turn around.

Varyag's steam fleet soon came over, and directly seized the T-head, and it was a violent blow at Camber's fleet.

Camber's fleet had to fight back against Varanga's fleet in a state of inferior formation.

However, their counterattack was also unsatisfactory. After the modification of Varyag's steam engine ship, steel plates were urgently installed as armor. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an iron-clad ship.

The naval guns of the Camber Sailing Fleet were not modern artillery shells, they were solid shells, which could hardly pose any threat to Varanga's armored ships.

After the Camber Fleet desperately sank a wooden sailing warship of Varyag, under the attack of the Varyag fleet, 7 warships were sunk and then declared surrender.

There is no way if you don't surrender, you can't escape those steamships.

Since then, the initial crisis of the reborn Varyag Republic has basically been resolved. The independence of the Varyag Republic has also prompted people in other overseas territories in Camber, which has a lot of interests with China, to have a lot of thoughts.

Of course, this also requires a catalyst, a catalyst that allows the Camber Fleet, which "dominates" the Central Sea, to be unable to intervene in their struggle for independence and freedom.
