Marvel's I am a saber-toothed tiger

Chapter 31

"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Victor. My name is William Smith, and I am the captain of the Federal Navy's "San Jacinto". I will cooperate with you and your subordinates in this operation."

Waiting for Victor at the Admiralty is actually a naval captain, and this captain is still very young, only about 30 years old.

"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel William, it seems that we will be together for a long time, and I hope we can get along well."

Victor's understanding of maritime affairs is limited to book knowledge, so it is definitely not wrong to show favor to those who will control their own destiny at sea to a certain extent in the future.

You know, a certain gang wolf was skewered into skewers and thrown into the river because of provoking Magneto, and was finally picked up by Stryker to pick up his head.If it falls into the sea, it may be fed to the fish.

Presumably, if he fell into the sea by himself, it would probably be quite troublesome.After all, it would probably take an unknown amount of time to swim back to the shore, let alone encounter sharks or something.

After going out to sea, everyone is really on the same boat, so there is no need to do those dirty things.

"Of course I will. I'm also very interested in the legends you created on the battlefield. I hope you can give me some advice."

Obviously, William was also very happy with Victor's overtures. After all, the name 'Saber-toothed Tiger' Victor was to the Northern Federation no less than 'Stonewall' Jackson was to the Southern Federation.

The legend of the super soldier who killed 'Stonewall' Jackson has been circulated between the Northern and Southern armies. As for the person involved, Victor is the only one alive. How did this legend spread? You can only ask the federal propaganda department. .

Fortunately, the information dissemination in this era is not as developed as in the later generations, so in the end there are only some specious legends circulating. After all, the 'X Squad' can be regarded as a secret department.

"Is that so? Then we will have a chance to have a good chat. After all, we will get along for a long time, right? Speaking of which, the name of our operation this time is 'Operation Fox Hunt'. After all, our enemy is like a fox." The same cunning Mrs. Rose."

Seeing Lieutenant Colonel William Smith, who was obviously very upbeat and had reached an agreement with him, Victor proposed again.

"No problem. I heard that in that distant eastern country, a fox also means a bewitching beauty. 'Operation Fox Hunt'! Wonderful! Hahahaha!"

It seems that this Captain William is also very knowledgeable and talented, but he is even more wonderful.It seems that the days on the boat should not be so boring.

Just when Victor and William started the business exchange mode, Mrs. Ross, who was far away on the other side of the Atlantic, finally set foot on her way home.

"Hi, ma'am. Nice to meet you! I'm Kane Jones. This time, I and my San Juan will escort you home."

I have to say that the Southern Alliance still attaches great importance to their heroines, and they actually sent their cutting-edge armored destroyer 'San Juan' to escort them.

"Then I will take care of you on this journey, Your Excellency Captain Kane. I believe that we will have an unforgettable time along the way."

Speaking of which, Mrs. Rose put her hand on Captain Kane's outstretched arm, and under the guidance of the other party boarded the 'San Juan', an ugly but very powerful battleship.

"Raise anchor! Turn on the steam engine! Turn the rudder and prepare to sail!"

In this way, with the order of Kane Jones, the "San Juan" carried the heroine of the Confederate Union, Mrs. Ross, and started her way back across the Atlantic.

At the same time, it was located in the forest at the junction of the northern part of the Federation and the Maple Leaf Country, which was still a colony of the Great Britain Empire at this time.

"Ow~"

With a howl of wolves resounding through the night sky, 'Wolverine' Logan Howlett led his pack of wolves across the border and came to the federal territory.

And in the forest far behind the wolves, a hunter who looked somewhat similar to Victor was holding a shotgun and was tracking the location of Logan and his wolves.

He is the half-brother of 'Wolverine' Logan Howlett: Doug Logan.He escaped because of Rose's death in the last conflict with Logan, but he did not give up, but continued to embark on the journey of chasing and killing his younger brother "Wolverine" Logan.

Logan suffered from grief and guilt because of the death of his first love Rose.He thought it was all his fault, so he didn't choose to conflict with Doug again.

Instead, he led the wolves all the way south, trying to get rid of the tracking from Doug Logan.Obviously, he didn't expect that even if he crossed the border, he still couldn't stop Doug's determination to hunt him down.

After a long train and carriage journey, Victor finally came to the port of the Northern Federation in North Carolina, where he finally saw the cutting-edge ironclad ship 'San Jacinto' of the Federal Army that he was about to ride on.

The iron-clad warships that have just been born in this era have neither the elegance of sailing warships nor the ferociousness of steel behemoths in the future.But these toddler sea "iron kings" are the embryonic form of the steel behemoths that will gallop the seven seas in the future.

Although there are still many shortcomings, it has an overwhelming advantage when facing outdated sailing warships.After all, one side basically doesn't break the defense, and the other side will sink after a few shots. This is no longer a level of battle.

Interestingly, the first to adopt ironclad ships was not the Northern Federation, which had better production capacity, but the Southern Alliance, which suffered from the federal naval blockade.

At this time, the world-famous Marine Corps was still only a subsidiary force of the Navy, and was divided into two halves due to the civil war.The southern half was wiped out in the first battle, and never rebuilt until the end of the Union.

That's right, during the first Battle of the Bull Run, the Brooklyn No.14 militia regiment led by Victor to charge was crushed to death during the charge.

At that time, Victor was also curious about how the navy came to participate in the land battle with a rifle, and the combat effectiveness was so scumbag, it was simply to give away the head.

Ahem, off topic, let's go back to the first ironclad ship of the Confederate Army. This ship was not even built by the Confederate Navy itself, but was refitted with the wreckage of the captured Union Navy cruiser 'Merrimack' .

Afterwards, this ironclad warship that was modified by magic slapped the poor Northern Federation Navy in a series of battles. The wooden sail warships of all levels of the Federation Navy were beaten helplessly in front of this iron-clad monster. .

As a result, the Federal Navy, which suffered heavy losses, immediately built and launched its own ironclad ship: the "Monitor".Then these two iron-clad ships with strange shapes (really weird, you can search for them if you are interested) fought at the Hampton anchorage in a famous duel (chicken pecking each other) that became a historical event in the history of naval warfare. good story.

Neither of them penetrated the other's armor, and in the end both sides ran out of shells. The epic battle ended in a draw, but strategically speaking, the Southern Navy lost because they failed to break the Union Navy blockade.

In the end, facing the naval blockade of the powerful Federal Navy, the Confederate Navy adopted the same combat method as the German Navy of the Three Reichs during World War II: breaking diplomatic relations at sea.

The 'San Juan' iron-clad ship Mrs. Ross was on was the product of this combat method. Its most unique feature was that it was a purely steam-powered iron-clad ship, which was the secret weapon of the Southern Navy.

The steam-powered 'heart' endows it with strong power, the latest breech-mounted cannon makes it unrivaled in firepower, and the armor made of steel makes it impeccable in defense.

In short, this ship may be ugly enough, but it is indeed one of the most powerful ocean-going warships on the oceans of this era. Its maiden voyage is to come to Europe to pick up the heroine of the South.

As for the 'San Jacinto' that Victor was riding on, it was a motor sailboat. Although it was equipped with steam power, it still had sails, and the hull was only based on a wooden hull. About 2m below the waterline, up to the height of the upper deck of the battleship, it is covered with a layer of wrought iron armor with a thickness of about 110-120mm.

Although theoretically still able to withstand the firing of all naval guns at that time, it is clear that the 'San Juan' is not included in all the naval forces.Victor and William didn't even know that it was such a monster to pick up Mrs. Rose. The information they got was that the Southern Navy sent a cutting-edge warship to pick up Mrs. L home.

So, at the beginning, the Federal Navy planned to send an ordinary sailing warship without armored mechas to intercept it, but considering the "Iron King Eight" that the Southern Navy made last time and their recent secret cooperation with the Yankees, maybe they will do it again. What happened.

In the end, out of careful consideration and at the strong request of President Lin Qiang, the Federal Navy agreed to send the 'San Jacinto', an ocean-going ironclad ship that was already very advanced at the time, to intercept it.After all, other pure ironclad ships are limited to power and tonnage issues, and can only fight in offshore waters.

In this way, without knowing anything about power, Victor and William used William's rich experience to successfully deduce the return route of the 'San Juan', and successfully blocked each other at sea.

"What the hell is that, a battleship made purely of steel?!"

But when they saw their target, they fell into a state of sluggishness like the rest of the 'San Jacinto' crew.

Of course, William was shocked because he saw such an ocean-going warship made of pure steel for the first time, and Victor was so ugly. The steel warships in his impression were all warships with beautiful lines in the future, not the long-standing warships in front of him. Bar-shaped big iron Tuo'.
