The First Collision of the New-style Navy No. 417

The sun rose as usual every day, and the first to welcome the light was the naval fleet of the Great Tang Group lying across the sea.

At this time, the Great Tang Group and the rapidly approaching navy of the Shen Country almost simultaneously discovered the billowing smoke lying across the sea.

Indeed, when both sides had steamships participating in the battle, it was quite easy to discover the enemy's fleet from a great distance.

The next second, the fleet of the Great Tang Group discovered that they seemed to be caught in the middle—their south and north were simultaneously approached by an imposing fleet that clearly harbored ill intentions.

Bernard put down his telescope and made a tactical deployment, ordering all the slower Brunas-class ironclads within his fleet to stay behind and protect the transport and landing troops, while the faster Wolf-class cruisers were grouped separately and charged toward the Shen Country fleet in the direction of Fengshun City to the south.
