Lyle and the Dynasty's Edge Chapter 23

The majestic credentials of the Qing Dynasty were torn to pieces on the spot, and the Forbidden City in Beijing was shaken!

But the reactions to the shock were very different. The court was full of discussions and empty talk; Lyle Li was in Tianjin asking for help from various countries; Dexter Ding stood up from his sickbed, and only he made the correct judgment: "The Japanese barbarians are unwilling to seek peace, and they obviously want to make another profit. 

Where should they start? The Beiyang Fleet is obviously a major target." So he immediately asked Lyle Li for a fight to the death. He put forward the following reason: although the Yellow Sea War was criticized by both the court and the public, it was actually a win or loss. 

He used numbers as a basis: China had 11 warships participating in the battle, with a total of 180 large and small cannons, and a slower speed than the Japanese ships; Japan had 12 warships participating in the battle, with a total of 272 large and small cannons, with a fast speed and flexible turning, but the hit rate of the guns was only 12%, far lower than the 20% hit rate of China's guns; both sides had warships that were sunk or damaged, but China had a hero named Deng Shichang who dared to hit the Japanese flagship, so what did Japan have? Whether in terms of technology or morale, the Beiyang Fleet could fight again. Finally, his oath: "Dexter Ding was the first and last admiral of the Beiyang Fleet. He was determined to fight a final battle to set the record straight."

Lyle Li was so angry that he slammed the message: "The mouth is under someone's nose, so whoever wants to scold him can do it. When it comes to scolding, don't I, Lyle Li, get scolded much more than you, Dexter Ding? Talking between the government and the public is commonplace, but no one who does practical things A few. How come you, Dexter Ding, are so distracted by the wind of conversation! Why do you want to make a last-ditch effort? "I gave the final order: "Hide in the harbor and save the battleship."
