Chapter 1941: Sinking
The French troops had long been prepared on the shore.
And the French general on the shore.
Upon learning that their supply line fleet had encountered an attack, he immediately mobilized the Battleships at the Saint Lawrence River port to go and provide support.
However, it would take at least two hours for the Battleships at the Saint Lawrence River port to reach the battlefield.
The sea was already filled with the smoke of gunpowder.
Although the French Frigates were wooden-hulled ships not equipped with Steam Engine power, they displayed a super-strong level of combat in this battle.
They fought to a draw with the British Destroyers.
However, looking at the damage, the British Destroyers had used Steam Engines and also used some steel as armor.
Although a few had sunk, the fleet as a whole could still continue to fight.
But the French Frigates here, because they were wooden-hulled ships, had too low a defensive capability.
As long as a Cannonball hit, it could cause irreversible damage.
Although they relied on the helmsmen's superb maneuvering skills to keep the losses of their wooden ships from being so severe, several had still sunk.
Other ships had also suffered damage of varying sizes, and some ships were already unable to continue fighting.
Seeing this scene, the French commander of the main fleet became increasingly anxious.
The distance they were from the Saint Lawrence River was not much anymore.
He could even see the faces of the French Soldier on the shore through his Telescope.
But at this tiny bit of distance, the French Soldier on the shore could not provide them with the slightest bit of assistance.
Yet looking at the increasingly close British Battleships, he was burning with anxiety.
If the supplies on the ships were to be sunk, it would affect their entire trade market in Canada for the French.
In this region of the East Sea coast, they would completely lose their fur trade with the Indian.
This kind of trade, which could bring in lucrative profits, now looked like it would be lost entirely.
He slammed his fist against the command cabin, looking at the Battleships that Britain had already developed, which were almost on par with the Supply Ship of Longyan.
A wave of envy and jealousy.
In the more than two hundred years that they, the French, had been competing for hegemony with Britain, they had never been left behind by such a large gap.
Reminiscing about the era of His Majesty Louis XIV, their French Empire was truly powerful!
But the French Empire of today was weak beyond endurance!
Especially now that the country was fighting wars everywhere, as the King of France, Louis
