C1865 naval reading (1/2)
In the hundreds of years of development in Royal Navy, naval sightseeing was the most important method to display the power of the Empire directly. Its strategic deterrence effect was not inferior to the nuclear test conducted by both the Soviet Union and the United States during the later generation of the Cold War.
In an era where strength was the norm, showing off the assets of various countries' warships was a very effective way to intimidate the enemy.
Generally, British naval tours take place at Plymouth, but the colonial governors have and hold small tours to intimidate the native states.
British naval admiral Na Erxun had a massive naval tour of the sea after he won the Franco-Western Alliance at Trafalgar.
The other time was when the European alliance defeated Napoleon in 1814 and officially signed the peace treaty in Paris.
This was because it was held two weeks before the war between Britain and Germany. At that time, all the battleships in Britain had been dispatched, and the Iron-armored battleship in the bay could not be seen at the end. Historically, it was said to be the one with the most killing intent.
”It's all a routine!” It will always be so. Before the conflict between nations, I will have to show off my muscles first. Englishman is also one of these experts! ” Xiao Letian muttered.
At that moment, the Zhiyuan Warship and the soldiers on the battleship had all retracted their previous contempt. With more than twenty Sail battleship gathered, the white sail was spread across the entire bay.
In Xiao Letian's mind, he suddenly remembered the time the second world war ended, the time when Japan signed the surrender letter on the Missouri, and the time when fighter jets flew over Tokyo Bay like dark clouds, their wings even blocking the light of the sun.
The influence of the unblemished fruit's great industrial power makes you feel it just by looking at pictures and movies.
”Power!” This is the power we have always sought! This was the ultimate manifestation of a country's comprehensive strength! All of the powers must ultimately be forged into that sharp sword! ”
”We Chinese must have this sharp sword!”
Just as Xiao Letian was making up his mind, the British ships in the sea suddenly sent over their flags, welcoming the two most powerful leaders from the east to the star slope.
All the battleship cannons fired. White smoke covered the whole bay, and the distant docks were filled with the sounds of tsunami. That day, 100,000 Chinese people came out at full strength, and 30,000 people were gathered at the dock.
The star slope itself was a huge island. To the south, they were looking across the river to Indonesia, which included many small islands. At that moment, all the islands near the main waterway were all full of Chinese people bowing and greeting.
One of them was the leader of the Chinese army who had saved the Nanyang Chinese. He was their final backer.
One was the spiritual leader of all Chinese, the already legendary Son of Heaven.
This was a grand occasion that hadn't happened in hundreds of years. This was a miracle that the Chinese hadn't even dared to dream about ever since they emigrated to the Southern Ocean!
At that moment, there was only one thought in everyone's heart, ”We are no longer orphans. Finally, someone remembers us, still loves us, and there is someone to control us!”
In the incense burner, the green smoke gathered into a ball. The elders dressed in luxurious clothing led their clan's children to bow down like the waves of the ocean, waves after waves of endless waves.
The sound of weeping, the sound of thousands of years of shouting, and thousands of words converging into one sentence.
”I beseech Your Majesty to come ashore! I implore the Führer to come ashore! ”
With relatives and children from the north, how could they not go ashore and drink the wine and eat the meat?
