C1866 I almost got a gun out of the fire (2/2)

”Let's drag His Majesty back first. Don't let the British see any jokes. Bring him to a dark corner first!”

”Now listen to my command, move the main cannon …”

Facing such a pure steel behemoth like the Zhiyuan Warship, it would be a lie if he did not say that he was not afraid. Although the Royal Navy had the advantage in numbers, once a war broke out and they wanted to sink the Zhiyuan Warship, god knows how many of their troops would be lost.

Captain's face turned pale as he issued his orders. The two Governors waited anxiously on the deck, their faces ashen. The captain of the cannons in the cabin ordered the soldiers to prepare to fire, and to prepare to fire.

”Please don't start a war! I'm retiring soon, so don't start a war during my term of office! ”God save me …”

Just as the Governor Philip was praying for God's blessing, the thick and long 210-caliber big guy from the Zhiyuan Warship began to move.

”My God! The Chinese are going to war! ”Issuing flags...”

”Ask them what they want. What did Xiao Letian want to do? ”Why did you suddenly turn the main cannon …”

The power of the Zhiyuan Warship's main cannon had long been grasped by the British intelligence agency. This was the most advanced cannon technology in Krupp's arsenal. At such a close distance, no battleship could defend against it.

”Fight!” Royal Navy is preparing to fight... This bunch of Chinese people aren't here to visit! ”This is going to be a war …”

Just at that moment, the Zhiyuan Warship suddenly called out, ”Leader of the Hua Clan, Xiao Letian …” As well as His Majesty the Great Qing … Wishing Her Majesty the Queen health, the destiny of the British Empire … ”Cry out twenty-one cannon shots!”

Just as she finished her sentence, she heard a dull bang. The empty firearm exploded in the chamber of the main cannon, and white smoke spewed out from the cannon's muzzle like smoke.

Fei Li was so scared that she almost peed her pants, ”Let's not fire …” It was a misunderstanding … This is a Chinese salute! ”

Many of the battleships almost ran away, the recruits with cannons almost pulled the fuse, and it was the artillery captain and veteran that randomly threw him to the ground, thus avoiding a gunfight.

The cannonball and soldier who fell on the ground cursed out loud in anger, ”Damned Chinese! They were all crazy! How could he make such a joke! I'm going back to London for Christmas this year! ”F * ck …”

The Zhiyuan Warship's main cannon saluted to the British and British Queen, followed by Xiao Letian agreeing to the British conditions. Everything was done in accordance to the pre-agreed procedures, the requirement to get to the shore was abandoned.

The conflict that was almost over finally calmed down. Xiao Letian used the method of firing a gun to scare the Englishman, it was also a way to save face, if not he would directly give up Zai Chun's request, and the British would look down on him.

Just as Governor Philip was about to board the boat, Zai Chun pushed Zai Chun to the corner, and kicked him three times in the ass, ”If you don't want to see Governor of England later, I'll slap you hard on the face!” ”At this time, don't you know what the big picture is?”

”How can someone who has achieved great things become emotional? You can't even take a hundred thousand people kneeling? Then how do you rule a billion people in the future? ”You've disappointed me so much …”

Zai Chun cried, but a single tear from his eyes would be sucked away by the eunuch with a handkerchief, ”Your Majesty! The leader was right. We're at the edge of the outer seas, so we have to restrain ourselves a little … Your Majesty, don't cry anymore. The British will be boarding the ship soon! ”
