Boom! Boom! Boom! The guests from the east expressed their gratitude to the British master with their cannon, while the Victory from the west also used their cannon to welcome the envoys from the east.
With the crashing of the sea, the heavy anchor was lifted up slowly. The boiler filled with steam pressure pushed the crankshaft to spin, and the legendary Eastern Battleship officially set sail.
The sounds of the ceremonies ignited the enthusiasm of the British citizens on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. At that moment, thunderous thunderous roars broke out at the scene.
”Long live the Queen! Long live the Great Qing Emperor! ”Long live the leader …”
The two banks were filled with hat-waving arms, applause and cheers. Everyone was proud to be able to witness this epoch-making visit in the history of human civilization.
Not only the people on both sides of the river, but the endless streams of European boats on the Thames also started to whistle. The sailors on the deck were jumping and cheering nonstop.
Zai Chun smiled and waved his hand. His calmness made all the people in Britain submit, and the cheers became even louder.
”Your Grace, many thanks for your warmth. This has exceeded my expectations …” Zai Chun said softly without turning his head.

”Give me one, I want one too …” ”And us …”
The city had awoken early, and people had rushed out of their homes in their coats, taking from the newsboys the latest outlets and newspapers.

”Unbelievable, truly unbelievable …” ”Darling, make me some coffee, I want to have breakfast to see for myself!”
