C3595 Four Great Singapore s (1/2)

The Singapore was a transport hub that connected the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia. Trade between Asia and Europe had to pass through here, and the thing the British loved to do the most was to take over this kind of transportation and use it to control the ocean's routes.

Whoever could control the trade routes would be holding the arteries of the world economy in check, and the British Empire's confidence came from their control of the oceans.

1871 was destined to be the most important year in Singapore's diplomatic history, because this year, not only did they welcome the returning Emperor Tongzhi, they also welcomed the triumphant Chinese Expeditionary forces and the leader himself.

In the face of the return of the Zhiyuan Warship's allied fleet, Britain brought out their full strength. Even a portion of the warships in Asia and the Indian Ocean were taken away.

Malacca Strait was suddenly filled with killing intent! This was not because the British wanted to start a war with the Chinese, but because the British needed to live in the Malacca to realize the strength of their navy.

”The Englishman is indeed intelligent, they know that once our victorious fleet passes by, it will definitely move the hearts of all the Chinese and natives!”

”Powerful military might is always scary, and this fear will gradually evolve into something else in one's mind... The British are afraid of the local forces! ”

”That's why they have to demonstrate their naval strength while we show our strength!”

On the bridge of the Zhiyuan Warship, Xiang Ying was using his telescope to look at the British warships that were following them.

The main channel had already been occupied by the Chinese and British fleets, so all the other merchant ships had to back off!

When the merchant ships of Southeast Asia, especially the Chinese ones, saw the mighty Zhiyuan Warship, they immediately cheered and roared. If not for the Führer's strict order not to slow down and stop, the merchant ships would definitely catch up to them and pay their respects to the Führer.

But just like that, a portion of the merchant ships dispatched their boats, bringing the Führer the most fresh food and the best cargo!

As for the European merchant ships, with the exception of France, Russia and Spain … All the merchant ships honked their horns in salute to the Führer.

Humans worship the victor from the bottom of their hearts, the strong always have their own privileges!

The British looked at the scene in front of them. Their stomachs were aching, but they couldn't do anything about it … In terms of the number of warships, the Chinese would definitely not be able to compete with the British, but in terms of battleship advancement, that Zhiyuan Warship could far surpass any of the main forces of the British Fleet.

They were completely epoch-making and had completely different styles. The power they displayed was also absolutely different!

The strong aura created by the technology gap was truly hard to make up for with quantity!

The Englishman whose imposing manner had been suppressed could only lower her noble head. Every day, he would fire a gun of respect at Xiao Letian!

Xiao Letian also enjoyed this kind of flattery. After eating every day, he would definitely run to the deck to wave at the British.

The British captain could not ignore the friendly gesture of the dignified Chinese leader! Doesn't that mean the British Empire is very rude? An English gentleman couldn't just drop the price, could she?

As a result, the three cannon shots every day became mandatory performances. The British Fleet s who had been on escort duty for the past three days had all taken down the quota for the three months.

If they knew what the grinning Xiao Letian was muttering about, they would definitely burst their stomachs open!

”Hello Comrades … Comrades has worked hard … One shot! Another shot! ”Two or three more cannons …”

”Anyway, it will cost you the navy's military expenses. It would be a little less if you guys …” Comrades has worked hard … ”

Xiang Ying had followed Xiao Letian for many years and was already completely used to Master's playful actions, so he was completely immune to all of this. On the road back home, Xiang Ying had trained with the officers and soldiers of the Navy, training them in the use of all kinds of equipment, including tactical deductions.

Boom! Boom! Boom! White smoke from the cannon drifted out into the sea, and the frightened seagulls flew back.
