Chapter 701 (2/2)
I'm kidding. Not to mention the stone bear, his hard bones, bone spears and even the rabbit's mouth are all strong generals in wine. It's easy and pleasant to deal with two or three generals of the United Fleet by one person.
In fact, the reason for this phenomenon is very simple, that is, the British whisky production is very small at this time, and the quality is not very good.
In 1707, after the parliament of England and Scotland merged, England enacted the Scotch Whisky tax. The absurdity of the new regulations has led to chaos in the wine making industry. Many winemakers have moved their wine making workshops to the mountains and underground. By this time, there are only eight legal distilleries in Britain, while there are more than 400 illegal distilleries large and small.
However, because these illegal distilleries can not obtain a large number of brewing materials, they can only produce whisky by cutting corners. The reputation of Scotch whisky is not only deteriorating, but also the production is very small.
Except for those gifted guys, most people's drinking capacity is made from alcohol. Britain is short of alcohol, and the amount of alcohol these senior officials can imagine.
As for the yellow and yellow tribes, there are plenty of Baijiu in height. This group of guys has nothing to drink. After twenty years of drinking, you are an alcoholic allergy, and you can cure your disease and train your liquor.
In a word, although most of the high-level members of the United Fleet sleep until noon the next day, and they all cover their heads and hum when they get up, no one can deny that the dinner party specially held by the stone bear is really great.
The food here may not be as exquisite as that of the British court or even the aristocracy's family, but the taste is good, the quantity is sufficient, the big bowl drinks, the big mouthful eats the meat, such a forthright banquet, let this group of high-level people who are used to eating with masks open their eyes.
The banquet should be so bold and unconstrained!
Especially after knowing that the mission of this trip to North America was a complete failure, the high-level of the combined fleet immediately decided to make friends with the emerging Yanhuang tribe, and the dinner brought the Yanhuang tribe closer to the European powers.
After another night's rest, they arrived at a temporary base on the West Bank of the Hudson River in the early morning of the next day under the guidance of Yanhuang tribe's special personnel, where 12 modified Kirov class airships were moored.
Before the battle of Boston, the high-level of these combined fleets had seen the Kirov class airships flying in the sky. But at that time, the airships were flying at an altitude of more than 800 meters. Although the airships at that time looked very shocking, they were not as shocking as watching these people from a close distance.
A total of 12 airships were moored on the ground. When they got close to each other, the top management of the United Fleet realized that this kind of thing that could fly in the sky was really big. Considering the height of the cabin, the height of an airship was close to 18.9 meters, which would be as high as six stories for later generations.
Plus the length of more than 90 meters, it is equivalent to the volume of two four unit six story buildings put together
They had never seen anything so huge except the first class windsurfing battleships.
At this time, after two days of emergency modification, the original combat cabin of the airship has been replaced by a manned cabin. Because of the short flight distance, there is not much coal in the cabin. But now we need to make long-distance flight, so we need to load more coal for the small steam engine to run for a long time.
So the modified cabin can only take 20 people
