【532】Li Hongzhang returns to Beijing(1/2)
Gaze with wide eyes!
Princess Ai Shili appeared as scheduled, and she changed a bright dresses designed for her tailoring for her. In addition to elegance, it was even more enchanting.
Being able to marry the princess of this Austro -Hungarian Empire, it really worked for thirty years!
Alas, I just don't know if I have this opportunity ... Well, as long as she stays in China and stays in Shanghai, I always have a chance!
Regardless of the blonde -shaped luxury characters under the bottom, on the table that was built temporarily in the pier, the rituals were unknown, the ribbon was flying, and the handover ceremony of the submarine had begun.
One of the two sides of the transfer is Princess Ai Shili, while the other is the representative of the Kunpeng Shipyard.
When the transfer representative of the Kunpeng Shipyard appeared, the Shanghai people below could not help but make a loud boo.
The representative turned out to be a pure Chinese with black skin, and after he came to power, in addition to speaking a few words of welcome English as the opening, he fucking authentic Shanghai dialect and laughing to the majority of Shanghai people with a smile.
This scene can't help but get the citizen of Shanghai.
Kunpeng Shipyard is a shipyard of the Alchemy State. Its person in charge is Chinese, that is, Chinese people can also support a sky overseas? Breaking into a career? Or, the king of the alchemist, the king of the gold country, attaches great importance to
Chinese, reuse Chinese?
For a while, Lenovo was unlimited. Some people who worked in many small shipyards in Shanghai and did not meet their hearts suddenly became hot.
After the representative of the Kunpeng Shipyard said, even if the handover ceremony officially started, a long red silk ribbon was lifted up. Ai Shili took a gold scissors with a smile and cut the red silk ribbon from it.
At the same time, a while of water flowing on the sea outside the dock rolled, a few dark things came from the underwater.
The dark and shiny body, seamless surface. The metal torpedo with four tip of the tip of the four -round head hangs on both sides of the streamlined pilot.
This is the submarine!
A total of four ships, four people waiting for the big killer -submarine!
This should be agreed in advance. As soon as the transfer and ribbon -cutting ceremony end, the submarine will show up.
These four submarines are performed this time are not fighting tasks, but performance tasks. When the four submarines broke the water surface and slowly drove out of the port, the temporary transfer platform on the dock was removed, or
It should be said that too late to dismantle, it was drowned by the Shanghai citizens.
Thousands of people were crowded on the long dock. I watched these magical submarines that defeated Beiyang and defeated the British fleet at a close range!
This time the submarine was given 100 % of the citizens of Shanghai, and the heavy face. I saw that the four submarines were like living fish on the wide sea surface.
It also surprised international friends.
The so -called layman looks lively.
The citizens in Shanghai just look at the lively. They will not feel that the submarine has a lot of tumbling up and down, but they just feel that these sealed strange boats can be dived and floating, which is really interesting.
However, those international friends who watched the doorway were white for a while, and it was quite ugly: what can be freely floated and dived and can be freely sailing on the bottom of the sea, and people who know a little about modern naval battle understand it.
After the transfer ceremony and the submarine performance, countless telegrams issued from Shanghai to all parts of the world.
The name of the submarine also sounds completely all over the world!
It turned out that the secret weapon that the King of the King of Metropolitan State was relied on is a submarine. No wonder he could create miracles on the sea repeatedly, and he also boldly classified the Arctic Circle as his sphere of influence!
When King Edward VII of the British King Edward VII learned about this, his face became extremely ugly. You must know. The most advantageous military power in the UK is the navy, but as the submarine is born, it will undoubtedly make this advantage drop sharply sharply.
At least, Britain's power radiation circle in the Far East has disappeared after passing the Battle of Nanjing Hundred Boats and the East China Sea Battle.
Today, the British Navy's nearest fleet is also near the Indian Ocean and Malacca Strait. If you want to re -enter East Asia and re -establish the radiation circle, you must pay ten or even 100 times!
The reason is simple. The global strategic focus in the UK has never been placed in East Asia. If it is lost, it is naturally difficult to make up. It is naturally difficult.
In East Asia, a previous Far East Fleet was enough to maintain the balance of East Asian countries, but now, because of the intervening of Long Yan and the 'uninvited order' of the Far East Fleet, the British military power can no longer reach the vast area!
Before the rise of Long Yan, most British's main fleets were deployed in the Atlantic Ocean, southern Africa, and the pearls in the crown -India.
For East Asia, senior Britain believes that a Far East Fleet, which is mainly eliminated, is enough to dominate the strategy of the country in the Far East and the Pacific region.
Because, the navy strength of various countries is too weak!
For example, the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty, the so -called world is the sixth, in the eyes of the British is simply a joke.
What about Japan? Don't mention it, it's not as good as Beiyang!
In the past few years, it was threatened by the Beiyang Marine Division with a cannon boat at the door ...
The United States? Industrial power is good, but its shipbuilding industry has not developed at all, and most of the shipyards are built on the developed east coast.
Unlikely.
Because in the circle of power built in the Far East and the Pacific Ocean, Britain is located at the top of the food chain and lacks the 'natural enemy' that can threaten it. Therefore, it has not invested too much.
It just wants to control the pulse of this area in the most economical way.
In fact, it was actually right to do this, because at that time, the Queen and Cabinet of Britain had absolute confidence. Once any changes occurred in the East Asia and the Pacific Ocean, the Royal Navy immediately dispatched the main fleet to rush to the past.
However, the United Kingdom just paid the price for its arrogance and arrogance.
Who made the world's pattern starting with Long Yan's declaration of war on the United States?
First, the Three Emperor Alliance War broke out in Europe, dragging Britain into the bottomless war vortex.
Then, Long Yan unexpectedly achieved a phased victory in the United States, and accepted it when he saw it well. Then he had the west coast of the United States as his own, and then the Arctic Ocean was included in its own sphere of influence.
In this regard, the United Kingdom couldn't make a hand to intervene, because it was brewing a coup inside. Soon, his son placed his mother under house arrest. Edward VII replaced Queen Victoria as king.
As for another important forces in Asia -Spain, it is also changing. The Vesavo of the Savid in the Caribbean region, using the United States to walk out of Cuba, invading Mexico '' faint tricks, anti -Geye, and Long Yan alliance
Controlling Central America in hand has greatly restrained the military power of the United States.
The Spanish overseas governor's forces located in the Southeast Asia Philippines. They are happy to watch the Empress David and Queen Mother Christina. In a short period of time, don't expect it to fall into which side easily.
This also means that the military influence of Spain in Southeast Asia can be ignored. At least, it will not make any obstacles to the alchemy national ships between China and the United States.
Therefore, when Edward VII wakes up, the Far East and the Pacific have become the situation where Long Yan and the Austro -Hungarian Empires control the global situation.
At least, in terms of Go terminology, the big appearance of this big air has been made, and only a few opportunities to leave the United Kingdom.
Yes, the Beiyang Marine Division and the Far East Fleet were inexplicably defeated in the East China Sea. Today, the entire East Asia and the Pacific Ocean are basically the Austro -Hungarian Empire and alchemy country with the big killer of the submarine.
Faced with this situation. Of course, when the British that after many years of the Earth Ocean Ocean, I ca n’t bear it. Therefore, Edward VII fired. After calling the cabinet for emergency discussions, the Buckingham Palace issued
Several commands.
First, Edward VII notify the Emperor William II. Increase the pressure on land on the Austro -Hungarian Empire. At the same time, the Royal Mediterranean Fleet bombarded the Austro -Hungarian Empire from the south to cover themselves
The colonial troops transferred in Africa landed. The hinterland center of the Austro -Hungarian Empire was inserted.
Second, Edward VII issued a death order. The Royal Institute of Science and Technology has developed a new type of weapon that can restrain the submarine as soon as possible.
I believe that with the strong marine heritage and technical accumulation in the UK, it is impossible to find a way to deal with the submarine.
Third, the Indian Ocean Fleet and the local fleet are divided into two directions, marching towards the Pacific Ocean, one direction is the Arctic Ocean, and the other is the entrance to the Indian Ocean Malacca ...
Create trouble, the lowest goal, Edward VII request, the two fleets have to cut off at least one of the three routes of Shanghai, China, and the Arctic Ocean islands!
When the foothold at the Pacific Ocean, "Eyes are alive", and then slowly draw it, ‘break his empty air’.
... After Edward VII issued three orders, the big stone in his heart seemed to put down a lot: Hum, the damn Earl Beihai, fighting me? Want me to let go of my mother?
After my Far East Fleet, you can do whatever you want in the Pacific and Far East. Haha, the king wants you to know that the Royal Royal Fleet is always the most powerful maritime armed on the planet, unless the warships in all countries in the world add up, otherwise
It will never be the opponent of the king! Oh!
The Baijin Han Palace issued a evil laughter against Long Yan, and in the Forbidden City of China. At this moment, the Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the heavy silver tickets in her hand and sent out the old hens with eggs.
Yes, silver tickets, stack up one million silver tickets, this is a gift brought by Li Hongzhang from Shanghai.
Obviously, this gift is very good for Cixi. Therefore, she has met with Li Hongzhang for more than an hour. She has not asked about the loss of the Beiyang Marine Division in the East China Sea War.
Beiyang, where can I see the silver ticket that can be seen and touch?
"Ai Qing's trip, it's not small!"
Cixi raised her eyebrows, and looked at Li Hongzhang with kindness, and she didn't remember until then: "Oh right, hearing that Li Aiqing's sailor encountered a failure in Shanghai, and he heard it.
Is such a strong ability? Actually contact the princess of the Austro -Hungarian country to support him? "
The relationship between Ai Shili and Long Yan is currently limited to very few people. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi also thought that Liu Kunyi was a coincidence that he climbed the big tree of the Austro -Hungarian Empire. Therefore, Li Hongzhang gave a bitter.
Li Hongzhang replied bitterly: "Liu's ability, the old minister was unexpected, and eating a defeat was a deserved lesson.
When it comes to the silver. The eyes of the Empress Dowager Cixi shine: "Oh? Where does Liu Kun get the silver?"
"It was given by the Princess of the Austro -Hungarian State. Their Hungar Hungarian country occupied a large share of tariff pricing rights.
Li Hongzhang lowered his head and said according to the lecture of Long Yan when he left Shanghai.
It turned out that a few days after the submarine transfer ceremony was over, Long Yan met Li Hongzhang.
At the beginning, Li Hongzhang did not give a little good look at the beginning of the scene. However, when Long Yan made the common trick: money opened, especially a huge battleship order and military expense sponsorship, Li Hongzhang softened.
In order to finance the finances, Li Hongzhang could not refuse Long Yan's Jin Yuan offensive.
Long Yan told Li Hongzhang that I did n’t want to occupy Shanghai. I just wanted to sell the goods smoothly to the motherland. My product focused on quality, so the cost is relatively high.
In the hands of the British I don't deal with, I can't rest assured.
After listening to Li Hongzhang, the first reaction is to turn the white eyes: This is the reason for you to launch so many serial conflicts? Oh, for a tariff pricing power, you have made so many storms? It also almost caused a comprehensive war with Britain
? The old man doesn't believe it!
To be continued...
