Losing the topic of the demolition just now, Xiao Lotian whispered to Jae Chun, "Portsmouth Military Port is the largest, most important and even very important military port in the world......

"The port is located in the middle of southern Xinjiang, the east chokes the Strait of Dover, controls the exit of the English Channel in the west, and is the political and economic center of the United Kingdom - London, known as the "southern gate of the capital", so the British royal family has carried out naval parades ...... times outside London."

"Today, Britain is actually preparing for a parade for us off the coast of Portsmouth, which shows that our plan has been a great success, and Britain has treated us with unprecedented courtesy......"

"And didn't you just hear that? The message from the Victory was just a small parade...... Of course, it's small, and the grandest parade won't start without the queen!"

"Keep your eyes peeled, today's scene is destined to be spectacular!"

After a while, the barge sent the Duke of Newcastle to the Zhiyuan, and as soon as he boarded the ship, the Duke's eyes suddenly lit up, and this battleship full of science fiction suddenly attracted him.

In this world, if you want to talk about the understanding of the navy, if the British want to say second, then no one dares to say first, and as a high nobleman of the empire, you must understand the navy.

The Duke of Newcastle doesn't even need to ask about the specific parameters of this battleship, just by first impression can feel the strength of this battleship.

Reaching out and patting the heavy steel guard, the feedback vibration is almost zero, which shows that the thickness of the steel plate is very amazing.

If you look at all the paint surfaces of the steel, there are almost no dead ends, and the paint is extremely uniform everywhere.

The removal of the 210 main gun with its head held high in the air completely subverted the Duke's impression of the ordinary battleship artillery, and the rifling of the spiral cut of the muzzle exudes artistic beauty, and you can imagine how terrifying the acceleration of the shell will be in such a gun chamber.

What surprised him even more was how orderly the whole ship was, all the items on the deck were extremely neat, and the ropes were tied up like works of art, a craft that only an old sailor could have.

There is no hygienic blind spot, no clutter, including those soldiers, all of them are full of energy, and all the work is orderly.

"Is this really the Eastern Navy built by Xiao Letian? How is it possible, where did he find so many high-quality soldiers? Aren't the Chinese all dry ducks?"

When he was muttering, Xiao Lotian had already stepped over with Zaichun, and Xiao Lotian stretched out his hand four or five steps away, revealing a standard smile, eight snow-white teeth shining.

"Welcome, honorable Duke, I hope this ship of mine doesn't make you laugh......"

"Ah...... Oh, hahaha...... Your Excellency, you are so good at joking, such a warship does not even have my British Empire, how can you laugh at it?"

"Your English is very standard, but you have a slight accent from New York...... Did you grow up in the United States? I really want to meet the kind of parents and teachers who can educate a great man like you!"

! Xiao Letian scolded in his stomach at that time, old and cunning Englishman, did you give me eye medicine as soon as you came up? Now no one in Asia dares to hold on to my past identity, and as a result, you are churning again.

But there is no way, the British are fearless, they are not afraid of you Chinese at all, you Xiao Lotian bullied and bullied those backward nations in East Asia, and you really have to be a man with your tail between your legs when you go to Europe.

"Thank you for the duke's false praise, I'm really ashamed! My parents are just small businessmen who wander around the world, not to mention, and the second elder has passed away! As for the accent problem, I'm afraid it's caused by my own English proficiency is not high enough, it seems that I need to find a real grammar teacher in London to correct it, hahaha......"

The Duke of Newcastle didn't come out with any dry goods, nor did he continue to stimulate him deeply, but turned his head to face Emperor Tongzhi respectfully, and bowed ninety degrees.

"Welcome, noble majesty, foreign ministers wish you long live, long live, long live!" The last three long live were actually said in Chinese, and Jaechun was excited at that time.

This is the Duke of England, the Queen's right-hand man, an important member of the royal family, who bowed to me respectfully and praised me Long live!

At this time, Zaichun has long since lost the stinky problem of the old winter bakers in China, and the rules of three kneels and nine knocks Emperor Tongzhi have long been thrown into the Atlantic.

After really feeling the strength of the United Kingdom, he realized that it was enough to give you a bow, which was already a supreme honor.

"Flatten! Flatten...... I've come all the way to England, and I'm going to bother you during this time!" said Zaichun, who actually took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

The Duke of Newcastle was stunned, and subconsciously stretched out his hand and shook it with Zaichun, his heart was no less than a hurricane, he never thought that the Manchu Qing group, which was known for its stubbornness and conservatism, would actually produce such an enlightened little emperor.

This is a hundred times stronger than his father, Emperor Xianfeng, who did not see the ministers of various European countries until his death, and even destroyed an Oriental summer palace for a kneeling salute.

This is really not a joke, because at that time, what Britain wanted was to teach the Manchus a lesson, and then get the contract, in fact, the war reparations were secondary, the main thing was that you had to open customs, and you had to accept the inflow of European goods.

In fact, this kind of contradiction and conflict can be resolved by negotiation, the British and French allied forces bombarded Dagukou, and the Manchus did not hurry up to negotiate peace when they saw that they could not defeat it, and the conditions agreed to Britain and France would not have caused the tragedy of attacking Sijiu City later.

At that time, Britain and France did not demand many conditions, such as the opening of missionary rights, the opening of a number of ports, and finally the establishment of embassies between the two sides.

In fact, from the perspective of people in the 21st century, these conditions are actually quite equal.

But Emperor Xianfeng refused, not only refused to negotiate peace but also refused to contact the British and French envoys, and finally the monk Greenqin detained the British and French envoys, tortured and threw all these foreigners into the dungeon.

At that time, after the British and French troops rescued their envoys, they found that all the bodies were mutilated, and the wounds were already maggots. Some of them have become cold corpses.

This barbarian behavior completely angered the coalition army, and this led to the final punitive action of burning the Old Summer Palace.

In fact, judging from the barbaric treatment of the British and French envoys by Seng Gelinqin, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a barbarian military group that came out of white and black water, has been nourished by the cultural nourishment of the Confucian civilization in the Central Plains for 200 years.

But the cruelty and savagery in their bones have never changed!

It is worth mentioning that the place where Monk Lingqin imprisoned the British and French envoys was the Old Summer Palace!
