423 Battle of Momentum

Xiao Letian's feelings for Britain in this era are still very complicated, on the one hand, it is the national hatred and family hatred of burning the Old Summer Palace, and on the other hand, it is extremely envious of the super combat effectiveness of the Royal Navy.

He is really red-eyed, the British Royal Navy in this era pursues a double-power strategy, which means that the overall strength of the Royal Navy must exceed the sum of the second and third powers.

The goal of the British is too obvious, he wants to control the seas of the earth forever, and he wants to be ready to guard against other countries joining forces to challenge their national security.

Xiao Letian's words to the Earl of Tea, why can the prime minister of a country be moved, the reason is actually very simple, because Xiao Letian's analysis of the current situation is highly consistent with the national strategy of the United Kingdom, and curbing the expansion of France's strength is really the recent national policy of the United Kingdom.

The rise of the nation is a high-tech work that requires great care, you can't be too timid because that will lose a fleeting opportunity, you can't be too fanatical, fanatical enough to declare war with the world, at least now you can't have a stalemate with the British, because China now has no strength to wrestle with the British.

provoked France, Napoleon III sent a retaliatory army of ten warships at most, if you provoke the Queen of England, then I am afraid that hundreds of warships will be blocked at the mouth of Dagu, and there will be another drama of capturing Beijing.

Xiao Lotian is not a crazy old lady like Cixi, who dares to declare war on all nations, Xiao Lotian knows the way of balance, since Britain and France are two powers, don't mess with Britain if you provoke France.

For such a strong country, for such a strong country that is clearly unprovoked, when necessary, we must be willing to put down our faces and give more face.

"Honorable Prime Minister of the East, Xiao... I am the Commander-in-Chief of the North Sea Fleet, Vice Admiral James...... Welcome to the land of the United Kingdom..."

On the tall Sovereign, Xiao Lotian just turned over from the rope ladder, and greeted the commander-in-chief of the British fleet, Vice Admiral James, who was nearly fifty years old, this man full of veteran British gentleman style, handsome simply made Xiao Lotian crazy, no matter how you look at it, there is a bit of Beckham's taste.

"Oh, David Beckham...... No, no, Lieutenant General James, hello, hello......" Xiao Letian's mouth was so fast that he almost shouted the name of the star in his previous life. He took James' hand and gently kicked the deck under his feet.

"Well, the battleship is the floating land, and I am now standing on the territory of England, and my heart is full of ...... Safety..."

James laughed "haha...... Your Excellency Prime Minister is really a European expert, you can read the little temptation in my heart, I really didn't expect that you know so much about Western navies...... In fact, in the eyes of our Royal Navy officers, we all think that you are a land genius, but I realized today that I was wrong......"

When the two were greeting, Luo Huo and Sima Yun turned over on the rope ladder...... The brothers, who were not seriously injured and were physically mobile, were also invited to visit the British battleship, which was not the best of the best.

The sailors on the deck lined up in a standard phalanx, and their proud eyes moved with Xiao Letian's figure, and the standard of reception given by James to Xiao Letian was really high enough, and the prime minister of a country like Ryukyu, whose name may not have been heard of by Europeans, was said to have no such courtesy.

The officers behind Xiao Letian also held their breath at this time, the phalanx lined up was more rigorous than the British soldiers, this group of veterans who had fought white-knuckle combat battles, the murderous aura was stronger than these sailors who could only shoot artillery, and the two phalanxes had only been facing each other for ten minutes, and the British sailors' eyes were a little loose.

James, who was introducing Xiao Letian to the parameters of the battleship, noticed the anomaly, and he looked at Xiao Letian's officers with interest, "Oh, dear Prime Minister, are these the officers you led to the stone bridge miracle?"

Xiao Letian's eyes lit up when he heard this, this James is old enough and extremely experienced, and sure enough, like a hunting dog, he can smell weird with his nose.

James walked to the eastern phalanx, staring at the murderous officers one by one, and he soon noticed the strangeness of some of them.

"Japanese swords, Prime Minister, why did you allow these soldiers to bring such medieval weapons......?

"Well, they are members of my Foreign Legion, and now they are basically Japanese samurai, don't underestimate them, the most anxious and arduous moments of countless wars are the ...... that break the deadlock with their swords"

James was indeed a hound reincarnation, and he took a deep breath, "Ah...... What a smell of blood, soldier, can I take a look at your sword......?

Standing in front of James was the Japanese samurai Heita No, and he also had an official name called Heita Kono, I saw that this Japanese samurai had his feet tightly buckled on the deck, and the muscles all over his body were tied up like a leopard, and the aura of the whole person suddenly changed, as if he had returned to the kendo dojo in Kyoto and faced a strong enemy again.

James smacked his back, and all his hairs exploded, and this kind of murderous aura like a substance made him feel unprecedented danger. James knew very well that if the officer in front of him was willing, he could allow himself to die on the spot without even screaming.

"I ...... Xiao Yeping Tai...... The prime minister is my stepfather...... I am a descendant of Kyoto's Shin-Yin Ryu...... The name of this knife is a one-word pattern, and it is an exclusive prop for the Japanese Imperial Family...... It's a pity that I don't dare to put a chrysanthemum print on it, otherwise this is a top-notch chrysanthemum pattern......"

With a bang, the snow bright knife light lit up out of thin air, Rao is James was well-informed at this time, and he was also frightened to take half a step back, and the moment Ye Pingtai drew the knife, a murderous aura rushed to his face like an avalanche with an unstoppable momentum.

"Protect the General......" A group of British soldiers with bayonets were about to surround them.

"Don't move...... Stop..."Only then did James realize that what was in front of him was not the tip of the knife, but Nohei's steady right hand and the handle of the knife in his hand.

James glared at the soldiers around him fiercely, and scolded in his heart, after all, the navy is not something that the army can participate in, and there are not many people in the face of the army, and they will definitely deal with this kind of hand-to-hand conflict, and when the task is completed, they must be trained fiercely.

Xiao Lotian happily explained beside him, "Don't be nervous, Your Excellency General, didn't you just want to see my son's weapon......?

He said politely, but Xiao Letian secretly took a few mouthfuls in his heart, aren't you just the size of a battleship? This kind of thing is a comprehensive national strength and the industrial base of a country, you can rest assured that Britain is in the lead now, but in time, we China will definitely be able to surpass yours.

We are not as good as you in battleships, but the heart of dare to fight and the courage to fight, we will not be less at all, Ye Pingtai, this dismount is good, if you want others to respect, it is more correct to stand up first.

James took the heavy one-word famous knife, looking at the darkness in the blood groove, and the cold and slippery hilt, the general knew that this knife was soaked in blood, and this heavy soul was all wronged.

"This ...... Sir, may I ask you a presumptuous question?" said James, cautiously, "this knife was ...... How many have you ever killed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes were shining, and he stared at General James tightly, "Not much...... Only 230 people were killed by the explicit beheading, of which 15 were killed in Japan, 120 were killed in one night in the Ryukyu riots, 34 were killed in the Tanggu riots, and the rest were Europeans......"

Hiss...... This group of British officers and soldiers immediately gasped and killed 230 people with a knife? Is this a murderer? But Xiao Lotian knew that Yeping was not bragging, and in Naha's bloody night, this guy killed definitely not 120 people, only more than less, you must know that at that time, it was 100,000 thugs who caused chaos in the whole city.

"This, this, this...... How is this possible? How can this knife cut so many people, and the blade is not even mutilated?" James was the first to disbelieve.

At this time, Xiao Letian took over the conversation, "There are many incredible mastery in the mysterious East, and the kendo practiced by Noheita is one, they regard the sword as life, and they have all kinds of incredible war skills...... You're wrong when you say that killing people hurts the edge, as long as you dodge the hard bones of the human body and cut through the fragile joints, will it still hurt the edge?"

Perverted, this group of Orientals is really perverted, James didn't expect Xiao Letian to talk about anatomy here as the prime minister of a country.

"Oh, well, thank you for opening my eyes......" James hurriedly returned the knife to Noheita with both hands, and waved to disband the British honor guard.

The British originally wanted to use the momentum of the battleships and the guard of honor of the sailors to overwhelm these Orientals, but since the double reed of Noheita and Xiao Lotian finished singing, this secret momentum contest was even a draw.

The mid-level officers of the Monarch began to disperse to take the new officers around the battleship, while the general personally led Xiao Lotian to drink in the captain's room.

"Prime Minister, I have been ordered to escort you across the English Channel, and we have already detected the movements of the French, and we have communicated with the Prussian side...... I think now the Prussian diplomats have begun to make the way for your return trip......"

"After crossing the channel, you can return to the Portuguese merchant ship, and then the Portuguese coast guard will escort you, and when you enter the Mediterranean, the Italians will also protect you, after all, Prussia and Italy are allies, and your achievements in Sadova are also recognized by the Italian side......"

"As for the Sinai Peninsula, our British garrison will provide you with protection on land, don't think that the French are building the Suez Canal, they will block your way home, with the protection of our British Empire, your journey home is destined to be smooth sailing......"

Xiao Lotian smiled bitterly and drained the wine in the glass, "Thank you, thank you very much for the help of the UK, but the word smooth sailing is not appropriate for me...... Pity the 500,000 people of the Ryukyus, and pity our just starting business..."

James sat up straight, and sighed regretfully, "From the injustices you have encountered in Europe, I have a new understanding of the French, and in my personal feelings I hope you can win, and I am even willing to take the fleet to fight the French ......"

"Unfortunately, I'm a soldier, I have to follow the orders of politicians, and given the current relationship between Britain and France, there's only so much we can do to help you......"

There was silence in the captain's room, and Xiao Lecai stood up for a long time, "Are we leaving the North Sea? I'm going to the deck and let me say goodbye to the brave fishermen and sailors...... Goodbye Prussia..."
