Jae-chun wasn't sleepy at all, and when he heard a knock on the door and an urging, he sat up from the bed with a bang.

"When?"

Xiao Sixi then looked at the pocket watch by candlelight, "...... at 4:35 a.m."

"So early, what is the master looking for me? Could it be that Liu Dadao's identity has been exposed?" Zaichun chuckled in his heart, and an inexplicable sense of fear surged into his heart.

"Your Majesty, don't panic...... Since Liu Dadao is the shadow handpicked by the Queen Mother, his ability and loyalty must not be said, and it will not be so easy to be exposed, you have the momentum to show the imperial demeanor that is not shocked everywhere......"

Da Sixi gave him an atmosphere while dressing Jaechun, "Take a deep breath, Your Majesty, don't worry, Xiao Lotian doesn't dare to do anything to you!"

Of course, Zaichun knows that Xiao Lotian will not do anything to him, whether it is the master-apprentice relationship or because he is the indispensable protagonist of this visit, Xiao Lotian will not turn his face with himself because of a Manchu Qing meticulous work.

But fear is not under personal control at all, and Jae-soon just feels panicked, and even his legs are shaking.

Later, when Jae-chun became in power, he recalled this night of fear in the Mediterranean, and he realized that what he was afraid of was not his master, nor the conspiracy behind it.

What Zaichun was afraid of was that he found out for the first time that there was an insurmountable gap between himself and his master, that is, from the night when Liu Dadao came to see him with the secret order of the queen mother, Jaechun's original ideological path that had been corrected by Xiao Letian once again irreversibly deviated.

There is a clear bifurcation in the core values of master and apprentice, which is the source of Jae Chun's inner turmoil and fear, but at the moment Jae Chun is still very young, and he does not realize the root of the problem.

Zaichun, who was dressed, opened the hatch, and there was a guard soldier of Xiao Letian standing at the door, only to see him say respectfully, "Please Your Majesty go to the foredeck immediately, the battleship is approaching the Strait of Gibraltar, the Führer please go over and have a look......"

"The master in the middle of the night asked me to see the strait?" Jae-chun was stunned at the time. 】

However, the soldier didn't know how to answer His Majesty's question, he just silently led the way in front, and soon Zaichun saw a group of people around the foredeck, and almost all the senior officers on the Zhiyuan headed by Xiao Lotian were gathered together.

"Jae-chun, come here! Look north...... There's British Gibraltar, and the British are ready to welcome you in advance and let you watch a big show......"

"Big play?" Zaichun looked at the sea in confusion, at this time he found that the British ** ships around him were more dazzling than usual, if the light brightness of these British ** ships was one hundred when they sailed late at night a few days ago, then the brightness today is three hundred.

Almost every British battleship was desperately sending light signals to each other, and the special signal flares were opened and closed by metal baffles, and under the control of the signal men, the different rhythms of the lights opened and closed to form a series of cipher messages that only the British themselves could understand.

Xiao Lotian didn't even look back, and whispered to Zaichun beside him, "The British are conducting night combat training, they are demonstrating to us, they are showing their strong naval strength!"

"It's terrifying! The strength of the British Royal Navy is not only the large number of advanced warships, but also the fact that they have very high-quality naval officers and soldiers......

"It's not chaotic at all, it's not chaotic at all when the battleship changes formation in the middle of the night...... There is a sense of order everywhere, and the entire Royal Navy is like a huge and sophisticated steam engine, showing the great power of the Industrial Revolution!"

Jae-soon rubbed his cheeks, which were numb from insomnia, and scraped his eyebrow bones fiercely, and his eyes suddenly brightened after a feeling of soreness.

The spectacular naval maneuvers in front of them came into view, and the British fleet began a well-prepared escort exercise around the Chinese fleet.

In the middle of the night, the battleship's guns were wide open and vigilantly watching the darkness around them, and the signal men in the bow and stern of the ship quickly issued the orders of the fleet commander.

Those frigates and cruisers crossed positions, and in the dark they could actually carry out extremely dangerous cross-passage crossing, and in the exclamation of countless Chinese soldiers, the battleships were almost colliding together.

Obviously, the British Royal Navy drew the best warships, the best officers and men, and they would not make low-level mistakes, and after several successful cross-sailings, the British fleet on the whole sea changed from a circle of escorts to an offensive goose-shaped formation.

Bang Bang Bang ...... There was a burst of monotonous applause on the Zhiyuan, and only Chinese students who had studied in Europe could understand how difficult these ordinary formation-changing acting was.

Xiao Lotian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he nodded and said secretly in his heart, in the era when there was no radio, more than thirty large warships were conducting night exercises in such a narrow bay, which was really not something that ordinary countries could do.

Connoisseurs can see the way out of the door from a drill, but Jae Soon can only see the door: "Why did you choose to do it in the Strait of Gibraltar? Why didn't you hold such a drill late at night?"

Xiang Ying, who was next to him, pouted when he heard it, "That's to increase the difficulty, in the narrow strait, the currents are chaotic, the reefs are numerous, and there are civilian ships that have been heading...... Conducting exercises here is a great demonstration of the British Navy's prowes!"

"Not only that, but it's also an overseas enclave that Britain has built for many years...... That's the port of Gibraltar in the north!"

"Look...... Your Majesty, look north! The British fleet is sending a light signal to the north, and the fortress of Gibraltar has begun to respond, look at the lighthouse......"

Five kilometers to the north, there was indeed a black shadow of land in the darkness, and there were faint lights shining, and at first Zaichun thought it was an ordinary European seaside town.

But in the next second, all of a sudden, the sparse firelight in the distance suddenly began to increase, and the light began to spread and become brighter and brighter at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Lotian said coldly, "The British Port of Gibraltar, this is a sharp knife inserted by the British in the strait, and this is also the base camp of the British Mediterranean Fleet!"

"Now, these Englishmen are going to show us their strength, because this is the most powerful fortress in the British Empire, and it is said that it will never fall!"

That's right, today is a British show to Xiao Lotian and Zai Chun to show off their muscles, and Chi Guoguo's threat is extremely strong, because it is about to arrive in the British mainland, and the Royal Navy wants to let the two of them know the rules.

In this world, Britain is the one with the biggest fist, and anyone has to admit it.

"Gibraltar...... Gibraltar...... Here is the Combined Fleet...... His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty and the head of the Chinese nationality are passing through the strait...... I'm here to report to you!"

"Combined Fleet...... Combined Fleet ...... This is the fortress of Gibraltar...... Please express our welcome to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty and to the Chinese Head of State...... The strait is safe, please the emperor and the head of state pass safely!"
