"Well, these Chinese are still very sensible to know that eggs are not allowed to collide with pebbles...... Hahaha, they've dissailed and they've slowed down......"

The Busantor, the flagship of the operation, was in the middle of the three cruisers, and the captain put down his binoculars and lit a cigar comfortably.

"See? This world belongs to the navy, why is Britain strong? It is because they have the world's largest navy, why are we France the second in 10,000 years? It is because the damned army has taken the most military appropriation..."

The captain was very angry, especially after the Imperial Army lost face at the hands of the Chinese this time, the anger of the navy that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be contained.

Since ancient times, there have been many contradictions between the navies and armies of various countries, and in the final analysis, it is still money to make trouble. Even if a country is as rich as Britain, it cannot maintain the world's first navy and army at the same time, and no country in the long history of mankind can achieve it except for the United States after World War II.

The British navy is good, but their army is weak, on the contrary, the French army is strong, but their navy can only eat dust behind the British.

In Xiao Letian's memory, the country with the most obvious contradiction was Japan during World War II, and the contradiction between the army and navy even rose to the level of national policy formulation.

At that time, the spokesperson of Japan's army power was Hideki Tojo, and the spokesperson of the navy power was called Mitsumasa Yonechi, and before World War II, the War Office tended to ally with Germany and Italy, while the Admiralty tended to ally with Britain and the United States.

In 1936, after the February 26 Mutiny in Showa 11, the Japanese Imperial Road faction was suppressed, and the ruling faction represented by Hideki Tojo came to power, and it was only then that World War II entered a full-scale outbreak period.

Sometimes, Xiao Lotian was also entangled in thinking: If the pro-British and American navy had been in control of Japan at that time, would modern history have been rewritten? What would have been the outcome of World War II? Every time he thought of this, Xiao Lotian shuddered and had goosebumps.

The story of Japan is not mentioned for the time being, but now France actually has very strict internal contradictions between the army and navy, and when Napoleon III restored the glory of the French army, the senior naval officers were not comfortable in their hearts. They are all soldiers of the empire, why favor one over the other?

Therefore, when the French Army made Xiao Lotian slap his mouth, this group of senior naval officers scolded on their faces but secretly laughed in their hearts, they deserved it...

"The glory lost by the army has to be made up for by our navy, and Xiao Lotian will be captured alive and presented to His Majesty the Emperor of Paris...... I firmly believe that the Navy budget will definitely be doubled next year, hahaha......"

The captain laughed arrogantly, but there were always some blind people around him who were annoying, "Hmm...... The decline of our navy is not due to the defeat at the Battle of Trafalgar......"

The more the blind man spoke, the lower his voice became, and in the end, he simply covered his mouth with his hand and stopped talking, and there were murderous eyes all around him.

The captain said with a sad and indignant face, "The core root of Trafalgar's defeat is not because the navy is too weak?

"So, you're also a member of the navy?" said the officers around him in unison.

The blind man finally shut up in shame, but he still couldn't help but nagging in his heart: "Was our navy weak back then? Under the leadership of Napoleon, we were able to successfully break through the defense and rush into the Mediterranean Sea to expedition to Egypt, is such a navy really weak? Moreover, the Battle of Trafalgar was obviously our ship, how good ......were the ships?"

But it's a pity that some things can only be said in the heart, and they can't be put on the table.

"Captain...... The Portuguese on the opposite side are issuing flags...... But the angle is wrong, I can't see clearly......" Just when the group of people were full of ambition, the lookout hand who was high above suddenly shouted.

"I can't see clearly...... It's as if they are waving flags to fishing boats and merchant ships on the sea...... Wait a minute... Turning around, they sent us a signal......"

"Tell me," the crowd became impatient.

"The other side asked us to close the gun door and lift the alert posture...... Ryukyu Prime Minister Xiao Rakuten has agreed to board the ship, but they are asking for the courtesy of diplomats..."

"Hahaha...... This group of Chinese confessed in front of our navy...... That's the power of the cannons, that's the power they can't fight......" The captain jumped excitedly.

"Colleagues, now you know how important the navy is, right? No matter how elite the army is, it is only composed of one individual, and the enemy's bullets will kill you if you hit the chest...... But our navy is different, every warship here is the pinnacle of human shipbuilding technology......"

"We have the firepower to destroy a city, we have the defense against shells, and we have the power to get unimaginable maneuver when our sails are opened...... Yes... Almost all the most advanced technologies in human society have been condensed together to form this invincible warship under our feet......"

Well, it seems that this captain has the potential to be a third-rate poet.

"Listen to my orders, the battleship is full on the right side...... The port side is parallel to the merchant ship...... Close the gun door and wait for our captives to board the ship......" the captain pouted.

"It's a lot of a move, as long as our three battleships meet the enemy on the side, even if all the gun doors are closed? It only takes more than ten seconds to open them all...... By that time there will be a hundred loaded guns aimed at you, and you will be waiting to go to hell with a single salvo......"

The French cruisers began to close their guns and change their posture as Xiao Lotian requested, and the flag sent back was very polite, and they promised Xiao Lotian that they would give him the best diplomatic courtesy, and this time they only wanted to invite the Prime Minister of the Ryukyus to Paris.

After Xiao Letian listened to the standard-bearer's translation, he spit into the seawater, and looked at the battleship that changed its attitude with contemptuous eyes, "Guest? pick me up with three heavy cruisers? Why didn't I notice that my face was so ......?"

At this time, the Portuguese captain came over and said cautiously, "Your Excellency, the flag has been echoed, and now there are ten fishing boats rushing towards us, and they are willing to take you out of here...... Prime Minister, I've picked out a fishing boat, it's the fastest one, so you and your wife can get on board......"

"Well, what ship am I on? As I have just said, I must stay here and deal with the French, or none of you will escape their retaliation...... Let my lady get on board, and you will leave quickly......"

Xiao Letian looked at the captain coldly, "I'm not joking with you, you have to remember, only I can stabilize these Frenchmen, I am not here, you all can't live..."

As he spoke, a small fishing boat had already been posted, and the starboard side of the Portuguese merchant ship faced the French warship, and the fishing boat quietly approached the port side of the merchant ship, and was not discovered by the French for the time being.

"What's the matter? What's going on with you? What are these Frenchmen going to do?" The captain of the fishing boat was a native of Hamburg, and he really cared about the guests from China.

The Portuguese sailors said with a sad face, "Don't ask, these damn French are too bullying, they are here to deal with these Chinese guests, just now Prime Minister Xiao Lotian has agreed to go to the French battleship as a hostage...... You are here to disperse and take away the rest of the officers, and retreat to Hamburg as soon as possible, and it is a ...... to save one."

With a bang, the fishing boats that had been attached to it and the fishing boats that had already approached exploded, and they jumped to their feet and scolded this group of French people for being shameless.

"Flag Message...... Flag-raising slogans one by one...... Let's not leave here, and help Chinese evacuate here......"

One rope ladder after another was thrown down, and the sailors on the fishing boat looked up at the Chinese officers and shouted anxiously, "I can hide ten people in this boat...... Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up ......"

"I can hide 8 people in this boat, come to me...... I can hide 5 people in this boat, I'm safe here......"

In the midst of one urging after another, Xiao Letian suddenly broke out, "What are you all looking at? Lao Tzu used his life to buy you time, but you don't cherish it? bastard...... Get out of here, I want to return to China alive, and you will finish the road for me that Lao Tzu has not finished......"

"Your Excellency...... Didn't we say that we would live and die together? If we were gone, how would we look up in this life...... What face do we have to go back to China to see our hometown fathers and elders, ......" The crowd exploded with a bang.

Xiao Lotian now has the heart to cry: "You guys...... I'm so angry that you're angry, and Lao Tzu is not going to take you to the grass in Liangshan and the mountains to go to the grass, why do you die in the same year, the same month, and the same day? You and I rarely die with you? You go back and help me kill the enemies one by one, so I'm happy...... Let's go..."

In the chaos, a female voice like a yellow warbler sounded, "The soldier's order is to obey, have you all forgotten it......?"

Of course, it was the tiger girl who spoke, and at this time she was able to snatch Xiao Letian's words, but today was different from usual, and Xiao Letian, who had great respect for the tiger girl, also turned cold.

"Tiger girl, Ping'er...... You guys go too, Master Long escorts Madame and leaves quickly..."

When Long Ye heard this, he was anxious, "Why is there still me, how can I leave......"

"Get out... Get out of ...... for me" Xiao Letian pulled out a pistol from his waist and put it on his chin, "Lao Tzu, this is the second time I have forced you, you know my temper, you know that I won't joke with you, Lao Tzu really dares to shoot......"

The crowd was immediately calmed, Xiao Letian is a ruthless person, everyone knows it, this time it seems that he has really made up his mind, and if everyone doesn't leave, they may really force him to death.

Hu Niu cried and jumped angrily, "You threaten me again, you bully me again, what do I owe you? Why let me go when something happens? Old lady, I don't want to go, can't I...... Woo woo... Even if you're under house arrest in Paris, someone has to cook and wash your clothes......

The crying tiger girl's temper also came up, she strode in front of Xiao Letian, and suddenly took out a Colt revolver from her shoulder bag, and she actually put it on her chin.

"You don't scare the old lady...... If you die, I will die, if you shoot, you will shoot me......"

With a bang, the crowd exploded, and the Portuguese captain and the sailors drew crosses on their chests one by one: "What's the matter? Why can't we understand anything? God, they're a natural pair......
