The British troops in Gibraltar, who had been on guard for a long time in the middle of the night, quickly began to move on the orders of the Governor, and the kerosene lamps that had been prepared long ago were lit and hung under the eaves of every building and in front of the windowsills.

Piles of grease-soaked chopping wood were lit by torches, flames rose in billowing black smoke, and God knows how many kerosene lamps and bonfires the fortress had prepared, and the whole fortress had become a city of flames as far as the eye could see.

The British soldiers in the fortress only felt that the heat was unbearable, but on the Zhiyuan, which was four or five kilometers away, it was a different scene.

In the dark night, the northern firelight is so obvious, piles of bonfires, strings of neatly arranged kerosene lamps, and even the candlelight revealed by the windows of the building, at this moment actually formed a beautiful and spectacular picture.

That's the outline of the entire Gibraltar Fortress, the city that never sleeps!

"Forts! Look, the cliffs due south are full of forts! Some of them are even hidden directly inside the cliffs......

"Hollowed out, the British hollowed out the whole mountain, filled it with cannons......"

"Look at the bay west of Gibraltar, it's a military port...... There are ships everywhere, oh my god I can't count them!"

Xiao Lotian is no stranger to this fortress, during World War II, Germany had a plan to attack here, but unfortunately it ran aground for various reasons, the key is that although the Spanish government at that time openly supported fascism and had close relations with Germany, but throughout the process of World War II, the Spaniards still kept neutral.

This can be seen in the post-war punishment, Spain was not liquidated by the Allies, which shows that the policy of neutrality worked.

Although Nazi Germany did not attack the fortress of Gibraltar, the British were also frightened enough, Germany in the blitzkrieg was really terrifying, and the intensity of World War II was far greater than Britain imagined, when the British Isles were almost falling.

Even the British mainland was already in jeopardy, not to mention an enclave like Gibraltar, where the Allies invested great manpower and force throughout World War II, desperately expanding the military fortress, and finally built the fortress into a world-class miracle.

In the documentary, Xiao Letian saw a black-and-white image of the fortress at that time, which is an aerial shot of an airplane in the air, in which the entire Gibraltar area is a peninsula, in an acute triangle from north to south, piercing directly into the sea.

It pierced into the strait like a dagger from the Iberian Peninsula, and it was very imposing.

The entire peninsula is a limestone mountain with cliffs on three sides, known locally as Gibraltar Rock, which is made up of a large block of limestone rock.

The southernmost cliff is known as the Wind Mill Plateau, which is 125 meters above sea level, which is a typical military terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The British took control of this place through the war, their cannons could be erected on the cliffs, condescendingly controlled the entire strait, and any ship was within the range of the cannons.

Not only that, but a large number of warships are stationed in the western strait, which forms an excellent situation of attacking, retreating, and defending.

In the War of the Spanish Succession in 1701, Britain was also a participator in the war, and in the end the British side was victorious, and the small peninsula became an overseas enclave for Britain.

The British have been building the fortress since 1713, and when the Suez Canal was opened, the British were more keen to anticipate the future prosperity and strategic position of the Strait of Gibraltar, so they devoted all their efforts to expanding the fortress.

After 156 years of painstaking management, you can imagine how grand the fortress really is.

Jae-chun was already stupid at the moment, at the end of his sight, at first it was just a town in the coast where the lights were flickering, but at this moment the lights had expanded, illuminating the entire fortress mountain.

The people of that era did not receive the visual stimulation of Xiao Letian's flashing neon lights in his previous life, and the dark night was a great obstacle for the ancients.

And the first impression of human beings on the bustling city is actually the four words 'brightly lit', in people's subconscious can consume fuel without limit, turning night into day, this is the most red fruit display of national strength.

Today, the British have used countless firelights to create a sense of the power of the British Empire by using countless firelights to display a neon night scene of neon night.

They did it, they succeeded, and at this moment the entire Rock of Gibraltar was illuminated by the light of fire, and the mountain range was shining brightly in the dark sea!

"Hooray, Hooray, O Lord, England has lit up a mountain to welcome you! Look, the British have lit up a mountain...... Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray......"

Listening to the roar of the senior joy, Jaechun's nose was sore, and tears remained in the corners of his eyes: "This is what I want! This is the treatment that the emperor should enjoy......

Rumble...... Boom......

Bursts of hollow cannon sound rang out in the distance, and the main guns of the fortress of Gibraltar began to fire, but the heavy muzzles did not fire murderous shells, only fire and loud noises.

"The Gibraltar Fortress has begun to fire a gun salute! They are welcoming Your Majesty......"

At the end of Jae-chun's line of sight, a fire lit up on the huge mountain from time to time, as if a flower of fire had bloomed in the dark night, and after the light, there must have been a loud thunderous noise.

The fortress is welcoming the emperor of the East, but at the same time the fortress is also warning the monarch of the East!

"This is our British territory, we are the strongest, you better be polite when you see our queen!"

Zaichun clenched his fists, he was no longer confused, he had made a choice in his heart, in the dark Zaichun secretly glanced at the master, he found that Xiao Lotian didn't look at him at all, and the master's wise eyes were staring at the fortress in the north.

"I'm sorry master, I have no choice...... Britain is too strong, it's not something I can beat, not even you......"

"I'd better listen to my mother's words and try to sign a cooperation treaty with Britain...... It looks like the British thighs are a little thicker!"

Xiao Lotian didn't guess that Jae Chun had actually made the opposite decision he expected. Xiao Letian had been worried before, he was afraid that Jae-chun would be deceived by the British to sign some treaties that were unfavorable to the Chinese.

Of all the Western powers, Britain has the greatest interests in China, and it is for this reason that Britain wants China to maintain the status quo the most, and they will never allow changes in China that are unfavorable to them.

The Manchus were like beasts that had been subdued, and in the face of the British Manchus' incomparable obedience, and very much with the British to seize the interests in China, how could the British not love such a government.

That's why Xiao Letian persuaded Zaichun bitterly, and only then did he have the reason for resource allocation, in the final analysis, Xiao Letian still hopes that his apprentices will not go too far, and the road will be too crooked!

"Jae-chun, do you see it? The British are flexing their muscles, they are threatening us......! I'm too lazy to whitewash, is this going into battle shirtless?"

"That's what you're talking about friendship, wake up!"
