2116 Dawn 2
The grandest ceremony in the history of human civilization exchanges, today finally kicked off, looking at Zaichun, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, slowly approaching the Zhiyuan under the cover of the Qiluo umbrella, everyone present subconsciously looked at the pocket watch.
At 5:25, Jae-chun, accompanied by the Duke of Newcastle, returned to the Zhiyuan, and all the participants of the all-day event were gathered at this moment.
"The order was given, and in ten minutes all the soldiers were immediately in position according to the original plan...... You see, the British battleship has been pressurized and its sails are ajar......"
Boom Boom Boom ...... All the battleships of the entire Combined Fleet sounded the sound of dense footsteps, and the soldiers in the dining room, whether they had finished eating or not, put down their utensils, and began to assemble on the deck with the equipment they had prepared long ago.
Rows of soldiers gathered on the deck into small tofu cubes, and today only the most elite veterans, the most qualified warriors, were eligible to disembark for the ceremony.
Of the 2,000 expeditionary force, only 800 people were able to get off the ship and take to the streets today, and 100 people were in a square, and the whole eight squares were assembled on different warships.
The horizontal and vertical obliques are all one line, and all the soldiers are said to be carefully selected even for their height, from low to high, from 1.75 meters to 1.80 meters, forming a beautiful neat slope in rows.
Every pure copper button on the military dress was polished, the leather boots could reflect the woman's bottoms, the thick cowhide armed belt tied the waist tightly, and individual veterans also wore their battle medals.
The brothers who did not have the opportunity to participate in the honor guard looked out one by one at the hatch of the ship, and their eyes were blue with envy at the moment.
"Brother, don't fucking embarrass the big guys!fuck, you kid is so good-looking ...... your mom and dad gave birth to a good-looking "
"The Yellow Evil Doctor is here, the Yellow Evil Doctor is here to distribute the decoction to the big guy......"
A soldier carrying a large pot of soup and medicine, and the spoon was placed in it, and the yellow evil doctor ordered loudly, "No one has a spoonful, give me a drink!" There are herbs to resist heat stroke to prevent you from heat stroke, and there are also astringent herbs to prevent you from running out of your stomach......
"Don't be afraid, there are no side effects of herbal medicine, if you want to say that there are, some people may be constipated for three days after drinking it...... , what I want is for you to be constipated, so what if something happens at the end of the day......?
Looking at the lively brothers, this is a little more balanced, "It seems that you have a price for showing your face! Constipation for three days, hahaha......"
Wang Chen, the platoon commander in the team, took a sip of the decoction in the spoon, and then gave those comrades-in-arms who couldn't eat grapes a big eyeball: "Lao Tzu is happy! Not to mention constipation for three days, I am also happy for ten days...... I participated in this event, and when I go home, I can blow to my children and grandchildren for the rest of my ......life."
"Shh......h What about your children and grandchildren, is your daughter-in-law reincarnated now? Hahaha...... "This is the case in the army, those who don't have a task will always laugh at those who have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."
These soldiers, who did not have the opportunity to participate in the honor guard, were crazy with jealousy, and it would definitely not work if they were not ridiculed.
Wang Chen threw the wooden spoon into the bucket, "Damn, my daughter-in-law is in Borneo! And she is the Minister of Education appointed by the Führer! Fuck, you ...... to death."
"Cut ......," a group of people stretched out their middle fingers at Wang Chen, "Dream it! People can look up to you? The toad wants to eat the swan fart......
Just when Wang Chen wanted to refute and scold a few words, suddenly the roar of the leader Jiang Lie came from the front of the team, "All of them have ...... Salute to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty!"
At this time, people saw that the little emperor Zaichun had already climbed the gangway, and even the head of state and others had put down their utensils.
Usually you can do whatever you want, but not now, the little emperor is the highest status in the diplomatic corps, and everyone in the Chinese community must give him the highest respect in front of Europeans.
With a snap, a hundred tigers on the deck saluted collectively, and the majestic momentum made the Duke of Newcastle's eyes light up.
"It turns out that what I saw yesterday was not the most powerful moment of your side, but today is ...... God, how did you train these soldiers?" the Duke asked with a smile.
Xiao Lotian smiled faintly: "You're welcome! Can such a tiger be trained? Wrong, there is no need to train at all, this is just the original appearance of us Chinese!"
"I don't have any other skills, I just brush away the dust from my Chinese heart and let my original self be revealed...... Otherwise, does the Duke think that China's tens of millions of square kilometers of land are all fooled out by lip service?"
"Oh...... Hahaha, it makes sense, it makes sense, the Führer's mouth really doesn't suffer...... "Maybe it's because the Duke of Newcastle and Xiao Lotian have a business connection, and he doesn't care about the soft knife in Xiao Letian's words at all.
Europeans value profit over face, and their values are completely different from those of Manchu officials.
After a few polite words, Zai Chun looked at the opportunity and said excitedly to the master, "Master, you should really go ashore with me, the banquet of the Europeans is really interesting, very interesting, completely different from ours......"
Zaichun's eyes were bright, and he seemed to be playing very well, "The baron's manor is very large, and there are more than fifty gardeners who take care of the plants for him, and their style is different from our small bridges and flowing water in China, they are all square geometric figures......"
"And their banquet hall, which is not as big as it is, is full of specimens of all kinds of rare animals and plants, the most beautiful is a specimen of an African lion, occupying a corner of the banquet hall and the momentum is extremely extraordinary......"
"Haha, this is the first time I've seen a real lion, it's so big......"
Xiao Lotian smiled bitterly and looked at Zaichun, after all, he was still a child, and he was addicted to a little habitual toy, how could this be good?
Thinking of this, Xiao Letian said with a serious face: "Your Majesty! This is not the time to chat, look at the shore, the British people who greet you have begun to gather, please restrain yourself, we will set off at anchor at six o'clock!"
Zaichun touched a soft nail and didn't dare to rap anymore, so he had to go to his exclusive position on the bow of the ship and become a living specimen of the Great Qing Kingdom.
Today, the sailors specially ordered a wooden platform for Zaichun, and the little Jaechun stood on it two heads taller than the Duke of Newcastle, plus the bright dragon robe, so that the British people could see the majesty of the Eastern Emperor more easily.
Jae-chun couldn't help but gasp at a glance, it was not obvious just now, but now he saw that the British people gathered on both sides of the strait had gathered into a black group, and it was still increasing and expanding.
The Thames has blocked two-thirds of its channel today to meet Zaichun, and the middle and north sides of the river are all divided by armed speedboats, and all civilian boats can only take the narrowest passage on the south side.
And those large maritime merchant ships were simply forbidden to pass today, and there were warships of the British Royal Fleet everywhere as far as the eye could see, those small boats were maintaining order on the river, and the large warships were lined up waiting for the review of the Zhiyuan.
The Victory is ready to accompany it with its half-sailed sails, and the Victory and Zhiyuan will sail together in the direction of London.
