2041 Trafalgar's Victory

At the entrance to the open English Channel, the wide sea is full of ships, the battleships of the Combined Fleet are the center of the storm, the eye of the storm, and the merchant ships around are the hurricanes that roar with joy.

Directly in front of the Zhiyuan, the British fleet began to change formations, and the battleships separated to the sides and gradually formed a V-shape with the Zhiyuan as the base, and all the merchant ships in the opening were avoiding it, making way for a proud warship.

Directly ahead, a beautiful three-masted sail warship was slowly approaching, not fast but revealing an indescribable pride from the inside out.

Everywhere the battleship went, the sea was full of cheers, especially the British merchant ships were almost boiling, all the sailors jumped and shouted wildly on the deck, and countless people were in tears.

"Victory!

"Long live Admiral Nelson! Long live the Royal Navy!"

"Trafalgar, the glory of our empire!" Trafalgar ......"

The civilians shouted, and the soldiers stood like javelins, all eyes staring feverishly at the battleship, their saluting hands never lowered.

"Fire a salute, greet the Victory......" With the captain's order, the sea was full of cannon sounds, white smoke filled the air, and the choking smell of gunpowder began to spread.

The atmosphere suddenly became even hotter, and the frenzied shouts of the crowd almost collapsed.

And none of this could affect the warship in the slightest, and like a proud king walking among the people who loved him, there was an unbeatable nobility in his cordiality.

At this moment, Xiang Ying was the most excited on the Zhiyuan, after all, he was an admiral, and he was too familiar with the battleship in front of him, which was almost the symbol of the British Royal Navy.

I saw Xiang Ying's lips trembling and said, "Victory...... Battle of Trafalgar...... Viscount Nelson...... The Soul Builder of the British Navy......"

"Master, look, this is the Victory! The Victory that all naval officers in the world will never forget! Admiral Nelson died on this battleship, and this is his flagship!"

"A 1st class sail battleship, built in 1759 and defeated the combined Franco-Spanish fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805...... That battle saved Britain and completely consolidated the invincible position of the British navy, and Nelson became a god in this battle!"

"Since then, this battleship has been protected by the British Royal Navy, and he has become a totem of the British Navy, which is where the military soul is condensed...... It is an unprecedented honour for the British to greet you with the Victory, and they have defined this visit to the highest standard in the history of Britain!"

Perhaps only the Navy can understand the Navy, Xiang Ying's excitement infected all the Navy officers and men present, but the brothers of the Army were a little indifferent, because they didn't know much about that period of history.

I don't know if it's still Jaechun and his attendants who are in the doorway, Da Sixi secretly pursed his lips and whispered, "What kind of thing? Welcome is also welcome to Your Majesty, what kind of gold ...... put on your face?"

Before he finished speaking, Jae-chun took advantage of the unpreparedness of people to go up and kick it hard, and almost didn't step on the instep of Da Sixi, "Shut up, and then talk nonsense and throw you to the sea to feed the fish......"

Immediately after that, Zaichun ignored the grinning eunuch beside him, stepped forward and walked to the master's side and asked softly, "Is this battleship so important? It's just a naval victory, isn't there still a British victory?"

"But it's just a victory?" Xiao Letian glanced at him, frowned, and said, "It seems that you haven't completed the homework I left you before, this is not an ordinary victory! This is a victory that determines the fortunes of the British ......."

Xiao Lotian is right, Trafalgar's victory can be described as a reversal of national fortunes for Britain.

In 1799, Napoleon staged a military coup d'état and took complete control of the power in France, followed by his military prowess to win successive victories in the European theaters, Austria, Turkey, Prussia, Russia, the Kingdom of Sardinia, Naples...... All the countries of the anti-French allies, except for England, were defeated by Napoleon one by one.

Even Napoleon sent an expeditionary force to get rid of the British Royal Navy that pursued him and made an expedition to Egypt.

This was arguably the most glorious period of military achievement in the history of France, when all Europe was terrified of the little man and the mighty France.

It is worth mentioning that the title of the first strongest in the French Army was played at that time.

At that time, all military strategists and politicians in Europe, including Britain, had a consensus that they had to fight the French Army in groups, and no one could fight him alone.

Thankfully, Britain is an island nation, and fortunately the UK has the Royal Navy!

But how could the ambitious Napoleon let go of the old enemy of England, who built huge barracks on the west coast of France, where tens of thousands of laborers worked day and night, building warships, transports, barges, and everything needed to cross the Channel.

The British are still very confident in their navy, they feel that the efforts of the French are just a joke, and naval warfare is an absolutely high-tech war, which requires a lot of high-quality sailors, and it is not a matter of fighting for numbers to win.

But as the spies gained more information, the British finally panicked, and they discovered that Napoleon was playing what the Chinese often called the Battle of the East and the West, and the Ming Xiu Plank Road was secretly Chencang.

The French navy was not prepared from the beginning to defeat the British, and the French navy had only one purpose to penetrate deep into the ocean to divert the main force of the British navy.

Then, taking advantage of the unique foggy weather in the London area, he secretly sent the invincible French army to the British island by barge.

At that time, Napoleon shouted, "Give me three days of fog, and I will completely sweep away the city of London!"

This is not a joke, this is not bragging, the British know that once the French army lands in the British Isles, the British army will not be able to hold it at all.

To be honest, Britain was really on the verge of falling at that time, and the crisis was not ordinary!"

Jae-chun tilted his head and watched the proud battleship get closer and closer, listening to the master's introduction, he finally understood a little why the British ** people were so fanatical.

"No wonder! This is a life-saving battleship!"

"Nonsense...... Xiang Yingtou didn't look back and snorted coldly, "According to records at the time, in order to deal with Napoleon's threat, Britain temporarily conscripted 590,000 soldiers, and many workers and farmers were sent to the barracks after practicing rifle shooting for half a day......"

"The navy even poured out of the nest, and all the spare warships sealed in the military port were all activated, and at that time, the British Royal Navy prepared 240 battleships alone, and not a single reserve was left ......"

Note: In the past few days, the heart is recuperating, and the health is not very good, so I can only maintain this update speed, don't worry, don't rush!

When the recuperation is good, there will be more.
