Shu. Jiangbei Canal

The first ironclad ship with real combat significance in the history of the earth was born from here, and the people of Shu did not hesitate to build two largest steam ironclad ships in history in order to deal with the largest military country in Asia, Wu State, two 237mm heavy guns are enough to destroy any warship in the current world, not to mention that it is also equipped with six 152mm cannons, these six naval guns are not only used to deal with sea targets, it is designed for the biggest purpose of dealing with those high-flying battleshipsOriginally, the Shu people planned to wait for a month and a half before launching an attack on Wu along the coastline, but with the news of the Hades army's victory in Europe from the west to the ears of various countries, the Shu emperor was not calm, and hurriedly ordered the shipyard to complete the last three light ironclad ships overnight, and hurriedly carried out a huge nationwide preparation movement, and drove the only ironclad fleet of six Shu to the canal. Begin the final preparations for the invasion of the coastal cities of Kure...

The emperor of Shu walked slowly along the side of the canal under the protection of a large group of palace guards, and on the embankment in the distance, the slender men dragged the ship full of ammunition, grain and grass to the vicinity of the fleet, and a large group of wharf coolies swarmed up, lifted the heavy canvas and began to move the materials to the ship, the person in charge of the wharf hurriedly walked over respectfully after seeing the emperor, and reported to him the recent work in a panic

"At present, it is almost ready, two more transport ships are enough, and the accompanying crew has been assigned by the Maritime Affairs Department, uh... I'm sending the general to take count..."

"Where's Rong Lu?" The emperor looked at a huge ship in front of him, this is the flagship of the fleet, one of the two capital ships, but there are two cannons and four 45mm rapid-fire guns more than the other, the royal flag of Shu is being slowly raised by two sailors, and the yellow-green two-color flag is constantly dancing with the direction of the wind

"General Rong is still training iron artillery in the sailor barracks..."A minister who accompanied him replied, the emperor nodded, and said: "This iron artillery is a sharp weapon, but compared to the sea country far east of us, our iron cannon is simply incomparable with them, the sea country people are said to have bought a batch of advanced iron cannons with underground humans, what is it called rapid-fire rifles?" It can shoot about ten projectiles at a time, although only 10,000 are only enough to equip 10,000 people, but it is also worth our 100,000 iron artillery divisions, and we are still using this old single-shot cannon, really..."

"But now our navy is invincible, even with bows and arrows, we can defeat the Wu Kingdom!" The accompanying military general said, and the emperor sighed, "Yes, when we defeat the State of Wu, occupy the industrial town of Zhongjiang of the State of Wu, and rebuild a few of his ironclad fleets, even if it is the King of Hades, we will have to weigh whether we have the weight to fight against our naval army!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang~" The sound of muskets in the distance attracted everyone's attention, and the emperor said: "Oh, I'm afraid it's our iron artillery division, let's go and see how General Rong trained the iron artillery division?"

...

"May I ask who you are?" 207 looked at the eyes of the person in front of him, and also saw himself from his eyes, the breath on this person's body made 207 more and more sure that this guy in front of him was the Hades, but he didn't expect this Hades to also notice himself, it seems that his true identity may be revealed... If this is the case, 207 has to plan in advance how he will deal with this possibility, and he must also ensure that his identity does not lead to historical changes and changes

"You can't be...."The Hades King was about to ask about his identity with a suspicious expression, but 207 hurriedly interrupted and said, "I really didn't expect you guys from the Divine Machine Pavilion to chase Lao Tzu here, you guys are really dutiful!" Do you want to accompany me for two tricks? ”

"You misunderstood me..."The Hades King obviously didn't expect 207's reaction to be so intense, but the name of the Shenji Pavilion is like thunder, 207 yelled at himself in public, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out for a while, this has already attracted the attention of many people, I'm afraid these people have begun to suspect that they are the people sent by the Wu State Shenji Pavilion, 207 has already clenched the two swords in his hand at this time, and made a posture of making a big fight at any time, and the Hades King had no choice but to sneer, Remove a steel sword from your back and unsheath it with the hilt in your hand

"I think you misunderstood me, I'm not from the Divine Machine Pavilion, I'm just a mercenary who travels all over the world for a while, and I'm not on the same path as those guys, but speaking of which, it seems that your Excellency is being followed? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so excited, what do you do? Why are you so afraid of being bumped into by the people of the Divine Machine Pavilion? Could it be that you have committed something? Wanted? ”

"You!" Twenty-seven stood up and said to him, "Leave my business alone! Watch out for your own life! With that, he turned around and rushed out of the teahouse, the Hades grabbed the tea bowl and threw it at his back, 207 turned around and grabbed the cup in the blink of an eye, fell to the ground, and said angrily: "What, you want to fight?"

"You guy!" Hades said angrily: "From beginning to end, you haven't spoken to anyone properly, you are so arrogant, you should be taught a good lesson!" After that, the Hades King pulled out his sword and kicked the table in front of him, and rushed to him, 207 also swung his knife to block the blow, the two knives burst out in mid-air with dazzling sparks, and with a bang, the strength of the two was comparable, and the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but exclaim: "These two people, the realm cultivation is extremely hidden, and I can't see what realm the two of them are, but seeing that these two people are so burly, they should be people who have been in the military camp all year round. There are very few people in the military camp who can hide their own cultivation and fight with people without showing any dew, this kind of realm has exceeded the sixth-order re-refining realm, the two of them can actually be equal, obviously neither of them is a character to be messed with, such a powerful strength is rare in the entire Eastern World, no one even recognizes them, it's really strange? ”

"You—" Hades gritted his teeth and looked at the guy in front of him who was half a head shorter than himself, and he didn't have the upper hand in the slightest when he fought him, which made him start to feel a little weak

"You guy... How strong is it? The Hades envoy pushed him away with all his might, and Twenty-Seven staggered a few steps to stop, and with a wave of his arm that shook his sore hands, he suddenly saw a few guys with knives behind him quickly leaning over, and then sneered: "It seems that the two of us barely had a draw, how about finding a time to fight again?"

"I'm happy to accompany you!" Hades put away his sword, and the shrill whistle of the military police sounded in the distance, 207 glanced at the altar not far away that was alarmed by the movement here, Hailan Moyu was caught in the crowd and kept looking here, but he was simply blocked from sight and did not see himself, 207 proposed: "Okay, three days later, the rocky beach in the southern strait, just you and me, let's have a good fight!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Twenty-seven turned around and trotted all the way to escape the scene, Hades turned around and followed his subordinates and left here in a hurry, when Hailan Moyu squeezed out of the crowd, it was already empty, where was there any fighting, the patrolling military police were holding electric drills, blindly searching there, but no one was caught, Hailan Moyu suspected in his heart that the masked man who had been following him was very likely to be standing here just now, but he was long gone now, who could it be? Who fought with him?

...

"Your Highness!" An old attendant with a black goatee followed him with a magic staff, "Who was the man who fought with you just now?" ”

"A great guy..."Hades Long Jian seemed to be still immersed in the fight just now, and did not listen to most of his questions

"Your Highness, forgive me for talking too much, just swaggering into the Sea Country, aren't you afraid of being identified by those masters of the Sea Country?"

"Then I'll kill them all!" Long Jian replied without hesitation, Pan Ruichang shook his head when he heard this, and the Hades King did not mention this matter again, so he changed the topic and continued: "By the way, Pan Ye, how long will it take for Lin Sheng to reach the Far East?"

"It won't take more than a month, right?" Pan Ye replied, Long Jian sighed, and said: "I originally wanted to deal with the Wu State first, but we were really afraid of their sky-high warships, and we couldn't directly turn the offensive south, after all, thousands of kilometers away were placed here, so we could only find a way to capture the Sea Kingdom, but we didn't have a suitable admiral to command our fleet, so we could only let go of this time first."

"That's right..."Pan Ye then sighed: "It would be much easier if there was a person like the head of the Hailan family among us, I heard that his two daughters are very smart, compared to us, this gap is really..."

"Forget it, Pan Ye... Let's talk about it later... Let's talk about it..."Long Jian patted him on the back and walked to the beach alone, unable to calm down for a long time...

...

Three days later, 207 came to the rocky beach of the southern strait as promised, and saw the Hades King Long Jian who had been waiting here early, 207 put on a mask this time and came to him, Long Jian sneered: "Why, don't you dare to show your true face?"

"His Highness the Immortal King!" 207 said: "I came to discuss with you about joining you, not to fight."

Long Jian smiled and didn't make a sound, 207 said: "If you think I'm unhappy, you can beat me, and I will accompany you to the end, provided that you have to promise me to let me follow you!"

"Are you here to negotiate?" Long Jian smiled: "Hehe, it's the first time I've heard of a guy who is hard like a stone and actually relented after a few days to negotiate with someone?" Are you cornered? ”

"I know you're upset with me, but if I tell you that I have a good way to help you defeat the Sea Kingdom and destroy the Little Overlord of the East, Wu Kingdom, will you agree?"

Long Jian's smile froze, he raised his head and looked at the guy in front of him with some incredulity, still as unhappy as ever, but he succeeded in attracting his attention, and it became more and more intense, in the end, Long Jian nodded and agreed to his request, 207 walked to his side and patted a reef next to him and sat on it, Hades King Long Jian asked him again: "Who are you?" Why do you want to help me, obviously all this has nothing to do with you, obviously with your strength, you can completely transcend the world, but you have to wade into this troubled water, for what? ”

"I'm not here for anything else," 207 replied quietly as he looked at the place where the sea and the sky met, "I'm just here to save someone."
