Chapter 417: Erdan's Ambition (I)
Chapter 411: The Ambition of the Second Egg (Part I) (24/30)
"This needs to be told by the young master, you personally." Liu Da smiled and said, "Also, young master, do you need to meet Michael Owen and Steve Liu?" ”
"Are they here now?" Liu Fei asked.
"Well, Michael Owen is expected to arrive in three more minutes." Liu Da bent over Liu Fei before continuing: "It's up to them to report to the young master about them personally." However, both of them now have extraordinary influence in their respective countries, and they are both big men, and in this world, they are probably destined to stay in the history books. ”
"Poof" Liu Fei was choked by his saliva again, it's not that Liu Fei's ability to bear it is poor, it's just that Steve Liu is okay, Liu Fei is just a random name, but Michael Owen Liu Fei was a spoof at that time, I don't know if in this history, if there is Michael Owen, wait for more than a hundred years later, the British wind chasing boy, the British golden boy will still appear?
"Give me, how's the situation in England?" Liu Fei asked with some curiosity, you know, the Britain of this world is very different from the Britain of the original world, first of all, the Britain of this world was directly killed by Liu Fei The entire Far East Fleet, and also robbed more than 100 tons of gold and more than 600 tons of silver, although these gold and silver were not originally British.
"This is the data of the comprehensive national strength of the United Kingdom, as well as the navy, the army and other data, on the whole, the comprehensive national strength of the United Kingdom in this period of time and space is about 10 percent higher than that of the United Kingdom in another time and space in this time period, and the strength of the navy and the army are each increased by about 20 percent." Liu Da said quickly.
"Why is that?" Liu Fei was taken aback, damn it, is it possible that Nima is not open to the British, and Lao Tzu has destroyed an entire Far East Fleet, and Britain's national strength has actually risen compared to history? And if memory serves, Liu Fei is still selling No. 4 to the UK, right?
"Young master, this is the so-called chain reaction, because the young master killed the entire British Far East Fleet, but did not kill all the British crew members who fell overboard at that time, so there were still British sailors who were rescued, and these news were transmitted back to the United Kingdom, so that Britain knew that their naval fleet is not the most powerful on the sea now, however, the British navy in this period is indeed the most powerful in the world, leaving us alone, so Britain has mobilized a lot of money to research artillery technology and new battleships."
"At present, British artillery technology is more advanced than in the same period in history, and although the new battleship is still a sailing structure, according to the information collected by Michael, the research on ironclad ships has gradually begun. The first ironclad ship in history was the first main ironclad battleship built by the French Navy in 1859, although the French Navy had also built the first steam ironclad ship Napoleon, but it was not the main battleship, but now it seems that this first main ironclad battleship may have been invented by the British. ”
"In addition, the improvement of Britain's comprehensive national strength has something to do with the dumping of No. 4 into the UK, young master." Liu Da laughed.
"Can you sell No. 4 and sell it to improve your comprehensive national strength?" Liu Fei was completely speechless.
"What's the matter, it should be, the impact of the comprehensive nature, including the destruction of the Far East Fleet, also has a lot to do with it, because Britain feels that there is a strong enemy in the East, so they have stepped up the plundering of the colonies, and in addition, a considerable part of the British plundering of the colonies now comes from some British families, and some of the heirs of these families are because of drug addiction ~ products...... The price of poison ~ products is getting higher and higher, so it has to increase the plundering of the colonies, as well as the mining of gold in some places, excluding Australia, other regions, the colonial areas controlled by the British are at least deeper than in history. ”
Well, Liu Fei can only say that this is also drunk, but I have to, now Britain's national strength is strong, you know, if you want to strengthen the plundering of the colony, this is not something you can do. There are still some things that Liu Fei needs to wait for Michael to come from the UK to understand, so Liu Fei will stay here for a few times for the time being.
The scene of the people kneeling was seen by Erdan, and Erdan could hear it from the old man's words, those words did not seem to be fake, so it meant that here he would start a new life, although he had not yet gotten off the boat, but he was full of expectations for the future life.
However, what made Erdan a little strange was that the boat they were taking did not enter the port in front, and Erdan, who had been begging for a living in Guangzhou all the year round, knew that the port in front was more beautiful than Guangzhou's, but their ship did not go over, but waited for the prince in front of him to leave, turned in another direction, and stopped at a port a few miles away from the big and beautiful port.
This port is broken and dirty, and there is a smell that does not come out, anyway, it smells bad, and there are not many people below, and here, not far from the dock, there are several big houses, especially big houses, stretching so far away, Erdan doesn't know what is going on inside, but on a boat in front of them, Erdan saw people like him, two teams in a mess walking inside.
On either side of these people, there stood the kind of neat and mighty soldier in colorful clothes, such a soldier Erdan had already seen once, and a place at a transit station on the sea, in Erdan's opinion, such a soldier was too majestic! And he listened to the sailors on the ship, these soldiers had a very high salary every month, and these colorful but extremely handsome looking clothes were also issued free of charge from above, and those muskets!
Erdan was very envious of these soldiers, but he was a little worried, because he was afraid that after he left, the second girl behind him would be bullied by others, although no one here on the ship, Uncle Fu, would bully them.
"Everybody listen to me, and after you get off the boat from here in a while, you have to listen to the people below, understand?! Whatever they tell you to do, do it honestly! Good for all of you! When everyone got off the boat, Fulong explained it in person.
Along the way, everyone can't do without Fulong's care, so everyone listens honestly to Fulong's everything, because they all know that Fulong is a good person.
Erdan was followed by Erya, and the two of them were holding a rag package in their hands, with a tattered dress inside, and there was nothing else.
After getting off the boat, the exit was lined up in two neat rows by the soldiers who were very envious of the second egg, but they had a strange hood on their heads, and everyone exuded an awe-inspiring momentum, which made the people who got off the boat involuntarily frightened, and they didn't even dare to speak loudly, but in the eyes of the second egg, it was extremely majestic.
The line was very long, but the speed of the march was also very fast, and soon Erdan came to several people in white robes, they sat behind two tables, and when they saw these people in white robes, Erdan felt uncomfortable, didn't he wear this white robe when he died? And there is a red cross on his chest, I don't know what it does.
"The man is on the left, the woman is on the right, hurry up!" When he walked up to the few men in white robes sitting behind the desks, one of them kept holding a strange trumpet, but with a loud voice saying the same thing in several dialects.
Erdan naturally understood, but this meant that he was going to be separated from Erya, Erya held Erdan's hand tightly, not daring to let go, Erdan hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and said: "Erya, don't be afraid, Uncle Fu These are good people, you go over there, all are women, give me the things." ”
Under the comfort of Erdanxin, Erya let go of Erdan's hand and walked towards the queue next to him, and the other people's faces were also a little nervous, because they were separated from their relatives, and the team was temporarily divided into two. Soon Erdan walked in front of the middle-aged man in a white robe, and when he saw Erdan, this person smiled and asked, "Can you understand me?" ”
"Yes." Erdan nodded.
"What's your name?"
"Second egg." Erdan came out with his name.
"You're not your name, do you know what your last name is? Is there a last name? The man asked, smiling.
"No, for as long as I can remember, everyone has called me a second egg." Erdan said a little dazedly.
"What do you carry around your neck?" The man saw a black rope on the top of Erdan's neck.
"I've always had it with me." Erdan was immediately a little nervous, because an old beggar once told Erdan that this might be his parents' thing, so Erdan has always been protective, if it wasn't for this time he had to take a big boat to walk a long way, Erdan would not have taken it with him, he had always hidden.
"Haha, guy, don't worry, are you afraid that we won't be able to rob you of your things? No one here is going to take your stuff, show it to us, it should be something left by your parents. The middle-aged man laughed twice and said.
Thinking that Uncle Fu who took care of them in every way on the boat were all good people, and thinking of the scene he saw where the prince was kneeling down by all the people, although Erdan didn't understand it very well, but he knew that these people should be good people, Erdan hesitated for a moment, took off the things on his neck and handed them over.
"Yo, it's still a good piece of jade." The white-robed man looked at it and immediately said in surprise, this is a jade lock, only the size of an adult's thumb, and it is a skilled craftsman who can carve jade into such a lock in these years. Underneath the jade lock, there is a word engraved, Liu.
"Hey, it's still the national surname of our Huaxia Empire, son, if this is what you brought with you, then it was left to you by your parents, and it is engraved with Liu, you should be surnamed Liu, since you don't have a name, can I give you a name?" The white-robed man asked.
