Starting from the waters of China, the fleet of China went south through the Strait of Malacca, then through the Tianzhu Sea, all the way to the Suyinshi Canal to the island.

At this time, most of the northern shores of the Mediterranean were still under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

Unlike another period of history, the Ottoman Empire was not completely dismantled after the First World War due to internal and external troubles.

However, the Osmanian Empire was not broken up into several small states.

At this time, this ancient empire, like the Qing court of the previous dynasty of China, was also galloping on the road to destruction.

But at this time, although the Osman Empire has not yet been divided and disintegrated, it is not far from that moment.

Zhang Zongqing stood on the side of the battleship "Zhiyuan", looking at the sea water in the distance and the sky connecting together, but his thoughts at the moment were thousands.

Since going to sea, the Chinese fleet has shocked the whole world everywhere it goes.

Java, Malay, Luzon, and many other former vassal states of China were all shaken by the huge fleet of China.

Some Chinese people who emigrated abroad in the early years watched the travel of the Chinese fleet along the way, and the cheers and vibrations for a while can be said to be resounding on both sides of the sea and frontier.

A mother country with a strong naval fleet makes all Chinese people proud and proud from the bottom of their hearts.

Along the way, the morale of the Navy soldiers is high!

No wonder during the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He was so keen to go to the West!

Aside from other factors, this feeling of raising the country's prestige outside the region is indeed exciting and refreshing.

However, the situation changed somewhat as the Chinese fleet approached the vicinity of the Osmanian Empire's port through the Suyinz Canal.

Up to now, the envoys sent by Zhang Zongqing to the port of the Osman Empire still have no news.

This is also the reason why Zhang Zongqing's brows are furrowed.

After standing near the side of the boat for a while, Ma Yu took a piece of rice and put it on Zhang Zongqing, "It's windy on the side of the ship, why do you keep standing here?" ”

"There is still a saying that the two countries are at war without cutting envoys, and it is an international practice for warships of various countries to pass through the sea areas controlled by the Ottoman Empire after obtaining consent!"

"The Osmans are no matter how arrogant they are. They didn't dare to do anything with our envoys. ”

Ma Yu naturally knew what her husband was thinking, so she comforted softly.

"Well, of course!"

"If they dare to do anything, I don't mind burying this already decaying dynasty."

Zhang Zongqing said lightly, if others say so, they will definitely not be regarded as anything, but Zhang Zongqing is different.

He has the strength, and of course he has the courage.

And because of something in another period of history, Zhang Zongqing did not like this country that claimed to be a descendant of the Turks and jumped everywhere.

Therefore, if the Osman Empire really provokes Zhang Zongqing, then the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.

Not long after Zhang Zongqing's words fell, Zhou Weiguo, who was a personal guard, ran over quickly with an intelligence document.

"Second son, a telegram document from the Osman Empire!"

Zhou Weiguo's face was very unpleasant, and he seemed to have known some bad news.

Zhang Zongqing took the document in Zhou Weiguo's hand, and after seeing the information on the intelligence document, Zhang Zongqing's face also became iron blue for a while, and his brows slowly wrinkled together.

Seize the envoys!

Extort 10,000 taels of gold for the customs clearance fee of the navy warship!

ridiculed whether the Chinese soldiers still wore long braids, and whether the Chinese warships were assembled from broken copper and iron.

Zhang Zongqing didn't laugh angrily.

Sure enough, it's the Osman in the country and the husky in the dog!

How did such an arrogant country persist until now, and it has not been completely disintegrated and destroyed?

What a strange thing!

Even Zhang Zongqing felt sad and helpless for the ruler of this decadent country.

Do they also want to be like the former dynasty of Huaguo, and they don't even have the courage to open their eyes and see the world?

"Heaven is forgiving! You will not live! ”

Zhang Zongqing looked at the blue sea in the distance, and said in an extremely flat tone.

But even Zhou Weiguo could feel the iron-blooded killing aura under Zhang Zongqing's calm appearance.

This is also the first time Zhou Weiguo has seen such a Zhang Zongqing, wise, strong and extremely domineering.

The spirit of the king!

It's no wonder that so many excellent generals spontaneously become respectful when they mention the second son.

There is also such a second son, who may be able to afford "King Qin sweeps Liuhe, and looks at He Xiong!" Swing your sword to break the clouds, and the princes will come to the west. "Such domineering.

"Since they dare to detain our envoys from China, then we will let them personally kneel and send back our envoys from China."

"Since they have to make us pay 10,000 taels of gold before we can sail through the sea controlled by the Osman Empire, then we will use our warships to smash all the obstacles that dare to block the Chinese warships, and use our cannons to smash the enemy ships that dare to block our Chinese warships."

"Since they asked if our Chinese soldiers had braids, let's drive the warship closer so that this group of wolf cubs who were rushed here by us in the Tang Dynasty can see it clearly."

"It's just that when the time comes, I'll see if they have the guts to let our warship stay here."

Zhang Zongqing smiled coldly, how did the Osman Empire know what a terrible enemy he had provoked at this time.

Khorezm was so stupid that Genghis Khan Temujin was convicted, and tens of millions of people were slaughtered.

So "when the Son of Heaven is angry, the corpse is ambushed for a hundred miles", this is not a joke.

Zhang Zongqing naturally would not slaughter the city and exterminate the clan like Genghis Khan Temujin, but if Zhang Zongqing was annoyed, the Osman Empire would naturally have to pay some price.

"Give me the order, the battleship naval formation is moving forward at full speed and directly through the sea area controlled by the Osman Empire!"

"In the meantime, send me a letter to the king of the Osman Empire, he doesn't want to know if our Chinese soldiers have braids?"

"If he has the guts, he can come and see for himself!"

Zhang Zongqing snorted coldly, from the very beginning, he did not put this decadent, backward and unaware country in his eyes.

If China's naval fleet can't even deal with such a country's navy, then how can there be any talk of revival and rise in the East?

"Yes!"

Zhou Weiguo answered excitedly.

……

Under Zhang Zongqing's order, the battleships "Zhiyuan" and "Dingyuan" braved the wind and waves and quickly advanced in the direction of the sea area controlled by the Osman Empire in the Mediterranean.

The waves were slashed by the giant ship, and the huge cannon muzzle on the warship was like a beast, opening its "bloody mouth" to the sky in the distance.

The large-caliber guns that burst out of the muzzles were enough to completely shred the opponents of the battleships "Zhiyuan" and "Dingyuan".

During the cruise of the two "Great Xia-class" battlecruisers, they cooperated with the battleships "Zhiyuan" and "Dingyuan".

Several light cruisers, the "Lichun", "Guyu", "Jingjing" and "Spring Equinox", also moved forward at a rapid pace.

In addition, the 16 "Exterminator-class" destroyers are even more likely to wrap the battleship group in the most central position, so that the "Exterminator-class" destroyers can join and leave the battlefield as quickly as possible, thus playing a role in interfering with and supporting the entire battle situation.

What's more, in the depths of the seabed, there are still many U-XII deep-water submarines swimming in the depths of the sea, such a huge naval force, even the navy of the hard steel empire that never sets will not necessarily be at a disadvantage.

Now that the Osman Empire has provoked the Chinese Navy, what is the difference between this and looking for death?

Humiliated by this, the Chinese Navy, from generals to ordinary soldiers, breathed a sigh of relief on their chests, and the morale of almost everyone was at a high level.

This is a head-on conflict in which the Chinese Navy is famous overseas and the world does not dare to despise the Chinese Navy.

At the same time, the official of the Osmanian Empire's port administration was very drunk, and he only remembered that he had heard that there were Chinese warships that were going to cross the disputed waters controlled by the Osmans.

Greedily, he detained the communication officials sent by Huaguo.

In addition, this greedy official had the impression that Hua was a backward country that everyone could deceive, and although the situation of the Osman Empire was not very good, he actually looked down on the people of Hua very much, and after reporting the extortion of the Chinese navy to the king of the Osman Empire.

The drunken official waited for a mountain of gold to arrive.

What he didn't expect was that what he was about to wait for would be Huaguo's naval fleet and artillery!
