Although little John. Brian claimed to be the official war emissary, but this was actually entirely his own act of self-inflicted bravery—Xiangjiang was stationed in the Far East Detachment of the Anglia East Tianzhu Fleet, and had not received a specific attack order from the mainland at this time.

But the situation on the Europa continent is tense, and the detachment has indeed received an order to strengthen the monitoring of the Rucian ships before, so since John Jr., who has a close relationship with the bureaucracy in the Far East, is willing to go north alone, there is nothing wrong with sending a power of attorney, but the commander of the detachment, Pelo, scoffs at Little John's statement:

"It is possible that the Pacific fleet of our country will attack Kamchatka", dreaming! You're a businessman better informed than I am? Impossible.

However, it is rumored that the fur resources of John's father and son may come from the North Pacific, and it is understandable that this war will cause panic, and Sanjiang Foreign Company also involves the interests of some Far Eastern bureaucrats, so the power of attorney can be had, but Pei Luo wrote:

"There is John the Righteous Merchants. Brian was commissioned by the Far East Squadron to go to Kamchatka to investigate the military situation and ask for the cooperation of relevant people."

Actually, don't say that Commander Pelo doesn't believe it, little John. Brian also beat a drum in his heart, "Thousands of miles away, the United States sent a message that the Pacific Fleet would definitely attack Kamchatka at the end of August this year", the United States Company knows the British secrets, this is a fool!

However, with Ba Xiali's short-term soaring pearl in front of him, he felt that the shareholders of Xianheng Foreign Company had great powers, and maybe there were any secret channels, so Little John went north in disbelief - if he didn't come, he couldn't do it, and the supply of his foreign company was in the hands of others.

But he knew that the major shareholders behind Zhixiu and Xianheng were unclear and had an extraordinary relationship, so he had to discuss with Zhixiu no matter what, "Everyone is so familiar, you can't watch my good friend give away people's heads." ”

Seeing that little John looked uneasy and stopped talking, Naoxiu hurriedly beckoned him and the five returning international students to return to the house--the stakes were very high, and this matter could not be discussed outside.

Egawa Youngmin followed closely like a little tail, for fear that Nao-su would hide something from him.

But he is not embarrassed, he knows all these people who came back from overseas - 1846-1849, during the period of Naohide's "shipwrecked disappearance", Yingmin visited the Horiya Yashiki many times at the behest of Mr. Tanan, and was very familiar with Murata Yongtoshi, Inako, Xiunian monk, Ryoma, and Otome, and these people also greeted him just now, so Yingmin is not afraid of not being able to understand, we have five interpreters.

When he arrived at the house, Little John couldn't hold back, and he told Naoxiu that he had taken on a task to cheat his father, and this was the case.

Yongmin and the others heard about this for the first time, and they were stupid when they heard it, so Egawa Yingmin didn't know what was going on, so he grabbed Ryoma and asked, "What happened?" Tell this official quickly! ”

His father is a coastal defense hanger, and the shogunate doesn't have a strict secrecy system, and when Mr. Tanan was guiding Yingmin, he told his son a lot of confidential information, so Yingmin is not difficult to understand:

It turned out that last year, that is, in June 1853 in the Western calendar, the Emperor Nicholas I of Lucia sent troops into the two Danube principalities, and in October the Ottoman Empire declared war on Lucia, but the Ottoman was quickly beaten to the head and bloody, and the eldest brother behind the beating stood up at once, so the war began to escalate.

One of the eldest brothers, the Kingdom of England, the most powerful kingdom in the world today, is said to be sending warships to attack Lucia's territory in the North Pacific, and the Mi people who talked to Naohide came for this.

"I understand every word alone, but when it comes together, I don't understand, this white fool wants to take a merchant ship to fight with another fleet, is that what it means?"

Ryoma was in awe of Youngmin, and quickly nodded yes.

"This sea is boundless, how can the two sides connect?"

"Who do you ask me, who do I ask", Ryoma sneered, telling Youngmin, "Now the teacher and that little John are really discussing this." ”

Little John didn't really send people thousands of miles away, his original plan was to take a ship from Xianheng to the port of Kamchatka to wait first, anyway, this is a Mi-flagged cargo ship, Lucia and Mi people are friendly, presumably he will not be embarrassed, as for how to cooperate with the English fleet later, then it can only be done at that time.

At that time, the major shareholder of Xianheng Foreign Bank promised him a lot of benefits in the letter, and this plan seemed quite reasonable at first, and he agreed as soon as his head was hot, but on the way to North Ezo, Little John reacted:

"Although the United States is a neutral country, under normal circumstances, the Lucians and English warships will not attack the cargo ships of the United States, but now it is not the ordinary situation! This plan seems seamless, but it is much more difficult to operate in practice, and it is very dangerous for yourself! ”

Little John wants to retreat from the battle, but Zhixiu is willing to do it, which is related to the life and death of the white lord in the next few years, and must continue to be executed.

To put it mildly, Naoxiu finally made Little John accept a more secure plan, but compared with the original plan, the new plan is not a small risk, so he put forward a condition, that is, after the matter is completed, Little John must find a way to turn Miaotun into an open port.

Saving one's life with the kindness of others, this thing can be done, and little John takes care of it, "Zhixiu, you can rest assured, properly!" ”

Nao-su and Little John are happily haggling there, and Egawa Youngtoshi doubts life on the side:

"What day is today, the secret trade is just that, the next is the students who are forbidden to go to sea, and then the white lord will collude with the English to attack Lucia. I just want to know a little bit about it, but I really didn't want to know so much! ”

But Naoxiu still didn't let him go, and asked him if he wanted to see the big scene.

"If you go, I'll go", Brother Yingmin of the son will not lose if he loses.

Naoxiu smiled wickedly, "Then let's say so." ”

On August 10, 1854, the steam-sailed hybrid cargo ship of Ham Heng Saiko sailed to Kamchatka. Brian's entourage travels.

On August 29, off the coast of the port of Petropavlovsk, the ships finally blocked the combined fleet of Anglo-French warships that came to attack - it was their turn that everyone was afraid of accidents, and Naoxiu, like Little John, did not dare to enter the harbor, for fear of being savagely requisitioned by the Rusians who were about to fight a big war, so they only dared to go around in circles far away.

It wasn't until he saw Jack's joint flag that John Jr. ordered the captain to change the flag, they were all English, and they shouldn't have opened fire as soon as they met.

Thankfully, seeing that the ship was stopped and the sails were lowered, the combined fleet did not embarrass them, and let the leader of the merchant ship go in a small boat to interrogate.

After seeing the appointment document of the Xiangjiang detachment, the English Admiral Plath was overjoyed, he had no information in his hand, his eyes were black, and the arrival of Little John was just a send-off in the snow, and at this time he couldn't take care of the two yellow entourages on the other side, so he hurriedly asked Little John:

"What the hell is the situation in Petropavlovsk?"

In fact, little John didn't know anything about this place, so he had to drag Naoxiu out.

In the past two years, the whaling ships of Xianheng Foreign Company have been operating in the Bering Strait, and they have collected a lot of information privately, which has been passed on to the white master, so Naohide still knows something about Petropavlovsk - this place was established in 1740 by Vithas? Built by Bering, which was later officially granted the status of a town in 1812, it was the largest stronghold of the Lusians in Kamchatka, and the city was founded on

On top of the hill, it is surrounded by volcanoes, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Naohide made a comparison on the simple map he took out, and Egawa Youngmin couldn't understand English, so he had to make an unfathomable gesture on the side.

Seeing that Admiral Yingyi first frowned, and then became angry, his careful liver trembled up and down, and finally Zhixiu didn't know what to say, and the other party turned his anger into joy, and he was relieved.

In fact, Zhixiu just said that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, don't be reckless, he said this with a yellow skin, of course it was not pleasant, and he was almost kicked out on the spot.

However, Zhixiu was quick to speak, he said that he could provide supplies, and Little John also patted his chest on the side as a guarantee, Admiral Plass turned his anger into joy, in fact, what he was most worried about was not intelligence but supplies - the joint combat fleet had a total of 7 warships, including 3 cruisers, 1 steam cruiser, 1 light cruiser, 1 two-masted sailing ship and 1 steamboat, which can indeed be called a behemoth, but this daily consumption is not old and young.

"The first batch of supplies is on the ship I brought", Little John's knife is well repaired, proving that Naoxiu is indeed not lying, but at this time, Admiral Plus finally became interested in Naoxiu's identity:

"Who is this?"

"The Maritime Chieftain of the North Pacific."

Plath understood as soon as he heard it, and the pirate was a pirate, and he said it straight, what a circle!

However, his mission is to fight the North Pacific territory of the Lucians, and it doesn't matter to him whether Naohide is a pirate or not, as long as he can help, it's good.

"What are you discussing, why don't you hurry into Avacha Bay?"

The Admiral of the French Navy who rushed to hear the news was full of anger, he didn't know what the English were doing in private, what was he doing slowly, chasing a Lucian Aurora for five months, from Peru in the south to Kamchatka, which was also called a war! And "the invincible royal sailor who crisscrossed the seas", I bah!

"No wonder you will be defeated and lost this time, this internal contradiction is too obvious."

But before Naoxiu finished complaining silently, Admiral Francy also turned his anger into joy - Little John They didn't go on the boat empty-handed, they brought three baskets of watermelons, which were cut and sent up at this time, and Admiral Francy couldn't care about getting angry, he beckoned his subordinates to rush up and eat.

"Robber!" Admiral Plath scolded and began to rob - if you don't rob, you can't do it, and it's gone.

I haven't eaten fresh fruit for months, and now the sweet watermelon is in front of me, don't talk about any demeanor, after all, the French are not polite.

After everyone ate the watermelon, the atmosphere was very good for a while, especially when I thought that there was still a boat of supplies, and there were still watermelons, the two admirals smiled, and the past grievances went with it - the supplies were for the English merchants, and if the French admiral wanted a piece of the pie, he would not be able to breathe in a low voice, but it was inevitable to say two soft words.

"Powerful Maritime Merchant", knowing that the supplies were all provided by Naoxiu, the two admirals gave him a title.

Naoxiu didn't pay much attention to it, this group of white people "face forward when they use people, and face backward when they don't use people", believe it or not, after the battle, people turn around and don't know you.

At Naohide's suggestion, the combined fleet drew up a plan to "attack the ports first, and then consider landing operations", preparing to attack the four major ports of Lusia in turn, namely Petropavlovsk, Okhotsk, Ayan and Nikolaevsk - if there were sufficient supplies, the two admirals really did not take Lucia's sailors seriously.

Egawa Youngmin's mouth opened wide on the side, and he almost lost his fake beard, but after Naoxiu communicated with him, Youngmin's heart was ecstatic, "This Rusya's career in the north looks like it's going to be uprooted!" ”
