560. The Wrath Queen
I never thought that a country's navy could progress so quickly.
If there is, then it must be the French Navy in front of you! In just a few months, they formed a naval force that had always seemed to be relatively formidable, based on the ragtag army of medium-sized ships in the past.
I don't know what motivates them to work so hard, but I know very well that they did it, and they did it well.
Listening to the twelve cannons fired by the students in accordance with the rules of the salute, my heart was extremely excited. These children know who brought them all this glory!
Yes, it was Henry who decided to give them glory, and it was I who really brought them that.
This recognition and realization is a two-way street, in other words, we have achieved a win-win situation through cooperation, and this should be the highest level of mutual trust in life.
As my fleet approached theirs, the cadets drove their ships back to both sides, forming a very classic fish-scale formation.
These kids are showing off their skills to me! It's okay, young people, you should have such energy.
As I marched through the fleets on both sides of the strait, I felt an irrepressible excitement in my heart. These are the fruits of my heart's work, and one day, I will become the most powerful sea power!
However, this world is always full of joys and sorrows, and just after I sent to the port, when I came to the stronghold of the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce, where the name of the American Chamber of Commerce is hung, Lakshin who came out of it gave me a piece of news that gave me a headache.
Queen Elizabeth I, the Queen of England, furious to learn of the great progress made by the French Navy, openly declared at a meeting that my actions were "theft", a "desecration" of the sacred rights and interests of the British Empire, and a "betrayal"!
All in all, she was angry and asked someone to bring me a message - to get to London as fast as possible, or else......
Listening to Lakshin's relays, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, what did this old woman think of me? Is it a little white face that comes and goes when it is called?
Or is it her servant, or some other minor character who has to bow down to her words alone?
After dating for so long, it seems that she still doesn't understand me!
Seeing that things had come to this point, I didn't have much to say, so I went to Henry as soon as I could, and told him that I was going to go out.
"It's best not to get into trouble with her, after all, it's a woman, and she will do anything to retaliate." Henry advised me. Of course, he also knew very well that I was going to fight with Elizabeth I in order to help him, at least this was the main reason, so he also patted my arm and said another sentence:
"Of course, even if she really can't get along with you, we are not afraid of her, so let's just test the quality of the navy you train! If you don't fight, how can the team grow? ”
Hearing this, my heart warmed, but I patted Henry's arm and replied: "Thank you, my friend, but I have no intention of going to England now, and I must go to the Netherlands now." ”
Henry was silent when he heard my words, and after thinking for a long time, he muttered in a low voice: "I thought I was stubborn, but now I know that you are a hundred times more stubborn than me!" But I can't persuade you, if I were you, I would choose the same way! ”
Listening to my friend's warm words, I didn't know what to say. Anyone, sometimes it's actually very simple, they say that the world is complicated, but as long as their hearts are pure, how many complicated flies and dogs are in it?
So I didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately asked people to prepare their warships and prepare them to set off for the North Sea at any time!
But before that, I must spare two days to spend well with my babies, Peith and Tingyuan are almost 100 days old, and I haven't hugged them properly!
This has to be said to be my father's regret, and it is also where I don't do enough.
But I have no regrets in my heart, because everything their father does is fighting for a better future for them.
So although I can't be with them all the time, my heart is always with them.
When I entered the inner courtyard, the female Shinobi in charge of the defense immediately took me to where they were, and when I entered, Lan was breastfeeding Pei Si, and the garden was already full, and was sleeping with Hua Mei holding her head.
When they saw me come in, the eyes of several people lit up and radiated excitement! But when he looked at the child in his hand, he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the baby's dream.
"You're back! Mr! The kite who was carrying the basin next to her whispered, and she immediately put down what she was doing and poured me a cup of hot tea. He stood next to me and looked at me deeply a few times before someone went to change the hot water for the children.
"Qilan, look, the little guy is laughing!" Hua Mei hugged Ting Yuan in front of me and said softly: "This little guy is very good at eating, more than her brother, and much more naughty." ”
I lightly tapped the little guy's face and chuckled, "Naughty is good! My child, you can't be a stuffy gourd! ”
"Don't move your child's face!" Hua Mei whispered: "It's going to drool!" ”
I could only withdraw my hand and giggle. Instead, Lan gently let go of Pei Si, who was asleep with milk, and said with a low smile: "It's okay to touch it lightly!" ”
"Yes, yes! It's okay to touch it lightly. I smiled and followed.
"Who said it's okay! Children should be well cared for! "Hua Mei, who is not her own mother, is more worried than her own mother, and I can only show a polite but embarrassed smile.
"That's right! Qilan. Seeing that I was deflated, Hua Mei showed a smile that had succeeded in her treacherous plan, and then retracted herself, gently put down the child, and asked me with a worried face: "I have received news that the British side is said to be very dissatisfied with what we are doing here, as if the old woman is recruiting you!" ”
It seems that Hua Mei did not have a good impression of Elizabeth I at all, and directly replaced her with an old woman.
I couldn't help but smile, gently took Hua Mei's hand, put it in the palm of my hand and patted it gently: "Don't worry, it's okay." The old woman you are talking about is only thundering loudly and raining little, and she doesn't dare to really do anything to me. ”
"Why are you so confident?" Hua Mei was still frowning: "I heard that she has said cruel things of varying degrees on many occasions, and she seems to be very angry!" ”
The kite brought me a cup of tea and said softly, "It should be, sir, you must not be underestimated." Especially women, who are very jealous, don't be careless about Jingzhou. ”
I took the tea and sipped it gently, but didn't speak.
I can't say that I'm actually very worried in my heart, but I'm pretending to be relaxed so that you don't worry.
As if seeing the uneasiness in my heart, Hua Mei held my hand and said, "Don't worry, Qilan, in fact, the matter is not that serious, and besides, we are all with you!" ”
After speaking, he added: "If you want to go to England, I will accompany you!" ”
The emotion in my heart is simply incomprehensible, to have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for! But I still refused: "The two little ones need someone to take care of them, you can stay in France to take care of the baby, I will go back!" ”
Hua Mei shook her head and said in a low voice: "Kite and Lan are here, I can go away." Even if you can go home every day and have a hot meal that you can eat, it's good, right? ”
I shook my head and smiled, "I know, but I still think I'd be better off." If something happens, it's easier for me to get out. ”
Hua Mei was suddenly unhappy, pinched the back of my hand and said, "What? Are you afraid I'm holding you back? ”
I hurriedly said, "No, no, no!" Isn't that worrying you? ”
Hearing our argument, Kite quietly came over and sat down beside me, and said in a low voice, "Sister Huamei, I'd better go!" After all, I came from a martial arts background, and my kung fu of escaping is better, so I am more relieved that you stay and take care of Sister Lan. ”
When I heard this, I just said that things are going to happen, how can this be compared? Who knew that things were not as I thought, Hua Mei was not moved at all, but frowned and said: "Actually, I also know that we can only become a burden when we go, but I don't want to go to meet hard, but to give Qilan some support on the occasion and find a way to resolve the problem in front." ”
Speaking of which, the kite had nothing to say. When it comes to negotiating and dredging on the scene, the ten kites and Lan together are not Huamei's opponents. Think about it again, if it really comes time to escape, what difference does it make if there is one more of her and one less of her?
So the kite was relieved, looked at me with burning eyes, and then looked at Hua Mei, and then said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, then you should be careful." I'm waiting for you to come back! ”
Arashi just hugged the child and looked at me without speaking. I know she wants to go too, but the babies are here, and she, as a mother, takes care of the baby, which is actually the biggest support for me.
Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, I convened an urgent meeting of the relevant personnel to study the trip to the UK.
Everyone, including Adicon, Lakshin, and Mo, had their own opinions, and I adopted them without mentioning them.
Surprisingly, Charlie and Halleha also jumped up, and they also broke new ground - according to the drawings I drew a long time ago, they made the latest achievements in the loading of artillery!
I was pleasantly surprised by this!
The artillery of this era is limited by the limitations of steelmaking technology and pharmaceutical technology, and it is really difficult to make improvements in ammunition and guns. But it is feasible to do it technically, after all, physical things are always easier to achieve than chemical things.
And the two of them also designed a semi-automatic loader with the characteristics of the times in accordance with the concept of "automatic loader" that I put forward at the beginning!
Semi-automatic, too! I laughed out loud when I heard the news, and if I could mass-produce this creative product on a small scale and equip it on several elite ships before I went to the UK, it would be a huge boost to my trip to the UK!
This is the real technology that changes life, and technology changes tactics. I mean, if this technology can really be realized, it will be a qualitative leap forward for the strength of my fleet!
And I really have the hard power to talk to Elizabeth I head-on.
So I didn't hesitate to go to their lab with Charlie and Halleha as soon as possible, and saw the new artillery and loader covered with red cloth and covered with butter!
Technological revolutions and miracles, will they really happen?
