Chapter 075: The Queen's Ambition

readx;?“ If you can't drive, you can run more than 3,000 kilometers when the wind direction is good, and you can't run 2,000 kilometers when the wind direction is bad. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info This time it was not only one ship, but also four transport ships that specially carried coal and water to follow, all the way to the road. However, its speed is not bad, it can run seven knots when the wind is not right, it is best used for long-distance transportation, and it is not ambiguous to fight, but the draft is a little deep. This time it's not just a test, it's run twice in the Victory Islands, and it's basically fine. We are here to give you a gift, and we wanted to arrive before the Spring Festival, but when we arrived at Midway, there was a small problem, and it was repaired for several days, which delayed the time. America, bring our Uncle Luo with you and take a look at our gifts. Wen Xiaoqi briefly introduced the performance of the ship to Hong Tao, and then pulled Hong Tao to the bow of the boat, and called Luo Youde and Luo Meimei, who were reuniting with father and son.

"What is this?" Behind the first mast was an open cargo compartment, and when the hatch was opened, many wooden boxes appeared underneath, large and small, piling up the entire cargo compartment, and there could be hundreds.

"Parts of a steam engine?" Hong Tao looked inside a few times and found a big bulging guy wrapped in hemp rope, and he had a bottom in his heart.

"Hey, hey, hey...... These are the ones that Uncle Qi gave you, and he got the train you talked about out, and is laying the tracks in Swan's country. But it doesn't have my big ship to hold anything, and it can't go wherever it wants, and it's a waste without rails. There were also two sets of steam engines in the aft cabin, both for the boat, which were smaller than this one. That's my gift to you, you take it back and put it in a smaller boat, and put it on the sails, and when you want to go back to us, you don't have to wait for the monsoon, you can go whenever you want. To give you this chart, don't go directly to Midway, the salamander has a new route in the north, along these islands you can go all the way back to our canal entrance, although the road is a bit far, but along the way we have built supply stations at these points, there is coal and water, don't worry about no place to supply. Wen Xiaoqi was dismissive of Qi Zu's gift, but praised his own gift, and took out a chart and handed it to Hong Tao.

"This girl can't be idle, it seems that I'm really old, I used to draw charts for you, and now it's my daughter's turn to draw charts for me. I said America, your father holds a leper dog as a grandson every day, when will you two add a real grandson to your father? Hong Tao glanced at the chart, well, Hong Salamander poked out Hokkaido, Sakhalin, Kamchatka Peninsula, and the Aleutian Islands, and there was a small red dot every 1,000 kilometers or so, which was probably a supply station.

In addition to allowing North American steamships to cross the Pacific Ocean, these supply depots are probably a way back for themselves. Touched, Hong Tao felt that he was not tossed in vain, there were so many people who spared no expense to help him figure out the way back, and he did not cross in vain in this life, and he didn't lose anything in the end.

"Don't worry about it, your daughter already has it in her belly, or she won't follow her! In half a year, you will be able to be a grandfather, and I will be a grandfather, hahahaha...... "Luo Youdemei, although he has not yet hugged his grandson or granddaughter, he already has hope."

"I don't care if I'm not a grandfather, these big guys in the cabin are much better than my grandson. These things can't be unloaded here, and no one else can know what they are. Now that the Great Song Dynasty is full of people from the Imperial Supervision Department, let's go to Tangshan Port first. Xiao Qi, hurry up and start the boat, it's not safe here, let the Royal Navy patrol ship run into it, although they don't dare to go on the ship to check, but seeing your ship is a big trouble. Hurry up, you can't take a fixed route yet, I'll be a navigator for you, and talk about what you have to say while walking. "Hong Tao is like that for children, one more is not more, one less is not less, and it is not enough. But he cares very much about the steam engine, this thing can't let the Jinhe Empire know for the time being, although the Great Song Dynasty and the Jinhe Empire will definitely merge in the future, but they can't negotiate empty-handed, and they have to be a bit hard in their hands. These big machines are the hole cards in their own hands, and they are also the capital for negotiation, and they must be kept secret.

The Spring Soyuz quickly left the waters of the Lisi Islands, avoided commercial routes, and headed first toward the Korean Peninsula, then turned around and headed north, sticking to the side of the Korean Peninsula and burrowing into the Bohai Bay.

Hong Tao hardly showed up on the way, and even the meal was carried by Ariana to Jiang Zhuyi's cabin. Everyone is used to his style of emphasizing color and ignoring friends. As for what he, Jiang Zhuyi, and Ariana were hiding in the cabin, this is not a lice on the bald head, something obvious.

Jiang Zhuyi really didn't have to come to Hong Tao because he couldn't get along in Europe, since Aya gave birth to a baby boy, Aya's husband's family was suddenly robbed by a gang of bandits, and none of the more than 20 members of the family were spared, and even the castle was burned to the ground. Only Aya and her children escaped the disaster by going to the University of Naples to get vaccinated, so Aya's son became the only heir in the family, and then Jiang Zhuyi became the actual controller of this territory, and then her country was formed, which was bigger than Switzerland in later generations.

As for who did the tragedy in Aya's husband's house, the murderer has never been caught, and Jiang Zhuyi also deliberately took out a huge reward to reward these murderers, but unfortunately these people are like evaporating from the world, coming and going without a trace, quietly coming, letting and then leaving gently, leaving no cloud.

"It's the guy Swan found for you, right? He not only has Indian soldiers in his hands, but also many slaves taken from Europe, and it is estimated that those slaves have also become soldiers under him over the years, find dozens of European-looking people to mix in from Re \ Na \ Ya Harbor under your cover, kill people and then return from the same way, as long as you get on the ship, no one can find it. After listening to Jiang Zhuyi's narration, Hong Tao didn't have to think hard, he probably guessed who directed the tragedy, who was the main actor, and who was the supporting role.

"Oh, don't make it so clear, then everyone will be a little embarrassed. But you guessed wrong, I have nothing to say to Swan's wooden head, these people were found for me by Weng Ya, she is forming a separate Marine Corps with Swan, do you think Swan robbed her? Jiang Zhuyi didn't feel exposed at all, and smiled very innocently. In fact, this is not a secret, when Aya married into the baronial family, Hong Tao guessed what she was going to do, but he didn't expect her to be so vicious.

"The! He should have run into a tigress like Weng Ya, and a wilted and wilted mercy had a bad idea in the back. This stupid boy was tricked by his good friend, and those two are not good goods! Hong Tao couldn't help but applaud when he heard that Swan was deflated, and at the same time he didn't forget to squeeze the two sentences of the compassionate couple, none of these pieces of material were worry-free, and there was a headache for Martini.

The war continued on the Iberian Peninsula, and although the European coalition withstood the Berber offensive and stabilized the front south of the Pyrenees, it was not so easy to drive these fanatical religious followers back. The last time the two sides fought, the Berbers held a crossbow that could pierce through the knight's armor, but this time it was changed to an iron ball that exploded when thrown. With this weapon, the Berbers always occupied the initiative in the local battlefield, but because they were not familiar with the terrain and climate of the Pyrenees, they never continued to advance north.

Karl and William were particularly prominent in this war, and together they held a large area on the eastern coast of the Kingdom of Aragon and withstood the Berber attack. It is also the only European territory on the Iberian Peninsula, and the Pyrenees would not have been able to stop them from moving north without the fact that the Berbers had not been able to contain their energy from the side.

At this time, Friedrich II had become the only emperor in Europe, and the emperor's rights that he had not fought for most of his life were now basically all in his hands. Most of the nobles in the northern kingdom of Germany stopped making trouble with him, and convinced themselves to acknowledge the imperial power and swore allegiance to the emperor.
