There is no shipyard in Karlburg, let alone shipbuilding, and even ship repair is a problem, which is too intolerable for Hong Tao, who has a foothold in the navy. Actually, it was possible to replace the mast on the ship, but he wanted to leave Carl a more comprehensive base, so a large amount of stone and volcanic ash was transported to the side of the small pier, where Hong Tao wanted to build a ramp for Carl to pull the ship ashore from the sea, so that the remaining shipbuilders could repair the ship. If there is enough wood, they can also build some small ships like the Explorer, don't think about the big ships, this kind of design ability is strictly controlled even in Jinhe Bay, only the master craftsmen in the shipyard can get the zoning drawings, and the overall planning and adjustment must be completed by Wen Lao Er and a few of them. Especially the design and construction of the warship, that is the guy on whom Jinhewan depends, all the design drawings are kept by the old man Bofu, if he is not insured, then there will be no insured people in Jinhewan.

In April, Friedrich II came to visit his dear cousin, a great emperor, who had only five sailing ships of his own, two of which had been captured in the port of Rena. The Emperor will be accompanied by three clergy who will build churches and parishes in Karl's fiefdom, which are an integral part of any European noble fiefdom. In order to prevent the Pope's hand from reaching into his cousin's fiefdom, the priests brought by the Emperor were cronies drawn from the church of his own palace. At this point, Hong Tao felt that the emperor was still quite righteous, just because Carl's family was good to him when he was young and had helped him, so he always regarded Carl as his own brother.

Mr. Hung ...... How is my Chinese? This is what Mrs. Jiang told me. She said you prefer to be called sir. It is said that this title has the meaning of erudition in the Great Song Empire. "As soon as we met. Before he could get down to business, Friedrich II and Hong Tao showed off his Chinese level, not to mention, it took a few months to say this, and the emperor was indeed a genius in terms of language.

"Then I'll call you William, just like Carl. What do you think of Carl's castle, I designed it. In order to satisfy the emperor's petty vanity, Hong Tao also switched to talking to him in Chinese. But slow down, or he won't understand.

"It's just like you, it smells of the devil...... "The emperor didn't think highly of the castle's design style, and also associated it with Hong Tao's personal style.

"So incisive! The Berbers across the strait said the same thing, and it seems that it will be difficult for me to turn over. Fortunately, I am not a Christian, let alone a Ara, and neither angels nor demons mean anything to me. Hong Tao stretched out his thumb and approved the emperor's statement. If he had to choose, he would rather be a devil than an angel, because angels have too many responsibilities. You are responsible for everyone, and the devil only needs to be responsible for yourself.

"I've brought two things to Carl as well. It was his new coat and the papal gift, and the Count of the East ...... "In addition to the three clergy, the emperor brought two gifts to Karl, an earl's coat embroidered by the empress herself, and an edict from the pope."

"Your Pope is insidious, and his name smacks of intrigue. The Earl of the East, it is better to simply call the Pagan Earl. When Hong Tao heard Karl's title, he immediately felt that something was wrong. This title is so special and inflammatory, and it is a constant reminder that Karl is not very recognized by Christendom.

"Leave him alone, he won't stay in Rome for long, and when I completely rule the Lombards, he will have to get out of Rome, and no other country will be allowed to exist in my empire, and the Papal States will not be made!" When it came to dealing with the pope, the emperor never hid the hatred in his heart.

"There is a proverb on our side that calls the Son of Heaven to order the princes, that is, to control the emperor in his own hands and use his prestige to influence the other princes. In fact, trapping the pope in Rome is not harmful to the empire, and maybe it will be beneficial. Hong Tao understood Friedrich II's hatred of the Pope, but did not approve of his approach. If he is a nobleman, he can do it freely, but if he is an emperor, he should not be so willful. For the sake of a pope and the whole Christian world, there are many soft knives that can sharpen the pope to ********, so why not use the most extreme and uneconomical way.

"Mr. Hong is more suitable to be emperor than me, Karl has always said that you don't like this position, I don't think he knows you completely. Last time we went to Re \ Na \ Ya, the two of us made an agreement on the ship, I don't know if there is a chance to achieve it now? Friedrich II seemed to have something on his mind, and his words were always fluctuating, and Hong Tao didn't know what he was going to say, so he could only play in circles with him. In the end, the emperor couldn't help it and reminded him in a whisper.

"A promise on board? …… Oh, you mean the autopsy? Hong Tao made the emperor stunned, he didn't remember any other agreements with the emperor. After glancing at the emperor's sneaky appearance, he realized that he was still thinking about it.

"I brought in two Dr. A'l'Ab from Federik University, and they were also very interested in this matter." The emperor was already a little gearing up, staring at Hong Tao's eyes for fear that Hong Tao would refuse.

"No problem, but we can't do it here, there are so many people here that it's easy to be spotted. Why don't we go to sea by boat, and I'll take your majesty to the land of the Normans. Your Majesty must also be a descendant of the Normans, right? Hong Tao rolled his eyes and thought about it, there were corpses, and there would be slaves on the construction site almost every two days for various reasons. But the dissection here is a bit inappropriate, and I just want to go around Northern Europe before I go home, mainly to improve the charts, it is better to take Friedrich II with me, and two months back and forth is enough.

"I'm afraid that the Vikings don't welcome my descendants, they are also devilish beings on the sea, will they be in danger?" Friedrich II was clearly moved, but was a little worried about his own safety.

"Don't worry, I value life more than anyone else, you can ask Carl how timid I am, and if I say I can go, there will be no danger. As for the Viking ships, that's just a legend, and I'm afraid they didn't work as well as the hot schooners. Don't forget, I'm also a king, and I won't do anything too dangerous. "Hong Tao is also idle and has nothing to do, he can't help with the work of building ramps and changing masts, his ability is limited to moving his mouth, if he really wants to let him work with tools, it is not as good as a slave. It's too boring to go to sea by yourself, Carl and Huang Ya can't leave, Luo Youde and Jiang Zhuyi are far away in Rena, and there is no one to chat with. When I met this Kaiser William, he happened to be a person who was bored, and he resolutely couldn't let it go!

There are not many people who can refuse Hong Tao's strong invitation, and Friedrich II finally did not resist Hong Tao's temptation from all sides, and even the iceberg was made out, for a person who grew up in a large bath in the Mediterranean, he really looked forward to taking a look. And this emperor was a person with a strong desire for knowledge, and he was both suspicious and yearning for the Arctic Ocean that Hong Tao said, so he became Hong Tao's prisoner, left the royal guards, secretly left a letter for Carl, and took two bearded old men on the Jinhe and slipped out of the harbor at night.

This night, Hong Tao basically didn't sleep much, and was urged by Kaiser Wilhelm to prepare the dissecting table and dissection tools in the bottom cabin. Because this thing was too scary, Hong Tao didn't want to be known by too many crews, so he did most of the work by himself, and he sharpened the knife for half a night, and was so tired that he was like his grandson, so he slept directly on the planing table. When I woke up the next day, I saw Kaiser Wilhelm's blue eyes staring at him less than a foot above his head, and he was holding a sharpened knife in his hand, as if he was about to cut it.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just using you to familiarize myself with the feeling of being familiar with the knife, and since you occupy this big table, I can't bear to wake you up, so I've been delayed a lot of time." Seeing that Hong Tao opened his eyes and looked at himself with a very strange eye, Kaiser Wilhelm also felt that his posture did not seem to be very friendly, and quickly defended himself.

"Play by yourself, I'll go back and catch up on my sleep. Just two corpses, save it, don't waste it! Hong Tao felt that the emperor's spirit must not be normal, and he was more excited to see the dead than the living. The two old men were not normal people, they were actually bathing the dead, and they were washing so carefully, as if they were going to stew and eat meat for a while. and these three pieces of stuff in the bilge, Hong Tao is extremely unhappy, let's let them play by themselves, don't mix the matter of medicine yourself.

When it was time for lunch, Hong Tao didn't see the three people coming up, so he personally went down to ask them to eat, but the three of them ate quite deliciously, but Hong Tao himself couldn't eat anything. The compartment in the bilge, which was used as a dissection, was almost a hell on earth, and after the three of them had dismantled a corpse into eight pieces, they hung each part with a rope and hung it all over the room like bacon. In their words, these are all different parts that must be carefully looked at piece by piece. Because the oil lamps on the Hong Tao boat were too bright and the working conditions were so good, such a rare opportunity could not be wasted, not only to take notes but also to draw, and to invite Hong Tao to go down to share their experience.
