Chapter Fifty-Eight: Madang Town

Thank you: Through Time and Space:, Regent, Suyi Qiandie three book friends for their tipping support!

While Germany was deliberating on how to get powerful warships, so did Britain. The content of the discussion between the two sides is similar, and it is estimated that this mysterious force is the descendants of the Ming people who escaped back then. Britain also did not want to go to war with this group of Ming people, because the British learned that this group of Ming people had 30 warships with a displacement of about 30,000 tons, about 30 cruisers with a displacement of about 10,000 tons, and countless destroyers.

Obviously, the warships of the British Empire have fallen behind, and with the current strength of the British navy, it is obviously very unwise to go to war with this group of Ming people.

Therefore, the British also wanted to get the drawings of this battleship at the minimum cost, and even wanted to get the finished product of this battleship. On the same day, the British Prime Minister sent Field Marshal Donald, the Supreme Commander of the British Navy, to the islands of Papua in the South Sea.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Sun Hao was about to give the order to set off, but saw Donakin with two soldiers carrying a large box to the battleship Zheng He.

Donakin came to Sun Hao and said with a smile: "Hello Commander-in-Chief Sun, I don't have any gifts for you, so I'll give you an oriental antique and a hundred Cuban cigars!" ”

"Thank you! Thank you very much Colonel Donakin! Sun Hao pretended to be very happy and said.

Wang Xiaoshan and Wang Xiaohai, who were standing on the side, took the big wooden box and put it on the deck.

However, Sun Hao thought that he didn't have any gifts to give back to Donakin, and saw that he was carrying a gold-plated watch in his hand, so he took it down and handed it to Donakin, and then said with a smile: "This commander really has no gift to give back to His Excellency the Colonel, so I have to give you this watch that he carries with him, please don't dislike it!" "This watch was given to Sun Hao by Li Gang, and with the technology of future generations, the workmanship of this watch is absolutely beautiful and exquisite.

Donakin took the gold-plated watch with both hands and said thank you. Donakin has never seen a watch at all, although pocket watches in Europe have been very popular, but watches worn on the hand like this have not yet been invented, even if some aristocratic relatives have ordered some watches, but the craftsmanship and style cannot be compared with this watch.

This watch is not only gold-plated, but also engraved with a "grandson", and the craftsmanship is even more exquisite, and it has reached an indescribable range. Donakin looked at his watch, and his heart blossomed with joy.

It wasn't until decades later, when Sun Hao became the most powerful person in the world, Donakin often took this watch to show off everywhere, and when he met people, he said that he owned a watch that Sun Hao had carried, which was personally given to him by Generalissimo Sun Hao.

There were countless wealthy people who spent a lot of money to get this watch, but Donakin just wouldn't sell it, and it wasn't until after Donakin's death that his son donated the watch to the Royal Museum. But that's all for later.

After Donakin left, the Second Fleet sounded, the chimneys of the battleships of the Second Fleet began to emit thick black smoke, and dozens of battleships slowly started and left Fields Town.

Williamt watched the Second Fleet leave with a look of longing, wishing that the British Empire would soon have such a powerful warship, and even more eager to command such a powerful fleet in his life.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, Sun Hao has left." Donald Kim raised his wrist to show the gold watch Sun Hao had given him.

"I know, I wonder when our British Empire will have such powerful warships?" Williamt didn't care about the gold watch, but was very eager to command such a large fleet one day.

"Soon, my friend, I'm sure those old guys in Congress aren't stupid, they're going to make wise choices."

"Yes! Our British Empire guards this island with no economic value, and it is not completely occupied, so there is really no need to conflict with Sun Hao, even if we use a small piece of the colony to return the blueprints of this warship, our British Empire is still very worthy. ”

"Yes! You're right, our British Empire has countless colonies, covering more than 40 million square kilometers, and those old guys in Congress will never fight with Sun Hao for this colony, which is not in the interests of our British Empire. ”

"I hope so!"

"My friend, do you think the Germans will withdraw from the islands of Papua?"

"I guess they will, the German navy is not the opponent of Sun Hao's naval fleet at all, but Sun Hao will definitely pay a certain price, otherwise the greedy Kaiser will definitely not let go."

Hahaha! Donakin laughed when he heard this, and then said: "My friend, I really hope to see if the powerful German Army can resist the attack of Sun Hao's 600,000 troops, and even more hope that they can fight." ”

Hahaha! Both burst out laughing. If Sun Hao really fought with Germany, it would also be in the interests of the British Empire. Whether it's Donakin or Williamt, both of them think so.

"Your Excellency Colonel, do you guess how Sun Hao will deal with the Kingdom of the Netherlands?"

"Well, that damn old woman, who rules such a small country and wants to occupy so many islands in the South Seas, they don't deserve so many colonies. I guess Sun Hao will give them a warning, if the old woman doesn't know how to advance and retreat, Sun Hao will definitely run over directly. ”

"Your Excellency Colonel, Sun Hao has the strength to completely seize the colonies of the Dutch Kingdom in the South Seas, but we can't let him do so, otherwise Sun Hao will occupy all the islands in the South Seas, which will be very detrimental to the interests of our British Empire in the South Seas, and will even threaten the Strait of Malacca, the choke point to Asia, and even threaten the interests of our Australia."

"That's right! Right! Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel has analyzed well, and I will report this information to my uncle. ”

Sun Hao didn't know that Donakin and Williamt were talking about himself at the Hong Kong import, thinking that he would go back to see the Germans immediately, what benefits did he exchange with them? Germany had few colonies, and it was impossible for them to let go of the islands of Papua.

If it was a direct war, Sun Hao was very confident that he would wipe out all the German navy or the army stationed on the islands of Papua by force, but this was not the result Sun Hao wanted.

If the two sides went to war and wiped out the German navy, what would Germany use to challenge Britain during World War I? Without a strong navy, the Germans simply did not have the confidence to challenge the British.

Navy? Hahaha! Sun Hao stood on the bridge and laughed. Germany needed a navy, so he would give them the navy's battleship blueprints, and give them battle cruisers, and even help them build battleships and battle cruisers.

The German army is very strong, but their navy is a short board, the development is not satisfactory, if they help them build more than 10 to 20 warships, then the German naval strength will be greatly increased, and when the time comes, it is impossible to say who will die with the British.

Three days later, the Second Fleet reached the waters of Madang, a town built by the German colony on the islands of Papua.

Germany has very few colonies, so it attaches great importance to the construction of Madang, and after several years of construction and development, Madang has become a small town with more than 80,000 people.
