The mutual prevarication between the Earl of Cambenin, the Governor of the Egyptian colony of the British Empire, and the Duke of Macrein and the commander of Pahel's fleet, and the usual sluggish response of the London side, made it only in late March and early April that the London side gave a few proposals.

Or more appropriately, a couple of options, it can be said that London does not believe in the side of the Mediterranean Fleet at all, if even pirates can have several capital ships of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, then the meaning and value of the existence of the Mediterranean Fleet needs to be reconsidered.

It seems probable to London that the Governor of Cambenin, the Duke of Maclane, and Commander Pahel jointly promoted and directed the incident, and in anticipation of the second successive transfer of ships from the Mediterranean Fleet to the Far East Fleet last year, they exaggerated the threat of piracy and intended to force London to strengthen the Mediterranean Fleet.

However, the Mediterranean Fleet has always been in an extremely awkward position in the overall layout of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, at this time the British Empire's shipbuilding has been unable to keep up with the pace of expansion, and the unplanned and wanton expansion has made the military expenditure of the entire empire account for as much as forty percent of the total tax revenue of the empire, which is already an extremely dangerous proportion.

However, it must be said that it has been 16 years since she ascended the throne, and the reign of the 34-year-old Queen Victoria was the most successful period of Britain's successful foreign expansion.

Queen Victoria's name, symbolizing an era! During Victoria's reign, the British people were united like never before, and Britain became a powerful empire that continued to grow. In the Victorian era, although Britain was a constitutional monarchy, Queen Victoria still had a lot of influence on her ministers. During her reign, the British Empire expanded to unprecedented prosperity, and the First Opium War, which deeply affected Chinese history, took place shortly after her accession to the throne.

In order to maintain the increasing military spending, Queen Victoria had to constantly expand the colonies of the British Empire, and then most of the income went into the pockets of the nobles and merchants.

The Mediterranean Sea has been regarded as an inland lake by the British Empire, which has the most powerful navy in the world, and the fleets of the Royal Navy of the British Empire are needed to proclaim absolute force from the Far East to Africa and all parts of Europe.

The quarrel between the Governor of Cambenin, the Duke of Maclanene, and the commander of Pahel's fleet on the one hand, and the London side eventually caught the attention of Queen Victoria, who could hardly have imagined that her royal fleet would allow a brazen pirate to run rampant.

To deal with pirates, there is naturally no need to mobilize the native fleet, and Queen Victoria has no ships to draw, so she can only ask to complete the repair of the ships of the Mediterranean Fleet as soon as possible, of course, this will take a certain amount of time, and the saddest thing during this time is probably Duke Maclane, because his ship is Lin Haijiang's primary target.

Jenny in London. Miss William spends every day with her father, James. General William would relish, when he had afternoon tea, about the tragic situation of Duke Marcline.

From one warship to two warships, Lin Haijiang has still become the largest and most powerful pirate in the Mediterranean!

Lin Haijiang, who was standing on the bridge of the Taishan, looked at the Huashan that was neck and neck, and inevitably felt a trace of pride in his heart, because he remembered that in 1877, Zhan Tianyou, Hou Debang, Wei Yuan, Yan Fu and other talents entered the Royal Naval College in the United Kingdom as the first batch of Chinese late Qing Dynasty political axe naval officials to study at the Royal Naval College, and he was more than 20 years earlier than them.

However, in the past 20 years, China has suffered endless plunder, oppression and humiliation, from a feudal country to a semi-feudal and semi-colonial, and the glorious text of 5,000 years has become the glory of the past!

The two third-class battleships with the bow image removed, although the staffing is slightly insufficient, but the two ships still have super combat effectiveness, and they can sail for six months at a time.

In order to train the team, Lin Haijiang and Lawrence commanded the Taishan and Huashan to patronize almost all the pirates in the Mediterranean, shelling, shelling, and shelling!

Lin Haijiang's behavior was to block the door and ask for money, and if the other party was slightly dissatisfied, it was an overwhelming shelling, and then the other party was asked to reimburse the expensive gunpowder and shells.

All the pirates who were looted became destitute again, and many pirates who had not yet been patronized were in a hurry to find places to bury their treasures, Lin Haijiang robbed and robbed, but he rarely destroyed the pirates' ships and equipment, which also made the pirates who had become impoverished forced to become more diligent!

For a time, the Mediterranean Sea became a paradise for pirates, and pirates from all walks of life had frequent activities, and some pirates once wanted to unite to deal with this group of guys who specialize in black and black, but due to the fierce firepower of the opposing ships, and there was no fixed supply foothold, it failed.

Moreover, the pirates with only 100 people in the boat would rather be diligent and rob more unarmed 'meat sheep' than face Lin Haijiang's gang armed to the teeth.

Lin Haijiang knew that his so-called 'number of artillery doors' trick would soon be discovered, because people of insight in the Royal Navy of the British Empire would soon realize the important surname of the central gun head ironclad ship because of the continuous improvement of new guns.

You don't even need to wait a few years, as long as your customized ironclad will be used to exert its power, this secret that is not a secret will become known to the world, and at that time, it will be even more difficult to get an ironclad from Europe, and the renewal of artillery and the replacement of new boilers will become a problem!

The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, the more he found that sometimes he was too precautionary and simply made himself unhappy! Let's let it be!

Just when Lin Haijiang was galloping freely on the Mediterranean, Jenny. Miss William also encountered a very headache, that is, the Padino boiler and steam engine that Lin Haijiang asked for were really found. Padino didn't have any boilers that could be fitted directly and practically, but had to sell his patents to Jenny. William?

Jenny. William was hesitant to pay 10,000 pounds for the invention! In Jenny. William thought that the so-called designer must have gone crazy, she had already handed over the new boiler and the drawings of the steam engine to the engineers of the manufacturing plant, and the engineers of the manufacturing plant could only guarantee that they could be built according to the drawings, but he could not guarantee the thermal efficiency of the boiler and the power of the steam engine.

And the engineer also told Jenny. William, every year there are many such new inventions published in the world, but the practical surname of these inventions is generally very low, and the new boiler and steam engine need a lot of maintenance and commissioning, and then through the data can be finally assembled and manufactured, which is a project with a short cycle and high investment risk.

Hesitating, Jenny. William eventually decided to buy Swided. The ownership of Padino's patents is just a great way to buy and sell, and the thought of being able to make that guy who is good at calculating really hurts, Jenny. An inscrutable smile appeared on William's lips.

Although it has been smooth sailing recently, Lin Haijiang has not been prepared to relax at all, because he knows that his current situation is like a very strong mouse that he feels good about, and the British Empire is a proud lion, and the strong mouse wants to show off his power in front of the lion?

Lin Haijiang is not stupid, now it's just that the British Empire doesn't have time to take care of itself, once the Royal Navy makes a move, then what awaits him will be a desperate escape.

So after every robbery, he never came forward, and distributed a part of the finances to the sailors to win people's hearts, on many occasions Lin Haijiang boasted of the wealth of the East, and even publicly claimed that some counts' property was not even as valuable as a plate in the East, and it was far better to be a pirate for a few years than to be a royal navy, and in the East you could marry a large number of wives, buy a manor as the owner of the manor, and enjoy a chic life more than the duke!

For the sailors of Lin Haijiang, who are good at and making money, they are convinced! A large part of them hoped that Lin Haijiang could lead them to the East to make a fortune! Whether it was the sailors on the original Phoenix, or the Chinese sailors hired later or the black slaves, they had long forgotten what Lin Haijiang said at the beginning, and it was obvious that when the pirates spent a lot of money, they lived extremely freely.

There is no doubt that as long as people will have dreams and needs! Extravagant hope is the driving force behind human progress.

There is no doubt that Lin Haijiang has drawn another blueprint for them who are from low and poor backgrounds! A blueprint that they could only hide deep in their hearts before.
