Chapter 593: Rothchild's Strength
"Actually...... I'll ...... tomorrow."
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'll ...... tomorrow"
"How are you tomorrow?"
"But ......"
"I'll talk about it tomorrow. Now, we ......"
Chen Wei hugged Anne and kissed her. She kissed him too.
"How bad are you......"
"That's good. Has anyone ever told you that you look good? ”
"Mom and Dad said, hehe."
"Look, huh? There's a shooting star. It's been a long time since I've seen a shooting star. You were so young the last time we met. Now you're so old, but I'm still so small. ”
"You've grown taller, Anne, and you're more beautiful than ever. I love you. ”
"You...... Can you stay here? …… I used to annoy you all the time, but I really don't know what the world is like, there are actually very few people here, and finally you came, but you have to leave......"
"I'll come to see you often, Anne."
"Promise me we'll never be separated, okay?"
"I promise you, Annie."
……
First, there was a long whistle, and then a slight vibration under him, which woke Chen Wei up from his sleep.
Chen Wei knew that now the "Alexandra" should have returned to the port of Gibraltar.
Chen Wei got up and came to the porthole, looked out, and immediately saw the neatly arranged, tall and majestic steel giants moored in the harbor.
The fetish for the appearance of beautiful, neat, sparkling ships reached its peak in the 80s of the century with the British Mediterranean fleet. This notion influenced the navies of almost all countries (Chen Wei himself used grinding stones to polish wooden decks on training cruisers). All metal parts on all ships are shiny and shiny, and the use of paint is almost unrestricted, even leading to an increase in displacement. The waterline is raised. At that time, the senior officers of the British Royal Navy had an almost morbid pursuit of the attire and etiquette of the officers and men under their command, as well as the cleanliness of the ships. The generals often wore snow-white gloves and made their rounds around. The orderly who followed them held a tray with a spare pair of gloves in the tray to change at any time. After each coal loading, all the cinders in the corners should be rinsed, and everyone should be dressed again and neatly.
Chen Wei is actually a little unimpressed by these disciplines, although he himself has been trying to abide by these disciplines. Because of his thorough view of the high-ranking officers who were vain, Chen Wei came to the conclusion that any navy that focused on its appearance would inevitably suffer its combat effectiveness. They are unlikely to survive the most brutal battles (and soon a war will prove his point).
In fact, the main guns of the British Royal Navy warships did not have many opportunities to fire, and they were manually operated guns, and their combat efficiency was very low. Just this year, the Mediterranean Fleet held its annual "gunner assessment" in accordance with the usual practice, and the target of the assessment was to shoot at a fixed single target, and the target distance was not more than 1 mile, and the warships were still moving at a fixed speed on a fixed route. Although there have been great strides in the design of ships and the innovation of artillery. But Chen Wei believes that in the current state of the Royal Navy. The battleship simply could not bring out the full performance of its design.
This is the case with the British Navy, and the situation of the navies of other countries is naturally not much better. In the East, of course, there are exceptions, and in the East, since the defeat of the Japanese navy by the navy of Qianguo and Satsuma, driven by a great sense of humiliation, is ambitiously and vigorously eliminating the malpractice; Across the Atlantic, the U.S. Navy is also working to build up its capabilities so that it can plan and execute effective maritime operations; The advantage of the rapidly growing Qianguo Navy is that it has a young contingent, an ambitious and growing shipbuilding industrial base. It's just that these growing navies are an order of magnitude behind the British Royal Navy in terms of strength, so the Royal Navy can still rely on its advantages to live leisurely.
Of course, Chen Wei also understands that the Royal Navy's great attention to neat appearance is not only a hundred disadvantages but no benefits. Never before have sailors worked so conscientiously and hard as they do now, and they are self-reliant. They take pride in the warships, fleets, and navies they serve, and this pride is capable of overriding everything. Pride comes self-confidence. At the Royal Naval College, the first notice new students see when they enter the school reads: "The Royal Navy can do anything. "This sums up the work of the Royal Navy in the decades that preceded it, and it continues to this day, like the spirit of many other nations in the world, and the Navy has indeed earned itself prestige with what it has done – only now that this hard-won prestige is in danger of being tarnished by some black sheep.
And what kind of punishment will he get if he beat those black sheep hard, and picked the tendon of the guy who tried to hurt him with a pistol?
Judging from the captain's preferential treatment of himself (he was not locked in a prison cell, nor did he let himself get close to the "nine-tailed cat"), he wanted to deal with himself lightly, but after all, he seriously injured an officer of a higher rank than himself, and as usual, he had to go to a military court.
How would the mother react if she learned the news?
Chen Wei scratched his head, he really couldn't think of it.
She should still do everything she can to mitigate her guilt and keep herself in the Royal Navy, right?
In this world, only his mother knows him best and loves him the most.
Anne loved him too, but all Anne knew was that she threw herself into his arms in the heroic Royal Navy uniform, kissed him with joy and inexplicably, and stroked the buttons on his chest and the hilt of her sword, and she did not necessarily understand the pride in his heart the moment he stepped on the deck of the battleship and looked at the majestic cannon and fluttering flag.
I really don't want to leave the Royal Navy.
However, the behavior of those black sheep is something he can't bear at all.
The battleship docked, and Chen Wei wanted to go to the deck, but he knew that he was now a prisoner and did not have such freedom.
How can we get out of the current predicament?
Chen Wei thought about it, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he returned to the table. Removed pen and paper. Begin to write quickly.
Captain Ramsay after the "Alexandra" docked. I couldn't wait to get off the ship and go to the fleet headquarters to meet the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, Beecham? Lieutenant General Seymour.
"I can't imagine that such a serious thing can happen in a small cruise." Seymour couldn't help but frown after reading Captain Ramsay's report and the testimony of those involved.
"I'm sorry, sir." Captain Ramsay saw that the face of the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet was not good, and he couldn't help but secretly sweat for Chen Wei.
Vice Admiral Seymour, who once commanded the Mediterranean Fleet, George ? Sir Seymour's nephew, has been in the Royal Navy for more than 40 years. He has commanded operations in Burma, Australia, and New Zealand, and has traveled throughout the Pacific and Mediterranean, successively serving as commander of the Eastern Fleet, then the Cape Fleet, and since last year, the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet.
"It was Rothchild who crippled the arm of a superior officer, wasn't it?" Seymour picked up the report again, looked at it, and asked.
"Yes. Is he Lionel? Nathan? The grandson of Viscount Rothschild, a true Rothschild. Ramsay replied, "Still." He is half of the Qianguo blood. ”
"What about the Qianguo bloodline? The point is that he has the blood of the Rothchild family, and it is recognized by the Rothchild family. Seymour put down his report. The courage and courage of this man was extraordinary, and he wanted to break with the old rules that had existed in Her Majesty's navy for so long, and he probably never imagined what kind of trouble he would cause to himself, and to all of us. ”
"Yes, sir, even a well-known Rothchild should not act so impulsively." "But his actions represent the thoughts of a large part of the fleet, and he just has the courage to put their ideas into action." ”
"I know this, but in this way, the contradiction becomes public." "Order and discipline in the fleet will cease to exist," Seymour said. ”
"That's right, sir." Ramsey sighed.
"Actually, this day will come sooner or later, but I didn't expect that it would be Rothchild who caused this incident......" Seymour said as if laughing at himself, "It seems that I need to change my flagship, from the Impermanence to your Alexandra." ”
Listening to Seymour's words, Ramsay was taken aback.
"Did you take any measures?" Seymour asked.
