Chapter 355: British Line One

London, the capital of the United Kingdom, the River Thames.

Qiao Anbang took Liang Jiahan, Chu Yan and Yali to take a small cruise ship to the city of London, standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the city of London, which had already become the largest city in the world in 1801, Qiao Anbang couldn't help but feel quite shocked and lost.

It is striking that London was already so bustling in the thirties, with trains, taxis, ferries, cruise ships and other modern means of transport.

The whole city is full of flowers, and Qiao Anbang has a feeling of returning to the 21st century.

Sadly, even Shanghai, China's most advanced metropolis and the largest city closest to the West's development trajectory, cannot be compared to London.

Once upon a time, the Chinese nation was once ahead of the world, far ahead of all nations in the world in terms of economy, military strength, and industry and commerce, and the Chinese nation has always called itself the Celestial Empire, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is rich and strong and the four seas are subjugated!

However, in modern times, the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties gradually weakened, making the Chinese nation slowly lag behind the Western world, and finally fell into being wantonly bullied and invaded by the Oriental clowns, and almost wiped out the country.

This is the shame of all the sons and daughters of China, and I wonder if the 40,000,000 people of China now have a vast land of more than 14 million square kilometers and are wantonly humiliated by an Oriental island country whose population is less than one-tenth of his own.

Thinking back to the ancestors who created the Han and Tang dynasties, and the barbarians from all over the world heard that the Han and Tang dynasties fled in despair, kneeling and asking for surrender, why did the dignified China fall to this point today?

As a son and daughter of China and a descendant of Yan and Huang, the more Qiao Anbang thinks about it, the more heartache he feels, but fortunately, now he has the opportunity and ability to change the backwardness and poverty of the Chinese nation, and he will devote his whole life to working hard for it, so that the Chinese nation can stand on top of the world again.

Qiao Anbang secretly made up his mind in his heart.

On the dock of a tributary of the River Thames, a British man in his mid-thirties and a few companions were carrying goods from a small cargo boat to shore.

At this time, it was the hottest time of the year in London, and it was a very tiring job to carry it, and when it was hot, the British men took off their shirts one after another, all of them were bare-chested and bare-backed, revealing the thick chest hair in front of their chests, and the muscles of their arms and abdomen protruded high, giving people a wild vision like a beast.

More than a dozen British men bare-chested and bare-chested in public, and if such a scene were placed in China, it would definitely cause the big girls and little daughters-in-law to scream and then hide their faces and flee.

But in London, people seem to be accustomed to such scenes, and the occasional English girl who passes by the dock even walks while admiring the burly bodies of the bearded men, and occasionally throwing a few winks at them.

John Rick is Chinese New Year's Eve and has a wife and three children.

It turned out that John Rick was a second lieutenant in the British Royal Navy fleet, because of a drunken accident two years ago, he was fired from the army, and after demobilization, John had nothing to do but sail a ship, and was forced to make a living, so he could only buy a small cargo ship with the help of relatives and friends and start a cargo job.

Not to mention the extreme hard work of getting up early and staying up late every day, the money earned is only enough for John Rick to maintain the normal expenses of the family, and even John Rick wants to go to bars and red light districts with his friends.

So, Johnrick's life is not as good as it should be, but he also knows that he will never return to the Royal Navy fleet to continue his position as a second lieutenant unless war breaks out.

And John Rick thinks that the possible surname of the current outbreak of war is like looking for a root in the Thames, the current Queen Elizabeth of the British Empire and the Kingdom of Northern Ireland? Bowes Leon's hair is the same, extremely small, or impossible.

Because after the victory of the First World War, the British, from the king to the common people, believed that the Germans would never dare to provoke a war again, and that they would no longer be able to fight against the British Empire, after all, there was a Versaille contract on their heads.

After moving all the goods and getting paid with a few companions, John Rick sailed in his small cargo ship in the direction of home.

Chewing gum and humming an English song, John Rick's little cargo boat has sailed out of the tributary and into the main channel of the Thames.

"Hey, be careful!" Because Joan Bang contracted a powerful and fast cruise ship, so the sailing speed was quite fast, and when the cruise ship was about to pass through the confluence of the tributary and the main river, a small motorized cargo ship suddenly rushed out of the tributary river like an arrow from the string.

The cruise ship couldn't avoid it, and when it was about to collide with it, Qiao Anbang, who was standing at the bow of the cruise ship, immediately shouted.

At this time, several helmsmen of Qiao Anbang cruise ship hurriedly turned the rudder in panic to avoid it, and to the surprise of Qiao Anbang, Chu Yan and others, seeing that the two ships were about to collide, the small cargo ship suddenly accelerated, and the helmsman on the ship turned desperately, and finally made the two ships pass by at a distance of less than two meters.

After passing by, Qiao Anbang's cruise ship had completely stopped, and the sailors and captains on the cruise ship turned their heads to look behind the right side, because there was a crashing sound just now.

In order to avoid the oncoming cruise ship, John Rick raised the speed of his cargo ship to the limit, although he avoided the bad luck of being hit by the cruise ship, but his cargo ship also crashed directly into another large cargo ship in the river because of its speed.

β€œ:mygod,damnit!” With a loud bang, John Rick's small cargo ship hit the side steel hull of the large freighter like an egg, and the bow of the ship was suddenly seriously deformed, and some of John's eating guys in the cargo ship were also taken up and fell into the bottomless river, and even John Rick himself was almost thrown out.

Fortunately, he grabbed the rudder with amazing arm strength.

Spit out the gum in his mouth, and John Rick was surprised to find that the bow of the boat had begun to flood.

"I'm grass!" John burst into a foul mouth, and immediately began to call for help from the freighter that was hit by himself: "Help me, my ship is fucking flooded, damn it!" ”

Qiao Anbang, who had returned to the stern of the ship and found that John Rick had hit the ship, hurriedly asked Chu Yan to translate to the captain and helmsmen, instructing them to save people immediately.

After receiving Qiao Anbang's instructions, the captain and sailors of the entire ship had been chartered by Qiao Anbang and began to rescue people in a hurry, and one sailor drove a rubber boat towards John Rick's cargo ship.

At the same time, rescuers were also dispatched on the freighter that John had hit for no reason.

However, when John Rick saw that the cruise ship that caused him to collide with the ship did not take the opportunity to leave, but sent someone to rescue him, he immediately pointed to the sailor who came to the rescue and said: "Damn, it's you, you are rampaging in the river, causing me to have an accident now, I want you to fully compensate ......!" ”

In a series of complaints, John, who saw that his cargo ship had been seriously flooded, still got on the rubber boat sent by Jo Anbang to rescue him, sat on the rubber boat, and watched his cargo ship slowly sink because of the flooding, and John Rick, who had just been scratching the rescue sailors for compensation, suddenly sat on the rubber boat and cried loudly.

"My ship ......" John Rick was in a terrible mood, his cargo ship was the source of livelihood for the whole family, and now it was about to sink, how could he not feel bad and not feel heartache.

On the cruise ship, Qiao Anbang turned to the captain who had already come down to the deck, pointed to the small cargo ship that was about to sink and said, "Can you save that ship?" ”

After listening to Chu Yan's translation, the captain shook his head and replied in English: "There is no way to save it now, if you want to regain that ship, you can only ask the salvage company to salvage, but it is just a small cargo ship with a low price, and there is no need to ask a salvage company to salvage it, because the cost required is enough to buy a small cargo ship again!" ”

Also after listening to Chu Yan's translation, Qiao Anbang's brows suddenly frowned, looking at the British man who had been rescued and was boarding the ship, and felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

When John Rick was rescued from the cruise ship, he sat on the deck in despair, staring blankly at his cargo ship, which had sunk to only half of the hull, with indescribable sadness in his eyes.

"Yanyan, you go and tell him, so that he doesn't have to be sad, I will cover all his losses today!" Qiao Anbang pondered for a while, and turned his head to Chu Yan next to him.

"Hmm!" Chu Yan nodded happily, stepped forward, and said to John Rick in fluent English: "This gentleman, our boss asked me to tell you, don't be sad, all your losses today will be borne by us!" ”

"Really?" John Rick turned around when he heard the sound, but found that it was an incomprehensible oriental woman who was talking to him, with a delicate and fair oriental face, and a devilish figure that was not inferior to that of Westerners, which made John Rick stunned for a moment.

Feeling the gaffe of this foreign man, Chu Yan smiled generously and nodded in a pleasant voice: "Yes sir, our boss will never regret what he promised!" ”

"Oooh!" John Rick nodded subconsciously like falling into the clouds, and before he had completely woken up from Chu Yan's beauty, he subconsciously said: "Beautiful young lady, you are so beautiful, as beautiful as an angel!" ”

"I'm sorry that you suffered a loss just now, this gentleman!" Qiao Anbang stepped forward at this time, but his big fan-like hand hugged Chu Yan's small waist, and said to John Rick with a smile.

"Is he?" When John Rick saw Qiao Anbang coming up, he put his hand on the waist of the beautiful oriental beauty in front of him, and he was inevitably a little lost in his heart, and asked Chu Yan.

Chu Yan first translated Qiao Anbang's words aside, and then replied to him: "He is my boss and my lover!" ”

John Rick suddenly realized, and at the same time, he also noticed that there were two beautiful women behind the Chinese man in front of him, who were no less beautiful than the woman in front of him.

However, the gentlemanly demeanor in the bones of the British quickly made John Rick return to normal, stood up and greeted Qiao Anbang and Chu Yan very politely: "Hello, my name is John Rick, I am meeting you for the first time, and it is a pleasure to meet you!" ”

"Qiao Anbang, from China, this is my secretary and lover Chu Yan!" Qiao Anbang smiled and nodded to introduce himself.

After Chu Yan translated it with a smile on his face, he asked humorously, "Mr. John, are you sure it's a pleasure to meet us?" ”
