As soon as Kiulay and Brückney, who represented Austria and Prussia respectively, heard Menlev say such things, they knew that this greedy Russian had thrown out the two countries and worked alone, but they had 50,000 troops and the capital to call out the British, what did they have?

There are two so-called cruisers of more than 2,000 tons, more than a dozen frigates of less than 1,000 tons, and dozens of transport ships.

Raglan and Gavinner both secretly felt a headache, Russia had 50,000 troops participating in the war, and the degree of contribution should be no less than that of Britain, so should they just give up the first distribution power to Russia? This is something they absolutely cannot agree with.

"Your Excellency, on behalf of the King of Spain, I disagree with your distribution." At this time, Fernand jumped out and said: "Your army does not act with us, and has no right to participate in the distribution, of course, the benefits obtained by your army in China can be owned alone, and we will not ask for a penny!" ”

Fernand's attitude was very resolute, Spain originally had the right to distribute the second, but the Russians didn't know how to grab the lead, if they succeeded, it meant that Spain could only rank third, how could he swallow this breath?

It doesn't matter if it succumbs to Britain, Britain has only occupied the top spot in the world step by step, but Russia, a backward country that relied on shit luck to get to the top of the country, was annihilated by Britain in the Crimean War with two Black Sea Fleets, and actually sent paddle steamers in the war against China, which is the first generation of steamships fifty years ago, what kind of reason did he rely on to press on Spain's head?

"Huh?" Raglan, Gavenna, Kimarães, and Mount Athothrite all flashed before their eyes. "We agree with Mr. Fernand's proposal. ”

Gioulai and Brückny looked at each other, and both smiled coldly. Prussia and Austria were five or six in naval strength in the combined fleet, and at first they had opinions about the British distribution plan. But Russia's appearance is too ugly, jumping from seventh to first, which is a violation of the interests of everyone, including them, how can they speak for Russia again?

Moreover, the Russian navy was the worst, Prussia and Austria were five or six on five or six, and it was Russia that was lower, not itself, and as for the Russian ground force of 50,000 men, as Fernand said. It was his own chance that he caught it, and it had nothing to do with the Combined Fleet.

"We agree!" Gioulai and Brückny both took a stand.

"I disagree!" Prince Menlev immediately roared against!

Raglan sneered: "Your Excellency Menglev, please don't be unreasonable, the five countries agree to my distribution plan, even if you don't agree, you must accept it, otherwise, please leave with your fleet, less Russia." Our six countries can also attack the Democratic Alliance army, even if you report to your family His Majesty the Tsar to put pressure, I am not afraid, because it is you who are unreasonable in the first place, and Her Majesty will distinguish between right and wrong. What's more, please don't blame me for speaking badly, the Russian Navy is really dispensable. We are willing to take you to play, which is already very kind. ”

"You" for a moment. Prince Menlev even has the urge to pull out a gun, this is the insult of Chiguoguo. It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and even Prussia and Austria don't help him, and if he dares to play tricks single-handedly, the small Russian fleet will be destroyed in minutes!

And if he can't bear to take a breath and leave, it means that he won't get any benefits, at least he will be cheeky and stay, and he will have the seventh distribution right, and he will always get some of it, which is much better than going back empty-handed and being scolded by His Majesty the Tsar.

"Humph!" Prince Monlev snorted heavily, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

"Mr. Raglan!" At this time, a civilian officer hurriedly ran over and handed over a letter: "Mr. Pashali's information. ”

Raglan took it, opened it and looked at it.

Fernand leaned over and asked, "What is it?" ”

Raglan said casually: "The Democratic Alliance Navy, one battleship, six cruisers and three frigates have all retreated into the Yangtze River, it seems that he has the intention of abandoning the port and wharf and only keeping the warship." ”

Wang Feng's standard for the navy is that all frigates below 3,000 tons are counted, but in fact, European cruisers only have a displacement of more than 2,000 tons, while the 6 or 700 ton ships in the navy of the Democratic Alliance are defined as boats, which is equivalent to the standard of corvettes in Europe.

Fernand suddenly sneered: "Think you can save the fleet by retreating into the Yangtze River? I have to say, the Chinese are too naïve, Mr. Raglan, without further ado, let's send troops today. ”

Raglan nodded and said: "Sending troops is definitely sending troops, but we have too many transport ships, and bringing them all will seriously affect efficiency, so I think we should keep at least half of them, of course, it will be very difficult to protect so many transport ships with the Channel Fleet alone, so we still need to leave some warships to guard the port, who wants to stay?" ”

As soon as these words came out, no one answered, doesn't it mean that you can't eat pies if you stay? Who would do such a stupid thing that harms themselves and others?

Raglan looked at Monlev and smiled: "The paddle steamers of the Russian army are too backward, as long as they are hit on the wheels, they will lose their ability to drive, and they will not work at all in modern naval warfare, they only guard the harbor together with our strait fleet, Your Excellency Menlev, what do you say?" ”

"Nope! I disagree! It's not fair! Menlev said angrily: "Raglan, don't deceive people too much, our Russian naval strength is very weak, but don't forget, we are invited by your country, if you go too far, it will not only make your country bear the wrath of His Majesty the Tsar, but also embarrass His Majesty the Queen, if you really want to leave the fleet to guard, I propose that each family should keep ten percent of the warships in proportion." ”

"It's a good calculation!" Gavinner glanced at Monlev with disdain.

Leave the defensive ships proportionally, for example, if Russia keeps one, Britain will keep four or five, doesn't this take the British for fools? ”

"Alright, alright, don't fight." Fernand shook his head and said, "The navy of the Democratic Alliance has all retreated into the Yangtze River, where will he come from to threaten Singapore?" I'm going to order the Manila fleet to be transferred to China as well.

Therefore, it is enough to have the Strait Fleet to guard it, and the pirates of Malacca have not dared to come to rob the port of Xingjiapo, so we will set off together and strive to enter the Yangtze River within half a month. ”

Raglan didn't really want to kick the Russians out, after all, it involved the relationship between the two countries, and he couldn't embarrass Her Majesty for a little petty profit, he just wanted to blow down the arrogance of Menlev and let this Russian understand who was the main person in charge of the combined fleet.

Moreover, Spain is in second place in the combined fleet, and it cannot but give face.

After Fernand's mediation, Raglan nodded and said, "Gentlemen, hurry up and prepare, and try to leave before evening, I will go first and take my leave." With that, he hurried away with Gavenna. (To be continued......)
