638 The two giants meet

On December 19, Lin Fei came to Liugong Island one day in advance, but Lin Fei did not get off the ship for safety, and around the battleship, there were not only small boats cruising, but also frogmen patrolling underwater to guard against all possible sneak attacks.

On the same day, Emperor Guangxu also came to Liugong Island, Emperor Guangxu took the Zhiyuan ship, and did not get off the ship after arriving at Liugong Island, it seems that Emperor Guangxu is not at ease with Lin Fei, and is also worried that Lin Fei will take the opportunity to arrest him.

The meeting between Lin Fei and Emperor Guangxu attracted the attention of the whole world, and reporters from all over the world flocked to the meeting, and the leaders of the two giants of Asia, Huaxia and Qingguo, were about to meet, which was really a historic moment.

On December 20th, the public memorial ceremony officially began, the venue was built near the sea, the north side is the rostrum, standing on the rostrum you can see the sea, the highlight of the public memorial ceremony is the naval parade, Emperor Guangxu and Lin Fei, just watch the naval parade here.

The Qing court attached great importance to this military parade, and all the warships poured out, as if to deter Lin Fei, and Lin Fei also took out a series of warships, including Dynasty-class battleships, which will also be unveiled in front of the world for the first time.

The west side of the rostrum is the guest viewing platform, on the viewing platform are the reporters of various countries and the rich gentry of the Qing Dynasty, between the viewing platform and the rostrum, there are two guards standing every one meter, one is the Qing soldiers, the other is the Chinese soldiers, the Chinese and the Qing countries are not at ease with each other, so both sides are jointly sentry.

These Qing soldiers were all brought by the Guangxu Emperor from the capital, all of them wore golden armor, carried muskets, and carried long knives at their waists, and the muskets and scabbards were engraved with beautiful patterns.

Looking at the Chinese soldiers again, they are all wearing blue and white camouflage combat uniforms, wearing ZB-1 tactical carrying equipment equipped with bulletproof steel plates on the outside of the combat uniforms, and holding LBQ-1 automatic rifles.

Lin Fei and Emperor Guangxu walked on the rostrum, there were only two seats on the rostrum, one for Lin Fei and one for Emperor Guangxu, and the one for Emperor Guangxu was more luxurious, in order to show that the Qing State was the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire.

The agreement between the two sides stipulates that only ten bodyguards can be brought into the rostrum, and these bodyguards are not allowed to carry weapons, and even Lu Xian'er's pointed hairpin has been taken away, and Lu Xian'er can only hastily tie up a long hair, as for Yu Ningshuang, when she was practicing parachuting, she found that when she fell from a high altitude, the head rope might be blown away by the wind, and the long hair spread out to cover her eyes, so she cut off all the long hair and left a pretty short hair.

Lin Fei and Emperor Guangxu sat on the rostrum surrounded by bodyguards, and Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai, and Weng Tongyi, the ministers of the Qing State, could only stand behind Lin Fei and Emperor Guangxu.

Lin Fei saw the real Emperor Guangxu for the first time, and found that Emperor Guangxu was still quite spiritual, but he had been in the deep palace for many years, and Emperor Guangxu's body looked thin and his face looked relatively pale.

Lin Fei took the initiative to say hello to Emperor Guangxu: "Hello." ”

Emperor Guangxu seemed to be very unaccustomed to someone sitting and talking to him, and replied coldly: "Hello." ”

Lin Fei almost laughed when he heard Emperor Guangxu's voice, because Emperor Guangxu spoke an authentic Beijing dialect, and his pronunciation was very heavy, in Lin Fei's era, cross talk actors often spoke like this, so Lin Fei listened to Emperor Guangxu as much as listening to cross talk.

Lin Fei listened to Emperor Guangxu's cold voice, so he had no interest in continuing to speak, turned his head and did not speak, and the public memorial ceremony officially began under the auspices of Deng Shichang.

According to the meaning of the Qing State, Emperor Guangxu wanted to lead Lin Fei and the ministers to carry out a large series of complicated and cumbersome kneeling ceremonies, and the Chinese side believed that the Guangxu Emperor led Lin Fei and the ministers to carry out the kneeling ceremony, which was a dwarf of Lin Fei, so he resolutely disagreed.

After dozens of disputes and discussions between the two sides, the final public memorial ceremony was simplified into the following form, first, by Deng Shichang reviewed the Yellow Sea naval battle, and then, the audience stood up and mourned for the dead soldiers for a minute, after that, Lin Fei and Emperor Guangxu respectively issued condolences to the representatives of the families of the dead soldiers, and then later, Lin Fei and Emperor Guangxu spoke respectively, and finally, the naval parade.

After simplifying to this point, the Qing court was still dissatisfied, and the Qing court demanded that when speaking, Lin Fei spoke first, and Emperor Guangxu spoke later, and Lin Fei's speech time should not exceed the time when Emperor Guangxu spoke, Lin Fei disdained to argue with the Qing court and agreed.

The Qing court also said that Emperor Guangxu, as the king of a country, could not personally issue condolences to the representatives of the families of the victims, but should be sent by others, and Lin Fei agreed.

Lin Fei didn't care about things like reviewing the battle before, Lin Fei was concerned about Emperor Guangxu's speech, and he wanted to see the Qing court's judgment on the future situation from Emperor Guangxu's speech.

The previous ceremonies were all over, and when it came to Lin Fei's speech, Deng Shichang said simply: "Next, please invite Emperor Fei to speak." ”

Lin Fei picked up the manuscript and read it again, and there were ten mentions in the manuscript that Huaxia and the Qing Kingdom were friendly to each other and prospered together.

Lin Fei's speech lasted for three minutes, and he sat down after speaking, at which time Deng Shichang changed into an extremely respectful tone and knelt on the ground, "I respectfully invite Emperor Chongyun Dazhong to Zhengwen Wei, Xiao, Wisdom, Wisdom, Frugality, and Diligence Jing on the same day." "That large list of words is the honorific title of Emperor Guangxu, and when the courtiers call the emperor on major occasions, they must use that large list of honorific titles, and if they make a mistake, they will be killed.

A eunuch held the microphone in front of Emperor Guangxu, Emperor Guangxu read the speech in his pure Beijing dialect, the speech was written in classical Chinese, particularly jerky, Lin Fei's ancient literary skills are average, you can understand it by reading classical Chinese, but it is not good to listen, Lin Fei turned his head to look at his bodyguards, one by one like ducks listening to thunder, Lin Fei secretly sighed, it would be good if Xiyun was there.

Emperor Guangxu's speech took five minutes, and then he finished speaking, Lin Fei heard words like "harmony and prosperity", and was secretly happy, it seems that Emperor Guangxu will not be hostile to me, and the plan to strengthen the fortifications should also slow down.

Finally arrived at the highlight of the public sacrifice ceremony, the battleship review, Lin Fei and Emperor Guangxu stood up together, walked to the viewing platform near the sea, and the guards separated Lin Fei and Emperor Guangxu from everyone.

In the distance, the sparkling sea, Qing warships and Huaxia warships are preparing to review.

After reviewing the battleship public memorial ceremony, it was over, Lin Fei was a little surprised, this public memorial ceremony was a little too smooth, right?

Deng Shichang gave an order, the battleship review ceremony officially began, the first to review is the Qing warship, the first to come is the Qing small torpedo boats, a total of eight, these torpedo boats are coal-fired steam engine power, although it is a new warship, but due to the poor quality of coal, the chimney spewed out, it turned out to be black smoke.

When Lin Fei saw this, he sneered, secretly thinking that the Qing warship was just like this, what do I have to worry about, but Emperor Guangxu did not see this backwardness, but smiled with a smile on his face, complacent about the strength of the Qing warship.

The Qing courtiers behind Emperor Guangxu nodded their heads and said yes, but the foreign guests in the distance frequently shook their heads, because they had seen too many torpedo boats, and the eight torpedo boats of the Qing Kingdom could not arouse their interest at all.

Soon the Zhiyuan ship and the Jingyuan ship sailed over, and the Guangxu Emperor and the Qing ministers were even more happy, but the foreign guests sighed, in this era of naval technology explosion, Britain and Germany have taken out dreadnoughts, Huaxia took out submarines, but the Qing State still uses such small cruisers to support the faΓ§ade.

The Qing warships have passed, and the Huaxia battleships are about to appear, and the foreign guests feel a little excited, the Huaxia Navy has defeated the existence of the British and French fleets!

The first to come was the Emperor-class cruiser, this type of cruiser has been on the market for almost three years, and the guests from various countries have nothing to be excited about, and when the four Emperor-class cruisers have passed, the Dynasty-class battleship will appear!

As soon as the Dynasty-class battleship appeared, it attracted the attention of the audience, the Dynasty-class battleship once appeared in the Battle of Vietnam and damaged the British battleship, since then, Britain has gone wild, the Chinese Empire has a type of battleship equipped with ultra-long-range and super-powerful artillery, but no one has ever seen the real body of this type of battleship, today's battleship, is it that type of battleship?

In order to prevent the rockets of the Dynasty-class battleship from being seen, Lin Fei specially covered the rocket launcher on the hull with a large tarpaulin, which greatly increased the mystery of the Dynasty-class battleship.

The foreign reporters, who were deeply shocked by the Dynasty-class battleships, went crazy and asked the Chinese soldiers: "Soldier friends, do you know what the name of your battleship is?" ”

Some reporters even took out money and stuffed it into the ammunition bags of the Chinese soldiers, "Soldier friends, as long as you tell me about that type of battleship, I will give you more money." ”

It's a pity that most of the Chinese soldiers don't know the details of the Dynasty-class battleships, and the money of foreign journalists has been wasted.

Emperor Guangxu also felt a deep shock when he saw the dynasty-class battleship, because the dynasty-class battleship was much larger than the Qing Dynasty's Zhiyuan and Jingyuan, and the turret was much larger, and Emperor Guangxu's face became more and more difficult to see.

Lin Fei saw that Emperor Guangxu showed a bitter gourd face, he was very proud, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face, Emperor Guangxu glanced at Lin Fei's smiling face, snorted coldly, turned his head and called Li Hongzhang closer, and said in a low voice: "Li Aiqing, are things ready?" ”
