Mediterranean, Greece.

Xu Chengzong, the Duke of Wei, had a very unsightly face, not because the war was not going well, nor because his subordinates had suffered losses.

Caesar poured a glass of wine for Xu Chengzong: "Old Duke Xu, don't get angry about these things, just lose a small dock, don't you often say that the way of the soldier is not for the gains and losses of one city and one pool." Let's see what they're going to do first. In terms of land warfare, we do not have an advantage, and we have too few troops. But naval battles are still assured. ”

"I'm angry because that person is ......"

"You mean Alfonso V, what about being capricious, killing his own brothers for profit. I never trusted him, he was an ambitious man. From the day he betrayed the Pope, he was destined to betray us as well. A person's faith will persist even if life reaches the end! ”

Caesar said as he poured wine for Xu Chengzong.

Xu Chengzong nodded: "Reasonable, I believe in Taoism." When I first married home, she believed in Buddhism, she wanted me to believe in Buddhism, I wanted her to believe, but she didn't even know her mother anymore, she still believed in Buddhism. And I'm still a believer, but she's very nice to me, and I can trust her. ”

"Actually, in the past, our Orthodox Church also had some combinations with other religions, and this is not in conflict. To each his own faith. It's just that the Ottoman Empire is different, if you don't believe in it, you will die, whether you marry or believe in their religion, I don't think it's good, but this topic is far away, let's give up some retreats and see how the situation goes. ”

Xu Chengzong, the Duke of Wei, poured himself a sip of wine and nodded: "It's not easy to give up, and your subordinates have to be comforted and appeased." ”

"But also give up some, for the sake of the strategy on land!" Caesar understood that even if all the Byzantine people were now soldiers, they would not be able to defeat the Ottoman Empire and the Pope joining forces.

Just as the two of them were working on the map. Someone came in.

"Your Royal Highness, there is an urgent telegram from China. Because of the urgency, it went straight to us. I believe that there should be no translation errors, and let the officials who have studied Chinese carefully check it. "A Byzantine officer came in with a telegram in both hands.

Xu Chengzong read it carefully, but there was not much reaction. Instead, a cigar was lit. Start thinking deeply.

Caesar took it and looked at it.

It reads that the Chinese Emperor personally conquered, a total of three ships, and the captains were the Chinese Emperor, Bai Minghe, and Deng Hailong. Target the Mediterranean.

"Three boats? It's not a translation error, it's not three thousand? Caesar's first reaction was that this was wrong.

What is the identity of the emperor of the Chinese Empire, there are only three ships, isn't it funny. Or three fleets, which is also understandable.

"Nope. It's three-of-a-kind! Xu Chengzong spoke.

"Three of a kind?"

"That's right, I didn't expect this kid to use all three. You can't underestimate these three, one can dominate the Mediterranean, even if my fleet is there, I will die in the face of any of these hard fights, this ship, I can't describe how terrible it is, it took five years for the white crane to dock. Pure steel hull, pure steel inside and out. I have seen it in the workshop where the cannonballs are made, and the most expensive cannonball is two hundred taels of silver, and as long as a cannon hits, there is no ship in the world that can remain at sea, including my flagship, which is also a cannonball. And the range is very, very long. It is known as fifty miles, and if you see a ship, you will definitely be able to sink it, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......"

Of course, Xu Chengzong couldn't have imagined that Bai Minghe would actually take out this big killing weapon.

Caesar was also silent. I lit myself a cigarette.

It's one thing to be powerful, but it's another thing to use it.

After this ship sails to the Mediterranean, how to give full play to its combat power and how to play a strategic role, and how to cooperate with the troops on this side of the Mediterranean, this is definitely a big problem.

For a while, Xu Chengzong didn't have any ideas, just talked about what he knew, but there was not much information about the steel battleship.

At this time, the South China Sea of the Ming Dynasty.

Guangzhou simply did not have a berth for the ship to enter the port, but in this way, the Chinese emperor Zhu Qiyu also asked to drive the ship in, take a turn in the port, and then replenish some coal, and then turn around and leave.

In the whole of China, no one is talking about this steel giant, who would have thought that a ship made of steel could float on the water.

The people frantically gathered around the dock and watched.

And the Chinese emperor Zhu Qiyu was wearing a suit of armor and waved to the people at the bow of the ship.

"Hooray, Lord Bai's ship has been away for more than ten miles." Wei Shaoqing reminded on the side.

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Let's also set off, and call Bai Minghe." The second stop is Temasek Port for resupply, then the third stop is at the East Exit of Malacca, the fourth stop is Ceylon, and the fifth stop goes directly to Africa. ”

"Yes, slave is going to generate electricity." Knowing that Zhu Qiyu wanted to show off his steel giant ship, Bai Minghe ran away first. Deng Hailong can't, he still has the task of escorting, as a fleet admiral, demoted to a captain. But just this captain, the entire sailor is personally willing.

The captain of the first steel giant ship, he didn't think about it for a hundred years.

Let's just say that this ship is definitely the treasure of pure masters.

In the South China Sea, the white crane was moving forward at full speed, and the white crane didn't like to be watched, so he left one step ahead. The white crane pulled Angela to the bow of the boat, and always wanted to play with the gorgeous outstretched arms, but now there is finally a chance, Angela is dressed in a European palace costume and can reproduce the style of the movie.

Angela laughed merrily.

The white fox appeared behind the white crane very disappointed at this time: "Young master, this is too dangerous, you make the guards nervous." ”

"Okay, okay." The white crane came down with Angela in his arms.

"The first mate said, we're too fast. Although the boiler is normal, this distance is still far away, ask you if you want to reduce it to an economic speed, I will directly let it slow down. After all, this is a long way, and it is troublesome to repair it in case of failure. If you go to the Mediterranean, it's not ridiculous to be at sea. ”

"Rest assured, this boiler won't break so easily. There's nothing wrong with being careful, though, and listen to you. ”

Shira-naka supported the White Fox's approach.

The white fox said again: "Young master, why don't you care about anything as a captain. ”

"I'm just a name, and everyone knows it. Let the professional do the professional work, tell them Temasek to tidy up, and carefully inspect all the boilers of the three boats. Then the three boats acted together, after all, it would not be our territory after leaving Malacca, and if someone attacked ......, I hope no one will attack. ”

"What the young master said is not wrong, but I know that the whole ship is expecting someone to attack us without long eyes."

"Maybe."

Bai Ming Crane said that unless there is water in his head, the small wooden boat dares to attack the stainless steel battleship, isn't it funny?

Bai Minghe's ship was the fastest, not because of the speed, but because he didn't stop at the port of Guangzhou for too long, and he didn't even replenish the coal, and was ready to come to Temasek or Malacca to replenish it.

On this ship, there were sixteen boilers, and the amount of coal burned was extremely large.

In the same way, there is no way to enter the port, and all the supplies are transferred by small boats, and no one has designed a large berth that can rely on this ship before.

The guards here approached by boat, but they were not qualified to board the ship. According to the order of the Chinese Emperor Zhu Qiyu, this ship is not allowed to board any non-registered personnel on board for the time being, so the supplies are hoisted onto the ship by crane.

When Bai Minghe arrived, the Japanese people were very nervous and sent someone to greet him, but Bai Minghe refused.

"My lord, you should give the widow a good face!" Wan Xue'er persuaded beside her. At this time, because there were other military attaches around, Wan Xue'er called Bai Minghe an adult, not a young master. At this time, Wan Xue'er was still wearing a scribe's Confucian shirt, dressed like a master, and there was no makeup on her face.

"No, it's only for half a day anyway. Just let them be scared, just let them see the boat. ”

About an hour later, the ship of the Chinese Emperor Zhu Qiyu and Deng Hailong's ship also arrived, and they were originally going to enter the port to replenish supplies, but when they saw dozens of Japanese people kneeling on the dock in Chinese costumes, Zhu Qiyu said to Wei Shaoqing: "No wonder the white crane is in a hurry to come, let's let the people look happy, but he is here to make the Japanese people look scared." ”

"Long live the wise!" Wei Shaoqing replied beside him.

"That's it, say to the white crane. I thought that the swordsmanship of the Japanese people was not bad, so I picked four excellent ones, and I added two more to the forbidden army guards. Let's arrange two female ninjas for Shira-nakatsuru. Zhu Qiyu looked at the widow who was kneeling on the ground and said to Wei Shaoqing.

Wei Shaoqing deliberately asked again: "Long live, you said you want a female forbearance?" ”

"That's right, you need a female ninja. This is what I mean, let them be incorporated into the Dongchang women's guard. I don't want to worry about what I need to do after that, I think the white crane will have an idea. Even if he doesn't care, the women around him are very good. Zhu Qiyu said that it was Wan Xueer, who was born in Dongchang, and was ruthless enough.

Wei Shaoqing went down to make arrangements.

What can the white crane say, there are only two words, obedience.

However, the Japanese people were finally relieved, and the old man of the Oda family, who had been kneeling for the longest time, was wet with sweat, not because it was hot here, but because he was too nervous, and he was really afraid that the white crane would be unhappy.

On the boat, Bai Minghe lit a cigar and said to Wan Xue'er: "I'm not unhappy, in fact, I'm happy." But I couldn't let the Japanese know that I was happy, and the two women endured it. You look at the arrangement, there are some places on the ship that are ordered to go down, and if it is taboo, it must be taboo, and it is also arranged for someone to say a word to the boat of Banzai. ”

"Young master, don't worry, the forbidden places are guarded by the elite of our East Factory."

Wan Xue'er will naturally be careful, this ship is a divine soldier, an invincible divine soldier in the world. The key locations are the control room, steam room, transmission room and other locations, and the rest of the shipyards do not have too many restrictions.

Deng Hailong stood at the bow of the ship, he didn't have these political thoughts, but said to the deputy general: "Ben Shuai hasn't figured out how to use this ship until now." I'm afraid that Wei Guogong is also in a dilemma, although he is a divine soldier, but if he cooperates with other legions, it is indeed a big problem. (To be continued......)
