"I'm a god! What's that, exactly? ”

"Monsters! It must be a monster! ”

"Nope! Idiot! That's a battleship, a battleship of God! He's come to save us! ”

"Believers! Let's pray! God has sent messengers to save us! ”

"Well, priest, I would like to ask, why did the messenger of God fly the flag of that empire?"

"This ......"

An unprecedented fleet, an unprecedented giant warship, appeared in New York Harbor, even on the ocean, then there must be a lot of New Yorkers to see, such a fresh, huge, loud, and frightening thing, the citizens can not come to watch?

At this time, the Manhattan dock really gathered a lot of people, just like when Li Mengyang led the New York Revolution here, and then the Erikson sank Samuel. DuPont's Minnesota...... Well, General Dupont is now a general of the Empire, and he is obsessed with the naval battle of that year, and has always claimed that it was an accident, and his ship was sunk!

It was indeed sunk, but it was also sunk? And now, the city of New York, in the face of such a huge ship, will it sink?

"Mr. Sward, I solemnly tell you now, our fleet of the British Empire must remain neutral, and you can handle the internal affairs of the United States by yourself, and that's it."

“NONONO！ Your Excellency, Lord Earl Clarendon, please do not make a decision so early, I beg you, from the bottom of my heart......"

On the USS Constitution in New York Harbor, Earl Clarendon is meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Sward. The two of them made an agreement on the previous ...... Looks like this is going to change the hexagram!

Didn't make up. Earl Clarendon immediately found Sword. And his attitude is also very clear, our British Empire's fleet will not help, you can handle the things on the sea yourself.

Obviously, what kind of tariff reduction before, and many preferential policies for the British Empire, could not impress the Earl of Clarendon, and this great nobleman. He felt that he was doing the right thing, because the steel giant beast on the sea would decide so if anyone saw it, so he didn't have to go through any Queen of England, and Lao Tzu, a big nobleman, would be arbitrary!

It is really normal to say that this change in attitude of Earl Clarendon is really normal, but Sward can't afford to lose this strong reinforcement now, so he said so.

"Your Excellency! I understand your feelings. I also watched the big guy on the sea. But sir, I must say it. Maybe that guy isn't as good as he looks? ”

Hey, that's interesting, maybe not?

"What? Such a big ship, all made of metal, such a giant ship is still fake?! "Earl Clarendon doesn't want to hear this Sward's nonsense at all, he actually wants to leave this place right now.

However, Ward was the head of the congregation, and he was the most capable member of the Lincoln Cabinet.

"Your Excellency! I really don't think that thing can be real! ”

"You guy is insulting me! I saw it with my own eyes! ”

This is almost a quarrel, but Schward smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, I want to ask, in today's world, which country has the strongest national strength and the most prosperous science?" ”

"Huh?" The Earl of Clarendon was stunned, because the answer to this question was too simple, "Of course it's my British Empire!" ”

That's right, the most powerful thing in the world today is the British Empire, and even in New York, in the United States of America, you, the Secretary of State, have to admit it, right?

"Exactly!"

Hey, this Sward still admitted, then...... Earl Clarendon is a little confused, so why are you asking this question?

I only heard Sward laugh and said: "That is so, I want to ask Your Excellency the Earl, can the giant ship outside New York Harbor, the British Empire, be built?" ”

"Huh?!"

This question is simply true!

On the surface, this question is a run on Earl Clarendon, but in fact, this is what Sward is trying to say, maybe the giant ship is fake!

Yes, the logic is, since the strongest British Empire in the world could not build such a huge ship, how could the American Empire build it?

As long as this is said here, the Earl of Clarendon will naturally understand, don't look at him as a noble lord, but he is not a fool, he can naturally understand, but ...... Let's not talk about anything else, then there is such a thing in front of us, so how can we prove that this thing is fake?

It's like, if a person has something in front of him, but others say that this thing doesn't exist, how can it be rectified?

In fact, it's very simple, judging from the current situation, wouldn't it be okay to beat her guy!

If you want to confirm that a giant ship is fake and a good thing, then you have to fight it, and that's the only way, but it's such a mission......

"Your Excellency! We, the United States Navy, will prove to you that the so-called giant ship is actually a useless pile of scrap metal! "Sward swears!

"......" Count Clarendon really didn't say anything, because this guy in front of him was so confident, and he had doubts about what he wanted to prove, that's good, you go up and fight." Mr. Sward, if your navy proves this, then the agreement between us is still in force! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Then the next thing is to fight, so this one is ......

Who's on it? On that ship?

Because of the civil war, the navy of the United States actually had a lot of development, and it was really bad before, but then because of the blockade of the south, the navy was very important, but because of the revolution carried out by Li Mengyang in New York, it had a certain impact on the navy of the United States in some aspects.

The most advanced ship is the kind of iron-hulled ship, but this thing is very expensive, and there are not many of them, and the other thing is that because of the intervention of the British, it is almost impossible to completely blockade the south in terms of trade routes anyway, so. In recent years. The pace of shipbuilding in the United States Navy has slowed down considerably.

The main thing is that there is still no money. The country that has fought in the civil war is already stretched, and it can't kill the opponent anyway, so why build so many warships?

So, after the Battle of Vicksburg, as soon as Dahlgren's side surrendered, there were not many warships left.

Of course, this refers to the most advanced, i.e., iron-hulled ships. If you want to talk about the old-fashioned kind of sail battleships, there are still them, such as the USS Constitution!

"Officers and men of the Navy! Glorious Constitution! This is the legend of the Navy of the United States! A legend within a legend! This 'old iron armor', she will continue to create legends! Today! Our enemies turned out to be ridiculous ultimatums to us?! Soldiers! Can we say yes? Can we surrender?! ”

Sward chose the USS Constitution, a ship with a legendary story that represents the glorious history of the United States Navy!

"Of course not!"

"Absolutely not!"

The crew of the USS Constitution, whether it was a captain or an ordinary sailor, they were full of fighting spirit!

Why the Constitution?

On the one hand, this battleship really represents the history of the United States Navy, and on the other hand, it is that this ship is really very lucky. There is another reason why I have sunk the warships of the British Empire before. That's the ship is relatively old!

It's old, and this refers to the Constitution's hull, which is still made of wood, but the guns on this ship are not old at all.

Therefore, if the steel monster that uses such a ship to fight the opponent, if the ship is just a façade, fierce on the outside and nothing on the inside, then once it succeeds, or can take some advantages, then the whole situation will be reversed!

It turned out to be a fake!

And because it's 'fake', so Ward has to take the risk.

"Soldiers! I'll be with you! "Ward is out!

He had to get out of the way, because there was no way back, and if it wasn't 'fake', then what else could be said about the outcome? Earl Clarendon will run away immediately, and the foreign aid will be gone, so what else can Sward do?

So, just go for it!

In this way, New York Harbor staged a drama like David fighting the giant Goria, only to see an old sail warship with only two decks, rushing towards the steel giant on the ocean without hesitation!

"It's insane!" Count Clarendon naturally saw this with a telescope, and that's his comment, but then again, what if Ward became? That's not bad......

"Slow down! Decelerate! ”

"Turn the rudder!"

It didn't take long for the Constitution to approach the steel behemoth, and at this time, the Constitution was full of momentum.

Actually, the USS Constitution is now a training ship, which means that the guys on this ship are a bunch of recruits...... In fact, this is also an important reason why Ward chose the Constitution, the so-called, the ignorant are fearless, and these recruits are easier to fool.

But anyway, it's a gamble, and Sward is standing alone on the side of the Constitution!

"Excellent! Very good! "Sward was confident, because when it approached, the giant ship didn't react at all, which means that his guess might be correct!

So, did the USS San Francisco of the American Empire react exactly?

Matthew, Dupont, and Erickson in the "......" command room, this is just a big star, they can't understand what she is doing with a small boat in front of them!

But soon, however, it was found that the other side had turned the rudder and exposed the side guns, which meant that the ship was here to fight!

Is there anyone so idiot?

Yes, whoever sees this scene will probably think so, these two ships are too different, are you embarrassed to shoot?

Bang! Bang! Bang......

You really dare to fight!

DUANG! DUANG! DUANG!……

The Constitution was in full swing, only to hear the steel plate on the San Francisco being smashed with a loud bang, as if it were being struck with a hammer!

But!

After the smoke is over, it doesn't work at all!

That steel behemoth, it's just that some of its shells are deformed, that's all!

"......" almost instantly, the whole of New York Harbor was silent......

Buzzing...... There was only one sound, the turning of a twin-fire battery on the steel behemoth, the huge, black muzzle aimed at the Constitution...... (To be continued......)
