The eight 'Northern Song Class' battleships of the Imperial Navy completed the showman's artillery bombardment and then quickly left. That's right, this is a showy shelling, in fact, in real combat, it is impossible for a battleship of the Imperial Navy to shoot directly like this. After all, after the encounter between the capital ships of both sides, in order to seize a more advantageous position, the fleet will chase on the sea, approach in the temptation again and again, and then start shelling.

In addition, in order to ensure the accuracy of the shelling, heavy cruisers and light cruisers would catapult seaplanes, providing the battleship with an equal number of impact points. In the beginning, the Imperial Navy used airships for calibration. Now, with the advancement of aircraft technology, the Imperial Navy has now begun to provide naval firing for warships with water aircraft.

Avoid, because the plane is the secret weapon of the Empire. Even if the European countries already knew about it, they thought that the empire was just using airplanes as a weapon for reconnaissance, and they didn't think much about it. Once the war broke out and the Empire's air and naval aviation were in full swing, the Holy Alliance would know how wrong they were.

After the eight 'Northern Song Class' battleships of the Imperial Navy left, the members of the missions of various countries on the cruise ship Royal Princess still looked dumbfounded. Many of them saw the battleship firing live ammunition for the first time, and this shocking scene was enough for them to never forget. In particular, each of these battleships that appeared was incomparably huge, like a hill floating on the sea. This undoubtedly shocked everyone even more.

"Oh God! It's simply spectacular! Castel, the servant of the Kingdom of Spain, said dumbfounded. He suddenly felt that he wanted to express his sense of zài, which seemed to be a little too idiotic. In the face of such a powerful Chinese empire. The Kingdom of Spain was destined to be the youngest brother.

"Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, this is the battleship of the Imperial Chinese Navy? It's huge. The displacement is more than 30,000 tons, right? Francisco I, King of the Kingdom of Scotland, asked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 'Northern Song Dynasty-class' battleship that the Imperial Navy has just equipped. It is also the most powerful battleship of the Empire to date. The Northern Song Dynasty class battleships had a displacement of 30,000 tons and were armed with three triple 356-mm guns. Whether it is defense or firepower, it is now the leading main battleship. The Imperial Navy has built eight 'Northern Song Class' battleships at one time, which will become the strongest warship to safeguard the Empire's overseas interests! Wei Yuan introduced to everyone with a smile on his face. From everyone's faces, he knew that this time the plan had been successful. The powerful warships of the Imperial Navy gave these people a great shock. Presumably, they should have a deeper understanding of the strength of the empire!

"Oh God! It's really a 30,000-ton battleship. I guess there is no other country that can compare with it, right? Queen Isabella II also exclaimed. Although, the Kingdom of Spain ordered four 'Tang-class' battleships from the Chinese Empire. But. Those four are all 'early Tang Dynasty-class' battleships, with a full load displacement of 26,000 tons, and the main guns they carry are also three triple 343 mm main guns, which seems to be a little worse than these 'Northern Song Dynasty-class' battleships! Isabella II suddenly felt that the Kingdom of Spain should also be equipped with this advanced battleship.

"The 'Northern Song Dynasty-class' battleship is just one of the new warships of the Imperial Navy, and in the second half of the year, the eight 'Southern Song Dynasty-class' battleships of the Imperial Navy will also be put into service." The Southern Song Dynasty-class battleships were an improved version of the Northern Song Dynasty-class battleships. The comprehensive combat power is even stronger, and it is also eight. By next year, the Imperial Navy will have eight more 'Ming-class' battleships in service. The 'Ming-class' battleships are even more powerful, and the main guns on board will be 381 mm guns! Any battleship of the enemy. They will all be torn to shreds by the Empire's 'Ming-class' battleships! Wei Yuan said proudly. Anyway, the Germans were also very clear about the shipbuilding plan of the Imperial Navy, and the Reich was not afraid of leaking secrets. Able to put more pressure on the Germans. It would be best if they were to increase their investment at sea.

"Oh my God! So many advanced battleships. Can the Holy Alliance really stand up to the Chinese Empire? Almost everyone exclaimed. The navy of the Chinese Empire will have 24 powerful battleships in service this year and next year alone. Although the German navy was also becoming more and more powerful. But compared to the Chinese Empire, it is undoubtedly too rubbish. In everyone's minds, a decision has already been made. Obviously, the strength of the Chinese Empire is a little stronger, and if you stand on the side of the Chinese Empire, you have a better chance of winning!

"Damn the Chinese, how can they have so many powerful warships? The Ottoman Turkish Navy is not at all comparable to it! If the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire were enemies, wouldn't it be wiped out soon? "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha's heart was already overwhelming. Although, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's naval strength was also getting stronger, and in addition to the two 'Western Han-class' battleships and three 'Qin-class' battleships originally ordered from the Chinese Empire, they also ordered four 'Brandenburg-class' battleships and two 'Caesar-class' battleships from Germany. Frederick III class battleship. Among them, four 'Brandenburg-class' battleships have been delivered in the first half of this year. The other two 'Caesars. Frederick III's class battleships will also be delivered in the second half of the year.

When the four 'Brandenburg-class' battleships entered service with the Ottoman Imperial Navy, Sultan Abdul. Mejid I proudly claimed that the Ottoman Empire had a truly formidable navy. They would also spare no effort to develop their navy, turning the Ottoman Empire into a maritime power.

But now it seems that the powerful navy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire is not comparable to the Chinese Empire at all. Not to mention anything else, the eight 'Northern Song Dynasty-class' battleships that appeared in front of you just now are enough to send all the capital ships of the Ottoman Imperial Turkish Navy to the bottom of the sea! Not to mention, there were many other advanced battleships in the Imperial Chinese Navy.

Mustafa. Lester. Pasha suddenly had an idea that the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire were against each other, and that seemed to be looking for death! For the sake of their own interests, the Ottoman Turkish Empire should still join the side of the Chinese Empire. But how to convince Abdul. Mejid I, as well as the other top echelons of the empire, was undoubtedly a great problem.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the Kingdom of Spain wants to be able to order the 'Ming-class' battleships, I wonder if it can?" Queen Isabella II immediately said. After Wei Yuan learned from Wei Yuan's mouth that the empire would serve the more powerful 'Ming-class' battleships next year, she moved her mind.

"Her Majesty, the price of the 'Ming-class' battleships is very expensive. In addition, the empire felt that the financial resources of the Kingdom of Spain should now be tilted towards the army, which was the most important thing in the next war! Wei Yuan said with a smile.

Queen Isabella II nodded and said nothing. She knew that what Wei Yuan said was right. In the next war, both the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium will be attacked by the German Empire, and they will indeed need to resist the Germans on land. Only in this way will their country be able to continue to exist, and it will also leave a foothold for the Chinese Empire in Europe. Otherwise, once their territory is occupied by the Germans, then after the arrival of reinforcements from the Chinese Empire, I am afraid that they will have to fight a difficult landing battle.

The appearance of the eight 'Northern Song Dynasty-class' battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy shocked the members of the missions of various countries. But at the same time, it also deepened their confidence. Even the representatives of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which had been inclined to support the Holy Alliance, were shaken in their hearts.

On the afternoon of April 11, the Royal Princess arrived in Huaxia, the capital of the empire. Here they were warmly welcomed. Countless people of the empire spontaneously came to welcome them. With the continuous improvement of cultural literacy, the people of the empire already have a clear understanding of the outside world. The formation of the Holy Alliance, led by the German Empire, made the people of the empire feel a great threat. They knew that these monarchs and members of the missions from European countries would become allies of the empire. So, they came to welcome them sincerely. After all, if these allies are at the front, the children of the empire will die less.

Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao and the ministers of the cabinet, as well as the chief of the general staff of the military, personally greeted them at the docks, much to the satisfaction of the visiting monarchs. Although the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Long Yufei, was not present. After all, Long Yufei's status is more noble, and it is understandable that he did not come in person.

The missions of various countries were housed in a garden on the edge of the palace, which was specially used to receive the monarchs or heads of state of other countries. The Chinese-style garden made these foreign monarchs very fond of it.

That evening, Emperor Long Yufei held a grand dinner in the palace to welcome everyone. In addition to the monarchs and embassies of various countries, the important ministers of the empire and representatives of various classes also attended this banquet. The number of people attending the entire banquet reached hundreds.

Before the banquet began, Emperor Long Yufei made a speech.

"Friends from afar, thank you for coming to the Chinese Empire. As we all know, the Chinese Empire is a peace-loving country, and we want the world to live in peace. However, a new crisis has emerged. Someone will challenge the empire-dominated world order. Here, I would like to tell you that these challenges are doomed to fail! Empire, will be the best victor!
