After participating in that banquet, Wu Haoxuan directly refused the invitation to the British banquet. Anyway, when he went to those banquets, he was just treated as a transparent person. In addition, the serious playfulness and contempt of those Europeans made him unacceptable.

Wu Haoxuan had already expected the white eyes that he might encounter on this trip to Europe. He didn't care, though. It was inevitable that such a situation would arise before the empire was truly strong. But once the empire rises to become a truly top world power, these Europeans will only be able to look up to the empire.

Over the next two days, Wu Haoxuan, along with others, visited some of London's attractions. In particular, the British Museum has become a key place for Wu Haoxuan to visit. In this museum, there are many cultural relics looted by the British from China through wars in the past few decades since the Opium War. These relics, as if they were trophies of the British, show the great strength of the British.

Of course, it is undoubtedly a shame for the original owners of these cultural relics. The cultural relics of their own country are now being robbed alive. Anyone with backbone will probably have the ambition to snatch these cultural relics back.

Similarly, Wu Haoxuan has such ambitions in his heart. When he left the British Empire Museum, he secretly made up his mind that he must bring back all these cultural relics that belonged to the empire. At the same time, there is also the glory of the empire!

On the morning of June 23, 4609 (11), the coronation ceremony of King George V of England was held at Buckingham Palace, and heavyweights were sent from all over the world to attend the ceremony. The whole ceremony was very solemn, and the strength of the British Empire was demonstrated everywhere.

When the Protestant archbishop blessed George V on behalf of God and put a crown on him. The ceremony undoubtedly reached its climax. Countless Britons rejoiced, their faces full of excitement and their smiles of joy overflowing. Although Queen Elizabeth, who once led the British Empire to glory, has passed away, her heirs. Continue to lead the country to strength.

"Thank God and may God bless the British Empire. The British Empire will always be strong! George V announced loudly to his subjects.

"Hooray! Long live the King, long live the British Empire! "The Englishmen who were watching the ceremony were crazy.

However, in the places where the guests from various countries are, many people secretly pout. Germany's Crown Prince Wilhelm whispered to Wu Haoxuan: "The British Empire has been the world hegemon for too long. The world system they built is already rotten. The future is up to us. I hope that the Chinese Empire will be among the countries that will dominate the world in the future. This was an opportunity for the Chinese Empire. I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not miss this opportunity. ”

After Crown Prince William finished speaking, he looked at Wu Haoxuan, as if waiting for his statement. It's just that his appearance made Wu Haoxuan a little unhappy, as if he was giving alms.

From Crown Prince William's words, Wu Haoxuan could clearly feel his ambition. Or rather, this was the ambition of the German Reich. The German Empire had long had ambitions to replace the British Empire's world hegemony. Merely. How could the British easily give up the throne of the world hegemon? Without experiencing a war like a life-and-death struggle, world hegemons will not alternate.

Merely. Crown Prince William looked like he was winning, which made Wu Haoxuan very unhappy. Could it be that the Germans thought they would win? In the future, it is still unknown who will win the battle. Although Germany was strong, the British were not weak either. Not to mention. The Germans led a bunch of pig teammates. And the teammates of the British, all of them are not weak. In addition, the United States on the other side of the ocean may intervene, which makes the outcome of this war unpredictable. Of course, the so-called uncertainty of victory or defeat is for others. For Wu Haoxuan. Germany is 100 percent unlikely to win. Under such circumstances, the Chinese Empire could no longer afford to be in the company of the losers.

"Your Royal Highness, let's talk about this later." Wu Haoxuan did not answer directly.

Crown Prince William nodded, but a hint of unhappiness flashed in his eyes. In the face of his repeated invitations, the Chinese prince did not express his position, which obviously did not give him face! As the crown prince of the German Empire, the future emperor. Crown Prince William has always held himself in high regard. For the Chinese Empire, he has never looked at it. It is believed that the successful rise of the Chinese Empire was to get rid of the end of becoming a colony. Entirely because of the help of Germany. Germany, however, provided the Chinese Empire with a large number of loans and technology. Otherwise, how could the Chinese Empire have won in successive wars? Therefore, the Germans have always said that China is regarded as a country that they have supported and should be on the same side as them.

The coronation was soon over, followed by a massive meeting. The British high society, representatives from various countries who came to watch the ceremony, everyone at the banquet staggered, smiling.

"Your Highness, that's the Japanese. That little boy is Hirohito, the crown prince of Japan. He and the Russian crown prince seem to be having a good time. Tang Shaoyi said to Wu Haoxuan beside him.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, and after Emperor Taisho ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, Hirohito became the crown prince. However, the current Hirohito is only ten years old. This time, the coronation of King George V, Japan, as an ally of Britain, will obviously send someone to attend. Hirohito, as the crown prince, is undoubtedly the best representative.

Although, at the same time the yellow race. But the Chinese Empire and the Japanese Empire were enemies of life and death. After the defeat of the Chinese Empire, Japan regained its grip on the thick thighs of the British and received a lot of support from the British. This has brought the relationship between Britain and Japan directly into the honeymoon period.

The coronation ceremony, in fact, is not what everyone expected. What everyone is really looking forward to is tomorrow's parade. After the British Empire became the hegemon of the sea, it held many ship parades to show the powerful force of the British Empire.

Immediately after the lunchtime banquet, the British side arranged for the guests sent from various countries to be sent to the train to the Portsmouth military port. The parade will take place at the Portsmouth military port. The main naval forces of the British Empire were already concentrated there. In addition to the ships of the Royal Navy, the warships sent to Britain by various countries will also be reviewed. For example, the battlecruiser "Longyao" of the Chinese Navy, the battleship "Nassau" of the German Navy, the battleship "Delaware" of the US Navy, the armored cruiser "Azuma" of the Japanese Navy, and so on.

On the morning of June 24, 4609 (11) of the Yellow Emperor Era, the wind and the sun were beautiful. The sea is calm and the seabirds fly freely. In the Portsmouth military port, there are masts like a forest. The main forces of the Royal Navy of the British Empire have long been assembled here.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the parade officially began. George V, who has been crowned, first addressed the officers of the Royal Navy. It has only one content: to remember the proud heritage of the Royal Navy and to look forward to the future.

George V claimed that the British Empire, now under unprecedented challenges, was being challenged like never before. However, he believed that the heroic Royal Navy would be able to win the war, just like the Battle of Trafalgar in history. Provide a solid guarantee for the strength of the British Empire.

Crown Prince Wilhelm was always smiling, even though he knew that George V's enemy was the German Empire. However, he was unimpressed. Although, he had to admit, the British navy was very strong, even stronger than the current German navy. But he believes it will only be temporary. The German Navy was desperately trying to catch up. It won't be long before the German Navy will be able to overtake the British Navy.

After George V's speech, the parade at sea officially began. One after another, huge warships sailed past the viewing platform. The first ship to pass by the viewing platform was the battleship Dreadnought. Although, the battleship 'Dreadnought' was not the most powerful capital ship in active service in the British Navy. However, as an iconic battleship that ushered in the era of dreadnoughts, the battleship 'Dreadnought' is undoubtedly very important.

The 'Dreadnought' was followed by two of the British Navy's newest 'Giant-class' battleships, followed by the 'Neptune', three 'St. Vincent' and three 'Bellerophon' battleships. These ten battleships formed the backbone of the Royal Navy.

After the battleship detachment sailed by, there was the battle cruiser detachment of the British Navy. Including the lead ship of the 'Indefatigable' class battleship, the 'Indefatigable' battleship, and three 'Invincibility-class' battleships. In total, they were to build a total of ten battle cruisers in the plans of the British Navy. Including three 'Invincible' class battlecruisers, three 'Indefatigable' class battlecruisers and four 'Lion-class' battlecruisers. In the end, the fourth ship of the 'Lion-class' battlecruiser, the 'Tiger' battlecruiser, can be regarded as almost an independent first class.

After the battle cruiser detachment, there was the former dreadnought formation of the British Navy. Although, the advent of the dreadnought made the former dreadnought have fallen. But the number of former dreadnoughts in active service in the British Navy is nearly fifty. Over the past two decades, it was these former dreadnoughts that guaranteed the British Empire's position as the world hegemon. Until now, dreadnoughts are still the only top maritime powers that can be equipped. Many countries, not even former dreadnoughts. These old former dreadnoughts are still a very important force for the British Empire.

The former dreadnoughts were followed by a large number of armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. There are more than a hundred of them. (To be continued.) )
