Chapter 84: Bloody Mary

The platform has been emptied, and at the end of the red carpet is a gorgeous horse-drawn carriage. Each of the horses pulling the cart was tall and strong, and they looked very beautiful.

Xu Zhonglin and Cato got into a four-wheeled carriage alone, and Cato seemed to know that he was not used to this: "I'm sorry, you can't be so casual at home, you can bear with it." ”

At this time, Sissi taught Xu Zhonglin: Admiral, you should offer to visit Cato's parents.

Cato's home is in a relatively secluded place outside the city, large in size, but in good order, with shade of trees, flowers, and lawns at the end of a manor. The Earl of Miroloda, a powerful admiral, was usually absent from home, and Cato's mother, Catherine, received Xu Zhonglin.

Catherine de' Medici was also an admiral, she looked twenty-five or sixteen years old, but her demeanor was graceful and luxurious, her appearance was not beautiful in Xu Zhonglin's eyes, and the lines on her face were very hard.

Under the guidance of Sissi, Xu Zhonglin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Catherine three times, and asked, "Madam, you are well, I am a friend of Cato, Xu Zhonglin, greet you." ”

Catherine understood this oriental filial piety very well, stepped forward to help him, asked about the health of his parents, and Xu Zhonglin kissed his hand again.

"Yes, what a handsome child, I believe it will charm many girls, I have prepared a welcome ball for you in the evening, I hope you will like it." Catherine was very kind, took Xu Zhonglin's hand, stroked his head, and didn't treat him as an outsider.

Xu Zhonglin nodded in agreement, and Teresa stepped forward to give a gift, which was a pair of high heels studded with diamonds. Mrs. Catherine was glad to try it on the spot, and it actually fitted perfectly, and said that she would wear it in the evening, and she looked satisfied.

Then Cato took him on a tour of the entire Fei Leng Cui, and Xu Zhonglin knew that his family was strong, and almost all of the Fei Leng Cui belonged to his family. Moreover, there have been three popes and five queens in the history of his family, which is so awesome.

The city's architecture is charming, and the highest landmark is the Cathedral of Our Lady of Fiore, which Sissi, Teresa and Lena have in mind.

The church is not open to private individuals, but with Cato's connections, it is still easy for people to enter. There is also a wall at the door, with statues of angels and saints on both sides, and around the wall, there is a wide hall, the hall of the church is rectangular like other Catholic churches, the high dome is covered with frescoes, the windows on both sides are dotted with stained glass, the hall is full of rows of wooden benches, and the innermost part is the statue of Christ's crucifixion.

Unexpectedly, there was a woman kneeling there.

Sissi gestured, and everyone stopped quietly at the door.

The woman had red hair and a red dress, she couldn't see her face, and her posture was very graceful, but Sissi frowned a little.

"What's wrong?"

"This woman is repenting, but she is wearing red clothes, which is not in line with etiquette, and I feel that this is a ship lady."

Xu Zhonglin was quite far away, and he couldn't see clearly, and when he heard that it was the ship's mother, he unconsciously looked at it with the eyes of hell.

Queen Mary Battlecruiser: Prototype ship mother, qualification S, strong combat power.

Wow! It turned out to be the Queen Mary, one of the Lion-class battlecruisers.

So Xu Zhonglin didn't care, and said to Sissi in his heart: It's an old British battle cruiser, Queen Mary!

Unexpectedly, Sissi and Teresa both reacted very much: Oh my God! It's her, my God!

Someone was a little unimpressed, Jutland was a battle cruiser with big fireworks set on by the 'Immortal Bird' Seydlitz, what is there to be surprised about? This kind of old man, even Sissi can't beat it now, right? But Sissi's mentality fluctuated a lot, and it was obviously wrong, so he asked: What's wrong? An old ship, give you ten minutes, can you sink her?

Teresa explained to him: Admiral, this is a 'Bloody Mary'!

it! It's a pretty arrogant name.

Sissi was a little panicked: Admiral, don't talk about ten minutes, none of us can beat her.

How can it be!

Sissi hurriedly explained to him: This is the case, don't look at her as just a battle cruiser, most battleships can't beat her, she is one of the most accurate ships in the world, and she can hit almost every salvo.

Every salvo must hit?! Is there such a chatter about fasting? However, a certain little white admiral did not dare to deny it, after all, this is not a normal world.

Theresa gloated a little: Admiral, you may not know, but this is the black history of the British, four hundred years ago, England was ruled by Bloody Mary and her two sisters, the Lion and the Royal Princess. These three guys are very unpopular with the policies they are promoting, and gradually the ship girls are detached. Later, it was overthrown by humans and other ship girls.

Sissi added with some solemnity: In the process of overthrowing, there was a battle between the two factions, and the lion was sunk, but the royal princess and Bloody Mary sank a dozen battleships and dozens of other warships in one go, and then fought their way out of the encirclement and disappeared from then on, I didn't expect to see her here.

It's not just fantasy, it's magic! Is it funny that two battlecruisers sank a dozen battleships of the same tonnage? A certain admiral must not believe it, thinking that it may be a myth: are the battleships that were sunk all old men?

Sissi said: In fact, because their hull is a battle cruiser, the armor is much worse than the battleship, the main reason is that the Bloody Mary their guns are too accurate, and they use high-speed artillery bombardment tactics, and other battleships can't catch up, and they have been grabbed with the T-shape, and after increasing the speed, the main guns are not accurate. Next time, you can ask Fifth Sister Qiao, she was a witness to that battle, and she was almost sunk to death. This is already very lucky, in fact, Queen Mary is called 'Bloody Mary' because she never leaves a mouth alive when she fights against anyone, and she treats her own people cruelly.

I didn't expect there to be such a thing? A certain admiral still has questions: The fifth sister has so many cannons, the tube is still large, and the firing range is long, even if the speed can't keep up, the main gun attack on the bow is not much worse, right? And it's so far away that Queen Mary can't penetrate her armor at all, right?

Sissi explained to him: No, Queen Mary's main gun is 350, and Fifth Sister Qiao's 355 is about the same, but they are really accurate.

Rena listened in fascination: And what about later?

Teresa replied to her: Later, the British wanted them for a while, but I don't know why they were revoked again, and the matter of the three sisters was no longer mentioned, I don't know why they are here, Admiral, you can ask Cato.

Yes, Cato is the head of the land, you should know: "Dude, who is this beauty?" ”

Cato didn't seem to know any of these things: "This is a good friend of my family, Lady Mary, a ship's wife, she lives near my house, but she doesn't like to talk, she often comes here alone, and she doesn't go out of the house, and when I was a child I could often run to her house, and she always sat quietly in the yard by herself, and sat all day, as if she had never moved." ”

There must be something hidden in this: "Then do you know when she came?" What did you do before? ”

Cato shook his head: "I don't know, but I've seen some pictures of my great-grandfather, and in those pictures there was Lady Mary, and my mother wouldn't let me ask more, and I don't know anything else." ”
