PS: There will be an update in the evening.

————

The huge British Home Fleet and the Avant-garde were smoothly merged, and the commander of the British Home Fleet, Jericho, also boarded the battleship Avantgarde.

Jericho was on the deck of the Avantgarde and saw the Red Police sailors drinking coffee and eating bread and cheese.

Jericho was a little surprised and a little curious when he saw these Red Police sailors who were still very gentlemanly and elegantly eating under the guns of British sailors.

As reported directly by Gerald, the sailors were all Asian in appearance and complexion, and each of them was very energetic, and did not see any loss or panic at gunpoint.

Jericho didn't ask anything, if it was as the sailors said, someone would soon come to greet them, and his inner curiosity would always be satisfied.

Gerald was about to welcome Jericho to his lounge for a rest when British sailors spotted a group of warships approaching in the distance on the mast of the Avantgarde.

The binoculars were sent to the hands of the two British generals, and the fleet in the distance appeared in their eyes, and at the same time as seeing the fleet, the two put down the binoculars for the first time and looked at each other, and they could clearly read the look of surprise in their eyes.

The fleet coming in the distance was a fleet of not small size, but not large either.

Not small means that there are a lot of ships in this fleet, and it is not big that this fleet only has a combat ship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons in the middle, and the others are all small warships, and there are no giant guns on the ships that can threaten the British Royal Navy.

Nearly 20 warships, three-quarters are about 2,000 tons of sea scorpion, in the era of battleships, this kind of destroyer basically has no combat capability against the ship, the guns on it are also small caliber, and compared with the guns equipped by various countries on the warships of this class, in the eyes of these warships, although the number of guns is very large, but the caliber is very small, the largest one is a twin 105 mm main gun.

The other first-class battleships, with a displacement of almost 5,000 tons, are equipped with three triple main guns, but the caliber is only 155 mm, and the caliber of various secondary guns cannot be found to be more than 100 mm.

The largest cruiser, the shape is even more peculiar, it looks like it should have a displacement of 15,000 tons, a length of more than 100 meters, two triple 280 mm guns in the bow, a knapsack turret looks trendy, and a large number of secondary guns, but behind the bridge, there is a large flat deck, on the smooth and flat deck, sprayed with four cross-shaped symbols.

On the flat deck near the bridge, there is also a cabin that should be able to hold some large items.

The opponent's warship made the two experienced British generals feel extremely strange.

The shape of the battleship is completely different from this era, and it is full of freshness.

And the flags hoisted by the other side, which have never been seen, are obviously not warships of various countries at all, and countries will not design such warships.

In terms of firepower, such a warship simply cannot achieve any superiority, let alone victory, in the navies of other countries.

The fleet approached step by step with a signal light, and the British home fleet also responded to the signal light and allowed it to approach.

At this time, the people on the British home fleet also clearly saw that on the opposing battleship, one by one sailors wearing white uniforms, began to line up on the deck, standing neatly on both sides of the warship.

The neat formation, lined up around the deck of the battleship, made the British sailors shine one after another, this kind of action is not only a friendly gesture, but also can feel the heroic posture of the opposing sailors.

If you combine it with the slowly raised flags on each warship, the colorful flags fluttering on the warship are more like a greeting etiquette.

"Commander, they seem to be greeting us." Gerald said to Jericho.

"It seems that people really have no ill will towards us, very gentlemanly." Jericho said.

When the warships of the two sides were only 100 meters apart, the first anti-submarine formation of the Navy also stopped to prevent the warships from approaching and colliding.

At the same time, a small speedboat was also put down on the ship, and the British sailors on the Avant-garde could clearly see that many officers on the other side were approaching the avant-garde in this small boat.

A few minutes later, the dinghy slowly approached the side of the Avantgarde, and the Avantgarde lowered the soft ladder, and the officers climbed up to the deck of the Avantgarde in turn.

Jericho straightened out his military uniform and introduced himself: "Jericho, commander of the Home Fleet of the British Royal Navy. ”

A young man in the crowd stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Ling Han, commander of the first anti-submarine formation. ”

The officers of both sides were then introduced, and then the conversation went straight to the point.

"General Ling Han, can you explain your detailed identity? IMHO, it is impossible for that ancient empire in the East to have a navy like yours. Jericho asked directly.

"General Jericho, I don't have the right to tell us who we are." Ling Han shook his head and said.

Jericho's face was a little unhappy, and before he could speak, Ling Han continued: "However, regarding our identity, I believe that His Majesty the King of England will also tell General Jericho in the future, and we are inconvenient to say more." ”

"But our king doesn't know who you are, because he's more curious than anyone else, your mysterious navy." Jericho said.

Ling Han said: "In fact, our Supreme Commander will meet the king of your country in two hours, and our Supreme Commander also has a knighthood in the United Kingdom. ”

When Jericho heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Count Fan Yize? ”

Ling Han nodded lightly and said, "Yes, he is our supreme leader. ”

"I had a meeting with Mr. Fan a few months ago, it was at my British King's banquet, and we were very curious at that time, it was indeed very puzzling that a Chinese would be made an earl by England, or hereditary. But now it seems that the Earl is really mysterious. ”

Jericho's inner guard has been lowered a lot, the other party is also a British nobleman anyway, and the relationship with King George V seems to be very good, at this point, the other party is indeed more of a friend than an enemy.

Jericho paused, then asked, "But what makes me curious, who are you fighting against?" ”
