266 Be a father of all kinds
"Warriors of Britain, I know what you are afraid of. James stood under the huge mainmast, and with one hand he dragged the cable hanging from the mast, and stepped on two huge barrels to make a speech to everyone:
"Half a century ago, a Lord, also born in the Royal Navy, said before the battle that England expects everyone to do their duty. It was in that battle that we defeated the invincible Gallic chicken. ”
"Three months ago, we stormed the capital of the oldest and most powerful empire in the Far East. The warriors of England have paralyzed the enemy emperor in their chairs, and have rightfully brought all the treasures of the summer palace back to their own homes!"
"And today, we are facing the legends of the sea that have disappeared for twenty years. Today, a day to remember, we are going to challenge three wrecked ships that were old and old a hundred years ago. We must completely crush the myth of the Empress of the Seven Seas, and victory will surely belong to the Royal Navy. ”
The sailors on deck were also whispering: "What is this fool talking about? ”
"I don't know, it seems to be a myth and legend from twenty years ago. The other sailor replied in a low voice, "Twenty years ago I was eleven years old, and I had just been apprenticed to a shoe shop, and who knows what he meant?"
"I seem to have heard that twenty years ago, on this trade route between East and West, there was a legend of an ageless witch. There is a witch named the Empress of the Seven Seas, who collects taxes on every merchant ship that passes, and any fleet that dares to resist taxes will be wiped out. ”
Someone whispered about their own gossip, but everyone showed a disapproving look on their faces.
Twenty years is not a long time, but it is enough to make the old generation grow old and the new generation of sailors to grow up. The new generation of sailors has not experienced the fear of being dominated by the Empress of the Seven Seas, and naturally does not tremble as much as Powell, nor do they take these legends to heart.
"Show the enemy our courage," James roared, "this is England's unsinkable Dreadnought!
Everyone understood this sentence, and the sailors immediately returned to their posts and made preparations for the war in an orderly manner.
James' flagship was a typical 74-gun battleship, named after the fact that the entire ship had at least 74 cannons.
Although they are also wooden structure ships, the waterline of the 74-gun battleship is wood-clad copper, which has stronger anti-sinking ability. And more advanced steel artillery and flowering shells were used.
Compared to the bronze naval guns of the Empress of the Seven Seas fleet hundreds of years ago, it has a longer range and is more powerful. In terms of strength, the two sides are compared, like a strong adult planning to bully a child.
The firing holes of the gun compartments were opened, and all the cannons were put into standby.
Powell, who has regained his senses, takes the helm himself, vowing to wash away his shame of being frightened by the Empress of the Seven Seas.
After all, he was an old captain for many years, and after identifying the direction of the ocean current and the direction of the wind, he immediately commanded the fleet to seize the advantageous position of the T-shape.
All that remains to do is wait for the Empress of the Seven Seas' flagship to sail into its best range, and try to wipe out this myth and legend that has been lying on the sea for years with a single attack.
At the same time, on the opposite ship, the Gu family sisters were discussing countermeasures.
"Sister, look, those people on the other side are so fierce. Gu Yao pointed to the fleets lined up on the sea in the distance, and she pouted and complained to her sister: "The sea elves said that those bad guys want to fight Yaoyao. But Yaoyao didn't do anything bad, why did they want to beat people?"
At the end, the little guy was very aggrieved and added: "Even my father didn't beat me." ”
"Hehehe, don't worry, my sister has already seen the action over there. Gu Yao let out a sneer, rolled up his sleeves and said menacingly: "Dare to bully my sister in front of Meng Meng?
"No one should stop Meng Meng, it's useless for Dad to intercede! ”
[The high-energy reaction in the eldest princess's body was detected, and the system was activated autonomously. This costume is recommended for Her Royal Highness the princess to dissipate her anger, and these things that offend the invincible dragon can be handed over to the adults. 】
"It's been three days, when will Dad come here?" Gu Meng stomped her feet hard, and she said with an angry face: "Let Mengmeng watch outsiders bully her sister, this is absolutely not good!"
[You can choose to avoid the edge for the time being, Lord Invincible Dragon is dealing with some troublesome things, and it will take some time to rush over. 】
"Hmph, one day I'm going to tear down your system that restricts cuteness from getting into trouble. Gu Meng put down her hand angrily, she turned her head to Gu Yao and said, "Tell your friends in the sea, let's take a detour, the farther away from these villains, the better." ”
---
"Look, Lord Duke, the enemy has retreated. Seeing the Empress of the Seven Seas' fleet turn around, Powell was so happy that he almost wanted to sing, "The Empress of the Seven Seas, who was once invincible at sea, has retreated under the threat of our force. ”
James narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Since this is the case, then completely shatter their myths." Pass my orders and immediately chase down and sink the flagship of the Empress of the Seven Seas. Their ships are not as fast as we are, and we will be able to accomplish this before nightfall tonight. ”
"By the way, before attacking them, send a message with the flag. If they are willing to stop the ship and surrender, they will return to London with us to stand trial. We can choose not to use the means of sinking by force. ”
Soon, the flag was already being sent.
In order to attract the attention of the other side, James also specially ordered the ships to fire warning shots at the enemy fleet.
The flowering bomb exploded on the surface of the sea next to the enemy fleet, splashing several meters high.
"These people are so hateful, they dare to threaten Meng Meng with force!" Although I didn't feel the power of the flowering bullet, the sudden loud noise made the little girl go crazy.
She said to Gu Yao: "My sister gets on another boat and goes first." No matter when Dad comes, Meng Meng has to beat these villains first. ”
"Mom said that to be a man, you must first bow and then soldier. Gu Yao shook her head firmly: "If you think of using violence to solve things when you encounter them, what's the difference between you and your father?
"Okay, for my sister's sake, Yaoyao will give you ten minutes first. Gu Meng, who aspires to be a good sister, slowly calmed down her anger under the persuasion of her sister: "How are you going to talk to them?"
"With the projection of the sea spirit," the little guy pointed to the battleship behind him: "Sister, look, there is also a sea spirit turned Yaoyao standing over there." She would do the same thing as me, and Yaoyao would hear her when the people over there spoke to her. ”
"Wait a minute, there's something Meng Meng has to tell you clearly. Gu Meng said very seriously: "You are now negotiating with others on behalf of the Gu family on behalf of your father, no matter how difficult the negotiation process is, you must be reasonable, evidence-based and responsible." It is necessary to behave appropriately, thoroughly reflect the fine family style of the Gu family, and reflect the bearing and temperament of the father. ”
"You must not lose the face of the Gu family! You must not lose your father's face!"
At the same time, on James's flagship, a little girl composed of sea water suddenly appeared, looking exactly like the legendary Queen of the Seven Seas.
Before James could come back to her senses, she spoke in extremely fluent London accent: "Good morning, everyone, Yaoyao has come with peaceful sincerity to seek the possibility of a peaceful solution to this matter. ”
As soon as he said this, the little guy suddenly stopped.
After more than ten seconds, she nodded as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Sister's meaning Yaoyao understands." Reflect your father's demeanor during the negotiation process. Uh, Yaoyao retracted what she had just said, and now uses a father-style negotiation plan-"
"Empress Ben now solemnly declares that everything in this fleet has been requisitioned by the Empress of the Blue Hornet. ”
"You stupid and lowly groundhogs, will you get out of the boat yourself, or will my men break you to pieces and throw you off the ship?"
