After nearly two months of delay, the delegation sent to Chunfanlou in Maguan finally appeared on the dock of Dalian Bay, and the British sent two frigates stationed in Hong Kong to carry the Song Dynasty negotiation delegation to the island nation of Maguan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Tempt the wicked people of the Great Song and let the Gallic Chicken do it, now John Bull still has to try to behave as gentlemanly as possible in front of the ally of the Great Song.

Due to the insistence on bringing their own vehicles for land use, the British Royal Navy had to temporarily add a frigate to carry the bulletproof vehicles that crossed the crowd. In the history of the original time and space, the incident in which Lord Zhongtang was confused by the little devil with a small smashing cannon still left a shadow in the hearts of the traversers.

To this end, Zhao Yi also added the entire S.W.A.T team to the security team of the negotiation delegation, which was seen by the rough match as a show of affection for the dog food, because his rumored girlfriend MissFox was the chief representative of the delegation.

After obtaining the "long-range artillery precision fire technology" provided by the Crossing Public, the warships under the command of Colonel Percy Scott made considerable progress in the application of this technology, for which he was promoted to the position of commander of the fleet in Hong Kong.

This time, the task of escorting the Great Song Dynasty negotiation delegation to the island country of Maguan did not need to be carried out by him, the commander, himself. However, Colonel Percy Scott was not willing to miss any opportunity to get up close and personal with the officers of the Great Song Dynasty, and the last time he came to Dalian Bay with a delegation of Royal Navy officers, he was given the opportunity to be promoted to Fleet Commander, and the new commander thought that there would always be something to be gained from coming into contact with the Great Song people who had mastered advanced techniques and tactics.

As for the politicians' frivolous speculations about the Great Song Empire, Colonel Percy Scott scoffed at it. Those politicians simply don't know anything about the navy, and the "century-old navy" doesn't talk about it. Can a weak empire raise a sea force far superior to the Royal Navy of the British Empire in terms of technical and tactical level?

Hmph, those politicians should come to see the drills of the Royal Marines of the Great Song Dynasty on the beach, as long as they are not fools, they can see what kind of fleet support is needed behind that kind of landing operation! Maybe the Great Song Empire is still a little behind the British Empire in terms of the number of warships, but their warships must be no weaker than the British Royal Navy in terms of quality! Colonel Percy Scott thought to himself as he looked at the various Great Song equipment that was being hoisted onto his own warship.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Commander, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, we have to be fully prepared for the safety of the delegation." One of Zhao, who came to see him off, said to Colonel Percy Scott.

"Your Royal Highness, I understand your concerns, after all, in the several clashes with those dwarves in the east, your army has really beaten them too badly, and it is normal for you to be cautious. Not to mention the fact that this beautiful lady was also in the delegation, and I personally believe that it would not be an exaggeration to send even a fleet to ensure her safety. Percy Scott knew that Zhao Yi's current military rank was only captain, and directly referred to him as a prince as speculated by the outside world.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is only an officer and a soldier in the army." Zhao Yi smiled and pointed to his epaulettes.

Acquiescing to Zhao's status as a prince is a resolution voted by the Interim Executive Committee. Although Zhao Yi was somewhat resistant to this resolution, considering the impact on the indigenous people of China, the other people felt the need to establish such a mascot as a member of the royal family in Liaodong. In fact, the effect of this is very significant, and if the news spreads directly, it has led to a large number of natives who want to join the dragon's work.

"Miss Fox, His Majesty the Great Song Emperor is really harsh on his children, and with His Royal Highness's military exploits, he should be given a decent position in the army." After Zhao Yiyi left, Colonel Percy Scott said to MissFox.

"Our empire has always adhered to the iron law that there are only soldiers and officers in the army, and in fact, this captain was once a private who carried artillery shells, and the rank of captain was not undignified for him." MissFox wasn't lying, Zhao Yi was a private-rank loader when he first entered the Dome Light Curtain.

"It's easy to see why you can easily beat down those Oriental dwarfs, whose armies are filled with a large number of idle Chinese officers. And you will only give people titles according to their ability, even if you are a prince, when he is only equipped to carry cannonballs, he can only be an honest private. Percy Scott said with deep feeling.

Colonel Percy Scott really couldn't imagine a prince carrying cannonballs, but as the commander of His Royal Highness, he would only send His Royal Highness to the galley of the warship, even if he had the military regulations to use people according to his ability.

Because at the end of the 19th century, whether it was the navy or the army, carrying artillery shells was an extremely dangerous job! Not to mention that whether on a warship or on land, artillery is always the focus of the opponent's attack, and in terms of the safety of artillery shells in this era, Colonel Percy Scott himself did not have the courage to put His Royal Highness the Prince in that post.

How much heart does His Royal Highness's former boss have to dare to arrange His Majesty the Emperor's heart and soul to that post! However, this also happens to prove that in the Great Song Empire, military regulations were strictly enforced by officers, and there was no such thing as military regulations on paper, which was a manifestation of the strength of the army, Colonel Percy Scott thought to himself.

"Miss Fox, I heard that you are interested in reselling that Manchu cruiser captured by the Japanese?" Colonel Percy Scott was probing MissFox.

"Yes, that kind of cruiser with low speed and slow gun rate of fire is of little use to us, it can't even keep up with the speed of our fleet's cruise, and selling it is the best way to deal with it. It's just that the buyer wants us to provide the corresponding supporting training, which is difficult for us, God, where are we going to get a naval instructor who can operate such a backward warship! "MissFox is going to pretend to be a lady who loves to chatter in the salon.

"Miss Fox, the speed of the fleet is generally not too fast when cruising, and although the cruiser made by the Germans is not fast, it should be able to keep up with your fleet if it is moving at full speed." Colonel Percy Scott seems to be giving MissFox a science about the Navy, but in fact he is spying on the intelligence of the Great Song Royal Navy.

"I don't know about this, I just heard from the officers of the navy that this kind of cruiser with a maximum speed of less than 20 knots can't even see the waves rolled up by the fleet, so if you sell it, you can sell it. Actually, I don't know how fast 20 knots is, you know, I've only ever been on a yacht, and I've always taken a plane for long trips. MissFox flickered according to a script designed by a professional.

"In fact, it is not the best choice to increase the speed by sacrificing armor, especially after the opponents of your navy in the future have adopted the artillery firing technology from your navy, the tactics of your navy that used to use high speed to open up the distance are likely to fail to achieve the previous goal of reducing the probability of being shot." Colonel Percy Scott continued.

After hearing MissFox reveal that the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty was equipped with warships with extremely high speed, Colonel Percy Scott guessed that the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty should have adopted a tactic similar to flying a kite to fight, and the high speed could widen the distance between the enemy ships and the enemy, and in the past, only the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty had mastered the technology of long-distance accurate artillery bombardment, and others were gambling on character when they fired at that distance, and only they were fighting for technology.

But since the Great Song people have sold this long-range artillery precision shooting technology to Britain and Germany, they probably won't use the previous tactics anymore. However, in Colonel Percy Scott's cognition, there is no other way to increase the speed of the warship except to sacrifice the armor of the warship, and the displacement of the ship is limited, which leads to the fact that the volume of the steam engine on the warship cannot be expanded indefinitely, so the power provided by the steam engine cannot be increased indefinitely, and the only way to increase the speed of the warship is to reduce the armor.

"Reduced armor? The armor of the warships of the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty that I have seen is thicker than the cruiser parked in Lushun. MissFox put on a bewildered expression.

Hearing MissFox's answer, it was Colonel Percy Scott's turn to enter a state of confusion, not to reduce armor!? Is your fleet going to heaven?
