Chapter 513: English Channel, Dawn of the Empire! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

Dawn on April 28, 1833, the entrance to the west side of the English Channel.

When the first rays of the morning sun shine from the eastern sky and fall on the rolling sea, a scene that shocks everyone appears!

It's everyone!

Including the officers and sailors of the British Royal Navy, the French Navy, the Rakshasa Navy and the crew of the civilian ships passing by who witnessed this famous scene at this moment, as well as everyone who saw this scene from the video pictures in the future, they couldn't help but gasp or let out a heartfelt admiration!

Look, this is the dawn of the Celestial Empire!

At this moment, the ocean surface of the English Channel is covered with large and small warships, row after row, column, mighty, magnificent, the total number is as high as hundreds! On every warship, there are blood-colored red flags on display, and the sun and moon national flags are flying!

And all these warships are now subordinate to the Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Navy!

That's right, it's just that the Atlantic Fleet, one of the three major fleets of the Ming Navy, has already made the entire Western world shudder. If the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Ming Navy are called, I am afraid that the "small ditch" of the English Channel will not be enough for them.

Moreover, now the Ming warships that have entered the English Channel like a parade ship are not only many, but also very strong!

Among them, there are three Da Zhou-class battleships with a full row of 37,000 tons, six of the smaller Shihuang-class battleships, three Wuzhongwang-class battle cruisers, and seven smaller hero-class (heroic) ones, and the total tonnage of these 20 battleships and battle cruisers alone is hundreds of thousands of tons, and the total tonnage of all the navies of most power-level countries does not have this number!

In addition to these 20 battleships and battle cruisers that scared individuals to death, there are 12 other aircraft carriers that the Atlantic Fleet has put forward to frighten today! Among them, there are 6 Guangdong-class fleet aircraft carriers and 6 Liaodong-class escort aircraft carriers - that is, the 6 in Dezhou Haizi.

The so-called Texas Sea was originally the Caribbean Detachment of the Ming Navy in the name of the Texas Japanese Overseas Chinese Self-Defense Force. After the opening of the Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Navy, they were not installed, and were directly awarded the number of the 7th Fleet of the Ming Navy. And Texas Bay was also leased to Daming, which, like Guantánamo Bay, is the base of the Atlantic Fleet of the Daming Navy.

And in order to make up this famous scene of the Ming Navy marching into the English Channel, Zhuge Weidao also pulled all the family resources of the 7th Fleet this time. There are also dozens of frigate carriers, second-class cruisers, armored destroyers, heavy mine destroyers, and camouflaged and broken cruisers (transport ships)!

These warships, together with more than 100 cutting-edge warships that have entered the Atlantic Ocean through the Nicaragua Canal, as well as more than 100 warships of various types that have been allocated from the Indian Ocean Fleet to bypass Africa and rush to the Atlantic, have gathered together more than 300 warships and military transport ships to show off their might in the English Channel.

In order to wait for the arrival of these ships, Zhuge Weidao did not immediately rush to England after passing through the Nicaragua Canal on the battleship Da Zhou, but first went to Texas Bay, and after joining forces with the newly established Seventh Fleet, he went to Cuba islands owned by the Kingdom of Spain for a "friendly visit." First to the prosperous Havana, and then to Guantánamo Bay. After leaving a wing of officers and men of the Texas Japanese Self-Defense Force in Guantánamo Bay, they headed straight for the Azores in the middle of the North Atlantic. After arriving in the Azores, he "peacefully occupied" the capital of the Azores, Porto Heromas. And there they waited for Lin Zexu, who arrived on an Algerian cruiser, more than 100 ships from the Indian Ocean, and some ships that passed through the Nicaragua Canal one after another.

When more than 300 ships of the Ming Navy were gathered, Zhuge Weidao led them to the English Channel - either they don't go, or if they go, they must put on a posture that I will fight you all and only use one hand!

Only by giving people a feeling that it is completely impossible to defeat can the world hegemony of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty be fully established.

And the world right now, especially in the West, is not peaceful at all. The British Empire was in a civil war. The new President of the United States of America, Martin Brown. Van Buren has just issued a battle manifesto, declaring that he will lead the American people to fight to the end and never give in – as if he had taken the script of a revolutionary leader in Cuba next door!

On the European continent, it was even more lively, with Prussia mobilizing its entire country from the end of March and by mid-April had mobilized more than 1 million troops! Moreover, thanks to the efficient military mobilization system and the conscientious and responsible reserve training system of the Kingdom of Prussia, these 1 million troops are still recruited and can be fought when they come. So at the same time as the completion of the military mobilization, the Prussian army launched an attack on the Kingdom of Hanover. In less than a week, the entire kingdom was occupied.

Seeing that the Kingdom of Prussia was showing the momentum of using dynastic warfare to unify Germany, the Austrian Empire could not sit still, and did not wait for its own military mobilization to be completed (considering the complicated situation of the Austrian Empire, it is estimated that there is no time to complete the mobilization), so it hastily united several pro-Austrian German states to march to the Prussian-owned Rhineland.

Not to be outdone, Prussia, of course, took advantage of their convenient railway system and quickly moved the main forces to the Rhineland. A decisive battle to determine the future and fate of the German Confederation is about to break out!

France and Rakshasa were certainly not idle, and these two countries also began a full-scale military mobilization after Prussia kicked off the general mobilization!

However, neither France nor Rakshasa could compare their mobilization efficiency with that of Prussia. After all, Prussia has been doing this for more than ten years, and it is easy to mobilize and master. Under the leadership of Louis XVII, France was single-mindedly economic, and even if it engaged in military construction, it was mainly based on the navy, and it did not invest much in the army full of Bonapartist elements at all. After Napoleon II came to power, he was busy handing out benefits to win people's hearts, and military construction could only stand aside. Now the temporary mobilization is of course a grind.

As for the rakshasa, the hurdle of serfdom cannot be overcome, and the combat effectiveness of more than 60 million people cannot be brought into play at all, and it is more than one million "old soldiers" who have served for a long time who can really pull it up at any time. However, the Rakshasa Kingdom is still thinking about Constantinople now, and has little interest in intervening in the German Civil War and the English Civil War.

And the rakshasa is sharpening its knives on the side, and of course the Ottoman Turkish Empire is also in a hurry, and their war with the Arab Empire (which can be regarded as a civil war) is still dragging on! Rakshasa is coming again, so why don't you let me live?

So during this time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire also began a general mobilization!

Once the Ottomans mobilized, Greece will definitely follow! Chaos also began in Serbia, Negro, Rumelia and other places ruled by the Ottoman Empire.

The powder keg of the Balkans is about to explode!

However, the German civil war, the war between Rakshasa and Turkey, the powder keg about to explode in the Balkans, the war between the Turks and the Arabs, and Napoleon II, who now does not know who to fight, and the United States, which will not admit defeat, are not the most urgent troubles for the Great Tomorrow Dynasty. It doesn't matter if they mess around for a few years.

What really needs to be solved immediately by the Ming Dynasty is the British Civil War - the British Empire cannot be dispersed like this, otherwise once there is a trend of great unification in Europe, the Ming Dynasty will have to intervene at the first time!

And if you are not careful, you will have a result of European unification - because whether it is Rakshasa or Germany or France, they actually have the ambition to dominate the European continent and dominate the continent. Only Britain has always wanted to be a happy-stirring stick that torments Europeans.

Therefore, more than half of the "famous scenes" that appeared in the English Channel today were placed in support of Queen Victoria!

This is to tell the European powers in Britain and trying to interfere in the British Civil War - the Great Tomorrow Dynasty has come to support its own daughter-in-law, who is not convinced, just go up, slap you to death!
