The coronation parade of King George V is scheduled to take place on January 2, 26 (192 AD), in the same place as the original plane, in the waters of Spithead south of Portsmouth Harbour. However, this time there are more warships than the original space-time, and there are more than 14o ships from more than 3 countries to refer to (the original space-time is more than 8)-

On 4 July, the "Fuxi," "Qinling," and "Qingcheng," together with warships from various countries participating in the parade, as well as the fleet of the British Royal Navy, were all assembled in the Spithead waters south of Portsmouth Harbour to await the review on 2 October. The arrangement of the warships was also apparently carefully considered by the British, whose own warships were in the first row, followed by the colonies, the Dominions, and then the Allies and other allies such as Japan.

Three Chinese warships were arranged in the penultimate row, between the American and Brazilian formations, on the left were the American battleships "North Dakota" and "Delaware", and on the right were the Brazilian battleships "Minas Gerais". There were also warships of the German-Austrian Allies and some of the larger neutrals in this row. The last row is a scumbag country like Greece, Portugal, Norway and so on.

Among them, Britain has more than 3 warships, including more than 6 battleships, the front rows are all Britain's own warships, and the huge fleet is almost endless, which is the tool of the heyday of the empire that firmly controls the earth's oceans.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, King George V and Queen Mary, accompanied by the First Sea Lord, accompanied by special envoys from various countries, their own ministers and royal nobles, sailed slowly out of Portsmouth Harbour on a large luxury yacht. As the parade ships sailed out of Portsmouth Harbour, the Royal Navy flagship fired a gun salute, followed by a simultaneous cannon fire at the specified intervals

Suddenly, the rumbling sound of cannons resounded through the blue sea, and the billowing smoke filled the blue sky. George V reviewed the warships one by one on the royal yacht "Victoria and Albert", and at each ship, the ship's band played the British national anthem and the national anthem, and the officers and men stood in solemn salute. As soon as the music was finished, the officers and men waved their military caps and shouted "hurra" (long live) three times. King George V and Queen Mary were in high spirits and waved their hands frequently in response. The spectacular sea parade lasted more than 2 hours.

The media of various countries unanimously recognized that the number of participating countries, the number of ships, and the magnificence of military appearance in this review are the largest in the history of Britain and even the world. Among them, the largest in size, with many main guns, the "Fuxi" class battleship, known as the "world's first battleship", has attracted a lot of attention, won a high reputation for China, and gained countless envy, jealousy and hatred. There are also three types of Chinese warships that are almost identical in silhouette line, which has also become a hot topic of discussion.

This is probably the reason why Niu Niu arranged the middle ** ship to the penultimate row, so as not to steal their own limelight.

Of course, there is also the "local tyrant gold" painting that brightens the eyes of blind dogs, which is also very eye-catching. There are even many people who come to ask curiously whether these gold paints are really gold-plated. The Chinese side had to fix their faces and explain that this is just gold powder paint, which is made by a special formula of brass powder plus several special varnishes, not gold plating (bastard, put your file down)

After the parade, the Chinese delegation left the port of Portsmouth with mixed feelings and began their visit to Europe.

Battleship Fuxi.

The first stop of the Chinese delegation was Germany, and on the way, everyone was still immersed in yesterday's magnificent parade of ships, talking about the endless battleship columns.

An officer lamented: "The British Navy is so powerful, they have only transferred less than half of the warships in this review......

Major Li Ang, assistant to the captain, smiled: "Hehe, I don't think so, our Fuxi-class is the most powerful battleship in the world, although there are many British battleships, most of them are former dreadnoughts, and now they only have 1o dreadnoughts in service, and there are Orion-class dreadnoughts in service." In front of our dreadnoughts, the former dreadnoughts are more or less dead, only dreadnoughts can pose some threat to us, but their degree is not as good as ours, and our Qinling class is enough to suppress them. It is only after the Orion class is put into service that it can pose a certain threat to us. But when we came out, didn't the boss say that there were plans for at least two battleships every year in the future. With the addition of the [Houyi] and [Chiyou], which started construction last year, by the end of the First Five-Year Plan, we will have at least 1o dreadnoughts......"

Another officer said, "They also have a battle cruiser, which is faster than our Fuxi-class, and if they entangle us with battle cruisers, they will use other battleships to besiege us." No matter how strong our Fuxi level is, it is difficult to beat the four hands with two fists......"

Leon smiled: "Hehe, the armor of the battlecruiser is weak, and to fight the battleship is to find death, so they will bully the cruiser." Oh, haven't we done it well, even our Qingcheng-class main gun can penetrate their latest Lion-class main armor belt at a distance of 66o meters. I've always felt that the British battlecruiser was a very failed design......"

A bunch of middle- and lower-ranking officers immediately began a heated argument about this.

Several leaders such as fleet commander Gao Yujie did not join the debate because they were meeting in a small conference room at this time.

“...... Flotilla 2 will join us in the Port of Hamburg. Foreign Minister Cavour said. He is here as a diplomatic envoy to attend the coronation of the British king, and by the way, he will also be presiding over this European visit.

Political Commissar Liu Haifeng asked: "Minister Ka, will Germany agree to our request this time? After all, Qingdao is their largest stronghold in Asia......

Cavour smiled: "Hehe, there is a good chance that they will agree, after all, the chips in our hands are what Wei Er needs the most." Although Wei Er is more neurotic, if he trades a Qingdao for the possibility of defeating Britain, I think he can still distinguish which side is important......"

"Besides, if they don't agree, won't we take it back ourselves......?"

April 6, 26 (192 AD), Hamburg.

Today, another big news broke out, China and Germany issued a joint statement: Germany will give up all the outstanding Gengzi indemnities and return the Qingdao leased land to China on June 1 this year. China paid Germany DM 100.26 million for the construction of municipal works and facilities such as the port during the lease period of Qingdao. After friendly negotiations, the funds were paid in kind and in part of the patent fees of the products.

China has also pledged that German citizens and business enterprises in the former Qingdao leased land can continue to live and work in Qingdao as long as they comply with Chinese laws and regulations. German citizens in the original leased territory can be granted green cards, and German industrial and commercial enterprises can enjoy the same treatment as Chinese enterprises.

Countries around the world were in an uproar, speculating one after another: Is this the rhythm of China joining the Axis powers?

You know, Germany accounted for 2 of the total number of Gengzi reparations. That is, nearly 200 million taels of silver, although half of the previous year's revision had been waived, there was still a share of nearly 100 million taels. Not to mention the leased land of Qingdao, which was built by Erdezi as the largest permanent stronghold and "model colony" in the East, not to mention municipal facilities, the port and fortress of Qingdao alone, Germany smashed hundreds of millions of marks.

Although China also paid 100.26 million marks to Germany this time, it was a loss for the second German son. With Wilhelm II's neurotic character, if he didn't want to draw China into the Allies, how could he be willing to suffer such a loss?) (Of course, Mr. Wen and the top brass of the Science and Technology Socialist Party did not see it that way, in their opinion, this deal was obviously a big bargain for Erdezi.) ）

At this moment, the Entente could not sit still, and asked China one after another whether they were ready to join the Central Powers? Britain, in particular, was going crazy. If China also joins the allies, as soon as the war starts, India, Burma, and Malaya will not want it, 150,000 modern 6th armies, and the world's first air force, it will make the cow liver tremble just thinking about it. Don't look at the remaining half of the Indochina Peninsula in France, let alone the fight, and China will not want to continue to keep it once it turns its face. And Russia will have to transfer a lot of military power to the East. For the Entente, such a thing was unacceptable.

Even the United States came to ask that they didn't care, but if China chose Germany, they would have to adjust the proportion of their bets.

"You must have misunderstood, but the main task of our government now is to build the country and increase the income of the people, and we have no interest in participating in the contradictions of the European countries. Therefore, whether it is the Central Powers or the Entente Powers, we do not discriminate equally, and for the time being we have not participated in the decision of one side...... Well, of course now it seems that Germany is a little friendlier to us......"

Wen Desi showed a harmless smile and said in a relaxed tone to the ambassadors of Britain, France, Russia and the United States.

Ouch, I'm rubbing, you're just "not participating for the time being," can't you have an accurate word? And Germany is more friendly to you? The Allied ambassadors are solid

The ......ambassadors looked at each other, and Zhu Erdian said: "As long as China is willing to remain neutral all the time, our British Empire will show enough friendship to China."

"Well, I'm looking forward to friendship between the nations......" said with a smile on his face.

After saying that, Zhu Erdian and the others took their leave and went back. Zhu Erdian hurriedly sent a telegram to China to explain China's current ambiguous attitude. The ambassadors of France and Russia also reported to China one after another, asking the bigwigs in China to come up with a way to absolutely not let China fall to the Entente.

The bigwigs of the Entente countries are scolding Erdezi, Wei Er, who is a grass and mud horse, and that girl is actually playing this hand with a big brain, which is too much
