After completing the performance-oriented artillery bombardment, the eight "Northern Song-class" battleships of the Imperial Navy completed the performance-oriented artillery bombardment and then left quickly. Yes, this is the performance-oriented artillery bombardment. In fact, in actual combat, the Imperial Navy's warships could not directly shoot like this. After all, after the encounter of the main battleships of both sides, in order to seize a more favorable position, the fleet would chase the sea, approach it through repeated temptations, and then start shelling.

In addition, in order to ensure the accuracy of artillery bombardment, heavy cruisers and light cruisers would eject seaplanes to provide combat ships with data such as bounce points. In the beginning, the Imperial Navy used airships to sprint fire. Now, with the increasing advancement of aircraft technology, the Imperial Navy has now begun to use seaplanes to provide combat ships with crawling fire.

Avoid because aircraft are the secret weapon of the Empire. Even if European countries already know it, they think that the Empire just uses aircraft as a weapon for reconnaissance and do not think too much about it. Once the war breaks out and the Empire's air force and naval aviation are showing their skills, the Holy Alliance will know how outrageous they are.

After the eight "Northern Song-class" battleships of the Imperial Navy left, the members of the delegations of various countries on the Royal Princess cruise ship were still stunned. This was the first time that many of them saw the live ammunition shooting of battleships. This shocking scene was enough to make them unforgettable forever. In particular, each of these battleships appeared was extremely huge, just like a hill floating on the sea. This undoubtedly shocked everyone even more.

"God! This is simply too spectacular!" Castel, a serving member of the Kingdom of Spain, said in a daze. He suddenly felt that he wanted to show his presence, which seemed too idiotic. Faced with such a powerful Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Spain was destined to be a younger brother.

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, is this the battleship of the Imperial Chinese Navy? It's so huge. Its displacement exceeds 30,000 tons, right?" asked Francisco I, King of the Kingdom of Scotland.

"Everyone, this is the 'Northern Song-class' battleship just equipped by the Imperial Navy. It is also the most powerful battleship in the Empire so far. The 'Northern Song-class' battleship has a displacement of 30,000 tons and is equipped with three triple-mounted 356mm main guns. Whether it is defense or firepower, it is the most powerful battleship now. The Imperial Navy built eight 'Northern Song-class' battleships at one time, which will become the strongest battleship to safeguard the overseas interests of the Empire!" Wei Yuan introduced to everyone with a smile. From everyone's face, he knew that the plan this time had been successful. The powerful battleship of the Imperial Navy gave these people a great shock. I believe that they should have a deeper understanding of the strength of the Empire!

"God! It's really a 30,000-ton warship. I guess no country can compare with it, right?" Queen Isabella II exclaimed. Although the Spanish Kingdom ordered four "Tang-class" battleships from the Chinese Empire. However, the four were all "early Tang-class" battleships, with a full load displacement of 26,000 tons, and the main guns carried were also three triple-mounted 343mm main guns. The power seemed to be a little worse than these "Northern Song-class" battleships! Isabella II suddenly felt that the Spanish Kingdom should also be equipped with this advanced battleship.

"The 'Northern Song-class' battleship is just one of the new warships of the Imperial Navy. By the second half of the year, the eight 'Northern Song-class' battleships of the Imperial Navy will also be put into service. The 'Northern Song-class' battleships are an improved type of the 'Northern Song-class' battleships. The comprehensive combat power is stronger, and they are also eight. By next year, the Imperial Navy will have eight 'Ming-class' battleships to serve. The 'Ming-class' battleships are even more powerful, and the main guns will be 381mm main guns! Any enemy warships will be torn to pieces by the Imperial Ming-class' battleships!" Wei Yuan said proudly. Anyway, the Germans are also very clear about the Imperial Navy's shipbuilding plan, and the Empire is not afraid of secrets being leaked. It can put more pressure on the Germans. If they make them strengthen their investment at sea, it is naturally the best.

"Oh my God! So many advanced battleships. Can the Holy Alliance really fight against the Chinese Empire?" Almost everyone exclaimed in their hearts. The Chinese Empire's navy will have 24 powerful battleships in service this year and next year alone. Although the German navy is becoming more and more powerful, it is undoubtedly too garbage compared to the Chinese Empire. Everyone has made a decision in their minds. Obviously, the Chinese Empire's strength is stronger, and the chance of winning is greater when it comes to the Chinese Empire!

"Damn the Chinese, how could they have so many powerful battleships? Compared with them, the Ottoman Turkish Navy has no comparison at all! If the Ottoman Turkish Empire is enemies, wouldn't it be destroyed soon?" Mustafa Lester Pasha was already overwhelmed. Although the Navy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was becoming stronger and stronger, in addition to the two "Western Han-class" battleships and three "Qin-class" battleships that were originally ordered from the Chinese Empire, they also ordered four "Brandenburg-class" battleships and two "Caesar Frederick III" battleships from Germany. Among them, four "Brandenburg-class" battleships have been delivered one after another in the first half of this year. The other two "Caesar Frederick III" battleships will also be delivered in the second half of the year.

When four Brandenburg-class battleships were put into service with the Ottoman Turkish Empire Navy, Sultan Abdul Maijid I proudly claimed that the Ottoman Turkish Empire had truly had a powerful navy. They would spare no effort to develop the navy and turn the Ottoman Turkish Empire into a maritime power.

But now it seems that the powerful navy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire has no comparison in front of the Chinese Empire. Not to mention, the eight "Northern Song-class" battleships that just appeared in front of everyone are enough to send all the main battleships of the Ottoman Turkish Empire Navy to the bottom of the sea! Not to mention, the Chinese Navy has many other advanced battleships.

Mustafa Lester Pasha suddenly had an idea that when the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire were against each other, it seemed that they were seeking death! For their own interests, the Ottoman Turkish Empire should still join the Chinese Empire. However, how to convince Abdul Maijid I and other empire senior officials was undoubtedly a huge problem.

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Kingdom of Spain hopes to order the 'Ming-class' battleships. I wonder if it is possible?" Queen Isabella II said immediately. After knowing from Wei Yuan that the Empire will serve the more powerful 'Ming-class' battleships next year, she became interested.

"Her Majesty the Queen, the price of the 'Ming-class' battleship is very expensive. In addition, the Empire feels that the financial resources of the Spanish Kingdom should be tilted towards the army now, and this is the most important thing in the next war!" Wei Yuan said with a smile.

Queen Isabella II nodded without saying anything. She knew that Wei Yuan was right. In the next war, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium would be attacked by the German Empire. They really needed to resist the Germans on the land battlefield. Only in this way could their country continue to exist and leave a foothold for the Chinese Empire in Europe. Otherwise, once their territory was occupied by the Germans, the reinforcements of the Chinese Empire would have to fight an arduous landing battle after they arrived.

The emergence of eight "Northern Song-class" battleships of the Chinese Empire Navy shocked the members of the missions of various countries. But at the same time, it deepened their confidence. Even the representatives of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, who originally tended to support the Holy Alliance, were shaken in their hearts.

On the afternoon of April 11, the Royal Princess cruise ship arrived at Huaxia, the capital of the empire. Here, they were warmly welcomed. Countless imperial people came to welcome them spontaneously. With the continuous improvement of cultural level, the imperial people have already gained a clear understanding of the external world. The establishment of the sacred alliance led by the German Empire made the empire feel a huge threat. They knew that these monarchs and mission members from European countries would become allies of the empire. Therefore, they sincerely welcomed them. After all, if these allies were ahead, the empire's children would die less.

The imperial prime minister Lin Zihao, the ministers of the cabinet, and the military chief of the general staff all went to the dock to greet them in person, which made the visiting monarchs very satisfied. Although the Chinese Emperor Long Yufei was not present, Long Yufei had a higher status and it was understandable that he did not come in person.

The missions from various countries were placed in a garden next to the palace, which was specially used to receive monarchs or heads of state from other countries. The Chinese-style gardens made these foreign monarchs very much like them.

That night, the imperial emperor Long Yufei held a grand dinner at the palace to welcome everyone. In addition to the monarchs and missions of various countries, the imperial officials and representatives of all classes also attended the banquet. The entire banquet reached hundreds of people.

Before the banquet began, the imperial emperor Long Yufei made a speech.

"My friends who have come from afar, thank you for coming to the Chinese Empire. As we all know, the Chinese Empire is a peace-loving country, and we hope that the world can live in peace. However, a new crisis has emerged. Someone will challenge the world order dominated by the empire. Here, I want to tell you that these challenges are destined to fail! The empire will be the best winner!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
