2046 Duke of Newcastle

Having lost the topic of demolition just now, Xiao Letian whispered to Zaichun, "Portsmouth Military Port is the largest, most important and even very important military port in the world..."

"The port is located in the central part of southern Xinjiang in the UK, with Dover Strait in the east and the exit of the English Channel in the west. Behind it is the British political and economic center - London. It is known as the "South Gate of the Capital". Therefore, the British royal family has not chosen to go to the sea outside London, but here..."

"Today, Britain is going to prepare a ship review for us on the seashore of Portsmouth, which shows that our plan has been a great success, and the UK has treated us unprecedentedly..."

"And haven't you heard it just now? The message sent by Victory was just saying that a small-scale ship reading... Of course it was a small one. The Queen would not start without the grandest ship reading!"

"Pull your eyes open, today's scene is destined to be extremely spectacular!"

After a while, the barge sent the Duke of Newcastle to the Zhiyuan. As soon as he got on the ship, the Duke's eyes lit up. This warship full of science fiction aura immediately attracted him.

In this world, if you want to know the navy, if the British say second, no one dares to say first. As a high nobleman of the empire, you must know the navy even more.

The Duke of Newcastle doesn't have to ask about the specific parameters of this warship. You can feel the power of this warship just by relying on your first impression.

I reached out and slapped the heavy steel guard plate, and the vibrations returned were almost zero, which shows that the thickness of the steel plate was amazing.

Let’s take a look at the paint surface of all the steel. There are almost no dead corners in all places, which are painted extremely evenly.

The 210 main gun with its cannon cloaked in the air completely subverted the Duke's impression of ordinary warship artillery. The spiral-cut rifle of the muzzle exudes an artistic beauty. It can be imagined how terrifying the acceleration of the shells would get in such a cannon.

What surprised him even more was the orderliness of the entire battleship, all the items on the deck were extremely neat, and the ropes were tied neatly like works of art, which was a craft that only old sailors could possess.

There was no sanitary dead corner, no mess, including those soldiers who were full of energy and all their work was orderly.

"This is really an Oriental Navy built by Xiao Letian? How is that possible? Where did he find so many high-quality soldiers? Aren't the Chinese all landslides?"

While muttering, Xiao Letian and Zai Chun had already stepped forward. After four or five steps away, Xiao Letian reached out and showed a standard smile, and his eight snow-white teeth were shining.

"Welcome, Dear Duke! I hope this warship of my warship does not make you laugh..."

"Ah...oh, hahaha... Master, you are so good at joking. Even I, the British Empire, have you never owned such a warship. How can I laugh at it?"

"Your English is very standard, but you have a little accent in New York, North America... Did you grow up in the United States? I really want to meet what kind of parents and teachers you can educate a great man like you!"

Fuck! Xiao Letian was scolding in his stomach at that time. He was a cunning British man. Did he give me eye drops as soon as he came up? Now no one in Asia dares to hold on to my past identity anymore, but you are churning again.

But there is no way. The British are so confident. They are not afraid of you. You, Xiao Lotte, bullying those backward nations in East Asia, but you have to be a human being with your tail between your tail when you really go to Europe.

"Thank you for your misunderstanding, I really feel sorry for it! My parents are just small businessmen wandering around the world. Not to mention, and the two elders have passed away! As for the accent issue, I'm afraid it's because my own English level is not high enough. It seems that I need to find a real grammar teacher to correct it in London, hahaha..."

When the Duke of Newcastle saw that he had not cheated out any useful things, he did not continue to stimulate him in depth. Instead, he turned his head and faced Emperor Tongzhi respectfully, bent down and bowed ninety degrees.

"Welcome, Your Majesty, I wish you long live, long live, long live!" The last three long live sounds were actually spoken in Chinese, and Zai Chun was excited at that time.

This is the real Duke of England, the Queen's right-hand man and an important member of the royal family. He bowed respectfully to me and praised me long live!

At this time, Zaichun had long since lost the odor of old Dongba people in China. The rule of kneeling three times and knocking nine times was already thrown into the Atlantic Ocean.

After truly feeling the strength of Britain, he realized that even if someone could bow to you, it would be enough to give you face. This is already a supreme honor.

"Flat! Keep your body flat... I have been to the UK thousands of miles away, and I will bother you during this period!" Zai Chun actually stretched out his hand.

The Duke of Newcastle was stunned and subconsciously stretched out his hand and held it with Zai Chun. He was no less than a hurricane in his heart. He never expected that the Qing Dynasty group, known for its stubbornness and conservatism, would have produced such an enlightened little emperor.

This is a hundred times better than his father, Emperor Xianfeng. When Xianfeng died, he never saw the ministers from various countries in Europe. They even destroyed an Oriental Summer Palace for a kneeling ceremony.

This is really not a joke, because at that time, what Britain wanted was to teach the Qing Dynasty a lesson and get a contract. In fact, war reparations were secondary. You had to open customs and accept the inflow of goods from Europe.

In fact, this kind of conflict can be resolved through negotiation. The British and French coalition forces bombarded Dagukou. When the Qing Dynasty saw that it could not be defeated, it was not easy to negotiate. The conditions for agreeing to Britain and France would not be as tragedy as the attack on Sijiu City later.

At that time, Britain and France did not require much conditions. The right to preach, another batch of ports were opened, and finally the two sides were allowed to establish embassies with each other.

In fact, according to the perspective of people in the 21st century, these conditions are actually quite equal.

However, Emperor Xianfeng refused, not only refused peace talks but also refused to contact the British and French envoys. In the end, Senggelinqin seized the British and French envoys and tortured and threw all these foreigners into the dungeon.

After the British and French forces rescued their envoys, they found that everyone was physically disabled and had maggots in their wounds. Some of them had become cold corpses.

This barbarian behavior completely angered the coalition forces, which led to the final punishment of burning the Old Summer Palace.

In fact, judging from the fact that Senggelinqin treated British and French envoys by barbaric treatment, the barbarian military group that came out of white and black water in the Qing Dynasty has been nourished by the cultural nourishment of Confucian civilization in the Central Plains for 200 years.

But the cruelty and barbarity in their bones have never changed!
