Wow~

On June 5, 1869, a whistle that seemed to be thunder sounded outside New York Harbor!

"Wow!"

"What's this?"

"God! I'm not reading my eyes right?"

"That...that...my God!"

This whistle was shocking the whole world, which naturally attracted the gaze of the seafarers of the "American United Fleet" in New York Harbor. This was so scary that they all had goose bumps!

I saw a ship breaking through the waves on the sea covered by black smoke and white mist in New York Harbor. The whistle seemed not only to have a huge sound, but also blew away the black smoke and white mist that blocked the view, showing an extremely huge figure.:.../

It's really big, so big!

The largest ship recognized in the world now is the Big East. Well, although the Big East is rather tragic and unlucky, it is really big and big. The length of this ship is 690 feet, which is about 210 meters. The ship in front of me that appears outside the New York Harbor is definitely not lower than this value, and the most important thing is...

This ship is so high!

The Big Oriental is also an iron-shelled ship. Her design principle is relatively classic. It is designed according to the current general sailboats. It has a mast and sail on it, and it is not young or young. The giant ship in front of her has a hull height similar to the mast of the Big Oriental!

And the most important thing is a full metal warship!

Yes, there is no sail on it, and there is no telescope at all. Anyone can see that the ship is made of metal!

The metal itself has a cold temperament. This ship is not like the warships at this time. Most of the hulls are painted black, and the ship is iron-gray!

What makes people feel even more frightened is that the huge, long, gun barrel on this ship!

Two giant cannons combined into one turret, which seems to be called a turret anyway. Such turrets are still stacked, with two stacked on the front, and it is still unclear to see the back. However, there are cannon pipes on the side side, so it is obvious that the wing attack ability of the ship is not weak.

And what is thicker than the cannon tube is the huge chimney of this ship!

Even if they couldn't hear it, the sailors in New York Harbor seemed to feel the shiny black smoke, rushing into the sky with three large chimneys, the thick ones could just hold a fishing boat!

You really don't say that many sailors are amazed because they think the smoke is pretty good-looking, not just black... But in fact, this is because the oil is not very good, the refining process at this time is quite poor, and this giant ship also uses a heavy oil boiler...

Not only this one, there is an ironclad ship in front of this giant ship, but it is really too small. It is really easy to ignore. There are ironclad ships on both sides, and the ones following are some warships that the US Navy is more familiar with, that is...

Yes, these warships were originally from the US Navy, but now these ships are hung with bright red and there is a blue flag below. This should be the flag of their navy?

Obviously, everyone knows that this fleet, no, this is the super fleet. It is the super fleet of the American Empire!

"Your Excellency Earl! Your Excellency Earl?!"

Count Clarendon was also called out from the cabin at this time. Of course, he, the great nobleman, summoned these more than 20 British battleships... He, the Foreign Minister, naturally, did not have this right, but it was obviously the Queen of England who gave him some privileges... But now, Count Clarendon took a telescope and saw the sudden appearance of the fleet outside New York Harbor, this...

"..." Earl Clarendon had a long time. Without saying a word, his mouth was very big.

Plop! Plop! Plop... In fact, Earl Clarendon was suppressing his heartbeat because the scene in front of him was so shocking!

Count Clarendon is a diplomat, but he is not completely unaware of warships or anything else. Britain is a maritime overlord. They claim that they are "invincible at the sea of ​​Great Britain". Therefore, Count Clarendon has seen the market, but the fleet in front of him...

"Is this something on this planet?" Earl Clarendon was really asking in his heart at this time. He could not explain the thing in front of him. This was beyond his cognition.

Then to figure out this thing and this fleet, this... seems not the most important thing. Now, I am afraid the most urgent thing is how to face such a giant ship!

Now the American Empire is in war with the United States, and we British are here to help... Alas, wait, are we still helping?

Although Earl Clarendon was trembling, his mind was still relatively clear and he had some reaction, that was, they could not fight against this metal monster on the sea.

But at this moment, the monster stopped there and did not come in, and suddenly another loud noise appeared!

"Listen to the warships and personnel in New York Harbor!"

The sound came from the metal monster on the ocean surface, but the sound once again shocked the hearts of everyone in New York Harbor!

It's so strange! Because there's never been a sound that can be so far away!

Yes, there shouldn't be a loudspeaker in this era, because normally this era is still the steam era, not the electrical era.

Obviously, Li Mengyang's arguments about the two eras are still very accurate...

"I am the Major General of the American Empire, Samuel DuPont! I came to liberate New York City under the orders of the Emperor of the American Empire, Clint Mengyang. Lee I. Now, I order all warships in the New York Harbor, no matter which country, to surrender to my glorious Imperial Navy! In view of the internationally accepted combat norms, I, Samuel DuPont, especially give you 24 hours of consideration! After 24 hours, if the warships that do not surrender, the warships that do not hang out the white flag, and the warships that resist stubbornly, my glorious Imperial Navy will give you a devastating blow!"

As soon as the voice was finished, a long, sharp chirping appeared!

Obviously, this is the current sound, but the people in New York Harbor don’t know that, and they thought it was the other party demonstrating.

But none of these things matter, what matters is 24 hours!

"Hurry up and find that bastard Sward!" Earl Clarendon was talking this time.

...

"Oh, this speaker is really not perfect enough. The last scream is so uncomfortable."

The inside of the steel giant beast on the ocean of New York Harbor is the captain's command room. The perspective here is very good and you can see everything in New York Harbor. After just giving an ultimatum to all the warships in New York Harbor, Samuel DuPont, the Imperial Rear Admiral, was rubbing his ears at this time.

"You guy, you obviously used that loudspeaker so well just now!" The old alcoholic Anderson was also in this command room at this time, and his complaint was definitely very accurate and real.

It’s true. When Samuel DuPont was speaking just now, he was simply flirting with surprise, but in fact, in DuPont’s heart, it was so cool!

Whoever took such a loudspeaker and then gave so many warships in that port, especially so many British ships, would definitely be a pleasure to give this last ultimatum.

In fact, before, several people fought in the command room because of this ultimatum. Naturally, Erikson, an old drunkard who is also a major general, wanted to play with this loudspeaker. This is a new thing, how fun?

A few people... Then there will be some.

"I don't like you, the Frenchman. In the words of His Majesty the Emperor, you were so proud just now!"

Desire? Could it be Chinese?

It's really not. The person who said this was a white man. Moreover, his rank was the highest here, the Imperial Lieutenant General, but he was a Lieutenant General of the Army!

Matthew McConaughey. Yes, it’s him, this guy is here too!

Why is he here?

In fact, the reason is very simple. Let’s talk about this big guy, which is the super giant ship of the world today. It is naturally the Panama Canal that comes from San Francisco to New York. Matthew McConaughey also serves as the Governor of Panama. How can he not get on the boat to take a look?

This giant ship is simply shocking!

Although McConaughey had seen the giant ship under construction when he went to San Francisco, he was always moved at that time, but now it is built, it goes without saying...

By the way, this giant ship is now named the San Francisco, or the San Francisco. However, after Matthew got on the ship, he immediately received the order, which was the oral order of His Majesty the Emperor brought by Samuel DuPont, of course, this was the latest telegram.

Actually, it’s not an order, it’s just a suggestion. I hope Matthew can revisit New York on this giant ship!

Going back to New York, this is a matter... To be honest, Matthew really doesn't want to go, he thinks it's good to stay in Panama.

Let’s just say that after coming to Panama, Matthew was really overjoyed. He was like a local emperor here. Although he didn’t need him to fight that guy Clint and Li later, it didn’t matter. Matthew really thought it was better to stay in Panama than anything else.

It sounds like a little bit of ambition. A person like Matthew who raised an army with this emperor should have greater ambitions. However, if you are a guy who used to be sold and mined every day, and you don’t know when you are buried in the mine one day, and now you have whatever you want. You will not have too much pursuit as a local emperor at the most profitable barrier in the world today.

But this time it was different. Matthew was not stupid. Clint Lee actually said it clearly, that is, the emperor, now there is not enough manpower!

Let’s put it this way, all the people who can be sent out have been sent out. Even Yang Haotian, who is responsible for the emperor’s safety, has led a force to go out to fight!

There is no way, the war develops too fast, and the empire has taken such a large territory at once, and the surrendered white men are not so trustworthy. How short of people is this?

Li Mengyang's words may not be as direct as they are, but Matthew could hear them, and...

This is the only and the most awesome steel giant ship in the world. It’s great to sit there!

So Matthew revisited his hometown, and now, where will the British and American joint fleet go? (To be continued.)

ps: Regarding economic matters, let’s talk about a data chart.

It is the U.S. labor population data. If you are optimistic, this is not the employment data released by the U.S. government, but the data of the labor-participating population. Who is this data comparing with? Compared with S&P, it is the U.S. prosperity index.

When these two data are put together, in the current graph, you will see a crocodile-shaped pattern with a super big mouth!

Yes, it’s just a big crocodile or a giant crocodile!

Black Cars give you an example. In 1929, this linear diagram was a frog that kept opening its mouth. In 2008, it was a python with its mouth open, and now it is a giant crocodile!
