Chapter 1056 The Imperial Fleet Is Coming (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
he came!
When the "Dong Ying" came from a distance with a black smoke column, its beautiful and unique clipper-shaped bow cut through the sapphire-like sea and lifted white waves.

The officers and soldiers on the battleship "USS Oregon" of the U.S. Navy all looked at this battleship with a displacement of up to 1.5 tons with admiration. It is a sister ship of the "Youzhou-class" battleship.As soon as it entered the water two years ago, it caused a sensation all over the world. As soon as it entered the water, the so-called first-class ironclad ship was squeezed out of the former main force of naval warfare, announcing the arrival of the new era of combat ships.

“全舰长138.2米，宽23米，2座十年式双联装L45/305毫米主炮、12门150毫米副炮，12座单装十式150毫米L/45炮，12座单装十年式120毫米L/40炮，4座单装式76毫米L/40炮，2台直立式四气筒三段鼓胀式蒸汽机，26座燃煤燃油两用锅炉，20000马力……”

Standing on the side of the "Oregon" battleship, Ma Jifen watched the "East Ying" which was getting closer, and when he talked about the elements of this warship in an admiring tone, his eyes were full of longing.

"That's why his speed is only as high as 21.5 knots. It's really hard to believe that there are such fast battleships in this world!"

When they mentioned the unparalleled high speed of this imperial warship in a tone full of envy and jealousy, they didn't know that this was entirely the result of years of research by the Imperial Fluid Laboratory. The drag reduction performance of the hull is very good, and it can reach a high speed of 20000 knots with a power of 21.5 million forces.

Powerful firepower and excellent performance made the "Youzhou-class" battleships eliminate all ironclad ships as soon as they entered service. They became the benchmark for new battleships in various countries, and the U.S. Navy still has no similar warships.

There is no conflict between strength and beauty. When the warship approached, Ma Jifen even showed a bit of fascination when he saw its beautiful shape.That infatuated gaze is even like a man's lover.

This is really a perfect warship.

When Ma Jifen looked at the warship with eyes full of envy and longing, what he didn't know was that he was able to serve in the U.S. Navy thanks to the Ming Empire. It was under the pressure of the Ming Empire that Ma Jifen and his The students of the Annapolis Naval Academy, except for the top twelve can enter the navy, others will be unemployed as soon as they graduate, and finally go to the Beiyang Navy as foreign sailors, and finally participate in the Sino-Japanese War.

Ma Jifen knew nothing about what happened in the other world. At this time, like all the young naval officers, he watched the arrival of the imperial navy fleet with envy.

Finally, his tombstone was engraved: "I would like to use this monument to commemorate a warrior who loved his motherland deeply but dedicated his life to another flag."

King Karaka looked at John Stevens in front of him, and said in a calm tone.

The "Summer-North Treaty of Reciprocity" signed seven years ago is about to expire in two months. On the issue of whether to renew the contract, King Kalakaua directly requested the abolition of the clauses involving ports and territorial sovereignty, but the United States directly Rejected, they not only refused to budge, but also proposed to build a ship repair station in Pearl Harbor, Oahu.

Who else could it be?

"It seems that it is impossible for Daming to give up here,"

"Mr. Ambassador, don't forget that you are not the only ones in Hawaii, and similarly, your warships are not the only ones in the Pacific Ocean."

"Is it a warship?"

In Hawaii... There are even more immigrants from Ming Dynasty than immigrants from the United States, but in terms of influence, especially political influence, those American immigrants far exceed Daming. After all, American immigrants have been operating here for decades, even Even many high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Hawaii are American immigrants, and even the prime minister of the Kingdom, Walter Gibson, can be known by his name as an American immigrant.American immigrants have become the prime minister of the Kingdom of Hawaii, which shows how many positions American immigrants occupy in other departments.

Of course, there are American warships in the sea.

"Your Majesty, just as I said before, in addition to renewing the contract, the United States of America hopes to build a ship repair station at Pearl Harbor on Oahu."

"Mr. Ambassador, do you know what you're talking about?"

For the Beiyang Navy, Ma Jifen is loyal. After the defeat of the Beiyang Navy, he told the world again and again how the soldiers of the Beiyang Navy fought bravely.

"Your Majesty, such a refusal may lead to things that neither of us would like to see happen."

Now... he doesn't need to give his life to another flag.Now Ma Jifen and his classmates have benefited from the expansion of the US Navy and have become federal naval officers.

"Sir, the Daming people are here!"

John Stevens was not surprised by King Karaka's refusal. In fact, he had already prepared a backup plan. Many American immigrants on the island would use their methods to force the king to make a decision. concession.

What should we do now?
In the royal palace in Hawaii, King Kalakaua looked at John Stevens in front of him, the American ambassador, with unconcealable anger suppressed in his expression.

However, for Fleet Commander John Worden, a federal rear admiral who had participated in the Civil War, the moment he saw the Ming Fleet, his expression became a little complicated.

John nodded, then looked at Honolulu behind him from the corner of his eye, and said.

"Yes!"

"So what do we do now?"

In the end, he used a revolver to end his own life.This day also happens to be the second anniversary of the suicides of Ding Ruchang and Yang Yonglin, the admirals of the Beiyang Fleet.There are not many relics of him, among which are the military uniforms, sabers of the Beiyang Fleet and the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Qing Dynasty.After his death, people obeyed his will, covered his coffin with Huanglongqi, and accompanied him to sleep together.

"Mr. Ambassador, I said that Hawaii will not sign any treaties with any country on the issue of territorial sovereignty, including the "U.S.-Xia Reciprocity Treaty" signed with you in 1875. We also need to renegotiate!"

Daming, of course!

"Not us, but Hawaiians!"

Although King Karaka is pro-American to a certain extent, and even visited the United States after he became king, he, who has received modern education, also knows the importance of territorial sovereignty. On the issue of the renewal of the contract, it called for the abolition of the clauses related to the port and territorial sovereignty.

But even so, the quantitative advantage of Ming immigrants is still beyond the reach of American immigrants.Of course, it is not enough to only have a quantitative advantage. The most important thing is that there is a powerful empire and a powerful imperial fleet behind the immigrants.

This is also the biggest difference between Daming and the United States.In total, Americans who want to be a bitch and set up a memorial archway are different.Daming is officially supporting the fishermen in Hawaii directly.And this is the fundamental reason why the famous immigrants can catch up from behind.

Almost at the same time that King Karaka's words fell, someone came in to report.

"King, king, report to the king, the fleet of the Ming Empire has arrived at the Outer Harbor!"
