Chapter 1090 The secret battle of the admirals (first update, please subscribe)
Here they come!

When the Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Navy appeared in the waters of Havana, the impact this huge fleet brought to the world was unprecedented.

The leader is the "Youzhou". Its beautiful clipper-shaped bow cuts through the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea and draws white waves. The twin 305mm naval guns on the bow point directly ahead.

On the top of the open bridge, Meng Qingen, commander of the Imperial Navy's Atlantic Fleet, stood on the pine deck, staring indifferently at the British warship not far away.

"Sir, the HMS Monarch upgrade salutes us."

"Return."

Standing motionless on the bridge deck, Meng Qingen, the admiral of the empire and the Viscount of Los Angeles, held the binoculars on his chest with both hands and stared ahead.

"American……"

In the seemingly calm expression, the flashing sneer revealed his inner thoughts.

He has no sympathy for Americans at all.

Luckily, Luce was lucky that he didn't need to raise the flag to greet the "Viscount of Los Angeles" of the Ming Empire, he only needed to order the flag to be raised to greet the admiral of the Ming Empire.

Meng Qingen shook his head directly and said.

"The "Viscount of Los Angeles" of the Ming Empire!"

Thick and long is the last word!

"Definitely a well-trained group of sailors."

Whenever there is a chance, it is always possible.

"Do not."

"Your Excellency, this gift is not ordinary."

But no matter how frustrated he was, he could barely squeeze out and follow Meng Qingen to the stern of the Youzhou ship.Of course, he did not forget to observe the opponent during the period, because the cannons were all in the turrets, so he must not be able to observe them, but seeing the strong appearance of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty along the way made him sigh in his heart.

The 45mm naval gun, which is thick and 305 times as long, is pointed straight ahead, making the short 30 times [-]-inch cannons of the United States and the United Kingdom even a little ashamed to see people.

In an instant, Luce's complexion became uglier and his mood became more depressed. Even the fragrant Wuyishan black tea had no taste in his mouth. Could he not be depressed?
I watched the other party make fun of him, and was directly hit by the dimensionality reduction.

However, just one day later, Admiral Luce felt overwhelmed. He received an invitation from "Da Ming Empire Atlantic Captain Commander, Admiral, Meng Qingen, Viscount Los Angeles of the Empire" to go to the "Youzhou" for a drink. afternoon tea.

"Oh, Your Majesty the General, you're being polite. Come here, why don't you bring any presents?"

"This tea set is a souvenir I brought from Los Angeles..."

Of course it was war.

Even if you are hit, you can only force yourself to smile, Luce asked.

Looking at the "Youzhou" in the distance through the telescope, Admiral Luce's tone was a little less calm.

Uh...how could this be!
Luce is a bit stupid, can he be stupid, he gave the vase to Meng Qingen in order to humiliate him - it was snatched from your Chinese palace, okay?
But... what was his reaction?
Immediately, I just felt that Luce, who had lost the big money, was a heartbreak.

One day in the future, it is not impossible to confer the earl of New York or the Duke of Washington!

He was the one who led the fleet to bombard Los Angeles back then, and it was precisely because of the "bombardment of Los Angeles" that he won the title.

When he and Meng Qingen walked to the stern of the ship observing while chatting, and sat down on the cloth chair, Luce saw the silver dessert plate and the European-style silver teapot on the round table, and laughed.

When the Imperial Atlantic Fleet arrived, the Caribbean Squadron had already raised its flag to welcome it.

Otherwise, he would be disgusted to death!

When the two fleets converged, Admiral Luce on the "Iowa" had already raised his binoculars, and at the same time Meng Qingen also raised his binoculars, and they seemed to be observing each other.

What will lead to it?

"Ah, from the Song Dynasty, that's right, that's right... This is a treasure. The general is so generous to return the art that belongs to China to Huaxia. Meng is very grateful! Donate to the museum in name!"

The army of the Ming Empire has the Count of Rouen, the Airship Force has the Viscount of Versailles, and the Navy has the Viscount of Los Angeles.

"Sir, Commander Li Tinghe of the Caribbean Squadron, request to be incorporated into the fleet."

"The admiral certainly didn't invite me just to drink tea."

It is also complicated, after all, for all Americans, this title is their shame.This is especially true for naval personnel.

Looking at the words "Viscount Los Angeles of the Empire" written in cursive English on the invitation, Luce's heart was heavy.

Meng Qingen, who greeted him personally, said with a smile.

Meng Qingen, who seems to always have a cold face, is actually... very bad.

Pointing to the open gift box, Admiral Luce introduced with a smile.

But just then, the knocked out tooth can only be swallowed in the stomach.

In fact, war is not the first option for them. The reason why they came here is not to fight each other, but to show their strength. Unless they have to, no one wants to have a conflict.

What is this "Viscount of Los Angeles" in the beautiful country?
As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, but the moment Meng Qingen stood in front of the American, the Yankee's face was slapped.

"This is a gift from Rear Admiral Smith of the British Navy when I led a ship to visit the UK ten years ago. This is the vase he got when he accompanied the army into the Chinese Imperial Palace in 1860. It is said to be from the Song Dynasty."

"It's really big..."

When Luce mentioned the "Chinese Imperial Palace", he deliberately emphasized his tone, as if to remind him that it was snatched by the British Empire.Then he stared at Meng Qingen, as if he wanted to see him lose his composure and get excited.

The once star "Iowa" in this sea area suddenly passed away.

I have to say that Emperor Zhu has his own bad taste!

This should have been done a long time ago. Isn't it a symbol of honor to associate the general's victory with their title?
Not only their personal, but also the empire's.

"agree."

At this time, the "Viscount Los Angeles" of the empire, which made all Americans hate it, led the fleet into this sea area.

"It's Meng Qingen!"

In fact, Emperor Zhu didn't think it was a bad idea, even he thought it was a bit late.

Of course, the Americans didn't like him either.

Although his heart was full, Admiral Luce still came. Not only did he come, but he also brought gifts.

As he wished, Meng Qingen was excited, he held up the vase excitedly and said.

"Indeed, Admiral, the reason why I invited you over is because, as you know, the most powerful fleets of our two countries are here, what will happen if there is any unhappiness between us!"

"The general's habit of drinking afternoon tea and this tea set should be brought from England."

The "Viscount of Los Angeles" of the empire, how did this title come about?

Luce nodded and asked back.

Like all naval officers, Meng Qingen cherishes words like gold. After all, orders must be given in the most concise way in naval battles.

"Then what is your suggestion, Admiral?"

"consensus!"

After spit out this word, Meng Qingen said.

"We should first reach a basic consensus to avoid possible misunderstandings and unnecessary conflicts as much as possible. What do you think?"
