Long live peace!

This sentence is nothing more than 3 is to deceive the fool of the village. After all, in the past few months, the whole world has been paying attention to the Roman Empire's invasion of Persia and the reaction of the United Kingdom.

Of course, they don't think there will be a war between the two countries, because the reason is simple.On one side is the Roman Empire, which will never take the initiative to go to war with Britain, because Britain's strong national power is beyond the reach of the Roman Empire, and it is also something they are afraid of, so the Roman Empire is absolutely unwilling to go to war unless it has to.

On the other side, although the British Empire seems to have strong national power and the most powerful sea power in the world.But warships cannot go to land to fight, and they have just suffered the defeat of the Boers in South Africa, but they have to end the war they provoked through peace talks.

It can be said that observers all over the world think so.They believed that what happened in Persia was just a crisis.A crisis between the great powers, although it would lead to mistrust between the Roman Empire and the British Empire, and even lead to future wars, is still a certain distance away from wars.

Peace...hasn't been affected too much!It's just that the occurrence of this crisis has further caused the world situation to slide in the direction of war.

February 23, [-].

The Persian Gulf is as calm as ever. Although it is winter in the northern hemisphere, February in the Persian Gulf is sunny and the temperature is pleasant. In the bay illuminated by the scorching sun at noon, a team consisting of three merchant ships and one The gunboat escort convoy was heading northwest.

Singer, in military uniform, crawled on the guardrail as usual, with his head down, vomiting sound from time to time. What should be vomited had already been vomited after lunch. Although he couldn't vomit anything now, he still seemed to be a conditioned reflex. retching.

The "Goodman Charlie" is a British merchant ship carrying nearly [-] officers and soldiers of the Anglo-Indian Legion. They set off from Mumbai and came here all the way to reinforce Persia and curb the expansion of the Russians in Persia.

The Russians are marching on Tehran!is threatening the interests of the British Empire in Persia.

But this is not important to Singer.

He is a soldier of the Anglo-Indian Legion, and the British are his masters. He will go there wherever the master tells him to, and he will fight whoever he asks.

No, for Singh, he never thought that sailing at sea would be so uncomfortable. This is his first time to go to sea, and he only served in India before.

"Laci, why did we get to Persia?"

"Soon, soon, Singer, tomorrow at the most..."

Lacy smoked a cigarette, glanced at Singh who was throwing up all kinds of meat and vegetables, and said.

"When you get to the shore, you can have a good meal."

"One more day!"

Just as Singer was complaining, Shang Lun suddenly blew its whistle.Then the crew ran back and forth in a mess, and most of the Indian soldiers by the railing asked curiously.

"what happened?"

"A warship, a Russian warship!"

"Look! There is a smoke column in the northwest!"

Because there was no telescope, the Indian soldiers on board could only see a plume of smoke at the junction of the sky and the sea in the northwest.

"It should be a Russian warship."

Captain Charlie said while holding the binoculars.

"Russians, what are the Russians doing here?"

The reason why they have such doubts is because they really don't know why the Russian warship came here.

Soon, the warship came into their sight, and it was the protective cruiser "Novik". Then under the gaze of the Indians, the "Novik" rushed straight towards it, and at the same time Hoist the signal flag "return immediately" and fire the cannon twice as a warning.

"What? Are the Russians crazy? What are they trying to do?"

After learning the news from the binoculars, the captain of the "Destroyer" gunboat, Captain Charno, opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"Damn Russians, don't they know we're the Royal Navy?"

The Russian naval officers and soldiers on the "Novik" must have known that it was a British merchant ship. The reason why they intercepted this convoy was because the tens of thousands of British and Indian legions carried on the three troop carriers were very important to the Persian forces in Rome. The strategic influence is so great that Constantinople asked the navy to prevent the Anglo-Indian Army from entering Persia.Only then was the interception of the "Novik" protected cruiser.

"Tell those damned Russians, this is the HMS Destroyer gunboat of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, and we have the right to sail in any sea in the world!"

Although there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, as an officer of the Royal Navy, Captain Charnot was undoubtedly extremely arrogant and conceited. He simply ignored the warnings of the Russians.

"Keep going!"

The Royal Navy is proud and conceited, so what if there is a disparity in strength?So what if we are just a thousand-ton gunboat?

The pride of the Royal Navy is here, so how can it be threatened by it.

Facing the unrelenting move of the "Destroyer", the protective cruiser "Novik" once again raised a semaphore to ask the opponent to evacuate.

"Destroyer, please evacuate immediately! Please evacuate immediately!"

At the same time, the gunners on the "Novik" have begun to turn their guns on the "Destroyer". It has to be said that the Russians are also conceited.

At least for Lieutenant Colonel Vasily, the captain of the "Novik", he is conceited and proud. Even when facing the Royal Navy, he still harbors hatred-his father died in the Crimea .

In fact, almost every noble family in Russia was killed or wounded in Crimea, and it is for this reason that many Russians went to South Africa as volunteers to support the Boers in fighting.

Britain ... owes Russia a blood debt!

Of course, I owe him Vasily's blood!
Facing the Royal Navy of the British Empire, the Russian polar bear will also not make any concessions.

"Go on! Answer them - we are the Royal Navy of the British Empire!"

Captain Charno turned his head to the first officer beside him and ordered.

Royal Navy of the British Empire!

Sometimes just such an answer is enough.

The Royal Navy of the British Empire - never surrendered!The pride built since Nelson will never be lost in one hand.

Now he will not give in either.

"The whole ship is ready!"

After the captain's order was issued, the British sailors entered combat readiness one after another. They swung the turrets, aimed at the Russian warship, and loaded the naval guns with shells.

Just at this time, a ray of dark clouds blocked the scorching sun in the sky.
