Chapter 831 The Most Powerful Power in History (First update, please subscribe)
On May 1876, 5, on the sea outside the French colony of Tripoli in Libya.

32 battleships and armored ships are moored quietly, the ships are like mountains, the masts are like forests, and the guns are like sticks.

The ships are covered with colorful triangular flags from the bow to the stern, and huge national flags are flying on the top of the mast and the bow and stern. There are French tricolor flags, Russian tricolor flags, and the flags of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. There is also the sun and moon flag of the Ming Empire—yes, this huge fleet came from the Ming Empire, the French Empire, the Russian Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. History will record the magnificent name of this fleet: the Imperial Alliance Fleet.

The Imperial Alliance Fleet, this is a fleet jointly formed by the four major empires. There are as many as 32 battleships and armored ships alone!
12 giant ships of 4 tons from France, Russia, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in a team of four, joined each other head to tail, anchored and turned off, and formed a long steel wall of several kilometers along the coastline on the Tripoli side.Within the long wall, 7000-9000-ton secondary warships such as the Nanhua class and Haiyang class of Shikoku lined up, and further inside were armored ships such as the Linhai class.

As for small warships such as light cruisers, they are gorgeously ignored here!In front of the giant cannon ship, they are like little mice.

Five days ago, in Coon Bay in Marseille, France, the Emperor of the French Empire inspected the neatly arranged French Imperial Fleet—16 battleships and ironclad ships, which constituted their main force. On that day, the 16 battleships as the core The "French Fleet" officially set sail for Libya, which had just been annexed.

What will be waiting for them here?

The fleets from the Ming Empire, Russia, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire also sent the main forces of their respective navies. The Ming Dynasty sent eight of the ten capital ships, while Russia sent all six of the capital ships, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire sent Two ships were dispatched!
After they met here, according to the order of the emperors of the four countries, they temporarily formed the "Imperial Alliance Fleet"!
This is the most powerful fleet ever built,
It does not belong to that country, but to an alliance - the Imperial Alliance!
"When the power of the four great empires is combined, the whole world will tremble!"

It turns out that the whole world did tremble!
At this time in Triripoli, all kinds of ships and wooden sailboats were coming and going near the fleet, and the sailors on board all cast their eyes full of emotions on these warships... joy, surprise, shock, envy, jealousy, Of course, hostility is indispensable!

After all, Britain, the most powerful maritime power in the world, owns almost one-third of the world's merchant ships, and there are many British sailors here.

However, regarding their hostility, the sailors on the "Imperial Alliance Fleet" simply ignored them.

After all, no matter what they think, the strength of this fleet is beyond doubt!

The naval officers and soldiers of the four countries on the battleship all had this idea, because they knew very well that the battleship they were on had the most powerful force in the world.

This can never be seen more clearly from their opponents, the British. When the British Royal Navy learned of the formation of the "Imperial Alliance Fleet", at this moment, they have established since the Nelson era by defeating the French and Spanish fleet. The proud and aloof mood instantly collapsed.

What a huge fleet this is!

This fleet is too huge, so huge that it has surpassed all the sea power of the United Kingdom.

In the past ten years, what has been the thinking of building the British Navy?

It means that the overall strength is equal to the sum of the second and third sea powers, but the total tonnage of the fleets of the four major empires far exceeds them, and even now they do not hesitate to bypass most of Europe and cross the turbulent Atlantic Ocean to send them The most cutting-edge warships have been dispatched to the Mediterranean Sea!

What could Britain, which once had the most powerful sea power in the world, think of in the face of such a sea power?
They have been hit hard like never before!
But the British are not afraid of being hit, and they will only become more and more courageous. The spirit of the Royal Navy of the British Empire is more dazzling and eternal than the strength of this alliance fleet.

Almost on the day the fleet was formed, in the Imperial Parliament in London, the Prime Minister, the Secretary of the Navy and other officials invented speeches-"We will make all countries that try to challenge the Royal Navy realize that they will always win There is no way to win this competition.”

What kind of competition is it?
It is an arms race in the navy. On that day, the Imperial Parliament passed a naval expansion plan to build a 40-ton capital ship in the next five years. Who is such a huge naval expansion plan aimed at?

Of course the Quadruple Alliance.

But all this takes time.

"We sadly discovered a fact - we simply don't have enough strength to fight against the Imperial Alliance!"

While the London press was discussing this reality in a tone full of sorrow and helplessness, off the coast of Tripoli, the Imperial Alliance fleet began their first joint exercise, which required 100% of their energy to invest After all, this fleet was established to deter their most powerful and dangerous imaginary enemy-Britain!
Through the show of strength, forcing Britain not to interfere in Turkey is the most important purpose of this fleet.

For a moment, the main guns on the sea roared, and the sea and air were filled with the roar of twelve-inch and ten-inch naval guns, and the heavy shells continued to hit the distance.

Amidst the sound of artillery resounding across the sea and air, Lin Yuehu, the commander of the left wing, just quietly observed the friendly artillery with a telescope.

"Their gunnery seems to be pretty good!"

"It can only be said that it is still a good deal, and the Russian side is a little bit less interesting."

At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Standing of the British Navy almost held the same opinion on the cruiser "Tripoli" a thousand miles away.

"Lieutenant Colonel Hans, have you noticed? The Russian artillery seems to be the worst in the alliance fleet!"

"Yes, Ming's artillery is the best, their rate of fire is faster and more accurate!"

Lieutenant Colonel Hans was still holding a cigar between his fingers as he spoke.

This cruiser is a "yacht" specially prepared by France for visitors from various countries. This is a 3000-ton yacht, and its name is to commemorate the occupation of Tripoli.

"However, this is not important, what is important is that they are now a whole!"

A whole!
This is the most frightening part of the Quadruple Alliance. They are not afraid of any of them, but when the Quadruple Alliance is combined, since it is as powerful as the United Kingdom, they have to be cautious.

At this time, the 32 battleships and armored ships of the four countries once again adjusted their formation according to the order, and then they bombarded the suddenly encountered target ahead again.

"See? This is what they want to achieve - we are here, either give way, or bear the consequences."

When the deafening gunfire sounded again, the huge battleship group in the distance spewed out puffs of white smoke, making them look more like mirages disturbed by clouds and fog.People who witnessed this fleet at this time can guess the power they store—this power is powerful!
It is enough to make any country awe and fear, and of course it will awaken some potential power!
Awaken the forces that have not been awakened in other countries. Of course, it will take time for these forces to be awakened.
