Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Mizuki Nagata was one of the commanders of the Japanese Volunteer Aid Force back then. He went to China with Nogi Nozomi. After listening to his words, Nogi Noki asked, "Where is the British special envoy now?"

Mizuki Nagata replied: "Now we are in the best posthouse in Wangjing."

Nogi Xidian said: "Very well, let's go to the post house now." The two got into the car, and Mizuki Changtian asked on the way: "General Nogi, is Gaozong Lixi still the same?"

Nogi Xidian snorted coldly, and said: "Of course it's the same old way. I said ten words to him and he didn't bother to answer me. He was listless about everything. He would do what we said, and he would do what we didn't say." Absolutely not, as if he were a marionette,"

Mizuki Nagata smiled and said, "Isn't such Gaozong Li Xi in line with the interests of the empire?"

Nogi Xidian smiled wryly, and said: "The interests of the empire, now that North Korea is about to fall into the hands of Lin Yuan, what benefits are there?"

Mizuki Nagata's expression darkened when he heard Nogi Nozomi's words, and he stopped talking. The car quickly stopped near the post house. Nogi Nozomi got out of the car, and at this moment he heard noisy voices coming from inside. Nogi Nozomi frowned, saying Mizuki Nagata said: "The posthouses are full of foreign envoys, and the quarrel is to disgrace our Great Japanese Empire. Mizuki, go and see what's going on."

Mizuki Nagata walked in, and after a while the noise subsided, Mizuki Nagata came out, and Nogi Nozomi asked, "What happened?"

Mizuki Nagata said: "It was the British special envoy who suspected that we did not give him British coffee but Chinese coffee. He felt that we did not pay enough attention to him, so he sent his men to argue. There were some problems in communication between the two sides, and the quarrel broke out. No big deal, I have already persuaded the two sides to settle, "

Nogi Nozomi frowned and said, "Is there any difference between Chinese coffee and British coffee?"

Mizuki Nagata said: "British coffee is freshly ground from coffee beans, while Chinese coffee is packaged ground powder that is drunk with water. The coffee that our posthouse supplies to envoys from various countries has always been Chinese coffee. , never had a problem, but the British envoy raised objections, "

Nogi Xidian thought in his heart: "The British are like this. They follow the old ways. They think that they are the only ones in the world. They instinctively reject things from other countries. Alas, they don't know that the world is going to change," Nogi Xidian thought so. , but he didn't say anything, and went straight into the post house.

Nogi Xidian came to the meeting room and soon saw the British special envoy. He was a thin old man with gray hair and eyes full of piercing light. Nogi Xidian smiled and said: "Mr. Special Envoy, hello,"

The special envoy said "Hello", and then winked at his subordinates, who took out a document from the briefcase, handed it to Nogi Nozomi, and said, "Your Excellency, this is the credential of the British Empire government. Please take a look, "

Nogi Noki glanced at the letter of credence, which was the appointment of the special envoy by Queen Victoria. From the letter of credence, Noki Noki saw that the name of this special envoy was Maxwell Merrison, so Nogi Noki returned the letter of credence to Merrison and said with a smile : "Mr. Merrison, is your visit to North Korea going well this time?"

Merison smiled lightly and said: "It went well, but we were spotted by the warship of Lin Yuan's army on the way, and they sent people on board to check us. Fortunately, we pretended to be missionaries, so they didn't recognize us. real identity,"

Nogi Nozomi then asked: "May I ask if Mr. Merison is here this time?"

Melison said: "Our Far East Fleet of the British Empire has set sail from the port of Kolkata in India today, and will arrive at our colony of the British Empire, Hong Kong, in five days, and will arrive at the port of Incheon in North Korea in three days. I believe you are very clear about the purpose of the fleet coming this time."

Nogi Xidian's eyes lit up, and he said, "The fleet of your country must have come to help us fight against Lin Yuan, right?"

Merison smiled leisurely and said, "To be precise, it is to save you,"

Although Nogi Xidian was upset when he heard the word "rescue", he still said happily: "With your country's help, we can get out of the predicament."

Merison said: "I am here this time to see your country's attitude towards the situation in North Korea and your future strategy. Do you want to withdraw or stay in North Korea?"

Nogi Xidian said sadly: "Of course we want to stay and drive Lin Yuan's invading army out of North Korea, but this goal has become very unrealistic now, Lin Yuan's army is too powerful, and more importantly, : Lin Yuan has sent out the signal to attack the Japanese mainland on many occasions, so our Supreme Command has already begun to prepare for the defense of the mainland, so we may withdraw some troops from North Korea,"

Merison laughed and said: "What our British Empire means is: you don't want to withdraw from North Korea, or stay here. As for Lin Yuan's troops, let us handle them. The strength of our Far East Fleet is definitely higher than that of Lin Yuan's fleet. As long as we make a move, Lin Yuan's fleet will definitely be defeated by us,"

Nogi Nozomi smiled and said: "Mr. Merison, since you are so confident in your country's Far East Fleet, may I ask if there are any advantages in its strength?"

Merison smiled and said: "General Nogi, if someone else asked me this question, I would definitely take it as an offense to our British Empire, but since you asked it, I will patiently answer it for you. First of all, The Far East Fleet is part of our Royal Navy of the British Empire, and our Royal Navy has a glorious history of more than 500 years,"

"In the history of our Royal Navy, we have defeated the French Navy and the Spanish Armada. Countless heroes have emerged, and we have accumulated countless glorious traditions and backgrounds. In contrast, Lin Yuan's navy has only been established for two years. What kind of history is there? What kind of tradition and heritage is there? In the face of our glorious tradition, it is bound to be vulnerable,"

Nogi Xidian was shocked when he heard these words, and thought: "Could your glorious tradition be able to block the missiles of Lin Yuan's troops?" So Nogi Xidian asked: "May I ask if your country's fleet is technically capable of defeating Lin Yuan?" What is the superiority of the Far Fleet?"

Merrison laughed and said, "I'm not sure about that. In short, once we, the British Empire, make up our minds to save you, your suffering will be over."

Nogi Nozomi agreed with a smile, and the two of them said a few more words, Nogi Nozomi came out of the house, and Mizuki Nagata said as soon as he got outside: "Is this guy named Merison reliable? Listen to what he says Glorious tradition, can glorious tradition withstand missiles?"

Nogi Xidian sneered, and said, "No matter whether he can block the missiles of Lin Yuan's troops, even if their warships are sunk by Lin Yuan's troops, this is a godsend opportunity for us,"
