Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Maybe Benjamin was too patriotic, too concerned about Britain's marine interests, so he was very sensitive to threats from the sea, such as that mysterious battleship.

"Your Majesty, on account of Royal Navy, please make up your mind to eliminate Xiao Letian as soon as possible! The two sea battles between the Ikek and the Dakar have proven the outstanding performance of this mysterious warship, and I have also done research with the naval engineers before … "

"Our experts are extremely shocked. From the broken intelligence report, they were able to deduce some of the basic stats of this warship … This should be a pure Iron-armored battleship, from dragon bones to its outer shell all cast iron, and only with this kind of ship's structure can it be fitted with a 210-caliber giant cannon … ")

"That's right. Judging from the destruction caused by the two naval battles, the main cannon of this warship must be around 210 mm... Abandoning numbers to choose power, this kind of thinking is very bold, even us British Navy would not dare to make this kind of attempt! "

"The power of the cannons has been increased, but the number has been reduced. Only the central axis can be used to attack from all angles with a rotating turret. This kind of brand-new artillery arrangement will naturally give birth to a brand-new tactic. This tactic has already been verified in these two naval battles …"

"Based on all of these factors, our experts are all certain that Xiao Letian has mastered a set of mature new warship technology, and even more terrifying is that he has already researched and developed a complete set of new tactics. You can deduce such a feasible new strategy for naval warfare before the new warship is launched? "

"Is he a prophet?"

"Threatening!" This is the biggest deterrence of our British Navy … " The Queen and Count de Beer were already a little shaken, but Benjamin's following words had angered a person.

"The bigger threat is Prussia! "This warship is definitely Prussian. Not many countries have such an industrial standard right now, so it's absolutely impossible for us and the UK to have it. The United States is in the vogue of isolationism right now. They won't get involved in the maritime hegemony …"

"The Russian and Xiao Letian are completely enemies. The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Spain and other countries don't have such a strong industrial foundation … The only possibility is Prussia! "

"Only in this big coal iron country, only Prussia, a country rich in strict engineers and soldiers, could produce and be willing to give Xiao Letian a warship. This means that Prussia has completely mastered the production technology and tactics of this warship!"

"That's the scariest part. If Prussia joins the Navy Club, if their strategic center of gravity shifts to the ocean, our British Empire will be threatened!"

"No, absolutely not … Prussia cannot become a maritime state, so he should obediently stay in the interior under our baton. They only deserve to eat the leftovers from our trade chain. "We definitely won't allow it …"

"Why?!" A childish voice was immediately heard as the side door of the concert hall was smashed open. An eight to nine-year-old boy walked out. His face was covered with royal clothing and was flushed red.

"Say that again!" Why can't we have a navy in Prussia? Why can't we own colonies? Why should we eat your leftovers? Mr. Benjamin, if you don't give me an explanation, then you have to give the entire Prussian Kingdom an explanation … "

When Benjamin and Count de Beer saw that the child had appeared, they immediately stood up with reddened faces. "Respected Prince … You misunderstand... "You, you, you really misunderstood …"

This child was the biological grandson of the Queen Victoria, and also the first grandson, the biological grandson of the King of Prussia, the son of Prince Karl, the Young William.

This was the future ruler of the Prussian Kingdom, so everyone called him little prince. In addition, he was the eldest daughter of the Queen Victoria, which made his position very strong, making him a high prince within the circle of European aristocracy.

Just now, he accompanied his grandmother to listen to the piano music in the music hall, but Benjamin and his group interrupted the little prince's enjoyment of the music. In order to prevent the little prince and the others from coming to the small hall at the side, they opened a book to kill time.

In the beginning, he did not pay much attention to the situation. After all, the distant China did not have much of a relationship with him. However, Benjamin dared to attack Prussia in the end, causing the little prince to become furious.

He ignored the obstructions of the palace servants, knocking down the door and questioning Benjamin's words loudly.

Although Benjamin was a mature politician, he knew that there was something wrong with his words. No matter what, Prussia was a country that was related to Britain by marriage, and there were some words that could be said behind the scenes, but could not be put on the surface.

The little prince looked at Benjamin who was completely red and speechless and said, "Whether Prussia will go to the ocean or not, it should be decided by the Prussian Kingdom. I even more so don't believe that my grandmother will grab my grandson's neck and make him starve to death! Do you think this grandson of mine would turn against his grandmother? "Will I compete for the benefit of the British seas?"

"Yes, even if Prussia were to head to the sea, it would only be searching for a way out under the protection of my grandmother's wings. This is my grandmother's love, and this is definitely not some leftover food!"

The angry Young William's eyes were red. He turned his head and ran to Queen Victoria's side, crying as he pulled at his grandmother's clothes. Grandmother, please don't drive me away. I don't want to go to the servants' room for leftovers! Didn't you say that when I grow up, you will send me a battleship? You also said that you wanted to give me the title of General of British Navy, did you not want me anymore? "

If one were to say that they were related by another generation, that would be true love! Even if Queen Victoria was a politician, don't forget that she also had a grandmother called the European royal family.

He was the son of the Grand Princess, her first grandson and the one she was raising. The nine-year-old William had spent more time in London than in Berlin, and his relationship with his grandmother had even surpassed that of his grandfather's.

Actually, in the world of 19, there were soap operas of old people fighting over grandchildren. Who would raise grandchildren? This problem was as difficult as falling into the water with his wife and mother to save them first.

Prince Karl had married the Grand Princess of the British royal family, and his country's strength was definitely much stronger than Prussia's. Hence, at home, did not dare to stop his wife's decision, especially the matter of educating his children.

Grand Princess wanted Young William to receive education in London, so he brought William to England. He grew up under his grandmother's tutelage and had a good relationship with his cousin, Qiao Zhi V.

It is worth mentioning that in the First World War, these two cousins fought the most fiercely, but that was another story. At least for now, the nine-year-old William is a treasure to the Queen at Buckingham Palace. Who dares to insult him?

"Oh my Young William, don't cry, why would Grandmother let you eat leftovers? Benjamin had only made an inaccurate analogy with it. This was unintentional, but it did not mean that Britain was going to do anything … "Alright, be good and listen to me. You can accompany Grandmother to eat lunch later!"

"No …" I want to be a admiral, I want to be one! "

I promise you, when you are eighteen years old, I will definitely let you become a general of the Royal Navy, okay? "When the time comes, Grandmother will give you a beautiful battleship, with sails as white as the clouds …"
