Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C2387 Father and son on the cruise ship

When Xiao Letian was having fun inside the Stonehenge, an unexpected conspiracy quietly landed in London, which changed Xiao Letian's vision of the future of Asia.

As the Thames River entered the mouth of the sea, an American cruise ship, the Mississippi, slowly approached. All the guests that had travelled across the ocean stood on the deck waiting for their destination, seeing the bustle on both sides of the Thames River, they all shouted in excitement.

Travelling across the ocean in that era was not only costly but also extremely dangerous. Who knew if this type of cruise ship could survive the storm and avoid the ice mountains. Even the occasional Atlantic pirates were a threat.

When they arrived at their destination in peace, almost everyone was singing the blessing of God, and the women even began to pray directly on the deck.

"Quick, look …" Just into the city... Wait, what is that? Everyone look... Is that … Chinese warships! "Quick, look …"

The Zhiyuan Warship moored at the side of tower bridge's pier immediately attracted everyone's attention. When they rushed onto the starboard side of the deck, they almost pushed the boat to the side, all of them sticking their heads out to look at the shining Chinese Zhiyuan Warship.

During the time they were at the Thames River, the Zhiyuan Warship had gone through a great ocean maintenance. It had even scraped the bottom of the boat and painted a new layer of paint in the dry dock at the British military port.

At the moment, the battleship didn't have the slightest trace of corrosion. It was shiny under the sun, especially the main cannon. Although it was wrapped in a cannon shell, people could still feel the destructive power hidden inside.

It was a unique battleship, completely unrelated to this era. It was filled with the feeling of science fiction written by Jules Verne.

There were also huge copper pipes on both sides that were pressurized by strong wind. The slender body of the ship could easily pierce through the waves, and one could imagine how fast this battleship would be on the sea.

A young child grabbed his father's arm and shouted, "Is this the Chinese battleship that participated in the Great Sea War of the Ikek? I know that sea battle, where this battleship was able to achieve complete victory without suffering any injuries! "

Aiyo, it's obvious that this child is from a rich family. For him to be able to know about the international events at such a young age, it means that his family is either rich or noble, and that he attaches great importance to education.

The father affectionately stroked his son's hair. "That's right, this battleship also participated in the battle of the Far Eastern Haishenwai, and during that war, he became the effective firepower suppression platform of the Chinese Army. The 210-caliber artillery controlled the whole battlefield of the city, and it also trapped the Russian Far Eastern Fleet inside the harbor."

"Truth is within range of the cannon! "Child, you must remember this!"

"Of course I remember, that was what the Prussian Prime Minister Bismark said in a speech! Father... I must get into West Point in the future! I want to command the America's army to win on the battlefield, we cannot lose to the Chinese! "

"Haha, my Xiao Panxing, your ambition is good, but you still have to learn. You're only nine years old, and your future path is still very long …"

If Xiao Letian knew who this little boy was, he would definitely be so shocked that his jaw would drop. Yue Sefu. General Pan Xing had actually steeled his resolve to join the army at the mouth of the Thames because he had seen the Zhiyuan Warship.

There were only two people in the history of the United States Army's special generals: President Washington and General Pershing, who had led the U.S. military into the first world war.

It is worth mentioning that Patton, one of the famous American generals of the second world war, was promoted by Pan Xing. The two were very close.

However, the current Xiao Panxing was only nine years old. No one, not even his most beloved father, could imagine just how great his child's future achievements would be.

However, a nine year old child was already different from ordinary people. He was able to accurately point out the major international wars that had occurred in the recent years. Furthermore, he remembered the major events well, so he was a little proud to hear his father's encouragement.

"Yes, father, I will keep your teachings in mind. Truth is only within the range of the cannon. "Haha, that's right. This battleship had even attacked the French Navy, and after a series of strategic bombardment by the Dakar, the core of the entire East African French colony turned into a sea of fire …"

"This naval battle has completely torn apart the French's cowhide. Maybe their army is the first in the world, but the Navy really is... "Tsk tsk tsk tsk …"

The speaker had no intention to listen. There were people from all countries on the cruise ship. Such blatant insults to France naturally made people unable to listen.

Several pairs of eyes that contained hatred stared at the father and son duo within the crowded crowd. The words that they had said just now had made them burn with fury. They looked at each other and didn't say anything … Suddenly, they took advantage of the moment when the Mississippi was closest to the Zhiyuan Warship to start moving.

At this time, the Mississippi just happened to pass by the Zhiyuan Warship, the distance between them was less than 20 meters, and people could see the details of the battleship more clearly.

At this time, everyone's attention, including the sailors on the boat, was focused on the Zhiyuan Warship. The crowd was even more crowded than before, and no one thought that someone would cause trouble at this time.

The three men in worn-out suits suddenly pushed forward. At this moment, everyone's center of gravity was leaning forward and stretching their necks to look at the battleship not far away. After being pushed by the sudden force, the group suddenly lost their balance, even the front part of them was pushed up against the railings.

The Mississippi was an old ship, a rebuilt brig with an old wooden hull, many of its railings decayed.

The assassin already knew the boat's condition like the back of his hand. He had never explained where Xiao Panxing was standing to begin with, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to support one or two adults. However, if they were to press their weights on the boat, they would have to break it.

With a "kacha" sound, the railings broke. More than ten passengers fell down from the cracks like dumplings falling. The scene immediately became chaotic.

"Hurry up and save them …" "Someone fell into the water, hurry up and save them …"

was bringing the Internal Affairs Soldiers to inspect the deck's hygiene. Once he saw that there was an accident, this fatty rushed over with a nimbleness that did not match his own body size.

"Save him! Gather the soldiers and jump into the water to save him!"

Putong! Putong! Putong! The Zhiyuan Warship was like a rainstorm as dozens of figures dove into the river.
