Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

When they had just started colonizing the world, the size of the battleship wasn't very big. The largest Sail battleship only had 21 cannons with it, which was the origin of the 21 cannons.

In the sail battleship era, the amount of time humans had to travel around the world was much more difficult than it was now. Sometimes, there would be a rebellion in the colonies, and it would take them at least a year or more to travel from news to the fleet.

It was just like how the English and French burned the Yuan Ming Yuan in 1860, but in reality, the prelude to war began when the Yarrow struck in 1856. The two countries of the English and French fought in the war for more than four years, starting from the diplomatic exchange. It could be seen how difficult it was to dominate the whole world.

Actually, it was not only the nineteenth century. Even the 21st century America, excluding those strategic missile weapons, would need time to move their aircraft carrier from one hot spot to another.

Struggling for supremacy in the whole world had never been easy, and it was impossible to suppress it with sheer force of arms. Therefore, the British Empire had always relied on deterrence and support of the spokesperson to exercise effective control over the colonies.

Anyway, the colonies were all a bunch of inferior barbarians. Every time the battleship passed a port, it would first explode once with an empty shell, and since there weren't any bullets, it wouldn't hurt anyone. However, in the midst of the roaring flames, the visual conflict and deterrence of the weaker races was extremely intense.

If they wanted to conquer the inferior peoples, they had to be afraid of them. The Chinese liked to do things in tandem with their benefactors, but the West was not like that. They were in the opposite order and had to show their power first before doing any favors.

The ceremonial cannon originated from the Navy's deterrent strategy, but with the increasing strength of the British Empire, the overseas colonies had gradually expanded, and until the appearance of the British Empire, this method of deterring using ceremonial cannons was gradually eliminated. However, as a type of ceremony in the Navy, it was passed down through the generations.

This was the highest etiquette the Royal Navy had for a Head of State. But today, it was used on the Ryukyu's Prime Minister, Xiao Letian.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The loud explosion of the ceremonial cannons echoed in the North Sea. Fire and white smoke were the dejected looks on the faces of the French soldiers s. At that moment, they seemed to have returned to Trafalgar.

The 21 cannon shots were only a form of courtesy in Xiao Letian's eyes, but in the eyes of a Frenchman, it was a threat.

Your f * * king French Fleet only has three poor little tonnage cruisers, and you still want to show off in the North Sea area? Who gave you this courage? Look at our Royal Navy, three battleships, five heavy cruisers, we have to be polite and courteous to the Eastern Prime Minister, where do you think you have the guts to humiliate a country's Prime Minister?

Sometimes, no one needed to say anything. Everyone was well aware that the world was always about the strength of one's fist.

Their expedition was personally ordered by Napoleon III, and for the sake of the dignity of the Emperor, they could not leave with their tails between their legs without even letting out a fart. Thus, after a long discussion among the French Captain, they finally decided to fart with unparalleled toughness towards the British … Oh,

"Respected British ally, we are the diplomatic ships sent by His Majesty the Emperor of France to welcome the Eastern Prime Minister. Our mission is to bring Mr. Xiao Letian to Paris as a guest. In ten minutes, the French navy will send a small boat to meet the Prime Minister of the East.

When the order was passed to the Sovereign King, the British Navy opened their eyes wide in disbelief, "Oh my god! Are these Frenchmen crazy? They actually dare to speak to Royal Navy in such a manner? "He's gone mad …"

"Looks like the information is accurate. This operation by the French was personally ordered by the emperor. These pitiful soldiers must show us their unyielding nature, or else they won't be able to return to report …"

"Then what should we do? Hehe … How dare you act cocky in front of the Royal Navy? I'm sorry, we never looked down on the pride of the French... "

"The fleet picked up speed and cut between the French and the Prime Minister of the Orient... Separate them! "Tell the French that we, the British Navy, are not responsible for anything that happens..."

As the strongest military force in this era, not only did the British Navy have the strongest warships, they also had the best quality soldiers. Under the Captain's command, the eight battleships looked like they were being controlled by a sophisticated computer. They drew an extremely standard arc in the air and flew in like a sharp knife.

This time, Xiao Letian could finally see the appearance of the main battleship up close. He and his new army officers only had one feeling, that it was big, surprisingly tall.

From the waterline all the way to the deck, they were at least five stories tall. The entire Captain was over 60 meters and the three floors were densely packed with cannon doors. From afar, they looked like the eyes of a sea monster.

The sailors standing on both sides of the deck were as straight as javelins. With their prideful expressions, it was obvious that they had rolled over from the Iron-Blood Battlefield.

The pitiful Portugal's merchant ship was not even half as tall as their ship, so everyone had to raise their heads to look at the mountainous battleship, while the British sailors on the deck could easily look down at everything.

Xiao Letian's face was a little hot. He was unable to stand on the mast and maintain a level relationship with the British sailors, but the way they looked at him did not have much respect, but a little pity. Maybe in the hearts of these British soldiers, the bloodbath on the stone bridge was a miracle, but it was only that much.

In the eyes of the Royal Navy, these Chinese, through their own hard work, could barely reach the point where the Royal Navy could treat them as equals. As for respect and the like, they were just jokes in the heart of the British Navy.

"Fuck, aren't you just bullying the fact that China doesn't have a navy? Wasn't it only six years ago that they took over the Beijing? Was it worth it? Your elder brother isn't inferior to any of you … "

Xiao Letian cursed in his heart, but in his heart, he was very clear that this Englishman had such a strong backing. Until the second world war, Britain's navy was the strongest in the world, the only one and not the only one.

At this time, Xiao Letian looked down at his brothers on the deck. He suddenly realised that the bandits, Taiping Army and the common folk of Ryukyu had all matured in an instant.

All of the brothers on the deck, as long as they were able to stand in it, stood at their best military strength. All of them had chests that were almost as high as a woman's. Even though they looked up at the British soldiers, the iron-blooded killing intent from their brothers could still intimidate those arrogant sailors.

Gradually, the soldiers on the ship realized something was amiss. Many of them withdrew their looks of disbelief, and some of them even straightened their faces to match the look on their faces.

"What's going on?" Captain, who was negotiating with the French, had thirty years of military experience. He did not even need to look at them, just smell them, and he could tell that there was something weird with the army.

When he turned around and walked to the Left side, he looked down at the small Portugal merchant ship and the old Captain could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Such a valiant military man … "What a cold gaze. Only now do I believe that all the information is true. This group of people have truly created a miracle. Only the elites of a hundred battles have this kind of military aura …"

Captain suddenly stood at attention, raising his hand and performing a military salute to Chinese Army. The other soldiers on the Monarch's ship all saluted when they saw Captain, so no one dared to neglect and collectively saluted.

Xiao Letian smiled and nodded, he raised his hand and returned the greeting to British Navy, he then thought to himself, "Is there still a Prime Minister in this world who pays his respects on a mast? Haha, I am indeed the best person in all of history … Haha, but one thing is for sure, I, Xiao Letian, am the world's youngest Prime Minister. Even if other old men want to, they wouldn't be able to climb up there … "

All of them were so angry that the veins on their foreheads were popping up. When the eight warships separated them and Xiao Letian, this mission could be considered a complete failure.

"Issuing Flag Words …" Resume Flags... Tell these Frenchmen that if they insist on doing so again, it will lead to a diplomatic dispute... I can't guarantee that I won't fire my gun... "Yes, these are my exact words. I will immediately send them out …"

This flaming banner ignited the anger of the British. Along with countless orders, the cannons on the side of the French warship were all opened, and murderous cannons were aimed at them.

"Retreat... Please do not challenge Royal Navy's tolerance, and do not delay our mission … " The Monarch's response was extremely tyrannical.

The Frenchman let out a sigh of relief. "Hurry, hurry. Where's the camera?" "Record the scenes of England preparing to fire their cannons. With these photos, we will be able to report back. At the very least, it will help to lessen the anger of His Majesty …"

These French Captain were really smart, they had only threatened the British to take a step closer, so that they could be exempt from punishment in front of the emperor.

This was the arrogance of a strong warrior. Even if Napoleon could punish the entire country, there was nothing he could do in front of the Royal Navy.

"My lord, look, France is retreating... The bunch of grandsons ran away... "Long live!" All the fishermen and sailors at the sea shouted excitedly. Only the Chinese were still looking at the British battleship calmly.

Since the tiger had chased away the wild wolf, then did the tiger have any plans? God knows!
