Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1142

[Chapter 1131 Free Navigation]

Brooke stood on the battleship of the Chinese Empire and looked at the city of London with mixed emotions.

After the negotiation failed, he explained the construction issues of the embassy and rushed to Dengzhou. At this time, he was catching up with the visiting fleet preparing to leave for Britain.

After discussing with the Empire’s Foreign Affairs Office, he was allowed to return to England on a steel battleship. After all, it took half a year to take an ordinary sailing battleship, but it only took three months for this kind of steel battleship to arrive in Europe.

After careful consideration, he still chose to shamelessly ride on the boat.

“Ambassador Brooke, your London city is just average.” Yue Yun stood beside Brooke with a trace of disdain on his face.

In the past, he often heard British prisoners of war talk about how prosperous London was. Only after seeing it did he realize how different it was from the imperial city.

Brooke was as embarrassed as if his bragging had been exposed. He argued: “At least in Europe, London is the most prosperous city.”

Liu Chen and Yue Yun looked at each other. They liked Brooke’s helpless expression.

“Well, I hope we can have a good time in London these days and send Ambassador Brooke ashore.” Yue Yun said.

This time they came to London in the name of a friendly visit, which required Brooke to inform them.

A small boat was quickly put down, and Brooke hurriedly took his entourage to the port of London.

The imperial battleships appeared in British waters and were quickly discovered. They seemed to be worried about the imperial attack. At this time, a huge fleet of sailing battleships was already in formation outside the port.

“Hurry up, hurry up!”

Brooke rowed the boat himself. The atmosphere of the confrontation between the two armies now made him a little nervous. He had gained something along the way. At least he had truly realized the terror of these steel battleships.

This fleet of forty-two ships is enough to easily destroy all fleets in Europe. This gap can no longer be made up by quantity.

So he is deeply afraid that his country will make the wrong decision.

But he was not the only one who was afraid at this time. Victoria, Murphy and others at the port were also nervously watching the steel battleships on the sea.

When they learned that a huge fleet was approaching London, their first reaction was that the Chinese Empire tore up the treaty and went to war directly with Britain.

“That’s Brooke.” Murphy pointed to the boat. “Your Majesty, the situation may not be too bad. At least they got Brooke back.”

Victoria’s brows furrowed. No other country’s fleet has ever dared to approach Britain at such a close distance. , this is clearly an insult to Britain.

The expressions of Hu Chuan and Kang Ming were completely opposite to those of the British. If they were not concerned about diplomatic etiquette, they would really want to cheer at the imperial warships.

During this period, their life in London was not very comfortable. They were followed, threatened, and lured. The British tried every means to destroy their inner defenses and let them act as double agents.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry, this is just the free navigation of imperial warships in Europe.” Hu Chuan said calmly.

Victoria’s face suddenly turned ugly, “Free navigation? When will your warships be able to sail freely in British waters? According to you, can British warships also enter your country’s ports to sail?”

“Of course, as long as Your Majesty’s warships can enter if they have the ability.” Hu Chuan emphasized his tone, which was obviously provocative.

Victoria’s hand with the white silk glove clenched tightly, and she took three deep breaths. She tried her best to smile, “Ambassador Hu, don’t worry, it was just a joke.” “

I was just joking too.” After all, he still has to do things in the UK and cannot go too far.

While everyone was waiting, Brooke quickly landed ashore. He came all the way to Victoria and explained the purpose of the empire’s fleet.

After confirming that the imperial fleet was just visiting, Victoria’s face looked better. Although she maintained calm on the surface, she was very scared inside, because she knew that the British navy would definitely be defeated just by looking at these steel battleships.

“We in Britain welcome the friendly visit of the Imperial Fleet, Murphy, and leave a place in the port for the Imperial warships to dock.” Vidomia said.

Then she took a few steps forward to avoid Hu Chuan and Kang Ming, and continued: “Let Kodia take those scientists aboard the ship. This is a rare opportunity. Let them find a way to make a steel battleship.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Murphy turned and left.

Brooke said at this time: “This visit by the imperial warships is ostensibly a visit. In fact, the real purpose is to intimidate Britain. I hope that your majesty will temporarily stop threatening the imperial mission.”

Victoria nodded, even a fool could see that the empire the goal of.

She sighed deeply. Now that the civil strife in France is expanding, no one can be sure of Andre’s future.

Among them are France’s dissatisfaction with Andre’s governance, and there are also careerists like Henry.

At the beginning of the war she had no doubt that André could defeat Henry, but now France’s situation took a turn for the worse.

Based on the intelligence she had gathered, she finally understood that there was also a shadow of the empire in this. Coupled with Hu Chuan’s contact with the English parliamentarians, she gradually became clearer about the empire’s strategy in Europe.

Although the armistice agreement was signed and the hot war ended, the secret battle had just begun.

However, she did not sit still. During this period, he sent envoys to Prussia and Tsarist Russia to seek to form an alliance. This was the best way to resist the empire’s interference in European affairs.

She would not sit idly by when it came to France. The empire supported Henry, so she chose Andre. Apart from not sending soldiers, she provided almost all help.

“I will do it, so will your negotiation have any results this time?” Victoria Mia has already guessed in her mind. After all, if the negotiation is successful, the empire will not humiliate them like this.

“Sorry, Your Majesty, the Empire refuses to accept any of our conditions. They even said they would use force if we dare to violate the agreement.” Brooke said.

Victoria was silent, and for a long time he patted Brooke on the shoulder, “There is a saying in the Chinese Empire that a gentleman takes revenge. It is not too late in ten years. One day we will fight back.”

After a pause, she continued: “Since In this way, you are ready to go to the United States and the Anglo-Saxons, hoping that they will be on our side at the critical moment.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Brooke said solemnly.

Now Britain even has to lower its head and negotiate with the betrayed colonies, which shows how determined it is to fight against the Chinese Empire Victoria.

Thinking of this, Brooke said: “Your Majesty, since the empire does not accept our conditions now, we must find every way to obtain their technology, even if it means spending a lot of money, even if we use the market and colonies in exchange for technology.”

One update.
