Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1146

[Chapter 1135 The smell of gunpowder]

“It’s over now. The Emperor will definitely skin us when we return to the Empire. These British people will definitely use a magnifying glass to take a closer look at our equipment.”

As soon as he arrived at the London barracks, Liu Chen immediately started wailing.

Yue Yun glanced at the place where he was staying temporarily. The decoration was relatively elegant, like an officer’s residence. From this, he judged that the British did not want to make things worse yet.

“Vidomia is a powerful character. We did suffer a loss this time, but this will also make the emperor more wary of the British and speed up the pace of dealing with the British.” Yue Yun said.

After a pause, he comforted: “As for our weapons, they may be able to see some tricks, but they can’t produce them just by seeing the tricks.”

“Even so, they will eventually figure out something. Once They will start production as soon as their industrial capacity is reached,” Liu Chen said.

Yue Yun laughed, “By then, even without these, they will be able to produce.”

While the two were arguing about this matter, Hu Chuan and Kang Ming’s investigation got into trouble.

According to the Imperial soldier, during the crowding, a protester suddenly pounced on him and pressed his hand on the trigger, which led to him shooting a protester.

However, the results of the British investigation were completely opposite. They denied the claims of the imperial soldiers. According to the protesters, it was the imperial soldiers who actively pulled the trigger.

As a result, the investigation has reached a stalemate.

While investigating, a large number of scientists appeared on the Imperial warships, using rulers to measure the size of the warships.

Enter the cabin to observe the internal power system, and record the structure of the rotating turret in the turret.

Another group of firearms experts are studying Han-style rifles and long flat machine guns, as well as metal bullets and artillery shells.

At the same time, London newspapers reported overwhelmingly on the shooting incident at the port. For a time, the whole of London was filled with a feeling of hatred against the empire.

In sharp contrast, Victoria’s toughness in this incident was highly praised by London citizens, and this praise continued to spread from London to other cities.

In a short period of time, the British recognition of Victoria increased rapidly.

In the House of Representatives, Victoria also gained a lot, with her opponents abandoning their positions and supporting her.

This incident successfully allowed Victoria to achieve her ambition.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. After achieving some of her goals, Victoria personally came to the British military camp in London.

“General Yue Yun, I’m very sorry. The investigation of the shooting incident at the port has been completed. We have just arrested an illegal organization in London. They organized the protest and committed perjury.” Vidomia had a smile on her face.

Victoria has never been so happy since she ascended to the throne of queen. Through this incident, she successfully seized the military and political power of the UK, and her support rate in the UK has increased unprecedentedly.

The most important thing is that the empire’s most advanced equipment has been carefully studied by them, although Britain’s current industrial capabilities cannot be copied.

However, they have mastered the principles and structures of some weapons, which the UK can focus on research on. The most important thing is that these weapons provide a direction for the development of British weapons.

Once Britain’s industrial capacity is reached, they will produce these weapons.

There was a hint of cynicism on Yue Yun’s face, and he said to Victoria: “Can a misunderstanding make the empire’s soldiers suffer these humiliations in vain?”

“Of course not, Britain and the empire currently have a good relationship, and we have already punished them severely. To compensate for your losses, these troublemakers, we will provide you with various supplies for free this time and compensate you with a compensation of 200,000 pounds to make up for the half-month delay.” Victoria took a very low stance. .

Yue Yun sneered, “Her Majesty the Queen is really good at it. I hope the next time we meet is not on the battlefield.”

Victoria’s face changed slightly. Yue Yun was already a naked threat.

But she was mentally prepared. After all, this incident would be a humiliation for any country.

What’s more, the Eastern Empire behind Yue Yun was the country that had just defeated them.

It will definitely be very embarrassing for them to go back this time.

“Of course.” Victoria said calmly.

“In this case, I hope Her Majesty the Queen will provide us with supplies as soon as possible. We have been delayed in the UK for a long time and need to return to Her Majesty.” Yue Yun said. ,

After saying that, he took Liu Chen and other imperial soldiers out of the military camp and headed for the port.

Although they were treated well in the military camp, they really didn’t want to stay here for another second.

Returning to the warship, Yue Yun immediately ordered an inspection of all facilities on the warship and asked Liu Chen to check the weapons and ammunition.

Soon, Liu Chen got feedback.

“There are no missing weapons, but a rifle and a machine gun have obvious signs of reassembly, and ten bullets and three ammunition are missing respectively,” Liu Chen said.

“It’s just as we expected.” Yue Yun said with a frown.

After thinking for a while, he said to Hu Chuan who came after hearing the news: “You don’t have to worry about this matter anymore. Focus on the empire’s strategy. Once there is trouble here, I will definitely lead the fleet back. The British must pay back a hundred times.

“Don’t worry, we will not give up as long as we are alive.”

While the two were talking, a British convoy transporting supplies had arrived.

They sent coal to the battleship, and also provided a large amount of fresh water and food. They rested on the battleship for a day, and Yue Yun was ready to return to the empire the next day.

When the warship gradually left the British port, Liu Chen said: “General, don’t you leave some unforgettable memories for the British?”

“What do you want?”

“It’s better to blow up the Port of London.” Liu Chen said.

Yue Yun shook his head gently, “This is refreshing, but don’t forget that Hu Chuan and the others are still in London. If we are free, they will be in trouble. Why not just launch an artillery bombardment from a position of 300 meters.”

Liu Chen Looking over, he saw that three hundred meters away was basically the outer edge of London Harbor. He nodded and immediately asked the soldiers to aim and shoot.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Forty-two battleships opened fire almost simultaneously, and the roar of the giant cannons made the battleships ripple in the sea water.

The shell fell into the sea and caused huge waves. Such a big movement immediately panicked the British in the Port of London. Some crew members even jumped off the British ships in the port to escape.

In the Tulip Palace, Victoria also heard the rumbling sound of cannons. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but there was a smile on her lips.

At sea, the fleet that completed the bombardment slowly left London. Looking at the increasingly blurred coastline, Yue Yun said: “When all the coastal ports of the empire are completed, these British guys will not be able to laugh anymore.”
