Chapter 513 Where is Mrs. Wang pointing?The House of London, Great Britain! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

East of Portsmouth, Selsey Point.

This is a cape, just to the east of Portsmouth Naval Port, the old home of the Royal Navy, and the Isle of Wight, which is 20 kilometers away diagonally opposite, forms the two gate gods guarding Portsmouth Naval Port. .

Since it was actually at war with the Great Ming Dynasty, the Royal Navy began to expand the forts on Point Selsey and the Isle of Wight, built reinforced concrete gun positions, and erected more than 100 9.2-inch, 10-inch, and 11-inch guns , 12-inch large-caliber shore guns.

However, these coastal guns are not used to defend against the Ming navy, but to defend against the French navy—France will always be the number one imaginary enemy in the minds of the British!Of course, in many cases, this number one imaginary enemy cannot be put on the lips, just think about it in your heart.

Therefore, although the calibers of the cannons on the forts on the Isle of Wight and Cape Selsey are all tailor-made for the battleships of the French Navy with more than 1 tons to [-] tons, they claim to be able to break the [-]-ton class of the Ming Dynasty. Armor of a large battleship.

What's even more embarrassing is that the forts of the Ming Navy, which are used to defend against carrier-based aviation, did not think much about air defense.

But having said that, when the large fleet of the Ming Navy really set up a fleet-viewing formation and sailed to the English Channel off the Point of Selsey, the armaments of the Selsey Fort and the Isle of Wight Fort were completely "incredible." Enough" because these coastal defense heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns are completely useless. The only useful thing is the 24-inch howitzer used to fire a 3.7-gun salute.

"boom boom"

Amidst bursts of salutes, rows of battleships, battlecruisers, aircraft carriers, escort aircraft carriers, armored cruisers, large cruisers, second-class cruisers, torpedo destroyers, armored destroyers, destroyers, and other various All the ships passed near the viewing platform of the fort at Selsey Point in turn.

On the viewing platform, the British Union Jack flag and the Great Ming Sun and Moon flag fluttered. Queen Victoria I of the United Kingdom was dressed in a costume, wearing the crown of George IV, wearing a dragon robe and a crown of good wings, and King Lu Zhu Xiyou of the Ming Dynasty stood shoulder to shoulder. .On both sides and behind, there are still a group of civil and military dignitaries of the British Empire.On the embankment below the viewing platform, there were still countless British gentlemen and ladies holding small flags to welcome the large warship from the queen's in-laws.

Lin Zexu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ming Dynasty, Zhuge Weijiu, the special envoy of Ming Dynasty, and Natalie, who was pregnant with Liujia, had already boarded the viewing platform at this time, standing less than 20 meters away from Queen Victoria, and Members of the Rakshasa Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Algeria, and the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, who openly supported Victoria, watched the famous scene on the sea together with smiles.They also held small paper flags of Ming and Britain in their hands, and kept waving them there.

If you don't know this, you might think that Da Ming and Daying have been good friends for many years!In fact, until now, Ming and Great Britain have not formally signed a peace treaty, but only temporarily reached a truce agreement.

According to this truce agreement, the state of war between the two parties, that is, the Ming court and the government of Queen Victoria of Great Britain, is suspended until Queen Victoria and King Lu of the Ming Dynasty get married, and then discuss the issue of signing a permanent peace treaty.

But everyone knows that as soon as Victoria and Zhu Xiyou got married, Daying became "Xiao Ming". How could Da Ming make things difficult for "Xiao Ming"?
Now the continent of Europe has undergone drastic changes. When things within Great Britain are settled, maybe Rakshasa has become Eastern Rome, Germany has completed the unification, and Napoleon II of France has also done something to open up territories. Big deal!
If there is no relatively powerful United Kingdom to effectively intervene in European affairs, a unification war among the three major European powers, France, Germany, and Rakshasa, may be a high probability event.

"Your Majesty, I will issue a statement soon, recognizing that you are the only legitimate monarch of the British Empire, and will provide you with all necessary military, political and economic assistance! As long as you marry His Royal Highness Lu, we will also I will recognize you and His Royal Highness King Lu as His Majesty the Two Holy Majesties of the Indian Empire, I wonder when you are going to do good things with King Lu?"

After the last row of ships of the Ming Navy passed the sea outside the viewing platform, Lin Zexu, accompanied by Zhuge Weijiu, had already arrived at Victoria's side, and began to inquire about Victoria and Zhu Xiyou's marriage.While inquiring, he also looked at the two people.When Victoria heard Lin Zexu's question, her round and jade-like face was flushed, and she looked quite shy.And Zhu Xiyou seemed a little tired, could the tiredness on his face be from the fatigue of the journey?
The blushing Victoria did not directly answer Lin Zexu's question, but looked up at Zhu Xiyou (Victoria is a German foreigner, but she is short, so she had to look up to talk to the tall Zhu Xiyou), and smiled. Said: "Brother Xi, I listen to you. When do you think is the best time for us to hold the wedding?"

Hearing Victoria's question, Zhu Xiyou showed a smug expression on her face——Although the little girl Victoria is a little too enthusiastic about that matter, she is not particularly beautiful, but her personality is still very pleasing, little girl Niaoyi didn't say anything, but listened to men especially, and looked at Zhu Xiyou with a bit of admiration in his eyes.This makes Zhu Xiyou, the vase prince who has looked at the highest power since he was a child, but dare not even touch it, very useful.

Although he has not paid homage to Victoria yet, he is already the de facto King of England!And after Lin Zexu announced that Ming would recognize him and Victoria as the "Twin Saints" of India, he was already the de facto emperor of India!

For the elite of the United Kingdom, among the three parties vying for the right to rule the United Kingdom, whoever can secure India must have the last laugh!
So Zhu Xiyou pointed to the direction of London, raised his voice, and announced loudly in English: "Together with Victoria, I will lead the Royal Navy and Army to march to London, crusade against the rebels entrenched in London, and restore order there. Next month, I will marry Queen Victoria in London!
Now I declare that all rioters who lay down their arms will be forgiven, and all rebels who resist to the end will only die.If Prince William (Emperor William) is willing to give up the struggle, he will be treated like an overlord. After I become the emperor of India, I will also take a wealthy principality from the Indian crown territory and grant it to him and his descendants.

In addition, when the civil war is over, the United Kingdom will carry out comprehensive reforms, and the land owned by the royal family and the government will be redistributed to all United Kingdom citizens who have no land and are willing to cultivate the land.The discriminatory policy against Catholics will be completely abolished, and the English, Irish, Scots, and Welsh will all be equal members of British society in the future.Of course, I will convert to the Anglican Church before my wedding with Victoria, and become a believer in Heavenly Father, God!
