Wild North America 1846

Chapter 655

If you want to make it die, you must first make it crazy.

After a lapse of 15 years, Li Cha once again took action in person. With seven huge bald eagles on his back in turn, he will carry out unpredictable methods across a distance of 1100 kilometers.

It takes only six or seven hours to go from Mexico City to Florida for more than a thousand kilometers, under the full strength of the flying bald eagles.

Li Cha sat steadily on the back of a bald eagle with a body length of two meters and a wingspan of 4 meters. His eyes were slightly closed, and he let the cool sea breeze blow on his stern face, as if in a state of tranquility.

under the cold moonlight
Several black dots swept across the vast field quickly, and soon entered the vast Caribbean Sea...

Florida, Miami
The visiting fleet of the British Royal Navy, which arrived at the Confederate States Naval Base in the United Kingdom, was led by an ironclad ship "Warrior", accompanied by a small fleet composed of an 8560-ton displacement "Ajax" and two Royal Navy coal carriers. .

旗舰“勇士”号排水量9300吨，长128米，建造这艘巨舰用去了6000根橡木和1万多吨优质钢铁，在1853年建造的时候耗费了50多万英镑。

This huge ironclad ship is equipped with 40 Armstrong muzzle-loading guns, each of which weighs 9600 pounds. It was the top sea war monster in the 60s.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time, the status of the "Warrior" ironclad ship was quickly replaced by a more cutting-edge warship...

From 1871

The iron-clad ship "Warrior" has been refitted with many luxury suites on the negative 2nd floor. It is used as a ship for the visit of important figures of the British royal family and government, continuing its legendary career at sea.

The "Ajax" ironclad ship accompanying the visit is a cutting-edge warship just built in the mid-70s. It is one of the main ships of the Royal Navy's local fleet, with a displacement of 8550 tons.

This ship can be regarded as the British "Zhenyang" class ironclad ship. The two ships are similar in type, with a displacement difference of only 50 tons. The main weapons are also four 4-inch breech-loading main naval guns, and one bow is arranged. One stern.

The main guns of the British battleships were Armstrong 12.5-inch breech-loading guns, two in each turret.

This class of ship is powered by two reciprocating expansion steam engines, with an output of 6000 horsepower, and can reach a speed of 13 knots, which is basically the same as the "Zhenyang" class.

The difference is that the manufacturers of the main naval guns and steam engines are different, and the output horsepower is slightly different. The main engine of the "Zhenyang" class has a higher horsepower, and the speed is half a knot faster, that's all.

The "Admiral" class ironclad ship to be built by the British Royal Navy has a displacement of 10800 tons. It can be regarded as the British "Duke" class or the firepower-enhanced "Zhenyang" class ironclad ship. The design concepts of the two are so similar resemblance.

But if you question the British Royal Navy with this, the other party will not admit it even if you kill him. I really can't afford to lose that person.

Miami's Navy Pier
The "Warrior" ironclad ship and the "Ajax" ironclad ship were all hoisted with full flags, the lights on the ship were brilliant, and the beautiful melody of the symphony was faintly heard.

Lord William Ewart Gladstone and a group of fellow members of the two houses of parliament are holding a grand reception here to reward government officials headed by President John F. Kennedy of the Confederate States of America and local white elites The hospitality that the community has always had.

The luxury dinner held on the warship was very high-standard, and none of the high-class Chinese dignitaries were invited. Qing Yishui was all white high-society dignitaries, mainly British celebrities.

The instigation of the senior shit stirrer starts now...

"...

Gentlemen, ladies, and distinguished guests;
It was going to be a wonderful night, a pure night, a night of reliving the struggles of the Protestants in the New World, a night of thanksgiving to God. "

Congressman William Ewart Gladstone stood in the center of everyone's attention, holding champagne in his hand and said in high spirits.

The "pure" words with deep meaning in his mouth won warm applause from all the white upper-class gentlemen and military officers present, as well as titters from the ladies.

have to admit

The southern part of the United States is a place with strong racial-discrimination atmosphere. More than 7% of the white people are Tri-Christians. They are extremely conservative and stubborn, so the word "pure" can resonate with them even more.

Congressman William Ewart Gladstone's reputation has soared because of the public speech of the Great Tang Emperor in Mexico. He is at the highlight of his political career, and he looks particularly excited.

in this world
It's not like someone who makes some random remarks can arouse a positive and positive response from His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor. It can only be a dialogue between world-class powerhouses.

Just like Mr. John Kennedy, President of the Confederate States of America at the banquet, even if he yelled loudly, he would not get a single word of response. This is the gap!
So when Congressman William was speaking, the crowd was silent, and they were all listening to his speech seriously, and no one was whispering. This attitude itself shows extremely high respect.

MP William continued;

"Through these days of close contact and barrier-free communication, President John and I have further enhanced our friendship and gained a deeper understanding of his confusion and needs.

I will attend the Panama Summit with these issues and have a frank face-to-face exchange with the Emperor of Tang. I believe it will definitely promote the resolution of North American issues and create a better and more equal regional environment.

As for some issues concerning the cotton trade, I have spoken to my colleagues and their response has been very positive.

Please believe in the sincerity of the British Empire. We share common beliefs and cultures, derived from the Anglo-Saxon blood relationship, which is the most cherished common wealth.

I came here and brought with me the friendship of the British Empire, which will surely further promote the close relationship between the two countries, which is our common expectation.

I believe that with everyone's efforts..."

His wonderful speech won bursts of warm applause, especially when it came to the issue of cotton trade, the white slave owners present couldn't wait to stretch their ears to listen, their faces full of longing.

These southerners are so easy to deceive, a few good words can make their heads spin with joy.

think carefully

It will be found that Congressman William Ewart Gladstone has no substantive promises. They are all visions, expectations, joint efforts, etc., without any substantive content.

He himself is now the leader of the Liberal Party, the convener of the parliamentary party group with important influence in the lower house of parliament, and he is not the prime minister or minister in charge of government decision-making. Why should he make empty promises?
If the Confederate States of America did not give up slavery for a day, it would cause serious harm to the cotton industry in the vast British colonial area. Even if they stood in the position of the ruling party, it would be impossible to make wedding clothes for others regardless of the interests of the United Kingdom.

This is simply a fantasy, it will never happen.

But the big white slave owners present just followed suit, as if being poked at the G-spot by Mr. Congressman's words, the atmosphere immediately became heated.

"Honorable Lord William, the Tang Dynasty has always been domineering in the Americas. Whether it is trade, economy or military, it is all about me. Whether the British side can remind me in a timely manner is a major concern of many countries."

"That's very good, sir, this is exactly one of the topics that the Emperor Tang and I will discuss, and I will tell him bluntly... With Britain's experience in leading the world for hundreds of years, how should I get along with my friends? "

"You are very good, Your Excellency Lord William, the dumping of industrial products in the Tang State has seriously hurt the development of local industries. If this problem is not resolved, the future of the Allied States will be worrying!"

"The issue of industrial development and commodity dumping is also one of the topics discussed between me and the Emperor Tang. As the first country in the world to step into industrialization, the British Empire will always take care of each other's concerns when getting along with friends. During the official meeting, I'll bring that up."

"Thank you very much, my lord. Through charity and private schooling, the Tang Kingdom has established hundreds of schools in the allied countries to teach Chinese, and also built Taoist temples and temples everywhere. Many white children can't even use English proficiently, let alone Understanding the priest's sermon caused me deep anxiety."

"Thank you for your frankness, sir. To maintain the traditional beliefs and cultures of the white world and our traditional way of life is a principle that cannot be compromised. I will make a solemn warning in the dialogue with the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This is the will of Great Britain . . . " replied the MP William Ewart Gladstone with a blunt air.

Holding a champagne glass in his hand, he spoke with a strong London accent, almost saying "I have a conversation with the emperor of the Tang Dynasty", and his face was full of arrogance.

A look of "I want to teach the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to behave", the whole person is immersed in the dream of infinite heights...

a few hours later

At the end of the drink, everyone dispersed, only the brilliant lights on the "Warrior" ironclad ship remained on all night, illuminating the charming night view of the Miami Naval Base.

In the corridors covered with thick carpets, there are luxurious palace-style decoration suites one after another. The members of parliament and the senior admirals of the Royal Navy who spent a wonderful night all fell into a deep sleep under the influence of alcohol.

At this time, it was about four o'clock in the morning, and it was the time when the night was darkest.

But the lights in the corridor were still as bright as daylight. Some of the naval guards leaned against the bulkhead and dozed off, and some sat directly on the carpet with their guns in their hands, resting their minds in a half-sleeping state.

The nobles of the upper class had fun in the luxurious banquet, and the poor navy soldiers at the bottom accompanied them to stand guard, and they were already too tired to keep their eyes open.

A gust of breeze drifted by in a trance, it seemed to be just an illusion...

Li Cha pushed open the door and walked in. The one who opened the door for him turned out to be a big gray and white mouse. It was thanks to this big mouse that he was able to find Mr. William's room accurately.

in the room

Councilor William fell asleep in the soft quilt, snoring loudly, not aware of the approaching danger at all, with a strange smile on his face, as if he was still immersed in the highlights of his own fantasy.

Li Cha carefully looked at the sleeping face of this veteran British politician. This man had a big hooked nose unique to the British, and he was severely bald. His face revealed shrewdness and calculations. He was a middle-aged politician in the prime of his life.

in the original history

This person still has more than 20 years of brilliant experience in the British political arena. Three British Prime Ministers have held the position of Liberal Party Leader for 33 years, and he has left his deep personal mark in Great Britain.

Well, don't be a monster, let's stop here.

Li Cha walked into the bed and just lightly pressed and patted his abdomen. The pressure weighed hundreds of pounds, and immediately caused Senator William to vomit out his full drink.

A slap on the top of the head had already shattered his brainstem.

Looking at the mess, the bedding exuding a strong sour smell and the thoroughly dead Lord William Ewart Gladstone, Richard sighed softly and said;
"There are tens of thousands of roads in the world, why do you choose to be contrived with me? Let's go with peace of mind. In the next life, remember not to mess with people you can't deal with."

He turned and left and closed the door smoothly. The big gray mouse clicked inside the door and locked the door again.

in the blink of an eye
Li Cha's figure disappeared in an instant, and he jumped straight from the side of the ship into the sea, hiding in the thick shadows.

Even if someone sees it, their eyes will dazzle, mistakenly thinking that they are overworked.

Li Cha, who jumped into the shadow, was carried by a shadow swiftly passing over the sea and flew into the distance, and soon disappeared on the turbulent sea.

Day 2 early morning

The entire Ironclad Warrior was like a bombed nest, and there were officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy running around in panic, and the entire Miami Naval Base was tightly blocked.

At the dinner yesterday, Mr. William, who was still alive and kicking, was found dead and stiff in the early morning. This is simply unimaginable.

The entire British Royal Navy visiting fleet was on the verge of a formidable enemy, and the MPs accompanying the visit were even more arguing and talking about everything.

The most creepy thing is that he may have been harmed by some kind of oriental spell, because Mr. William offended the oriental gods or something, so he died suddenly on the way.

Rear Admiral Mark Craven of the Royal Navy's visiting fleet was even more mournful, and his face was uglier than that of a dead mother.

Such a big man in London politics died in his own fleet, on his own flagship, do you think it is bad luck or not?Unlucky or not?

Waves of doctors and senior magistrates arrived on the ship, nearly turning Lord William Ewart Gladstone's luxurious suites upside down.

Inch by inch inspection, any clues are not let go.

in the evening
to draw authoritative conclusions;

His Excellency Lord William died of suffocation because he drank too much wine last night, vomited in the middle of the night, blocked his mouth and nose, and suffocated.

The vomit extracted from Lord Lord's mouth, nose and trachea, together with the vomit on the bed was accurately measured, weighing as much as 2 pounds, 7 ounces and 11 drams, which is enough to suffocate to death.

This authoritative argument is a bit outrageous, but it is reasonable, because this morning the door was forcibly broken in and there was a lot of noise.

The oak doors on the warship are made of very solid materials, all of which are made of a solid oak plank three fingers thick. It took three big men in turns to split it with axes for more than 10 minutes.

If the lord hadn't locked the door inside, who else would?
You must know that only Lord William slept alone in the dormitory, and the only round porthole was closed tightly, so that not even a fly could fly in.

After learning of this result, Rear Admiral Mark Klevin, commander of the visiting fleet, finally let out a long sigh of relief;

It's okay, it's okay, it was a false alarm for nothing!
You drank too much and suffocated to death with your own vomit blocking your mouth and nose. This kind of death test has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with the Royal Fleet. Who can watch you every minute while sleeping?

The British Royal Fleet took the lead in accepting this authoritative assertion. The chattering British MPs basically witnessed the scene. Although they still had doubts, they had to admit that it was reasonable.

This unlucky fellow can only be said to have been summoned by the Lord.

Next Step

It's a traditional burial, and it's the hot August now, and Lord William's body has already started to stink, so it's definitely impossible to transport it back to England for burial.

A happy event has turned into a funeral, and for this group of high-spirited congressmen, they are all wilted without a blow to the head.

Without a leading figure, who is qualified to talk to the Tang emperor?
