C417 Three battleships

"In the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by Britain, Germany, the Denmark, and Norway, Europeans call it the North Sea. "This is Sweden, Poland, Germany, the Denmark and other northern European countries' important transportation routes to and from the Atlantic Ocean. Since ancient times, it has always been a place where all armies fight …"

"The terrain of this region of the sea is very special. The British Isles and Iceland to the north have sealed up the North Sea like a lid. Any ships that pass by will be monitored by the British Navy …"

"Of course, the most unhappy one is the Russia. Although his vast territory has very long coastlines, more than 90% of these coastlines are in the icy cold zone. It's already impressive to have three to four months to defrost in a year, the only port you can depend on is St. Petersburg …"

"Unfortunately, St. Petersburg is hidden at the end of the Baltic Sea, and that area of water is also being suppressed by the North Sea. As long as the British block up the Kartegat Strait, the gigantic Russia Bear won't be able to charge into the Atlantic Ocean …"

The long journey had just begun, and Xiao Letian's little lesson for the brothers had already begun. Now that the boat was sailing in the North Sea, his lesson would naturally be concentrated here.

"I got it, no wonder Prime Minister kept emphasizing that Russia is the country that will be the biggest threat to us in the coming decades. Other European kings only want money, this polar bear is going to die!" An officer on the deck suddenly jumped up and shouted.

"That's right, that's right. Prime Minister said that in the future, whoever is able to control the sea will become the ruler of the world. Russian is trying very hard to build a Warm Water Port, they are building an army port! "

With a "pa" sound, Xiao Letian excitedly snapped his fingers, "Right, right, you finally understood it! "The French are on us now, but I don't think France is the biggest threat to us..."

"First of all, the strategy of the English and French is to establish colonies. They do not have much desire for China, occupying a few islands and ports is the best they can do. They do want to earn money from the bottom of their hearts …"

"However, this Russian is different. They have a clear territorial need, and their goal is to go from the cold zone to the south. This nation originally had an abnormal thirst for the territory, and with the strong need for the port in the temperate zone, the weak Qing Dynasty would naturally become meat on the chopping block."

Xiao Letian laughed bitterly: "Do you really think that the Russian supporting Yaqub in Xinjiang is like wanting to go to the Heavenly Mountain's grassland? They wanted to test the waters of the Pamir plateau, their goal is the sea of the Arabian … "

On the deck, ten over senior officers were surrounding Xiao Letian and listening to his lecture with rapt attention. Although the surrounding Portugal sailors could not understand Chinese, they could feel that it was very impressive.

There were many cargo ships from all over the world as well as countless fishing boats flying their sails. But one thing was for sure, as long as a ship sailed from hamburger Harbor and saw this scissor boat, they would all send their own signals and expressions of respect.

"Prime Minister... The Left side sent us another Prussian merchant ship, and they are paying their respects to you... " When the captain finished speaking, Xiao Letian quickly stood on the side of the ship and waved for everyone to hear him.

"Thank you! "Thank you …" Xiao Letian had been acting quite a bit along the way. His name could be said to be a household name in Prussia, and all the German captain sailors in this region of the sea all paid their respects to him when they heard that their benefactor from the east had arrived.

Just as Xiao Letian was waving his hands to show that he was a great man, suddenly, the sound of the lookout hand came out from the high mast of the merchant boat.

"Southwest direction, 7 o'clock..." Three large ships appeared... Speed: 10 secs... "He came straight for us …"

"What's going on?" When the Portugal Captain heard this, she quickly grabbed the binoculars and started to survey her surroundings. However, the distance was too far, even with the high power binoculars, it was only a vague shadow of three ships.

"Captain..." Give me your telescope... "The multiplier in my hands is too low …"

"Aiya, I'm really stupid …" The captain nervously tapped her forehead, and quickly had a nimble Sailor to send his binoculars up.

Just as Sailor was climbing, Sima Yun, Luo Huo and the others also surrounded him and asked simultaneously, "What happened? What happened? "What's on the surface of the sea?"

He didn't know how to explain that this ocean-going mission was personally arranged by the Prussian Prime Minister. He wanted to use the Portugal, this neutral country's vessel, to ensure the safety of the guests from the East.

Furthermore, the background of this ship was very deep, and the shareholders behind the scenes had the shadow of the British royal family. Even though it was just an ordinary small-sized scissor boat, the goods that it pulled every year were all top-grade goods that were hard to buy even if one was rich.

The captain was a smart person, he had already done his homework before taking on the job. He had already investigated how important Xiao Letian and the others were to Prussia and how high their identities were.

"Don't let anything happen to him! "God bless, I must not have any accidents …"

At this time, the lookout hand above suddenly let out an extremely terrified roar, "Not good …" It's the French flag... It's a warship … "Three heavy cruisers …"

He was really afraid of anything that might come. The Portugal Captain clenched his fists so tight that the sweat in his heart was about to turn into a stream. If it were the biggest flag in the Portugal, and the flag of our Chamber of Commerce, I don't believe that they have not heard of our name before … "

The speed of the boats was very fast. After a while, everyone on the deck could see very clearly even without binoculars. At this time, the French cruiser on the opposite side sent a signal in the language of flags.

"Sail down... Slow down... Let us be examined? Bastard, why should they, the French? "This is the high seas …" After a few sentences, Qong Yu started cursing.

The captain was also angered. "Send the signal and tell him that this is the high seas, they have no right to check our ships, and France and the Portugal are not at war, what do they want to do …"

However, once the signal was sent, even Xiao Letian could tell that something was wrong. The group of Frenchmen could not even be bothered to reply as they suddenly opened all the cannons on both sides of the ship, showing their power to the merchant ship.

On the vast North Sea, killing intent filled the air. The fishing boats and cargo ships were all scared silly when they saw this scene. However, it didn't even take three minutes for them to turn around and flee.

Xiao Letian placed his hand on the captain's shoulder, sighed and said, "They were aiming for me, although I have lowered the limit of Napoleon III again and again, but I am still wrong. I only now understand that this war madman has no standards, he is essentially a scoundrel!"

After saying that, Xiao Letian fiercely turned his head back. "Brothers, this is the sea, and we don't have a single battleship by our side … If we were on land, maybe I could bring you guys to another fight and use my bullets, bayonets, and blood to teach this group of French a lesson. But unfortunately, this is an ocean … "

Xiao Letian punched the wooden board, roaring with grief and indignation, "Too bad we don't have a navy, but what a pity we only have hot blood! Even if I had a battleship, I would bring you all with me to fight it out with them!"

"Captain..." Send a signal to all Prussian fishing boats in the ocean that I, Xiao Letian, am requesting their help... Let them lead my brothers to disperse and leave, they will take hamburger with them … I, Xiao Letian, will go and fight with this bunch of Frenchmen, I don't believe that Napoleon III will be able to kill me!

"Prime Minister!" Xiao Hexin even fell from his wheelchair. He used his hands and legs to crawl in front of Xiao Letian, holding onto his thigh and cried out loud, "No way, the adults can't just send themselves to their deaths for no reason. Bring us along to fight them, we will go up and fight them with bayonets and bayonets …"

Countless of brothers shouted, "Let's go all out, let's go all out..." "Ever since we've come to Europe, we've never had the hope to return alive. Today, we can be considered to have reunited with our brothers who left first …"

"Fight!" Fight! "Fight …" The thunderous roar scared the sailors so much that their faces turned white. This group of Chinese people had experienced the bloody battles on the stone bridge, so it wouldn't be exaggerating to say that they were all hellfire gods.

"Enough …" Xiao Letian suddenly roared out, "If any of you push me any further, I'll jump from here to the sea, and I'll die in front of you all …"

Xiao Letian supported Xiao Hexin who was on the deck, and said sorrowfully, "You guys have misjudged me, do you really think that I, Xiao Letian, am a reckless man? A hoodlum who only knew how to shout hot-blooded slogans with all his might? "Wrong, extremely wrong …"

"Every miracle we've created on the way here, wasn't that deduced by me, Xiao Letian, after I spent a long time calculating my hair's worth? "To tell you the truth, I have a seventy percent chance of winning even the bloodbath on the stone bridge. That's why I'm willing to risk your lives …"

"But today, I don't see even the slightest chance of victory …" "Xiao Letian pointed at the battleships in the ocean." I know this kind of battleship, this is called a heavy cruising ocean, a double deck shooting. A single battleship has around 60 to 70 huge cannons.

Xiao Letian looked at his brothers gently: If there's no chance of victory, why should we fight? Why would I, Xiao Letian, lead you onto this road of no return? Am I to be selfish? Do you really think that I, Xiao Letian, am going to be something like that? "

"What I'm after is just to make our nation and country stronger. I don't want us to be bullied again. If I just want to be a rich man, why would I wear …" Xiao Letian was unable to say the word that came out of his mouth.

"You are all the elites that I brought out by hand, you are the elites of this nation, the elites of this country! If one more of you comes out alive, then our country will have one more person who can open his eyes and see the world! That's what I want... "Be good and listen to me. Get on the fishing boat and head back to the hamburger. If your target is too small, the enemy won't be able to hit you …"

Xiao Letian's tears flowed down in a moment. Today, he cried more than he had in his previous life.

"Where's the captain?" Why are you still staring foolishly? I beg of you, hurry up and send a signal to the ships on the sea … Let them come and save them! "

"My lord!" With a loud boom, all the brothers on the deck fell to their knees, their heads touching the ground as blood splashed out.
