C2034 night exercise

Zai Chun was not sleepy at all. When he heard the knocking and urging, he sat up on the bed.

"Time?"

Xiao Sixi then looked at his pocket watch in the candlelight: "4: 35 AM".

"So early?" Why is Master looking for me? Could it be that Liu Dadao's identity was exposed? " Zai Chun's heart thumped once, as a baffling sense of fear surfaced in his heart.

"Your Majesty, don't panic …" "Since Liu Dadao was chosen by the empress dowager, there's no need to say anything about his abilities and loyalty. It won't be so easily exposed so easily.

As Da Sixi helped Zai Chun put on his clothes, he spoke in a deep voice, "Take a deep breath, your majesty. Don't worry, Xiao Letian won't dare to do anything to you!"

Of course, Zai Chun knew that Xiao Letian would not do anything to him, whether it was due to the relationship between master and disciple, or the fact that he was the main character in this visit, Xiao Letian would not fall out with him because of a Qing Dynasty spy.

But fear was something that was not controlled by a person. Zai Chun just felt panic, and even his legs started shaking.

Later, when Zai Chun was in power, he recalled that night in the Mediterranean where he was terrified. He realized that the one he feared was not his master, nor was it the conspiracy behind it.

What Zai Chun was afraid of was the first time he discovered that there existed an insurmountable gulf between himself and his master. From the night that Liu Dadao had brought his mother's secret order to meet him, the path of's mind, which was originally set straight by Xiao Letian, once again underwent an irreversible deviation.

The reason for the uneasiness and fear in Zai Chun's heart was because the master-disciple pair had a clear split in their core values. However, the current Zai Chun was still very young, and he did not realize the root of the problem.

After donning his clothes, Zai Chun opened the cabin door. One of Xiao Letian's guards stood outside and respectfully said, "Please go to the front deck, your majesty. The battleship is already close to the Strait of Gibraltar.

"Strait? Master wants me to see the strait in the middle of the night? " Zai Chun was stunned.

However, the soldiers did not know how to answer His Majesty's question. He just silently led the way, and very quickly, Zai Chun saw that the group of people on the deck were gathered, with Xiao Letian leading the high ranking officers on the Zhiyuan Warship.

"Zai Chun, come over here! Look to the north... Over there is British Gibraltar. The British are ready to welcome you in advance and show you a big show... "

"A big show?" Zai Chun looked at the ocean in a daze. It was only now that he realized that the surrounding British warships were much more dazzling than usual. If the brightness of the lights a few nights ago was 100 for these British warships, then today it would be 300.

Almost every single British battleship was desperately sending lighting signal to each other. The specially made signal detonators were opened and closed by metal baffles, and under the control of the signal soldiers, different rhythms of lights switched on and off, forming a series of code messages that only the British could understand.

Without even turning his head, he said softly to Zai Chun who was beside him. "The British are conducting night time combat training, they are showing off to us, they are showing off their powerful navy!"

"It's very scary! The strength of the Royal Navy is not only due to the large number of advanced battleships, the more terrifying thing is that they possess extremely high quality naval officer s and soldiers … "

"It's not chaotic at all. Even though it's late at night, it's not chaotic at all when the battleships are changing their formations …" The whole of Royal Navy was like a huge and precise steam engine, displaying the immense power of the Industrial Revolution without a doubt! "

Zai Chun rubbed his cheeks, which were numb due to insomnia, and ruthlessly scratched his brow. After feeling a wave of aching pain, his eyes immediately lit up.

began a meticulously prepared convoy exercise around the Chinese fleet.

In the middle of the night, the battle array naval gun opened its doors wide, vigilantly looking at the surrounding darkness.

The frigate and cruisers changed positions, and the darkness could unexpectedly carry out the extremely dangerous crossing motion. Amidst the exclamations of countless Chinese soldier, the cruisers were almost about to collide with each other.

It was obvious that the Royal Navy had deployed the best battleships, the best soldiers, and they would not make any mistakes. After a few successful crossings, the entire formation of the British Fleet in the sea turned from a defensive formation to a formation.

Pah pah pah … The Zhiyuan Warship burst into a round of monotonous applause. Only the Chinese students who had studied in Europe could understand how difficult it was to perform in such a way.

Xiao Letian could not help but exclaim, he nodded his head and thought to himself, in an era where there was no radio, for more than thirty large battleships to conduct night drills in such a narrow bay, was not something an ordinary nation could do.

An expert would be able to see the gist of it from just one practice session, but Zai Chun could only see the entrance "Why did you choose Strait of Gibraltar? "Why didn't you do this exercise in the middle of the night?"

Xiang Ying, who was at the side, curled his lips when he heard it, "That was in order to increase the difficulty. Within the narrow straits, the ocean currents are chaotic, and there are many reefs, as well as civilian ships that are constantly heading in different directions … If you were to conduct exercises here, you will be able to display the exceptional skills of the British Navy! "

"Not only that, but there is also an overseas enclave that has been built in Britain for many years... That is the port of Gibraltar in the north! "

"Look …" Your Majesty, look north! British Fleet is currently sending lighting signal northwards to the Gibraltar Stronghold, and there is already a response from them.

There was a shadow of a continent in the darkness, and it was even possible to see light flashing faintly. At first, Zai Chun thought that it was a normal European seaside town.

However, in the next second, the sparse flames in the distance suddenly started to increase in number. At a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, the lights began to spread and become brighter.

Xiao Letian said coldly, "British Port of Gibraltar, this is a sharp knife the British have inserted into the straits. This is also the headquarters of the British Mediterranean Fleet!"

"Now, these British people are going to show us their power, because this is the strongest fortress of the British Empire, and they claim that they will never fall!"

It was a British show today, showing off their muscles to Xiao Letian and Zai Chun. The threat of Scarlet Fruit was extremely strong, because they were about to reach the British mainland, Royal Navy wanted them to know the rules.

In this world, England is the one with the biggest fist, and anyone has to admit that.

"Gibraltar Gibraltar This is the United Fleet... The Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom and the head of the Chinese family were crossing the strait. I am here to report to you! "

"United Fleet... United Fleet... This is the fortress of Gibraltar... Please convey our welcome to His Majesty Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom and the Head of the Hua Clan. The strait is safe, please pass safely for the Emperor and the Chief! "
