East of Portsmouth, Selsey Point.
This is a promontory, just east of Portsmouth Naval Port, the home of the British Royal Navy. It joins with the Isle of Wight, which is about 20 kilometers away diagonally opposite, to form two gate gods guarding Portsmouth Military Port.
.
Since being in a de facto state of war with the Ming Dynasty, the Royal Navy has begun to expand the forts at Cape Cersey and the Isle of Wight, built reinforced concrete gun emplacements, and erected more than a hundred 9.2-inch, 10-inch, and 11-inch gun emplacements.
inch, 12-inch large-caliber shore gun.
However, these shore guns are not used to defend against the Ming Dynasty navy, but to defend against the French navy - France is always the number one imaginary enemy in the minds of the British! Of course, in many cases, this number one imaginary enemy cannot be mentioned in words
Yes, just think about it in your heart.
Therefore, although the calibers of the cannons on the forts on the Isle of Wight and Cape Cersey are tailor-made for the French Navy's battleships of more than 10,000 tons to 20,000 tons, they are claimed to be able to defeat the 30,000 tons of the Ming Dynasty.
Armor of a large battleship.
What's even more embarrassing is that the Ming Navy's forts, which are used to defend against ship-borne aviation and dominate the world, don't even consider air defense. The number of anti-aircraft guns on the two big forts is not as many as the shore defense heavy artillery, only a few dozen.
But having said that, when the large fleet of the Ming Navy really put up a parade-like formation and sailed to the English Channel outside Selsey Point, the armaments of the Selsey Fort and the Isle of Wight Fort were completely "
"It's enough" because these coastal defense heavy guns and anti-aircraft guns are completely useless. The only useful ones are the 3.7-inch howitzers used to fire 24-gun salutes.
"Boom boom boom"
Amidst the bursts of salutes, rows of battleships, battlecruisers, aircraft carriers, escort carriers, armored cruisers, large cruisers, second-class cruisers, torpedo destroyers, armored destroyers, destroyers, and various other
The ships all passed near the viewing platform of the fort at Cape Cersey.
On the viewing platform, the British Union Jack and the Ming Dynasty flag were fluttering. Queen Victoria I of the United Kingdom was dressed in a grand attire, wearing the King George IV crown, and the Ming Dynasty King Zhu Xiyou, who was wearing a dragon robe and a good wing crown, stood side by side.
On both sides and behind, stood a group of civil and military dignitaries from the British Empire. On the embankment below the viewing platform, there were countless British gentlemen and ladies holding small flags to welcome the large warship arriving from the Queen's mother-in-law's family.
Lin Zexu, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, Zhuge Weijiu, the special envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and Natalie, who was pregnant with Liujia, had also 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 the Two Sicilies, who publicly supported Victoria, looked at the famous scene on the sea with smiles. They also held paper Ming and Ying Liang in their hands.
The country’s small national flag kept waving there.
If you don’t know this, you would think that the Ming and Great Britain families have been good friends for many years! In fact, until now, the Ming Dynasty and the Great Britain have not officially signed a peace treaty, but have only reached a temporary truce agreement.
According to this truce agreement, the state of war between the two parties, that is, the Ming court and the British government of Queen Victoria, was suspended until Queen Victoria and King Lu of the Ming Dynasty got married, and then discussed the signing of a permanent peace treaty.
But everyone knows that as soon as Victoria and Zhu Xiu got married, Daying became "Xiao Ming". How could Da Ming embarrass "Xiao Ming"?
Now the European continent is undergoing drastic changes. When the internal affairs in Britain are settled, perhaps Rakshasa has become the Eastern Roman Empire, Germany has been unified, and Napoleon II of France has also done something to open up new territories.
Big deal!
If there is no strong intervention in European affairs by a relatively powerful Britain, a unification war between the three major European powers of France, Germany, and Rakshasa is probably a high probability event.
"Your Majesty the Queen, our government will soon issue a statement 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 and His Royal Highness King Lu are married, we will still
You and His Highness King Lu will be recognized as the twin saints of the Indian Empire. I wonder when you are going to do something good with King Lu?"
When the last row of Ming Navy ships passed by 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 Xi's marriage. While inquiring, he also looked at her.
Two people. Victoria's round and round face turned red when she heard Lin Zexu's question, and she looked quite shy. Zhu Xi'an seemed a little tired. Could the tiredness on his face be due to the fatigue of the journey?
The blushing Victoria did not directly answer Lin Zexu's question, but looked up at Zhu Xi'an (although Victoria was a German foreigner, she was short and had to raise her head to talk to the tall Zhu Xi'an) and smiled.
Said: "Brother Xiyan, I listen to you, when do you think it is best for us to hold the wedding?"
Hearing Victoria's question, Zhu Xi'an also showed a proud expression on his face - although this little girl Victoria is a little too keen on that thing and is not particularly beautiful, her personality is still very likable, little girl
Niao Yiren doesn't say anything, but also listens to men's words. She always looks at Zhu Xi'an with a bit of admiration in her eyes. This makes Zhu Xi'an look at the highest power since he was a child, but he doesn't even dare to touch him.
The vase prince is 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 Dynasty will recognize him and Victoria as the "Twin Saints" of India, he is already the de facto Emperor of India!
For the elites of the United Kingdom, among the three parties vying for the right to rule the United Kingdom, whoever can ensure that they own India must have the last laugh!
So Zhu Xiu raised his hand and pointed in 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 to defeat the rebels entrenched in London and restore order there. Finally, I will lead the Royal Navy and Army to London."
Next month, I will marry Queen Victoria in London!
Now I declare that all the rebels who lay down their arms will be forgiven, and all the 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 as the Supreme King. I am becoming the Emperor of India.
Later, a wealthy principality will be awarded to him and his descendants from the crown territory of India.
In addition, when the civil war ends, the United Kingdom will carry out comprehensive reforms, and land owned by the royal family and the government will be redistributed to all citizens of the United Kingdom who are landless and willing to cultivate the land. Discriminatory policies against Catholics
will be completely cancelled. From now on, the English, Irish, Scots, and Welsh will all be equal members of British society. Of course, I will convert to the Anglican Church before my wedding to Victoria and become God the Father.
Believer!"
