Chapter 143: Battle of the Mediterranean 1

Li Ningyu did not immediately veto the duel proposal, but Spain and the ambassadors of various countries in Spain all stood up and raised different objections. It may be because Alfonso XIII is a king, or it may be because his bet seems

It was so big that their bet turned out to be Maria. If Li Ningyu won the duel, as long as he was willing to marry Maria, then Li Ningyu would become the Emperor of Spain in the future.

In fact, there are many famous duels in this world. If you refuse the challenge, it will be considered a shameful act. Celebrities are more likely to be challenged than ordinary people. Pushkin described several duels in his works, such as his own

He was fatally wounded in a duel with a man who was rumored to be his wife's lover. The man was later accused of cheating in the duel, but he still married Pushkin's wife and became a minister and senate of France.

.

The most famous duel in the United States is undoubtedly the famous Federalist Alexander Hamilton who was seriously injured by the then US Vice President Aaron Burr and died the next day. Andrew Jackson, who served as a US Army general and the seventh US President, is also famous for his duel.

, on May 30, 1806, he killed the famous duellist and left himself with a chest wound that would never heal.

The 20-year-old French mathematician Évariste Galois died in a duel the day after he completed Galois' theory.

A fatal duel in Canada took place in 1833, a fatal duel in England took place near Windsor in 1852, etc. However, the duel between Li Ningyu and Alfonso XIII took place with fencing, not pistols, but Li Ningyu fought with Ma

After deliberation, Leah still refused.

But Alfonso XIII refused to give up. At the same time, he was still making bold declarations everywhere that Li Ningyu was afraid of duels and was not considered a man at all. This made him very angry when he heard it. As time went by, he had already

In mid-January of 1898, under the constant provocation of Alfonso XIII, Li Ningyu reluctantly agreed to this duel, with no doubt of victory.

Because fencing is a skill sport, it does not mean that whoever is stronger will be more powerful, but it also requires a certain amount of specialized strength. The specialized strength of fencing lies in the fingers, forearms, legs, and ankle strength of the sword-holding hand, such as hand strength.

It depends on the individual. Flexibly control the tip of the sword to make any striking and defensive movements.

But in order to ensure absolute fairness, Li Ningyu changed the bet to a unilateral bargaining chip. If Li Ningyu loses, he will leave Spain immediately and never set foot in Spain again. If Alfonso XIII loses

, he has to apologize to Li Ningyu and Maria, because his conjectures are all wrong. The relationship between Li Ningyu and Queen Mother Maria is still innocent at least for now.

In the end, Li Ningyu also made two concessions. First: he would tie one of his hands; second: Li Ningyu's attack had a distance limit. After such news was announced, there were countless questions about this duel.

people's attention.

But even under such a disadvantage, Li Ningyu still achieved the final victory. This made Alfonso XIII, who had a strong personality, no longer have any temper. At the same time, after the duel, he was still in front of the audience.

Everyone, this young little king, solemnly came to Li Ningyu and bowed to apologize, and also begged Li Ningyu to accept him as his disciple, because in fact, deep down in his heart, he still worshiped the strong.

After such a duel, Li Ningyu's fame in Spain seemed to have reached an unprecedented height, but behind everything seemed calm, there were still pairs of peeping eyes hidden, but Li Ningyu continued to

Spain stayed in the country, and on the second day of February, the Far East Fleet slowly set off to leave the Spanish harbor.

During Li Ningyu's stay in Spain, the Far East and Spain signed a total of more than ten alliance agreements, some open and some secret, in the economic, industrial, military and scientific fields, and a top-secret agreement was also reached.

But only one person knew about this agreement, and that was Queen Mother Maria.

After getting rid of Cardos, the chairman of the Workers' Socialist Party, Maria has taken control of the domestic political situation, and then replaced her with a large number of her cronies. Her only political opponent now is General Arsenio, but what does Arsenio say?

He was just a royalist, and he did not behave excessively, so Maria and Li Ningyu did not do anything to him, and gave him more titles, so that Arsenio gradually moved away from the Cardos incident.

come out.

The operator of all this was Li Ningyu, but no one would have thought that the Far East Fleet that had left Spain would be in hot water one day later, because on the way back, he was attacked by the Italians

An attack by a ship with a tonnage more than twice theirs was a continuous war without a declaration of war, but it also completely disrupted Li Ningyu's calculations. However, he was born with an innate tendency to refuse to admit defeat and to avenge his enemies.

At this time, the four fleets of the Far East Navy were changed into three main fleets: the Yellow Sea Fleet, the Tianping Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet. This time Li Ningyu visited Spain, he only brought a few large ships that had just been built and launched and the main surface ships of the Somali Navy.

There are only 3 ships, ironclad battleships, five Baichuan-class light cruisers, and more than a dozen frigates and torpedo boats, with a total tonnage of 70,000 tons, and these are only all the major naval surface capabilities of the Far East in Africa.

But what they faced at this time was the Italian Mediterranean Fleet and the Combined Fleet, with 29 large surface ships, 7 main armored battleships, 9 light and heavy cruisers, and 12 other surface ships, with a total tonnage of about 150,000 tons.

, fully more than twice the size of the Far East Fleet.

And it was attacked by a sneak attack at the beginning. This was a naval battle that had to be faced, because the battle had already begun. At this time, the Far East Fleet was facing the full strength of the Italian Navy, and this time their purpose was to completely defeat them.

Li Ningyu and the Far East Fleet were completely wiped out, giving Italy the opportunity to regain control of Somalia.

Italy has three advantages this time. First: playing at home, they are familiar with the situation in the Mediterranean; second: waiting for work and waiting for rabbits, but Far East is definitely not a rabbit, because he is a lion; third: Far East's trip to Spain gives Europe

Countries have brought some doubts, so it is very likely that there will be no reinforcements.

But will Li Ningyu choose to escape the Mediterranean with the Far East Fleet?

No! Absolutely not! Because at this time, he began to issue combat orders, and when faced with enemies that exceeded his own strength, Li Ningyu would always choose to chop down the enemies who dared to attack him.

With the claws of the enemy, he will turn into a murderous general on the battlefield.
