Lushun Port.
As the mother port of the Northern Fleet of the Feng Navy, Lushun Military Port was located at the southwest end of the Liaodong Peninsula, on the north bank of the Yellow Sea. The port door opened to the southeast. To the east was the majestic Golden Mountain, to the west was the Tiger Tail Peninsula, and to the southwest was the towering Old Iron Mountain. It was surrounded by Lushun Port, and its natural beauty was known as the wonder of the world.
Early in the morning, Lushun Port was already crowded with people. About 500,000 people had gathered at the port to watch the maiden voyage ceremony of the Tianhe-class battleship and to send off the Northern Fleet led by Commander Jiang Yun 'an.
Yesterday afternoon, the Fengjun Daily announced that the Tianhe-class battleship had been completed and put into service. It was like throwing an atomic bomb into the calm water. Not only did it scare the countries around the world, but it also stunned the 45 million soldiers and civilians.
"Big! It's too big!"
"When did the navy start building a supership with a displacement of 95000 tons? Why hadn't he heard anything about it?”
"It must be strictly confidential! The westerners have signed a naval treaty that forbids the construction of large battleships. If our Feng Department is too high-profile, it will definitely attract the interference of the westerners!”
"This is called making a fortune in silence. Using the old marshal's catchphrase, it's to develop wretchedly and then surprise everyone, hahahaha."
"Heavenly level, Old Marshal's character is Heavenly Level. Sigh…this should be the national weapon that Old Marshal left for us before he died!”
"Don't cry. The old marshal will definitely be very happy to see that the Heaven-Class Battleship has been successfully completed and is in service.”
"I'm not crying. I just miss you.”
"Look at the expressions of those Westerners. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter.”
"Ha, we have what the westerners have, and we have what the westerners don't have. They're so jealous!”
"Keep a low profile. Westerners are just so-so. In terms of industrial technology, our Feng faculty is the world's number one!”
"That's definitely the world's number one. Do you know how difficult it is to build a Tianhe class with a full displacement of 95000 tons? Among the western powers, other than Great Britain, the other countries all stood aside!”
"Hahaha, I believe that Ying-chan has the ability to build a warship similar to the Heaven-class. Forget about Great Britain, do you really think Great Britain is still the Empire that the Sun Never Sets on? The sun had already set. They might have the technology, but they definitely did not have the ability to build it!”
"I agree with this point. Great Britain is a paper tiger. It looks very strong, but it's actually just so-so.”
"Wow, the Black Star Guards are here! So handsome!"
"The newspaper said that the Guards are going to visit Jinling with the commander. The 1st Division of the Marine Corps departed from Lushun yesterday afternoon to Fengtian for a change of defense. This is the first time the Guards have left Fengtian since 1913, right?”
"Yes, last time, it was the old marshal who brought the Imperial Guards to patrol the Outer Mongolia!”
……
On the main road outside the port, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of onlookers, the Black Military Guards marched towards the port in neat steps.
The military uniform of the Black Guards was different from that of ordinary soldiers. It was pure black!
The top and coat were button-buttoned, with six buttons in a double row and two pockets. The left arm had a military flag logo, the cuffs had golden decorative strips, and the left shoulder was equipped with a golden belt. The craftsmanship was exquisite and solemn. The epaulets and badges were all gold-plated brass.
Black military uniform, black woolen coat, black long military boots, black brimmed hat, black sheepskin gloves, white shirt, black tie, and all of them were at least 1.80 meters tall. As they lined up, a suffocating sense of oppression assaulted them.
Sometimes, Jiang Yun 'an would secretly sigh. The old man, Jiang Xiong, was really an expert in beauty. He made the military uniform look so handsome and even made Derrick angry.
If you do this, won't you have to design a new military uniform when the art student who failed the exam takes the stage?
He wouldn't directly copy Feng Jun's words, right?
At the dock, Coulson, Winston, and Phillip, who had heard that the Sky-Class Battleship was going to hold its maiden voyage ceremony, had flown to Lushun overnight to watch the ceremony. Their expressions were very ugly, as if they had eaten three pounds of sh * t.
"They are 302.2 meters long and have a displacement of 95000 tons. These two giant ships are a miracle in the history of human industry.”
Coulson muttered to himself. He looked at the two mountain-like super warships anchored on the sea with a complicated expression.
The sky was painted gray, the standard color of naval ships. The black muzzle was aimed at the dock, making people's hair stand on end!
" Despicable gardener," said Winston coldly." With the appearance of these two battleships, the Wasengdun naval treaty will instantly become a piece of waste paper!”
"The Fusang people have probably already made plans to build ships overnight. The arms race is about to begin.”
Philip shrugged and said helplessly,""What else? Since the arrival of the Great Voyage Era, the strength of the navy has determined the fate of the country. Fusang does not want to be destroyed, so they can only build battleships that are stronger than the Heaven-Class.”
Coulson and Winston didn't say anything. They were thinking about how to report to the country.
As a British citizen, and as the minister of sea affairs, Winston Winston was more aware of the importance of sea power than anyone else.
Great Britain was a maritime power. It relied on its naval strength to become the world overlord and establish an empire with more than 30 million square kilometers of colonies!
Fusang was afraid of the navy, but Great Britain was not?
