Comprehensive comic: Building a super-dimensional empire from scratch

Tokyo Bay, offshore.

When two armored aircraft carriers, a battleship, and two cruisers towering like mountains appeared on the other side of the sea level, the whole country was shocked.

Their size is dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the ironclads and armored cruisers in the port. Their red and gold eagle flags flutter in the wind, making them particularly eye-catching.

At that time, the earth did not even have the technology of battleships, and aircraft carriers were like alien technology.

The area near the port was densely packed with people who came to watch the excitement, as well as the coast guard responsible for maintaining order.

People were weighing their feet and observing the unfamiliar fleet.

Gorgeous, huge, and at the same time carrying a strong sense of oppression.

Different from the all-black armored ships and crudely made wooden warships in the United Fleet, the blue ship's hull is quite beautiful in appearance.

While retaining the original appearance of the World War II warship, various modernizations have been carried out.

Richelieu's pure white hull inlaid with golden patterns, twin conning towers, and clean deck without a trace of dust, looks like an exquisite work of art.

The two armored aircraft carriers, Dafeng and Kewei, look much tougher in appearance. The carrier-based aircraft parked on the deck are also models that people have never seen before.

"Well, their navy is very retro."

Belfast looked at the torpedo boats and ironclads in the harbor and commented.

"Reminds me of a certain pirate in the Royal Fleet who is not very serious in style. Oh, quite a few of her companions are not even willing to admit that she is from the Royal Fleet."

"Are you talking about that sailing battleship?……"

Lu Chen was happy.

The sail battleships of the Magic Line can compete with steamships, but the navy in this world obviously does not have the ability to cross technological challenges.

Buzz - after the fleet slowly docked.

He stood on Richelieu's deck, scanning the people who came to greet him.

Perhaps because the economy of the island country in this era was not very developed, most people were very short and looked like they were malnourished and emaciated.

Even the commander of the Coast Guard received more hits on the head than Lu Chen and could only look up at him.

Fear, confusion, worry, shock... the expressions of the onlookers were very complicated.

Older people can't help but think of almost the same thing happening in different places about 50 years ago.

Matthew Perry, commander of the White Eagle East India Fleet, led four warships to the mouth of Edo Bay and used force to coerce the then-ruling shogunate into establishing the country.

The black armored warships in the fleet were the first time the islanders had seen them at that time, which made them feel the huge gap with foreign countries.

Finally signed the first unequal treaty with the Western powers——《The Treaty of Goodwill between Japan and the United States ended the isolation of the country, and the rule of the shogunate also collapsed.

Known as the"Black Ship Incident" in history.

This moment is just like that moment. but.

Lu Chen's fleet shocked everyone even more. Aircraft carriers were completely unimaginable creations by people of this era.

They could only pray silently in their hearts that the other party would not have too much malice.

"……"

"Commander, I feel like we are like a great power."

Awesome complaint

"really."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Why didn't I think that being a great power would be so satisfying? ?"

"From now on, we will become an interstellar power and force the natives of other worlds to sign unequal treaties."

……

After landing, they were escorted by the guards.

Lu Chen, Ship Niang and the others walked forward and came to a Japanese-style palace.

It looks like a fortress, with trenches dug around it and surrounded by walls several meters high.

This is the Nijo Imperial Palace, the highest governing body of the island country.

It is also the residence of the shogun and a symbol of power for the entire country.

Passing through the twists and turns of the corridor, in the main hall, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow-dyed royal robe and a crown sat on the stage, next to him was an older man wearing a black kimono.

The others kowtowed a few times and stepped back respectfully.

"Is that the shogun and the emperor?"

Lu Chen glanced at it, but was too lazy to salute and had no intention of saying hello.

Dafeng next to him muttered in a low voice,"What kind of pomp are the natives pretending to be here?……"

"May I ask you are……"

The two people sitting at the table looked at Lu Chen and the ship girl behind him.

They were uniformly dressed in black and red military uniforms. Judging from the exact same logo, they must have come from a certain country or organization.

Judging from the fleet at the port, the opponent's strength should be quite strong.

"We are the Star Sea Alliance expedition team. We have informed you not long ago."

"From another world, come to discuss cooperation with you."

As soon as Lu Chen snapped his fingers, Richelieu took out a document.

It was drawn up by several people during the trip.

Bang!

Lu Chen stepped forward and pressed the document on the table in front of them.

"On behalf of the Star Sea Alliance, I ask you to surrender and become a tributary country under the alliance from now on."

"All agricultural, industrial, trade and other production activities across the country will be taken over and arranged uniformly by us, and we will need to contribute a corresponding proportion of resources every year"

"Disband all military forces except essential security forces"

"and here are some additional terms……"

The two looked up in horror at the young man in military uniform, and were extremely shocked for a moment.

Although he is not old, he has a strong aura.

The shogun flicked through the two pages of documents.

It stipulates in detail the various materials that need to be paid as tribute every year, including ores, wood, textiles, agricultural products, etc. The tribute ratio ranges from one-fifth to one-half.

The commissions for agricultural products are smaller, and the commissions for metals, coal, etc. are higher.

It can be seen that the other party has a good understanding of the productivity and social structure of this world. The resources taken away will not make them starve to death or make them unable to survive, but it will cause the place to lose the ability to accumulate capital and further develop.

"If you want to cooperate with us, this kind of treaty is a little too much.……"

The young emperor considered his answer

"This is a final proposal and no bargaining is allowed."

Lu Chen knocked on the table and said coldly

"You have three days to think about it"

"After three days, if I don't receive a positive answer, the fleet will attack."

Shua - after finishing speaking, he turned around and left with the ship girls, leaving behind the stunned local officials and two people covered in cold sweat.
