I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Even today, Ming's whaling ships are still active among the krill colonies in the South Pacific.

But there is no doubt that Ming's accelerated technological development has greatly contributed to whales and other marine mammals.

It's a pity that Morishita at this time doesn't think there is anything cute about these North Atlantic humpback whales.

He even thinks that the whaling quota policy of the Tobu Fisheries Division is superfluous.

This troublesome creature deserves to be killed and eaten.

Because a group of lifeless humpback whales are constantly hitting his new high-speed frigate "Erkon".

Morishita doesn't know exactly which god Erkang is, but it can be called the three high-speed fast ships of the navy together with the Zhao Guangyi class and the Li Jinglong class. This "Erkang" must also have some advantages.

Even the cruising mileage of the Erkang-class high-speed frigate is the highest among the three types of fast ships.

The Erkon-class frigate was originally designed to conduct unrestricted naval warfare against British and French merchant ships.

The original plan of the Naval Headquarters was to realize the development of practical submarines.

But obviously, things like submarines are still too dreamy for today's Ming Dynasty. After several rounds of failures, the navy can only retreat to find a surface ship that can excel at speed.

The Erkang-class light frigate has a total weight of about 800 tons, a cruising speed of 16 knots, and a maximum speed of 22 knots.

Although its limited firepower cannot penetrate the armor of the former dreadnoughts of the British, it is definitely a nightmare for all merchant ships in this era.

Morishita personally commanded this small boat today, of course not to attack merchant ships.

Nor is it wrestling with a pod of humpback whales.

According to the discovery of the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft of the "Yunnan" aircraft carrier and the intelligence of the white hounds in the early stage, the Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Dynasty finally found the flaws exposed by the British in the North Atlantic.

Compared with the army's overwhelming crushing of the British, the contest between the Ming Navy and the British Royal Navy has to be said to be more difficult.

As a traditional sea power country, the quality of the British Navy is very good, and they have strong imitation capabilities.

If building tanks, British engineers may not be able to produce qualified diesel engines and tractor chassis.

But to produce warships, the British can imitate some Ming warships only by sacrificing some load and increasing the boiler volume.

At present, the British warships have already achieved high freeboards, and they are only a step away from the former dreadnoughts.

If it weren't for the fact that Ming's own warship manufacturing was relatively hip and still using the original artillery layout, the British might have to copy their homework and directly produce a dual-mounted rifled main gun.

It's a pity that they still misplaced their skills after all.

For a long time, the British and French believed that the Ming Yuan was anchored by aluminum.

In order to attack Daming's national capital, they increased investment in the research and development of aluminum electrolysis technology.

And because Daming proved that the industrial production of aluminum is feasible, it further stimulated the enthusiasm of European commercial capital.

This has led to, in this time and space, the aluminum products industry in Europe is seriously precocious.

So much so that the military department saw the feasibility of using aluminum for weapons production.

As early as five years ago, one of the reasons why the British government implemented a proactive fiscal policy was to carry out the ambitious "Manchester Plan".

To put it bluntly, this plan is the research and development project of aluminum weapons.

The R-1 airship that performed airborne barbecued pork in Constantinople before was the product of this project.

But few people know that the real killer of the British Admiralty is the "Anglo" class high-speed battleship.

A total of three "Anglo" class battleships were built, namely "Anglo", "Jut" and "Saxon".

As a barbarian without its own historical documents, the history of the Anglo-Saxons 1000 years ago is based on side descriptions and myths.

But what is certain is that their main sources were the Angles and Jutes from Jutland, and the Saxons from Lower Saxony.

For any nation, the existence of "we" is because of the existence of "you".

The Ming Dynasty relied on the Western bandits as "you" and gathered "we" including the Huaxia, North Korea, Wa, Yue, Yin and other Xia nations.

Of course, the British are also using Ming as "you" to condense their "we".

It's a pity that the intolerant Anglo-Saxons have no way to expand the concept of "us", even Ireland and Scotland, which are close at hand, let alone others.

Theoretically, Zhuxia-Indo-European, Huaxia-Germanic tribes, Han nationality-Anza, these are the more appropriate correspondences.

But Daming has built a community of destiny for the Xias, and the British have been wandering around in Ansa's Nest for a long time.

Under the repeated advocacy of people of insight represented by blackening Darwin, the British government reluctantly recognized the British refugees in thirteen North American states, Australia, South Africa and other places as its own citizens.

Therefore, in order to strengthen their prestige, their new warship used the three ancestors of Anza as the name. In fact, if you look closely, it looks like a group of fellow villagers, who can't leave the province in China.

Although the name is a bit petty, the Anglo-class aluminum armored ship that uses a lot of aluminum to reduce its weight does have excellent performance.

Their design displacement is 9800~10050 tons, and the full load displacement is about 10500 tons.

主尺度水线长115.8米，全长125米，舰宽22.9米；平均吃水8.4米，最大吃水8.84-9.1米。

Each ship has a crew of about 700 people, and the largest flagship Anglo has 720 people.

At the same time, they also have a powerful power of 8500 horsepower, a cruising speed of 13 knots, and a maximum speed of more than 17 knots.

This speed far exceeds the 14 knots of the Shenzhou, which can be said to be second to none among the [-]-ton battleships.

The British believe that such a secret weapon will definitely allow the Royal Navy to regain control of the North Atlantic Ocean.

And today, it is the day when these three ships have been honed for five full years, costing countless manpower and material resources of the British government, and even made the first voyage of the Guardian God Ship, which had to be deeply involved in the minting scandal.

At Portsmouth Naval Port, although Queen Victoria was not present, Crown Prince Edward, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer Alligator and other important officials were present.

Chapter 847 Triple Hit

Portsmouth Naval Port is full of people and lively.

The waiter has already set up the carpet and the long table, and there are fine wines and delicacies on the long table.

It's been too long since the nobles have had a decent gathering amidst the oppressive war.

But this is not the time to enjoy food and flirt with each other.

The Royal Military Band is playing the resounding "May God Bless the Queen", and the Union Jack flag of the empire is rising into the sky, fluttering between the sea and the sky.

Crown Prince of the British Empire, Prince of Wales, one of the only two remaining princes of His Majesty Victoria, Prince Edward ascended the platform.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally pulled out a lengthy speech from his pocket, and began to torment the absent-minded audience.

It is well known that Her Majesty is not fond of the eldest son.

Prince Edward is not only obese, clumsy, obsessed with women, low in morals, but also has a problematic IQ.

Compared with Prince Alfred, who is brave and diligent, but has turned into frozen barbecued pork, and Prince Arthur, who looks like his dead husband but has been controlled by the Ming people, in the Queen's eyes, Prince Edward is a mistake more than 30 years ago.

In fact, the reason for Victoria's refusal to attend such an important warship maiden voyage is certainly not the so-called "Queen's health reason" in the official statement.

It's because she doesn't want to see her son who is stupid, stupid, and always causing trouble.

Some time ago, Prince Edward fell in love with Miss Agnes, a 46-year-old spinster, and had a burning feeling for her.

According to Prince Edward himself, "When I climbed into her bed, every nerve of mine was filled with excitement."

If this habit is done, it will be done. If it is made public, it will certainly damage the dignity of the royal family.

This made Victoria very angry and prepared to punish her son for failing.

Who knew that she hadn't figured out how to punish the bad son, and Sir Charles of London filed a divorce suit in the court again.

He testified in court that his wife, Lady Harriet Morden, had had affairs with several men, including Crown Prince Edward.

Sir Charles was a man of great energy and a wide circle of friends.

The worst thing was that Harriet Mordang didn't know what medicine she had taken wrongly, but she actually realized her conscience and confessed her mistakes to the court.

In this day and age, breaking someone's marriage is a crime. Although few people are serious about it, Sir Charlie is a serious person.

This forced Victoria to secretly arrange for the court to declare Harriet Mordang insane and send her to a mental hospital.

I thought that this rebellion would calm down for a while, but Victoria didn't expect to be hit by a third round of critical blows.

Lord Eli Foster's wife files for divorce from her husband and claims she is running off with the Marquess of Brantford.

Lord Eli Foster is the entourage of Prince Edward, that is, the horse boy.

Ma Zai was cuckolded, so he naturally wanted to ask the boss to come forward.

So Lord Eli Foster asked Crown Prince Edward to come forward and uphold justice for himself.

But Crown Prince Edward said that the king does not understand what is fair.

But X said, this king is very good at it.

He told the younger brother very confidently, your wife is very good, but I can't help you.

Because the relationship between me and your wife is deeper than that with you.

Lord Eli Foster almost fainted when he heard the words.

In the end, it was Victoria who came forward to settle the troublesome Lord Eli Foster and maintain the dignity of the royal family.

After several times, Victoria was so tired of her son that she didn't want to be within a mile of him at all.

It can be said that Queen Victoria would have been very pleased if those 30 minutes with her husband more than 3 years ago had been spent cooking a piece of char siew.

However, the reality is that Edward is indeed the Crown Prince of the Empire.

Once upon a time, it wasn't that Victoria didn't have the idea of ​​abandoning her elders and leaving her younger, but the succession to the throne was not something she could decide on her own.

And now, there are not many princes left for Victoria.

In addition to this useless Prince Edward, the other youngest son, Prince Leopold, is a severe hemophiliac, and it is impossible for him to get involved in the throne.

Under such circumstances, Victoria also had to allow Prince Edward to participate more in government affairs and enhance his political prestige. This speech is also one of the arrangements.

It's just a pity that Edward didn't do well.

Although he is only 36 years old, his speech level is still lower than that of the 80-year-old American Rare.

And it's not just a stuttering, but a defect in ability.

Edward struggled to finish reading the speech prepared by the Privy Council, and there was sparse applause from the audience.

Waking up from his drowsiness by the applause, Ah Lihui clapped his palms twice after a short period of confusion.

In a daze, Ah Lihui felt that the scene before him seemed familiar.

The same festoons, the same crowd of guests, the same warm atmosphere.

He has experienced three noble banquets like this.

The first time was to attend Empress Dowager Cixi's birthday banquet in the ancient capital of the Qing Empire.

The second time was in Constantinople, which the Russian Empire had just acquired, to attend the coronation of Alexander II.

The third time was in the outskirts of Kolkata, India, to attend the Queen's Coronation Commemoration Ceremony hosted by the Governor General of India.

And now, in Portsmouth, in the British Empire, he is dressing for the fourth time at the highest-profile ceremony.

Although the four grand events and the four civilizations have different styles, Ali Hui is very clear that they will all have one thing in common...

"His Excellency, the Minister of Finance, what do you think of the king's speech? Did it inspire the Royal Navy's high fighting spirit?"

Seeing Prince Edward who had just stepped off the stage and couldn't wait to ask questions, Ali nodded: "Your Highness, your level of speech is much better than that of your late brother-in-law!"

The "brother-in-law" in Ah Li's mouth refers to the husband of Edward's eldest sister, who is the former Crown Prince Frederick III of the German Empire.

For a long time, this brother-in-law was the shadow of Prince Edward, the so-called "other people's child".

But what good is it to be good?

Didn't Frederick ride a convertible and be elated on the spot?

Said that he had surpassed Frederick, and Prince Edward was very happy to hear that the latest political star thought highly of him.

Edward thought that his mother was already 57 years old and would be 60 in a blink of an eye.

Since ancient times, how many monarchs can live to be 60 years old?

I am afraid that I have a great chance of ascending the throne before the age of 40.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, I should win over some confidants and prepare for the enthronement.

The impact of the stock market crash seven years ago has not yet passed, and Edward is deeply in debt crisis.

So he still felt that it would be better to attract talents through emotion.
