Chapter 527

The tea is delicious and the night is long.

English tea is famous for being mellow and mellow. Even evening tea will not be too strong. This is very different from Scotland and Ireland, which are good at drinking strong tea. The ethereal tea aroma is intoxicating.

Of course, that's just Lorraine's feeling.

The tea of the three British Islands has its own characteristics. Each kind has huge loyalty and support. As long as the tea ceremony is interlinked, what kind of tea to drink is not the key.

The key is oppression.

Bullying and bullying, constantly convey the attitude from the twigs, and repeatedly let Emmons recognize the reality like a repeater, and let him put aside those unrealistic fantasies.

In other words, let him sober and calm.

Emmons has generally recovered his composure, which is Lorraine's credit and Lorraine's wish.

After all, Lorraine's purpose is not to extort a confession.

If a person's spirit is in an unstable state for a long time, he is easy to say the truth he usually doesn't want to say, but also easier to say the imagination he never had.

In this sensitive and suspicious special period, imagination will destroy everything.

Emmons took a deep breath.

"Is Mr. President going to see the general?"

"Maybe, maybe not. It's not something you should care about."

"Do you think he's in the new world?"

Lorraine shook his head: "I know he is still in the position of deputy chief of staff. Although there are rumors of transfer, the formal appointment has not come down. The contacts of Drake chamber of commerce can't find out where he will go next."

"The transfer order has come down," Emmons said. "To be exact, the general's transfer order has gone through the whole process and will be officially issued in early March. He will return to the new world. One of my tasks this time is to make a front stop for him."

Lorraine swept the edge of the cup and pondered for a moment: "he will return to the new world, that is... Sir Peter Parker's term of office is over?"

"Although it's not the same thing..." Emmons nodded. "General Parker's term of office is over, and his departure time is about May. The Admiralty takes a fancy to his friendship with the general and hopes that some adjustments will be implemented by them to achieve a smooth transition."

"Adjust?"

Emmons shrugged: "the United States has become independent. In order to express our goodwill, Bermuda, the base of the former continental sub fleet, is no longer suitable to continue to play such a major military role. The Royal Navy dock will be downgraded and only a small defense formation will be retained."

"The anchor port of the mainland sub fleet moved from Bermuda to Newfoundland. Geographically, it is too far away from Jamaica, which is no longer conducive to unified command... Although there was not much communication between the new mainland fleet and the mainland sub fleet, this time the Navy officially separated them."

"The Department of the Navy wants to build a new North American fleet, upgrade its level and increase its establishment, suppress the new United States and protect the Canadian coastline under increasing pressure. The new continent fleet with reduced defense areas should be downsized to reduce the pressure of British military spending in the new continent. This is the general idea."

Emmons did not care whether his words would reveal the secrets of the military aircraft, and there was no hesitation and consideration in his words.

"The new North American fleet is based on the second formation of the former continental sub fleet, including the first-class ship HMS nipton, the third-class ships HMS lion and HMS Mars, four patrol ships, six destroyers and more than 20 frigates of various types. The lion will continue to be the flagship of the commander."

"The general will be promoted to blue flag admiral in this transfer and become the first commander of the North American fleet. Communicating with Sir Parker, establishing the governor's office in advance and welcoming the chief in Newfoundland is my first mission to the new continent."

What a... surprise.

I have to say, it was a surprise.

Shaq is about to return to the new world, and he is the only one who will command a super fleet with first-class battleships.

Class I battleship is a super sea animal at the top of the current marine ecological chain. It has a 70 meter body, more than 13 layers of content, 108 to 112 naval guns and a total drainage of more than 3000 tons.

Even if it is as powerful as the Royal Navy of Great Britain, there are only seven warships like this, including HMS Victory, which is known as the symbol of British hegemony and became famous in the battle of Trafalgar in Nelson.

More importantly, class I battleships will never serve for no reason. Most of the time, they are properly housed in dry and advanced naval docks to maintain wood. Like later nuclear bombs, they are regarded as a country's Military Heritage and strategic strength.

In the Royal Navy, there are only two fleets, two in the mainland and one in the Strait, which can take class I ships as the conventional configuration. Because they are responsible for protecting the security of Britain, no matter how much attention they pay, they will not arouse the reverie of other countries.

But apart from these two fleets, does Britain have any other fleet equipped with first-class ships?

period.

The treasure of the new continental fleet is the second-class battleship Prince of Wales. The African fleet guarding Cape Town also takes the second-class ship as the strongest combat power.

Asia... India seems to be equipped with two class II ships, and the Mediterranean fleet, as the second strongest in the British Navy after the mainland, relies on as many as ten class III ships and four class II ships. There is also no class I ship in the establishment.

HMS nipton, as the fourth class I ship in active service of the Royal Navy, what brought her to the new world of Haiyan and Heqing?

Is it true that the situation in Canada is so serious? Or... Is Britain still obsessed with the rich thirteen states of North America?

Will this be the horn of another all-out war?

Lorraine sounded a sharp alarm in her mind. The alarm was blocked and weakened layer by layer. When it was fed back to her face, there was only a trace of curiosity with doubt.

"The noble Baron Tavistock has been promoted again... The admiral, your majesty, the red man, and the Admiralty have given him even the baby first-class ship. Why should he leave himself on the little lion? Do you remember him?"

"No one can guess the general's mind. You know, he doesn't like to analyze himself in front of others." Emmons reluctantly spread his hand.

"He really doesn't like to confide in people who have nothing to do with him, but you are his close friend or his trusted adviser."

"I really don't know. The general didn't tell me anything," said Emmons regretfully. "I guess he might be willing to tell you."

"Do you suggest I meet him?"

"Obviously, you are ready to meet the general. As a loyal servant of the general, I just try my best to provide some interesting topics for this long-awaited reunion."

"Some topics..." Lorraine took a deep look at Emmons. "It seems that you have successfully recovered your intelligence, Mr. colonel."

"Now let's get to the point. Please tell me about your other mission. I mean the important mission related to me that allows you to bypass Kingston and Sir Parker and visit Miami secretly..."
