C418 A choice of helplessness

"Well, these Chinese people are very wise, knowing that eggs are not allowed to collide with pebbles... Hahaha, they've landed, they've slowed down … "

The three frigates were in the center of the ship, which was the command flagship of this mission. Captain put down his binoculars and comfortably lit up a cigar.

"Did you see that? This world belongs to the navy. Why is Britain so strong? That's because they have the world's number one navy, why is our France number two in ten thousand years? It's because the damn army stole the most military spending funds! "

Captain was very angry, especially after the Imperial Army lost face in the hands of the Chinese.

Since ancient times, there have been many contradictions between the navy and the army. Even a country as rich as Britain could not simultaneously maintain the world's number one navy and army. In the history of mankind, except for the United States, which achieved first place after the Second World War, no country in history could achieve that.

The British Navy was powerful, but their army was weak. On the contrary, the French army was strong, but their navy could only eat dust behind the British.

In Xiao Letian's memories, the most obvious country to have the most contradictions was Japan during the Second World War. The conflict between the army and navy had even risen to the level of national policy making.

At that time, the spokesman for the Japanese army was Tojo, while the spokesman for the navy was Minerva. Before the second world war, the War Department was inclined to ally itself with Germany and Italy, while the Naval Department was inclined to ally itself with Britain and the United States.

In 1936, the year of Zhaohe 11 was two and a half years old. After the military mutiny, the Japanese royal clan was suppressed. The ruling faction, represented by the Eastern Group Heroes came on stage. It was only then that the second world war entered its full outbreak.

Sometimes, Xiao Letian was also conflicted. If at that time, the pro-Anglo-American navy controlled Japan, would the recent history be rewritten? What about the end of World War II? Every time he thought of this, Xiao Letian would shudder and goosebumps would rise all over his body.

Forget about the story of Japan, there were many contradictions between land and sea in France right now. When Napoleon III regained the glory of the French Army, the high ranking naval officials all felt uncomfortable looking at him. They were all soldiers of the empire, why should they be so biased?

Therefore, when the French Army was slapped on the face by Xiao Letian, the group of high-ranking Navy officials scolded him openly but they laughed at him in their hearts. He deserved it!

"The honor lost by the army will be replaced by us, the navy. We will capture Xiao Letian alive and offer him to His Majesty, the emperor of Paris … I firmly believe that next year the navy budget will absolutely double, hahaha... "

Captain laughed arrogantly, but there were always some ignorant people around him that wanted to ruin the scenery. The decline of our navy was not due to the defeat of the war at Trafalgar. "

Those who did not open their eyes lowered their voices as they spoke. In the end, they simply covered their mouths with their hands and did not speak, while they looked at Ye Zichen as if he was a murderer.

Captain's face was filled with grief and indignation as he said, "Wasn't the core reason for the failure of Trafalgar's was because the navy was too weak? If we had more battleships and more cannons, would we have lost? "

"Yeah, you're a member of the navy, too?" The surrounding officers said in unison.

The blind man was finally ashamed and shut up, but he couldn't help but nag in his heart, "Was our navy weak back then?" Under Napoleon's lead, we can successfully break through the defenses and enter the Mediterranean to explore Egypt. "Besides, the war at Trafalgar is clearly a war between the sea and the sea. We have many people on board, alright …"

Unfortunately, there were some words that could only be said in his heart, and could not be said on the surface.

"Captain... The Portuguese on the opposite side was giving out orders … "But the angle isn't right, I can't see it clearly …" Just as the group of people were full of confidence, the high and mighty lookout hand suddenly shouted.

"I can't see clearly... as if they were sending flags to fishing boats and merchant ships at sea... Wait! and they turned around and they sent us a signal... "

"Speak!" The crowd became restless.

"The other party has requested us to close the cannon, so as to remove our guard …" Ryukyu's Prime Minister Xiao Letian has already agreed to board the ship, but they want to request the treatment of the diplomats! "

"Hahaha …" He admitted defeat? This bunch of Chinese people have confessed in front of our navy... "This is the power of cannons, this is the power they cannot resist …" The captain jumped up in excitement.

"Now, my colleagues, do you know how important the Navy is? No matter how elite the army was, they were still made up of individuals. If the enemy's bullets hit their chest, they would die … "But our navy is different. Every battleship here is the pinnacle of human shipbuilding technology …"

"We have the firepower to destroy a city, we have the defense against artillery shells, and when our sails open, we get unimaginable power... "AHH!" Almost all of the most advanced technologies in human society have congealed together, forming this invincible battleship under our feet … "

Hmm, looks like this Captain has the potential to be a third rate poet.

"Listen to my command, the starship's right rudder... Left side parallel to merchant ship... Close the cannon and wait for our captives to board the ship … " Captain curled his lips.

"This is too much. As long as our three battleships face the enemy from the side, so what if all the cannons are closed?" It only took him a dozen seconds to open them all … At that time, there will be a hundred fully loaded cannons aimed at you. Just fire at once and you will all go to hell … "

They promised Xiao Letian that they would give him the best possible treatment as a diplomat, and this time they only wanted to invite the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu to Paris as a guest.

After Xiao Letian heard the flagman's translation, he spat in the sea, looking at the warship with contempt, "Guest? Fuck, you want to pick me up with three heavy cruisers? "How come I didn't notice that my face was so big …"

Just then, the captain of the Portugal walked over and said carefully, "Prime Minister, there's a reply to the flag just now. Now, there are ten fishing boats charging towards us. Prime Minister, I have already picked out a fishing boat. It is the fastest one, quickly get on the boat with Madam and you … "

"Hmm? What ship am I on? As I said, I must stay here and deal with the French, or none of you will escape their wrath... "Have my wife board the ship, hurry up and leave …"

Xiao Letian coldly looked at the captain, "I am not joking with you, you must remember, only I am able to stabilize these Frenchmen, if I am not here, you all will not be able to live!"

As they spoke, a small fishing boat had already approached them. The Portugal merchant ship's starboard side was facing the French battleship, and this fishing boat was quietly approaching the Left side of the merchant ship. For the time being, they were not discovered by the French.

"What's wrong? What happened to you? What are these Frenchmen trying to do? " The captain of the fishing boat was from the hamburger and truly cared about these guests from China.

The Portugal sailors said with grief, "Don't ask anymore, this group of damned French are really bullying them. They are here to deal with these Chinese guests. Just now, Prime Minister Xiao Letian has already agreed to go to the French battleship and be their hostage." The reason you have come here today is to disperse the rest of the officers and quickly retreat to the hamburger.

With a boom, the fishing boats that came close to them exploded. They scolded this group of French s for being shameless.

"Issuing Flag Words …" Banner language after Banner language … "Let's not leave this place and quickly help the Chinese get out of here …"

One by one, rope ladders were thrown down. The sailors on the fishing boat looked up at the Chinese officer and anxiously shouted, "I can hide ten people on this boat." "Faster, faster, faster..."

"I can hide eight people in this boat. Come to me..." I can hide five people in this boat, I'm safe here … "

Under the urging voices, Xiao Letian suddenly exploded out, "What are you all looking at? You don't treasure the time that I've given you with my life? Bastard … "All of you, scram down here. If you want to return home alive, then go back for me before I finish …"

"Lord …" Didn't we agree to live and die together? If we leave, how can we ever raise our heads in this life … "What face do we have to go back to our homeland and meet our elders …" The crowd exploded into commotion.

Xiao Letian was crying in his heart, "You all … It's fine if you're pissed off, but it's not like I'm bringing you guys out on the same day as Liliang Mountain. Why would you die on the same day of the same month? Do you think I want to die with you? You guys go back and help me kill my enemies one by one, I'm happy about that … All of you, leave! "

Amidst the chaos, a female voice that sounded like an oriole sounded out, "The soldiers' orders are to obey, did you all forget?" "Since sire wants you to retreat, you should retreat first. I'll be enough to accompany you here …"

Of course the one who spoke was Hu Niu, and only she could take Xiao Letian's words. But today was different, Xiao Letian, who was extremely respectful to Hu Niu, had a cold face as well.

"Hu Niu, Ping Er... You guys go too, Dragon Lord will protect Madam and quickly go! "

Dragon Lord became anxious when he heard about it, "Why is there me? "How can I leave …"

"Scram!" "All of you, scram …" Xiao Letian took out his gun from his waist, and pointed it at his chin: "This is my second time forcing you guys, you know my temper, you know I won't joke with you, I really dare to shoot …"

Xiao Letian was a ruthless person which everyone knew. This time, it seemed that he had truly made a decision, if everyone did not leave, he might really be forced to his death.

Hu Niu was so angry that she started crying and jumping up and down: "You're threatening me and you're bullying me, what do I owe you? Why are you letting me go when something happens? I don't want to go, okay... Wuu! They don't kill women, do they? Even if you are placed under house arrest in Paris, someone will have to cook for you and wash your clothes … "

Hu Niu's temper started to rise as she cried. She walked to Xiao Letian and suddenly pulled out a handful of Colt's Left Chakram from her bag and placed it on her chin.

"Stop scaring me …" Even if you die, I'll die too. If you have the guts, just shoot. Even if you open fire, I'll still open fire … "

With a boom, the crowd exploded. The Portugal captain and the sailors all drew a cross on their chest: "What's going on? Why can't we understand anything? "Oh god, the two of them are a match made in heaven …"
