C471 Last chance to escape

Of course, the greater part of the pressure came from the warships in the sea, especially the battleship Glory that was on the third level of the shooting deck. This was the strongest weapon that could be created by the human race in the 19th century.

The name of the strategic weapon sounded impressive. Although no one knew why Xiao Letian had invented so many new terms, this did not affect everyone's understanding.

Battleships and cruisers were the ultimate weapons of the sail age, and they were the perfect strategic weapons. Even if a fleet didn't fight, as long as it was placed in a certain region of the sea, it would bring tremendous pressure to geopolitics, just like the American aircraft carrier Battle Corps after the Second World War.

blockade of waterways, bombing of inshore ports, landing of beaches... Countless battle strategies were available, but his enemies could only tremble under the threat of gunfire.

Shang Tai was the same today, his eyes were focused on the gigantic figure of the battleship, his mind thinking about the knowledge that Xiao Letian had taught him before. Today, he could be considered to have gone through a big lesson that combined theory and practice together, just that the feeling was a little cruel.

At this time, Gong Cheng also ran up to the stage. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, "Your Majesty, we are, after all, a nation of etiquette, and since guests have made such a request, it is not unreasonable.

At this time, had no other choice. He only hoped that after this ceremony was over, he would send these Western Fury Gods away quickly. As for everything else, he couldn't care less.

"Alright, let's start with the military parade and then sign our names …" "I'll leave everything to you, envoy …" The young king's voice was filled with helplessness.

On the high stand, there were many red wooden chairs, the Expeditionary forces's cameraman had already set up a tripod in the corner, the camera repeatedly pressing the shutter, recording every single classical moment.

The Ambassador of France sat on the left hand side of Shang Tai, the proud Knight had a bit of a gentleman's demeanor, even nodding to the palace maid who was serving tea to thank him.

Shang Tai's face did not look good, his expression was stiff and his body looked unnatural. You, the Ryukyu's imperial guards, won't allow it? Who told you the camera is a dementor? How did Xiao Letian educate them?

Eh? Jin Changsen and Cai Mao had a verbal conflict? This was a historical event, and it had to be recorded...

The French cameraman was sensitive enough to take pictures of every spot in the venue. He knew that this was a moment when history was being recorded. Any unremarkable place could become a precious archive that would happen a hundred years from now.

Jin Changsen and Cai Mao were really arguing, in a corner at the back of the viewing platform, a man and a woman, two powerful Ryukyu officials, were arguing with each other in a low voice.

"Jin Changsen! Do you not trust His Majesty's imperial guards? Who gave you the right to temporarily transfer your defenses? Are you going to rebel? "

"Cai Mao! Don't carelessly give me a hat, how can I not believe in His Majesty's imperial guards? What I don't believe in is those imperial guards who were brainwashed by the new army! Don't forget about the assassination just now, how can you guarantee that no other lunatics will appear? "

The veins on Cai Mao's forehead throbbed, "You, you, you … You don't believe me? "Do you think I would betray His Majesty?"

"I have never said it before, but since the civil officials did not believe you, I'm afraid His Majesty is suspicious of you as well …" Taro Shimadzu! "Immediately take over the security around the viewing platforms …"

Jin Changsen really did not have time to argue, he just waved and Taro Shimadzu rushed forward.

Today, Taro Shimadzu wasn't wearing the New Army uniform. He reverted back to the traditional appearance of the Japanese samurai, with his crackling armor, and the Katana s on his waist intersected and stuck on his waist. The only disharmony was that Taro Shimadzu actually had a Spencer on his back, making him look like a postmodernist who was able to travel through space and time.

Taro Shimadzu had already gathered the most elite warriors under his command. The hundred ancient armoured warriors were fighting with the Ryukyu's imperial guards, and they had forced their way out of the army.

"Ha …" "Lord Jin, please give the order!" Taro Shimadzu bowed ninety degrees, his attitude extremely humble.

At that moment, Jin Changsen suddenly thought back to the colonial era in Japan. When had the Japanese samurai ever been so humble? They had never seen the Japanese samurai before, especially when the blood warriors from the Shimadzu Family bowed to the Ryukyu officials.

At that moment, Jin Changsen felt as if he had drank ice and snow, and his entire body felt refreshed. Look at how even Huashan Liyuan and Zhu Zhongjingshang, the two servants, didn't greet him with respect back then, and today, the blood warriors of the Shimadzu Family are all extremely respectful to me. This is the magic power of authority!

Jin Changsen might have already forgotten who this dignity came from.

"Cai Mao, General Cai! Your Majesty is on the stage. Do you really think that I don't agree to be your majesty? Do you really think the French would be so sure of having the imperial guards surround the envoy? Wake up, Gong Cheng had already reached an agreement with us last night, the guards at the sides of the viewing platform must be handed over to the warriors of the Shimadzu Family! "

Cai Mao stuttered in anger, "You … You, you, you … Are you crazy? It's only been two years and you have already forgotten the enmity between Shimadzu Family and us? "You would rather believe in the Japanese than your own people …"

"Enough! I realized that all you, Cai Mao, have in your head is a rock, why are you so stubborn! "In order to rule a country, it is necessary to change. The situation between enemies and each other is also changing at any time. The enemies of the past might now be able to become friends …"

"Have you forgotten all about yesterday? A group of Japanese wild warrior s, their brains washed clean by the New Army for a year, even dared to rush forward to assassinate their envoy. Ling Mutai and Xue Ying were captured, but the imperial guards did not even punch them … "

"Who do you want us to trust? You said that you wanted His Majesty to trust any of you! " Jin Changsen's scolding caused Cai Mao to be dumbstruck and speechless. At this point in time, Shang Tai did not even turn his head back, as he knew that he had definitely heard the entire debate from the very beginning to the very end.

Your Majesty! What's the matter with you? You want to abandon the new army? You want to abandon Prime Minister? Cai Mao's heart ached for his and he was bleeding, but life was difficult!

Jin Changsen laughed sinisterly: "Alright, stop fantasizing, let the brothers pass, the military parade is about to begin."

Taro Shimadzu put down his pockets, and the sinister Phantom Bag appeared in front of everyone. With a wave of his hand, a hundred warriors charged straight into the formation, scattering everything around them.

Gong Cheng who was seated on the stage did not even turn his head, listening to the arguments and laughter behind him, his mouth was crooked.

In the end, Taro Shimadzu and his hundred over warriors successfully took over the defense around the viewing platform, while the imperial guards who were at the first line of defense were chased away to the second line of defense, which meant that they were getting further and further away from King Shang Tai.

At this moment, the onlookers suddenly booed orderly. It turned out that at this moment, the 300 soldiers of the French army had already lined up in their original positions. They were already prepared to partake in the parade.

"One two one …" One two one … Walk together … "

This time the parade was really luxurious, to actually have Major General Bruce walking at the front, the photographer quickly pressed the shutter button, he knew that this was the Major General flattering His Excellency the Special Envoy, how would he dare slow down.

The world's strongest army indeed had its own pride. Although their formation was not neat, the determination and killing intent in their eyes could not be deceived.

"Veterans, these are all veterans! "The person who rolled out from the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, and the way he looks at people, is even aiming at their vital points. I'm guessing that all he's thinking about in his head is how he died in one move …"

"Child, look carefully, these are the people who attacked our Ryukyu. They are still showing off their might right now. Hmm, you will remember this grudge for the rest of your lives …"

"Executioner!" Get lost... "Shh …"

The crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion. In the end, only a single sentence could be heard as everyone shouted, "Executioner!" Get lost... The executioner! "Get lost …"

The hand holding onto the command blade was sweating, while cursing in his heart, "Damned yellow monkeys, in another hundred meters, we'll show you what regret is!"

Molière, who was sitting on the stage, was also a little nervous. He unconsciously twisted his back, and as if trying to resolve the awkwardness, he suddenly spoke to the emperor beside him. "Your Majesty, this group of veterans all participated in Crimean War before. They bravely defeated the arrogant Russian soldier, and they were all victorious in every battle in the French colonies on earth!"

"The British navy is the strongest in the world, and our French army is the strongest in the century. If the Ryukyu wants to enter the ranks of civilized nations, she shouldn't learn how to become a decaying and lonely Qing Dynasty, and shouldn't listen to the bewitchment of a few Asian liars … If Your Majesty is willing, we French instructor can definitely train a strong army for you! "

Shang Tai looked at the red square formation and saw the cold light on Lin Ruo Dao's blade. Suddenly, his heart palpitated as a mysterious chill came over, the feeling of danger and conspiracy was like a ghost fighting against each other.

almost subconsciously wanted to leave, but at this moment, Jin Changsen suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted his premonition.

"Oh? Is the Government of France interested in helping the Ryukyu train her army? I wonder if you can sell us some battleships? " Jin Changsen had not settled down yet when she opened her mouth to speak.

At the same time, Cai Mao also sat down. General Cai looked at him as if he was an idiot. Are you dreaming? Don't forget what the Prime Minister said. Battleships and cruisers are the best weapons in the country.

Without waiting for Jin Changsen to speak, the special envoy shouted, "Sell it! Why not? Battleships and cruisers, we always have models that can be sold in France. Since you guys can afford it, why don't we sell them? "

Cai Mao was speechless, he did not expect Molière to reply in such a manner, and this unexpected argument had successfully interfered with Shang Tai's plans, causing him to lose his last chance to escape.
