Chapter 075 The Queen's Ambition

"If you can't drive, you can run more than 3,000 kilometers when the wind direction is good, and even 2,000 kilometers when the wind direction is bad. This time, you can't run more and more. However, your speed is pretty good. You can run seven knots when the wind direction is wrong. Long-distance transportation is the best, and the war is not vague, but the draft is a bit deep. This time it was not just an experiment, it ran twice in the Victory Islands, and there was basically no problem. We were here to give you gifts. We originally wanted to arrive before the Spring Festival, but when we arrived at Midway Island, we had some minor problems. We repaired it for several days, which delayed the time. America, bring our Uncle Luo to see our gifts." Wen Xiaoqi briefly introduced the performance of the ship to Hong Tao, and then pulled Hong Tao to the bow of the boat, and called Luo Youde and Luo Meizhou who were reuniting father and son.

"What are these?" Behind the first mast is an open cargo warehouse. After the hatch cover is opened, many wooden boxes appear below, and the entire warehouse is piled up in size, with hundreds of them.

"It should be a part of the steam engine?" Hong Tao leaned his head and looked inward for a few times, and found a big guy wrapped in hemp rope, and he felt confident.

"Hehe... These are given to you by Uncle Qi. He got out the train you mentioned and laid rails in Swan's country. But it doesn't have my big ship that can hold things, and you can't go wherever you want. Without rails, it's a waste. There are two sets of steam engines in the back cabin, both for ships, smaller than the ones on this ship. That's my gift to you. Take it back and put it in a smaller boat, and then add sails. When you want to go back to find us, you don't have to wait for the season.

Feng, go whenever you want. I'll give you this chart, don't go directly to Midway Island. Hong Yu explored a new route to the north. Following these islands, you can go back to the entrance of our canal. Although the journey is a bit far, we have built supply stations at these points along the way. There is coal and water, so there is no need to worry about no place to replenish supplies." Wen Xiaoqi disdained Qi Zu's gift, but praised his own gift, and took out a chart and handed it to Hong Tao.

"This girl is also unemployed. It seems that I am really old. I used to draw a chart for you, but now it's my daughter's turn to draw a chart for me. I said to America, your father holds a skinny dog ​​every day to raise it. When will you two give your father a real grandson?" Hong Tao looked at the chart, okay, Hong Yu has poked out Hokkaido, Sakhalin Island, Kamchatka Peninsula, and Aleutian Islands. There is a small red dot every 1,000 kilometers above, which is probably a supply station.

In addition to allowing North American steamships to cross the Pacific Ocean, these supply stations are probably the way to prepare for themselves. I was moved. Hong Tao felt that he had not been in vain. If so many people were willing to spend money to figure out the way to find a way to go, he would not have been in vain in his life, and he would not lose anything to end up in trouble.

"Don't worry, your daughter already has it in her belly, otherwise she can't follow her with her temperament! In another half a year, you will be grandfather, and I will be grandfather, hahahaha..." Luo Youdemei, although she hasn't held her grandson or granddaughter yet, she already has hope.

"It doesn't matter if you are grandfather. These big guys in the cabin are much better than grandson. These things cannot be unloaded here, and others cannot let others know what they are. Now the Song Dynasty is full of people from the Imperial Supervision Department, so let's go to Tangshan Port first. Xiaoqi, hurry up and drive the ship. It's not safe to encounter the Royal Navy's patrol ship. Although they dare not get on the ship to check, it's a big trouble to see your ship. Go quickly, you can't take a fixed route. I'll be a navigator for you. If you have anything to say, you can talk while walking." Hong Tao is just that with the children, one more is not much, one less is not much, and one less is not enough. But he cares very much about the steam engine. This thing cannot be known to the Jinhe Empire for the time being. Although the Song Dynasty and the Jinhe Empire will definitely merge in the future, they can't negotiate empty-handedly, and there must be a little hard guy in their hands. These big machines are the trump cards in their own hands and the capital for negotiations, and must be kept confidential.

Spring Soyuz quickly left the waters of the Sisi Islands, avoided commercial routes, first headed towards the Korean Peninsula, then turned north, and drilled into the Bohai Bay along the side of the Korean Peninsula.

Hong Tao hardly showed up on the way, and even the meal was taken by Ariana to Jiang Zhuyi's cabin. Everyone got used to his style of valorizing sex over friends. As for him and Jiang Zhuyi, what did Ariana hide in the cabin? This was not a lice on the bald head, it was obvious.

Jiang Zhuyi really couldn't make it in Europe and had to come to Hong Tao. Since Aya gave birth to a baby boy, Aya's husband's family was suddenly robbed by a group of gangs. The family of more than 20 people were spared, and even the castle was burned to flat ground. Only Aya and her children escaped the disaster by chance because they went to Naples University for vaccination. So Aya's son became the only heir in the family. Then Jiang Zhuyi became the actual controller of this territory, and then her country was formed, bigger than Switzerland in later generations.

As for who did this tragedy at Aya's husband's family, the murderer had never caught it. Jiang Zhuyi even offered a huge bonus to reward these murderers. Unfortunately, these people were like the evaporated in the world, coming without a trace, coming quietly, and leaving gently, leaving no clouds.

"Is it the one Swan found for you? He not only had Indian soldiers, but also many slaves captured from Europe. It is estimated that those slaves have become soldiers under his command over the years. I found dozens of European-looking people to sneak in from Genoa Port under your cover, kill the people and return from the same route. As long as he got on the boat, no one could find it." After listening to Jiang Zhuyi's story, Hong Tao could not think hard, and he could roughly guess who was directing the tragedy, who was the main actor, and who was the supporting role.

"Oh, don't be so clear about it. People are a little embarrassed when this happens. But you guessed it wrong. Swan and I were speechless. These people were found by Weng Ya for me. She was snatching people with Swan to form a separate Marine Corps. Do you think Swan had snatched her?" Jiang Zhuyi was not exposed at all, and she smiled innocently. In fact, this is not a secret. When Aya married into the baron family, Hong Tao guessed what she was going to do, but she didn't expect that she would do so viciously.

"It's right! He should meet a tigress like Weng Ya, and there is a bad and merciful man who comes up with bad ideas behind him. This silly boy was fooled by his good friend, and that couple is not a good thing!" When Hong Tao heard Swan's defeat, he couldn't help but applaud, and at the same time he didn't forget to squeeze the compassionate couple. None of these materials can be worry-free, and there was a headache for McInnie.

The war on the Iberian Peninsula continued. Although the European Union withstood the attack of the Berbers and stabilized the front line south of the Pyrenees, it was not so easy to drive these fanatical religious believers back. The last time the two sides fought, the weapon in the hand of the Berbers could penetrate the knight's armor. This time it changed, and it turned into an iron ball that could explode if thrown out. With this weapon, the Berbers always took the initiative in the local battlefield, but because of the terrain and climate in the Pyrenees area, they did not continue to advance north.

Carl and William performed extremely well in this war. They joined forces to save a large area along the eastern coast of the Aragon Kingdom and pushed back the Berber attack. This is also the only European territory on the Iberian Peninsula. If there is no place to restrain the Berbers' energy from the side, the Pyrenees Mountains might not have stopped them from heading north.
