Woo~~

In the early morning of June 21st, the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere, two Han generals blew special horns, and the sound of the horns full of piercing power resounded through the Temple of Heaven (a temporary concrete platform)

Inside the Temple of Heaven, rows of spectators were already standing at their designated positions, and on the outside were onlookers. After hearing the horn, the square fell silent.

Liu Yiming was wearing a red dragon robe and was sitting in the center of the concrete platform with a cushion in front of him.

"The time has come." Chen Jiangtao said softly in the audience.

Seeing the signal, Liu Yiming fell to his knees:

"I, Liu Yiming, knock on the sky, the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers, and the tombs of the emperors of all dynasties. It has been 257 years since the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Manchu Tatars entered the pass and destroyed my clothes. My fortune has declined.

My ancestor, Liu, was a native of Jiangnan. It has been a hundred years since I went to sea to correct my clothes.

After more than ten years of operation, it has a population of 30 million and an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles.

The ministers obeyed the way of Heaven and responded to the people, rectified the rebellion and wiped out the foreign enemies. On the winter solstice of the Xinchou year, I held a sacrifice in Surabaya to announce to the emperor of heaven and earth that the country of Nanhua was established and the great cause of the Yuan Dynasty was established!"

The emperor knows where he came from. As for Nanhua, Zhonghua regards the word "1" as the most respected name. However, after many considerations, Liu Yiming still adopted Nanhua as the name of the country.

peng!

21-gun salute.

After a tedious ceremony, enter the second stage of the ceremony and ascend the throne.

Liu Yiming walked down from the Temple of Heaven and walked straight into Zhangtai Palace from the crowd.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The people on both sides were enthusiastic under the leadership of the atmosphere boosters.

Military music played in bursts, the Boy Scout band and the escort team walked up to Liu Yiming, and they would each other send Liu Yiming into Zhangtai Palace.

Outside, fireworks and firecrackers began to ring through the streets and alleys, and Surabaya entered a New Year-like atmosphere.

The vast majority of people have never witnessed the enthronement ceremony. The reason why they are the vast majority, excluding Cyril, Bi Sheng, Ivanov and others, is that they have witnessed the enthronement of the little emperor.

In terms of scale, solemnity of procedures, and authority of the emperor, Nanhua was not as strong as the Qing Empire, but the nature was completely different.

The emperor of the Qing Empire was the head and administrator of the court, and could only unite some nobles and landowners. The emperor of Nanhua was also the head of state, but the cohesion was completely different.

All industries and classes in Nanhua are united around the Nanhua government with Liu Yiming as the center.

In Zhangtai Palace, Liu Yiming walked slowly towards the dragon throne. Zhangtai Palace was too small and did not have the feeling of grand scale.

After sitting down, Liu Yiming looked at the ministers who were bowing their hands in salute and half-kneeling on the ground, and waved gently.

Secretary Wang dressed in traditional clothes and opened an imperial edict. This is the third part of the ceremony, canonization.

"Respect Liu Wanhua as the Emperor, and follow him as the Queen Mother..."

"Now there is Zhang Shi, a virtuous and virtuous person...who should be the queen..."

"The emperor's eldest son Liu Haoran...is established as the crown prince."

"The eldest daughter Liu Xinran... was granted the title of Princess Changle and the land of Changle." Oahu changed its name to Changle Island.

Then there is a series of titles, giving 1 viscount and 3 barons to Hawaii, 3 viscounts and 6 barons to Arabia.

Those who already had titles were not increased, but were simply given some treasures or something.

………

There is a narrow natural waterway between Java and Madura Island. The narrowest point is only 34 kilometers. It is the most suitable waterway around Surabaya for naval parades.

At this time, more than 100 ships were gathering in the northern part of the waterway and on standby.

Among them are one French Admiral Chanel-class armored cruiser and two French protected cruisers.

A British Centurion-class battleship.

Germany has one Bismarck-class armored cruiser and two protected cruisers.

Brazil also sent a large ironclad ship, the Aquibada.

The British sent battleships because Edward VII wanted both sides to pay attention to each other, but this practice should be stopped at the implementation stage in Salisbury.

According to a certain tacit understanding, if you send a ship, I will accompany it with a ship of the same level. However, Nanhua only announced one battleship, three cruisers, and a dozen cruisers.

This is also the reason why France did not send a battleship to participate. The battleship was originally the protagonist, but it was used to pick up passengers. The first ship allowed the British battleship and its own battleship to pass at the same time?

However, in actual operation, there was a slight change.

"what is that?"

"Why are there so many cannons?"

"It's so big, maybe 20,000 tons. Nanhua secretly built such a large warship. What do they want to do?"

pp

"It's a pity that such a large warship is equipped with large-caliber artillery."

"To a certain extent, as long as there are enough large-caliber guns, they can hit the cruiser before it reaches the firing range. It is really a genius idea and a really reckless behavior."

On the British warship, three countries that were not dealing with each other gathered together to discuss the two behemoths anchored in the center of the South China Navy Fleet.

They are the Chang'an and Luojing, with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, a length of more than 160 meters and a width of 27 meters, a draft of 8 meters, heavy armor, and four triple-mounted 305mm cannons.

These external data can crush all warships.

At this time, the dreadnought was about to be launched, and the subsystems had matured. Whether it was artillery, armor, or engines, they all already existed.

Therefore, the Chang'an appeared in front of people's eyes with a crushing force, breaking through the layer of window paper, and the shock it brought is self-evident.

Tong!

The signal flares were launched into the sky, the fleet was full of flags, and the light signals were flashing.

"The performance has begun." Gu Fan said softly on the battleship Chang'an.

explain,

"According to the plan, each ship keeps a distance and sails at a speed of ten knots."

far away.

Liu Yiming sat in the stands on the shore, surrounded by the Prime Minister, ambassadors from various countries, and representatives from all over the country, especially representatives from ethnic minorities.

"Here we come." Liu Yiming murmured softly.

There are many destroyers in Nanhua that can reach 30 knots, but now these destroyers are sailing slowly at ten knots.

The leader was the battleship Nanhua Chang'an.

"This is a new level 1 battleship designed and built by Nanhua. Through our preliminary testing, its appearance has made all old battleships drop to 5. It is the pride of Nanhua." Zhao Jiaxing explained to everyone.

Everyone's expressions were mixed, and the representatives of all ethnic groups were almost overflowing with excitement. After all, they had already boarded Nanhua's ship. Of course, they hoped that the ship would be as strong as possible.

The British smiled reluctantly, the French smiled naturally, nothing could stop the development of the Green Water School, and the Germans looked thoughtful.

The Brazilians simply gathered in a group and discussed something quietly.

After about 20 minutes, the fleet arrived in front of us, and Zhao Jiaxing stood in the crowd.

"Please allow me to solemnly introduce the Dahan-class battleship, the most advanced battleship in the world, with 12 heavy-duty long-barreled guns, a speed of 21 knots, and armor that is enough to withstand shelling!

According to our calculations, in a sea battle, one Dahan-class battleship can fight and defeat three Xianyang-class battleships! This is an epoch-making battleship!" Zhao Jiaxing told excitedly.

Cyril's face was as ugly as the Americans who heard that on the 20th, 003 was launched into the water. There was a sound of fully equipped heavy main guns in the Royal Navy, but it was rejected by the Naval Design Bureau.

Similarly, most countries have similar designs, but only Nanhua was the first to make a finished product. In the next two years, the Dahan class will not have any rivals.

boom!

When the Chang'an passed by the grandstand, the No. 1 main gun fired a salute. From a distance of more than 1 kilometer, no one would notice that the No. 4 turret was made of painted wood.

"Oh my God! There's more! Nanhua built more than one ship!" Ivanov said excitedly as he looked at the huge figure of the second ship.

What are you excited about? Excited that now, the person challenging the British sea power has come out, and the person sharing the firepower has come! And the relationship between the two parties is not bad...

Ivanov looked away from Liu Yiming and Cyril thoughtfully.

——

Didn't Liu Yiming consider it? Liu Yiming had already considered such an obvious problem.

But it doesn't matter, Germany is about to start exerting force, and the North Sea is the focus of both parties. The North Sea is the lifeblood of Britain. Once it is lost, the mainland will be damaged.

"What do Brazilians want?" Liu Yiming asked Secretary Wang softly.

"It hasn't been tested yet. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is further exploring." Secretary Wang said softly.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what your country's plans are for the future?" Cyril asked with a smile.
