The crowning of King George V of this plane was held on the 26th year of the Republic (192 AD) and on the 26th day of the Republic (192 AD). The location is the same as the original time and space, in the Spitherd waters south of the Portsmouth Harbor. However, this time the reference warships were a little more than the original time and space, and there were more than 140 ships from more than 3 countries (the original time and space were more than 8 ships)-

On the 4th of the month, the three ships "Fuxi", "Qinling" and "Qingcheng" came with various countries to participate in the ship-reading warships, as well as the fleet of the British Royal Navy, all assembled in the Spitherd waters south of Portsmouth Port, waiting for the review on the 2nd of the month. The arrangement of the warships was obviously followed by Britain's detailed considerations. Britain's own warships were in the front rows, followed by various colonies, autonomous lords, and other allies such as Japan.

Three Chinese warships were arranged in the penultimate row, between the USS. and the Brazilian formation, on the left are the USS. North Dakota and Delaware battleships, and on the right are Brazil's Minas Gerais battleships. This row also has warships from the German and Austrian allies and some larger neutral countries. The last row are scrambled countries such as Greece, Portugal, Norway, etc.

Among them, there are more than 3 warships in Britain, and more than 6 battleships. The front rows are all British warships, and the huge fleet is almost invisible to the end. This is the tool for the prosperous Sun-Downward Empire to firmly control the Earth's oceans.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, King George V and Queen Mary, accompanied by the First Minister of Maritime Affairs, accompanied by the envoys sent by various countries, their own cabinet members and royal nobles, sailed out of Portsmouth Port on a large luxury yacht. When the reading boats were sailing out of Portsmouth Port, the British Royal Navy flagship first fired a salute, and then, all reference ships fired two cannons at the same time at the prescribed time interval.

In an instant, the rumbling cannons rang out across the blue sea, and the rolling smoke filled the blue sky. George V took the Royal Yacht of the Victoria and Albert to review warships one by one. Every time a ship arrived, the band of the ship played the British national anthem and the national anthem of the country, and the officers and soldiers stood up to pay tribute. Once the music was finished, the officers and soldiers waved their military caps together and shouted "Hurra" three times. King George V and Queen Mary were in high spirits and waved their hands and smiled at the greetings. The spectacular sea collar reading ceremony lasted for more than two hours.

Media from all countries unanimously recognized that the number of participating countries, the number of ships, and the military appearance of this review is the largest in Britain and even the world's history. Among them, the largest size and many main guns. The "Fuxi"-class battleship, known as the "No. 1 battleship in the world", attracted many attentions, won a high reputation for China, and gained countless envious and jealous eyes. There are also three Chinese warships with almost exactly the same silhouette line shapes, which have also become hot topics of discussion.

This is probably why Niu Niu arranged Chinese warships to the second to last row, so as not to steal their own limelight.

Of course, there is also the "rich gold" painting that is dazzling, which is also very eye-catching. Many people even came to ask curiously whether these gold paintings are really gilded. The Chinese side had to fix their faces and explain that this was just gold powder paint, which was made of brass powder with special formulas and several special varnishes, not gilded (dummy, put your file down)

After the ship reading, the Chinese delegation left Portsmouth Port with a complicated mood and began their European visit.

The battleship Fuxi.

The first stop of the Chinese delegation was Germany. On the way, everyone was still immersed in yesterday's magnificent ship reading stairs, talking about the fleet of warships that could not be seen at a glance.

An officer sighed: "The British Navy is so powerful. They only drew less than half of the warships during this inspection..."

Major Li Ang, assistant captain, smiled: "Haha, I don't think so. Our Fuxi class is the most powerful battleship in the world. Although there are many British battleships, most of them are former dreadnoughts. Now their dreadnoughts are only 10 in service, and there are also Orion-class super dreadnoughts in service. In front of our super dreadnoughts, most of them are dead. Only the dreadnoughts can threaten us, but their speed is not as fast as us. Our Qinling class is enough to suppress them. Only after the Orion-class is in service can it pose a certain threat to us. But when we came out, didn't the superior say that there will be plans for at least two battleships every year in the future. In addition to the [Houyi] and [Chiyou] that started construction last year, we will have at least 10 super dreadnoughts..."

Another officer said: "They also have battle cruisers that are faster than our Fuxi class. If they entangle us with battle patrols, they will be besieged with other battleships. No matter how strong our Fuxi class is, it is impossible to defeat four hands with two fists..."

Li Ang smiled and said, "Haha, the battle cruiser's armor is weak, and fighting against the battleship is seeking death, so they bully the cruiser. Oh, haven't we done an experiment? Even our Qingcheng-class main gun can penetrate their latest lion-class main armor belt at a distance of 660 meters. I always think that the British battle cruiser is a very failed design..."

A group of middle and lower-level officers immediately started a fierce debate about this.

Fleet Commander Gao Yujie and several other leaders did not join the debate because they were having a meeting in a small conference room at this time.

"…Fleet 2 will meet with us at Hamburg Port." Foreign Minister Kafur said. This time he came to attend the British crown ceremony as a diplomatic envoy and also presided over the European visit.

Political Commissar Liu Haifeng asked: "Minister Ka, will Germany agree to our request this time? After all, Qingdao is their largest stronghold in Asia..."

Kafur smiled: "Haha, there is a high possibility that they agree. After all, the chips in our hands are what Wei Er needs the most. Although Wei Er is more neurotic, if he trades a Qingdao for the possibility of defeating Britain, I think he can still tell which side is important..."

"Besides, if they don't agree, won't we get it back by ourselves? Just those people in Qingdao can at most be a big deal..." Kafur smiled evilly.

26th year (192 AD), Hamburg.

Another big news broke today, and China and Germany issued a joint statement: Germany will give up all unpaid Boxer indemnities and return Qingdao to China on June 1 this year. China paid Germany 1260,000 marks as the construction costs of municipal projects and ports and other facilities during the period of leasing in Qingdao. After friendly negotiations, the funds were paid in physical and patent fees for some products.

China also promises that German citizens and industrial and commercial enterprises that were formerly rented in Qingdao could continue to live and work in the place where they comply with Chinese laws and regulations. German citizens in the original rented areas can be given a green card, and German industrial and commercial enterprises can enjoy the same treatment as Chinese enterprises.

Countries around the world were suddenly in an uproar and speculated: Is this the rhythm of China joining the Axis powers?

You should know that Germany accounts for 20 million taels of silver in the total number of Boxer indemnities. Although half of the revision of the previous year had been exempted, nearly 100 million taels of silver remained. Not to mention the leased land in Qingdao, the Erdezi was built in the East as the largest permanent base and a "model colony". Not to mention municipal facilities, Germany spent hundreds of millions of marks on the ports and fortresses of Qingdao alone.

Although China also paid Germany 1260,000 marks this time, Erdezi lost no matter how he calculated it. With William II's crazy personality, if he hadn't wanted to pull China into the allies, how could he suffer such a loss? (Of course, the senior leaders of the Party of Wen and the Science and Technology Social Affairs did not think so. In their opinion, this transaction was obviously Erdezi got a big advantage.)

Now the Allies couldn't sit still and asked China if they were planning to join the Allies. Especially Britain, they were almost crazy. If China also joined the Allies, they would not want to fight once the battle started, India, Myanmar, and Malaya. The 1.5 million modern army and the world's number one air force were even more powerful. Even though France still has half of the Indochina Peninsula, it would be even less difficult for China to keep it. Russia must transfer a large amount of military power to the East. For the Allies, this kind of thing is unacceptable.

Even the United States came to ask, but they didn't care, but if China chose Germany, they would also need to adjust the bet ratio.

"You must have misunderstood. The main task of our government is to build a country and increase people's income. We have no interest in participating in the conflicts between European countries. Therefore, whether it is the Allies or Allies, we treat them equally and have not participated in the decision of one party yet... Well, of course, it seems that Germany seems to be more friendly to us now..."

Wen Desi smiled harmlessly and said to ambassadors such as Britain, France, Russia and the United States in a relaxed tone.

Oh my god, you just "not participate for the time being". Can't you have a correct statement? Germany is more friendly to you? All the ambassadors of the Allied countries are solid.

"..." The ambassadors looked at each other, and Juerdian said: "As long as China is willing to remain neutral, our British Empire will express enough friendship to China."

"Okay, I look forward to friendships from all countries..." Wen Desi said with a smile.

After saying that, Juerdian and the others said goodbye and went back. Juerdian quickly generated electricity to the country, explaining China's current ambiguous attitude. The ambassadors of France and Russia also reported to the country, asking domestic bigwigs to come up with a solution, and absolutely not let China turn to the Allies.
