Chapter 191 Demonstration
Tianjin Wei, since the mission of the Huaxia Empire landed here, it has been the main transit station in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Since then, there have been more and more crowds. At first, there were various nearby small merchants. Later, big merchants have joined them one after another. Taverns, hotels, and inns are filled with streets and alleys. The original acropolis gradually became a small city and then developed into a big city. Such a big change was completed in only three years. In this era, it has to be said to be a miracle.
The busy port city has become particularly different today, because yesterday, a huge fleet of steel came from the bay outside the port. Each of them was as tall as a hill, and with such a thick muzzle that adults could drill into, pointing at the sky, which was daunting.
For thousands of years of history, no one has ever said that a ship made of steel can only float on water, and its size is so large that the people of the Ming Dynasty whom they first saw were stunned and thought they had seen miracles.
The 10 battleships and 8 aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet have all arrived. Only a few mission-related destroyers and submarines did not arrive. The huge fleet just stopped there quietly and put absolute pressure on people. Of course, they included Zhu Youjian. He sat on the reference ship provided by the Chinese Empire, with a little numb expression. The shock of the other party today was too great. When he was in the Chinese Empire just now, he was just an iron armored warship. In his understanding, the huge wooden warship outer cladding of iron armor is understandable. What is the one that appears in front of him now? The entire warship is made of steel. It is completely beyond his imagination.
Of course, the same is true for all the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty who were traveling with him. The timid officials didn't even have the courage to step onto the steel battleship. Even if they came up, their legs were trembling slightly.
Ke Lifeng, commander of the Pacific First Fleet, deputy commander Wang Qishen, and chief of staff Youcheng were also with the wise rulers and ministers. The three of them looked at the expressions of the people in front of them with satisfaction, and endured them even if they wanted to laugh. This was an important diplomatic occasion, and they must not be wasted all their efforts because of their failure.
After Zhu Youjian recovered a little, Ke Lifeng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, our soldiers have prepared the target ship to let everyone see the power of the main gun of the battleship. It may be a bit loud. Please pay attention."
"Commander Ke, please start with the soldiers. I also want to see how powerful the cannon barrels can be stuffed into adults."
"Yes, your majesty, please wait."
With a command, the navy soldiers who were already ready turned their guns neatly and pointed at a former iron-armored warship on the sea in the distance.
"fire……"
The coordination ability of the fleet communication system can send orders to the entire fleet as soon as possible. Therefore, after the order is issued, almost at the same time, 10 battleships fired the roar of the earth-moving mountain rocking ships, and the recoil of the naval gun made the entire battleship slightly tilt.
The target ship in the distance quickly disappeared from people's eyes with the roar. With such a dense artillery bombardment, all that was left was pieces of wreckage.
Officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty who were sitting all over the ground were completely frightened. They were mentally prepared and were still deafened by the sudden roar. They stared blankly at the sea in the distance, and the timid people even wet their crotch.
"This, if you aim the cannon at the city, it will be wiped out in ashes in one shot, right?"
After a while, Zhu Youjian was the first to come back to his senses and muttered to himself in a daze.
"Your Majesty, the times are developing, and the progress of science and technology represents endless new things and new weapons. It can be said that under such giant cannons, even a hill can flatten him. At present, nothing can resist it."
Ke Lifeng was always by Chongzhen's side and explained after hearing his words.
Youcheng may have considered the chaos at the scene, so he was prepared and signaled the soldiers to take away the officials who were out of control and go in to change their clothes.
After the order at the scene was restored again, Ke Lifeng said again: "Your Majesty, do you still want to see our Air Force? This is a new service. As long as you are loaded on the aircraft carrier and stay on the sea, the naval aviation forces can fight thousands of kilometers away, and the speed is super fast."
"Are the iron birds parked on the big ship behind? Are they so powerful?"
"Yes, even if we stop here, it can fly to Datong or the Northeast now. As long as it is within its combat radius, all enemies have nowhere to escape. We have made arrangements in advance. The hill in the northeast has been cleared. If your Majesty needs it, we can watch the actual combat process on site."
"Then let's start. I also want to see how the iron bird flew into the sky and how it fought."
In order to increase the visual effect, the live-fire exercises were all bombers. Ten of them took off from each of the eight aircraft carriers, and a total of 80 bombers flew towards the hills in the distance. After arriving at the destination, the belly of the aircraft opened, and huge bombs fell like eggs. The harsh sound of "woooooo" came from a long distance.
"Boom, boom..."
The continuous explosion sounded faintly, and the most obvious thing was that the entire abandoned hill was instantly lit with fire, surrounded by smoke and dust. At this moment, the small mountain bun suddenly realized that the end of the world was coming, and there was no way to see its true appearance.
"Doesn't you even need a rifle in the future? You may be able to fight by sitting at home, right?"
Such practical effect is indeed shocking. The officials present, who have greatly enhanced their acceptance ability, quickly accepted this reality. Large ships made of steel can sail on the sea, iron birds can fly in the sky, and the combat effect is super strong. As long as you have such a weapon, there will be no enemy on the earth that can rarely defeat them.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had just ascended the throne and was about to do something great, was extinguished by the deafening demonstrations of the Chinese Empire. He always thought that he could succeed as an emperor, but at present, this goal was a bit far away, and he didn't know whether he could achieve it in his lifetime.
He also understood the meaning of the Huaxia Empire. Immigration cannot be stopped. Although there will be no war because the Ming Dynasty and the Huaxia Empire are of the same clan and clan, it should not be difficult to change an emperor. He now understands such a simple truth very clearly. The thoughts at the beginning of the throne were completely buried in the deepest part of his heart at this moment. He dared not think about it, let alone mention that the world has changed too much. He just thought that he had learned advanced ideas and ideas, but now it seems that he is still very backward, because the Huaxia Empire can always lead one step ahead, making people desperate.
The parade of the sea ended in a hurry with the absent-minister of the Ming Dynasty. Ke Lifeng didn't care. As long as the other party understood the meaning of the empire, it would be fine. In the future, no artificially set up immigration obstacles, it would represent the success of today's mission.
