Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"God, how did these Daxia people build such a huge battleship?" Dudley Pound, the captain of the battleship Titan, said with a look of amazement.

Next to him was his first mate Tengus Bailey, who also looked shocked.

In Pound's view, the Royal Navy of John's Empire is the most powerful and should have the most powerful warships in the world. But why do the Daxia people's battleships look more powerful than the John Empire's battleships now?

"Dear Bailey, what do you think the tonnage of this battleship is?" Pound put down the telescope in his hand and turned to Bailey beside him and asked.

"Your Excellency, according to visual inspection, this battleship has exceeded 60,000 tons, but we don't know the exact amount." Bailey also had a sad look on his face.

As soon as I heard Bailey say that the Daxia people's battleships exceeded 2.02 tons, I then thought about the Titan at my feet, which was only tons fully loaded.

This means that the Daxia people's battleships are at least three times as large as his Giant battleship.

You know, the Giant is the newest and most powerful post-Dreadnought-class battleship in the John Empire. The Daxia people's battleship was even more exaggerated than the battleship at his feet, which made Pound very puzzled.

"Damn the intelligence department, they spend so many pounds from the empire every year, but they don't even get any information, and they actually let the Daxia people actually build such a powerful battleship." Pound complained.

In naval battles, the tonnage of a battleship often represents the combat effectiveness of the battleship.

Because the greater the tonnage, it means that your armor is thicker, which means that you can install more powerful artillery.

To put it simply, the combat effectiveness of the Daxia battleships on the opposite side was at least three times that of our own.

Of course, combat effectiveness cannot be calculated based on simple tonnage, but there is no doubt that the three warships they see now are not something they can provoke.

"Your Excellency, I have to remind you that the order from the Admiralty is for us to escort the Daxia people to the Hans Empire." Bailey looked at Pound, whose face was getting more and more ugly, and couldn't help but remind him. road.

He knew his captain so well that it could be said that he was definitely a John the Navy man.

Now he is so afraid of getting fat that he can't help but give orders to attack the Daxia people.

If this is the case, let alone whether they can win the fight, even if they win, the consequences will not be something they can bear.

Hearing Bailey's words, Pound looked back at him and then said: "Dear Mr. Bailey, do you really think I am a fool?"

"Now we don't have enough strength in the Mediterranean, and there are many places that need to be guarded. The only ones who can come to escort the Daxia people are our four warships."

"As for the main battleship, the Giant at our feet is the only one left, and there is only one cruiser and two destroyers. What do you think we have the strength to attack the Daxia people?"

Bailey was quite speechless when he heard Pound's words.

Did he mean it? He was clearly reminding Pound not to be impulsive.

However, Bailey also knew that his commander had a sharp tongue, but his heart was not bad.

Pang De turned around and looked again at the Taizong, which was a mile away.

"Damn it, after I go back this time, I will definitely advise those idiots in the parliament to come up with a better design."

"The Empire must ensure that the Imperial Royal Navy is the most powerful in the world!"

If Pang De lets Lin Yi know, he will definitely laugh out loud.

In fact, at this time, Lin Yi didn't know that the person escorting him from the John Empire across the street was none other than Dudley Pound, the future Admiral of the John Empire, First Sea Lord, and Chief of Naval Staff.

If he knew, he would definitely have a relationship with the future marshal and let him build more battleships.

You know, the man in front of you is a true admirer of giant ships and cannons.

Subsequently, the Daxia fleet and the escort fleet of the John Empire were separated by a distance of five nautical miles and headed towards the Strait of Gibraltar in the western Mediterranean.

After crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, Lin Yi and others entered the Atlantic Ocean.

Sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, Lin Yi felt that the waves here were more turbulent than in the Indian Ocean.

Even though the total displacement of the Ocean Star under his feet has reached 20,000 tons, it is still very bumpy.

Lin Wanyu and the others hid in the room again, feeling a little uncomfortable.

After seeing this, Lin Yi felt a little distressed and decided not to take them out in the future unless necessary.

After all, in this era, it is really a torture to travel far away.

After passing through the Strait of Gibraltar, the fleet sailed along the Iberian Peninsula, then along the west coast of the Gallic Empire and into the English Channel.

Finally, Lin Yi and others docked at Wilhelmshaven in the Hans Empire.

Of course, after Pound and others escorted Lin Yi from the Mediterranean to the English Channel, they transferred the escort task to the Hans Empire's North Sea Fleet.

At this time, the Hans Empire's North Sea Fleet, due to several battles with the John Empire, did not have many available warships.

With great difficulty, three battleships of more than 10,000 tons were put together to greet Lin Yi and his party.

But when they saw the Taizong number, they were collectively speechless.

Who would have thought that the three Dreadnought-class battleships of the Hans Empire combined would not have as much displacement as the Taizong.

This really made these Hans Empire naval generals envious.

When Lin Yi's Ocean Star and the escort fleet docked in Wilhelmshaven, as soon as Lin Yi stepped off the Ocean Star, he received enthusiastic cheers from the people of the Hans Empire.

Lin Yi was wearing an imperial general's uniform, with medals and ribbons hanging on his chest. He slowly raised his right arm and waved it gently to the crowd.

Behind him were the three princesses who had recovered their strength and were dressed up carefully.

I have to say that Zhao Xu had a good eye for choosing his princess. The three of them all have very good foundations, and when they are dressed now, a solemn and gentle aura immediately exudes from the three princesses.

Let the people of the Hans Empire who are still waiting to welcome Lin Yi on the shore have a deep understanding of the beauty that comes from the East.

Especially on the shore, Crown Prince William, who came to greet Lin Yi on behalf of William II, also looked shocked after seeing Lin Yi's three princesses, and seemed a little dull for a moment.

This is not to say that Crown Prince William has any thoughts about the three princesses, but simply that after seeing beautiful things, his brain failed to react.

At this time, Crown Prince William felt that any of the three princesses from the Eastern countries could defeat any woman in the European royal family.

Perhaps in terms of appearance alone, there may be women who are better than them, but coupled with this kind of temperament, they are several steps ahead of all European women.

When the three princesses came out of the cabin, they were obviously not used to the occasion. Although they were still trying to maintain dignity on the surface, they were very nervous inside.

They even felt that the cheers on the shore were much quieter after they appeared, which made them even more nervous.
