Chapter 662 Sugar-coated shells
Are you going to Le Havre City?
Oysters, grilled sea bass, smoked sausages and apple tarts, please say hello to someone there, who used to be my friend.
Ask him to prepare a table of meals for me, crab, flounder, stewed tripe and rice pudding, beer without onions and garlic, so that he can continue to be my friend.
…
In the Internet era, there was a question in a Chinese language exam in a major country in the East: what kind of feelings does the lyrics of "Friends in Le Havre" written by Grand Duke Weisen while on vacation in Le Havre?
A student from Wessenburg City replied: The lyrics express Mr. Wessen's disgust with the addition of onions and garlic to beer.
The teacher gave this answer an X. The student was dissatisfied and caused an international storm after complaining on the Internet. Finally, the descendants of the Wesson family made some of Maria's diaries for the first time to prove that the student was right.
It was just that Frederick and Maria had a high level of cultivation and were not shown when they were visiting Philip D'Franches's family, so that this statement was only passed down as anecdotes in the city of Wesenberg.
Frederick and Maria lived a leisurely life in Le Havre. They went to the theater from time to time to watch plays, fished on the beach, and were invited to attend the establishment ceremony of the first local football club and served as honorary head coach.
During this period, the troops of the Kingdom of Angland boarded the ship and headed straight to the Kingdom of Tarago. The external propaganda was to deal with the pagans with the Wesson army.
"You are still so leisurely?" Frederick found that Armand was still here. "Charlie across the sea is obviously for you."
Arman picked up the sweet shrimps roasted by Frederick and ate them. He said indifferently: "Anyway, I have sent the information back. Now my mission is to watch you."
Frederick smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. I will take a boat to the Kingdom of Riesonburg for winter in a while."
Arman shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. Intuition tells me that you are planning a big thing."
Frederick picked up a half-cut shrimp and placed it on the wire mesh. The spice wine of the pickled shrimp dripped away the carbon fire, making a sizzling sound.
Armann said again, "How did you get the shrimps with two thin wooden sticks in one hand?"
Frederick picked up another one and said, "This is the food tool for peach blossom stone. I plan to have the opportunity to go on a trip. Now contact us first."
Armann thought for a while and said, "I heard that the Dashi Empire participated in the civil war of the Gaqi Empire and began to send troops to the eastern part of the Gaqi Empire. The road may not be peaceful in recent years."
Frederick flipped the shrimp on the iron net, sighed and said, "The Dashi Empire has a poor ability to seize the opportunity. If there is still a chance to end before the fall of Wanjing City, the overall situation of the Jiaqi Empire has been determined. The best way is to bite the remote areas on the border and then blackmail a sum of money. If you persist and do not retreat, you can get land, but the investment is too great. If you continue to attack, you will encounter siege and send out all the field mobile forces, and finally be pushed back."
"Hehe, their emperor is very ambitious."
Armann chatted with him all the time, and during the period he found out some news: "I heard you are building two new ships?"
Armann nodded and said, "The new flying tulip and the flying cornflower."
Armann asked in surprise: "Has the original flying tulip been removed?"
The ship without sails shocked many people, but he didn't expect it to be removed so soon.
Frederick smiled bitterly and said, "I have injured the keel and cannot be repaired anymore. I'm going to take it to the exhibition."
Armann sighed, "It's a pity."
The sea navigation is very risky. He thought it was caused by the cause of hitting the reef, so he didn't ask again.
Arman continued, "I heard that the steamships of the Kingdom of Angland have been launched in the north, and they seem to be specialized warships. It is said that they have installed many weapons."
Frederick echoed, "That's really amazing."
There is a steam bakery near the shipyard in the Kingdom of Angland, and the steam bakery office has obtained a lot of information about the ship.
It was a paddle steamer, using a tractor engine, with water wheels on the stern, with metal armor protection on both sides of the water wheel and the hull. A total of 30 jet cannons developed by the Kingdom of Angles were installed on both sides of the three decks, and rocket-like weapons may be installed with disposable jet tanks as power.
But based on the number of ships and the information provided by steam bakeries elsewhere, the boat actually installed at least 60 jet cannons. Frederick had to sigh that the shipbuilding heritage of the Kingdom of Angland was still very powerful, and he created a battleship without any troops.
Armann saw that he was not surprised, so he asked, "Do you know about that boat?"
Frederick replied, "I know a little."
He was wondering in his heart whether Armand had any purpose in mentioning the boat.
Now the Duchy of Wesson is building two large shipyards in the Beihai area, and anyone can see that the glory of the guild alliance will inevitably be restored in the future.
The Kingdom of Angland is another maritime power, and the two sides will inevitably collide.
Frederick couldn't help but wonder, would the Kingdom of Gaul provoke a fight between the two sides?
If the fight starts, Lugang will be the first to be hit, and the Kingdom of Gaul will likely be involved.
A thought suddenly appeared in Frederick's heart. Could it be that the Kingdom of Gaul thought that he had won the Kingdom of Tarago, and his next goal was the Kingdom of Angland, but the Kingdom of Gaul was not strong at sea, so he took Lugang to pull himself into the water.
He immediately took a breath. Old Louis shouldn't have considered this early in the morning. So on the one hand, he built a defense system in the northern coastal areas of the Gaul Kingdom, and on the other hand, he sealed the land in Lugang to himself on the grounds of thanking for his treatment.
Lugang is located in the inland waterway northeast of the Kingdom of Gaul, and it happens to be on the edge of the defense system, and can be bypassed by rivers. If the Kingdom of Angles wants to attack the Kingdom of Gaul, it is the best land stronghold.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
Another point was agreed at that time that Lugang would only carry out limited arming, and the Kingdom of Angland would be able to defeat the country.
The more Frederick thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely. That was what Old Louis should have planned. Since he was not easy to fight, let himself join and beat people, or force himself to join.
The land in Lugang is just a sugar-coated cannonball.
Frederick quickly thought of preventive measures and asked Armand: "I won't talk about other countries anymore. I have an idea. How about opening a postal connection between our two countries?"
"Just like the Dafranche family, it is not very convenient for the two brothers to send letters, so they have to ask someone to deliver the letter. If they can get the postage, it is much more convenient."
Armand thought about it and recently, the Kingdom of Gaul learned from the Rhine Alliance to establish a postal ministry. The effect was good. It would be great if I could communicate with the Rhine Alliance.
He said, "I will report it to His Majesty the King, probably no problem."
Frederick said, "The exchange center for the mail between the two countries should be placed in Lugang."
Arman felt that it was no problem.
Frederick continued, "By the way, you know that there are machines flying in the sky over me, which are much faster than ships."
He pointed to the sea and said, "There are often ships in distress at sea. Although there are communicators to ask for help, it still takes a lot of time to find and get there."
"I plan to build an air rescue center in Lugang. If a ship is in distress, it will fly over immediately and be found soon. Whether it is guiding other ships or throwing lifebuoys, it can save the life of the sailors."
"Of course, if the weather is too bad, then only the God of Light will bless you."
Arman said, "Isn't this the content of your Dawn Chamber of Commerce's maritime insurance work? If there is no problem with business behavior, you can bring the airship over."
"Of course, if you agree that someone pays to fly in the sky on the airship, no one will object."
Frederick immediately said, "Oh, how do you know I am planning to provide airship passenger service?"
He decided to set up an airport in Lugang for reconnaissance airport.
At that time, a large airport will be built in the inland areas of the border between the Rhine Alliance and the Lower Territory, in the name of the Postal Ministry, and at that time, Psych had already created a large transport aircraft.
After all torpedoes were hit by accident in actual combat, all parties made improvements, but the man-controlled torpedoes and rockets at the Springfield Arsenal were a bit too strong.
The predecessor of the telegram was the technology of remote-controlled magic array activation. I don’t know if it was my own opinion or Psych’s guidance, so I developed a jet side push. The torpedo and rocket were equipped with an upper side push device to adjust the direction. The observer used a telescope to observe whether it was biased. The operator used a handle to control the up, down, left and right.
Although it can only be fought within sight range, it is enough.
Frederick was a little curious. If the man-controlled rocket could really be created, would there be a carbon-based magic air defense device (referred to as a magician) against the man-controlled rocket in the future? It should be very interesting.
