Chapter 351 Sward's last effort! David challenges Goliath!
"I'm a god! What the hell is that?"
"Monster! It must be a monster!"
"No! Idiot! That's a warship, God's warship! He's here to save us!"
"Believers! Let us pray! God sent an envoy to save us!"
"That, priest, I want to ask, why does the messenger of God hang the flag of that empire?"
"this……"
An unprecedented fleet, an unprecedented giant warship, appeared in New York Harbor, even on the ocean, there would definitely be many New York citizens seeing it. Such fresh, huge, loud, and scary things, so citizens can't come to watch?
At this time, there were really many people gathering at the Manhattan Pier, just like Li Mengyang led the New York Revolution here, and then the Erikson sank Samuel DuPont's Minnesota... Well, General DuPont is now the general of the empire, and he was resentful of the naval battle that year and kept claiming that it was an accident, his ship was sunk!
It was indeed sunk, but that was sunk too? And now, in the city of New York, facing such a giant ship, would it sink?
"Mr. Sward, I will tell you solemnly that our British Empire fleet must remain neutral. You can handle the internal affairs of your America by yourself, and that's it......"
"! His Excellency Clarendon, please do not make a decision so early, I ask you. Sincerely..."
On the Constitutional Number in New York Harbor, Earl Clarendon is meeting with US Secretary of State Sward, and the two of them have reached an agreement before... It seems that they are going to change their minds!
Not enough. Earl Clarendon found Sward at the first time, and his attitude was very clear. Our British Empire fleet would not help. You can handle the things on the sea by yourself.
Obviously, the tariff reductions before, and many preferential policies for the British Empire could not impress Count Clarendon, and this great nobleman felt that he was doing right, because anyone who saw the steel giant beast on the sea would make such a decision, so he simply didn't have to go through the British Queen, and I, the great nobleman, was arbitrary!
It is really normal to say that Count Clarendon's attitude changes, but Sward cannot lose this strong support now, so he said so.
"Your Excellency! I understand your mood. I have also seen the big guy on the sea, but you, I must say, maybe that guy doesn't look that great?"
Alas. This is interesting, maybe it doesn't look like it?
"What? Such a large ship is all made of metal. Is such a giant ship still fake?!" Earl Clarendon didn't want to listen to Sward's nonsense. He actually wanted to leave this ghost place immediately.
However, Sward is the leader of all the ministers and the most capable Lincoln cabinet member.
"Your Excellency! I really think that kind of thing cannot be real!"
"You guy is simply insulting me! I saw it with my own eyes!"
This was almost arguing, but Sward smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency, I want to ask, which country in today's world has the strongest national strength and the most prosperous science?"
"Huh?" Earl Clarendon was stunned, because the answer to this question was too simple, "Of course it was my British Empire!"
That's right, the most powerful person in the world today is the British Empire. Even in New York and the United States of America, you, as the Secretary of State, have to admit it, right?
“That’s exactly that!”
Alas, Sward admitted it, then... Earl Clarendon was a little confused, so why are you asking this question?
Sward laughed and said, "That's true. I would like to ask the Earl, can the giant ship outside New York Harbor, the British Empire be built?"
"Um?!"
This question is simply!
On the surface, this problem is a run of Count Clarendon, but in fact, this is what Sward wants to say. Maybe that giant ship is fake!
Yes, the logic is that since even the strongest British Empire in the world cannot create such a giant ship, how could the American Empire be built?
As long as this is said, Earl Clarendon will naturally understand. Although he is a noble master, he is not a fool, so he can understand it naturally. But... let's not talk about anything else. There is such a thing in front of you. How can you prove that this thing is fake?
It’s like if there is something in front of a person’s eyes, but others say that this thing does not exist. How can I do it?
Actually, it’s very simple. Judging from the current situation, just beating her family!
If you want to prove that a giant ship is fake and looks good, then you can only fight. Only this is the only way, but such a task...
"Your Excellency! Our United States Navy will prove to you that the so-called giant ship is actually a pile of useless scrap iron!" Sward swore!
"..." Earl Clarendon really didn't say anything, because the guy in front of him was so confident, and he was doubtful in his heart what he wanted to prove. That's good, you go up and fight. "Mr. Sward, if your navy proves this, then the agreement between us will still take effect!"
"Okay, Your Excellency!"
Then next, I'm going to fight, then this fight...
Who is on? That ship?
Because of the civil war, the U.S. navy actually had considerable development. It was really bad before, but later because of the blockade of the south, the navy was very important. However, because the revolution carried out by Li Mengyang in New York had a certain impact on the U.S. navy in some aspects.
The most advanced one of the ships is the iron-shelled ship, but this thing is very expensive and not much is built. In addition, due to the intervention of the British, it was almost impossible to completely block the south in terms of trade routes. Therefore, in recent years, the speed of the Navy of the United States has slowed down greatly.
The main thing is that there is no money. The country that was hit by the civil war is already in a short position. Anyway, it cannot kill its opponents, so why do we build so many warships?
So, after the Battle of Vicksburg, once Dalgren surrendered, there were not many warships left.
Of course. This refers to the most advanced one, that is, the iron-shelled ship. If you want to talk about the old-fashioned sail warship, there are still some, such as the Constitution!
"Navy soldiers! The glorious Constitution! This is the legend of our United States Navy! The legend of the legend! This 'old iron armor', she will continue to create legends! Today! Our enemies actually gave us a ridiculous ultimatum?! Soldiers! Can we agree? Can we surrender?!"
Sward chose the Constitution. This warship with a legendary story represents the glorious history of the United States Navy!
"Of course not!"
"Absolutely not possible!"
The crew of the Constitution, whether it is the captain or the ordinary sailor, are full of fighting!
Why choose the Constitutional Number?
On the one hand, this warship really represents the history of the United States Navy, and on the other hand, this ship is really lucky. It used to sink the warships of the British Empire. Another reason is that this ship is relatively old!
Old. This refers to the hull of the Constitution, or it is still wood, but the cannons on this ship are not old at all.
So. If the ship is using such a ship to fight against the opponent's steel giant beast, if the ship is just a stunning appearance, and is actually nothing inside, then once it succeeds, or can gain some advantage, the entire situation will be reversed!
It turns out it's fake!
And because it is 'fake', Sward has to take this risk.
"Soldiers! I will be with you!" Sward went out!
He had to give up. Because there was no way out. If it wasn't a 'fake', then what else could be said? Earl Clarendon would run away immediately and the foreign aid would be gone. What else could Sward do?
So, just do it!
In this way, New York Harbor staged a drama like David fighting against the giant Goria. An old sailing warship with only two decks rushed towards the steel giant beast on the ocean without hesitation!
"It's crazy!" Earl Clarendon naturally saw this scene with a telescope, and that's his comment, but then again, what if Sward became? That's not bad...
"Slow down! slow down!"
"Switch the rudder!"
Not long after, the Constitutional Number approached the steel giant beast, and at this time, these individuals were very imposing.
In fact, the Constitution is now a training ship, which means that the guys on this ship are all a group of new recruits... In fact, this is also an important reason why Sward chose the Constitution. As the saying goes, the ignorant is fearless, and these new recruits are easier to fool.
But no matter what, I bet this time, Sward stood alone on the side of the Constitution!
"Very good! Very good!" Sward was very confident because after approaching, the giant ship had no reaction, which shows that his guess might be correct!
So, did the San Francisco of the American Empire react?
"..." Matthew, DuPont and Erikson in the command room were simply staring at each other. They couldn't understand what a small boat was in front of them.
But soon, I found out that the opponent turned the rudder and exposed the side cannon, which means that the ship is here to fight!
Is there anyone so idiot?
Yes, whoever sees this scene probably will think so. The difference between these two ships is too big. Do you have the nerve to fire?
Boom! Boom! Boom...
I really dare to fight!
Duang!duang!duang!...
The Constitution was fully fired, and only the steel plates on the San Francisco were smashed with loud noises, as if they were knocking with a hammer!
but!
After the smoke of gunpowder has no effect at all!
That steel giant beast had just some of its shell deformed, that's all!
"..." Almost for a moment, the entire New York Harbor became quiet...
Buzz... There is only one sound, which is the sound of a double-double-haired turret on the steel giant beast. The huge, black hole-hole muzzle aimed at the Constitution... (To be continued 1qd0202)
ps: I won’t say much, thank you for your support! Thank you very much!
