The next morning, the traveler arranged a vehicle and sent Li Hongzhang, the observation team, the working group sent by the traveler to Shanghai, Zhao Weizhong and others to Dagukou, and Qin Zheng personally accompanied him to deliver it.

After the convoy arrived at Dagukou, Qin Zheng also opened the Yueyang ship according to his previous promise and asked the observation team to board the ship to visit. Of course, the only part above the deck was opened, and all indoor cabins were not included.

In fact, in this era, it is very common for countries to visit each other's warships. If they are friendly countries, they can strengthen exchanges between the two countries, and if they are hostile countries, they will demonstrate to each other. Visiting warships is generally limited to above the deck. Only when the relationship between the two sides is quite good can the cabin be opened. After all, warships in this era do not have any electronic equipment, and the military equipment is basically above the deck. Visiting cabins is generally only held for some talks, exchanges, and dinner activities, so they are only symbolic.

In the old time and space, the navies of various countries would regularly open warships to their own citizens to conduct military exchanges with other countries, and also visit warships with each other during joint military exercises. However, modern warships generally do not open cabins, but this is to truly protect the secrets, because modern warships are equipped with a large number of electrical equipment, which directly affects the combat effectiveness of warships. In a sense, the advantages and disadvantages of electronic equipment are the basis of the strength of modern warships. Therefore, after receiving the order, the command center of Yueyang ship did not object, but was prepared early in the morning. Generally, when modern warships open to visit, they would pull a blocking rope at the naval guns, vertical fire boxes, missile fire boxes, etc., which can be seen close, but cannot be touched. The soldiers of the entire ship would change into formal uniforms to guard these places and cabin doors, and the rest of the soldiers would be on duty at the tail of the ship to maintain order.

Many people in the observation group were very excited when they knew that they could visit overseas Chinese warships, because on the way to Tianjin, the Yueyang and Sanya ships showed superior maneuverability and airworthiness. Moreover, these two warships had superior performance, but they only had very few military equipment, which puzzled some members of the observation group. Now there is an opportunity to observe the other warships at close range, so I can find some agreements from them.

Because he is the British representative Colonel Martinez and Lieutenant Colonel Brown, he believes that his Royal Navy of the British Empire has sufficient experience and has always believed that there must be some hidden weapons on the warships of overseas Chinese. If he can mount the other party's warship and observe carefully, he will definitely find them.

Li Hongzhang was not very interested in visiting warships, but Sa Zhenbing was quite eager. After all, he was a warship manager, and overseas Chinese warships were very mysterious and wanted to see the warships from overseas Chinese. Li Hongzhang was not willing to let everyone down, so accompanied by Qin Zheng, boarded the fore deck of Yueyang ship.

Because the Yueyang ship has a fully enclosed structure and does not have a deck that is inactive for the front and rear. If you want to go from the front deck to the rear deck, you must pass the cabin passage. Therefore, generally, open warships will start from the front deck.

Li Hongzhang didn't care much. After boarding the Yueyang ship, he just took a look around and didn't even go to the stern of the ship, so he got off the warship and rested. Li Hongzhang got off the ship, Li Jingfang and Zhang Peilun were not good enough to stay on the warship, so they all got off the ship with Li Hongzhang, and only Sa Zhenbing was still watching on the warship. Qin Zheng also accompanied Li Hongzhang to get off the ship, leaving Wang Hailong and others to greet others on the warship.

Some of the members of the observation group had their ships. Even the British commander of the observation group, McClaney, also went down to the warship to rest, but basically all those who stayed on the warship were soldiers. Colonel Martinez and Lieutenant Colonel Brown had to observe carefully and not miss every detail. They saw the back deck from the front deck, and then moved from the back deck to the front deck, but there were no hidden weapons. They didn't see the places they couldn't understand before, but they were still confused and couldn't understand.

However, the two of them had considerable naval experience after all. After three rounds, they focused on the vertical firing platform of the Yueyang ship, and the position of the Haihongqi 16 air defense missile. First, the largest area is in this area, and there are ropes around, and there are many soldiers guarding it, so it must be an important place; second, the cover-shaped thing on this platform must have articles inside, and maybe it is some kind of secret weapon.

But the two of them circled around the vertical shooting platform for a few times, but they couldn't see any of them. However, their behavior also attracted the attention of others and they circled around. At this time, Wang Hailong accompanied Sa Zhenbing to the vertical shooting platform. Sa Zhenbing said, "Captain Wang, is there anything under the stage?"

Wang Hailong laughed and said, "Yes, what is contained in it is the strongest weapon on our warship."

After hearing this, the members of the observation team were immediately energetic. There were indeed some tricks in it, so they immediately surrounded Long and Martinez said: "Captain Wang, what weapon is there? Is it a cannon or a torpedo? Why should it be installed here?"

Wang Hailong spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, this is a military secret, and there is nothing to tell me. I can only tell you that the weapons here represent our highest level of technology, and nothing else can be said."

This reply almost made others vomit blood, but it was reasonable. A country's strongest weapon could not be easily revealed. However, there was finally a clear research direction, so everyone was unwilling to accept it and circled around the vertical shooting platform. However, no matter how many circles it was, it looked like a rectangular platform with 4 rows of rows, each row of 8, a total of 32 casings, each of which was about 50 centimeters in size. Apart from that, there was really no Mingtang. Unless you could go over and take a look, Martines looked at the soldiers carrying live ammunition on both sides and quickly gave up the idea.

In fact, the time traveler is not worried that the observation team can see anything on the Yueyang ship, because the technical gap between warships and warships of this era is too big. For people of this era, the technical level of warships of this era is not something they can understand. Therefore, even if they are allowed to walk on the warship for three days and three nights, they cannot see anything. And the time traveler is naturally happy to pretend to be generous.

At this moment, McClane boarded the Yueyang ship again and said, "Have you finished visiting? If you finished watching, go down. Our ship is ready."

Wang Hailong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. You can just watch it. If today is not enough, you can live in the military camp and continue watching tomorrow."

The members of the observation group could not hear Wang Hailong's sarcasm. Although they were angry, they had no choice but to do anything about him. Moreover, they had no meaning to continue watching, so they could only humiliate themselves. Therefore, the members of the observation group had to bow their heads and walk down the warship along the gangway.

Martinez was mixed in the ranks and was about to get off the ship when Brown behind him slapped his shoulder and said, "Col. Look, someone playing football there."

Martinez was stunned and looked in Brown's finger direction. He saw that behind a row of walls in the distance, there were indeed a group of people playing football on a grassland, and there were many people watching around him. Because they stood on the warship, they could see the scene behind the wall. Of course, their attention was all on the warship just now, so they didn't notice it.

The UK is the source of modern football, and with the expansion of the UK's foreign power, it spread football to the world and eventually became the world's number one sport. Although professional football in the old time and space had not yet been formed at this time, football has been widely popular in the UK and Europe. However, it is generally recognized that the UK has the highest football level. In the 2nd Olympic Games held in 19oo, football was listed as the official competition event of the Olympic Games, and the UK won the first football gold medal in Olympic history, which is the best proof.

In the armies of various countries, football is also the favorite sport of soldiers. Football is a team sport. It can not only exercise the body, but also cultivate teamwork and team consciousness among the team members. Therefore, the ** teams also encourage the extensive development of football in the army, which is also one of the reasons why football is called a war in a peaceful era.

In the British Navy, football has become a tradition. Each warship will organize a football team. Not only do they often play with each other, but they also often play with military football teams from other countries. Because the UK has the highest football level, the UK always wins more and loses less football matches between the army. Martinez and Brown are both football enthusiasts and members of the football team of this ship. Now, I suddenly see that overseas Chinese are also playing football, so I am naturally very interested.

In fact, although China's football level was not very good in the old time and space, the Chinese people's love for football is no less than that of other traditional football powers. Therefore, football is also one of the most popular sports for the Chinese team. In addition, in the foreign exchanges of the Chinese Navy, it often plays football matches with the armies of other countries to enhance exchanges and friendship. On each crossing warship, the football team of this ship was formed, and it has several footballs, a full set of jerseys, sneakers and other equipment. Anyway, these things do not occupy much place.

Later, after the Navy stabilized at Dagukou base, it immediately set up three football fields in the base, built a goal, and hung a net. The time travelers allowed the time travel soldiers to play football in addition to training. After all, there were not many entertainment activities in this era, so these three football fields were not idle almost every day. Moreover, the time travelers not only played football by themselves, but also taught local soldiers to play football, which could enhance the understanding and feelings among the soldiers.

Wang Hailong said: "Col. Martines, football has always been our favorite sport for warriors."

Martinnes said: "So that's the case. Football is also our favorite sport in the British Navy. If you had known that you also like football, we should organize a football team to Tianjin. Everyone can play a game. Our Centurion football team is very famous in the British Navy."
