    Battlecruisers, as the name suggests, are battleships between battleships and cruisers. They are faster than battleships and have more fierce firepower than cruisers.  A battleship that combines high speed and powerful firepower.

    When Wang Yuze saw that the famous British Lord of the Admiralty Sir Fisher was very interested in the battlecruiser "Bai Qi", he realized that his plan was almost successful.  Letting Britain build a bunch of battlecruisers that are of little use will inevitably greatly weaken Britain's war potential. It will be even easier to defeat Britain by then.

    "Your Majesty the Emperor, I would like to visit this battlecruiser of your country, is it okay?" Sir Fisher asked.

    Wang Yuze hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Of course! Your Highness the Prince, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Minister of the Navy, please!"

    Later, Wang Yuze accompanied him personally, including the future King Edward VII of England, British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour and British Admiralty Lord Fisher, who all boarded the battle cruiser "Bai Qi" and visited with great interest.  got up.  However, some important equipment on the battleship, such as the fire control system, etc., are not open, and the power cabin is also in a closed state.  Although Sir Fisher and others felt a little regretful, they did not force it.  However, this also deepened their impression of this new warship.  After disembarking, Sir Fisher, like Prime Minister Arthur Balfour, said that with Britain's current technology.  To build such a battlecruiser.  Not a big problem.  and.  In order to break the blockade of Britain's sea lines of communication by China dispatching battlecruisers once war breaks out, Britain must build enough battlecruisers.

    British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour, after listening to Sir Fisher's words, expressed support for his plan.  This made Sir Fisher immediately summon the battleship designers of the Admiralty to start the design and construction of Britain's own battlecruiser, this battlecruiser.  Named the 'Invincible' class battlecruiser, three were built at one time, named 'Invincible', 'Indomitable' and 'Indomitable'.  Later, after rumors spread in China that it would continue to build more powerful battlecruisers, Britain successively started building several classes of battlecruisers. It can be said that China's plan to induce Britain to build battlecruisers was completely successful.

    Portsmouth Military Port is not far from London, on the afternoon of February 15th.  Wang Yuze and Queen Xiong Menghan arrived in London.  Accompanied by British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour, he checked into the State Guesthouse.  Here, the royal families from all over Europe who came to attend Queen Victoria's visit had already arrived.  Including Kaiser Wilhelm II, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and other monarchs of small and medium-sized European countries.  While French President ¨¦mile Fran?ois Loubet said he would come to London next month to attend the coronation ceremony of the new British King Edward VII, the new U.S. presidential candidate, former Navy Secretary Theodore?  Roosevelt arrived first.  1901 was an election year in the United States. Theodore Roosevelt had become the Republican candidate and was preparing to compete for the next U.S. presidential election.  Although the U.S. Navy was defeated by China in the war, under the propaganda of the U.S. government, the U.S. Navy was not only not a coward, but a hero who was not afraid of powerful enemies and fought bravely against powerful countries like China.  This greatly enhanced Theodore Roosevelt's reputation in the United States. Americans who desperately wanted to avenge their shame even regarded Theodore Roosevelt as the hope for the United States to become stronger again. This made Theodore Roosevelt  Roosevelt's chances of winning this presidential election have greatly increased.

    The environment of the British State Guesthouse is very good. It is not far from Buckingham Palace where the British royal family lives. It is a typical European royal garden.  However, due to the fatigue of the long journey, Wang Yuze and his wife had no intention of visiting this place. After entering the room, they took a rest.  Two hours later, I got up in high spirits.  In the evening, the British government held a grand welcome ball for Wang Yuze's arrival. Royal families from various countries who had come to Britain, as well as British nobles, would participate to show their respect for Wang Yuze.  As the controller of the most powerful empire in the East, Wang Yuze is fully qualified!

    The dance was held in the banquet hall of the State Guesthouse.  This banquet hall covers thousands of square meters and can accommodate hundreds of people.  After nightfall, the entire banquet hall was already illuminated by candles as thick as a baby's arm.  Traditional English dance music has been played, and groups of young men and women are dancing.

    Although the death of Queen Victoria is a sad event for the whole of Britain and even Europe.  However, Queen Victoria has lived for more than eighty years, and has been the queen for sixty-four years.??A very long-lived monarch.  Moreover, the British believe that their queen will live happily in heaven.  So the grief passed quickly.

    When the door of the banquet hall opened, the music inside suddenly stopped, and all the young men and women who were dancing also stopped. Everyone stuck their heads and looked towards the door.  Everyone knows that the most distinguished guest tonight is the young emperor from the East. The country he controls has become one of the most powerful countries in the world.

    Wang Yuze appeared at the door wearing a Chinese Army uniform without rank, holding Queen Xiong Menghan in a white evening dress on his arm.  King Edward VII and British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour hurried forward to greet him.

    "His Majesty the Emperor and Queen of China, who have come from afar, welcome you!" Edward VII said with a smile on his face.

    "Thank you very much!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.

    Afterwards, Edward VII took Wang Yuze and Xiong Menghan to the center of the banquet hall, and loudly announced to everyone: "Now, let us use the warmest applause to welcome His Majesty the Emperor of China and His Majesty the Queen from the East!  "

    Thunderous applause immediately erupted in the hall.  Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Yuze and his wife.  A young emperor who was less than thirty years old but had been in charge of a powerful empire for many years could indeed attract everyone's attention.  And Queen Xiong Menghan¡¯s oriental classical beauty¡¯s temperament is even more attractive.  Wang Yuze and his wife have become the focus of the entire banquet.

    "I am very happy to come to the UK. Thank you for your welcome. The death of Queen Victoria is a huge loss for the UK. I hope Her Majesty the Queen can live happily in heaven. I hope Prince Edward can lead the UK to become stronger.  !" Wang Yuze said.  His words received a large round of applause.

    After that, Prince Edward brought Kaiser Wilhelm II, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, and U.S. presidential candidate Theodore  Roosevelt introduced him to Wang Yuze.  Wang Yuze had heard about these people for a long time, but this was the first time he saw them in person.  Everyone shook hands and said hello to Wang Yuze.  Fortunately, Wang Yuze's English was quite passable, and he took the time to practice hard these days before he could communicate with these emperors and kings without any obstacles.

    The dance continued, and the rulers of each powerful country divided into small circles and began to talk.  The interests and conflicts between countries have divided these countries into different camps.  In Europe, the Triple Alliance consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy had been formed.  In order to confront the Three Kingdoms Alliance, especially after being defeated by China in the Far East, Britain had to abandon its glorious and isolated foreign policy and move closer to France.  Russia, which was also defeated by China in the war, became their target.  Originally, there was a great hatred between Britain and Russia. In the Crimean War, Russia was defeated by Britain and France and suffered heavy losses.  However, for the benefit of the country, they can still come together now.  Although Russia was severely weakened by China and lost most of its territory.  But the most elite part of Russia is still under control. Although the rebellion in southern Russia is still continuing, the overall situation has been controlled. It is only a matter of time before Russia wins the final victory of the war.  Russia, with a population of hundreds of millions, will still be a daunting behemoth as long as it has enough support.

    Queen Xiong Menghan and the queens from European countries have already started talking.  Wang Yuze, on the other hand, seemed a little lonely.  At this time, a tall middle-aged man, holding a wine glass in his right hand and his left hand hidden behind his side, walked towards Wang Yuze.  He was Kaiser Wilhelm II. Because he was exposed from his mother's buttocks first when he was born, he suffered from Erb's palsy, which caused his left arm to atrophy. Therefore, Wilhelm II always used to put his left hand when in front of others.  Hide it.  Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that he was somewhat self-prepared, which is why he allowed Germany to challenge Britain in an attempt to prove itself.

    "Your Majesty, Emperor of China, don't you want to dance a song?" Kaiser Wilhelm II said with a smile, his Germanic-style beard tilted slightly upward.

    "His Majesty the Kaiser, I am not used to such occasions!" Wang Yuze replied.

    "Oh! That's not possible! His Majesty the Emperor of China, you are still young, not like old men like us. Now is the time for you to enjoy a good life!" Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

    "His Majesty the Kaiser is joking, how old are you? Now is the prime of life. A powerful Germany is developing rapidly under your leadership. I believe that soon the whole world will tremble!"  Wang Yuze said with a smile.  (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go to read.)
