The three warships, the first one is the Wave Crusher captured by Xiang Ying and them, and now after simple repairs, it has become the flagship of the Ryukyu Navy, and the remaining two are the flying clippers that broke through together, which can be regarded as meritorious battleships.

The three battleships were inferior to the towering Glory in terms of tonnage, volume, and number of guns, and even inferior frigates, but the pride of the three battleships from the inside out could be smelled by the sea breeze.

Three dwarf warships cruised back and forth around six massive European warships, looking from afar like three hounds guarding a herd of grazing buffalo.

Although the buffalo is huge, its murderous aura is far inferior to that of a short hunting dog.

General Bruce was helpless, and in the past few days, he kept sending flags to those merchant ships flying European flags, expressing his willingness to buy water, food and other supplies.

And all the good-natured responses of European merchant ships were dispersed by these three hunters, and under the threat of the Chinese crew, all European merchant ships did not dare to approach them.

"Shame... It's a shame for the whole of Europe, a pride for us, a glory for us, a high race, a ...... for these yellow-skinned monkeys to be bullied."

Rear Admiral Bruce spun around on the deck like a sleepy tiger, but Ying and his sailors were not half there, on the contrary, the captains of the ships under his command, and the staff adjutants, all persuaded him in unison.

"Retreat, it's useless for us to stay here, we can retreat to Shanghai or Hong Kong, at least there is a sheltered harbor, and we won't even have to work so ......hard to replenish supplies," the people persuaded one after another.

At this time, a captain who had just returned from Shanghai said with a gloomy face: "Your Excellency, Shanghai is not safe for us, I just came from Shanghai, and now there have been many 'accidents' in the French Concession, and many merchants' warehouses have caught fire inexplicably, and our agents can't catch the arson......ists at all."

"Hey...... Thinking on my heels, I can guess who is setting the fire, they are threatening the merchants of various countries in Shanghai...... But their threats were effective, and I came into contact with many European businessmen during the procurement period, and few of them were willing to give us financial support..."

"Ouch......" Bruce sighed, "this is the fate of the losers, if we are the victors now, I'm afraid they won't be like this, but is Hong Kong really safe? Don't look at the ridiculous faces of the British..."

Just as there was a quarrel on the deck, the lookout at the top of the Glory suddenly shouted "Southern...... A fleet of ships is coming due south...... Among them were British battleships, which were the basic ...... of frigates"

"What? The British frigates are coming? What are they trying to do? Do you remember the scene six years ago, and the British are going to intervene?"

The faces of the officers on the deck were suddenly full of hope, the British battleships drove so blatantly, eighty percent of them were supporting the French army, and maybe six years later, there would be another Anglo-French alliance into the Ryukyus.

But hope came and went quickly, and as the fleet got closer, the lookout suddenly exclaimed, "Oh God, the ship in the middle of the fleet is flying the 'Xiao' flag... One of the ships on the left and right arches was Prussian, and the other was an American ......"

"Oh, damn the British, this is a betrayal, a shameless betrayal, did they actually use Xiao Letian as a watchdog?"

That's right, this belated fleet was Xiao Lotian who had arrived from the Lion City, and on the ninth day after the end of the war, Xiao Lotian finally returned, and Naha finally looked forward to their master.

Almost at the same time, there was a burst of cheers on the Wave Crusher, melodious conch horns resounded throughout the bay, and the horns on Nanshan, Zhongshan, and Qixing Mountain sounded at the same time, and the entire Naha Bay was silent, and the merchants of the countries who had just arrived thought that the war was about to start again.

"Are the French going to war again? Are they coming with reinforcements? God, I can't get rid of my greed...... Anchor quickly, let's get out of here......"

There was a lot of chaos on the wharf, and even some foreign merchants didn't even want the balance of the goods, and getting on the ship was like running away. But the tsunami-like cheers that followed stopped them.

"Woooooooooo......oo Prime minister...... Woowoo...... Prime Minister ......" The whole city of Naha began to cry, and people chanted the Prime Minister's name and began to pour towards the docks.

There was no idea where the source of this wave of sound was, and the people in the whirlpool only felt that there was a wave of shouts in all directions, and the whole city had gone crazy.

"The Prime Minister is back...... The expeditionary force has returned...... If the prime minister is here, the Ryukyus will not sink...... Prime Minister..."

The crowd formed a torrent of parades, and there were countless wooden signs in the crowd with pictures of the prime minister's victories in the Europa.

When the alfon brought back to Naha the most detailed volumes of European newspapers and the Lion City translation, King Shang Tai and Fan Kao decided to print and distribute them in large quantities, and this kind of victory report was the best way to appease the people after the bloody battle.

During these nine days, all kinds of victory leaflets were plastered all over the streets and alleys, especially the spontaneously formed shrines dedicated to Xiao Lotian, which were the gathering places of such leaflets, and every day there were volunteer college student preachers to explain to the illiterate people.

By the middle of the nineteenth century, the Europeans had already formed an inherent impression of global strength, and the backward nations did not even dare to imagine that one day they would be able to defeat these Western bandits, and that a draw would be a matter of national celebration.

In such a gloomy era, Xiao Letian's victory is tantamount to a ray of sunshine through the clouds, and it is impossible not to let the people watch.

Tens of millions of people shed tears, holding signs high and began to march all over the city, the wharf was no longer crowded, people went to the mountain, and finally all the places that could overlook the wharf on Zhongshan, Nanshan, and Qixing Mountain were full of people.

At that moment, there was only one voice in heaven and earth, "Prime Minister...... Prime minister...... Prime Minister ......"

Xiao Letian on the sea had already heard the shout accompanied by the sound of the wind, he had already changed into a military uniform and stood at the bow of the ship, behind him was the officer corps as neat as a tofu block, the voyage across the earth had turned them into excellent sailors, no matter how the ship was bumpy, their feet stood there as if they had taken root.

Even Xiao Hexin, who was injured in the leg, insisted on standing there on crutches, and no matter who persuaded him, he would not listen: "I left Ryukyu standing up, and I will come back standing too...... Lao Tzu is not a cripple, so he doesn't need your special care..."Xiao Hexin's eyes were rosy in the roar.

Xiao Lotian's appearance caused a riot in the French fleet, and the flagship Glorious even adjusted the hull angle as if to launch an attack. Seeing that the momentum was not good, the Wave Breaker and the other two battleships quickly adjusted their hull posture and inserted it diagonally, blocking the Prime Minister and the French fleet.

"All French battleships stepped back...... This is not a warning, this is an order...... Go back, go back immediately......" The Wavebreaker cursed, and the standard-bearer kept sending the strongly worded order.

"Inform the Port of Naha...... Notify Shuri Fort...... Be ready for battle, and if the French battleships dare to make any changes, they will be blown up and sunk immediately......"

One murderous order after another was passed on, all in plain flags, and the French saw it clearly, and it was only then that the French calmed down.

On board the Glory, General Bruce was surrounded by a group of high-ranking officers, and people were talking bitterly to "General, don't, please calm down...... The British have already escorted Xiao Letian, and we have no chance to start......"

Bruce lunged forward like a red-eyed dog, "God, this is the criminal, the one who insulted France... I'm going to avenge the cavalry battalion...... I'm going to avenge the expeditionary force...... I'm going to take revenge on the envoy...... I want to avenge His Majesty the Emperor..."

"Don't stop me, reload...... Blow up Xiao Lotian ..."Bruce roared on the deck like a vicious dog, and the countless soldiers next to him looked stupid, they had never seen such hysteria from a major general.

"The Shogun is drunk...... Everyone went back to their posts and was not allowed to fire without an order...... Everyone stepped back and stopped making a threatening move...... French warships will not fire at the Ryukyu Prime Minister...... That's the flag, buy it and send it out......"

The two adjutants walked to the single cabin with Bruce on their left and right, and whispered as they went, "Okay, General, your cousin, all the sailors have seen it, and your cousin, His Majesty the Emperor, can see it...... You can rest now..."

Obediently, I've been doing it for a long time, Bruce is acting... In order to prove to Napoleon III that he was still useful and a fierce hunting dog, Bruce had to put on such a scene in front of all the sailors.

A failed general, if he can prove his loyalty to the emperor, then it will be an easy thing to make a comeback, isn't there a philosopher who once said.

"The dog guarding the door always barks at the guest, and even if the dog is familiar with the guest, even if his tail wags when he barks, the barking of this routine cannot be avoided. Because this is how the dog always has to prove his loyalty to his master, that he is still useful, so as to avoid the consequences of being cooked......"

Now Bruce is the vicious dog who wants to prove himself, and Xiao Lotian is the villain who shocked the whole of Europe.

The brave actions of the Wave Breaker and the other two ships were praised by the two British warships, and the British Navy of this era pursued the spirit of a reef, no matter how violent the waves were, they had to bravely crush him, even if they were both killed.

"With such a weak navy and such a strong fighting spirit, the navy of the Ryukyus should not be underestimated in time...... Well, I'm going to record it in my nautical diary and pass it on to London......"

Thinking of this, the British captain straightened out the spotless white gloves on his hands, and proudly ordered "the battleship to cut into the formation of the French army, and announce to them the order of Napoleon III's retreat...... Sending a flag to tell them that order in the Ryukyu waters will now be in the hands of the Royal Navy of the British Empire......"

Crazy, really fucking crazy, Xiao Letian watched the two British frigates rush in by grazing the side of the French ship, and almost collided with each other, and the two British frigates split the entire French battleship in two like cutting dead snakes.

Note: I wish you all a happy Juneteenth... At the beginning of the month, I begged for a monthly pass and a subscription...... It's so embarrassing to run naked, and the brothers and sisters are so good to wear a pair of pants...
