Everyone on the Zhiyuan is ready to break the jade...wait! It seems that there are still a group of people who are not ready. The most chaotic place on the Zhiyuan at the moment is not the combat units, but the kitchen. net
This European state visit by Emperor Tongzhi and Xiao Letian was extremely large-scale, and it was not only a political visit, but also a grand cultural exchange.
Xiao Letian brought many famous Asian chefs, including major Chinese cuisines, and even national masters of Fuso cuisine and Southeast Asian specialty chefs. There are more than fifty people in total.
It stands to reason that they should not be permanently stationed on a combat unit like the Zhiyuan. They should ride on a supply ship like other non-combatants, but people have to eat every day, let alone the British, so these As an exception, the famous chef is permanently stationed on the Zhiyuan.
They were not formally trained naval soldiers. When the order to rush was given, the formal kitchen was in chaos.
"Quick, quick, quick... put all the knives away immediately... What a careless person! After a while, the impact happened, and the ones that didn't fly were everywhere? Lock them up quickly..."
"Porcelain, hurry up and protect the porcelain... Ancestors, that's from the Xuande kiln, lock it in a straw box... Be careful, it's Chenghua porcelain! If a piece is broken, you can't even pay for it with your life!"
The noisy kitchen was the most disharmonious place on the Zhiyuan. When these chefs, who had not been trained as warriors, encountered a life-or-death crisis, common people's habits came to mind again, and some even started to curse.
Holding the stainless steel table, the famous Shandong cuisine chef cried loudly, "My ancestors! What evil have I done! Why am I greedy for this little money? If I lose my life here, I will die in a foreign land... …”
The master from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who was hiding his body in the cabinet also cursed, "What kind of war are we fighting? Why are we fighting! The foreigners can just stop the boat when they are told to stop, why do they have to bump into it? Isn't this just not fun... …”
"Uuuuuuuuah...Mom! I don't want to die here, please let me go home..." As he spoke, the famous Cantonese cuisine expert had an emotional breakdown, and at the most dangerous moment, he actually wanted to rush out.
Suddenly, a kitchen knife rolled and flew out, grazing his nose and chopping it on the chopping board. He was so frightened that his crotch became hot and he peed immediately.
"Whoever dares to cause trouble at this time, I, Liu Dadao, will chop him to death! Unruly people like you, if you don't come out of the palace for three days, you will... die!"
A big black man walked past the frightened Cantonese chef and pulled out the large kitchen knife on the chopping board. Just like a tiger inspecting its territory, Liu Dadao calmed all the chefs present.
"Damn it, Yuan is the emperor's master, the teacher of Lord Long Live! Even Lord Long Live respects you, how dare you say nonsense? Grandma... try saying it again!"
"Listen to me. Everyone pack your things and tie yourself to the cabin. The tables are fixed to the ground. Once they are tied, you will be safe..."
It worked so well that Liu Dadao scolded all the cooks present and no one dared to make a mistake. Everyone was afraid of Liu Dadao not only because of his good skills, but also because of his special status. This guy was the imperial chef transferred from the imperial kitchen of the Forbidden City by Emperor Tongzhi's order before the trip.
Being able to enter the palace to serve the Emperor and the Queen Mother shows that Liu Dadao's craftsmanship is superb. Coupled with his violent temper, he can naturally calm the headless flies present, and soon there is a dead silence in the kitchen.
Liu Dadao held the black iron kitchen knife in his hand and looked close to the only porthole in the kitchen towards the command cabin. He secretly said in his heart, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Don't let anything happen to you. I will guard you and protect you! I will protect you for a while." If a foreign devil dares to approach you, I, Liu Dadao, will fight to the death with him!"
But now Zai Chun didn't know that there was a loyal slave of his guarding him in the corner. He clenched his fists and stared at the approaching French warship in front of him with eyes wide open.
"Go up, go up... go up! Hit us! Revenge, today is considered revenge..."
"I will go up to kill the enemy soon. If the damn big nose dares to board the ship, I will kill people..."
Da Sixi next to him was so frightened that he almost cried. When the emperor was not paying attention, he secretly tied Zai Chun's waist with his belt and tied one end to the handle of the cabin door.
"Master! Stop saying such scary things, I'm scared... Don't come forward, be careful of the dragon body!"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up! What do you know, you little dog slave... If you want to boost morale, you have to lead by example. I am learning from my master!"
No one cared about what happened in the kitchen, and no one cared about what the little emperor and the eunuch were arguing about. At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the French battleship that was becoming clearer and clearer in front of them.
Xiao Letian's eyes narrowed in excitement. At this moment, the distance between the two warships was less than fifty meters. There was no longer any force that could stop the collision. The water had covered it and it would be difficult to recover it!
Click...boom...like a muffled thunder out of thin air, the two battleships collided with each other with unparalleled destructive power.
At that moment, countless people's shocked pupils temporarily contracted, and some even subconsciously closed their eyes and did not dare to look at the scene in front of them. However, when they opened their eyes again, the incredible scene in front of them completely shocked them.
The Zhiyuan has cut into pieces the Maranta battleship like a sharp knife, cutting it into a full five meters. The rolling canal water poured in. If it weren't for the partition of the watertight cabin, the entire Maranta battleship would have been destroyed. submerged in water.
The huge impact overturned countless officers and sailors. Xiao Letian was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Zai Chun was better off because Da Sixi's belt was tied up and there was nothing serious. Look at the others hitting the glass one by one. The rolling door frame hit the glass, and the impact and reaction force overturned countless people.
"Look at Yuan...we succeeded! It crashed...hahaha!" There was a sudden cheer in the command module and the deck, but on the contrary were the horrified looks of everyone on the Maranta.
Captain Jean-Arnault smashed the glass in front of him with his head, and suffered a large puncture on his forehead. Blood covered his eyes like a curtain, and the whole world was blood red.
His most cherished battleship, at this moment, turned into a little girl who was being bullied. The Zhiyuan in front of him was like a savage gangster, and the entire ship intervened.
The Maranta is crying, the Maranta is bleeding!
"How could this happen? Why did this happen? We are the latest battleship with 4,000 horsepower! This is the crystallization of France's strong industrial strength. Why did we lose!"
No one could answer the captain's roar. The only thing that could answer him was the reality in front of him. After the impact, the Maranta was in a state of complete chaos. The sailor on the sail fell like a dumpling, and the screams were endless, and even Others had their feet tangled in ropes and fell to the ground, swinging back and forth in the air.
The sailors on the deck rolled down into a ball, and their heads were bruised and bloody. There were countless sailors in the cabin who were swallowed up by the influx of seawater. There was a chaos in the artillery firing cabin. All the unfixed objects rolled around and injured several people. Unclear soldiers.
"Oh God! The enemy's warships are too powerful... Organize sailors to counterattack! Counterattack immediately..."
