Damn the Orientals are hiding so deeply!
He obviously dresses like a gentleman!
Warship? What’s so good about a warship!
The Duke of Alves was unhappy. He had seen merchant ships coming and going from the port countless times.
Except that some boats are larger in size and have some strange holes in the hull, they are not much different from ordinary boats.
He has seen a lot of boats, and it's not like he has never seen one that is about the same size as Da Jing's boat.
With the flag waving, the three main warships loaded with artillery in the port have slowly sailed into the distance.
It wasn't until the hull of the ship had become half smaller that it appeared in a straight line and stayed in the distance.
Duke Alves sneered: "What exactly do you want me to see? Is there any point in lining up in a row?"
Lai Gouer gave the Duke a meaningful look and said, "Don't worry, you will understand soon."
After glancing at his pocket watch, Lai Gouer puffed up his chest and said expectantly: "You two, don't blink!"
Hope and the Duke set their sights on the warship at the same time.
After a few breaths, the warships lined up in the distance seemed to flash with fire.
Just when the two of them squinted their eyes to take a closer look.
A dense roar, with vibrations in the air, reached the ears, like thunder rolling from the sky!
Dozens of water pillars rose into the sky a little far away from the port, and it rained heavily on the sea surface!
Before the rain stopped, another roar followed...
Boom!
The entire world was driven into silence by this intensive bombardment!
Da Jing's top warship and most powerful weapon in the world showed its extremely ferocious appearance to the world for the first time!
Until... the seabirds screamed incessantly, and the rolling waves slammed hard on the shore of the port.
A large number of uninformed people fled from the great fear, wailing and escaping into the dark street corners.
"God...miracle..." The contempt in Duke Alves' heart disappeared in an instant.
He stared at the warship in the distance absentmindedly, and the sea breeze carried the water splashed by the artillery and hit his face.
It seemed as if it kept telling him with a hint of coldness.
It’s not fake, this scene is definitely not fake!
Hope was even more unbearable. He was paralyzed and his crotch even felt a little wet.
He is just a businessman. Although he is brave and knowledgeable, he rarely uses real swords and guns.
Now, he suddenly sacrificed a unique weapon that was like a divine punishment from the Holy Father. It was good that he didn't faint.
Two soldiers supported him.
In just a few minutes, two well-informed people felt that their world view had been refreshed at the same time...
When Hope and the Duke came to their senses at the same time, they immediately turned to Lai Gouer with stiff necks.
Lai Gouer was also quite emotional.
After so many years at sea, this was the first time he had seen all the artillery fire.
It's indeed spectacular, but...it just wastes a lot of shells.
But as long as it can shock the two Dukes and allow them to maintain perfect cooperation in the future, it will be worth it.
"You guys send my two guests back first. They should be under good watch. Don't neglect them. I'll be there later." Lai Gou'er explained to the soldiers, then looked at Hope and the two of them, "I still need to adjust the warship. , please wait for me, we still have something to talk about."
He would personally check every artillery operation on the warship to see if there were any unstable factors or new problems.
Now that Dajing's fleet was showing full firepower for the first time, he still wanted to inquire carefully and make some adjustments.
As for Hope and the Duke, they should not have any troubles for the time being...
Resident interior.
Hope and the Duke sat side by side in silence.
Being both hostages, it’s not that I have nothing to say, but that I don’t want to speak.
The shock brought by the scene just now was too strong, and the two of them have not yet digested it.
After a long time, it was Hope who spoke first: "Duke...Brother Lai locked you up, which means you are the real person in charge of Fika, right?"
Duke Alves nodded silently.
"Are you ready to cooperate with him and Da Jing?"
"Presumptuous, I am the most loyal believer of the church, how could I betray the church?" The Duke said weakly, "But you, you damn thing, can draw the interior of the temple...it means you have connections in the upper echelons, you How dare you apostatize! I will expose you as a shameful apostate."
Hope shook his head: "I'm not apostate, how do you know whether the pictures I drew are true or false?"
"I'm just flattering and looking for an opportunity to escape later. I, Hope, have been traveling all over the country for so many years. I haven't seen any people or scenes...am I afraid of his threats?"
"Then why are your crotch wet?"
"This time it doesn't count..."
Hope lifted up his robe to cover his crotch, and said bitterly: "Duke, in your opinion, which one is more powerful, the warships of Da Jing or the warships of Hero?"
Duke Alves' eyes twitched and he gritted his teeth and said, "Have you never been on a boat? Ask me such a stupid question!"
"This is not a power that humans can control! Damn it...hell, the Pope's actions won't bring about divine punishment, right?"
"What the hell he can summon! What a useless snack!" Hope yelled angrily, then stood up and walked to the desk.
"How dare you scold the Pope! What are you doing?" Duke Alves was shocked.
Hope slapped the table angrily: "My damn drawing is wrong, please change it! Why did I scold that old bastard Pope!"
"Fuck! This old guy will be killed by the Dajing people sooner or later. Let's be ready to face a more ruthless robber then!"
Duke Alves covered his face in pain.
The Oriental... the great scene, he can't see through it at all now. In the past, he always thought that the other party was just an ordinary powerful country.
Who knew I could play such a skill now...
The current situation is a dilemma. If you agree to the Dajing people, it will be apostasy.
If he doesn't agree, even if Lai Gou'er puts him back, he won't be able to stop Da Jing's fleet.
After that, Fika will be the first country to usher in a great revenge.
In line with the great scenery, we are facing an unpredictable and dangerous future. The situation is already showing signs of danger. If the money grab is more ruthless than the church...
What should I do...it seems like there is nothing I can do except cooperate...
The silence in the room was suddenly broken.
Lai Gou'er pushed the door open and looked at the two of them with a smile: "You two, you have finished watching the good show I asked you to watch. Are you still satisfied?"
"What happened to your ship...why did it thunder?" the Duke asked cautiously.
"Thunder, that's not thunder! It's one of my weapons in Da Jing, called a cannon." Lai Gou'er slowly preached, "The church likes to talk about the word truth most, and it can judge anyone with the truth. Now, Er Gou'er Do you think the truth of the church is more powerful, or the cannon of our great vision?”
Hope and Duke's faces twitched at the same time, and the next moment they spoke at the same time.
"The picture of the structure of the temple is ready. There was a small mistake just now. I have corrected it."
"Just tell me what to do..."
.......
There was a lively discussion in the court hall.
"Everyone, I would like to ask, if the truth is only within the range of the cannon. Then when the citizens of a weak country are burned, killed, robbed, raped and plundered, do they have the right to complain and talk about revenge? Logically speaking There shouldn't be, after all, the 'truth' is in the hands of the perpetrator." Fang Zheng talked eloquently with his hands behind his back.
"I don't think anyone will agree with me, because we are not beasts. Otherwise, how can justice, morality, and natural justice exist?"
"It is gratifying to be able to intimidate Fika and station troops in his country, but don't be carried away by the temporary victory. Violence is always easy to use, but it cannot last long, so I suggest that everyone should discuss it calmly."
