"Haha! What does the British mean? Do they show off their force to us? However, as many as 24 steam warships are really capable of showing off their force... No country in Europe can compete with them!" Looking at the flag verbs of the British fleet, Long Yufei laughed. He originally thought that the British really had the courage to go to war with the Chinese fleet! Even if they were fighting for the risk of a full-scale war with the Chinese Empire, they would have to severely damage or even annihilate the Chinese fleet! In this way, they could severely damage the Chinese navy. If he could be killed or captured as an emperor, it would be even more beneficial to Britain. After all, the entire empire was established by Long Yufei. Once Long Yufei was gone, the development of the Chinese Empire would definitely be greatly affected when the crown prince was still young. Maybe it would collapse.

Of course, Long Yufei is not that easy to kill. Once the British really decide to start a war, the fleet's first task is to escort Long Yufei away. With the maximum speed of 16 knots of the "Western Zhou-class" warship, the British may not be able to catch up. Once Long Yufei escapes back to China, Britain will have to bear full revenge. India and other colonies close to China will definitely be attacked by China first. At that time, the Chinese Empire and Britain will fall into a huge crisis. The British probably are also concerned about these things, so they dare not take risks.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the British just want to scare us, and they don't have the courage to go to war with us." Major General Lu Haipeng, commander of the 5th Fleet, said. This was really a false alarm. He was already ready to fight. Once the British really dared to launch an attack, he would order the remaining warships to entangle the British fleet, and the warship "Wenwang" would immediately withdraw from the battlefield. This is not to escape, but to give priority to protecting the safety of the imperial emperor Long Yufei. Everything else is secondary.

"Well! Pay tribute to the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom!" Long Yufei said. Since the British have already paid tribute to him, no matter whether it is true or false, he cannot without a response! After all, the Royal Navy has made an indelible contribution to the reason why Britain can become the overlord of the world. Such a navy is undoubtedly great, and there are many places worth learning from by the Chinese Navy. Although they are enemies and opponents, they are also respectable.

"Yes, your majesty!" Major General Lu Haipeng nodded. Although he looked down on the defeated British Navy, he had to admit that the British Navy is indeed the biggest opponent of the Chinese Navy. The reason why the Chinese Navy can defeat the British Navy is largely due to the performance of warships. If the performance of warships on both sides is similar, the Chinese Navy will definitely fail in the end. Compared with the British Royal Navy, which has developed to the peak, the Chinese Navy is just like a toddler. It has to continue to grow to truly challenge the British.

When the Chinese fleet used flag language to pay tribute to the Royal Navy, both sides had already lifted the alarm. At a distance of about ten kilometers, the two fleets passed by. Although they were destined to be opponents, they also felt a little sympathetic.

The Chinese fleet continued to sail towards Le Havre, while the British fleet returned to the naval base in Portsmouth. It was the home port of the British Navy and the base of the local fleet. In the future, the Chinese Navy may one day be able to come there and trample the British Navy.

Le Havre, located at the mouth of the Seine River, is an important port in western France. King Louis Philip I of the Kingdom of France, who is 73 years old, has been waiting here with the 76-year-old Prime Minister of the Government, the Duke of Dalmatia. Tomorrow is the day when the Chinese emperor arrives in France and begins an official visit to France. King Louis Philip I and the French government attach great importance to the visit of the Chinese emperor.

Although Louis Philip I was the king of the Kingdom of France, he did not have much power. Because his throne was not obtained from inheritance, but was elected by the nobles.

The son of Louis Philip, Duke of Orleans, was originally called Duke of Valois. After his father inherited the title of Duke of Orleans in 1785, he became Duke of Chartel. In 1789, the French Revolution broke out. He joined the progressive aristocratic group supporting the revolutionary government, and the following year he joined the Jacobin Club. In April 1792, he joined the Northern Front Army and was promoted to major general in September of the same year. In April 1793, he joined the Austrian army with Du Murier, the commander of the Northern Front Army, and went to Switzerland to take refuge. In November of the same year, his father was executed by Jacobin. He lived in the United States for more than two years and then decided to return to Europe. He arrived in England in early 1800 and lived in England for a long time. In 1809, he went to Sicily to marry Mary Amari, the daughter of the King of Naples, and had ten children.

After Napoleon became the French emperor, Louis Philippe, as a branch of the Bourbon royal family, took refuge in Britain and did not dare to return to France. It was not until Napoleon was defeated by Britain and several other European countries that the Bourbon royal family was restored. He was able to return from Britain to France and became one of the important nobles of France in the name of the Duke of Orleans.

In 1830, Charles X tried to implement the repressive decree, triggering the French July Revolution in 1830. On July 31, the Legislative Assembly elected him as the regent of the Kingdom. Two days later, Charles abdicated, and on August 9, Louis Philippe was crowned King of France. In order to consolidate his power, Louis Philippe I adopted a middle-line between the extreme right-wing monarchs, the Socialists and other Republicans. However, this did not make him match the world, but instead made both sides dissatisfied with him. Now Louis Philippe I's rule is almost in a storm.

Before visiting Europe, the imperial emperor Long Yufei also learned in detail about the current political situation in France. In France, it is divided into Orleans, Orthodox, Republicans and Bonaparte. Although the Orleans is the ruling faction, it is the weakest faction. The current king Louis Philippe was originally the Duke of Orleans, the branch of the Bourbon dynasty, and was not qualified to inherit the French throne. Such a thing may not be a big deal in China, but it is not a small matter in Europe. Because the Duke of Orleans ascended the throne,

The French royal party was divided into two parts, most of them supported the orthodox of the Bourbon dynasty, and only a small number supported the Duke of Orleans. In this way, Louis Philippe did not have enough power to maintain his throne, so he could only rely on the power of the bourgeoisie and Bonapartisans. The former was mainly financial capitalists, and now the French government was maintaining its operation with their financial resources. The latter was the officer left by Emperor Napoleon. At present, the military power of the Orleans dynasty was actually controlled by generals who were inclined to the Bonaparte dynasty!

Another thing Long Yufei visited France this time was that he hoped to meet with France's future president, that is, the emperor of the Second French Empire, Charles Bonaparte. Compared with the already elderly Louis Philip I, Charles Bonaparte was the future ruler of France. Even though Charles Bonaparte could not compare to his uncle Napoleon, he was also a talented person. Although the Chinese Empire was becoming more and more powerful, it was definitely not an opponent of a unified Europe. This made the Chinese Empire have to have an ally in Europe. Although the Spanish Kingdom was the spokesperson of the Chinese Empire, the Spanish Kingdom

The strength is too weak. The strong France is the best candidate. Of course, Long Yufei also believes that if the Chinese Empire is willing to support Charles Bonaparte, he will definitely get what he wants. Of course, this is just that the two sides are using each other. Charles Bonaparte, as a heroic figure, cannot completely believe it. Long Yufei just hopes to use Charles Bonaparte and the France he ruled to buy time for the Chinese Empire. When the Chinese Empire completes unification and industrialization, even if the whole of Europe unites, it may not be able to defeat the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, this time Long Yufei visited France, the most important thing was to meet Charles Bonaparte. The French King Louis Philip I seemed a little embarrassed. Although Louis Philip I also wanted to use the power of the Chinese Empire to stabilize his rule, the focus of the Chinese Empire was obviously not on him.

"Your Majesty, I just received the news that the British sent a fleet to intercept the Chinese fleet." The French Foreign Minister Duke Seguel hurriedly walked into Louis Philip I's palace in Le Havre and reported to Louis Philip I.

"What? What the British want to do? The Chinese emperor was a guest of the Kingdom of France. Are they not afraid of causing war between our two countries?" Louis Philip I roared angrily. Although he had taken refuge in Britain for many years, after returning to France, the king's attitude towards Britain changed fundamentally and began to hate France.

"Your Majesty, the British are not so bold, right?" said the Prime Minister Duke Dalmatia. France is not the opponent of Britain now. Therefore, even if a war breaks out, France will probably not win.

"Your Majesty, the British just want to show off their force. They dare not start a war against the Chinese Empire!" Duke Seguel continued.

"Damn British! Order our fleet to set off to welcome the Chinese emperor. If the British really want to start a war, the French Navy will fight with the Chinese Navy!" Louis Philip I ordered.

The French Navy is not weak either. They bought 6 "Summer-class" cruisers from China, and then imitated 12 new warships based on the "Summer-class" cruisers. This gave the French Navy a strong strength second only to the British Navy! (To be continued...)
