: 0.086s Scan: 0.030sWhile the German army was frantically preparing for war, in North America, after the combined fleets of the British and the Far East arrived in the Atlantic, the balance of maritime power between the two warring parties began to tilt!
The US military, which received support from friendly forces, not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also successfully reversed the German army and took the initiative in maritime operations!
“Including the British Navy and the Foot Basin Navy, we now have a total of 12 aircraft carriers, 39 battleships and 78 cruisers!”
In North America, at the Norfolk Naval Base, senior naval commanders from the Allied countries gathered together for the first formal military meeting after the combined forces!
This meeting is very critical because it will determine the Allied forces’ next combat strategy against the German army.
As soon as the meeting began, Admiral Jin reported the number of the main battleships of the three navies to cheer up everyone present and boost everyone’s confidence!
“Haha, hundreds of battleships, I really don’t know how they can lose?”
“That’s right, how can you lose when a dragon hits your face?”
“Haha, the strength of our combined fleet is more powerful than the fleet review of the British Navy back then, right?”Everyone looked at Admiral Kan’an Ning, the commander of the British Navy.
Kan’an Ning’s face sank, and he glanced at the instigator of this incident.
This was a not very tall general wearing the uniform of a vice admiral of the Foot Basin Navy. Kan’an Ning vaguely remembered his name, something like Nanyun Chuichi?
Although the Foot Basin Combined Fleet is not the strongest among the three navies, they are not the weakest either!
Because of the heavy losses in the Battle of the North Sea and the Battle of the Mediterranean, the strength of the British Navy has dropped significantly. Although they have sent out all the naval warships that their country can send, they still only have five battleships and one aircraft carrier. Among them, there are two older models of battleships among the five battleships.
Therefore, with the Compared with the Foot Basin Combined Fleet, which has more than a dozen battleships and five aircraft carriers, the Navy of the British Empire seems very shabby. The Foot Basin people are a very realistic nation. They respect the strong, but despise the weak.
When the British Empire was the overlord of the sea and dominated the world, the Foot Basin people looked at them with eyes full of admiration, worshipping them like goddesses like a dog, and followed them behind their asses to learn from their naval development for decades!
It can be said that the naval construction of the Foot Basin people is a complete copy of the development model of the British Empire, and they learned it bit by bit! The Foot Basin people’s attitude towards the British Empire back then can be described as obedient and submissive, and they don’t know how to describe it!
But now?
When the British Empire weakened, the Foot Basin people immediately abandoned them and no longer cared about them. They maintained respect and even began to sneer at them!
That arrogant look, like a nouveau riche mocking aristocrat, full of superiority, made the people of the British Empire feel very uncomfortable!
Originally, the people of the British Empire thought that they had made great contributions to the development of the Foot Basin. They not only helped the other side develop its navy, but also helped the other side with industrialization, and even loaned money to the other side to win the Russo-Japanese War. They thought that with such a favor, even if the British Empire declined, the Foot Basin should not be so bad, right?
However, they didn’t know that the Foot Basin people always treated the weak with this attitude. The British Empire was not the first country to be betrayed by the Foot Basin people. Didn’t the Celestial Empire, which had been the master of the Foot Basin for thousands of years, suffer from the Foot Basin in the blink of an eye? betrayal or even invasion?
In the eyes of the Foot Basin people, countries that are backward and weaker than themselves are inferior nations, their ATMs and sandbags, and they are allowed to bully at will!
Even if this country was once the world hegemon, so what?
When the ancient Celestial Empire dominated the world, the British were still playing in the mud in the fields!
Don’t the Foot Basin people say they will backstab you?
Kan An Ning could not understand the Foot Basin culture, but he had completely lost his good impression of the Foot Basin people.
Hearing what the other party said, Kan An Ning snorted coldly:”The Royal Navy was built according to the standards of the two powers. The world’s second and third navies combined are not the opponents of the Royal Navy. So even if our current strength is very strong, it is still far behind the Royal Navy of the past!”
Of course, this is just flattering himself. The Royal Navy was indeed very strong back then, but that was all in the past. The current British Navy is so destitute and shabby, so in order to prevent the other party from looking down on him, Kan An Ning had to brag about the glorious history of the Royal Navy in the past to show his presence!
Hearing the words of the British Navy, the Foot Basin Man was of course very dissatisfied with this answer, so Nanyun Chuichi snorted coldly and said with a smile:”Really? But it’s a pity that the British Navy has fallen to this point. If Queen Victoria were still alive, she would be so angry to death seeing such a miserable scene!”
“You!”
Veins appeared on Kan An Ning’s face, he was immediately infuriated by the other party’s words!
Don’t hit someone in the face, don’t expose someone’s shortcomings when scolding him!
The rapid decline of the Royal Navy has always been a sore spot for the people of the British Empire. How could they bear being exposed in public like this?
Kan An Ning stood up and stood in front of Nanyun Chuichi. With a cold face, he asked in a cold tone:”Dwarf, what did you say just now? Say it again if you have the guts?”
Nanyun Chuichi is only 1.57 meters tall, and this height is his eternal pain!
Although the foot basin quickly industrialized after the Meiji Restoration, and gradually became stronger, and eventually became a new world power!
However, the family background of the foot basin is far less than that of other powers. In order to develop industry, they imposed super-high levels of taxation on the people, making the people of the foot basin very poor, and many people can’t even have enough food!
In the Russo-Japanese War, the foot basin paid the price of hundreds of thousands of casualties, and also owed a lot of debts, so in the following 20 years, the foot basin has been tightening its belt to repay the loan!
This made the economy of the foot basin worse, and the people Life is even more impoverished!
Because of long-term malnutrition, the average height of the people in Jiaoben is only about 1.58 meters. Even the carefully selected Jiaoben army has an average height of only 1.60 meters.
However, as a senior general in Jiaoben, Nanyun Chuichi’s living standard must be far higher than that of the lower-class people. In this case, his height is less than 1.6 meters, which is outrageous!
So even according to Jiaoben’s own standards, Nanyun Chuichi’s height is short. Therefore, the problem of height has always been Nanyun Chuichi’s fatal weakness!
Kan Anning’s words can be said to have set off a powder keg!
