The huge British homegrown fleet and the avant-garde successfully converged together, the commander of the British home fleet, Jericho, also boarded the avant-garde battleship.

On the deck of the avant-garde, Jericho also saw the Red Guards sailors drinking coffee and eating bread and cheese.

Jericho saw that these red police sailors, who were still very gentlemanly and elegantly ate things under the mouth of the British sailors, some accident, some curiosity.

As reported directly by Gerrard, these sailors looked and were Asian in color, and each of them was very spiritual, and he could not see any loss and no panic at the muzzle of his gun.

Jericho didn’t ask anything, and if it were true, as these sailors had said, someone would soon meet them, and their own curiosity would always satisfy.

Gerald was about to greet Jericho to his lounge to take a break, and on the mast of the avant-garde the British sailors spotted a group of warships coming in the distance.

The telescope was sent to the hands of two British generals, and the distant fleet appeared in their eyes, and at the same time as seeing the fleet, the two put down their telescopes for the first time, looking at each other, and the eyes could clearly read the look of wonder.

The fleet that came in the distance was a small fleet, but not a small one.

It is not small to mean that the fleet has a large number of ships, not much that this fleet has only one combat ship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, and the rest are all small warships, and the ship does not see a giant gun that can threaten the British Royal Navy.

Nearly two-tenth warships, three-quarters of the battleships are about two thousand tons of sea basts, in the battleship era, this destroyer basically has no combat capability against the ship, the gun above is also small caliber, and compared with the artillery of the countries in this class of warships, the eyes of these warships, although the number of artillery, but the caliber is very small, the largest one is a double-packed 105 mm main gun.

In addition, the first class of warships, with a displacement of nearly 5,000 tons, is equipped with three three-packed main guns, but the caliber of only 155 mm, a variety of secondary guns, can not find a hundred millimeters or more, the only thing worth noting is that these small-caliber secondary guns, are multi-linked together, and even there are six-packed dense fire system.

The largest cruiser, the shape is even more peculiar, it seems that the displacement should be 15,000 tons, the length of more than a hundred meters, the bow position has two triple 280 mm main guns, the backpack turret looks very trendy, there are a large number of secondary guns, but behind the bridge, it is a large flat deck, smooth and flat deck, sprayed with four cross-shaped symbols.

At the flat deck near the bridge, there is also a cabin that should be able to hold some large items.

The other's warships, two experienced British generals, felt extremely strange.

Completely different from the shape of the warship in this era, fresh.

The flag flying by the other side has never been seen, and it is obvious that it is not a warship of various countries at all, and countries will not design such warships.

In terms of firepower, such a warship cannot achieve any advantage in the navies of various countries, let alone victory.

The fleet approached step by step with the signal light, and the British home fleet also responded to the signal light, allowing it to be close.

At this time, the people on the British mainland fleet also clearly saw that on the other side of the warships, one by one, the sailors in white and regular clothes, began to line up on the deck and stood neatly on both sides of the ship's ship.

The neat queue, arranged around the deck of the battleship, let the British sailors have a bright eye, this move is not only a friendly move, but also can feel the other sailors stand upright.

If combined with the slow flags raised on each warship, the colorful flags flying on the warship are more like a kind of greeting etiquette.

"Commander, they seem to be saying hello to us."Gerald said to Jericho.

"It seems that people are really not malicious to us, very gentlemanly."Jericho said.

When the two warships were only 100 meters apart, the Navy's first anti-submarine formation also stopped to prevent the warships from approaching and colliding.

At the same time, the ship also put down a small speedboat, the British sailors on the avant-garde, can clearly see that many officers of the other side, in this small boat, approached the avant-garde.

A few minutes later, the dinghy slowly approached the edge of the avant-garde, and the garrison was lowered, and the officers climbed up the deck of the avant-garde in turn.

Jericho sorted out his uniform and introduced himself: “Jericho, Commander of the Royal Navy’s Home Fleet.”

A young man in the crowd stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Cold, commander of the first anti-submarine formation."

The two sides then introduced the officers of both sides, and then the dialogue went directly to the subject.

“General Han, can you explain your detailed identity?”With all due respect, the ancient empire of the East could not have a navy like yours."Jericho asked very directly.

“General Jericho, for our specific identity, I have no right to speak directly.”He shook his head and said.

Jericho's face was a little unhappy, and without waiting for him to open his mouth, he continued, "But with regard to our identity, I believe that His Majesty the King of England will also inform General Jericho in the future, and we will not be able to say anything else."

"But our king does not know your identity, for he is more curious than anyone, your mysterious navy."Jericho said.

“In fact, our High Command will meet the King of your country in two hours, and our High Chief will also have a title in England.”

Jericho heard the words, narrowed his eyes, and said, “Count Fan Yize?”

He nodded softly and said, "Yes, he is our supreme leader."

"A few months ago I had a relationship with Mr. Fan, who had contact with my English king's banquet, when we were very curious, whether a Chinese person would be made a count by England, or hereditary, it was really inexplicable.But now the count, it seems, really mysterious."

Jericho's inner guard was put down a lot, anyway, he was also an English nobleman, and his relationship with King George V seemed very good, and in this regard, the other party did have more friends than the identity of the enemy.

Jerry Cotton went on and asked, “But what makes me wonder is who you’re fighting with?”
