Although John Bryan Jr. claimed to be the official messenger, this was actually his act of self-reliance - the Far East Squadron of the English East Tianzhu Fleet stationed in Xiangjiang did not receive any specific attack from the mainland at this time.

Order.

However, the situation on the Europa continent is tense, and the squadron did receive an order to strengthen the monitoring of Lucian ships before. Therefore, since Little John, who has a close relationship with the Far East bureaucrats, is willing to go north alone, there is nothing wrong with issuing a letter of authorization, but the separation

Fleet Commander Perot sneered at Little John’s statement:

"The country's Pacific war fleet may attack the Kamchatka Peninsula." What are you dreaming about? You, a businessman, are more informed than me? Impossible.

However, there are rumors that John and his son's fur resources may come from the North Pacific. It is understandable to be panicked about the upcoming war. Besides, Sanjiang Yangxing also involves the interests of some Far Eastern bureaucrats, so a power of attorney is allowed, but Perlo wrote it.

yes:

"This is John Bryan, the righteous businessman, who has been entrusted by the Far East Squadron to go to Kamchatka to investigate the military situation. Please cooperate with the relevant people."

In fact, not to mention that Commander Pero didn't believe it, John Bryan Jr. was also thinking, "Thousands of miles away, the United States sent a message saying that the Pacific War Fleet will definitely attack Kamchatka at the end of August this year." The American company knew that the British

Confidential, this is a lie to fools!

However, with Basari's short-term success ahead of him, he felt that the shareholders of Xianheng Matheson Company were very powerful and might have some secret channels, so Little John went northward with hesitation and hesitation - it would be impossible if he didn't come, because the supply of his own company's goods would be cut off.

It's in someone else's hands.

But he knew that the major shareholders behind Zhixiu and Xianheng Foreign Company were not clear, and they had a special relationship, so he had to discuss it with Zhixiu anyway, "We are so familiar with each other, and we can't watch a good friend like me die thousands of miles away."

Seeing that Little John looked uneasy and hesitant to speak, Naohide quickly called him and the five returning international students to go back to the house - it was a matter of great importance and could not be discussed outside.

Egawa Hidetoshi was like a little tail, following closely, fearing that Naoxiu was hiding something from him.

However, he was not embarrassed. He knew all these people who had returned from overseas. From 1846 to 1849, when Naohide was "disappeared in a shipwreck", Hidetoshi visited Horie Yashiki many times under the instructions of Mr. Tanan, and he visited Hidetoshi Murata, Inako,

Monk Xiunian, Ryoma, and Otome are all familiar with each other. These people also greeted him just now, so Yingmin is not afraid of not being able to understand. We have five interpreters.

When they arrived at the house, Little John couldn't hold himself any longer. He told Naoxiu that he had taken on a cheating mission, and that was what happened.

It was also the first time for Yongmin and others to hear about this, and they were dumbfounded when they heard it. Only Jiangchuan Yingmin didn't know what happened. He grabbed Ryoma and asked, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

His father was a coastal defense official, and the shogunate did not have a strict confidentiality system. When Mr. Tanan was not guiding Yingmin, he told his son a lot of confidential information, so it was not difficult for Yingmin to understand:

It turned out that last year, in June 1853 of the Western calendar, Emperor Nicholas I of Lucia sent troops to the two Danube principalities. In October, the Ottoman Empire declared war on Lucia. However, the Ottomans were soon beaten to a bloody head, and his younger brother was killed.

The eldest brother who was behind the attack suddenly stepped forward, and the war began to escalate.

One of the big brothers is the Kingdom of England, which is the strongest in the world today. It is said that it will send warships to attack Lucia's territory in the North Pacific. The Mi people who were talking to Naohide came here for this purpose.

"I can understand each word individually, but why don't I understand them all together? This idiot wants to bring a merchant ship to fight with another fleet. Is that what he means?"

Ryoma was in awe of Yingmin and quickly nodded in agreement.

"This sea is boundless, how can we connect the two sides?"

"Who are you asking me?" Ryoma cursed and told Yingmin, "Now the teacher and that little John are really discussing this."

It’s not that Little John really wanted to kill someone. His original plan was to take a ship from Xianheng Company to the port of Kamchatka Peninsula and wait there. Anyway, this was a Mi-registered cargo ship, and Lucia was friendly with the Mi people.

Presumably it won't be difficult for him. As for how to cooperate with the English fleet in the future, he can only act according to the opportunity.

At that time, the U.S. major shareholder of Xianheng Company promised him a lot of benefits in a letter. The plan seemed quite reasonable at first glance, and he agreed as soon as his head was hot. But on the way to Kitaezo, Little John realized what he was doing.

Got:

"Although the United States is a neutral country, under normal circumstances Lucians and English warships will not attack American cargo ships, but this is not an ordinary situation! This plan seems to be seamless, but in practice it is much more difficult to operate, and you are very dangerous!"

Little John wants to back down, but Zhixiu is willing to do anything. This will affect the life and death of the White Master in the next few years, so he must continue to implement it.

At any rate, Naoxiu finally got Little John to accept a more secure plan. However, compared to the original plan, the risks taken by the new plan were not small. Therefore, he put forward a condition, that is, after the completion of the matter, Little John must find a way to make it happen.

Miaotun became an open port.

Saving one's own life by generously using others' generosity is a good thing to do, so Little John took care of it, "Don't worry, Zhixiu, it's all right!"

Naoxiu and Little John were haggling happily there, while Egawa Hidetoshi was doubting life:

"What day is it today? It's just secret trade. Next is the overseas students who are prohibited from going overseas, and then Lord Bai will collude with the British to attack Lucia. I just want to know some details, but I really never thought about it.

So many!”

But Naoxiu still didn't let him go and asked him if he wanted to see the big scene.

"If you go, I will go." Young Master Yingmin never loses the battle.

Nao Xiu smiled evilly, "Then let's just say it."

On August 10, 1854, the steam-sail hybrid cargo ship of Hamheng Company sailed to the Kamchatka Peninsula. Naohide and Egawa Hidetoshi traveled pretending to be John Bryan Jr.'s entourage.

On August 29, outside the port of Petropavlovsk, the ship and the others finally blocked the attacking Anglo-French war fleet - everyone was afraid of an accident when it was their turn, Nao Xiu and Little John

They also didn't dare to enter the port, fearing that the Lucian people would brutally commandeer the ships as the war was imminent, so they only dared to stay far away and circle around.

It wasn't until he saw Jack's Union flag that Little John ordered the captain to change the flag. They were all British, so they probably wouldn't fire at the first sight.

Thank God, seeing the ships stopped here and lowering the sails, the combined war fleet did not embarrass them and let the leader of the merchant ship go in a small boat to ask questions.

After seeing the appointment document of the Xiangjiang Squadron, English Admiral Plath was overjoyed. He had no information in his hand, and his eyes darkened. The arrival of Little John was a timely help. At this time, he could not care about the two yellow men on the other side.

The man followed and quickly asked Little John:

"What is the situation in Petropavlovsk?"

In fact, Little John didn't know anything about this place, so he had no choice but to drag Nao Xiu out.

In the past two years, the whaling ships of the Xianheng Company have been operating in the Bering Strait, and they have collected a lot of information privately, which has been handed over to the white master, so Naohide still knows something about Petropavlovsk - here

It was built by Vitus Bering in 1740, and was later officially granted town status in 1812. It is the largest stronghold of the Rusians in Kamchatka. The city was built in

It is on a hill and surrounded by volcanoes, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Naohide was gesticulating on the simple map he took out. Egawa Hidetoshi couldn't understand English, so he had to act incomprehensible.

Seeing that Admiral Yingyi first frowned, and then became furious, his heart trembled up and down. Finally, Naohsiu didn't know what he said, and the other party turned from anger to joy, and he felt relieved.

In fact, Naoxiu said that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so don't be reckless. He, a yellow-skinned person, said this. Of course, he was not popular, and he almost got kicked out on the spot.

However, Zhi Xiu was quick to talk, and he said that he could provide supplies. Little John also patted his chest as a guarantee. Admiral Plass then turned from anger to joy. In fact, what he was most worried about was not intelligence but supplies - the combined war fleet has a total of 7 warships.

, including 3 cruisers, 1 steam cruiser, 1 light cruiser, 1 two-masted schooner and 1 steamboat, it is indeed a behemoth, but the daily consumption is quite large.

"The first batch of supplies is on the ship I brought." Little John made a good repair, proving that Naohide was indeed not lying. But at this time, Admiral Plath finally became interested in Naohide's identity:

"Who is this?"

"The maritime leader of the North Pacific."

Plath understood as soon as she heard it, pirates are pirates, just say it straight, no need to go around in circles!

However, his mission is to attack the North Pacific territory of the Lucians. Whether Naohide is a pirate or not has nothing to do with him. As long as he can help, that's fine.

"What are you discussing? Why don't you quickly enter Avacha Bay?"

The French naval admiral who came after hearing the news was filled with anger. He didn't know that the Englishman was secretly making trouble. Why was he doing this so slowly? He had been chasing a Lucian Aurora from South America for five months.

Peru has been pursuing Kamchatka and has yet to catch up. This is also called a war! There is also "the Royal Navy that spans all over the world and is invincible", bah!

"No wonder you were defeated this time. The internal contradictions are too obvious."

But before Naohide could finish silently complaining, Admiral Franci also turned from anger to joy - Little John and the others did not get on board empty-handed. They brought three baskets of watermelons, which were cut and brought up at this moment. Franci

The Western Admiral couldn't care less about getting angry. He called his men to rush in and start eating.

"Bandit!" Admiral Plath cursed and started to grab it - it would be impossible if he didn't grab it, and it would be gone before his eyes.

I haven't eaten fresh fruit for several months, and now I have a sweet watermelon right in front of me. I don't have to say anything about my style. After all, the French are not polite.

After everyone ate the watermelon, the atmosphere became very good, especially when they thought that there was still a ship of supplies and watermelons. The two admirals smiled happily and let the past grudges go - the supplies belonged to the English merchants, and Admiral France wanted them.

If you want to get a piece of the pie, you won't have to be groveling, but it's always inevitable to say a few soft words.

"Strong Maritime Merchant", after learning that supplies were all provided by Naohsiu, the two admirals gave him the title.

Naoxiu didn't pay much attention to it. These white people "face forward when they are using people and face behind when they are not using them." Believe it or not, after the battle is over, they will turn around and no longer recognize you.

Under Naohide's suggestion, the joint war fleet formulated a plan of "attacking various ports first, and then considering landing operations", preparing to attack the four major ports in Rusia in sequence, namely Petropavlovsk and Okhotsk.

Ke, Ayan and Nikolayevsk - if there were sufficient supplies, the two admirals really didn't take Rusia's navy seriously.
