Chapter 1250 The future of the Anglo-Saxons (first update, please subscribe)
Author: Xiaoyu’s Destiny
Strong sunlight shines into the room through the glass window, and the strong yellow light cuts through the darkness in the room. There is some dust floating in the light. Those dust that are usually invisible are the most real reactions in the world.
Lawrence, who was lying on the bed, watched for a long time as the light slowly moved in the room, almost imperceptibly but at the same time irresistibly. Finally, it moved to Holm's legs. Looking at his legs, looking at his body, Lawrence's eyes
It is full of love, this is his lover, his lover, his everything... I am going to take Yuwen out right away.
His eyes passed over his body, then his hands, and then he couldn't help himself and kissed him.
…
When everything was over, looking at Dahom who was sweating profusely, Lawrence's eyes were full of love and affection. He stood up from the large bed without haste. He was feebly enjoying this peaceful life. He needed
Work - In the past few years, he and the intelligence agency he organized have successfully penetrated into the Ming Empire.
"Only a little bit..."
Smiling slightly, Lawrence's tone was full of helplessness, and time was passing by.
But his mood seemed a little heavy.
Half an hour later, Lawrence walked into the office with only one window on the third floor of the British Embassy and locked the door. He opened the letter he had just received, preparing to get some information from the letter.
Secrecy is the first element of intelligence work. Locking a door and collecting the required information from the collected intelligence is a reliable method that he believes in.
At this time, Lawrence, as usual, was wearing ordinary clothes. If he were in London, he might have worn a well-made officer's uniform with the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulders, but here, he always wore casual clothes. He
Choosing this career that combines the triple identities of soldier, diplomat and spy is driven by two motives: one is clear patriotism, and the other is vague, for...
For what?
Maybe it’s the excitement of this profession!
A few hours later, in an outdoor cafe on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, Lawrence looked at Perkins in front of him. His eyes were red, and he obviously hadn't slept well either.
"Want to smoke?"
Perkins asked,
"No!"
Shaking his head, Lawrence refused.
"I want to know what you think!"
"Is it a Dreadnought?"
Lawrence knew why he didn't sleep well. Now all the naval attachés and intelligence personnel in Zhongdu couldn't sleep well, because the "dreadnought ship" created by the Ming Empire shocked all countries overnight, and even eliminated the ships of other countries.
warship.
"Why do you think we didn't have any news before this?"
Perkins asked.
"Because the Ming Empire has been doing everything possible to conceal it from the beginning. Even until it was launched, we didn't know it was a battleship."
Lawrence said directly and decisively.
"In the Ming Empire, all battleships are named after "a certain province", all of them!"
After taking a sip of coffee, he continued.
"But "Fearless"? What is this? It is neither the name of a province nor the name of a city. It... seems to be an auxiliary warship worth mentioning, although, the information we received before this -
—The Ming Empire is designing and building a new type of warship. But...who knew that "Fearless" is actually a battleship?"
"Damn we fell for them."
Perkins said bluntly.
"Now it looks like we are a bunch of idiots, right? All of us are a bunch of idiots."
Of course, he didn't know that this name was given by Emperor Zhu Da himself. After all, in another world, fearlessness was an era.
"That's pretty much it."
Lawrence, I said depressedly.
"But they also have to teach us a lesson about what we should do if we want to keep it secret."
"Yes, we are just a bunch of amateurs when it comes to intelligence."
Perkins asked again after agreeing.
"Lawrence, do you have any other information? Maybe we should share it."
"intelligence?"
Lawrence shook his head and said.
"My target has no other information, otherwise London wouldn't be so angry."
How could London not be annoyed?
It takes at least three years to build a warship, but in the past three years, they did not have any information about that warship. In the past three years, how many warships did the British Empire build? How much wasted money
How many warships have been built with money that are already obsolete as soon as they are put into service or even before they are launched?
In the final analysis, it is because they did not do a good job in intelligence work and did not obtain this information.
"The same is true in Washington. In the past few years, we have also spent a lot of money."
Perkins shook his head helplessly, and then said.
"So many warships have now turned into a pile of useless scrap metal. I swear in the name of God that in future naval battles - whoever owns the dreadnoughts will win the naval battle."
The reason why Perkins was so sure was that he was a naval officer and he was well aware of the changes at sea brought about by the Unexpected.
"A fully heavy artillery battleship, fourteen-inch cannons, and eight-inch-thick armor. Although it is a little thin, its speed has reached an astonishing level - 26 knots. God, can you imagine that there is such a powerful thing in the world?
A battleship?”
While feeling emotional, he added.
"So, the future sea belongs to him, this is something that no one can deny."
As an army officer, Lawrence did not understand the revolutionary changes that Wu Jing had brought to the sea. But he knew very well what the 14-inch cannon meant?
It means great power, and it means that he is likely to be the king of the sea in the future.
"Lawrence, my friend, we need to speed up this work!"
Staring at Lawrence, Perkins said.
"We can't continue to make mistakes like we are now. Otherwise, even I can't forgive myself. God can testify that each of us is very clear that the Ming Empire is preparing for a war with us and our
!”
Perkins stared at Lawrence and said.
"A war with every one of us Anglo-Saxons! If we lose this war, it is very likely that all of us will die without a burial place, and they will be like the barbarians who invaded Rome in history.
, destroy everything we have, they will destroy our civilization and turn us all into slaves..."
When mentioning this future, Perkins's eyes were full of fear...fear of the future! Of course, he was even more afraid that he had misfortunately said all that.
What is the most terrifying thing?
It means that you can obviously see the dangerous future, but you are unable to stop it from happening!
According to Perkins, if we can't stop this, then that terrible future will definitely happen.
The only question is - can they stop it from happening?
Perkins didn't have much confidence in this at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so afraid.
