() After getting rid of Japan's new warship, Liu Fu felt a lot more relaxed. This sneak attack on Tokyo Bay not only severely affected the Japanese navy's recovery speed, but also charged part of the interest for the Black Dragon Society's assassination of him. Just two
Liu Fu thought that such a broken warship was far from worth Rosalia's life, not to mention that it made her hands and feet weak from fear at the time. The mental loss would have to be calculated carefully when the time comes.
Taking advantage of the excitement of defeating the Japanese navy, Liu Fu announced his marriage to Miss Jacqueline Bourgeois in the St. Rosalia Cathedral after Rosalia's anniversary memorial service. From then on, Taiwan
Not only did we have a formal president, but we also had a nominal second and actually first presidential wife. Although this presidential wife is of French descent and was once an American.
However, because Taiwan has been continuously introducing scientific and technological talents and technical workers from various countries for more than ten years, there are a lot of white people in Taiwan, especially in large and medium-sized cities such as Taipei, Keelung, Tamsui, Taichung, Tainan, and Citong. White people and even black people are
They are all over the streets, and most of them speak fluent Anhui accent or Fujian dialect, no different from the locals.
As for the honeymoon trip after marriage, Liu Fu chose to go to Europe. When Rosalia passed away, many royal families in Europe sent out invitations. Although those were all shows for political purposes, if Liu Fu took it seriously,
The royal families of these countries cannot deny it. Whether they are willing or not, they still have to receive them, and the standards cannot be too low. After all, the other party is the leader of a country.
This trip to Europe was mainly to visit Britain, France, Germany, and Russia. As for the Netherlands, Denmark and other countries, Liu Fu just paid a courtesy visit to the royal family and did not make too many stops. After all, in this era, besides Europe,
Outside of these four countries, there is no country that can make a different voice.
On May 1, 1909, Liu Fu took the Africa, the second continental-class heavy cruiser, and led 3 destroyers and 1 supply ship. They set out from Keelung, passed the Strait of Malacca, and headed for the Suez Canal. This visit to Europe,
Liu Fu also specially brought 7 small electric-driven submarines to prepare as gifts for prime ministers and royal families of various countries.
This small submarine is only 9 meters long, 3 meters wide and 3 meters high. It is in the shape of a long egg. The hull is made of high-strength steel and has three large portholes on the left, right and bottom, which can clearly observe the surroundings in the sea water.
The scene. The small submarine uses batteries and electric motors as power, with a maximum speed of 7 nautical miles. Through the high-pressure gas cylinder carried in the boat, the submarine can carry 4 adults, dive into the sea water 20 meters deep, and stay for 2 hours.
This kind of submarine was originally manufactured to be used as equipment for rescuing submarines. However, due to insufficient diving depth, it has never been officially mass-produced. Only a dozen of them were trial-produced for use as auxiliary training for the navy. This time Liu Fu visited European countries.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a good gift. In the end, it was Jacqueline who came up with the idea. She said that Taiwan is most famous for its submarines, but real combat submarines are kept secret, so it is better to give them
These small toys were given as gifts. Liu Fu thought about it and realized that it was true. The cost of these submarines was not high, at most equivalent to the value of two armored vehicles, and the materials and equipment on the submarines were far different from those of combat submarines, so they were not afraid.
The navies of various countries can study the structure and parameters of Taiwan's submarines from this. If someone really studied these small submarines, Liu Fu would have to secretly enjoy it. How many detours would he have to go through to get the truth?
On May 11th, the visiting fleet passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and arrived at the first stop of the visit, the United Kingdom. At the Portsmouth naval port, Liu Fu was greeted by the second son of the then British King Edward VII, whose full name was Albert.
Frederick Arthur George
.Vidin. His Royal Highness the Prince is probably in his early 40s, with a long face, big eyes, and a dark brown beard. He is wearing a dark military uniform, with several medals scattered on his chest, and a golden...
Two rows of big buttons, like an actor from later generations.
In addition to following David to several high-society gatherings since time travel, Liu Fu attended this highest-level formal occasion for the first time. She didn’t know much about the etiquette at that time. Although she seemed calm on the surface, something went wrong.
Some little jokes.
When Liu Fu got off the boat, His Royal Highness the Prince and several members of the royal family were waiting for him to get off the boat not far from the gangway. Liu Fu didn't think much about it at the time. He walked over after getting off the gangway and grabbed the prince's hand.
He shook his head, then nodded to the woman next to the prince, and began to chat with the prince in English.
Liu Fu's actions made the prince a little surprised, but he didn't say anything and started chatting with Liu Fu. The prince didn't say anything, but that didn't mean that the members of the royal family around the prince didn't either. The first was the person next to the prince.
Madam, I am very sorry for Liu Fu's impolite behavior of treating herself as nothing.
She was often angry, but as a member of the royal family, she did not get angry on the spot, but her face turned a little blue, and she also ignored Jacqueline's greetings. Some of the surrounding royal members and accompanying officials were whispering to each other,
Some also put away their professional smiles and grimaced.
Liu Fu didn't notice this. He and the prince were chatting happily. Since they met for the first time, the two of them didn't know each other very well, so Liu Fu asked the prince if he had ever been a soldier. This military uniform was very
It looked good. Who knew that this topic would interest the prince, so the prince also talked about his military career.
When Prince George was 12 years old, he boarded the battleship HMS Britain with his brother Prince Victor, who was one year older, and became trainee seamen to learn navigation knowledge. George soon fell in love with this kind of sailing life, and
Two years later, he went on two long voyages with the training ship, reaching Australia and Japan.
When George was 18 years old, he and his brother were separated. Prince Victor joined the Army for further studies in preparation for his ascension to the throne, while Prince George remained in the Navy.
This prince was not interested in science and culture, but was very passionate about navigation. By 1891, he had become a naval squadron leader. However, shortly after his promotion, a typhoid fever interrupted his naval career.
While he was recuperating, his brother Prince Victor died of pneumonia the next year, and he became the first heir to the royal family.
During the chat, Liu Fu learned that Prince George is now the Duke of Cornwall and the Prince of Wales, and his father, Edward VII, has been very weak due to old age and has basically lived in Sand for the past two years.
In the royal manor of Lingerna, his mother Alexandra lived in France for a long time and rarely came back.
Liu Fu knew very little about the European royal family. He only knew from some documents of later generations that basically the royal families of various European countries were related by blood. According to current terms, it was consanguineous marriage and incest. Moreover, there were various secrets and tidbits about the royal family.
There are countless. Although Liu Fu is also very gossipy about these things, as the president of a country, Liu Fu still suppressed his extremely curious heart and did not inquire too much about Prince George's family affairs.
When Liu Fu introduced to George that the gift he gave to George was a submarine that could dive, the former naval officer immediately burst out with great enthusiasm. After getting Liu Fu's consent and instigation, Prince George did not follow the standard procedure.
Invite Liu Fu to carry the royal carriage to Baijin
Han Palace, accompanied by Liu Fu, boarded the heavy cruise ship in Taiwan and personally got into the small submarine parked on the heavy patrol deck. After many urgings from the royal escort, Prince George reluctantly left.
Submarine, it’s okay to realize his wish to arrange for the submarine to be launched immediately.
That night, Prince George, on behalf of his father, King Edward VII, hosted a banquet for Liu Fu and his wife Jacqueline at Buckingham Palace in Westminster. The banquet was not large, and the only hosts were George and his wife, Liu Fu.
The woman standing next to Prince George when Fu got off the boat was Princess Mary. The only guests were Liu Fu and his newlywed wife Jacqueline.
