The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 193

...

The afterglow of the setting sun gently spilled over Havana.Situ Nan finally had the opportunity to experience the charm and style of Havana, the "Pearl of the Caribbean".

Situ Nan and Laura walked slowly and leisurely across the street holding hands, stepping on the Havana flip-flops that Laura had just bought under their feet.

It is said to be a couple costume?Situ Nan sneered at Laura's petty bourgeoisie, it was actually quite useful.

"My dear, it would be great if we could go on like this for the rest of our lives!" Laura said, and Meimu looked at Situ Nan affectionately.

"Yes!" Situ Nan hugged Laura hard, but knew in his heart that he didn't have so much time and energy to be with her, and it was not time to rest.

There is a saying, "The most romantic thing is to grow old with you!" Situ Nan doesn't know when he can take his lover's hand and walk the dusk every day?

Havana produces famous wines, and the street wine culture is particularly strong. There are many bars near the port!

Those cheap wines that cost a few cents a glass are the favorites of the crew on the shore.

They have experienced a long and dangerous voyage on the sea, and their energy savings need to be vented on alcohol and prostitutes.

Then he raised his bitterness, had a big drink, relied on the fiery energy in his chest, and met again on the sea, fighting like a warrior.

Curiously, Situ Nan and the others walked into a bar called "Five Cents" and ordered two beers.

The coldness of the wine quickly drove away the heat from the body, and people also felt refreshed.Somewhat uncomfortable is that the bar environment is a bit complicated.

"Don't be nervous, no one can hurt you with me!" Situ Nan felt that Laura was a little uneasy, so she gently grasped her hand.

Laura had never been to these cheap bars, and felt a little messy, especially when she came in to see the rude men around her with malicious eyes, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, with Situ Nan by her side, her heart was calmed a lot, otherwise she would have run away long ago!

With Han Qian and other five or six bodyguards by his side, Situ Nan was not afraid, still drinking the wine calmly, and swept around coldly, looking a little provocative.

There was a desire in his heart, hoping that before leaving, an ignorant guy would let him vent.

Unfortunately, after sitting for a long time, the cup was empty, but no one came to find fault, Situ Nan was a little disappointed!

(Nonsense! A young son with a stunning beauty, and a few cold guys sitting beside him, who dares to come up and die!) "Let's go!"

Just when Situ Nan was feeling dispirited, God finally heard his call. A blushing, drunk guy came over and pointed at Situ Nan and yelled: "Damn British! I will fight you to the end. I am not afraid of you! I will fight you!"

He said while waving the bottle, he was about to rush over!

"Papa!"

Before the drunk approached Situ Nan half a step, he was kicked away by the well-prepared Han Gan and hit the table behind him, spilling wine glasses all over the floor.

The people around quickly drew away, hiding aside, "watching" with a calm expression, as if they were used to it.

"I'm going to a duel with you! Damn! I'm not afraid of you, come on!" The drunk man stumbled over again, and it seemed that he was really drunk.

Situ Nan shook his head to Han Gan, indicating that he doesn't care about it.In bars, there are often people who want to vent when they are drunk, and it is inevitable for people to admit mistakes.

"Sir, he is drunk and has no intention of offending you!" A blond man in his twenties hurriedly stepped forward and caught the drunk who seemed to be asking for trouble!

"Be optimistic about your companion! But I really don't know, how can I look like a British guy?" Situ Nan laughed mockingly.

Shaking his head, he didn't intend to care about the other party. When he was about to leave, the drunkard was anxious and didn't know where he came from. He pushed his companion away and rushed up again.

"No, you damn British guy, remember you! Don't want to leave! I want to teach you!" he shouted almost frantically.

Damn, it's endless!

Han Gan was angry and pushed the drunk to the ground with a palm, but this time he didn't use much force.

"Leo! Wake up! This is no longer on the Scharnhorst, there is no battle, there is no Far East Fleet, Lieutenant General von Spey has sunk with the "Scharnhorst" The Atlantic Ocean.Wake up!"Lucas looked at his companion, Leo, with a look of pain on his face. Damn, more than two thousand officers and soldiers on the ship died, why did he leave the two dead, he and Leo!

Without the battle, there are only two walking dead.

Especially Leo, who went crazy as soon as he touched some alcohol, shouted duels with the British when he met someone, but after a few tries, everyone didn't bother to care about this lunatic.

"The Far East Fleet is gone? The "Schahnhorst", the "Gneizenau", the "Nuremberg", the "Emden" and the "Leipzig" are all gone?!!"The drunk man lay on the ground, his eyes gradually lost, and he slowly fell into painful memories.

He put his head in his hands, pulled his hair vigorously, and said: "Why are everyone dead? We are not dead yet? Hahaha! General Spey, why did you abandon me?

Do not!You lie to me, I want to fight, I want to fight...

He was about to get up again, and rushed towards Situ Nan with a frantic look, but he fell to the ground without taking two steps.

Situ Nan looked back at the man who fell on the ground, as if thinking of something, and said coldly: "Bring them back!"

Chapter 170

To the east is the Jieshi to view the sea, and the water He Dandanshan Island is upright.

Situ Nan stood on the bow of William's ship, braving the wind and waves, and he was proud of himself.Unconsciously, the above verse jumped out of his mind.

Although Lao Cao was heroic, he was a horse emperor after all, and the ocean was still too deep for him!The ancients rode horses in the Central Plains, and after all, they went around in the small world there for thousands of years. Compared with sailing out to the sea and looking for the larger and vast world, they still fell behind in opening up a new route.

"I am a bit gold, a bit silver, there are a few boats in the sea, and a beautiful wife, what else can I ask for?" As this Spanish folk rumor Stuart heard from Havana said, in Westerners In their eyes, their happiness comes from the sea, from trade and conquest.

While expressing the same hope, people living in the east of the Himalayas for generations have used "a cow on 30 acres of land, and wives and children pit their heads."Their happiness comes from the underground, from the hard work of sweat.

The difference in understanding of the ocean has created a different situation between the East and the West. The long-term lead of the Eastern land civilization has been gradually overwhelmed by the rise of Western navigation hundreds of years ago.

The lessons of history tell Situ Nan that he declines behind the sea and prospers by the sea.Looking at the great powers of modern times, all of them prospered by the sea, from Spain, Portugal to the Netherlands, and now to the United Kingdom and the United States. The key to how much a country and a nation can achieve depends on how much water they have mastered!

"Do you know? Leo, in my opinion, the vast ocean in front of us is like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, in which countless competitors are fighting selflessly, and all the hegemony contenders are stepping on countless Bloody corpse.

You Germans are also powerful challengers, but unfortunately you failed!But I still admire this spirit of daring to compete. You let the world see your strength and courage."Situ Nan said lightly.

The unsmiling man standing beside him was the drunk who was brought back to the William last night.But at this moment, he is already sober.

"Has the German Navy failed? Has Germany failed in the competition to rush out of the North Sea and compete for the Atlantic dominance?"

Leonu snorted and said unwillingly: "No, we have not failed yet. Our submarine force has tightened the British throat tightly, and they are almost unable to withstand it.

On the Eastern Front, we have eliminated the Russians.The German Empire will not fail."

"Oh? Really? I think the situation in Germany is very difficult. As the saying goes, two fists are harder than four hands. You had to deal with the British, French, Russians, and Italians. You already had a hard time, but now you are annoying the Americans. .

American talents are the key to the course of this war. The constant supply of materials shipped from the United States to Europe will become the "straw" that overwhelms the German giants!"

Situ Nan said disdainfully, he knew very well what role he played in it.

Leo was silent for a while, shook his head, and said firmly: "German soldiers are loyal and brave, they are invincible. Even if the navy is temporarily trapped, the soldiers of the empire on land will deal heavy blows to their enemies. Germany will not fail and will never surrender even at the end of the battle."

"Okay! What you said is correct. But let's wait and see what the final result will be! In short, the German navy has indeed suffered setbacks, and they will not be able to get out of the Atlantic for a while."
