    A few days ago, after Prince Mustafa completed his mission, he left his sister Princess Nikita behind.

    After all, if you want Nikita to go to America, you must have help from people from the Song Empire.  Otherwise, how could the Ottomans, who could not even get out of the Mediterranean, send Princess Nikita to America.

    After learning about the Ottomans' plans, the governor of Cairo, Mabond, did not neglect the princess who was left behind. He provided very luxurious supplies and consumables every day.

    Even the maids and guards around her have received a lot of benefits.

    Therefore, Nikita is still very satisfied with the attitude of the Song Empire.

    At the very least, the other party did not treat me lightly, and the things she provided were consistent with her status as a princess.

    In this way, Princess Nikita lived in the Cairo Concession for seven or eight days. After Mabande mobilized a heavily equipped warship, Princess Nikita left Cairo and began her journey to the Americas.

    This heavily-equipped battleship is used by the empire for the concession.

    After all, the empire has established a total of three concessions in Europe and Egypt.

    When far away from the mainland, these three concessions must be closely integrated to be able to cope with possible emergencies.

    And, with the battleships, the Chinese people in the concession can also have a way out.  If they encounter an enemy they cannot resist, they can still leave the concession on a battleship to ensure their own safety.

    It can be said that Zhao Hongyu still attaches great importance to the personal safety of ethnic Chinese.

    Of course, placing such a heavily armored warship here in the Mediterranean is also a way for the empire to show off its maritime strength.  It makes some people a little wary of doing things that won't cause trouble.

    You must know that the technological level of the empire's heavily armored battleships is two hundred years ahead of this era.  It can be said that even if the wings of a small butterfly appear, it will not be easy for Europeans to catch up.

    Such a huge battleship.  It has a total of 108 artillery pieces and its speed is also very fast.  Moreover, the hull is also inlaid with steel plates for enhanced defense, so it can definitely be called a 'behemoth' on the sea today.

    Anyone who has seen this kind of heavily armed battleship will be frightened and frightened.

    Of course, the Empire did not put many of these battleships in the Mediterranean.  There are only three ships in total.  It is also claimed that these three battleships are the only three in the empire.

    In fact, this is not the case at all.

    The empire has built hundreds of shipyards in America. These shipyards have never stopped manufacturing warships in these years. It can be said that all factories are operating at full capacity.

    Some of these shipyards are specially used to build conventional battleships, while others are specially used to build such heavy battleships.

    therefore.  Over the years, the empire has owned thousands of conventional battleships and more than 500 heavily armed battleships.

    It¡¯s not at all what it was claimed to be.

    This approach is actually understandable. After all, as a country, we still have to hide some of our trump cards, right?

    But even so, three heavily armed battleships in the Mediterranean are very scary.

    Fortunately, the Empire never causes trouble.  This was a relief.

    Now, in order for Princess Sonnikita to go to America, Mabond had to use this warship under the jurisdiction of the Cairo Concession.

    After boarding this huge ¡®sea beast¡¯, Princess Nikita was also very excited.

    She had never thought that a warship could be built so big that it was almost as large as a moving piece of land on the sea.

    Of course, if Princess Nikita¡¯s idea was known to Mabond, Mabond would definitely laugh at the princess.

    Although this kind of heavily armed battleship with a wooden structure seems very big, compared with future aircraft carriers, this kind of ship is simply a child's play.

    Only future aircraft carriers can be considered truly mobile land.

    Like this wooden three-deck sailboat.  How could it be considered a mobile land?

    It was just a joke.

    However, from the perspective of Princess Nikita, a native of this time and space, there is nothing wrong with her idea.

    After all, judging from the technology of various countries in this era, it is still difficult to build such a warship.

    not to mention.  This eraThe ships are not that big, so after seeing this kind of heavily armored battleship of the empire, it is not surprising that you would have such an idea.

    The cabin arranged for Princess Nikita is very luxurious and has all kinds of daily necessities.

    Princess Nikita is quite satisfied with her residence.

    ?????????????????????? At least, it would be nice to be able to live in a place like this during a long sea voyage.

    Although Princess Nikita has no experience of ocean sailing, she has also inquired about some things about the ocean before.

    Therefore, she is not the kind of ignorant novice. She very understands and understands how difficult ocean sailing can be.

    Fortunately, Nikita was already mentally prepared.  Know what difficulties you will face.

    Based on this situation, how could she be dissatisfied after seeing her own residence?

    You must know that European ships of this era, even the most luxurious ocean-going ships, cannot have cabins like the Song Empire.

    Except for the two personal maids, her servants and guards were all arranged in other cabins.

    And the cabins of these people are also very clean and tidy, not at all the dirty environment they imagined, which is unbearable.

    Enough fresh water, food and meat were quickly replenished in Cairo.

    Because there are high-power propellers hidden under the water of the heavily armored battleships, the empire's heavily armored battleships will not be like the ocean-going ships of this era, which require a six-month voyage from Europe to America.

    Basically, if everything goes well, it will take more than twenty days.  This heavily armed battleship can reach America.

    However, in order to confuse Princess Nikita and not let her know this.  Then, this heavily equipped battleship would have to slow down and sail at sea for four months.

    therefore.  In order to achieve this goal, a large amount of fresh water and various supplies were replenished on the ship.  The crew was even reduced by half in order to load supplies.

    The battleship slowly left the dock of Alexandria and sailed towards the depths of the Aegean Sea.

    Watching the battleship disappear into the sea, Mabond's mouth cracked: "The Ottomans have a good plan, but I think their plan is destined to fail. Our Highness is not the kind who can't move when he sees a woman.  The guy on the road. So I firmly believe that the Ottomans are going to lose their wives and lose their troops this time."

    As soon as Ma Bangde finished speaking, the concession officials surrounding him spoke in agreement.

    These people all came to see Princess Nikita off, and they were all genetically Chinese.

    Therefore, everyone agrees very much with what Ma Bond said.

    That¡¯s not what happened!

    They have all come into contact with Zhao Hongyu.  So I know Zhao Hongyu¡¯s character.

    Therefore, they all know that their master is not the kind of person who will act mean when seeing a woman and then be unable to walk.

    So, the Ottomans¡¯ plan is definitely going to fail.

    ¡°Maybe, the Ottomans will have to pay a lot of money this time.

    ¡°My Highness is not an easy person to get along with.  Not to mention that there are a few bad and oily people around him.

    "However, these have nothing to do with me. If the Ottomans are unlucky, they are unlucky.

    ¡°Besides, they brought it to their doorstep themselves.

    Mabande and his party left Alexandria and quickly returned to the concession in the western suburbs of Cairo.

    When Mabond returned to the concession, a subordinate immediately came to his office.

    "My Lord Governor, there is a group of Arabs from the Middle East who want to see you."

    Arabs?

    ? Here in Cairo, there are many businessmen from the Arab world.

    Even here in the concession, there are many Arabs, so Mabandang didn't seem shocked by this.

    To know.  The biggest customers in the concession are Arab businessmen.

    They have great interest and desire to buy the Empire¡¯s Thirteen Fragrances, refined salt and sugar, as well as various luxury goods, daily necessities and household products.

    at the same time.  Merchants from Arabia would also sell the best Persian female slaves to the concession.

    Therefore, there are usually some Arab businessmen who will ask to see them to discuss some matters.

    "Are you an acquaintance? Do you want to buy a large amount of goods?"

    MaBangdang sat behind his desk, opened the desk drawer, took out a file, and began to read through it slowly.

    ???????????? Apparently Mabond didn¡¯t take his subordinate¡¯s advice seriously.

    The subordinate standing in front of him shook his head and said: "I have never seen this group of people before. It seems that it is the first time they have come to the concession. Moreover, these people's clothes are very luxurious, and they obviously have a lot to do with those businessmen."  The difference. Moreover, the Arab who seems to be the leader is accompanied by many elite Arab warriors. "

    Mabond¡¯s heart moved as he looked away from the document.

    "Oh, then let their leader come in."

    The subordinate nodded and left, while Mabond sat there and pondered.

    Who are these people?

    Is it a royal family from Arabia?  Or the Warchief?

    "Otherwise, it would be difficult to infer what the subordinate said.

    Although I have met a lot of Arabs, they are just businessmen.

    ¡°These businessmen, no matter how rich they are, are still ordinary people.

    Compared with the royal families and chiefs who have great power in Arabia, they are still very inferior.

    ¡°If these people seeking an audience are royals or chiefs, then what do they mean?

    MaBangde is constantly guessing and judging in his heart
