“…”
Bolt had a sullen face and stopped talking. Wesley’s statement confirmed the intelligence they collected.
However, losing Malacca, allowing Dasong’s army to run rampant in the waters of Tianzhu, losing Piaoman, and allowing Dasong’s army to peek at Tianzhu on the east side of Tianzhu, all made him extremely annoyed.
Even though Wesley was now the commander of the coalition forces, he could not suppress his anger.
So he said, “When you return to Britain, Her Majesty the Queen will decide your culpability.”
“That’s great. At least I can return to Britain alive.” Wesley said tit for tat.
Malacca’s failure frustrated him to the extreme, and he didn’t care about anything now.
Of course, that doesn’t mean everything is insignificant.
In the deepest part of his heart, there is still the flame of revenge, hoping to wash away his humiliating failure in Malacca.
The two were arguing when suddenly a burst of fire lit up on the sea.
Then a sound like rolling thunder came from afar.
“Hide!” Wesley yelled at Bolt, grabbed his arm and threw himself behind a bunker.
At this moment, a rain of shells covered the entire port.
“Boom, boom, boom…” The shells exploded continuously.
The British merchant ship in the port was shot and was immediately blown to pieces, turning into a ball of fire burning on the sea.
Wooden boxes stacked on top of each other were also hit.
These wooden boxes were filled with various goods. The cannonballs knocked these wooden boxes away, and the porcelain, tea leaves, and spices inside were rolled up and fell to the ground.
Some warehouses were blown up and the flames set nearby buildings on fire.
The soldiers near the port were particularly miserable. They died under the shelling before they could react.
However, most of these dead soldiers were soldiers guarding Calcutta.
Those soldiers who returned from Malacca reacted very quickly and hid immediately because they had experienced the bombardment of the battleship Dasong, with very few casualties.
With just one shelling, the port of Calcutta turned into a sea of flames, like a hell on earth.
Bolt was completely frightened. He had never experienced such a terrifying bombardment. His legs were paralyzed from fear. After struggling a few times, he did not stand up.
“This, is this the battleship of Dasong?” Looking up at the battleship of Dasong, which was still far away from the port, Bolt almost cried when he spoke.
“That’s right.” Wesley said coldly, feeling relieved.
In his opinion, this Bolt could stand and talk without pain in his back.
Now, he was finally taught a lesson by Da Songren.
However, despite being dissatisfied with Bolt, he still took advantage of the gap between the reloading of the Dasong naval gun and pulled Bolt to escape from the port.
After all, the most important thing right now is to deal with Da Songren, and other personal grudges can be put aside for the time being.
“Boom, boom, boom…” When he dragged Bolt more than thirty meters away, the second round of shelling arrived.
Wesley went into hiding with Bolt again.
After hiding like this, he dragged Bolt to a safe distance.
“Don’t worry about the port. If it can’t be saved, let the Dasong people blow it up.” Breathing slightly, Wesley said to Bolt, “They are just venting their anger, but they will not land for the time being. I am now We must go to the eastern border immediately to prevent the Dasong people from attacking from the Piaoman direction.”
After that, Wesley ignored Bolt and turned to leave.
“Wait.” Bolt suddenly called Wesley, who was much calmer now.
After thinking for a while, he said, “While you were in Malacca, the situation changed somewhat.”
Wesley stopped and asked, “What change?”
Bolt then told him about the Tusman Empire, as well as the Beidi and Rus countries.
The Tusman Empire joined the chaos in the Eastern Territory, which was naturally caused by Britain.
Because Britain has maintained good relations with the Tusman Empire for a long time.
The two countries even stood together to deal with the Russian State, preventing the Russian State from expanding its sphere of influence to China.
After all, this matter is beneficial to both countries.
The Tusman Empire gained hegemony over the Middle East, and Britain protected Tianzhu from the influence of the Rus.
In order to support the four Tusman countries, Britain not only had close trade relations with the Tusman Empire in recent years, but also exported a lot of technology to it to enhance the strength of the four Tusman countries.
This is also the reason why the Tusman emperor was able to fight back and forth with the Rus in Middle-earth.
But now a more dangerous enemy than the Ross Kingdom has appeared.
Therefore, their queen and parliament decided to let the Tusman Empire and the Rus State put aside their conflicts to concentrate on dealing with Dasong.
Take advantage of the ambitions of the four Tusman kingdoms in the Tianshan region.
Britain and Russia facilitated Beidi’s cession of the Tianshan area to Tusman.
In return, the Tusman Empire naturally chose to side with them.
After all, if Dasong’s power expands westward, it will inevitably conflict with the Tusman Empire.
And what they eat will not be spit out easily.
All these events occurred in just three months, three months after his intelligence arrived in Britain.
The reason why they were so quick was because they decided to change the traditional method of communication, which was to transmit intelligence by sea.
After all, the voyage from Tianzhu to Britain would take four months even with a steam ship.
However, it is only about 6,000 kilometers from Britain, through the Western Continent, and then from the Tusman Empire to Tianzhu.
It only takes two months for news from Britain to reach Tianzhu.
This is why Britain achieved a diplomatic victory in just over three months, bringing them a powerful Chinese ally and creating a powerful enemy for Dasong.
“What a perfect strategy.” Wesley’s gloomy mood suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on his face.
This move is equivalent to connecting the Western Land and the Middle Earth.
If possible, their army could even enter the central territory from the west and then reach Tianzhu.
This kind of long-distance land march is not something they have never done before in Britain.
At that time, their army took warships from the Mediterranean to Tusman, and then went from the south to the north of Tusman to fight the Russians.
“Hahaha, this is our unparalleled leadership in Britain. We have been running the world for more than three hundred years. How can it be compared to Dasong who has only brute force? Once their brute force is exhausted, Dasong will collapse. In front of us.” Wesley was in high spirits.
In the past few hundred years, their main business in the Western Territory was the New World, the Dark Continent.
Because China and Earth have cultural origins with them, there are conflicts and cooperation between the two.
And these are their traditional sphere of influence in the Western Territory. To them, the Eastern Territory area is just an undeveloped wilderness.
Therefore, even if they lost the area east of Malacca, it would be a pity for them, but it would not be a serious injury.
As for the Strait of Malacca, it is even more of a pity.
To him, that was the first line of defense to prevent Dasong forces from entering their traditional sphere of influence.
Tianzhu is the second line of defense.
Therefore, after losing Malacca, he secretly vowed that he would never lose this second line of defense again.
This pearl in the Queen’s crown of Britain must not gather dust.
