Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1067
Xinjiapo.
Yue Yun and Lei Ming are drinking tea and sunbathing on the King’s armored ship.
According to the original plan, they wanted to attack Jakarta, but after discovering that Jakarta had built a deep trench, they did not act immediately. Instead, they reported Jakarta’s intelligence to the Royal Library.
Immediately they were ordered to temporarily stop taking action against Jakarta, and were asked to send a group of soldiers to Qingzhou for training in the use of new weapons. According to reports, these weapons were called mortars and were specifically used to attack enemies hiding in trenches. Square soldier.
At the same time, Yue Yun was ordered to make his fleet stop at Xinjiapo and meet Thunder. Once the new weapons arrived, he immediately took military action against Jakarta.
“Hey, I don’t know when this offensive order will come down. It’s not a problem to drink tea and sunbathe all day long.” Yue Yun sighed. Since the establishment of this armored fleet, the fleet has not fought a real naval battle. , Which made him feel like holding a sword in his hand and unable to get out of the sheath.
Compared with Yue Yun’s eagerness to fight, Lei Ming was very comfortable enjoying the rare scenery. He said: “Your navy doesn’t know the hardship of fighting on land. This Nanyang has been defeated all the way, and my soldiers are broken in the hands of the enemy. There are not many soldiers, because there are many soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness because of the miasma. Therefore, for our army, the soldiers all enjoy this rare vacation.
Yue Yun glanced at the army soldiers who were swimming in the sea and grilling on the beach. Compared with the first time they saw them, these soldiers were indeed rejuvenated.
“That’s the same, but our navy is not easy, and it’s boring to be bored in this iron can all year round.” Yue Yun said with a smile.
Leiming looked at the giant cannons aboard the King’s armored ship with some envy. These cannons have a large caliber, which is much larger than the field guns they carry. Only the caliber can tell the power of these cannons.
“You don’t want to get cheap and sell well. The previous sailing warships are much worse than this. When I first saw your fleet, I wanted to be a navy.” Lei Ming said helplessly.
The two were teasing each other. At this time, a soldier boarded the armored ship and handed the two telegrams to Yue Yun and the other to Lei Ming.
After reading the telegram, Yue Yun said: “The empire is not peaceful now. It is said that someone wants to restrict the emperor’s rights.”
Leiming nodded after reading the telegram, “These things that eat inside and out are simple and bold. If according to my temper, I will directly destroy the nine races, so as not to have so much trouble.”
The telegram in his hand was sent from the headquarters of the Southeast Military Region. Although he was out of war, news from within the empire would be sent to them through the situation of the telegram.
And the more they can get some circulated news from the telegrams of relatives and friends.
“You can’t say that, do you think the emperor can’t kill people? Now the emperor is still so enduring what he is planning. Our emperor has come out of a sea of blood and blood. These people want to fight the emperor. “Yue Yun said.
Lei Ming nodded, “No matter what, this time I will ask someone to give orders to the military command to make them firmly support the emperor. If the emperor has a dispatch, there is no delay. You can also give Dengzhou an order. Let’s fight now. Outside, you have to show your attitude.”
“Well, you are still thoughtful, at least this will be able to calm some of the younger generations.” Yue Yun said.
After a pause, he continued: “But you and I don’t have to worry about it. The emperor seems to have a good idea about this, otherwise he won’t not mention these things in this order, just let them continue to take military action to capture Jakarta. “
Leiming also received an order from Xiao Ming. He said: “The first batch of mortars will be in place in half a month, and that will be the end of Jagheda.”
After that, he stood up and said to the messenger beside him: “Order the soldiers to assemble, and the soldiers will be sent to Jagda in ten days.”
In response, the herald immediately got off the battleship.
Yue Yun said at this time: “I should also prepare. According to our intelligence, this time the combined western fleet has a tendency to encircle us from Jakarta and Malacca. At least 30 reinforcement ships have arrived in Jakarta. This brought the number of warships in Jakarta to more than 50, and more warships were docked in Kolkata, preparing to break through Malacca.
With a solemn look of thunder, for him this time they will fight the biggest battle with the West so far, and the result of this battle will be who will eventually win the dominance of Asia.
London.
Vedomia was also worried about the war in Asia. This time, the missions sent by Britain and France did not achieve any results and returned home with humiliation.
It is under this premise that they finally decided to fight a fierce battle with the Chinese Empire in India to force the Chinese Empire to return to the negotiating table, instead of using barbaric methods to seize all their interests in Asia.
After all, India is very important to Britain. They would rather give up the entire South America than India, because this region with a population of more than 100 million is a huge market and raw material supply and sale.
Once India is lost, British industry and commerce will suffer serious losses~~ Now we are worried about India, and perhaps also whether the Chinese Empire will continue to expand westward. After all, according to the latest intelligence, they are now They have even more terrifying weapons, a rear-mounted rifle with metal bullets, a rear-mounted artillery, and a weapon that can be fired continuously, called machine guns. For the navy, they have dozens of powerful ships. Ironclad ships, I am afraid we have little chance of winning this war. “
Tulip Palace, Murphy reported the situation of the war to Vidomija with some pessimism.
“Is this information reliable?” Vidomia frowned.
“This information comes from Cao Kun’s people, and our soldiers who fled from Australia have also proved this point. In response to this situation, we must completely reform our national defense system, otherwise we will lose not only India, but also more. “Murphy said: “I propose to increase investment in military expenditures and convene elite technical personnel to study the direction of the development of the Chinese Empire’s weapons. Now that the domestic steam engine technology is very mature, maybe we should use these machinery to do something?”
Vidomija’s brows frowned deeply, and she said: “From now on, we will reduce all the expenses of the palace and invest all the money saved in the research and development of weapons. At the same time, we will send envoys to European countries to win their support.”
After a while, she said: “Also, if we send envoys to the Ottoman Empire, we must not allow the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Empire to unite. For this reason, we can take all means to destroy the relationship between them. “108)!!
