Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1077
December 24th.
After Thunder completely occupied Boer City, Yue Yun gave the order to advance to Kolkata.
After two days of voyage, the mighty fleet arrived off the coast of Kolkata, and the news reached the Governor’s House of Kolkata as soon as possible.
“The Chinese empire’s fleet did not pass through Malacca, but directly bypassed the southern side of Malaysia. This can only show one problem. I am afraid that Jakarta has fallen.”
In the Governor’s Mansion, Butrin explained pessimistically to the military commanders of the other four countries.
“boom!”
Butlin’s voice fell, and a young man with blond hair slapped it on the table.
“The Chinese Empire deceived people too much. For these colonies we have been operating for a hundred years, and now we are bitten by them. If we can’t curb their greed, I am afraid that our colonies all over the world will fall into their hands.” The youth said loudly.
“Klaus is right, and it’s our purpose here, isn’t it? I really hope this **** war will end soon.” Nicholas said gruffly, holding his pipe in his mouth.
The five-nation coalition forces are gathered here. He, the governor of Calcutta, has an arduous task because just coordination in all aspects gives them a headache.
The most important thing is that now that the Dutch colonies are all lost, then all the food supplies fall on the head of Britain, which makes him very unhappy.
Butlin laughed and said: “The only way to end the war is for us to **** the Chinese empire or be beaten by them.”
Then he looked at the young man, this man named Ferryn. The young officer came from the Netherlands. His father was Governor Eifel of Jakarta, so Ferryn would be so angry after hearing his analysis.
“We must have beaten them to the bottom.” Film looked rather impatient, “Now the Chinese empire’s fleet is at the estuary of the Ganges River. Give me the command of the fleet. I will sink them all.”
“Hahaha… Do young people only speak big words now? Wilson, such an excellent admiral, has lost to the hands of the Chinese Empire, can you command the fleet with a boy with no hairs?”, sitting across the round table Said the bearded officer sarcastically.
The filmy complexion turned red. This bearded man is the Spanish naval admiral Corbancy, who is quite famous in Europe.
Portugal, the French generals also gave out a suppressed smile at this time, all mocking Ferryn’s overpowering.
Butlin frowned. The five-nation alliance seems to be overwhelming, but the contradiction in it is a fool to see.
Now no one wants to lose their power to go to war with the empire. For this reason, no one is willing to hand over their fleet to the command of Film.
With a sigh in his heart, he said: “Everyone, now is not the time for infighting. Now that the empire has captured Jakarta, there is no doubt that India is the next target to be attacked. If we cannot unite and rub the spirit of the Chinese empire, then We face the loss of all the interests of Asia.”
“In that case, it is better to let the British and French fleets serve as forwards. Now Asia has only your interests, not ours.”
Corbansie said rudely again, this sentence made both Ferryn and the Portuguese officer nod slightly, he was not like he was being used as a gun by the British and French.
Nicholas was unhappy, “If you are so insincere, our cooperation will end. After the occupation of India, the goal of the Chinese Empire is Africa. If I remember correctly, your colonies in Africa will not Less, the slave trade has also made you a lot of money. In North America and South America, the greed of the Chinese empire is unlimited, and the benefits of our hard work for hundreds of years are you so willing to make it?”
The other four-nation military officers all fell silent at this time.
Nicholas continued: “The Chinese Empire is antagonizing the whole of Europe, and now Tsarist Russia is also on our side. In response to the rise of the Chinese Empire, the unity of Europe is not far away.”
“In that case, let us elect the person who leads the fleet.” Corbancy said, “I vote for myself. Only I have experience in large-scale naval battles here.”
Cobansie’s words fell, and the other three raised their hands, but Ferryn hesitated and raised his hands. He knew that he was not as good as Corbansie after all.
“Okay, then the admiral of the combined fleet is Mr. Corbancy, so now do you have any suggestions?” Butlin was a little excited.
Corbancy pondered for a moment. He said: “According to the intelligence, the warships of the Chinese Empire are all iron-clad ships, and all the failures of the coalition forces last time were because of the rampage of the iron-clad ships, our shells could not even break through the opponent’s. armor.”
“Yes, that’s what the escaped crew member said.” Nicholas said.
Corbancy smiled sullenly. He said: “Obviously, head-to-head with this fleet is seeking a dead end. If Jakarta falls, it means that all fifty warships have sunk. Then, with the warship that just arrived, we still There are 150 warships left, and we still have the advantage in number. Therefore, this time we should take a surprise attack and use the cover of the night to attack. As long as the naval battle is turned into a sea battle, then we still have a trace of victory. Hope.”
“This is a good idea~~ Butlin glanced at Corbancy with admiration, “If we can win this way, maybe we can capture all the armored ships. “
Others also showed admiration and nodded.
Agreed on a plan to attack the imperial warships, and Butlin immediately announced its dissolution, allowing Corbancy to prepare for the raid tonight.
According to their plan, after night fell, Corbancy led the fleet drifting down the Ganges. During the day, they had detected the position and distance of the Imperial warships through observation posts, so they could find specific locations in the dark.
“Prepare all the eagle claw hooks, and immediately throw the eagle claw hooks on the imperial battleship as soon as it hits.” Corbancy warned carefully.
All the crew nodded in the dark. Although they couldn’t see each other’s faces, they were very excited. If they could capture the armored ship, they would really get rich.
Its just that their fantasy was quickly pierced by bright beams of light. Just when they were about to approach the iron armored ship, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shone from the iron armored ship, exposing them completely.
Corbancy tried to open his eyes, and the beam of light illuminated their boat as bright as day. He was immediately cold and his hair stood up.
“Boom boom boom…”
Before he could react, countless fire lights lit up in the darkness, and then he saw that the battleships he led became fireballs in the explosion. )!!
