Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1095
“Riesling, Britain has surrendered!”
On the iron-clad ship, Liu Chen pointed at the British soldiers who came out of the trench. All of these soldiers raised their hands above their heads, carrying a white flag.
Leiming also saw this scene, and a smile gradually bloomed on his face. Although fighting is the duty of a soldier, no one wants to see his soldiers die on the battlefield.
“Thank you, the emperor, if we hadn’t been under the siege of the past six months, we could not have taken India with a small casualty.” Thunder looked excited.
patted Liu Chen’s arm again, and he continued: “Go, go ashore, let’s accept the surrender of the European coalition forces.”
After that, he burst out laughing.
Liu Chen also had a smile in his eyes. India is the most difficult British bridgehead in Southeast Asia. Now that this fortress is occupied, it means that all Nanyang has been included in the empire. From then on, this Nanyang has been the back garden of the empire.
motioned for the first officer, and the warship sailed towards the port of Kolkata while whistling.
In the trench position of the coalition forces, Chang Yuzhu watched vigilantly the British soldiers coming up from the trench.
The surrender of the British made him a little unexpected. He thought that he would not be able to win the trench without a **** battle, but he obviously overestimated the British will to resist in the desperate situation.
Faced with an impossible war, the Europeans chose to submit.
Cautiously watching the surrendering British, San Yuzhu ordered the soldiers to separate the surrendered prisoners into custody, while the officer was kept alone.
The purpose of this is to prevent the enemy’s officers from uniting the soldiers and avoid unnecessary confusion.
While busy, the thunder and Liu Chen who came ashore at the pier quickly reached the forward position. At this time, Chang Yuzhu walked over and gave a military salute and said, “Commander, all the coalition soldiers have surrendered. Excluding the dead soldiers, the total number of surrenders is 40,000. A thousand people.”
Thunder returned a military salute, and he said: “You have to behave well. I will ask the emperor for your credit. Where is the highest commander of the coalition forces now?”
“They have been kept alone, and I will bring them here now.” Chang Yuzhu replied, and then he ordered the soldiers beside him to lead people.
After a while, all the officers of the five nations, including Butrin, were brought before Thunder.
“Commander, his name is Butlin, he is the commander of the coalition forces, and everyone else is the highest commander of all countries.” Chang Yuzhu pointed to the dejected Butlin and said.
The thunderous brows raised their heads. There was a time when they had no choice but to face the provocation of the British, but now these British people can only humblely bow their heads in front of them.
“Commander Butrin, now you should understand how stupid it is to fight against the empire. If Kolkata was handed over earlier, there would be no such unpleasant thing between us.” Thunder said slowly.
His words fell, and the translator translated the words to Butrin.
“Those politicians are indeed stupid, but I will not admit that this is the failure of our soldiers. If you have your weapons, it is uncertain whether you will win or lose.” Butlin said that he was very unwilling to surrender this time, because he even Being able to return to Europe, this defeat was also a stain that he could not erase in his life.
Lei Ming laughed loudly when he heard the words, and he said: “You don’t understand a truth until now. Scientific and technological strength is the fighting ability of a country. Did you Europeans conquer America with a burning stick? You lament. Its just a reversal of roles now.”
Butlin was silent. For a long time, he sighed and said, “I hope you can keep your promise and let us return to Europe.”
“Of course, our imperial soldiers have always talked, but this will have to wait until the end of the second negotiation.” Lei Ming said.
The Battle of India Europe captured so many soldiers, and at the same time lost their interests in Southeast Asia. When the news reaches Europe, Europeans will inevitably return to the negotiating table again. It is time to re-divide the global sphere of influence.
Butlin suddenly felt ashamed. He naturally understood that the exchange of interests after the war was inevitable.
asked the soldiers to lead a group of officers down. Thundering looked at the distant city of Kolkata at this time. This city on Indian soil was European style.
But from now on, this city will officially belong to the empire. After Butrin announced the surrender, the British soldiers in Kolkata also chose to surrender.
patrolled the battlefield, Lei Ming and Liu Chen entered the city of Kolkata. Now the British soldiers here have been replaced by Imperial soldiers.
Because the British chose to surrender, there was no major damage here, as if there had never been a battlefield here.
Especially the white pagoda in the center of Kolkata hasn’t been damaged at all. This white pagoda is the British governor’s palace.
The white pagoda appears white as a whole. The center is a dome building surrounded by a hexagonal white wall. There is a minaret at each corner of the wall. It is said that the British built the white pagoda after gaining a foothold in India. The White Tower was originally used as a bastion.
“The British have been in the hands of the Empire for so many years now. I am afraid that their queen will be mad.” Lei Ming walked on the road paved with bluestone, in a very good mood~~ This is for sure, this The Indian peninsula has a population of hundreds of millions, and it can be described as a huge market. The most important thing is that it is fertile and rich in food production. If it loses this place, the United Kingdom will definitely be broken, and for the empire, it will not only have a dumping market. , And at the same time there is an additional food production area, which is enough to bring the lives of the people of the empire to a higher level. “Liu Chen’s eyebrows were flying, his original intention for joining the army was simple, that is, to live a good life.
He still thinks so, but in order to make the empire rich to the current level of Europe, besides producing food, they also need the colony to provide them with supplies.
Only when they are rich in material, can they completely get rid of their previous poverty.
As they talked, they walked to the Governor’s Mansion.
Now this place has been cleaned up by the soldiers. The Governor Nicholas of Calcutta has also become their prisoner, and now it has become their temporary office. Sitting in the former Governors office room, Thunderings face is full of triumphant smiles.
However, his smile quickly solidified, because he remembered the information provided by the secret guard, so he said to San Yuzhu who was following: “Cao Kun fled to Burma, but there may be residual bandits in Kolkata. Soldiers must be sent to them. Catch them, it’s time to clean up these thieves who have eaten inside and out.”
“Yes, Commander.” Chang Yuzhu responded and immediately asked the soldiers to search the entire process. As long as they were the remnants of the merchant council, they would arrest them for interrogation.
