Chapter 1053 Dialogue
[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It is best to share it on Facebook for me]
"..."
Bolt's face was gloomy and he stopped talking. Wesley's statement confirmed the intelligence they had collected.
However, the loss of Malacca allowed the Dasong army to run rampant in the waters of Tianzhu, and the loss of the Barbarians allowed the Dasong army to spy on Tianzhu from the east side of Tianzhu. These made him extremely annoyed.
Even though Wesley was now the leader of the coalition forces, he could not suppress his anger.
So he said, "When you return to Britain, Her Majesty the Queen will make her own judgment on your guilt."
"That's great, at least I can still return to Britain alive." Wesley responded tit for tat.
The failure of Malacca frustrated him to the extreme, and he didn't care about anything now.
Of course, it doesn't mean that everything doesn't matter.
The flame of revenge was still in his heart, hoping to wash away his humiliating failure in Malacca.
The two were arguing when suddenly a burst of fire lit up the sea.
Then a thunderous sound came from afar.
"Hide!" Wesley yelled at Bolt, grabbed his arm and threw himself behind a bunker.
At this moment, shells rained down on the entire port.
"Boom boom boom..." Shells exploded continuously.
The British merchant ship in the port was hit and immediately shattered into pieces, turning into a ball of fire burning on the sea.
There were also piled wooden boxes that were hit.
These wooden boxes were filled with all kinds of goods. The shells lifted them up, and the porcelain, tea, and spices inside were rolled up and fell to the ground.
There were also warehouses that were blown up, and the flames were blazing, setting the nearby buildings on fire.
The soldiers near the port were particularly miserable. They died under the bombardment before they could react.
However, most of the dead soldiers were soldiers guarding Calcutta.
Those soldiers who returned from Malacca had experienced the bombardment of the Dasong warships, so they reacted very quickly and hid immediately, with few casualties.
With just one round of bombardment, the port of Kolkata turned into a sea of fire, like hell on earth.
Bolt was completely frightened. He had never experienced such a horrible bombardment before. His legs were immediately limp. After struggling for a few times, he couldn't stand up.
"This, this is the battleship of Dasong?" Bolt almost cried when he spoke, looking at the battleship of Dasong, which was still far away from the port.
"That's right." Wesley said coldly, feeling relieved.
In his opinion, this Bolt was completely talking without any pain in his waist.
Now, he was finally taught a lesson by the Dasong people.
However, despite his dissatisfaction with Bolt, he still took advantage of the gap when the Dasong ship's guns were reloading to pull Bolt out of the port.
After all, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the Dasong people, and other personal grudges can be put aside for the time being.
"Boom boom boom..." When he dragged Bolt out more than 30 meters, the second round of bombardment came again.
Wesley hid with Bolt again.
After hiding like this, he finally dragged Bolt to a safe distance.
"Don't worry about the port. It can't be protected. Let the Dasong people blow it up." Wesley said to Bolt, panting slightly, "They are just venting their anger, but they won't land for the time being. I have to go to the eastern border immediately to prevent the Dasong people from attacking from the direction of the Piao Man."
After that, Wesley ignored Bolt and turned to leave.
"Wait." Bolt suddenly stopped Wesley. He was much calmer now.
After thinking for a while, he said, "The situation has changed a lot during your time in Malacca."
Wesley stopped, "What changes?"
Bolt then told him about the Tusman Empire, as well as the affairs of the Northern Di and the Russian Kingdom.
The Tusman Empire's participation in the chaos in the East was naturally caused by their Britain.
Because Britain has maintained a good relationship with the Tusman Empire for a long time.
The two countries even stood together to deal with the Russian Kingdom to prevent the Russian Kingdom from expanding its sphere of influence to the Middle Earth.
After all, this matter is beneficial to both countries.
The Tusman Empire gained hegemony in the Middle Earth, and they Britain protected Tianzhu and avoided the influence from the Russian State.
In order to support the four Tusman countries, they 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 can fight back and forth with the Russian State in the Middle Earth.
It’s just that now a more dangerous enemy than the Russian State has appeared.
Therefore, their queen and parliament decided to let the Tusman Empire and the Russian State put aside their conflicts and concentrate on dealing with Dasong.
Take advantage of the ambitions of the four Tusman countries in the Tianshan region.
Britain and the Russian State facilitated the matter of letting Beidi cede the Tianshan region to Tusman.
In return, the Tusman Empire naturally chose to stand on their side.
After all, if Dasong’s power expands westward, it will inevitably conflict with the Tusman Empire.
And what they eat, they will not spit out easily.
All these things happened in just three months, that is, three months after his intelligence arrived in Britain.
The reason why it was so fast was that they decided to change the traditional way of communication, that is, to transmit intelligence by sea.
After all, the voyage from India to Britain would take four months even for a steamship.
But it is only about 6,000 kilometers from Britain through the Western Continent, and then from the Tusman Empire to India.
It only takes two months for the news from Britain to reach India.
This is why Britain achieved a diplomatic victory in more than three months, bringing them a powerful ally in the Middle Earth and creating a strong enemy for Dasong.
"What a perfect strategy." Wesley's gloomy mood suddenly brightened up, and a smile appeared on his face.
This move is equivalent to connecting the Western Continent and the Middle Earth.
If possible, their army can even enter the Middle Earth from the Western Continent and then reach India.
This kind of long-distance land march is not unprecedented in Britain.
Back then, their army took warships from the Mediterranean to Tusman, and then went from the south of Tusman to the north to fight the Russians.
"Hahaha, this is our unparalleled leadership in Britain. We have been operating the world for more than 300 years. How can a Dasong with only brute force be comparable? Once their brute force is exhausted, Dasong will fall in front of us." Wesley was in high spirits.
In the past few hundred years, they have mainly operated in the New World and the Dark World in the West.
Because of their cultural origins, the two have conflicts and cooperation.
And these are their traditional sphere of influence in the West, and the East is just an undeveloped wilderness for them.
So, even if they lost the area east of Malacca, it was just a pity, but it was not to the point of serious damage.
As for the Strait of Malacca, it was even more regrettable.
For him, it was the first line of defense to prevent the Dasong forces from entering their traditional sphere of influence.
And Tianzhu was the second line of defense.
So, after losing Malacca again, he secretly vowed that he would never lose this second line of defense again.
This pearl on the crown of the Queen of Britain cannot be covered in dust.
