Iron Dynasty

December 24th.

After Lei Ming completely occupied the city of Bull, Yue Yun gave the order to advance to Calcutta.

After two days of sailing, the mighty fleet arrived off the coast of Kolkata, and the news reached the Governor's Palace in Kolkata as soon as possible.

The fleet of the Chinese Empire did not pass through Malacca, but bypassed directly from the southern side of Malaysia. This can only indicate a problem. I am afraid that Jakarta has fallen.

Inside the Governor's Palace, Buterin explained pessimistically to the army commanders of the other four countries.

boom!

Buterin's voice fell, and a blond-haired youth slapped the table with a slap.

The Chinese Empire is deceiving people too much. For the sake of these colonies, we have been operating for a hundred years, and now they are nibbling away at them. If we can't curb their greed, I am afraid that our colonies around the world will fall into their hands. The young man said loudly.

Klaus is so right, and that's what we're here for, isn't it? I really hope this damn war ends soon. Nicholas said gruffly with a pipe in his mouth.

The five-nation coalition forces gathered here, and he, the governor of Calcutta, had an arduous task, because only the coordination of various aspects gave them a headache.

The most important thing is that all the Dutch colonies are now lost, so the food supply all falls on the head of the United Kingdom, which makes him very unhappy.

Buterin laughed: The only way for the war to end is for us to slap the crap of the Chinese Empire, or be spanked by them.

Then he looked at the young man. The young officer was named Ferrin. The young officer was from the Netherlands. His father was Eifel, the governor of Yaqda. That's why Ferrin was so angry after hearing his analysis.

We must have beaten them up. Fei Lin seemed rather impatient, Now the fleet of the Chinese Empire is at the mouth of the Ganges, hand over the command of the fleet to me, and I will definitely sink them all.

Hahaha... Do young people only talk big these days? Even an excellent admiral like Wilson has lost to the hands of the Chinese Empire. Could it be that you can command the fleet as a kid with no hair?, sitting across from the round table said the bearded officer sarcastically.

Filin's face turned red, the bearded man was the Spanish Admiral Corbanci, who was quite famous in Europe.

Portugal and France's generals also gave out suppressed smiles at this time, all mocking Fei Lin's self-control.

Buterin frowned, the five-nation alliance seems to be very powerful, but the contradictions in it can be seen even by a fool.

Now no one wants to lose their strength to go to war with the Empire, and for this reason, no one is willing to hand over their fleet to Ferrin's command.

With a slight 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 What we face is losing all of Asia's interests.

In this case, it is better to let the British and French fleets be the vanguards. Now Asia only has your interests, not ours.

Corbanci said rudely again, which made both Filin and the Portuguese officer nodded slightly.

Nicholas showed dissatisfaction, If you are so insincere, our cooperation will be terminated. After occupying India, the goal of the Chinese Empire is Africa. If I remember correctly, your colonies in Africa are also not. Little, the slave trade has also made you a lot of money, as well as North and South America, the greed of the Chinese Empire is unlimited, and we have worked so hard for hundreds of years to benefit you so willingly?

The officers of the other four countries fell silent at this time.

Nicholas continued: The Chinese Empire is against the whole of Europe, and now Tsarist Russia is also on our side. In order to cope with the rise of the Chinese Empire, the union of Europe is not far away.

If that's the case, then let's choose the person who will lead the fleet. Corbansey said, I vote for myself, only I have experience in large-scale naval battles here.

Corbansi's voice fell, and the other three raised their hands, while Feilin hesitated and raised his hand, he knew that he was not as good as Corbansi after all.

Okay, then the admiral of the combined fleet is Mr. Corbansey, so do you have any suggestions now? Buterin was a little excited.

Corbasi pondered for a while, and said: According to the information, the warships of the Chinese Empire are all ironclad ships, and all the failures of the last coalition forces were so complete because they encountered the rampage of the ironclad ships, and our artillery shells could not even break through each other's ships. armor.

Yes, that's what the escaped crew said, Nicholas said.

Corbanci smiled gloomily, and said: Obviously, fighting this fleet head-on is self-defeating. If Jakarta falls, it means that all fifty battleships have sunk, then with the battleship that just arrived, we will There are one hundred and fifty 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 side battle, then we still have a slight victory. hope.

This is a good idea. Buterin glanced at Corbansey with admiration. If we can win like this, maybe we can capture all the ironclads.

The others also showed admiration and nodded.

After agreeing on a plan to attack the Imperial battleship, Buterin immediately announced his disbandment, allowing Corbansey to prepare for tonight's raid.

According to their plan, after night fell, Corbansi led the fleet to drift down the Ganges River. During the day, they had already detected the location and distance of the imperial battleship through observation posts, so they could also find the specific location in the dark.

Prepare the eagle hooks, and throw the eagle hooks on the imperial battleship as soon as it hits. Corbansy instructed carefully.

The crew nodded in the dark. Although they couldn't see each other's faces, they were very excited. If they could capture the ironclad ship, they would really make a fortune.

It's just that their illusions were quickly pierced by bright beams, and just as they were about to approach the ironclad, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shone from the ironclad, exposing them completely.

Corpansi tried his best to open his eyes, and the beam of light illuminated their ships as bright as day. He was suddenly cold and his hair stood up.

Boom boom boom...

Before he could react, countless fires lit up in the darkness, and then he saw that the battleships he led became fireballs in the explosion.

PS: After reading yesterday’s chapter, I feel a little helpless. Everyone may have misunderstood the snail’s request for leave that day. The snail said to make up for it in two days and three shifts, not that it was made up yesterday and today. According to the snail’s plan, it is the end of the National Day. I will make it up in the next two days on the 8th and 9th, please forgive me.
