Iron Dynasty

Riesling, Britain has surrendered!

On the ironclad ship, Liu Chen pointed at the British soldiers who came out of the trench. These soldiers all raised their hands above their heads and carried a white flag.

Lei Ming 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 in battle.

Thanks to the emperor, if there was no siege for the past six months, we could not have taken India with a small casualty. Lei Ming looked excited.

He patted Liu Chen's arm heavily, and he continued: Go, go ashore, let's accept the surrender of the European coalition forces.

After saying that, he laughed out loud.

There was also a smile in Liu Chen's eyes. India is the most difficult British bridgehead to break through in the Southeast Asia. Now that this fort is occupied, it means that the entire South China Sea has been included in the empire. From now on, the South China Sea is the back garden of the empire.

Signaling the chief mate, the warship sailed towards the port of Calcutta with the whistle.

In the trenches of the coalition forces, San Yuzhu watched vigilantly at the British soldiers who came up from the trenches.

The surrender of the British made him a little unexpected. He thought that he would not be able to win the trench without a bloody battle, but he obviously overestimated the will of the British to resist in a desperate situation.

Faced with an impossible war, the Europeans chose to surrender.

Carefully monitoring the surrendering British, San Yuzhu ordered the soldiers to separate the surrendering prisoners into custody, while the officers were held alone.

This was done so that enemy officers could not unite the soldiers and avoid unnecessary confusion.

While busy, Lei Ming and Liu Chen who landed on the pier soon reached the front line. At this time, San Yuzhu walked over, gave a military salute and said, Commander, all coalition soldiers have surrendered, except for the dead soldiers, a total of 40,000 surrendered. A thousand people.

Lei Ming returned a military salute, and he said, You have to behave very well. I will ask the emperor for your credit. Where is the supreme commander of the coalition now?

They have been detained alone, and I will bring them here now. Chang Yuzhu replied, and then he ordered the soldiers beside him to bring people.

After a while, the officers of the five countries, including Buterin, were all brought before Lei Ming.

Commander, his name is Buterin, he is the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and everyone else is the supreme commander of each country. San Yuzhu pointed at Buterin with a sullen face.

Lei Ming's brows were raised. Once upon a time they were helpless in the face of the provocation of the British, but now these British can only bow their heads humbly in front of them.

Commander Buterin, now you should understand how stupid it is to fight against the Empire. If Calcutta was handed over earlier, there would be no need for such unpleasant things to happen between us. Thunder said slowly.

His words fell, and the translator translated the passage to Buterin.

Those politicians are really stupid, but I won't admit that this is the failure of our soldiers. If you have your weapons, who will win or lose is uncertain. Buterin said that he was very unwilling to surrender this time, because he even Being able to return to Europe, this defeat is also a stain that cannot be erased in his life.

Lei Ming laughed loudly when he heard the words, he said: Until now you don't understand a truth, the strength of science and technology is a country's fighting ability, are you Europeans holding fire sticks when they conquered the Americas? You can only lament. It's just a role reversal now.

Buterin was silent for a long time. He sighed and said, I hope you can keep your promise and let us go back to Europe.

Of course, our imperial soldiers always speak their minds, but this has to wait until the end of the second negotiation. Lei Ming said.

So many soldiers were captured in Europe in the Battle of India, and at the same time, their interests in the Southeast Asia were lost. The news spread to Europe, and the Europeans would inevitably return to the negotiating table again. At that time, it was time to restructure and divide the global sphere of influence.

Butling felt ashamed for a while, and he naturally understood that the exchange of interests after the war was inevitable.

Let the soldiers lead the officers down, Lei Ming looked at the city of Calcutta in the distance, but this city on the land of India is European-style.

But from now on, the city will officially belong to the Empire, and after Buterin announced its surrender, the British soldiers in Calcutta also chose to surrender.

After patrolling the battlefield, Lei Ming and Liu Chen entered the city of Calcutta, where the British soldiers have now 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.

In particular, the White Tower in the central location of Calcutta was not damaged at all. This White Tower is the British Governor's Palace.

The white pagoda is white as a whole, with a dome in the center, surrounded by a hexagonal white city wall, and there is a minaret at each corner of the city wall. It is said that the British built the white pagoda after gaining a firm foothold in India, so The White Tower was originally used as a bastion.

The British people's business for so many years has now fallen into the hands of the empire. I'm afraid their queen will be mad. Lei Ming was walking on the road paved with bluestone, and he was in a good mood.

That's for sure. The Indian peninsula has a population of over 100 million, 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, Britain will definitely be hurt. There is one more market that can be dumped, and one more food production area, which is enough to improve the life of the people of the empire.” Liu Chen was very excited. At first, his original intention of joining the army was very simple, just to live a good life.

He still thinks so to this day, but in order to make the empire rich to the current level of Europe, in addition to their own food production, they also need the colonies to provide them with supplies.

Only with material abundance can they completely get rid of their previous poverty.

While talking, the two walked to the Governor's Palace.

Now this place has been cleaned up by soldiers, and the governor of Calcutta, Nicholas, has also become their prisoner. Now it has become their temporary office. Sitting down in the former governor's office, Lei Ming's face is full of proud smiles.

However, his smile soon solidified, because he remembered the information provided by the secret guard, so he said to San Yuzhu who was following him: Cao Kun fled to Burma, but there may still be thieves left in Calcutta, and the soldiers must be sent to take them. Catch them, these thieves who eat inside and outside, it's time to clean them up now.

Yes, Commander. Chang Yuzhu responded, and immediately asked the soldiers to search the whole process. As long as they were the remnants of the Merchant Council, they would arrest them for questioning.
