Chapter 751: The Indian Ocean Sweeps

There is not just one line of access to the Atlantic, but two.

This is also the reason why Maike has placed the connection point in the Maldives, because here the midpoint of the two lines.

From the Maldives, a line leads to the Cape of Good Hope in southwestern Africa, where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet.

The other line takes the Gulf of Aden from the Maldives, then enters the Red Sea, passes through the Suez Canal, excludes the obstruction of the coastal Arab and African countries, reaches the Mediterranean Sea, and finally passes through the Strait of Gibraltar to enter Europe.

However, at this time, the Suez Canal was only a historical term, because since the beginning of the dynasty that existed as early as BC, the rulers of successive dynasties have been digging the Suez Canal, but then it was abandoned for various reasons, the most recent one was abandoned almost a hundred years ago, and it has not been restored yet.

According to the historical information available to Mai Ke, some European powers were considering resuming the canal during this period, because it could save about 50 percent of the voyage.

Now to go to Asia and the east coast of Africa, you have to take a detour to the Cape of Good Hope.

The restoration of this canal, if it were to be done by manpower, would take a long time and be costly, which is a huge obstacle that many people have only the idea of, but cannot do it.

In Mai Ke's hands, these two problems are not problems.

Even if he didn't have to move, he could open a canal in a short time, because it had Jonah fish, and where there was no road, they could make a way, and there was a river before, and now it was only dredging and expanding, let alone a canal.

If there is a difficulty that Jonah can not overcome, Mai Ke can also ask Lingxi to move. It is estimated that even if it is a high mountain, it will not be able to stop it.

Therefore, Mai Ke's plan to enter the Atlantic Ocean together is guaranteed to be realized, and it has been booked a long time ago.

Not only is the road ready, but also the naval forces.

Wen Fu's fleet had already taken the Philippines, and David's Pacific Fleet was concentrated in the center of the Pacific Ocean, and Mai Ke asked the two fleets to come together, leaving only a few warships behind.

Actually, it's okay if you don't stay. The Celestial Army has enough land power to protect those holy cities. The possibility of an attack by the enemy at sea is minimal.

Now the naval divisions of the Celestial Army are in an absolute advantage, and they have been taking an aggressive offensive, in which the enemy can protect himself from being attacked and defeated. It's already good. Where is the ability to attack the Celestial Army?

The large fleet of Wen Fu and David Pang advanced westward. At the same time, it is also a test of the success of the transoceanic passage that Mai Ke has just built.

Mai Ke has calculated that from the center of the Pacific Ocean, to the Maldives. It spans about sixty degrees of longitude in the middle, and is not far from the equator, one longitude is about a hundred kilometers, and the distance between all two places is about six thousand kilometers.

The passage designed by Mai Ke has a speed of 3,000 kilometers per hour, and it takes two hours to reach it if it is all along the way, and Mai Ke is waiting in this Maldives.

When he was in correspondence with David and Wen Fu, Mai Ke had already told them that all warships would use the transoceanic channel, and if there was a problem, there would be no problem to meet and talk.

After the arrival of these two fleets, four fleets were concentrated in the Indian Ocean: the Napoleonic fleet, which had previously come from France, and the high-ranking fleet, which had previously come to England.

The two fleets from the Pacific Ocean came from the West, one of which was Wenfu's, which was started by pirates, and the other was the David's fleet, the main force of which was the combined fleet of Europe.

Of course, there is also the fleet on the Ganges, led by Peter, the commander-in-chief of the water forces of the Celestial Army, who is close to the goddess Ganges, who is temporarily not involved in the war in the Indian Ocean.

Waiting for the arrival of the new fleet, Mai Ke was not idle, he first contacted the master and asked how his fleet was progressing in sweeping the cities along the coast of the Indian Ocean.

The fleet of the masters was newly surrendered to the Celestial Army, and after meeting with Mai Ke and others in Dhaka, they went all the way down from Karachi to take the coastal cities of India.

He reported to Mai Ke that he had gone fairly smoothly there, winning three or four large cities and a dozen small cities; interestingly, the large cities were easier to obtain, while the small and medium-sized cities were more troublesome.

Mai Ke asked him the reason, and only then did he know that the big cities all had the Anglo-British coalition army led by Gao Fu, and they had received a notice from Gao Fu, asking them to cooperate with Gao Ren's navy to seize the city where they were located.

And those small and medium-sized cities, generally not garrisoned by the regular army of the Anglo-Indian coalition army, are all local troops, as well as the local religious forces, all the soldiers, if you don't do it well, they will play with your life!

When Mai Ke asked him if he had resolutely implemented the four basic policies of the Kingdom of Heaven, he smiled and said that in most cases, he had implemented them quite well, and in a few cases, especially when the casualties were relatively large, there were occasional violations.

Mai Ke pondered for a while, feeling that his violation of the policy was self-examination and self-reporting, and it was not appropriate to severely criticize and punish him, but he couldn't pass without incident, so he gave him a strict warning.

At the same time, he was warned not to underestimate the importance of this policy, nor to fail to understand the severity of violating the policy, otherwise, the nature of our army will change, and like those secular warlords, we will sacrifice the interests of others for the sake of personal interests, and harm the interests of others for the sake of personal gain.

When he encounters such a situation, let him be more aware of what kind of Christian love should be, and if he does not embody such Christian love in his actions, will he not confuse himself with the world?

Only then did the master realize the strictness of the problem, and promised to pay special attention in the future, and it was strictly forbidden to repeat it.

"Mai Ke, are you a priest?" asked the master at the end.

"How do you know?" Mai Ke was a little curious.

"To tell you the truth, I also tried to be a pastor, but I didn't succeed, so I switched to the army, and it was very difficult for us to be a pastor, and it was very difficult to get started, and the curriculum and conduct were very strict, and by looking at your understanding and application of the Bible, I knew that you had the gift of a pastor. ”

"Haha, you guessed right, I have passed the pastor exam for less than half a year, and I am still far behind. ”

I haven't heard of the priest exam! The master was a little puzzled, but he didn't continue to hold on. Just muttered something in a small voice.

Mai Ke was taken aback, cough! Why did I come up with such a sentence? If he didn't have the priest exam there, or hadn't introduced the priest exam to the church, wouldn't he be suspicious?

It's okay to be suspicious, but it's not very troublesome to always ask, and I have to cover it up with lies, so I can't tell him that I'm from the United States in the 21st century.

Then he went to Napoleon and told him to finish here. Continue to sweep all the islands within the Indian Ocean range. Regardless of whether there is anyone or not, all of them will plant the flag of heaven.

In fact, this is also what Mai Ke prepared in advance, and he knows that many small ones have not been inhabited yet. But it will soon become a colonial target for some European countries.

What's more. Mai Ke knows that these places have discovered and potential military and economic value!

And these flags. It is said to be a flag, but it is actually a piece of alloy that weighs about five tons. Four large characters are cast on the top, "Heavenly Territory", and the date and place are written below.

The date will be the actual landing time of the Heavenly Navy, and the place will be the name of the island.

In order not to add additional burden to the ship, these alloy flags were transported by Lingxi, which was actually prepared by it, including the handwriting on them.

After these things were done, Wen Fu and David's vast fleet arrived with a bang!

Together with Mai Ke, Napoleon witnessed the maiden voyage of this transoceanic passage!

I saw trillions of tons of seawater emptied up, as high as 100 zhang, from east to west, like a giant dragon soaring, just like ten thousand horses galloping...... Ahem! Actually, I don't know how many more spectacular than these adjectives!

Mai Ke couldn't describe it, and Napoleon had no words, so he could only express his feelings with the unseen, the unprecedented, and the unimaginable.

The fleet that came roaring like this stopped as soon as it was said, and the next moment it stopped in front of the two of them, which was the location of the temporary end point.

Napoleon came to the transoceanic passage to see how this guy worked, and he actually transported thousands of warships at the same time, not to mention the huge weight, and the speed reached 3,000 kilometers per hour!

On the surface, Napoleon saw only a thick cylinder, and he knew that this was the source of electricity, and these power sources were all matched, and the sea water along the way was an inexhaustible source of electricity.

Underneath the warship is a huge pallet, on which all warships are parked, if the trailer consigns the car.

And under this pallet is the roller device, which is driven by electricity, which is the power of the transoceanic channel.

It's not a fantastic way to roll forward, and there are vehicles on land that use this principle, and it's amazing how fast it is!

At the same time, it is incredible that there are such high speeds that ensure safety and protection from damage to all kinds of equipment.

Mai Ketong guò Lingxi moved and solved two key elements.

The first element is that the power is very strong, otherwise it would not be possible to push such a huge weight.

There are 1,000 ships in total, each weighing 10,000 tons, and 10,000 tons of personnel, weapons, ammunition, equipment, etc., each with a total of 20,000 tons, a total of 20 million tons.

The second element is that it moves quickly, and the huge weight will cause high temperatures, and there must be effective means of cooling, and the most important thing in the sea is seawater, so put this power transmission device on the bottom of the water, and it will form a natural cooling.

Of course, bearings, light rails, etc. are very demanding, but this does not have to worry about Mai Ke, and Lingxi can solve it by himself.

At this time, Mai Ke had already negotiated with David and Wen Fu, Wen Fu would take the Suez Canal, in order to open up the canal, Mai Ke equipped him with 300 treaties to take fish, and Little Jonah personally led the team!

David walked along the Cape of Good Hope, and then was responsible for capturing the coastal cities of Southwest and West Africa, while East Africa was left to the Masters and Napoleon.

The two clarified the division of labor, and the spirit rhino immediately started, dividing into two strands, one to the southwest and the other to the northwest, and galloped away.

Then the two fleets, naturally, parted and quickly followed their own way.

Napoleon howled all his life and led his fleet to pounce on the islands scattered in India, and Mai Ke also helped him, and all the distant islands were sent over with a spirit rhino.

In a short time, Napoleon occupied dozens of islands and planted the flag of the Kingdom of Heaven! .
