Chapter 285: The Battle Is About to Start [Ask for Subscription]

A burly white man stood up and saluted everyone: "Hello everyone, the Commonwealth of Australia will be your eternal friend." www.biquge.info This time, the Qing government was rude and arrogant to the British Empire, and as friends of the British Empire, we must stand up and help our friends give this pedantic scoundrel a punch! Although our Australian Federation has just been established, we still mobilized 10,000 troops to participate in the war!"

When everyone heard this, they gasped at the same time, this time the battle was originally a matter of the British themselves, and no one wanted to participate in it.

But when the British warships bombarded several ports in China in a row, without any effective resistance, and even landed and robbed a fortune, their eyes were red!

Everyone in the world knows that there is a country in the East, ancient and rich, and very mysterious, so no one wants to brush their beard. But when they found out that the tiger was terminally ill, everyone was tempted by the tiger's wealth. So they joined the British fleet in an attempt to get a piece of the pie. With the fight all the way, the good situation of the battle made everyone eager to try, and they kept sending messages back to China, and all kinds of good news came. These capitalist investors were tempted, so they kept sending more people to support.

Today, the total number of soldiers of the Eight-Nation Coalition has reached 60,000! This is twice as many as originally planned! There are as many as 30,000 people from the island country alone! 10,000 from Australia, 8,000 from the British, and 12,000 from the rest of the other countries.

For the first time in history, on such a huge scale, so many countries have cooperated to attack one country!

In their eyes, this is a gluttonous feast! This oriental country, which they have coveted for a long time, is finally about to be pounced on by them and eaten, and no one wants to be half a step behind.

As for Australia, everyone knows that Australia has just completed the establishment of the state, and their active participation in the war is not only for the sake of food, but also to express themselves, enhance their sense of existence, and strengthen their position in the world. It's a great opportunity to perform, a big stage for him to jump!

Everyone applauded Calvin's arrival, and the Eight-Nation Alliance became the Nine-Nation Alliance! After the 60 fleets were reconciled with the fleets of the Australian fleet, the island fleet, and several other countries, they became a terrifying fleet of 120 warships!

The fleet was so mighty that it was like a great wall on the sea! They believed that without fighting, as long as these warships drove over, they would be able to scare the Qing soldiers into fear and flee.

"General, the situation is a little strange, there is no shadow of the Qing army on the port of Tianjin. Not even a figure can be seen......" Fries reported.

When Seymour heard this, he took out his binoculars and looked at the harbor, but there was no human figure in sight except for the smoke-billowing ruins that they had blown up.

"Haha...... The Qing soldiers were as vulnerable as the intelligence said! It was only a few rounds of shelling, and they were beaten and fled, haha......" Calvin laughed wildly.

Ichiro Oshima of the island country said: "The Qing soldiers were already weak, and their coastal defense was even more of a mess. Our people, without even using warships, can rob their finances, but they can't do anything about it. Moreover, the Qing government was corrupt, incompetent, and cowardly from top to bottom. It seems to me that their army and civilians may well have fled when they heard that we were coming. ”

Pierce hurriedly said: "According to the intelligence, before we arrived, there were already a large number of refugees in Tianjin. The local defenders also withdrew from the city of Tianjin and disappeared. ”

Ichiro Oshima said with a smile: "What do you mean by evacuation? This is clearly an escape! It seems that this time we can land and take Tianjin City without fighting." Hey...... Is this still called war?"

"It's not a war, it's a potluck. Vikchiev laughed.

Everyone laughed.

Seymour, having carefully observed the situation along the coast, gave the order to land!

For a time, more than 100 warships docked one after another, and the troops disembarked from the battleships, like ants, densely packed.

On the top of the mountain, Wang Tian and the others looked at the scene below through the binoculars, and Xu Xiaoshi said: "Brother Yang, didn't you say that they only have 30,000 people? 30,000 people can only land if the navy is removed, right? Why are there so many people? There must be 30,000 or 40,000 people, right?"

"It seems that the information is indeed wrong, and, you see, the flag is new. Yang Luchan pointed to a brand-new national flag below.

Wang Tiandao: "Australia's flag ......" eyes gleam, when he was studying history, a teacher said that the so-called eight-nation alliance is actually not accurate. At the beginning of the entry into Beijing, there was also Australia, which later participated in the war...... Although the timeline is completely incorrect, this time and space is indeed the arrival of the Nine Nations Alliance at the same time! And the number of soldiers who went out to fight far exceeded the number of the Eight Nations Alliance in the world where Wang Tian was located!

And at this moment, this issue is also being discussed in the live broadcast room.

"There must be more than 60,000 of them, right?"

"That's a lot......"

"The king of heaven has only 10,000 soldiers at his disposal. ”

"Not only that, I saw Yang Luchan's sneaky recruitment a few days ago, and the Heavenly King seems to have given him something again. I don't know what the hell these two guys are up to. ”

"It doesn't matter what the hell you do, I only know that more than 60,000 people are not enough to kill. ”

"Hey......

Everyone laughed, no one knows the madness of modern warfare better than them, and once the meat grinder is turned on, no matter how many there are, it is nothing more than minced meat.

On the top of the mountain, Yang Luchan heard the word Australia, which was a little unfamiliar, while Xu Xiaoshi, Dong Haichuan, and Yang Hongxiu had never heard of this country at all. But it doesn't matter, just know it's the enemy!

Yang Luchan said: "The number of people is a bit much, do you want to fight?"

"Ready......" Wang Tiandao.

……

Fang Tao is a native of Tianjin, who used to be a city guard, but he didn't pay his salary for three years, and he almost rioted and revolted. As a result, after changing to a governor of Zhili, he found that not only did the three-year military salary arrive, but also doubled!

In this regard, Fang Tao and his colleagues were grateful to the new governor, and without this money, they would no longer know how to live this day. Is it really a riot? That was a last resort, and perhaps the way out was to finally disarm and return to the fields.

What's more, the new governor did not have an official position, and often led people to patrol the fields, deliver rice and noodles to poor families, send clothes, and even give money to the lonely and widowed elderly.

Such behavior made the local people and soldiers grateful to Dade. Fang Tao's mother has said more than once that he is born as a governor and dies as a ghost of the governor! If he does something sorry for the governor, he will find a place to kill him! )
