West Asia, Arabian Sea, Port of Aden.

Twenty-one years ago, the small village, located at the confluence of the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea, was occupied by British troops, and the British East India Company established a coal depot here as a refueling point for steamship voyages. Ten years ago, the growing port of Aden was opened up as an overseas free port of the British Empire, with two cargo terminals and a population of more than 12,000 people, becoming a veritable seaport city.

Now, after years of development, the port of Aden, which is located at the confluence of the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean, is the transportation artery of the British Empire from India through the Red Sea and then transshipped to the Mediterranean Sea by land to reach Europe, and has developed into one of the most important overseas ports of the British Empire.

Recently, however, due to the Chinese Empire's declaration of war on Britain and the blockade and occupation of the Indian Ocean by the Chinese Empire, the number of ships passing through the Gulf of Aden has been greatly reduced, and the Gulf of Aden has become much more depressed.

On this day, a small clipper ship sailed into the harbor like an arrow, and when it approached the dock, two young men in London sailors' suits rushed off the ship and broke directly into the newly built customs house by the dock.

Arthur, the colonel of the British garrison in Aden, was stupefied by the sudden words of two young men who looked like sailors.

He had heard about the declaration of war by the Chinese Empire on the British Empire, and for this reason he paid close attention to the news from the Indian Ocean in the East.

"Not only was the island of Ceylon occupied by the forces of the Chinese Empire, but even all the ports along the coast of Madras in southern India and the city of Kolkata were captured by the navy and army of the Chinese Empire."

The two sailors escaped from a village 50 miles from Calcutta, and had escaped because they were not inside the city of Calcutta. After learning the news that the British army in Calcutta had been annihilated and that Calcutta had been captured, he hurriedly disguised himself as a sailor and fled from Bengal on a merchant ship, and hurried to the port of Aden, which was controlled by the British Empire, which was closest to London. But even so, more than half a month has passed.

"What!?" Colonel Arthur was stunned! He kept a close eye on the news from India, but all he was waiting for was the news of the British Empire's defeat of the clown in the East, and at most, as in previous years, the Governor of Canning was in a hurry to send a telegram to London asking for help through the port of Aden to Athens or Istanbul in the Mediterranean, never thinking that the city of Calcutta in the British Empire would be captured by the Chinese Empire! How is this possible? Not long ago, Governor Canning reported to London that there were 80,000 troops of the British Empire stationed in the city of Calcutta.

"Colonel, the fleet artillery of the Oriental people is unbelievably strong, the city of Calcutta is in ruins, and the 80,000 troops stationed in the British Empire, under the joint siege of the Eastern Army, the Bengali rebels, and the Burmese army, more than half of them were killed and wounded, and less than half of the remaining surrendered to the Eastern Army, and the entire 80,000 army was completely annihilated!"

The words of the British soldier, dressed as a sailor, made Colonel Arthur completely devastated. As an officer of the British Empire, he felt as if the world was apocalyptic.

It's unbelievable! It's horrible! In this way, the sun never set on the British Empire, will it become a thing of the past? Colonel Arthur knew that with the loss of Calcutta, it would mean the loss of all of India for the British Empire. Without the Indian colony, the British Empire is bound to suffer a great loss of national strength, and it may not even be called the Kingdom of Great Britain, so it can only be called the Kingdom of Britain.

With sorrow and regret for the British Empire, with nostalgia for the lost glory, with an unacceptable sense of this fact, Colonel Arthur quickly sent a small, fastest steam sail clipper to bring back to Europe the whole news that had made the whole Kingdom of Great Britain cry.

He repeatedly told one of the captains in charge of the matter to ensure that within eight days he arrived in Athens, Greece, or Ottoman Istanbul, where there was a telegraph office that could be used directly to London.

He knew that with the news of this, the situation in the world would change dramatically. It is hard for Colonel Arthur to imagine how Europe will shake and how the Kingdom of Great Britain will face this unacceptable shocking news! Arthur, who had sent off the messenger, stood on the dock, looking at the sails that had turned into small black dots in the distance, still unwilling to withdraw his sad and hopeful gaze......

......

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Looking at the battle report from Wei Jun of India, who was transferred from Saigon, Feng Yunshan was pleasantly surprised. And beside him is Fu Shanxiang, who gave birth to her second child, and two months ago, she returned to become Feng Yunshan's personal assistant.

Seeing that the emperor, who had always been plain and quiet, was overjoyed, Fu Shanxiang asked intimately: "What is the happy event that makes Your Majesty so happy?" ”

Feng Yunshan handed the battle report in his hand to Fu Shanxiang, he was going to show it to her, and his current happy mood urgently needed a caring person to share.

"Oh my God! Your Majesty, General Wei Jun led his army to annihilate the 80,000 troops of Yingyi in Calcutta, occupied Calcutta, and the Yingyi Governor in India, Canning, surrendered to General Wei Jun on behalf of Yingyi? Although he knew that it was a great joy, but when he saw this stunned news, Fu Shanxiang still couldn't hold back a burst of exclamation: "Your Majesty, is this true?" Didn't you always say that the British Empire was the world's largest power, and with only 20,000 troops, it crossed thousands of miles across the ocean to defeat the Manchu Dynasty and cut the land for peace. Such a powerful country, with an army of 80,000, would be defeated by General Wei Jun's total of more than 50,000 or 60,000 imperial soldiers? ”

Feng Yunshan pinched Fu Shanxiang's face, felt the creamy and tender skin, and said with a smile: "Military affairs, how can it be child's play." How can this military report from the front be fake? Aifei didn't know that although it was true that the British Empire was the most powerful country in the world, he had recently been in deep trouble, with continuous internal rebellions, and his national strength had been greatly damaged.

At the beginning, the British Empire's army was able to defeat the Manchus because it was well-trained and advancedly armed, and now the Chinese Imperial Field Army is also well-trained and more advanced than the British army, how can they win? Moreover, Wei Jun's 50,000 or 60,000 people are the elite of the six fields, and I heard that there are many Japanese soldiers among them, and they are extremely desperate, so I have to find a way to use them well. In addition, the 80,000 troops of the British army were not only defeated by Wei Jun's tens of thousands, but also 200,000 Bengali rebels and the Burmese army to help in the battle. ”

Feng Yunshan looked at the beauty in front of him, after giving birth to two children, he became more and more mature and charming, and he couldn't help but move in his heart. As he spoke, the work in his hand did not stop for a moment, and it began to slide down his cheeks and down his neck.

Fu Shanxiang wanted to refuse and wanted to push Feng Yunshan's hand away, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what people are talking about is a serious military intelligence report, but you are so dishonest. Moreover, the concubine is not only your concubine now, but also your political assistant, and we still have to discuss the matter. ”

Feng Yunshan laughed, withdrew the work in his hand, and said, "Okay, then listen to Concubine Ai, and leave Concubine Ai to serve me in the evening, this great victory must be celebrated." ”

When Fu Shanxiang heard this, his face suddenly turned shy, which made Feng Yunshan feel uneasy again.

Fortunately, Liu Shengbang's voice sounded outside the door, which made him settle down: "Your Majesty, the adults of the General Staff and the Admiralty have arrived. ”

Zuo Zongtang and Mao Qi of the General Staff, Luo Xuan and Liang Peiyou of the Admiralty walked in one after another with smiles on their faces, and when they saw Feng Yunshan, they fell to the ground and bowed: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and our army has won a great victory in Calcutta." After that, our Chinese Empire defeated Yingyi and officially became a world power! ”
