Chapter 11043: Blissful Paradise
Vertigo! A wave of vertigo!
Too much information poured in, so that Chen Huacheng's brain was about to shut down again. That sea battle turned out to be like this, eight to eight......
All seven small and medium-sized warships were destroyed, seven capital ships were incapacitated, and at least 3,000 people were lost. The main force of the entire Grand Fleet has only 37 warships, and after deducting seven small and medium-sized warships, there are only 30 capital ships, which is more than half of the casualties.
"Brother Ye Zhang! Brother Ye Zhang! What happened to you? Guan Tianpei next to him called out repeatedly.
"I'm fine, it's just that my head is messy...... Chen Huacheng didn't know what to say all of a sudden, he touched his head with his left hand that could still move, there was a thick bandage wrapped on it, and his head hurt badly, but fortunately, this pain came from the outside flesh.
Guan Tianpei's expression was a little gloomy, and when he talked about the heavy price of the capital ship, he was also very uncomfortable. The Europeans retreated on their own initiative, but when it comes to who won and who lost, it really can't be judged so easily that China won.
The latter still has seven capital ships heavily damaged, and what will be the condition of the remaining capital ships of the former? They can all drive away, right? And not too obviously left behind?
However, no matter what the specific losses of the Europeans were, Ye Tingyang set sail again with fifteen capital warships after leading the team back to the 'base' to rest for three days.
The latest results have not yet come back, all Guan Tianpei can do is pray, praying that Ye Tingyang will not kick the iron plate.
"Captain Guan, you need to leave now. General Chen has just woken up and needs a good rest. The paramedics came in and said. He held a tray in his hand, and in the plate was a water cup with a hose connected to the rim, allowing Chen Huacheng to drink water without opening his mouth.
"Rest well! I'll come back to see you tomorrow! Chen Huacheng felt a thick hand gently pat his left hand, followed by the sound of chairs moving and footsteps, and he didn't even have the ability to turn his head to watch his friend leave, and finally the friction of the door opening and closing.
It seemed sunny outside, but when the door closed, his eyes dimmed again. Then a habit was inserted into his end, the medic no longer needed to hang the water cup on the shelf, Chen Huacheng had regained his meaning, and he could suck it gently. Although it takes more energy on him, it will make his body function more quickly.
Chen Huacheng was very thirsty, he didn't feel thirsty before, but now when the straw was stuffed into his mouth, he suddenly developed an extreme thirst for water. It's like a dry corpse in the desert that has been thirsty for a month!
Chen Huacheng fell into a coma again, and he tried again and again to absorb Yun. Then he had a dream, and in his sleep he saw a large and majestic warship, with a huge turret on its bow, and a thick and long barrel sticking out of the turret, and a red flag flying in the wind on the top of the high mast, which was the Silver Shark.
Dozens of warships sailed out of the harbor in order, and behind them, countless officers and men lined up to watch them leave.
The soldiers on the battleship were silent one by one, but there was a kind of seriousness between their eyebrows, and at this moment, Chen Huacheng somehow felt a desire for battle suddenly swelled in his heart, and there was a feeling of blood boiling.
The battle begins in the next instant.
The cannon spewed dazzling flames, and heavy shells smashed into opponents or flew towards themselves.
The opponents of the battleships were also battleships, first several battleships, and then a group of battleships. Several of the enemy's warships were particularly large, with four gun decks and massive bodies that were visibly larger than the Silver Shark.
The sea was filled with cannon smoke. The Silver Shark bravely circled behind the big guys' butts, and then it was surrounded by a group of small and medium-sized warships. Enemy ships continued to fire at the Silver Shark, and the shells fell into the water and blasted up columns of water several meters high, and the Silver Shark, which had just been clean and tidy, suddenly turned into a miserable scene of smoke, flames, and people covered in blood......
Chen Huacheng woke up again, and was woken up by a rumbling sound, which sounded like the roar of a summer thunderstorm, which seemed far away, but if you listened carefully, you would find that there was a difference between that rumbling sound and the thunder of nature - no matter how powerful the thunderstorm was, it was impossible for him to ring more than ten times when his mind was spinning. It's a cannon!
Chen Huacheng struck a fierce spirit in his heart: Could it be that the Europeans have called?!
He remembered some things Guan Tianpei had told him, Ye Tingyang had already taken the remaining main force of the fleet to the Falklands. And now the Europeans have pushed back to the east entrance of the Strait of Magellan, does this mean that Ye Tingyang and they not only failed, but also likely to be a fiasco, or even a total annihilation.
Thinking of this, Chen Huacheng sat up with difficulty, and regardless of whether he could still help so much for the battle, he had to at least take a look outside now.
But Chen Huacheng couldn't sit up at all, he used his left hand to support the bed, and then stood up, as a result, the two hundred and six bones on his body were desperately sending out a 'strike' signal.
Chen Huacheng couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, is he a waste person now?
"Squeak~~" The door was opened. Guan Tianpei limped in.
"Zhongyin, it's ...... outside"
Guan Tianpei's face appeared in front of Chen Huacheng's eyes, and his face was filled with a relaxed smile. Chen Huacheng knew that his prediction might be wrong.
"Admiral Ye has already returned with the fleet. The Europeans fought another battle with our troops outside the Falklands, and neither side sank ships. "But that's not the point, the point is that in this battle, there are no more European main warships leaving the port than the Chen Han fleet. It was his small and medium-sized warships that gave the Europeans the initiative.
But no matter what, Chen Huacheng can rest assured that he can cultivate boldly. In the shelling just now, it was still the warships in the bay welcoming the returning fleet.
Chen Huacheng was relieved, and he couldn't help but smile on his face. The remaining forces of the Europeans could not form an excessive advantage over the Chen-Han Grand Fleet, which was great news. This proves that in the previous naval battles, the Europeans also suffered heavy losses.
Then, this battle is worth it for Chen Han.
Although the outcome of that battle did not completely destroy the Europeans' confidence in naval warfare, it was enough to make the entire monotheistic world feel fear.
Ye Tingyang is now looking forward to the news being able to reach Europe as soon as possible. He believed that the faces of the Europeans at that time would be very good-looking......
……
As the wars between the Americas and Northeast Europe spread across the globe, the situation for them and their allies on the subcontinent grew worse as the British became more deeply involved in the Americas and Russia.
For the Marathas, who are in decline, it has been a terrible time. Chen Han did not let the kingdoms of Gurkha, Sikh, Mysore and other kingdoms attack the British in Bengal, Chen Ming just let his group of younger brothers attack the Marathas.
Although the latter has been beaten several times, he still controls most of North India and a large area of Central India, and controls the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Although the latter is also a state, it occupies one-tenth of India's territory, has fertile land and a developed economy, and is as important to India as the Central Plains is to China. Empires in India's history were formed by whether or not they brought Madhya Pradesh under their rule.
Nowadays, the Sikhs from the northwest, Mysore from the southeast, the Gurkha from the north, and even Ladakh, which has just unified Kashmir, are eager to tear off a piece of meat from the Marathas.
Although the price of Dalak's unification of Kashmir was to cede Gilgit and Baltistan to Chen Han, the land area is only a small size larger than Dalak's old land, and a part of the land in the northeast of the original space-time Pakistan Railway, which is enough for Dalak to digest.
After all, this small country attached to Tibet is not much stronger than Bhutan in itself. It was not easy for Chen Han to help it up.
After seizing Jammu, the kingdom of Dalak is not smaller than that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with a population of more than 2 million, and a large number of Tibetans have migrated here from Tibet, because the central government has completely absorbed Tibet in the early years, and many Tibetan nobles and monks have come to Dalak. Chen Ming is not very domineering, if you feel unaccustomed, go to Dalak, he does whatever you want. Anyway, they are all descendants of Tibetans, and even after Gilgit and Baltistan were accepted by Chen Han, many local nobles and people were sent to Dalak, and the population of the current Dalak Kingdom has increased from less than 300,000 to more than 2 million.
Except for the absence of a leader of the faith, several Hutuketu are all circled in the interior, and Darak is very obedient.
The capital became Srinagar and the capital was moved. Geographically, it is located in the northwest of South Asia, bordering southern Tibet in the east, and the Sikh kingdom that has established itself in the west.
After all, Dalak is not very big, but he is the big brother of Bhutan and Sikkim, and their boss is very influential in Gurkha, and the influence of Hinduism in Gurkha has been declining over the years, and has been pressed down by Buddhist Tantra. On top of that, several of their great khultuktu were also influential in the Chen-Han region, including the four Mongol khanates further north, and the three Kazakh khanates, which had gained momentum over the years.
The Sikh kingdom is a strong army, far superior in strength to Dalak, but it also regards Dalak as a comparable force, and that is because of this.
To the south of the kingdom of Dalak is the traditional North Indo-Indian dynasty, a stone's throw from Delhi. To the north are the Seven Khanates of Central Asia, which are absolute allies.
Chen Han used enough support to include the two pieces of land here in Gilgit and Baltistan into his territory, but there was no big obstacle. Those two pieces of land didn't belong to Dahlak in the first place, so they didn't care.
That's why creation makes people.
In 1834, the Sikh Kingdom invaded Ladakh, and Ladakh appealed to the Tibetan minister for help, but was defeated in 1835, and then incorporated into the Kashmir region of the Sikh Empire. Then, in 1845, the British defeated the Sikh Kingdom, and Kashmir became a state of British India. Grand Duke Gulabh Singh, a loyal dog of the British, has also re-established his family's name in India.
But now the Sikh Kingdom and Dahlak have become allies of steel.
This time, the Sikh kingdom used troops against the Marathas, and Dalak moved faster than Sikh. When it comes to hugging the thighs and stammering Nanjing, the Gurkha are not as good as Dalak.
The regular army of the Dahlak Kingdom has more than 30,000 people, and the strength of a Praetorian Division guards the lair, and more than 20,000 people were dispatched to attack India, two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade, which can be described as ineffective.
It is impossible for the army to be all Buddhists, because the population of more than 2 million people in Dahlak is not only Buddhists, but also Celestials, Hindus, and even some Sikhs.
The political dynamics of Dahlak are Buddhists> Sikhs> Celestials> Hindus, and even the ranks of the military. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Darak army, just like the Tibetan army back then, is very much.
Among the 20,000-strong troops, in terms of combat effectiveness, there are still two Gurkha battalions in each of the two infantry brigades.
Chen Handu recruited the Gurkha as thugs, and the Dalaks, who were not strong in combat, also recruited mercenaries in the Gurkha early. In the previous battles, the Gurkha made great contributions to Darak.
Leh, the old capital of Dahlak.
A pair of brothers were eating barley and glutinous rice cakes while talking about things.
"Really give so much money?" The younger brother looked at the elder brother in surprise.
I was deeply surprised by the number that my brother had just spit out of his mouth, at least fifty yuan a month, which was much higher than his father's monthly income from his hard work over the mountains and mountains. My younger brother, who had never cared about how much he was paid as a soldier, was shocked. However, the younger brother's eyes contained sorrow in the blink of an eye, the salary of fifty yuan is very high, but this is to let his brother work hard.
"What's the hell? It's been a long time since the war was fought, do you hear how many dead sons there are in the city? It was the Gurkhas, who died and died, with higher salaries and wartime allowances. You put your heart in your belly.
Study well in school and try to get into a Chinese university. Third-rate schools there are also stronger than Srinagar University. "What's more important is that a diploma from a Chinese university is more valuable.
In a Tibetan-style house in Leh, two red-faced Deji raised their heads to look at the eldest brother Pubu Dunzhu, full of entanglement.
He knew why the eldest brother was telling him this today, Pubu Dunzhu was here to save him living expenses. Deji's grades were very good, and the Han teachers in the school praised Deji very much, thinking that Deji had the strength to go to China. And if Deji can really be admitted to a Chinese university, there is no need to worry about the tuition fee, Chinese universities have preferential treatment for international students from subject countries, and the Leh government will also contribute a sum of money to sponsor Deji, but what about living expenses?
Dalak's consumption level is much worse than China's.
"No, I can't. It's still too dangerous. I'd rather go to the University of Srinagar...... "although China is really, really attractive. It was like Europe and the United States in the early days of the reform, and it was a paradise that countless people wanted to go to.
"Don't be stupid. Since Mr. Luo said that you can be admitted to a Chinese school, you have to work hard in China. The University of Srinagar is far worse. Only if you are admitted to a Chinese university can you have a good future......" Pubuton Zhu categorically rejected his brother's idea, looking into Deji's eyes as if he was looking at a big fool.
What's wrong with this brother's head? What a smart person on weekdays, why are you stupid at this time? This is an opportunity to go to China, and you should not miss it.
In China in the 80s and 90s, how many people would rather abandon their families and children and let go of everything to go abroad. So how many people are willing to go to China now, China is the paradise of paradise that countless Dalak people dream of.
Even being a turtle is much more brilliant than a turtle. 10
