Chapter 10: The Lost Channel

A super tsunami caused by a cataclysmic change in the earth's crust cut off the Indian Ocean's shipping routes to Asia, forcing an unknown number of fleets to suspend sailing, and of course, some unlucky merchant ships were swallowed up in the disaster.

Among the blocked merchant ships was the British fleet, and they were going to Xiangdao.

Luckily, they had just walked to the middle of the Indian Ocean when the tsunami occurred, but the energy of the tsunami was mainly divergent to the east, and the tsunami on this side of the Indian Ocean was relatively weak.

The British fleet was glad that it had not suffered the catastrophe and almost encountered the unfortunate tsunami.

After the tsunami, British merchant ships continued on their way and just arrived in Malacca today.

The Strait of Malacca disappeared, and with many fleets anchored in the port of Singapore, everyone was at a loss, stunned by the great change in the Pacific Ocean.

Since this great change can make the Strait of Malacca disappear, then this change will definitely not be small, and the sea route ahead will definitely not be small.

The situation ahead is unclear, and you can't act rashly, and some smart people immediately think of satellites, and you won't know if you look at satellite charts.

Unfortunately, the satellite can't solve the problem, and I don't know if it's a satellite failure or other reasons, the satellite is very insensitive.

Finally, the satellite signal was received, but the picture was blurry.

Now it's a big trouble, do you have to be trapped in Singapore?

It was at this time that Hao Han issued a statement that he had discovered the island and claimed sovereignty over the island.

It was later revealed that new islands had risen in the Pacific Ocean.

It was so lively that people looked at the picture and thought that this island had blocked the passage of North Asia.

Hao Han, this guy is very bad, he actually filmed the strait between the two islands in clouds and mist, unclear, these people don't touch the situation, thinking that there is no channel at all.

Look at this guy, it's bad!

Nima, what is this? Do you want the merchant fleet to go around the Pacific Ocean and turn around the Great Austria?

At this point, there was nothing anyone could do, some people were scurrying around like ants on a hot pot, and some merchant fleets were in contact with the country to discuss what to do next, and they couldn't stay in Xingapo forever.

Whether to go back the way they came, or to stay here and continue to wait for news, the fleets of all countries stranded in Xinjiapo could not make up their minds.

The British fleet docked at the docks, and soon found out the exact news, and Captain David could not make up his mind, so he went to the British embassy in Singapore to find an acquaintance.

William, the ambassador at the embassy in Singapo, knew David very well, knew him well, and could not help with such things.

"William, why did you say that such an unfortunate thing happened to me, do you really want to take a big detour to Xiangdao? In that case, this trip will be worth the loss. ”

"David, this is a natural disaster, no one can do anything.

The recent satellites have made it impossible to grasp the situation in the Pacific Ocean, which has made it impossible to grasp the situation in the Pacific Ocean.

David, you can't take any risks, even if you go around the big Olympics, who knows what's ahead? ”

"Are you going to let me bring the goods back? This thing is making a fuss, hey, it's not good for the passing year. ”

"Forget it, let's stay for a few days and see, there is no endless road. You are unlucky, someone is lucky, the world is like this, you look at the so-called Hao Han found an island, became the owner of the island, this guy is lucky. ”

David pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "If it were back then, the British Empire ships sailed over to pinch him to death, and he still wanted to be the owner of the island, let's see if I have a life first." ”

"Hehe, the times are different, and you can't always fight with open fire in peacetime, right? Even if it is robbed, it will not be the turn of Britain, and now the British Empire is no longer as glorious as it used to be, and it is now the world of the people of the United States. ”

When William said this, he also had a sour expression on his face.

"Hold your breath, the declining British Empire. Back then, the British Empire had colonies all over the world, and how glorious it was to claim that the sun never sets on the empire. ”

Just when these two were still remembering the past glory of the British Empire, a person came in from outside the door and said, "Mr. Ambassador, there is another major news, do you want to read it?" ”

"What's the big news"

"Mr. Ambassador, it's still news from that island."

"Look, you have to see, this time to see what the situation is. Let's go, David, come with me and see what news is being released this time. ”

As soon as David saw the news released by the Han Kingdom, he was so happy that he couldn't find the north, Nima, it was really an endless road, and there was a passage left between this archipelago.

As for the establishment of diplomatic relations, it was a matter for the government, and it had nothing to do with him personally, so he simply ignored it.

William was a government official, still savoring the rhetoric of the news.

"William, I'm going to leave in a few days, and there is still a big stall at home, so go early and come back early."

"David, don't be impatient in this matter, how do you know that the sea road can be passed?"

"It looks like a very spacious strait, and the fleet should be able to pass it, right?"

"Don't be impatient, let me inquire first."

William must have gone to Xinjiapo to inquire about the situation, and it happened that the Xinjiapo government signed an agreement on the establishment of diplomatic relations with Han.

Wow, so quickly, the Han State has just released the news of the founding of the country, and Xinjiapo immediately established diplomatic relations with it.

On the recommendation of Xinjiapo, William met with Song Weibao, the foreign minister of the Han Kingdom.

"Mr. Song, we have a caravan from England that is going to Xiangdao, but now we are trapped in Xinjiapo. We've taken note of your report, and it seems like there's a passage between the two islands in the vast archipelago, right? ”

"Regrettably, Mr. Ambassador, there is indeed a strait in the vast archipelago, but I am afraid that it is not navigable at the moment. Because the situation under the waterway is very complicated, and there are many reefs, our country is seizing the time to clear the bottom of the sea obstacles, and it will be impassable for a while and a half. ”

This is really a disappointment to come back, William is not interested in the so-called Han Kingdom, originally thought that this small foreign minister would definitely be courteous when he saw him, as for navigation, isn't it a matter of being caught?

William knew that things might not be so simple, so he started to walk around.

William guessed that William had heard that a ship had just left the port from the Xinjiapo side, and it was heading east.

Needless to say, the merchant ships of Xingapo went to the vast strait.

Isn't the reason why the merchant ships of Xinjiapo were able to pass through the strait because of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries of Xinjiapo and Han?

The vast strait may need to be cleared, but is there really no place for such a large strait to cross?

As long as it is related, there is no strait that cannot be crossed.

William, as a veteran diplomat, can he not be clear about this?

Hehe, here's the key point.
