Chapter 30: Intimidation by the British
The next day, Sun Hao came back from boxing, came to the office after washing, and saw Miao Xiaolan sitting in his office. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing Sun Hao coming, Miao Xiaolan immediately stood up and saluted!
"Xiaolan, it's so early, it won't be anything important, right?"
"Report to Commander-in-Chief Sun, the British have taken Rangoon, and after killing all the defenders of Rangoon, they will withdraw from Rangoon City, and Addison, the deputy commander of their Far East Fleet, has also given Rangoon City to our Chinese army, but there is a request that we need to interview the commander-in-chief."
After Sun Hao heard it, he was very puzzled, so he took out a cigarette.
When Miao Xiaolan saw it, she immediately took out a lighter and helped her light it.
After taking a puff of cigarette, Sun Hao was very confused, what was the Englishman Addison going to do? Why did the unprofitable British give the county town of Yangon to themselves? Could it be that they were afraid of the Huaxia Army, but the two sides did not fight, and obviously this setting did not exist.
The British are all unprofitable guys, and they will not be so kind to help them attack the territory of the Gongbang Dynasty at all, and Addison made such a request, obviously what he wanted.
"Has Donghu been defeated?"
"Not yet, the Donghu city wall is tall and solid, and the shells of the two divisional artillery regiments have been exhausted, but the blown up city wall has been desperately blocked by Meng Yun's troops. In addition, countless artillery pieces were arranged on the Donghu city wall, and several division commanders did not want the troops to sacrifice too much, so they could only wait for the logistics troops to deliver the shells before attacking. ”
Sun Hao nodded slightly after hearing this, the capital of a country is definitely not so easy to fight, although the city wall of Donghu is not as good as the city wall of Beijing City, but Gongbang is rich in marble here, if the city walls of the Gongbang Dynasty are all built with solid marble, only with the power of the cannon in this era, it will definitely be difficult to bomb and collapse! IN ADDITION, THE ATTACKING TROOPS DID NOT CARRY 150MM HEAVY GUNS, BECAUSE THE HEAVY GUNS WERE TOO HEAVY, AND EVEN IF THEY WERE DISASSEMBLED, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO TRANSPORT THEM WITHOUT A SMOOTH ROAD.
"When did Addison agree to negotiate?"
"The day after tomorrow!"
"Okay, send electricity immediately, agree to negotiate in the past!"
"Yes!"
On March 26, 1795, in the interior of Yangon City, a luxurious Western-style building was built in the living room.
Sun Hao looked at Addison with a smile, although he was not tall, he had a shrewd face. He wears a two-horned hat with the image of a pirate in later generations, and has a very upturned beard, as if it has been treated with hairspray. Dressed in a blue shirt, the two rows of large gold breasts are very dazzling. Wearing white tight pants and a padded belly, this outfit looks funny, like a clown in later generations.
Addison was very surprised when he saw Sun Hao, because the other party seemed to be too young, maybe less than 20 years old. Such a young man, a commander-in-chief with a heavy army, Addison really couldn't believe it.
"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief Sun, you don't have to thank me for helping you conquer Yangon, the Colonial Governor of India of the British Empire has sent a message to Your Excellency on behalf of our British Empire, hoping that Commander-in-Chief Sun can take the Gongbang Dynasty, and can no longer attack the Bangkok Dynasty, the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and the Annam Kingdom, because these territories are all colonies of our British Empire. Oh! Also, Assam of the Gongbang Dynasty and Manipur, Nagaland, and Mizoram are all colonies of the British Empire, and I hope that Commander-in-Chief Sun will not attack those places, and we will get along with each other with the Arakan Mountains as the boundary. ”
Sun Hao saw that the other party was arrogant like a victorious rooster, and his heart was very unashamed, there are still several states in the southwest of the Arakan Mountains that belong to the territory of the Gongbang Dynasty, and the British have not yet begun to colonize those states, but they have already regarded those gangs as their own territory in their hearts. They are not allowed to attack the Bangkok Dynasty, the Phnom Penh Dynasty and Annam, and they also say that these countries are their colonies. The current Britain has not yet become an empire on which the sun never sets, but the British have begun to become proud, and they don't even take the Huaxia Army in their eyes.
"Your Excellency Addison, it seems that your army has not colonized Assam and several other states of the Gongbang Dynasty, right? These territories are all subject countries of the Gongbang Dynasty, and Britain has no right to interfere with our Huaxia army, right? The Bangkok Dynasty, the Phnom Penh Dynasty and the Kingdom of Annam were all independent kingdoms, and they were not British colonies now, so when did these places become British colonies? How did Commander Ben not know? ”
"Nope! No! Those states and the Kingdom of Bangkok have long been colonies of the British Empire, and if you insist on attacking anywhere, you will suffer the wrath of our British Empire! ”
"Are you threatening me?"
"No, it's kind advice!"
"Your Excellency Addison, if this commander insists on taking all the territory of the Gongbang Dynasty, does it mean that there will be a war with the British?"
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, if you insist on going your own way, the British Empire will not sit idly by and watch its colonies be invaded."
"Your Excellency Addison, the commanders of the Bangkok Dynasty will not attack, but the commanders of the Gongbang Dynasty must occupy all of them. If the British Empire wants to go to war with the Chinese army, come on! ”
"You! ............ You! Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, this General has come with goodwill and friendliness, and since Your Excellency does not need the friendship of the British Empire, you can do it yourself! ”
What shit friendship, Sun Hao's eyes are full of unscrupulous colors.
Lieutenant General Addison didn't expect that Sun Hao would be so resolute and not give up an inch of land, such a person is really difficult to deal with. His Excellency the Governor has already explained that he can't make enemies with Sun Hao at present, because the British Empire has not even taken India yet, and he has no energy to start a war with Sun Hao.
"Your Excellency, since the fact that General Ben was able to knock down Rangoon and give it to you has proved the friendly attitude of the British Empire, why are you so stubborn? The Huaxia army has only tens of thousands of troops, and there is no navy. The British Empire has a million land forces, a navy of 780,000 or 80,000, and three powerful fleets, so why should Your Excellency compete with my British Empire? ”
After hearing the other party's tone soften, Sun Hao felt very funny in his heart, the current Britain is far less powerful than the British in later generations, and even India has not yet been taken, and the capture of those Indian colonies often causes riots against the British army, which has made Britain anxious, and has no ability to fight with the Chinese army. But Addison had a point, the British Empire had three powerful fleets, and it would be a real nuisance if they used them to bombard the local population along the coast.
"Your Excellency Addison, this commander does not want to have a war with the British Empire, as long as the British Empire agrees not to interfere with the commander's unification of the Gongbang Dynasty, the British Empire is not without benefits, after the commander unifies the Gongbang Dynasty, he can send a full division of troops to help the British Empire attack the Indian states, so that the British Empire can take India as soon as possible!"
After Addison heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, the British Empire actually didn't have a million army at all, and he just said it to intimidate Sun Hao. If we can take the whole of India as soon as possible, it is not impossible to abandon Assam, Manipur and other states.
"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, if the British Empire promises not to interfere with your unification of the Gongbang Dynasty, Your Excellency must send three divisions of troops to help the British Empire occupy India."
"No! The commander has only tens of thousands of troops in total, and there are countless people on the territory of the Gongbang Dynasty, and there will definitely be a rebellion and riot, if three divisions of troops are transferred, the commander will not be able to garrison the Gongbang Dynasty at all. At most, only one division can be dispatched, more than 20,000 people. ”
Addison was very surprised when he heard that Sun Hao's division had more than 20,000 people, which was already equivalent to the number of two divisions in the British Empire.
"Two full divisions, 40,000 people!"
"No! A division! ”
After some haggling, the two finally dispatched a division of troops.
The two sides agreed that the Mek River in the southeast and the Jammu River in the northwest would extend to the state of Bhutan, and that these boundaries would also be the boundary between the Gongbang dynasty and the Indian Federation. Although Sun Hao really wanted to take down all the Bengal in the future, he knew that it seemed unrealistic at the moment, because he did not have a strong navy to compete with the British.
Lieutenant Addison could not call the shots, and had to go back and report the matter to the Colonial Governor of India and the Colonial Governor of the British Channel, so that the two of them could decide the matter.
Of course, Sun Hao will not help the British to attack India in vain, why Sun Hao wants to help the British, only he knows.
