The night in Finney, a small town in Bengal, India, is getting dark. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo（.）

Zhu Guowei and Luo Ange leaned their backs against the fortifications made of sacks. These days, Zhu Guowei, the young and vigorous King of Dali, no longer has his original graceful look, the beard on his face has grown old, and his eyes are full of bloodshots. He had just finished his rounds, and now he sat down to catch his breath.

Luo Ange looked at his king, tears were about to flow out, this king was really hard, he defeated Burma and Donghui, and by the way, he handed the navy a chance to fight a decisive battle, and achieved the career of others, but he trapped himself in a Jedi. And he was not thick-skinned enough, thinking that he was the general of the defeated army, and buried 70,000 or 80,000 troops, fighting the most miserable defeat since the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. I didn't have the face to go back to see Jiangdong's father, so I could only cut off the queen in person, probably wanting to die in a foreign country and pull it down.

Zhu Guowei was also a little unhappy with his loyal minister, looked at Luo Ange, sighed tiredly, and called the other party's cousin: "Brother Huafu, you are affected by me, if you don't follow me to India, you will always have a Dali army scholar." Now he has followed me to a dead end, and even his life is in danger......"

Luo Ange smiled faintly, and a 5-pound shell exploded not far away, flying sand and gravel. The two of them didn't even blink an eye, they were already out of the realm of life and death.

Luo Ange said lightly: "It's not easy to save your life?" Yesterday Will. Didn't Hemming send a major? We must disarm and surrender to ensure the safety of our lives. She also said that the Queen of England admired your bravery and wanted to marry her youngest daughter, Princess Béatrice, to you...... I'm just kidding, my lord. ”

Seeing Zhu Guowei glaring at him angrily, Luo Ange hurriedly changed his words: "This must be Will. Hemming's trick, where in the world is there such a cheap thing? Presumably Queen Victoria hates us. If we had not penetrated deep into India, it would not have triggered a naval battle in the South China Sea. The Eastern Fleet of the British Empire will not be defeated disastrously......"

This matter is really wronged Victoria, she just wants to hate and hate Zhu Jishi, how can she hate a half-grown child? And she wants to marry her daughter to Zhu Guowei...... The foreign policy of the British Empire has always been very mature, and it is not a country like Russia and Germany. The war had been lost and won too little, and Britain had to think about how to keep as much of its property as possible. Instead of drawing circles and cursing Zhu Jishi. Moreover, after the end of the war, the relationship between the British Empire and the Ming Empire was also very important.

Because the defeated Ming Empire will be the hegemon of the world! Moreover, it is a very strong hegemon, and it will not have a good life if it becomes an enemy of such a hegemonic China. Although China will not attack the British Isles, India and Britain can take away their territory in Africa, and perhaps even North American territory can encourage them to fight for independence - in this case, a marriage is the most appropriate choice...... As long as we can establish an alliance with China, which dominates the world, peace is not a shameless thing. Anyway, Victoria and Zhu Jishi have long been relatives.

Zhu Guowei sighed: "I don't know if Queen Victoria hates me, but I really hate myself!" Before coming to India, he didn't hide it from Brother Huafu. I was indeed very high-spirited, thinking that the Indian army was vulnerable, Bangladesh was just around the corner, and when the Indian princely states cooperated together, the whole of India would be able to fight. But I didn't expect it...... I actually hit Will. Hemming's trap, follow my 120,000 brothers, I don't know how many are left? Thinking about them, what face do I have to marry an English princess? If I can hold out until reinforcements arrive this time, I won't have the face to be king. Just ask for the ancient Buddha of the green lantern and pray for the blessings of the brothers who died in battle. ”

Luo Ange was a little crying and laughing, what was this king thinking? I was high-spirited to sweep India, but now I can't think of becoming a monk...... But this is quite in line with the identity of the king of Dali, aren't there many emperors in the ancient kingdom of Dali who should not be monks? To be honest, there is no way to compare such a mind with the crown prince, the eldest son of the emperor and the king of Donghua, and he is really unlucky to follow the wrong master.

Zhu Guowei was affected by ***. I originally believed in Buddhism, but now I am even more discouraged, and I have seen through the red dust! He sighed, and just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard several screeching sounds in the air, followed by shells exploding around their positions. One of the shells was falling on a sandbag position. With a roar, the soldiers' limbs flew up one after another.

Then there was a series of cannon fires, and you could tell from the sound that the Indian army was playing real this time, with at least four artillery batteries firing at a rapid pace, and also using 6-inch heavy guns. Suddenly, the shells rained down on the last stronghold controlled by the Dali army in Finney City. Zhu Guowei and Luo Ange hurriedly lay on the ground, and they couldn't care about lamenting for a while, let's wait for this shell to pass.

On the opposite side of a house controlled by the Indian Army. Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army, Will. Admiral Hemming and Lieutenant General Gordon, commander of the Indian Army's 10th Army, were watching the fireworks rise from the Dali army position with binoculars. The faces of the two people are not good-looking, and of course officers of their level know what kind of virtue the Eastern Fleet has become!

The latest secret battle briefing, the battleships Devastus and Warrior have sunk! The Eastern Fleet lost as many as four battleships, and as many as ten more armored cruisers. And the remaining battleships, with the exception of a few, were mostly wounded. The shipyards in Port Jackson and Port Moresby would take at least two years to repair, and by then the war would probably be over.

And the attitude of the Dali King on the other side also made Hemming and Gordon a little annoyed. Duwei Sanque let go of a way out, but the king of Dali stuck to Fenny and didn't leave. All right...... You want to be a good man, right? Then the 30,000 or 40,000 remnants of the Dali army and the Ming army have all returned to Chittagong, and they should finally be able to surrender, right? Or swear not to surrender! Well, Queen Victoria is also afraid of your father, and she doesn't want to make enemies, so it's okay to marry a princess to be a relative for all of you, right? Don't say yes yet!

This is the stone in the pit! Why did Zhu Jishi give birth to such a living treasure?

Will. Heming put down the binoculars and said coldly: "Tell the attacking troops to catch Zhu Guowei alive as much as possible!" He's important to us! Now nine out of ten Indian kings are watching the wind, and if we can catch Chu Kwok-wai, we can make them think that Britain has won. ”

Gordon said with some concern: "General, the Indian princes are not a problem, we have more than 600,000 troops, and we can always suppress them." However Chinese I am afraid that there will soon be a big attack on India, and when the time comes...... With the strength in our hands, we are afraid that we will not be able to hold it! ”

Will. Heming sneered, "The key to whether we can hold India or not is not in our strength, but in North America, in France." ”

"North America and France?" Gordon looked at Will for some reason. Hamming. He knows a little bit about politics, but he can't talk to Will. Hemming's backstage Robert. Churchill, the latter was a Conservative bigwig and a minister in the British Cabinet. He knew that now Will. The point of view that Haiming said must have come wholesale from Qiu Fatzi.

Will. Hemming said lightly: "Now there are two lifelines of the British Empire, one is North America, and the other is India. If the empire loses both, it will be reduced to a third-rate state, and it will only be able to follow the first-class powers on the European continent, such as France. With Britain to follow, France will become the leader of the entire white world, the core of the unity of whites against the yellow race, just like the Habsburgs did. This is a situation that the Ming Emperor does not want to see. So he will help us maintain the empire...... If the empire loses North America, the Chinese will certainly not attack India again. Rather, India will be used as a bargaining chip to blackmail the empire. In order to keep India, the British Empire had to follow China rather than France or any of the European powers. ”

Speaking of this, Hemming glanced at Gordon, "Charlie, do you now understand why I want to spare King Dali's life as much as possible?" ”

Gordon nodded, the British Empire really has no eternal enemies, only eternal interests! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
