Balek? When Admiral Lerm saw Miao Shengye, it was already February 7, and he pressed his command knife and saluted Miao Shengye with a smile. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The relationship between the two countries is an alliance, and the position of the speaker of Ceylon is naturally much more noble than that of the commander of the fleet, and the British fleet has come from afar, and there are too many places to rely on Ceylon, Balek? Admiral Lemm, of course, will not be out of courtesy.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency the Speaker." Balek? Admiral Lerm greeted Miao Shengye in stiff Chinese, the most widely used language in the world, and many nobles had to learn this language.
Of course, with the decline of the control of the Ming Empire, the Chinese language has also become something that can be learned or not, and everyone just studies and studies to avoid being called unlearned.
So, Balak? Admiral Lemm's Chinese was not very good, it was very blunt, and Miao Shengye could only barely understand it. And Balek? Admiral Lemm, in fact, can only say a few words.
In the end, after struggling for a few seconds, the two people decided to use the translation they brought, so the communication between the two people was obviously much smoother.
Miao Shengye and Balek? Admiral Lem rode in a carriage back to his huge office, drove everyone out of the room, and began to discuss the emergency plan.
Balak from afar? Admiral Lerm seemed to be more anxious than Miao Shengye: "What is the current situation?" Honourable Mr. Speaker, β
"On the naval side, we sank a battleship and three destroyers of the Ming Empire, and we lost one battleship ourselves, and the two sides did not start a decisive battle, so it can only be said that we took a slight advantage." At this time, Miao Shengye could only reluctantly put gold on his navy's face.
But apparently, Balek? Admiral Lerm didn't buy it, he waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency, don't mention the implicit statement, this kind of cheapness will not form any advantage at all. β
His words embarrassed Miao Shengye for a few seconds, and then he continued to speak, talking about the more humiliating situation on land: "Compared to the sea, the battle situation on land is our disadvantage......
Hearing that his side has fallen into a disadvantage, Balek? General Lem frowned, but it was hard to say anything.
As a naval admiral of the British Empire, he can be selected as a commander and sent to the Far East, and his political ability is definitely not low.
He knew that at this time it was better for him not to judge or say anythingβto leave all the bargaining and grinding matters to the diplomatic department to worry about, and that would be fine.
So he closed his mouth and listened carefully to Miao Shengye's analysis of the land battle situation in front of him, and listened to how Ceylon was defeated from near Hanoi to near Khon Kaen......
I don't know if I don't know it, but I was really shocked when I heard it -- Ceylon has unknowingly annihilated the entire 600,000 troops of various kinds in the Ming Empire, and in this deep mountain and old forest, the combat effectiveness of the Ceylon troops is still very guaranteed.
But, on the other hand, the loss of Ceylon made Balek? Admiral Lem couldn't laugh. While annihilating a large number of soldiers of the Ming Empire, Ceylon was also annihilated by the Ming Empire with more than 490,000 troops.
Compared with the land occupied by the Ming Empire along the way, although the losses of Ceylon were small, the price was not small.
And, Balek? Admiral Lerm knew that although Ceylon's losses were much smaller than those of the Ming Empire, there was some moisture in them.
Even if there is no water, in this kind of exchange of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, the Ming Empire does not mind exchanging the cost of 100,000 people for hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land on the Southeast Peninsula!
"All things have been lost...... The situation is not optimistic...... "Balek? Admiral Lem opened his mouth depressedly and summarized Miao Shengye's introduction.
Miao Shengye is not the kind of person who is secretive and does not dare to look directly at his disadvantages, he nodded and opened his mouth to Balk? Admiral Rem said, "So, we need your country's support!" β
Balek? Admiral Lem smiled and said, "The navy of the British Empire has long cooperated with the navy of Ceylon, we have a glorious tradition, and this time we will also fight side by side for honor!" β
In terms of battleships that can be used, the combined fleets of Ceylon and Britain have an absolute numerical superiority, which is the result of years of accumulation, and the new warships of the Ming Empire at this time are still in the dock!
If you can't win with such a huge advantage, then it's called no heavenly reason, so Balek? Admiral Lem is confident that he will help Ceylon stabilize the situation on the battlefield.
"As long as the navy can defeat the main fleet of the Ming Empire, I am confident that I will cause trouble for the Ming Empire and let them spit out all the benefits they have eaten!" Miao Shengye said fiercely.
"Leave the affairs of the sea to me...... The question is...... We don't have a good way to do things on land. "Balek? Admiral Lem heard Miao Shengye say this, and opened his mouth to speak.
Miao Shengye didn't have a relationship with Balek? Admiral Lum concealed the meaning of this plan, so he said: "This is a conspiracy that the Ming Empire Navy can't unravel!" β
As he spoke, he walked up to the map, pointed to an island with a small area, and said, "I will mobilize soldiers and land here in Luzon!" β
On the one hand, attacking here can obtain valuable oil resources, attack the oil energy of the Ming Empire, and also fight a decisive battle with the Ming Empire in a place far from the land!
This is Miao Shengye's plan, landing on Luzon Island and fighting an amphibious landing battle to offset the numerical superiority of the Ming Empire's army to the greatest extent.
"Not a bad plan, if the Ming Empire doesn't give up here, then it can only let their navy come over for a decisive battle...... Then we will have a chance to take out their main fleet in one fell swoop! "Balek? Admiral Lem smiled and nodded.
"And if they don't dare to come over for a decisive battle at sea, then we can take Luzon by the way, and have more bargaining chips!" Miao Shengye proudly pressed his hand on the position of Luzon.
What Miao Shengye has been thinking about these days is such a counterattack to reverse the disadvantage, and the reason why he has been holding his impulse and not fighting back on the Southeast Peninsula is that he wants to fight a more certain battle in Luzon.
At least in Miao Shengye's view, a decisive battle across the ocean on Luzon Island is much more useful than throwing hundreds of thousands of troops into a city like Vientiane.
