Chapter 764: Slogans to welcome guests
Although the fort is strong, it has a fatal flaw, it lacks short-range defense capabilities, and now that the marines of the Democratic Alliance have come ashore, nearly half of their warships have been damaged, and the rest are also scarred, everyone understands that the history of Singapore is about to repeat itself.
As soldiers, most of them are not afraid of death, especially the European army, in the queue to be shot, knowing that they will die and do not flinch, but death in a closed environment is not the same as death in an open environment, that kind of desperate and depressed mood can make people break down, no one wants to die in extreme panic, so the white flag was waved on the battery, and the surrender of the battery led to the surrender of the fleet, and the few remaining warships of the British army also raised the white flag one after another.
An hour later, the Democratic Alliance Army took over the dock area in an all-round way, capturing more than 300 British officers and soldiers and more than 1,000 Indian officers and soldiers; for the Indians, they were not released on the spot, but needed to receive three days of ideological and political education, to understand the history of colonial plundering and criminal colonization and plunder committed by the British against the Indians, and the purpose of China's march into India, that is, not for land, not for wealth, not for women, completely out of the historical friendship between the Chinese people and the Indian people, and for the liberation of the Indian people, He supported the independence and liberation movement of the Indian people, and played up the history of friendly exchanges between China and India.
In the afternoon, Zhou Xiuying picked up a thin booklet and said: "I really admire you, I made up a book called "China and India, Forever Friends" in half a day! The booklet is nearly 10,000 words. ”
"Hmm!" Yang Shuijiao also nodded: "It's all in English." ”
Listening to the irony, Wang Feng's face sank, and Li Hongzhang hurriedly praised: "Your Majesty is erudite and talented. It is admirable, and the ministers are never as good as it. ”
"Hmm~~" Wang Feng's face turned cloudy and sunny at this time. He turned his head and said, "After dinner, let's arrange for people to teach lessons to the Indians." It is limited to three days, and anyone who writes a study within three days, or who does not know how to write and dictate, can be released, as long as he can fully realize the cunning and cruelty of the British. ”
"Yes!" A member of the Black Hawks took the pamphlet and walked out.
Yang Shuijiao and Zhou Xiuying's lips moved, although they didn't make a sound, Li Hongzhang could recognize that they were clearly saying the word faint. Isn't this an allusion to the fact that he is patting on the back, and Wang Feng accepts it calmly.
Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly twice, joking, these two women can sneer at Wang Feng, they are all family, and Li Hongzhang is still clear about his position, he is a minister, Wang Feng is a king, even if he criticizes. It is not a direct criticism, but a tortuous and roundabout one, not to mention that this pamphlet is not without words, but lists a large number of facts. It is extremely convincing, and it is impossible to make it up in a short period of time if he changes himself.
However, Li Hongzhang's cultivation kung fu is first-class. He didn't sulk about it, and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty." So what do we do next? When to go to Kolkata? ”
"No hurry!" Wang Feng waved his hand: "Our warships need to be repaired, and the wounded soldiers need to be recuperated." We are going to use this time to spread the news throughout the Indian subcontinent as soon as possible, and I am sure that soon people will come to us, and for India, we don't need to get too involved, and try to encourage the Indian people to resist themselves, and I think the British will also come and negotiate with us, so wait."
Sure enough, the next day, the Anglo-Indian authorities in Calcutta received news of the fall of Sagar, in addition to the fact that the trading fleet had been driven away by the Chinese, the mouth of the Pajileti River had been effectively blocked, and Calcutta had cut off communication with the sea.
The British and Indian authorities were shocked, but they did not have the strength to scold China, or rather, since the moment when 50,000 officers and soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom set foot on Australian soil, the contradictions between Britain and China have been irreconcilable, Britain will either beat China to death, China or drive Britain out of Asia, there is no third way to go, and the subsequent fall of Singapore, the destruction of the Selangor Sultanate, the fire of war on Sumatra, and the annexation of Burma by China have repeatedly confirmed the sharp conflict between Britain and China.
In that case, what's the point of accusations and swearing? After urgent discussions, a delegation of Kolkata business circles led by the British and Indian Governor, Earl Canning, the former Chief Commissioner of Bago Province of Burma, Pan Er, and the former Commissioner of Yangon, Lambert, visited Wang Feng in Kolkata.
Another day, with the permission of the Chinese army, more than 100 members of the delegation were disarmed and allowed to land on Sagar Island.
Several Chinese warships set up a blockade at the mouth of the Pajileti River, and outside the range of the naval guns, dozens of merchant ships were moored in place, in a dilemma, the merchant ships outside the mouth carried industrial products originating in Britain or other princely states of India, and inside the estuary, it was full of all kinds of raw materials, and whenever anyone tried to approach, they would be severely warned by the Chinese navy, and even threatened to open fire.
From time to time, there are water columns several feet high at the mouth of the river, and every Englishman is extremely aggrieved, when was the British Empire bullied to such an extent?
"Look, gentlemen, what is that?" Lambert reached out and pointed forward.
A few hundred meters away, is the former British artillery battery on Sagar Island, now the Provisional Command of the Chinese Navy and the Chinese Emperor Temporary Departure, but on the road in the past, the first thing to face was a large horizontal slogan: The British are not invincible, China since 1853 to the present, several defeats of the British, driven the British colonial forces out of Chinese mainland and the Asia-Pacific region, the Chinese can do it, the Indians can do it! ”
“Fuck!” Earl Canning angrily burst into a foul language, this is Chiguoguo's provocation, and then look at the representatives of the Indian business community who brought it, they seem to look a little strange, and some people even whisper to their faces, obviously talking about China's achievements in previous wars against Britain.
At this moment, Earl Canning's bowels were blue, and he took representatives of the Indian business community to visit Wang Feng, preparing to put pressure on Wang Feng through the Indian banana people, so that he would know that the Indian people were on the side of the British, loyal subjects of the British Queen, and the Indian people supported and loved the British colonial rule.
Before leaving, these banana people also expressed their indignation at China's invasion of India, but when they arrived at the ground, this was not the case at all, and the banana people were very envious of China's military victory over the British.
"Your Excellency the Governor, please calm down!" Lambert also secretly said that it was not good, to be honest, the Chinese side played this hand that he did not expect, but could he tear the slogan off? It is even more impossible to withdraw and return, and it will only make people think that Britain is afraid of China.
Once the Indians think that Britain is afraid of China, I am afraid that Britain's colonial rule over the entire Indian continent will collapse at a very rapid pace.
The only thing that can be done now is to move forward, but just after the slogan, Canning's face has changed again! (To be continued.) )
