Chapter 61: The Fall of Naga
In order to obtain Nagara, the Taiping Society sent agents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the major towns of the colony of Nagara since two years ago.
In order to obtain Nagar, the Taiping Society's army began preparations several months ago, and more than 150,000 troops assembled from the city of Taiping.
The future will set off earth-shattering waves on this star, and the flag of the Taiping Armed Forces with a golden cross scythe wrench pattern printed on the red background is also the first time that it has been unveiled to the outside world in this war.
Without exception, it became the second most profound typical impression of Taipingism in other countries, especially the white countries in the old continent of O'Barro, in addition to the "hoe ruler" flag.
Later, when the entire Taipingist international movement stirred up the whole old world.
In their own history textbooks, the new countries of Taipingism have called this war "a battle of great historical significance, the hope of human civilization, and the great forerunners of Taipingism, who walked out of their cradle base areas for the first time and began to experience the baptism of external wind and rain······
These words are magnificent, and at a glance you can see that they were written by the Propaganda Departments of the successive Taipingist countries.
In any case, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the top leaders of the Taiping Society, headed by Hong Tiangui, have very carefully mobilized the largest manpower and the most material resources in addition to not affecting the major industrial manufacturing in Taiping City, which is also the first time that the Taiping Society forces have shown their strong strength to all the countries in the world.
However, in the eyes of many old comrades of the Taiping Society who personally experienced the war, it could not be called the beginning of "experiencing baptism" at all, but the beginning of "baptizing others".
The earth spreads in smoke and dust, and panic rises in the crowd.
The Kingdom of St. George's Britannia, the capital of the colony of Naga, is in chaos in Ottawa, with nearly one-fifth of the colony's population and 600,000 permanent residents.
The Earl of George, the Governor of Nagara personally appointed by King St. George, stood in the square in front of the Governor's Palace, with 500 Governor's Guards armed with loaded muskets lined up in battle formations behind him.
"Your Excellency the Governor, Your Excellency the Governor."
"We send to Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary······ telegrams, all unanswered! ”
A fat white man dressed in the costume of the lower nobles of St. George's court rushed from behind the Doge's Guard, making the fat all over his body tremble.
"The garrison outside the city is also ······"
It's just that before he could finish speaking, Count Mars directly interrupted his words with a cold face.
"Needless to say, I already know!"
Among the governors of Nagara, the Earl of Mars was a dutiful bureaucrat who knew the general direction of the garrison outside the city.
The airship troops of the Taiping Army, which attacked the capital of Ottawa, the capital of Naga, specially chose daytime for the attack this time.
As a result, Count Mars could easily see behemoths suspended above the garrison's area, even without a telescope, and the explosions, fires, and smoke there were the most visible in the entire city.
What can be done there, Count Mars thinks with his ass, and can know.
Probably because the Earl of Mars came from the St. George's area, where science was most developed in this era, he did not think in horror that the Taiping Army airship in the sky was some kind of demon, devil and other transcendent creations.
In the Army of the Kingdom of St. George's, basic hot air balloons have begun to be used as a guiding tool for ground artillery aiming; Moreover, the traces of the giant beast airship in the sky, and the most conspicuous man-made objects in the sunlight, all show that the colony of Naga has only been invaded!
"What a terrifying sky beast!"
He just gave out his praise in an exclamatory tone, and maintained his composure throughout.
As a real earl-level nobleman above the domestic level of the powerful Kingdom of St. George in this era of forcible seizure, he did not yell and scream.
In the face of a Taiping giant beast airship that flew over the Governor's Mansion and began to descend slowly, the earl was also very decisive and stopped the action of the guards shooting in an attempt to stop it.
The earl even took out a comb from his arms to tidy up his appearance at the same time that the soldiers of the Taiping Army's Wolf Warrior Special Commando slid off the airship.
"Dear warriors, I think you should be able to understand St. George's."
The calm words and the Governor's Guard, which had already laid down their muskets under the Count's orders and had not resisted at all, surprised the commando soldiers who had landed first on the ground, and it was not at all the same as they had expected the fierce battle to come.
"In view of the great power you have, in my capacity as Governor of Nagara, I will order the cessation of resistance everywhere."
Without waiting for the commando soldiers to make a move, the Count took the initiative to announce his surrender, and then continued to the yellow soldiers in front of him.
"Also, as a hereditary nobleman of St. George's, I want to be treated in a way that matches my status."
"And, I would like to be able to meet your commanders."
The scene that appeared in front of him was really unexpected by the entire Wolf Warrior Special Commando.
However, the leading members of the raid team readily agreed after consulting their superiors.
"Your request, our superiors have agreed."
"Your Excellency, please come with us!"

—————————————
In the later history of the Kingdom of St. George of Britain, on June 16, 1858, the last white city of the Naga colony with a full garrison, that is, the city of Ottawa, the capital of the Naga colony, gave up resistance and surrendered under the orders of the last governor, Earl George Mars.
So far, except for some villages that are located in remote areas, have a small population, and do not affect the overall situation, and still exist independently, the Taiping forces led by Hong Tiangui have completed the effective occupation of the major cities and regions of the colony of Naga.
Hong Tiangui and other high-ranking members of the Taiping Society underestimated the extent to which the Nagar people had exploited the fertile plains.
Nor did they have any idea that after the successful invasion of Vancouver, the convenient rail network would allow the Taiping Ground Force to quickly occupy the entire territory of Nagara's developed land in such a short period of time.
And the surprise attack of the Behemoth-class airship is far greater than the people in this era imagined, so that the ground forces have not encountered any decent resistance at all.
In any case, after a month and four days of fighting, the fall of the colony of St. George Naga was the time.
For the first time, an emerging force that was about to shine on the rising sun made its own voice on this star······
