"What? Come, come to Mumbai? ”

Hear Charlie. Emperor Wilhelm was immediately anxious about the report of Yilu, and immediately asked Nelson with a blank eye: "Marquis, didn't you say that we still have 18 months?" Didn't you say that it would take at least 6-12 months for the Chinese to occupy Malaya? But they had now bypassed the island of Ceylon, and were still two or three days away at most...... But there's only one old-fashioned Warrior ironclad here in Mumbai! What are we going to do? ”

Nelson was calm, although he and Kaiser William were both field marshals of the British Royal Navy, but Nelson's field marshal was fought and really saw the world, and Kaiser Wilhelm's "battlefield" during the Napoleonic Wars was in the Upper House of the British Parliament.

"Your Majesty," Nelson laughed, "first of all, we should announce the victory and tell the Indians in Bombay that we have blocked the main fleet of the Chinese in the Strait of Malacca and caused them heavy losses."

Second, we would like to announce that a small group of Chinese warships used our large fleet to attack the main force of the Daming Navy and crossed the blockade line and entered the Indian Ocean. There were no troop carriers in this small fleet, but there were several fast battleships, so it was possible for them to invade Mumbai and create panic through long-range shelling.

Thirdly, Your Majesty the Emperor should declare a triumphant return, and personally sit in Bombay, and lead the Indian army and civilians to defend the capital and repel the invading Ming navy......"

"What?" Emperor Wilhelm looked at the Marquis of Nelson in surprise, "Marquis, do you mean that I, the emperor who has personally conquered the army, have triumphed to the point of defending the capital?" ”

Marquis Nelson nodded, "That's it. And...... You'll be able to hold on to Mumbai! So you will prove to all the superior people of India that you are capable of defending this rich, peaceful, civilized country from the enslavement of the barbaric Oriental Z Empire! ”

"Avoid ...... Enslavement? Kaiser Wilhelm smiled wryly, "Marquis, do you mean the abolition of the caste system, the creation of all men equal, and the enslavement of the tiller?" ”

"Of course!" Marquis Nelson said, "Just like the enslavement brought about by the great life of France!" When we were young, didn't we fight against the world's greatest soldiers for more than ten years in order to defeat this slavery? ”

Amsterd, the Chief Minister of the Indian Empire, immediately took over the topic and said to Kaiser Wilhelm, "Your Majesty, we must make it clear to the members of Parliament that you are now defending their interests!" If the Ming Empire were to be the master of India, then there would be no caste in India, and there would be no Qaidamin landlords. At that time, all Indians will be created equal, and the land of India will be divided equally among every born equal! ”

Kaiser Wilhelm muttered: "My Prime Minister, I think you have redefined slavery!" ”

"My Majesty," Amsterd said, "the British Empire's standard of 'servitude' has never changed...... That is, whether the leader of a certain country is a friend of the British Empire. Yes, then he is a beloved, enlightened, progressive monarch of the people. No, then he is a tyrant who enslaves the people! And...... Not every member of the Upper and Lower Houses of the Indian Parliament would welcome the Ming Empire, an evil country that seeks to destroy the caste system and make every Indian born equal! ”

"But this time they didn't claim that they wanted to abolish the caste system and divide the land equally." Emperor Wilhelm was still a little worried that the Indians below would fall to the Ming Dynasty.

Amsterd shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, people of insight all over the world know what they are going to do?" They now intend to abolish caste and divide land equally, but once they gain power, they will pursue these policies in India...... What they've done in all the vassal states! Recently they have been redistributing the land of the Kingdom of Hawaii and enforcing the law of creation equal in the Hawaiian Islands! Even Japan has recently been studying how to achieve equality and Junda. ”

That's how the Great Tomorrow Dynasty is...... The "equality" and "Juntian" of the people have long been sanctified by King Zhuge Wuzhong, and are considered to be the law of long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty!

In the Ming Dynasty, except for the emperor who was actually set aside, there were a small number of important members of the imperial family, and everyone (the people of the Ming Dynasty) was equal...... Of course, some of them, such as the members of the Eight Great Families, were more equal than the rest of the Ming people! It's just more equal, it's not superior!

Although the "more equal" thing is very common in the middle and upper classes of the Ming Empire, no one can deny that in today's world, the performance of the Ming Empire in "equality" must be outstanding.

As for "Juntian" (including limited fields), it is also the sacred value of the Ming Dynasty! Even if it is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it must also engage in Juntian (limited land) on the "cooked land", and the Ming Dynasty's own capital can only obtain the "long-term use right" of the land by cultivating the "raw land".

By the way, the candidate vassal of the Ming Dynasty belongs to Japan, and during this time, he has performed very well in recruiting and organizing samurai divisions to help the Ming Dynasty fight, and has begun to study the issues of "equality" and "Junda" with the help of Ming experts......

Therefore, no one will believe that no one will believe that Da Ming will say that he will not abolish the caste system and engage in equal fields and limited fields after taking India.

William also knew that the Ming Empire was a very principled evil country, so those middle-class and upper-class people in India who could "open their eyes to the Ming Dynasty" must all love Britain and oppose the Ming Dynasty.

Convinced that the Indians would support him, Kaiser Wilhelm relented a little, and asked his War Minister Hugh. Goff, "War Secretary, can we repel the Ming army in Bombay?" ”

"No problem!" Stop. Gough said with great certainty, "There are fifteen thousand officers and men of the Royal Guard in Bombay, two-thirds of whom are white mercenaries."

In addition, we built 7 coastal batteries in Mumbai, each with a twin 13.5-inch armored turret and large-caliber guns that were not protected by an armored turret.

So we will definitely be able to defeat the invading Ming Empire's fleet in Bombay! ”

In fact, Kaiser Wilhelm also knew that Bombay would definitely be able to hold - the Ming Dynasty had not yet annihilated the Indian Grand Fleet! In such a situation, it was unrealistic to land on Indian soil, and their fleet would at most fire a few shots at Bombay to scare the Indians.

But he couldn't let the Ming Empire's fleet keep wandering outside the port of Mumbai...... Because Mumbai was the largest trading port of the Indian Empire, it was also the industrial and commercial center and financial center of India. If the fleet of the Ming Navy is blocked for a few months, then the economy of Mumbai and the whole of India will have to run into trouble.

In addition, although the Indian Empire was nominally independent, its industry was still a link in the industrial chain of the British Empire. If the Ming Empire blocked the route between India and Europe, then the industrial chain of the British Empire would also be interrupted!

Although India has its own "inner circulation" and is completely self-sufficient....... Even after breaking away from the industrial chain of the British Empire, it could develop better, but the Indian military industry, which was completely controlled by the British, could not leave the supply of parts and raw materials in Britain.

Once the line of communication between Britain and India is interrupted for a long time, the Indian military industry will run out of spare parts and key raw materials in stock after two or three months, and then stop production!

Thinking of this, Kaiser Wilhelm said to the Marquis of Nelson: "Marquis, I can lead the Indian army and civilians to defend the country of Bombay...... But the Navy must also come up with a plan to drive or annihilate this fleet, and it must be carried out as soon as possible! ”

The Marquis of Nelson replied, "Your Majesty, the Second Indian Fleet has now arrived in the Andaman Islands, and its main force will return to Bombay in a moment. As long as they arrive, we will have enough strength to expel this Ming fleet.

In addition, the Admiralty has ordered the 1st Indian Fleet in the Gulf of Oman to block the entrance to the Persian Gulf with mines...... After the completion of this work, the 1st Indian Fleet will also return! ”

Emperor Wilhelm nodded, "After the two Indian fleets merge, they will definitely be able to drive away the Ming naval fleet that has broken into the western Indian Ocean!" He pondered for a moment, and then added, "The Cabinet has announced the victory...... Tomorrow, I will have a triumphal ceremony, and I will return to Mumbai as a victor! ”
