Zhuge Weidao is now a loser...... The whole world except the Celestial Empire circle knows about it!

Just when Zhuge Weidao led his first voyage to Mumbai with swagger, the news of his defeat had spread from Mumbai to the world. On the streets of London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Petersburg, New York, and many other major cities in the Western civilization circle, you can buy a newspaper and you can know the defeat of the Ming Empire's navy.

According to reliable information published in these newspapers, the Ming Nanyang Grand Fleet was recently attacked by the Second Fleet of the Indian Imperial Navy in the Strait of Malacca, losing a total of 11 capital ships and 19 armored cruisers!

Now, the main force of the defeated Nanyang Fleet has returned to the anchorage of Ba Yang Island, which is located at the gate of the fortress of Shanmaxi, to rest.

They may then cooperate with the weak Ming army in a desperate assault on the fortified fortresses of the Malay Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula, which is dotted with impassable tropical jungles...... But their ultimate defeat was already doomed.

And the final fate of a detachment of the South Ocean Fleet, which broke through into the Indian Ocean, may come even earlier! Because this fleet, which had 4 battleships and 4 aircraft carriers, was forced into the Indian Ocean by the Indian Second Fleet in the Battle of Malacca, it had to become a wandering fleet with no back roads.

Now this wandering fleet has no foothold in the eastern Indian Ocean, so it has to flee into the western Indian Ocean, trying to merge with the Ming Persian Gulf Fleet, which had previously lost the Persian Gulf, and then survive together in the barren bay.

It's a pity that even such a lingering attempt is now unrealizable. Because the Indian First Fleet, which had successfully blocked the Ming Persian Gulf Fleet in the Persian Gulf and supported the Indian Expeditionary Force to land in Muscat, had already placed tens of thousands of real and fake mines at the exit of the Persian Gulf before completing its mission and returning triumphantly...... It will take at least a few months for the Persian Gulf Fleet of the Ming Navy to clean up those mines, and the supplies carried by the failed Ming Navy fleet led by Zhuge Weidao will definitely not last for a few months.

The latest news was made by Earl Nelson, Admiral Codrington and James Murphy. The main force of the powerful Royal Navy of the Indian Empire, commanded by Vice Admiral Hood, was preparing to attack the Ming Wandering Fleet from the north to the south...... This is what Emperor William of the Indian Empire declared when he gave his "triumphal speech" in the Parliament of the Indian Empire in Bombay!

"Parliamentarians of the Empire, Maharajas of India! Today, once again, I would like to inform you of good news, a message of victory! ”

In the Indian Parliament building, next to the Royal Palace in Mumbai, Kaiser Wilhelm is speaking from the podium.

As an emperor who had long served in the upper house of the British Parliament, he was very good at making speeches. After all, in his mixed House of Lords, the British House of Lords still had a lot of power. In the past few years, the House of Lords of the British Parliament has repeatedly rejected the Catholic Settlement Act, according to which Catholics in Britain would be theoretically equal to Protestants...... This is certainly not allowed!

The Indian emperor waved a piece of paper, presumably a copy of a telegram, and said loudly to the parliamentarians below: "According to the airship reconnaissance, the Ming Empire's wandering fleet that broke through into the Indian Ocean is now being chased by the main force of Vice Admiral Hood's Indian Second Fleet towards Mumbai...... They are getting farther and farther away from the Strait of Malacca, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to return. Now Admiral Codrington's First Fleet is heading south, while Vice Admiral Hood's Second Fleet is heading north. Soon they will form a north-south flank attack on the wandering fleet of the Ming Kingdom...... Victory will belong to India and to us! ”

"Long live India, long live the emperor, long live the navy......"

The excited members of the upper and lower houses of the Indian Parliament were all boiling over after listening to Kaiser Wilhelm's words.

Of course, these masters who can become parliamentarians are not fools, of course they know who is in the same group as themselves and who is their enemy - the Ming Empire has been the standard-bearer of "equality", "Juntian" and "anti-colonial" since more than a hundred years ago!

And the members of the Indian parliament are all high castes, all big landowners, and all ...... Colonist! Yes, they are all colonizers! The only difference is when he came to India as a colonizer? Were they the Aryan colonists (Hindu high caste) who came three or four thousand years ago, or the Celestial colonists who began to enter hundreds of years ago (the Celestial high caste), or the British colonists who came more than a hundred years ago?

Therefore, the equality of the Ming Dynasty, the Juntian, the anti-colonial claims and the interests of the various magnates of the Indian Empire were in conflict!

Now that they know that the situation of the anti-Ming resistance is very good, these representatives of the Indian princes and nobles will of course cheer.

"Parliamentarians of the Empire, Maharajas of India!"

The emperor of the Indian Empire saw that everyone's mood was very high, so he struck while the iron was hot and began to ask for money: "In order for us in India to work with the British Empire to defeat the entire Ming Empire faster, the imperial government has just proposed an latest naval expansion plan.

According to this plan, the Reich was to start construction of several of the world's most powerful super-battleships with a standard displacement of more than 30,000 tons in the 1831 year...... This will be our weapon to defeat the evil empire of the Ming Dynasty.

By victory, I am not to push them back from the Strait of Malacca, but to defeat this empire full of evil ambitions once and for all!

At that time, we will demand full reparation from the defeated Ming Empire for her ambitions and atrocities...... The amount of compensation will be 1 billion pounds or more!

In addition, the Ming Empire will lose all of its vassal states and most of its territory, and will be disarmed forever and become a moderately reformed and peace-loving state that poses no longer any threat to India or the whole world.

In order to achieve this goal, I hope that the Imperial Parliament of India will support this naval expansion! ”

Supporting the naval expansion program means, of course, paying for it...... Of course, the money came from the middle and lower classes of India, and the upper princes and nobles and the landowners of Qaidamin were only responsible for helping the Indian emperor to collect the money.

In addition, with the endorsement of the Indian Parliament, the Indian government was able to issue more bonds in London, Paris, and Frankfurt to raise the funds needed to develop the navy, a method that Kaiser Wilhelm had to raise money before the United Kingdom entered a state of war.

As for that, what 30,000 tons of battleship...... In fact, it is still being designed by a British shipyard, and it has not yet been designed. It's hard to say whether we can start next year.

But that didn't stop Kaiser Wilhelm from making money!

As long as His Majesty the Emperor gets the money, a larger ship can always be built.

"Yes! In the tank! Support ......"

In the conference hall of the Imperial Parliament Building of India, there was naturally a voice of support!

However, these Indian parliamentarians who supported Kaiser Wilhelm would never have imagined that the "failed" Ming Navy First Naval Formation had reached the Indian Ocean less than 100 kilometers from Mumbai at this time.

Moreover, the 1st Air Combat Formation is still preparing a "desperate" air raid plan - an air raid on Mumbai!

On the flight deck of the four aircraft carriers (aircraft-carrying battlecruisers), the Ssangyong fighters with bombs and folded wings have been laid, and all preparations have been completed before take-off and lift-off.

All the pilots were already in place, and the propellers of the first planes to take off began to turn. Just waiting for the Admiral to give an order, he will be able to fly to Bombay, the capital of the Indian Empire.

And Zhuge Weidao was in the bridge of the King of Shuzhong at this time, holding a map of Mumbai to study what should be blown up?

Power Plant, Royal Palace, Parliament...... And Bombay Bank Street, it seems that they should all be blown up!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao picked up a pen, drew a few circles on the map, and then handed it to Wang Wen, an aviation staff officer, and ordered: "That's it...... Now, let the aviation go out and bomb! ”
