Chapter 136 Brother Daming, when shall we take action? (Please subscribe, please vote)

With firecrackers blasting and drums playing, brothers Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Weixue (they are cousins) finally disembarked from the 15,000-ton luxury cruise ship Shunfeng owned by the Siam Cruises Company owned by Zheng Shijia.

Ali Pasha and one of his sons, Ibrahim, looked at each other, straightened their clothes and stepped forward with smiles on their faces. Then they saw the Egyptian musicians on the pier playing traditional Chinese music again. In the sound of silk and bamboo,

In the middle, Zhuge Weijiu, Zhuge Weixue and Zhuge Weixiu took long strides and walked quickly down the gangway of the Sailwind.

Although Ali Pasha was illiterate, he was a diligent and studious illiterate. In order to better learn from the advanced countries in the East and West, he also learned some Chinese and English. And his successor Ibrahim

Both had studied in England and Daming, so they spoke Chinese more fluently. I saw the two of them striding forward to greet each other, holding their hands and fists, and speaking fluent or not very fluent Chinese.

"Brother Zhuge, my little brother Ali is so polite. Hahaha, brother Zhuge, I also want to congratulate you. Your fleet of the Ming Navy defeated the British and Yi Royal Navy in Japan, sinking and severely damaging two of their battleships. That is really gratifying.

!Hahaha!"

"Your Majesty, my father and His Majesty the Sultan were very happy to learn that the Ming Navy defeated the British and Barbarian Royal Navy off the coast of Japan. My father has mobilized 20,000 new troops and can march in to block the Suez Canal at any time! Your Majesty, when is the right time for us to take action?"

Hearing the words of the two father and son, Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Weixue also laughed proudly - the Shunfeng's docking at Alexandria had been planned for a long time, and the purpose was of course to collect the dogs. But this was not easy.

After all, Ali Pasha of Egypt is just a fox who has become a fox. He is best at maintaining a balance in front of the great powers. Just look at the fact that he is sending troops to help Turkey beat Greece without even touching the Suez Canal. You can see that his methods are good.

So slippery.

But even such a person, after confirming that the Ming Navy had severely damaged the British Royal Navy, also announced that he would attack the Suez Canal. Of course, claiming it is one thing, but actually taking action is another.

But if you can say such things to Zhuge Weijiu in public, you are already on your side!

It seems that to collect a dog, you have to rely on your fist to be big and hard enough!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weijiu glanced at Zhuge Weixue. Zhuge Weixue smiled and said: "Pasha, commander (Ibrahim is the commander-in-chief of the Egyptian Army), this is not the place to talk."

Ibrahim, who was tall, elegant, and very intelligent at first sight, quickly pointed to the white Kabat Castle not far away, and said with a smile: "The prince has come across the ocean. He must be tired from the journey, so why not stay in Kabat?"

Let's rest in the castle for a few days. My father has prepared a banquet to wash away the dust. He has also invited the best belly dancer in Egypt. I hope that the prince will come to see you."

As he spoke, Ibrahim turned around halfway and raised his hand to point at the two luxury carriages parked not far away.

Ali Pasha also made a sign of respecting guests, and then he and Zhuge Weijiu walked towards the first carriage while talking and laughing, while Zhuge Weixue followed Ibrahim and got into the carriage at the back.

A carriage.

Zhuge Weixue and Ibrahim were classmates at Jinling University for a while in their early years. Although they were not in the same department at Jinling University, the number of times they met together would not exceed ten, and the words they exchanged were all kind words.

But now, like old friends whom I haven’t seen for many years, we got into the last carriage hand in hand.

As soon as the car door closed, the two people who had been talking politely just now suddenly looked solemn.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Special Envoy," Ibrahim formally addressed Zhuge Weidao, "When shall we take action?"

"Do it?" Zhuge Weixue asked with a smile, "With whom?"

"Of course with the United Kingdom!" Ibrahim said, "We can temporarily block the Suez Canal for a month. Can you break through the British defenses in the Strait of Malacca and sail the fleet into the Red Sea within a month?"

Really ready to fight?

Zhuge Weixue smiled and said: "You are so frank! But with all due respect, we believe that Egypt's military strength is limited and not even enough to capture all the fortresses along the Suez Canal. Although you can temporarily block the canal with artillery and mines

, but as long as the British army arrives in Alexandria, your Majesty will have to surrender to the British Empire. At that time, instead of reducing Britain's influence in the Middle East, it may actually increase."

Sure enough, it is still the same Ming Dynasty, and it is true that it is still the same group of Zhuges.

After listening to Zhuge Weixue's words, Ibrahim couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Zhuge Weixue went on to say: "We have an old saying in China that you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. So it is not Egypt's turn to rise yet."

"Whose turn is it now?" Ibrahim asked.

"Japan!" Zhuge Weixue said with a smile, "I think this is not a secret. Before we challenge the hegemony of the Western Catholic powers, we should first complete the unification of Japan within the East Asian family and become a vassal state under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

as a vassal or ally, rather than a country with independent will and complete sovereignty!”

Although Zhuge Weidao proposed a complete set of methods to control Japan, Zhuge Weijiu still hoped to make Japan a national state - because "the heavenly kingdom" is the sacred value of the Ming Dynasty!

"What about us in Egypt?" Ibrahim asked again, "What should we do? Now the Europeans have formed an eight-nation coalition with the intention of destroying the Turkish Empire, and the Turkish Empire is simply unable to resist the attack of the eight European countries!"

"Actually, it's not the Eight Kingdoms," Zhuge Weixue said with a smile, "but the Ten Kingdoms Alliance!"

"Ten countries?" Ibrahim was stunned, "Who else is there?"

“There’s also Daming and Dajin!”

"What?" Ibrahim couldn't believe his ears, "Your Excellency, deputy envoy, what did you say?"

"I said, the Ming Empire and the Jin Empire will also join, thus turning the Eight-Nation Alliance into the Ten-Nation Alliance!" Zhuge Wei said, "This is the reason why His Highness King Wu went to Europe in person! But don't worry, although the Eight-Nation Alliance

The coalition has become a ten-nation coalition, but having more countries does not mean that the army is strong and will destroy Turkey. One Rakshasa country is enough, and other countries joining will only add chaos!"

"So," Ibrahim asked, "you are here to cause trouble?"

"We are here to cause chaos for our opponents," Zhuge Wei said, "and to help our true friends at the same time!"

"True friend? Who is Daming's true friend?"

"The Bourbon dynasty of France, the Romanov dynasty of Rakshasa, and of course, Ibrahim, you and your father Ali Pasha!" Zhuge Wei said, "You are all true friends of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Oh?" Ibrahim said noncommittally.

Of course he knew that Zhuge Weijiu was the sub-father of Louis XVII, and that Zhuge Weixue's younger brother Zhuge Weidao was married to Grand Duchess Natalie of Rakshasa. However, he and his father Ali Pasha did not seem to have such a deep connection with the Zhuge family.

friendship.

"What the Ottoman Turkish Empire inherited was not the Roman Empire, but the Arab Empire. Egypt, Syria, and Iraq have always been the core areas of the Arab Empire!" Zhuge Weixue said word by word, "Now, the demise of the Turkish Empire is unstoppable.

The responsibility of continuing the Arab Empire has fallen on Egypt's shoulders! Egypt should unite Syria and Iraq, and rebuild an Arab Empire after the collapse of the Turkish Empire!"

UK, London, 10 Downing Street.

At the same moment, the conference room at No. 10 Downing Street was filled with clouds and the atmosphere was so gloomy that it was almost suffocating! The British Prime Minister, Lord Jenkinson of Liverpool, sat helplessly in his seat, staring blankly at the news that had just been sent via cable telegram from Osaka.

The battle report to London - this is simply outrageous! The British Empire's carefully planned "Japanese War" plan was set on fire because of several East India Company ships!

What's even more outrageous is that the "Sovereign" class battleship, the pride of the British Royal Navy, performed extremely poorly after entering the battlefield. The four main guns were easily destroyed by the enemy due to lack of protection, and the 13.5-inch picric acid shell was killed.

The fire caused by the explosion forced the crew to flood the ammunition depot to save the battleship. As a result, the Revenge lost its speed after losing its main gun, and finally had to withdraw from the battle!

What is even more unexpected is that the Ming Empire once again seized the opportunity of military reform and created the nemesis of battleships-the bombing airship, which blew up the battleship Indomitable in one fell swoop. Can the Royal Navy still survive in the new era?
