"His Majesty the Emperor, the Revenge just sent a telegram that the Indian fleet, which was carrying out landing operations on the beach near Port Muscat, was volley-bombed by Ming army airship clusters."

Charlie Elliot frowned and reported the latest battle situation to Emperor William who was lying on the backrest. The emperor, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, suddenly sat up, stared at Charlie Elliot with big eyes, and looked at Charlie Elliot with a little panic.

Just ask: "Loss, lost the battleship?"

After learning that his Indian fleet was raided by the Ming army's torpedo boat troops and lost two armored cruisers and two cruisers, the originally confident Indian emperor suddenly became depressed, first on the Warrior like the ants on the hot pan

He was walking around the combat command center until he was invited back to his luxurious bedroom to rest by Marquis Nelson.

After returning to the bedroom, Emperor William felt dizzy and chest tightness, so he quickly called the Chinese medicine doctor on the boat to take the pulse, and fed Musk Baoxin Pills and Luobuma Hypertensive Pills, and told him not to be excited to lie down. This was a little better.

Elliot rushed in with the telegram again.

"No, no loss of battleships." Charlie Elliot answered truthfully.

"Then, that's the loss of armored cruisers." The emperor's chest began to stuffy again - armored cruisers are also very precious! In the last battle in Goa, one Blake-class was lost, and two other Blakes were also lost.

The dock that has been upgraded to Hindustan Shipyard has not been repaired yet. It seems that the damage is more serious than reported!

"No, nor did the armored cruiser be lost." Charlie Elliot answered truthfully.

"That's the loss of the second-class third-class cruiser." Emperor William felt better.

"No, there is no loss of second-class third-class cruisers."

"That's the troop ship?" Emperor William drew a cross on his chest, "May the true God, Shiva, the master bless those brave Indians, Amen."

"No, no, there was no sunk ship."

The emperor was stunned, "Then what did they explode?"

"In fact" Charlie Elliot dragged his voice and frowned.

"What actually?" Emperor William's heart thumped straight.

"In fact, they didn't explode anything!" Charlie Elliot said in an incredible tone, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Ming Dynasty seems to have been defeated again this time!"

This is the first time that the Ming Dynasty was defeated by Da Ying. Wasn’t it just “beaten to defeat the Persian Gulf” last time? So it’s not surprising that it will defeat again this time, so I don’t know where they will “beaten”?

Emperor William became nervous again, "Charlie. They didn't 'defeat' where did they 'defeat' again?"

"No, no," Charlie Elliot shook his head quickly, "His Majesty the Emperor, General Codlinton's telegram said that the Ming Dynasty invested 36 small airships to bomb our fleet this time. However, due to the air defense of the Indian Fleet

The firepower was too strong, and the Ming Dynasty's airships did not dare to lower the height, so they could only carry out volley bombing at an altitude of 3,000 meters. They dropped a total of 72 bombs, but none of them hit it!"

Now Emperor William was finally relieved. The Ming Dynasty should not have invented the tactic of airships and people hanging gliding bombs, and was still stupid and stupid to use airships to throw bombs. However, after the Battle of Kiyi Waterway, the British and Indian Royal Navy were the ones who were the Royal Navy.

The ships have strengthened their air defense and installed many air defense guns that can be used to accurately strike airships. Therefore, the Ming army's airships can no longer drop bombs at low altitudes, and can only climb to a height of 3,000 meters and throw bombs down.

But what's the point of being thrown down from an average unguided bomb from a height of 3,000 meters? It's hanging a fixed target, let alone a ship that takes a Z-line route at a speed of more than ten knots? It's not accurate at all.

"Then we were still sunk four ships by them," Emperor William still felt that something was wrong. "And they didn't even lose four to zero in a boat, how can we win?"

"But we have successfully landed near Port Muscat, established a solid beachhead, and captured two fishing ports!" said Charlie Elliot, "This is a major victory, enough to compensate for the four.

The loss of the old cruiser.”

"real?"

Emperor William looked at Charlie Elliot.

Elliot nodded with certainty: "His Majesty the Emperor, have you forgotten the purpose of our feint attack on Muscat?"

Emperor William then realized it, nodded and said, "Yes, our goal is to force the Ming Empire to send their main fleet to fight through the Strait of Malacca and enter the Indian Ocean to rescue the Persian Gulf fleet."

"That's right," said Elliot, "and to achieve this goal, we must land in Muscat, occupy the port of Muscat, and then transport a large number of ground troops from India to Oman, and then advance to the Hajal Mountains.

.As long as we can capture the Hajjal Mountains, Ras Khaimah will be safe! Once we capture Ras Khaimah, the Persian Gulf fleet of the Ming Empire will be over!"

"Then can we seize the Hajal Mountains and Ras Khaimah?"

"Yes! As long as we invest enough Indian ground forces, victory will always come!"

Borneo, Brunei Bay Base.

In the gentle evening breeze, a flying dragon four-type fast airship seemed to have golden light under the setting sun, like a flying magic weapon, descending from the sky and landing on the empty runway of the newly built Brunei Airport.

Sitting in this airship, Zhuge Weidao grinned, looked at the newly built airport, fantasizing about the ups and downs of war eagles, and was even more looking forward to the future.

Zhuge Weidao, who is familiar with another history, knew that the World War I and II period was the fastest development period of aircraft, from the invention of aircraft to the fact that it could dominate the battlefield, but in just over 30 years. This was the development of aviation technology during the interwar period.

The result of a slowdown. If the confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and Britain could continue, the investment of both sides in aircraft would only continue to increase, and it would be entirely possible to ripen air weapons within fifteen years!

So in the conceivable future, the ones that decide the outcome above the ocean must be aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft!

When the airship stopped, Zhuge Weidao found that Guan Tianpei and Chen Jian was already waiting for him on the runway. Zhuge Weidao quickly pushed open the airship's hatch door, then went down to the ground along the gangway he had boarded, and then flew again

Walk towards the two.

"Guan Junmen, Mr. Chen, what's the situation?"

Although the New Ming Dynasty already had awesome equipment such as "battleship cruise torpedo boats" and "aircraft battle cruise torpedo boats", it still retained many traditions. For example, the white woolen worn by Zhuge Weidao, Guan Tianpei and Chen Jian.

Military uniforms combine many traditional elements, and the names in the military are also relatively traditional.

Guan Tianpei's admiral of the Nanyang Fleet can be called "Military Gate". Chen Jian's official position is the general of the squadron, and can be called "General Town". Zhuge Weidao is an admiral of the aviation force, so he can also be called "Military Gate".

", otherwise, according to his aviation fleet, at most, he would be a general level.

"Zhuge Army," Chen Jiandao, "it is now possible to confirm that the main force of the Indian Navy is in the Gulf of Oman."

"Is it really certain?" Zhuge Weidao was still a little skeptical - the oil in the Persian Gulf has not been leaked yet?

Guan Tianpei nodded: "Daozi, just when you came from Ryukyu, we were informed by the Persian Gulf fleet, and the airships they sent found a huge fleet of ships on the sea near Muscat in the Gulf of Oman. At least.

There were 150 ships of various types spread out on the sea surface of the Gulf of Oman. The number of British and Indian soldiers landed was also large. In just one morning, more than 5,000 people landed on the shore!

In addition, we also received news that Emperor William had already commanded the army, most of which were in the large fleet outside the Gulf of Oman.”

"The emperor personally led the army to the front line?" Zhuge Weidao was stunned. "He really thought that this was the era of the Napoleonic War?"

"What's this?" Guan Taipei smiled, "Emperor William is four years older than Napoleon. I am twelve years younger than Napoleon. You are even a little closer to Napoleon (Natalie's sister almost married Napoleon)

Woolen cloth!"

As he said that, Guan Taiping patted Zhuge Weidao's shoulder again, a little stunned: "Let's go, go to the war room before talking!"
