Chapter 315 The Failed Ming Navy! (Please subscribe, please vote)

Zhuge Weidao is now a loser and the whole world except the Chinese circle knows it!

Just when Zhuge Weidao was leading his first naval battle to Bombay in a swagger, news about his failure had spread from Bombay to the whole world. In London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Petersburg, and New York,

If you buy a newspaper on the streets of many other big cities in the Western civilization circle, you will know the failure of the Ming Empire's navy.

According to reliable information published in these newspapers, the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang Fleet recently encountered a severe attack by the Second Fleet of the Indian Imperial Navy in the Strait of Malacca, losing a total of 11 battleships and 19 armored cruisers!

Now, the main force of the defeated Nanyang Fleet returned to the Batam anchorage at the gate of Temasek Fortress to rest.

Next, they may cooperate with the weak Ming Army to launch a desperate attack on the strong Temasek Fortress and the Malay Peninsula, which has difficult terrain and is covered with impassable tropical jungles. But their ultimate failure is doomed.

The final fate of a squadron of the Nanyang Fleet that broke into the Indian Ocean may come even earlier! Because this fleet with 4 battleships and 4 aircraft carriers was forced into the Indian Ocean by the Indian Second Fleet in the Battle of Malacca.

, had to become a wandering fleet with no way out.

Now, because this wandering fleet could not gain a foothold in the East Indian Ocean, it had to flee into the West Indian Ocean, trying to join up with the Ming Dynasty's Persian Gulf Fleet that had previously defeated the Persian Gulf, and then together they lived in the deserted bay.

Unfortunately, even such an attempt to survive can no longer be realized. Because the Indian First Fleet, which successfully blocked the Ming Dynasty’s Persian Gulf Fleet in the Persian Gulf and supported the Indian Expeditionary Force’s landing in Muscat, is already completing

Before the mission returned triumphantly, tens of thousands of real and fake mines were placed at the exits of the Persian Gulf. It would take at least several months for the Persian Gulf Fleet of the Ming Navy to clear out those mines, and the team led by Zhuge Weidao

The supplies carried by a failed Ming naval fleet would never be able to last for several months.

The latest news is that the powerful Royal Navy of the Indian Empire, commanded by Earl Nelson, Admiral Codrington and Lieutenant General James Hood, is preparing to launch a north-south pincer attack on the Ming Dynasty's wandering fleet. Emperor William of the Indian Empire is in Bombay

This is what he declared when he gave a "triumphal speech" to the Indian Imperial Parliament!

"Members of the Empire, princes of India! Today, I would like to inform you of good news again, news about victory!"

In the Indian Parliament Building next to the Royal Palace in Mumbai, Emperor William was speaking on the podium.

As an emperor who has been in the House of Lords of the British Parliament for a long time, he is very good at giving speeches. After all, in the era when he was in the House of Lords, the power of the British House of Lords was still very great. In the past few years, the House of Lords of the British Parliament has repeatedly vetoed

"Catholic Interpretation Act" - According to this law, British Catholics and Protestants will gain theoretical equality. This is of course not allowed!

The Emperor of India waved a piece of paper that was probably a copy of the telegram and loudly shouted to the MPs below: "According to airship reconnaissance, the Ming Empire's wandering fleet that broke into the Indian Ocean is now being chased by the main force of Vice Admiral Hood's Indian Second Fleet and is approaching Bombay.

They are getting further and further away from the Strait of Malacca, and I am afraid they will never have a 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 be facing

The Ming Dynasty's wandering fleet forms a pincer attack from the north and the south. Victory will definitely 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 became excited after hearing what Emperor William said.

Of course, these leaders who can become members of parliament are not fools. They certainly know who is with them and who is their enemy - the Ming Empire has been "equality" and "equal land" since its beginning more than a hundred years ago.

” and the standard-bearer of “anti-colonialism”!

The members of the Indian Parliament are all high castes, all big landowners, and all colonists! Yes, they are all colonists! The only difference is when did they come to India to become colonizers? They came here three to four thousand years ago.

Aryan colonists (high caste Hindus), colonists from the Tianfang religion (high caste Hindus) who entered hundreds of years ago, or British colonists who came just over a hundred years ago?

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty’s equality, land equalization, and anti-colonial propositions were in conflict with the interests of various dignitaries in the Indian Empire!

Now that they know that the situation in the anti-Ming Dynasty is excellent, these representatives of the Indian princes and nobles will naturally cheer for joy.

"Members of the Empire, Princes of India!"

The emperor of the Indian Empire saw that everyone was in a high mood, so he struck while the iron was hot and started asking 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 a latest naval expansion plan.

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

The victory I am talking about does not mean to repel them from the Strait of Malacca, but to completely defeat this empire full of evil ambitions!

At that time, we will require the defeated Ming Empire to fully compensate for her ambitions and atrocities, and the amount of compensation will reach 1 billion pounds or more!

In addition, the Ming Empire will lose all its vassal states and most of its territory, and will be permanently disarmed, becoming a peace-loving medium-sized country that has been fully transformed by us and no longer poses any threat to India and the entire world.

In order to achieve this goal, I hope that the Indian Imperial Parliament can support this naval expansion plan!"

Supporting the naval expansion plan of course means paying money. Of course, the money comes from the middle and lower classes in India, and the upper class princes, nobles and Zaidaming landlords are only responsible for collecting money for the Indian emperor.

In addition, with the endorsement of the Indian Parliament, the Indian government can issue more bonds in London, Paris, and Frankfurt to raise the funds needed to develop the navy - Emperor William could only use this method before the United Kingdom entered a state of war.

Raised money.

As for the 30,000-ton battleship, it is actually still being designed by a British shipyard, and it has not been designed yet. It is hard to say whether it can start construction next year.

But this does not prevent Emperor William from making money!

As long as His Majesty the Emperor gets the money, bigger ships can always be built.

"Support! Support! Support."

In the conference hall of the Indian Empire Parliament Building, there was naturally a voice of support!

However, these Indian parliamentarians who supported Emperor William would never have imagined that the "failed" Ming Dynasty Navy's First Air Combat Formation had already arrived in the Indian Ocean less than 100 kilometers away from Mumbai.

Moreover, the first aviation battle formation is still preparing a "desperate" air attack plan - an air attack on Mumbai!

On the flight decks of the four aircraft carriers (aircraft-carrying battlecruisers), bombs have been hung and Ssangyong fighters with folding wings have been lowered. At this time, all preparations for takeoff have been completed.

All the pilots are already in place, and the propellers of the first batch of planes taking off have begun to rotate. They are just waiting for the order from the admiral Zhuge Weidao to fly to Bombay, the capital of the Indian Empire.

At this time, Zhuge Weidao was on the bridge of the Shu Zhongwang, holding a map of Mumbai and studying what should be bombed?

The power plant, the Royal Palace, the Parliament... and Bombay Bank Street all seem to be worthy of being blown up!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao picked up a pen, drew a few circles on the map, and then handed it to aviation staff Wang Wen and ordered: "That's it... Now, let the aviation force set off for bombing!"
