With firecrackers blasting and drums blaring, brothers Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Weixue (they are cousins) finally got off 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 came forward with smiles on their faces. Then I saw the Egyptian musicians on the pier playing traditional Chinese music again. Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, brothers Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Weixue took long strides and walked quickly down the gangway of the Shunfeng.
Although Ali Pasha was illiterate, he was a diligent and studious illiterate. In order to better learn from advanced countries in the East and West, he also learned some Chinese and English. His successor, Ibrahim, studied in England and Ming Dynasty, and spoke Chinese more fluently. I saw the two of them striding forward to greet each other, holding their hands and fists, and speaking in fluent or not very fluent Chinese.
"Brother Zhuge, little brother Ali is being 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’s really satisfying! 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 Su Yins Canal at any time! Your Majesty, when is the best 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 long ago, and the purpose was of course to collect the dogs. But this is not easy. After all, Ali Pasha of Egypt is a fox who has become a spirit. 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 Suins Canal. You can see how slippery his methods are.
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 Su Yinshi Canal... Of course, claiming is one thing, but actually taking action is another. thing.
But if you can say such things to Zhuge Weijiu in public, you are already siding with him!
It seems that to collect the dog, you have to rely on the 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 in appearance, 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 special castle for a few days... My father has prepared a banquet to wash away the dust, and 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. Son. But now they are like old friends whom they haven't seen for many years, holding hands and getting into the last carriage together.
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 Britain!" Ibrahim said, "We can temporarily block the Suins Canal... we can block it for a month. Can you break through the British defenses in the Strait of Malacca within a month? , sail the fleet into the Red Sea?"
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 Suyins Canal. Although you can use artillery and mines to temporarily Blockade of the canal, but as long as the British army reaches Alexandria, your father will have to surrender to the British Empire. By then, instead of reducing Britain's influence in the Middle East, it may actually increase."
Sure enough, it is still the Ming Dynasty, and it is still the same Zhuge...
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, you have to eat one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step... 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 within the East Asian family... .Japan should become a vassal or ally under the control of Ming Dynasty, 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 hopes 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 Da Ming and Da Jin!”
"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 in, 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 you also Don’t worry, although the Eight-Nation Alliance has become a Ten-Nation Alliance, more countries does not mean a stronger military... To 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 husband of Louis XVII, and that Zhuge Weixue's younger brother Zhuge Weidao married the Grand Duchess Natalie of Rakshasa... But he and his father Ali Pasha seemed to have the same relationship. The Zhuge family does not have such a deep friendship.
"The Ottoman Turkish Empire inherited not the Roman Empire, but the Arab Empire...and Egypt, Syria, and Yinlak have always been the core areas of the Arab Empire!" Zhuge Weixue said word by word, "Now, Turkey The empire's demise is unstoppable, and the responsibility of continuing the Arab Empire has fallen on Egypt's shoulders! Egypt should unite Syria and Yinrak, and rebuild an Arab Empire after the collapse of the Turkish Empire!"
...
10 Downing Street, London, UK.
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, Earl Jenkinson of Liverpool, sat helplessly in his seat, staring blankly at the battle report that had just been sent to London via cable telegraph from Osaka - this was simply outrageous! The British Empire's carefully planned "Japanese Fire" plan was set on fire because of a few East India Company ships!
What's even more outrageous is that the "Sovereign" class battleship, the pride of the British Royal Navy, performed 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 The fire caused by the explosion of the picric acid shell 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... The Royal Navy in the New Is it okay in this era?
