Bombay, the capital of Emperor William, has now completely returned to calm. Except for the trade routes to overseas being cut off from time to time by the Persian Gulf Squadron of the Ming Navy's Western Fleet, there is really no atmosphere of war at all. The British and Indians in the city are supposed to eat, drink, and have fun. Those who are supposed to be cows and horses will of course continue to be cows and horses in the next life.
What a harmonious and happy atmosphere!
The year before last, on November 8, 1830, the Ming Navy's aircraft-carrying battlecruiser formation, which had "failed" in the naval battle, had "desperately" bombed the most prosperous city in India, and was used by the invincible Emperor William. Pistol shot back. After that, the Indian Asandu in Bombay was still very calm, but the white people here seemed very nervous. They had to deploy defenses, train troops, build aircraft and warships, and even established a Hindustan Aircraft Company. After struggling for a year, it seemed that the Ming Empire had no intention of attacking India, so it finally settled down and continued to dominate the Indian people.
Of course, stability is only superficial. Whether it was Emperor William, Prime Minister Amherst, or the elderly Marquis Nelson, all of them were actually panicking in their hearts.
Because they all know that the Ming Empire has "the heart of the Death Seal that will never die"!
The contents of the secret negotiations held in Vienna between the British government and the Ming Dynasty were known to the top figures in the Indian Empire - the Ming Empire had already made conditions for the British Empire to "surrender and lose half", while India and Australia, Unfortunately, they are all in the "lose half" half. Although Australia wants them all, even the surrounding New Zealand, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, etc. cannot be spared! And India can still negotiate and leave some for the future daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, Victoria, as a private house, but it seems that there is nothing going on here without Emperor William!
And even if there is a share of Emperor William, William will not be happy. How could he be willing to accept the fact that he was the Great Emperor of All India, but finally became the Emperor of West India or the Emperor of East India?
In addition, William has often heard people say things like "William died and scored points in India" these days. It's not necessarily said behind his back, some of them were actually reported by Ming Dynasty generously written by Ming Dynasty!
Now there is such a "Secret Report on William's Death and India's Separation" on Emperor William's desk. This report was sent by the Indian Empire's Embassy in Dajin from Bagua City, the capital of Dajin, and Bagua City was also The source of the rumor that "William died in Indy"!
According to this report, this rumor was made by Emperor Daoguang of the Kingdom of Jin, his son "Alternate Xianfeng", and the old immortal Heshen and Zhongtang who were fortune tellers. It is said that Emperor William has been in trouble for a few years. . And as soon as William dies, India will have to break up and divide it into at least twenty or thirty parts!
It's so hateful!
Emperor William's face turned black with anger. When he saw this, he knew what Daoguang and Xianfeng were thinking. They also want to take advantage of the opportunity of "William dies and India is divided" to get a piece of India's big fat meat!
"Yellow peril! Yellow peril! It's all yellow peril. There is no good person. If I defeat the damn Daikin, I will definitely force them to cede land, pay compensation, and force them to sign the most harsh treaty!"
While Emperor William was swearing there, a servant suddenly announced from outside the office door: "The chief minister, Earl Amherst, and the minister of war, the Marquis Nelson, have arrived!"
Hearing the arrival of these two men, Emperor William, who had just vowed to invade Dajin, immediately became nervous. Could it be that the Ming army was calling?
These days, of course, Emperor William got the news that the "American traitors" were being bullied by the Ming Dynasty, Mexico, and Japan. He originally had no good impression of the American traitors, but after hearing about their recent experiences, he couldn't help but sympathize. .
Daming is such a bully!
If you want to expand in the western part of North America, occupy Oregon, etc., it will still be in terms of size. Ming imperialism!
But the problem is that they actually extended their claws into the Caribbean Sea, occupied a piece of land in Texas, and used the Japanese as coolies and cannon fodder to operate the Texas land!
This is not the most hateful thing. The most hateful thing is that Ming Dynasty insisted on sending out ships, cannons, guns and troops to support Mexico, which is like a puddle of mud, to invade the United States!
This is simply a slap in the face of the Anglo-Saxons and all European Protestants. What is even more hateful is that the Ming Dynasty actually wanted Florida to be independent, and even wrote the "Emancipation of the Black Slaves and Indians Proclamation" declaring that the black slaves wanted to be united with the Indians. White people are equal, Indians are Americans!
This is simply bullying the United States to death!
Although the United States is a rebellious son of Great Britain, it is also a rebellious son of its own, and it is not the turn of Ming, an outsider, to teach it a lesson.
What the Ming Dynasty did in North America also frightened Emperor William. Their flower work in North America seemed like it could be replicated in India!
Even if India's national conditions are different from those of North America, who can withstand tomorrow's massive squandering of resources?
Those Indians are accustomed to the hierarchical system and foreign oppression, but as long as the Ming Dynasty defeats the British-Indian Army of the Indian Empire, then they will say whatever they want.
Indians will never shed a tear for the failed British Empire!
Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty uses the resources to act recklessly in North America, Emperor William will really die.
"Come in, come in quickly!"
Emperor William quickly called two of his confidants to come in and talk.
Then he saw Amherst walking in anxiously, supporting Marquis Nelson on crutches.
"What's going on? Did Ming Dynasty send troops?"
Emperor William's heart beat faster when he asked questions.
"Your Majesty, don't worry," Marquis Nelson said slowly, "Currently we have not received any news that the Ming Dynasty is about to attack India. Their Western Fleet has just occupied Sumatra, the Southern Fleet has occupied the Southern Luzon Islands, and the Pacific Fleet has just occupied Sumatra. We will focus our main efforts on North America and will not attack India for the time being."
Count Amherst also said: "Your Majesty, according to the intelligence obtained by the London government, the next target of the Ming Empire should be Australia."
"How can I see it?"
"Because their most outstanding naval commander, Vice Admiral Zhuge Weidao, currently serves as the admiral of the Pacific Fleet, and the Pacific Fleet has continued to be strengthened in recent months."
"Australia." Emperor William took a breath of the cool air blown by the air conditioner, "Then what should we do?"
Losing Australia and India is a matter of time!
If the Ming Dynasty captures Australia, then the Pacific Ocean will almost be the inner lake of the Ming Dynasty. It can be renamed "Da Ming Lake" in the future! The main forces of the Ming Dynasty's Pacific Fleet and Nanyang Fleet will be able to come to the Indian Ocean. By then, Emperor William will be trapped in India.
"Your Majesty," said Marquis Nelson, "what we are facing now is a world-wide war. As the monarch of the British Empire, you must return to the true center of the empire - London! Only in London can you be safe. Adequate protection. At the same time, it can also ensure that India gets enough defensive power! Therefore, Baron Amherst and I both recommend that your Majesty set out to return to London immediately and shoulder the responsibilities of the entire empire, rather than focusing too much on one corner of India."
He emphasized "security". Once India was surrounded by the Ming Dynasty's navy, it was difficult to say whether Emperor William could leave safely. If he can't leave, it will really be "William dies and Indy points".
Emperor William nodded and said: "London is indeed safer than India, but as the emperor of the Indian Empire, I cannot leave my Indian Guards. Being with them allows me to always remember that I am the emperor of the Indian Empire! So I have to take them to London with the Marquis and Earl, do you think this is okay?"
