Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 772

[Chapter 772]

Calcutta.

The residence of the British Governor-General in Tianzhu.

At the moment, Governor Bolt in a black tuxedo is drinking red wine and chatting with Frankish Governor Mark Wen in the courtyard of their garden.

Two Tianzhu girls waited beside the two of them, adding red wine to them from time to time.

In the garden, the white housekeeper is leading the Tianzhu servants to trim the flower branches.

“Governor Bolt, if it weren’t for these Tianzhu servants, I almost thought I had come to Britain.” Taking a sip of the red wine, Mark Wen gently shook the glass, envious.

In the West, there is no country that does not envy Tianzhu under the control of Britain.

In fact, Britain also regards Tianzhu as a forbidden area that others cannot touch.

Tianzhu, dozens of states, more than 100 million people.

What an enviable huge market this is.

It is precisely because of the existence of Tianzhu that Britain has a place to digest the excess industrial products.

Even, because of fear that the country of Ross, which has expanded its power to the Middle Earth, would extend its magic hand to Tianzhu, Britain has blocked the country of Ross everywhere these years.

It can be seen that Britain attaches great importance to Tianzhu.

“No, this is Britain, one of the territories of the emperor on which the sun never sets.” Bolt straightened up and emphasized it again.

Over the years, Calcutta has had railway tracks and steam locomotives, as well as a steam industry, and Britain has invested heavily.

Tianzhu is already an indispensable part of Britain, otherwise Britain will suffer heavy losses.

This is also one of the reasons why he was so nervous when the British fleet in Japan was wiped out.

A demon has risen in the east, if it is allowed to wreak havoc, Tianzhu will be under the most direct threat.

Because of this, after inviting Mark Wen to Calcutta for the first time, he invited Mark Wen to Calcutta for the second time to deepen their contacts.

As the governor of Tianzhu, he is actually responsible for all affairs of Tianzhu and the East. In the face of emergencies, he has the right to use all military and diplomatic means.

In addition to inviting Mark Wen, during this period of time, he also discussed the situation in the East with Governor Fei Wen of Franz and Governor Trem of Stedam.

He was shocked by the news that the British fleet had been annihilated by King Yan’s fleet.

As far as he is concerned, he must integrate all the powers of the western lands in the east to deal with the rise of King Yan in the north.

For this reason, based on the information provided by Dongying, he even sent people to Tubo to try to get in touch with Beidi and Ivan, the consul of the Ross State in Beidi.

In short, he had to ensure the safety of Britain’s eastern colonies until Parliament made a decision.

And strengthen the role of the Eastern Land Alliance to deal with this King Yan.

“It’s just that this pearl is in danger now, just like your Frank’s pearl, Cochin.” Bolt sighed, and then involved Cochin.

Sure enough, Mark Wen’s expression sank.

Back then, after Sam’s country became independent, Dang even planned to drive the forces of the Western Turks away from the New World.

It is conceivable, what will this king of Yan do after he unifies and sings praises?

After all, the King of Yan has already extended his hand to Dongpu.

Moreover, various sources of information showed that this King of Yan was different from any traditional Eastern dignitaries.

He built a huge fleet, obviously ambitious to compete with them for spheres of influence in the West.

It was feeling this that he decided to accept Bolt’s request.

Britain didn’t want to lose Tianzhu, and they didn’t want to lose Cochin.

In addition, there is another point that Britain shared with him a musket secret that could subvert the current way of warfare.

This secret is enough to tempt him, Frank, and cooperate with Britain’s actions in the East.

“You don’t need to remind me deliberately, of course I remember this.” Mark Wen said.

Bolt smiled softly, thinking of something, he said: “By the way, I have an idea. I plan to send envoys to Yanzhou to establish diplomatic relations with the King of Yan. Do you Frank want to participate?”

“Diplomatic relations? Are you frightened by the natives of Dasong, ready to submit to them?” Mark Wen joked.

In fact, he guessed what Bolt was thinking, and he already agreed in his heart.

In the past two or three hundred years, they have almost conquered the whole world. Apart from relying on guns, they are as cunning as foxes.

Bolt lay back on the back of the chair and smiled, “This is just a tactic to delay our direct conflict with the King of Yan, and also, to understand our opponent’s hole cards, pretend to seek peace, and confuse the King of Yan. “The

British fleet in the east is finished, and it will take time to dispatch a new fleet from the mainland.

During this time, he didn’t want King Yan’s fleet to arrive in Tianzhu and endanger Britain’s trade.

As for sending envoys, several months have passed since they came and went, which can buy them a lot of time.

However, this is obviously not enough, so he said to Ma Kewen again: “But before that, I still hope that your Frankish navy can guarantee the safety of the Malacca Strait. Sterdan also agreed, and they will assist you. It seems that he is still unwilling to get involved in the conflict with King Yan.”

Hearing this, Ma Kewen snorted coldly, “It’s up to him, as long as Britain and our Franks jointly put pressure on Frangji, I’m not afraid they won’t cooperate.”

Malacca is An important channel from the Tianzhu sea area to the Dongtu sea area.

The strait is currently under British control.

There are forts and garrisons on both sides of the strait.

And they, Frank, have six steamships and eight sailing warships in Cochin.

Relying on Britain’s fortifications and Sterdam’s fleet, they can prevent the passage of King Yan’s fleet.

After talking about this, what did Mark Wen think of, “By the way, don’t forget your promise to provide rifled guns and ammunition to my cochin Frankish army.”

In the East, only Britain has the ability to produce guns and artillery.

Although they have mastered the secret of the great firearms, the Britons want their Franks to defeat the King Yan’s army together just as they did when they formed a coalition army to defeat the Ross in the West.

They have to take on more responsibility.

“You don’t have to worry about that. When Tianzhu’s factory machinery turns, rifled guns will flow out like running water.” Bolt smiled.

Wolf couldn’t come back, but the bullet he got from Sam’s Countryman did.

After some experimentation, they discovered the secret of the tapered bullet.

This shocked them.

Regarding this secret, he naturally wanted to hide it, but he knew that this secret could not be concealed after all.

Instead of hiding it, it is better to use it to exchange benefits with Frank to show your sincerity.

In fact, his decision was right.

Now, they have Frank’s support.

The matter was agreed upon, and three days later a British merchant ship sailed for Daesong.

They are going to Yanzhou to try to establish diplomatic relations with King Yan.
