Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 702 Britain and the East?

A few days before the Kyushu Army's full-scale crusade against Nanyang, the Westerners in Thang Long City and Hoi An Port realized that something was wrong.

"Putmans, follow me to the pier to see, something is wrong!" The pot-bellied Dutch businessman was still in Thang Long City, and hurried to find Putmans.

Putmans, the governor of Yizhou who once dominated the southeast coast, is now lying on the bed like a salted fish, shutting himself out.He was so pissed off by the Chief Secretary of Cochin many times that he was so angry that he fell ill.

"Cruise, aren't you going back to Europe today? Why did you turn back suddenly?" Putmans asked weakly.

"Do you know what I saw at the pier when I was leaving?" Cruise said.

"What?" Putmans asked.

"Battleship, a very big battleship, so big!" Cruise gestured.

Putmans had a black line on his face, who knows how big it is just by making gestures like this!

"Calm down first and talk properly." Putmans said helplessly.

"Follow me to the pier, something really serious happened this time. The Kyushu Army doesn't just want to intervene in the Malay Peninsula!" Cruz pulled him up regardless of Putmans still lying on the bed .

"I'll let you go." Putmans had to get up.

At the pier of Shenglong City, the main ship of the Zhili Fleet, the Victory, is still moored here, and the frigates of the Victory formation are also close to the Victory. They cover the sky here, like a group of floating castles on the sea. .Soldiers from the Zhili Fleet were guarding the warships on the pier, preventing idlers from approaching.This time the Zhili Fleet only came with the Victory, a formation in Thang Long City, and several other formations in Hoi An Port.

Seeing the Victory with three decks, Putmans couldn't even breathe smoothly.The sense of oppression brought by this battleship is unprecedented!

"It's hard...unbelievable, why is there such a huge warship in this world!" Putmans opened his mouth in surprise, unable to believe that what he saw before him was real, "Even a Spanish galleon is no more than More than 30 meters long, this battleship is twice the length of the Spanish galleon, twice the length. Cruise, can you believe it?"

Cruise shook his head: "I can't believe it either, but seeing is believing. There is indeed such a big warship in front of me. That's why I must ask you to come and take a look, otherwise you won't believe me anyway. .”

Putmans was shocked and couldn't speak any more. He immediately noticed that some of the soldiers guarding the pier below the Victory were from the East, and some were from the West. They all wore the costumes of the Kyushu Army Navy soldiers, and they seemed to belong to a formation. .This mixed formation made it difficult for him to understand.He didn't know that these soldiers were the western soldiers on the battleship that Chu Yun summoned and had been brainwashed by the system, while the eastern soldiers were recruited from China.

Putmans pointed to the Western soldiers of the Zhili Fleet, and said to Cruise: "Cruise, have you seen that those people look like we are from Europe, why are they helping the Kyushu Army? ? Is this warship entrusted by the Kyushu Army to our European countries to help them build such a warship? Britons? Spaniards? Or French? "

"Putmans, have you ever thought about which country in Europe has the ability to help the Orientals build such a huge warship? If any country is capable of producing such a warship, then the war in Europe has long been It's over." Cruise growled hysterically to calm Putmans down.

There is cold sweat behind Putmans. Yes, if any country in Europe is capable of producing a giant sailing battleship like the Victory, it would have built a super fleet that is stronger than the Spanish Armada across the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. .

"But what are these Westerners who seem to be loyal to the Kyushu Army? Let's go up and ask them." Putmans and Cruise were full of curiosity about the warships and Western soldiers of the Kyushu Army, so they went forward to ask the West The soldiers inquired about the situation.

However, the Western soldiers of the Zhili Fleet were summoned by the Industrial Revolution system when the battleships were called, otherwise no one would operate these Western-style sailing battleships, and they also taught the local Kyushu Army soldiers the skills of shipbuilding and naval warfare at the end of the 18th century technology.Their memories have been tampered with by the industrial revolution system. Although they can still have normal dialogues and exchanges with independent personalities, they will only keep silent when it comes to their origins.

Putmans and Cruise talked with the Western sailors loyal to the Kyushu Army. They seemed to have a good conversation, but Putmans and Cruise couldn't get anything useful from them.They basically only confirmed one thing, these western big guns have a British accent.

They heard it right, the Victory was indeed summoned from Britain more than 100 years later in parallel time and space, with some soldiers from the British Royal Navy along with it, but it is very different from Britain here.

It turned out that the Britons were with the Kyushu Army!Putmans and Cruise came to a startling conclusion.

"It's no wonder that in the past four expeditions by the Spanish Armada to Britain, they were all defeated by the British navy. It turned out that they were hidden. The British Navy may have more than one such battleship. They must be hiding in unknown ports, waiting If necessary, they can achieve the world’s naval supremacy in one fell swoop. I said how the Eastern navy could have grown from scratch in the past few years, because it was backed by the British.” Putmans reasoned with reason.

Cruise also joined in the reasoning, and then came to an even more shocking conclusion: "We Spain, France, and the Netherlands have the greatest power in the Spice Islands, but the Britons have never been able to open the situation, so they united with the Eastern Do you want to divide the world into two halves, the eastern hemisphere to be ruled by the eastern empire, and the western hemisphere to be ruled by them Britons?"

"It's not impossible, we have to give feedback to the European side, promptly sanction the fact that the Britons aided the Easterners, and guard against the fact that Britain may hide a powerful fleet somewhere. The Britons also sent a powerful fleet What is the purpose of the fleet coming to Thang Long City? Could it be..." Putmans said.

"They want to destroy us with the Orientals and occupy the Spice Islands!" Putmans and Cruise shouted almost at the same time.
