1825 My New Daming

Chapter 286 Ming Navy, come and fall into the trap of Emperor William! (seeking subscription and monthly ticket)
The Emperor of the Indian Empire, the King of the United Kingdom, and His Majesty King William of the Kingdom of Hanover, who was personally conquered by the emperor, are now sitting firmly on a full-loaded iron-clad ship with a displacement of more than [-] tons.

And the location of this machine-sail ironclad ship is located near the port of Mumbai. The picturesque island of Elephant Island is about 10 kilometers away from the Mumbai Palace in a straight line!

In addition, Emperor William also had an extremely luxurious palace on the Elephant Island with blue water and white sand.When His Majesty the Emperor is tired from his personal conquest, he can go to his palace and have a "Happy" with the female slaves.It's such a joy to be the emperor!
Of course, Kaiser William is still on the Koh Chang personally, not on vacation.Because the Warrior he was on had undergone a comprehensive transformation before arriving in India!The latest long-wave radio station in the UK was installed, and a naval command center was built. After arriving at Koh Chang, Mumbai, it was directly connected to wired telegraphs and wired telephones, and it was also installed. Equipment - air temperature regulation system!
It is no exaggeration to say that now, as long as Emperor William stays on the Warrior, blowing on the air conditioner, drinking coffee, and smoking a cigar, he can command the navy and army through telegrams and telephones, and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

The so-called "planning the bank of Elephant Island and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away" is talking about the Emperor William of Great India!
"Your Majesty, Admiral Codrington has reported that his fleet has completely blocked the Gulf of Oman and cleared the waters off Muscat. Now it is ready to launch bombardment and landing operations at any time!"

The one who was reporting to Emperor William the main force of the Indian fleet that was feinting to attack the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf was precisely that Charlie Elliot who almost lost his ass in the battle of the Jiyi Waterway.When Emperor William came to India to usurp the throne, he wanted someone who knew both the navy and India to be his naval adjutant.As a result, his old boss, Nelson, recommended Charlie Elliot.So Charlie Elliot, who retired because of his "hip injury", put on his military uniform again, went back to work, and got a good job.

Emperor William folded his arms and wandered around a large chart platform. A few naval staff officers who could tell they were Indians each put a long push rod on the chart, which was originally placed far away from Muscat. Dozens of wooden ship models farther away pushed forward again.Then he took a few steps back respectfully and stood by.

For the service of these Indian servants, Emperor William was very satisfied. Just look at their respectful attitude, and you can see how grateful they are to the Anglo-Saxons for their country!This is really a gift from God!Can anyone imagine what this country would have become without the British Empire and the Anzas?

Emperor William of India asked again: "Where is Admiral Hood's fleet?"

"It has bypassed the island of Ceylon," Charlie Elliot said. "The exact location is not clear, because Lieutenant Admiral Hood's Second Indian Fleet formation is currently implementing radio silence, but their approximate location can still be guessed." Yes. About 300 nautical miles southwest of Sumatra Island, basically arrived at the designated location."

The so-called Second Indian Fleet is a formation dominated by cutting-edge warships that came out of the British "997" overtime. Its main force includes 22 battleships, 20 armored cruisers, and 15 motherships that just arrived from the British mainland. In addition, The two Blake-class ships that completed emergency repairs at the Hindustan Shipyard were also incorporated into the Second Indian Ocean Fleet.

"Where is Rear Admiral Rodney's Second Channel Fleet?" the emperor asked again.

"We're about to enter the strait," Charlie Elliot said. "We should be able to reach Temasek Fort the night after tomorrow and join Commodore William Baga's First Strait Fleet. Then they will have enough strength to fight the Ming Navy in the Strait of Malacca." The main force has fought."

The Second Strait Fleet is based on shallow-water heavy gunships. The so-called shallow-water heavy gunships are a strange combination of small stature, short legs, and giant guns.Of course, the small size means that the displacement is small, usually five or six thousand tons.Short legs means slow speed and short endurance.The speed is generally 6-10 knots, and the endurance of 2000 nautical miles is enough.The cannon, of course, is one or two heavy cannons with a diameter greater than or equal to 12 inches.

This kind of ship is actually a beggar's version of a battleship. It can't be used for decisive battles in the ocean, but it is still very fragrant to guard ports, bays, and straits.Even against big guys like the hero class, they actually have enough deterrent power-their 12-inch cannons give the hero class a shot, it is difficult for the hero class to be a hero.And even if the hero class sinks them, how expensive is the shallow water heavy artillery ship?And this kind of ship is built very quickly. As long as the 12-inch cannon is available, the British workers of 997 can make a whole pile for you in 3 months.Even if the Hindustan shipyard is replaced, several ships can be assembled a year.

So if you use this to line up with the hero level, the hero level will probably have to go around!
This time, Emperor William prepared a total of 10 shallow-water heavy gunships for the Second Strait Fleet, plus 5 shallow-water heavy gunships that belonged to the Strait Fleet, for a total of 15 shallow-water heavy gunships.

This strength is enough to block the main force of the Nanyang Fleet in the channel of the strait for a period of time.And a period of time is enough!

"Okay!" Emperor William nodded and glanced at Nelson again—although the idea of ​​the battle plan this time was proposed by Emperor William under the inspiration of the Marquis Nelson, the specific plan was made by the Marquis Nelson and a group of British Royal Navy. Made by elite staff.

Whether it works or not, only Marquis Nelson knows best.

Marquis Nelson nodded, and Emperor William immediately gained confidence, and asked again: "Where is the main force of the Ming Navy's Nanyang Fleet? Has it been dispatched?"

"Not yet!" Charlie Elliot said, "According to the latest information, they are still staying in Brunei Bay."

Marquis Nelson said: "Your Majesty, their Persian Gulf Fleet already exists. If they can attract the main force of the Indian Fleet, they will achieve their goal. It is normal that the main force of the Nanyang Fleet is not in a hurry to attack."

Emperor William snorted: "Then let Admiral Codrington beat me hard and occupy Muscat first! Let's see if they are in a hurry or not!"

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor!"

Along the coastlines on the north and south sides of Muscat, there were faint sounds of gunfire. After dozens of nautical miles, it sounded like faint thunder.This is a harassing attack by small ships of the Indian fleet on the strongholds on the long coastline of the Sultanate of Oman.Risking the risk of being attacked by the Ming Fleet that suddenly appeared in the Persian Gulf, these ships faithfully carried out the orders given by Admiral Codrington, exerting pressure on the few defenders throughout the day to attract their attention The force is spread over the long coastline.

And the huge fleet of the main force of the Indian Grand Fleet, as well as the transport fleet carrying the entire First Army of the Indian Army, have come to the ocean off Muscat with a murderous look.

This is an unprecedentedly powerful fleet, covering hundreds of transport ships, as well as coal carriers, laying ships, and minesweepers, like a floating city wall on the dark sea!

The main force of the Indian Grand Fleet finally arrived at the launching line of the landing offensive off the coast of Muscat at 1830 am on October 10, 15 in the Western calendar.The entire fleet began to adjust its formation while circling on the sea.Although the officers and soldiers of this fleet are a mixture of Britain and India, as long as there is no fierce battle, the performance of these officers and soldiers is still quite online.

Under the command of the British officers, the entire fleet operated in an orderly manner. The large warships protected the Indian Army's transport fleet around them, and the transport fleet was also covered by small warships, heading towards the beach near the port of Muscat. Separate the past.

A large-scale amphibious landing operation is about to begin!
