1825 My New Daming

Chapter 295 What does Daming want to do?Do they want to go to Australia? (seeking subscription and monthly ticket)
The Ming Dynasty’s declaration of war was announced to the whole world on the third day after the Indian Empire’s embassy in Beijing, Lou Dingcha, delivered the ultimatum.

And Emperor William, who was far away in Mumbai, of course also learned of it immediately.

"What? The Ming Empire wants to liberate the Indian countries?" The Indian Emperor William, who had finished his vacation and returned to the Ironclad Warrior to continue his personal expedition, heard the report from the Foreign Minister Stanton, but smiled contemptuously, "They probably thought they announced If we fight, we will definitely win, right? This is really ridiculous!"

"My lord, they have always felt good about themselves," Staunton said. "For most of the past 2000 years, this country has been the leader of the East Asian continent. Some hubris."

When Emperor William was listening to Stendon's report, he was still in the combat command center on the Warrior, looking down at the chart. When he heard Stendon mentioning Ming's arrogance, he looked up at himself The Foreign Minister, "Baron, has the arrogant Ming Empire declared war on the United Kingdom?"

"No." Baron Staunton shook his head, "Your Majesty, our enemies have arrogance and arrogance, and also fear and coercion. They are still afraid of the real strong."

Emperor William frowned, "Those people in the House of Commons seem to be so arrogant, but they are afraid of power!"

In fact, Emperor William hoped that Ming would declare war on the United Kingdom.Because only in this way can Britain enter a wartime state logically.Once Britain enters wartime, her budget ceiling will be greatly increased, and her industrial strength will be fully utilized.

However, although the Ming Dynasty pointed the finger at the British colonists in the declaration of war, it did not take the most crucial step. It was to declare war on the British Empire!
And if Ming Dynasty did not declare war, the House of Commons of the United Kingdom would not dare to take the step of declaring war easily.

"Your Majesty," laughed Staunton, Foreign Secretary of the Indian Empire, "all the members of the House of Commons in the British Parliament need is a victory. As long as we can win in the Strait of Malacca, a declaration of war will not be a problem."

"That's right," the Indian emperor nodded, "as long as we win in Malacca, all problems will be solved!"

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Marquis Nelson who was staring at the chart intently, "Marquis, do you think we can win?"

"Your Majesty, we should be able to win," Earl Nelson replied while staring at the chart.

On the sea chart, the small ship model that symbolizes the main force of the Ming Navy's Nanyang Fleet has arrived at the entrance of the Strait of Malacca.

The Ming Navy Fleet, which arrived at the east mouth of the Strait of Malacca, is currently seizing the islands belonging to the Dutch in that area, completely ignoring the Dutch.

"Should?" Kaiser Wilhelm asked. "Is there a problem?"

"No, no." Marquis Nelson shook his head, "Everything is going well now. The main force of the Ming Empire's Nanyang Fleet seems to be entering the Straits of Malacca soon, and the size of this fleet is far inferior to that of General Hood's second Indian fleet.

They have only 12 battleships and 12 armored cruisers, not a single airship carrier.Their airships don't have any man to fly glide bombs."

"It's normal," Emperor William laughed. "How do they know about naval warfare? They must believe that our main force is in the Gulf of Oman, so they recklessly used this little force to break into the Strait of Malacca.

In the final analysis, the Ming Empire was a land power. They only relied on their industrial strength to become a naval power, but when it came to the command and use of the navy, they were far behind us. "

Marquis Nelson nodded, but he was still a little uneasy.

The Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Empire should have more than that, right?The Nanyang Fleet has always been the main force of the Ming Navy!How could it be just this few ships?
At this moment, Charlie Elliot limped in.

"Your Majesty the Emperor," Charlie Elliot held a telegram, "this is a telegram from the Batavia Governor's Palace."

Emperor William was taken aback, "Governor of Batavia, the Dutch? What happened to them? Could it be that the Ming Navy is robbing their worthless islands?"

Marquis Nelson also frowned and asked, "Could it be that a Ming navy fleet is crossing the Makassar Strait?"

Charlie Elliot immediately cast admiring glances at the elderly British naval god, "Marquis, the Dutch reported that a large fleet may have passed through the Makassar Strait last night. It has entered the The Java Sea is heading towards the Lombok Strait."

It turned out that the Dutch scout ship discovered Zhuge Weidao's "one voyage battle" going south.

"What? Lombok Strait?" Emperor William immediately turned his attention to the Lombok Strait on the chart. "What do they want to do? To seize Australia?"

Daming's seizure of Australia is now a nightmare in Emperor William's heart!

"How many ships do they have?" asked the Marquis Nelson.

"The number is huge!" Charlie Elliot replied, "The Dutch scout ships did not dare to approach, so they could only count the smoke pillars from a distance... There are at least dozens of them, it should be a large fleet!"

"Marquis, look..."

Emperor William immediately became nervous.

There has been a large fleet of dozens of warships if they cross the Lombok Strait and enter the waters near Australia.Then they must be...

Marquis Nelson just shook his head there, and murmured: "I don't understand, I really don't understand... Why did they do this? Their strength is not too large, why should they divide into two groups?"

"Marquis," Emperor William was a little anxious, "If they approach Australia, with the strength of the Australian fleet, can they be repelled?"

Hearing this question, Marquis Nelson laughed: "My lord, whether this fleet can pose a threat to Australia depends on the outcome of the decisive battle in Malacca.

If we lose in Malacca... of course, it's impossible.Victory must be ours, there is no doubt about it.

If we win the battle of Malacca, the entire Ming Nanyang will be shaken.How can this fleet have the energy to land in Australia? "

"That's true!" Emperor William looked at the chart and said deliberatively, "It seems that the advantage is really on our side... Guan Tianpei of the Great Ming Nanyang Fleet really lost his head, and he was divided into two parts with just such a small force Use it. It seems that his level is no more than that. Marquis, what should we do now?"

"Of course it is to lure the enemy to go deep!" Marquis Nelson had already planned.

"Luring the enemy deep? Where to go? Who will lure the enemy?"

"The 15 shallow-water heavy gunships in the western naval port of Damascus can be used to lure the enemy... maybe they don't need to be lured too far. As long as they enter the middle part of the Strait of Malacca, the fleet led by General Hood will destroy them all .”

"That's great, let's do it!" Emperor William slapped his hands, "Go and send electricity to General Rodney... Please let him go out of the port to lure the enemy, and he must try his best to lure the enemy's battleship formation to the Strait of Malacca near the western exit of ..."

"According to the order."
