1825 My New Daming

Chapter 323 This is a conspiracy, everyone has it! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

Inspired by Daoguang, Zhuge Weidao conspired against Emperor William!

This conspiracy was the Suez Canal that Kaiser William had to defend.

If Emperor William gave up the Suez Canal, then Zhuge Weidao would send the Persian Gulf Fleet into the Red Sea to capture the Suez Canal—although the strength of the Persian Gulf Fleet is not enough to compete with the First and Second Indian Fleets for sea dominance in the Western Indian Ocean, but Under the cover of the first aviation battle, they can still separate part of the fleet to cover thousands of marines to seize the canal.

Once the canal fell into the hands of Ming Dynasty, Emperor William would not be able to insist on "William died and divided", and he, the "Inner Emperor", would become an empty puppet.

And if "Yinshihuang" wants to defend the Suez Canal, then Zhuge Weidao has also achieved his goal.If Emperor William wanted to defend the Suez Canal, he could only mobilize a considerable part of the fleet into the Red Sea.

At that time, the strength of the British and Indian navies in the Indian Ocean will be insufficient. If you still want to block the Persian Gulf fleet and avoid cutting off the communication line between Britain and India in a battle, then Emperor William's Second Indian Fleet will have Very busy.

And once the Second Indian Fleet is pinned down in the Western Indian Ocean, Zhuge Weidao's first voyage battle will be activated.It can immediately maneuver to the East Indian Ocean, cut off the line of communication between the Malay Peninsula and India, and cooperate with Guan Tianpei's main force of the Nanyang Fleet and army to besiege the Malay Peninsula.

Once the Malay Peninsula is captured by Ming, the Straits of Malacca will be completely under Ming's control.At that time, if the Ming Navy wants to go to the Indian Ocean, it will go to the Indian Ocean, and if it wants to go to Australia, it will go to Australia.It's all alive!

……

"Your Majesty, did He Shen and Yi Wei provide any convincing evidence?"

In the meeting room of the Warrior, Emperor William was holding an emergency meeting with Prime Minister Ahmed, Minister of Foreign Affairs Stendon, Minister of the Navy Marquess Nelson, Minister of War Hugh Goff and others who hurried over.

At the meeting, it was Foreign Minister Stendon who expressed doubts about the news that Ming Dynasty might seize the Suez Canal.He is almost a China hand. He has lived in Daming for many years, and he has a good understanding of Daming's internal affairs, diplomacy and behavior style. He does not think that Daming will adopt such a radical policy.

"But it seems possible for them to occupy the Suez Canal!" Lord of the Navy Marquis Nelson shook his head and said, "Their Persian Gulf fleet is composed of many old-fashioned battleships and cruisers. capabilities. But in the narrow waters of the Red Sea, they are still useful.

Moreover, our troops deployed in the Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal are very weak and cannot withstand their Persian Gulf fleet at all. "

"But the troops we deployed in Suez are under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom!" Stangton said, "Once Ming attacks the Suez Canal, the United Kingdom will immediately be at war with the Ming Empire.

And Austria, Prussia, the United States, the Netherlands, Hanover, Bavaria, the Kingdom of Sardinia and other countries that have concluded military alliances with the United Kingdom will also stand on the side of the British Empire and join the war!

At that time, the Ming Empire will face a joint attack from the eight western countries! "

Marquis Nelson shook his head, "The outcome of a naval battle depends on the quantity and quality of cutting-edge battleships and aircraft carriers. It has nothing to do with the number of countries participating in the war... and we don't have an aircraft carrier, nor aircraft that can fight at sea. The number of cutting-edge victory-class battleships is only eight.

So we cannot afford to risk losing the Suez Canal!
Once we lose the Suez Canal, Ming's aircraft carriers and new battleships may enter the Mediterranean Sea.By then..."

He didn't say any more, but Kaiser Wilhelm had already understood.

At that time, France and Luosha will stand on Daming's side!

And he, the emperor of India, is about to become a puppet.

"Marquis, you are right!" Emperor William waved his fist, "We cannot lose the Suez Canal...Marquis, what do you think we should do?"

"We must be the first to send the fleet into the Red Sea!" Marquis Nelson said, "We must send the main force of the First Indian Fleet in... Those old warships of the First Indian Fleet have little use for them in the Indian Ocean. This is their battlefield!"

"Marquis!" Hugh Gough, the Minister of War at the side, quickly reminded, "If we send the First Indian Fleet into the Red Sea, then our naval power in the Indian Ocean will only be left by the Second Indian Fleet.

Although the Second Indian Fleet has 8 Victory-class, 12 Indomitable-class and 2 Blake-class cutting-edge ships.But the number was still too small to provide support for the British and Indian troops in the Malay Peninsula while protecting the Gulf of Aden-Bombay transportation line.

Without the support from the sea, our army in the Malay Peninsula will be hit by the enemy! "

"So what if we are attacked?" Emperor William frowned slightly, "General Goff, you didn't guarantee before that our defense in the Malay Peninsula is very strong, comparable to the Turks' Adrianople defense line, to repel the enemy's attack." Attack?"

Hugh Gough already understood what Emperor William meant.

The Emperor cannot afford to lose the Suez Canal...but he can lose the Straits of Malacca!

"Your Majesty," Hugh Goff still had to tell the emperor truthfully, "we don't have too many troops in the Malay Peninsula...it is a very large peninsula, and we only have 15 troops. So it is impossible to fight with the Turkish Asians." Like the Fort Delia defense line, it has a tight and multi-layered defense. It can only adopt key defenses, such as the traffic arteries on the northern line. On the southern line, the Malacca Fortress and Temasek Fortress are heavily deployed.

And because the Strait of Malacca behind these two fortresses has been controlled by the Ming Navy, there is a risk that the line will be attacked by the enemy. "

"How many months at most?" Kaiser William asked.

"It can be kept for 6-12 months." Hugh Goff gritted his teeth and gave a time interval.

"Six to 6 months is enough!" Kaiser William said calmly, "It's enough for us to bring the entire western world into the battlefield!"

"Your Majesty, do you mean the entire Western world?"

"But how are we going to do it?"

Both Chief Minister Ahmer Sid and Foreign Minister Stendon appear to be lacking in confidence.

However, Emperor William was confident.He sneered and said: "When the Strait of Malacca is in danger, they can ignore it. When India is attacked, they can pretend that nothing happened.

But when the yellow peril starts to loom over the Suez Canal... who else can think they can stay out of it?

When the time comes, the entire United Kingdom, the entire Europe, and the entire Western world will stand with me! "

Although Emperor William mentioned the whole of Europe and the whole of the Western world, the only thing he was really sure that he could bring in was the United Kingdom!
The UK homeland has been avoiding general mobilization for war these days because mobilizing while much of Europe is still at peace and going to war would hurt the very bottom of the UK.

However, seeing that his rule in India might be overthrown by the Ming Empire, Emperor William didn't care about protecting the United Kingdom anymore.

He now needs the British Empire to show its greatest strength and invest in this war that has no chance of winning.

Thinking of this, he said to Amherst: "My prime minister, I need you to go back to Europe... You must do your best to let Europeans understand that the yellow peril is coming, and it will come soon.

They're attacking India, they're attacking the Suez Canal.This is no longer a distant threat, but a threat that is about to enter the Mediterranean Sea.

If we can't hold India, we can't hold the Suez Canal.The whole of Europe will be reduced to the land under the iron heel of the Ming Empire!
Therefore, no one in Europe can stay out of it! "
