Chapter 136 Brother Daming, when shall we do it? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

With firecrackers going off and drums playing, Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Weixue (they are cousins) finally disembarked from the [-]-ton luxury cruise ship Shunfeng owned by Siam Cruises owned by Zheng Shijia.

Ali Pasha and one of his sons, Ibrahim, looked at each other. They both straightened their clothes and stepped forward with smiles on their faces.Then I saw the Egyptian musicians on the pier playing traditional Chinese music again.Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Weixue walked down the gangway of Shunfeng with big strides.

Although Ali Pasha was illiterate, he was studious and illiterate. In order to better learn from the advanced countries in the East and West, he also learned some Chinese and English.And his successor, Ibrahim, has studied in England and Ming Dynasty, so he can speak Chinese more fluently.I saw the two people striding forward to greet each other, while clasping hands and fists, speaking in fluent or not very fluent Chinese.

"Brother Zhuge, little brother Ali is very polite. Hahaha, brother Zhuge, I want to congratulate you. Your Ming Navy fleet smashed the British and Yi Royal Navy in Japan, sinking and severely damaging their two battleships. That's really satisfying. !Hahaha!"

"My lord, my father and His Majesty the Sultan are very happy to learn that the Ming navy has defeated the British and barbarian Royal Navy in the coastal waters of Japan. My father has already mobilized [-] new troops, and they are ready to block the Suez Canal at any time! My lord, when is the right time for us to do it?"

Hearing the words of the two father and son, Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Weixue also laughed complacently - Shunfeng's docking in Alexandria was planned long ago, and the purpose was of course to collect dogs.But this is not easy. After all, Ali Pasha of Egypt is just a fox who has become an elite, and he is best at maintaining balance before the great powers.Just look at how slippery his methods are when he sends troops to help Turkey beat Greece without even touching the Suez Canal.

But such a person, after confirming that the Ming Navy had severely damaged the British Royal Navy, also declared that he would attack the Suez Canal. Of course, it is one thing to declare, but it is another thing to actually attack.

But to be able to say such things to Zhuge Weijiu in public, you are already standing in line!
It seems that the matter of collecting dogs depends on how big and hard the fist is!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weijiu gave Zhuge Weixue a wink.Zhuge Weixue smiled and said, "Pasha, Commander (Ibrahim is the Commander-in-Chief of the Egyptian Army), this is not the place to talk."

Ibrahim, who is tall, elegant, and wise at first glance, quickly pointed to the white Kabat Castle not far away, and said with a smile: "My lord came from across the ocean. If you are tired from the journey, why don't you stay in Kabat Castle?" Rest in the castle for a few days. My father has already prepared a banquet to wash away the wind and dust, and invited the best belly dancer in all of Egypt, and I hope the prince will welcome you."

While speaking, Ibrahim half turned around, raised his hand and pointed at the two luxury carriages parked not far away.

Ali Pasha also made an austere gesture, and then he and Zhuge Weijiu walked towards the first carriage while chatting and laughing, while Zhuge Weixue followed Ibrahim into the back one. carriage.

Zhuge Weixue and Ibrahim were classmates at Jinling University for a while in the early years. Although they are not in the same department in Jinling University, the number of times they met together would not exceed ten, and the words they said were all kind words Son.But now, like an old friend I haven't seen for many years, they got into the last carriage hand in hand.

As soon as the car door was closed, the two people who were full of polite words just now suddenly looked solemn.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Special Envoy," Ibrahim called Zhuge Weidao formally, "When shall we do it?"

"Do it?" Zhuge Weixue asked with a smile, "With whom?"

"With Britain, of course!" Ibrahim said, "We can temporarily block the Suez Canal for a month. Can you break through the British defense in the Strait of Malacca within a month and drive the fleet into the Red Sea?"

Really ready to fight?

Zhuge Weixue smiled and said: "You are so frank! But with all due respect, we believe that Egypt's military strength is limited, not even enough to capture all the fortresses along the Suez Canal. Although you can temporarily block the canal with artillery and mines , but as long as the British army comes to Alexandria, your father will have to submit to the British Empire. At that time, Britain’s influence in the Middle East will not decrease, but may increase.”

Sure enough, it's still that Ming Dynasty, and it's still that group of Zhuge.
After hearing Zhuge Weixue's words, Ibrahim couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

Zhuge Weixue went on to say: "There is an old saying in China, food needs to be eaten at a bite, and the road needs to be walked step by step. So it is not yet the turn of Egypt to rise up."

"Whose turn is it now?" Ibrahim asked.

"Japan!" Zhuge Weixue said with a smile, "I don't think this is any secret. Before we challenge the hegemony of the Western Catholic powers, we should first complete the unification of Japan within the East Asian family and become a vassal under the control of Ming Dynasty." A subject or an ally, not a nation with independent will and complete sovereignty!"

Although Zhuge Weidao proposed a whole set of methods to control Japan, Zhuge Weijiu still hopes to turn Japan into a country—because "the Kingdom of Heaven" is the sacred value of Ming Dynasty!
"What about us in Egypt?" Ibrahim asked again, "What should we do? Now the Europeans have formed an eight-nation coalition, intending to destroy the Turkish Empire, and the Turkish Empire is simply powerless to resist the attack of the eight European countries!"

"Actually, it's not the Eight Kingdoms," Zhuge Weixue said with a smile, "it's the Allied Forces of the Ten Kingdoms!"

"Ten Kingdoms?" Ibrahim was taken aback, "Who else?"

"And Daming and Dajin!"

"What?" Ibrahim couldn't believe his ears, "Your Excellency, Deputy Special Envoy, what did you say?"

"I said. The Ming Empire and the Great Jin Empire will also join it, so that the Eight-Nation Alliance will become the Ten-Nation Alliance!" Zhuge Wei said, "This is why His Royal Highness King Wu went to Europe in person! But don't worry, although the Eight-Nation Alliance The coalition has become a ten-nation coalition, but having more countries does not mean that the army is strong enough to destroy Turkey, one Rakshasa country is enough, and joining other countries will only add to the chaos!"

"So," Ibrahim asked, "you're here to make trouble?"

"We are here to make trouble for our opponents," Zhuge Weixue said, "while helping our true friends!"

"True friend? Who is Daming's true friend?"

"France's Bourbon dynasty, Raksha's Romanov dynasty, and of course. Ibrahim, you and your father Ali Pasha!" Zhuge Wei said, "You are all true friends of Ming!"

"Oh?" Ibrahim was noncommittal.

Of course he knew that Zhuge Weijiu was the sub-father of Louis XVII, and Zhuge Weidao, the younger brother of Zhuge Weixue, married the Grand Duchess Natalie of Rakshasa, but he and his father Ali Pasha didn't seem to have that deep relationship with Zhuge's family. friendship.

"The Ottoman Turkish Empire is not the Roman Empire, but the Arab Empire. Egypt, Syria, and Iraq have always been the core areas of the Arab Empire!" Zhuge Weixue said in a word, "Now, the demise of the Turkish Empire is unstoppable. The important task of continuing the Arab Empire has fallen on the shoulders of Egypt! Egypt should unite Syria and Iraq, and rebuild an Arab Empire after the collapse of the Turkish Empire!"

10 Downing Street, London, UK.

At the same moment, in the conference room at No. 10 Downing Street, the atmosphere was so gloomy that it was almost suffocating!British Prime Minister Jenkinson, Earl of Liverpool, sat weakly in his seat, staring blankly at the battle report that had just been sent from Osaka to London via cable telegram—this was simply out of line!The British Empire carefully planned the "Japanese Archfire" plan, because a few East India Company shipwrecks were set on fire and set themselves on fire!
What's even more outrageous is that the proud "Sovereign" class battleship of the British Royal Navy was vulnerable to a single blow after it entered the battlefield. The four main guns were easily destroyed by the enemy due to lack of protection, and the 13.5-inch picric acid shells were martyred. The fire caused by the explosion forced the crew to save the battleship by filling the ammunition depot with water. As a result, the Revenge lost its speed after losing its main gun, and finally had to withdraw from the battle!

What is even more unexpected is that the Ming Empire once again seized the opportunity of military reform and created the nemesis of battleships - bombing airships, which destroyed the battleship Indomitable in one fell swoop. Is the Royal Navy okay in the new era? ?
