2200 Wonders in the History of War

This is especially true for Royce, the captain of the Margaret. The wheelhouse of the Margaret is located on the top deck, the furthest away from the lifeboats and life rafts, so Captain Royce followed him before he could get out of the wheelhouse. The Marguerite sank into the sea together and never came up again.

There were only more than 100 people who escaped by chance, and the remaining more than 800 wealthy British businessmen sank into the sea together with the property they looted.

Seeing the sinking of the Margarita, Xie Tao immediately sent a message to Lin Yuan, who then ordered his subordinates to send a telegram to the governor of Mumbai, Tanzambique, telling them that if they did not obey their orders, this would be the end.

When the Governor of Tanzambique received the news that the Margaret had been sunk, he didn’t believe it at first, but soon a wealthy British businessman escaped and sent a message to the Governor’s Office at the port. The Governor of Tanzambique said this Believe it.

The Governor of Tanzambique was heartbroken, and the Margarita contained the treasures he had worked so hard to find in India, especially a set of twelve pure gold sculptures of Indian gods, which were priceless. Ten years ago, China had When there was no rise, a wealthy businessman was willing to pay 300 million pounds to buy this group of sculptures.

The governor of Tanzambique rested his forehead with his hands, and tears were about to fall. At this moment, a servant said in a low voice: "My lord governor, let's find a way to escape."

The Governor of Tanzambique raised his head and asked, "Where can we escape? Are we going to Delhi too?"

The attendant said: "No need to be like this. Mumbai has advantages over Calcutta and Madras. On the west side of Mumbai are Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. Iran is controlled by us British, and there is also British territory on the Arabian Peninsula. We can First go to Iran or the Arabian Peninsula, then return to the UK via there, and then escape to the United States on the other side of the ocean."

The Governor of Tanzambique frowned and said: "This method is not bad. It is better than fleeing to Delhi. The place where the Indians live is too dirty and messy. I really don't want to stay longer, but now China People won’t let our boat leave Mumbai, if we force our way out of the port, won’t they sink us?”

The attendant laughed and said: "The port of Mumbai is so big, how can a Chinese submarine block it? We still have a good chance. I heard that the British HSBC fleet is planning to transport a batch of gold back to the UK. There are a dozen large ships with a displacement of about [-] tons, and they are about to go to sea, let's see if they can escape, and if one of them can escape, we can also find a way to escape."

The governor of Tanzambique rolled his eyes and said, "Your analysis makes sense. Well, let's do this and see if the HSBC gold transport ship can escape."

The attendant nodded, and the governor of Tanzambique suddenly smiled and said, "I really don't understand why our British Empire is still holding on to gold, and what kind of gold standard is still being implemented. Look at China, as early as a few years ago The credit standard system was implemented before.”

The attendant smiled and didn't say much, but at this moment, the phone on the table rang suddenly, and the sound of "Ring, Ring, Ring" scared the governor of Tanzambique and the attendants all trembling, Tanzambique The governor sighed softly, and said, "Oh, I don't know what's on the phone?"

The attendant just wanted to say, "It's definitely not good news", but he swallowed the words again. The attendant picked up the microphone, only to hear an anxious voice from inside: "My lord, it's not good, port The power plant at the pier was blown up."

Hearing this, the governor of Tanzambique leaned over, took the microphone from the attendant's hand, put it in his ear and asked, "What did you say?"

The voice on the phone said tremblingly: "The power plant at the port wharf has been bombed!"

The governor of Tanzambique hurriedly asked: "Who did it? Is it a Chinese agent or an Indian mob?"

"I don't know, it doesn't seem to be. According to people near the power plant, they saw a flying black spot coming from the sea, and then hit the substation of the power plant directly. The transformer was completely destroyed, and now the pier is completely out of power. gone."

The governor of Tanzambique was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. At this time, the voice on the phone said again: "My lord governor, please send the police force to the pier immediately to maintain order."

The Governor of Tanzambique asked in surprise, "What happened at the pier?"

"HSBC was transporting gold to the ship, but the electricity suddenly cut off, and the crane couldn't catch the container. The container fell to the ground, and all the gold inside scattered out. Indian mobs started looting when they saw it."

The Governor of Tanzambique and the major shareholder of HSBC Bank are good friends and an alliance of interests. Seeing that the ally is in trouble, how can we not help?He immediately ordered the police in the city to go to the pier to drive away the Indian mob. The Governor of Tanzambique just put down the phone when he heard a loud "bang" from not far away. The Governor of Tanzambique exclaimed in surprise: "Why? What happened? Where did the explosion happen?"

The attendant hurriedly ran out to inquire, and came back shortly afterwards and said, "My lord governor, it's not good, there was an explosion in the city hall!"

The governor of Tanzambique frowned and asked, "Why did the city government explode?"

The attendant replied: "I don't know, I'm afraid it was done by the Chinese!"

The governor of Tanzambique looked solemn and said nothing, and the attendants did not dare to speak. After more than two minutes of silence, the governor of Tanzambique finally let out a long sigh and said: "When the Chinese attacked Burma, they used a The thing called 'ballistic missile', that kind of thing can drop from the sky and hit the target, it is extremely powerful, and they should also use this kind of thing now."

The attendant asked cautiously, "Then what shall we do?"

The Governor of Tanzambique sighed and said: "There is no other way but to retreat. The Chinese have already started bombing the port. If we go to the port again, we will go under their bombs. There is no other way. Let's go to Delhi. "

The attendant nodded silently, and began preparations for Delhi. The news spread in Mumbai that the governor of Tanzambique was going to Delhi, and the whole Mumbai was a sensation. Get a good heist while the British police and army are gone.

However, the wishful thinking of the Indians came to nothing. Although the governor of Tanzambique withdrew, the nearby Indian kings sent soldiers to control the situation in Mumbai. Those wealthy British businessmen who could not escape finally let go. Take a breath.

What the British could not have imagined in their dreams was that the weapons bombarding them were not ballistic missiles at all, but nuclear submarines floating in the sea. A nuclear submarine to calm down a city is a spectacle in the history of war!
