Chapter 1061 Westward Arrival
[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]
"Wesley, my old friend."
Amid the roars of hatred from the soldiers, a group of senior officers slowly walked down from the battleship.
The officer walking at the front opened his arms when he saw Wesley and gave Wesley a bear hug.
"Harriman!" Wesley also hugged the officer heavily.
When Bolt saw the person coming, he clapped his hands and smiled and said, "The two British army generals have gathered in Tianzhu. This time we will fight and win the battle."
Harriman then let go of Wesley and shook Bolt's hand, "There is no doubt about it, then, hello Governor Bolt.
After greeting each other, Harriman led the officers and Wesley to stand aside to make way for officers from other countries.
Looking at the officers and soldiers coming off the battleship, he asked, "Wesley, where are the other British officers? Why are there only so few of them?"
Wesley and Bolt looked at each other and told Harriman about Malacca's defeat.
"So, we just suffered a big defeat?" Harriman looked shocked.
Of the 100,000 Western soldiers guarding Malacca, only more than 20,000 escaped.
A loss of this level was definitely a disastrous defeat in all the previous wars between Western and Turkmenistan.
"Indeed, I have sent the news back to Britain to await punishment from Parliament and Her Majesty the Queen." Wesley looked gloomy.
Harriman scowled.
This urgent convening of the second Western-Turkish Conference made all Western-Turkish countries turn their attention to Eastern Tutu.
We also have a clear understanding of the threat from the East.
Therefore, this time all countries formed a more powerful reinforcement force, including 520 warships and 250,000 land troops.
However, their supply points cannot bear such a huge supply.
In fact, the reinforcements will arrive in three batches this time, and eventually they will all be gathered in Tianzhu.
Originally, such a large expeditionary force gave him the confidence to win.
He believed that by commanding the first batch of arriving warships and soldiers, and then gathering Wesley's forces, he could completely defeat Dasong and make them surrender to Britain.
But he didn't expect the situation to be more serious than he thought.
Now, to be on the safe side, he decided to wait for all the reinforcements to arrive.
"This is not entirely your fault. It was our mistake to underestimate the enemy. Fortunately, we have corrected our mistakes and started to face this opponent squarely." Harriman patted the self-interested shoulder.
In fact, the relationship between the two is not very good.
Because both are competing for the position of field marshal.
But when facing a common enemy, this barrier disappeared, and the two became reliable companions again.
"I hope so." Wesley sighed, and suddenly he remembered something and asked, "How is the imitation of the Dasong musket we sent back? The rifled gun is too clumsy in the face of this kind of musket, not to mention the Dasong is more terrifying. If you still use rifled muskets, the outcome of the war will not change."
"The whole of Britain is busy with this matter now, and a lot of effort has been invested in the research and manufacture of muskets and artillery." Harriman said, "Fortunately, there was good news in the arsenal before I set off, but unfortunately, It is said that the air tightness problem is difficult to solve. The range of this musket is not as good as that of a front-loading rifle, and the effective range seems to be only about 300 meters."
"That's enough!" Wesley was overjoyed. "The precious thing about this musket is not its range, but its flexibility. Thank God, we are saved. Are there any technicians here? Let Tianzhu's arsenal start manufacturing it immediately."
Harriman shook his head, "The structure of this musket is obviously more complicated than that of a rifled gun. This is not a simple matter of changing the shape of the bullet. With Tianzhu's steam industry foundation, it is simply impossible to manufacture this musket. We pray that the British arsenal can put this musket into production soon." A musket was manufactured.”
"It's so disappointing." Before Wesley could speak, Bolt shouted, "I hope the Dasong army did not occupy Tianzhu at that time."
Wesley sighed, but he knew that everything needs a process.
Although he and Bolt were anxious, they could only wait.
But this is good news after all.
If the British army can install this flexible musket, the future war with Dasong will not be as embarrassing as Malacca.
"However, our steamships are already in emergency production, and we have also shared our shipbuilding technology with Western countries with shipbuilding capabilities to expand the scale of our steamships. We are also preparing to re-use grenades for Da Song soldiers. Grenadier to deal with it," Harriman added to cheer up Wesley.
Wesley felt a little more comfortable.
Before Dasong, the Western and Eastern countries had never been so united.
Now, he believed that the world of Xitu, which was fully preparing for war, would burst out with power that would make the King of Yan tremble.
"We in Britain have really suffered a big loss this time. The manufacturing technology of steamships is priceless." Bolt felt a pain in his heart.
"Indeed, this does not include the huge cost of the expedition. If we cannot win Dasong this time, it will be difficult for us to organize a third expedition, so Wesley cheers up and lets us attack Dasong together." Harriman patted Wesley on the shoulder again.
Wesley nodded heavily, "It doesn't matter. As long as we win, Dasong will pay us huge war indemnities to make up for all our losses."
After a pause, he continued, "But for the final victory, we must be cautious this time and be well prepared before launching the war. Next, we should try to defend first, and it is best to wait for the arrival of new muskets." The three talked for a while and led the officers of various countries to the Governor's Mansion. Like last time, Bolt prepared a grand dinner to entertain Harriman and his officers. Half drunk, the three of them all had red faces. Bolt said at this time, "Harriman, do you know? That damn King Yan of Dasong is about to ascend the throne and become the emperor of Dasong." In the past month, the news of the abdication ceremony of Dasong has been spreading in Dasong. Ashur first found out about this information and then sent someone to Kolkata. This is naturally bad news for them. When King Yan ascends the throne, he will be the emperor of Dasong in the future. Legally, he will officially become the supreme ruler of Dasong. They can't imagine what this emperor of Dasong will do after ascending the throne? "Then we should really give him a generous gift. You should understand what kind of generous gift it is, right?" Harriman looked at Wesley and smiled drunkenly.
When they fought together before, they also prepared "gifts" for their enemies.
Wesley sneered and said, "Of course, I understand, so I have prepared a gift for the King of Yan. He will receive it on the day of their coronation ceremony."
