Chapter 1050: Dialogue

"..."

Bolt's face was gloomy, and he said nothing more; Wesley's explanation confirmed the intelligence they had gathered.

However, the loss of Malacca, which allowed the Great Song army to run rampant in the seas of Tianzhu, and the loss of Piaoman, which allowed the Great Song army to peer into Tianzhu from its eastern side—all of this made him incredibly furious.

Even though Wesley was now the Commander of the Allied Forces, he could not suppress his own anger.

So he said, "When we return to Britain, Her Majesty the Queen will make her own judgment regarding your crimes."

"That's great; at least I'll still be alive to return to Britain," Wesley retorted tit-for-tat.

The failure at Malacca had frustrated him to the extreme, and he didn't care about anything anymore.

Of course, that is not to say he didn't care about anything at all.

Deep in his heart, the Flame of revenge still burned, with the hope of washing away the humiliating defeat he had suffered at Malacca.

As the two were arguing, a flash of fire suddenly lit up the sea surface.

Immediately after, a sound like rolling thunder came from afar.

"Hide!" Wesley roared at Bolt, grabbed his arm, and dove behind a bunker.

Just then, a rain of Cannonballs covered the entire port.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The Cannonballs exploded in succession.

The British Merchant Ships in the port were hit, instantly blown to pieces, and turned into fireballs burning on the sea.

Wooden crates stacked together were also struck.

These crates were filled with various goods; the Cannonballs sent them flying, and the porcelain, tea, and spices inside were swept up and fell back to the ground.

Warehouses were also blown up, with Flames raging and igniting nearby buildings as well.

The soldiers near the port were particularly miserable; they died under the bombardment before they could even react.

However, most of these dead soldiers were those garrisoning Calcutta.

Those soldiers who had returned from Malacca, having experienced the bombardment of Great Song Warships, reacted very quickly and immediately hid, suffering few casualties.

In just one round of bombardment, the port of Calcutta turned into a sea of fire, like a living hell.

Bolt was completely terrified; he had never experienced such a horrific bombardment, and his legs went weak with fear; he struggled a few times but could not stand up.

"Is, is this the Great Song Warship?" Looking toward the Great Song Warships still far from the port, Bolt almost cried as he spoke.

"That's right," Wesley said coldly, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

In his view, this Bolt was completely talking without feeling the pain.

Now, he had finally been taught a lesson by the Great Song people.

However, despite his dissatisfaction with Bolt, he still took advantage of the gap while the Great Song Naval Cannons were reloading to drag Bolt and flee outside the port.

After all, the most important thing right now was to deal with the Great Song people; other personal grudges could be set aside for the moment.

"Boom, boom, boom..." As he dragged Bolt more than thirty meters away, the second round of bombardment arrived.

Wesley hid with Bolt again.

By hiding and moving like this, he finally dragged Bolt to a safe distance.

"Don't worry about the port anymore; it can't be saved, just let the Great Song people blow it up." Panting slightly, Wesley said to Bolt, "They are just venting their anger, but they won't land for now. I must go to the East border immediately to prevent the Great Song people from attacking from the direction of Piaoman."

Having said that, Wesley ignored Bolt and turned to leave.

"Wait." Bolt suddenly called out to Wesley; he was much calmer now.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "During your time in Malacca, some changes occurred in the situation."

Wesley stopped in his tracks, "What changes?"

Bolt then told him about the Tusman Empire, as well as the matters concerning Northern Di and Ross.

The Tusman Empire joining this chaotic situation in Dongtu was naturally orchestrated by them, Britain.

Because for a long time, Britain had maintained good relations with the Tusman Empire.

The two countries had even stood together to deal with Ross, preventing Ross from expanding its sphere of influence into Zhongtu.

After all, this matter was beneficial to both countries.

The Tusman Empire gained hegemony over Zhongtu,

and they, Britain, protected Tianzhu, avoiding influence from Ross.

And in order to support the Tusman Empire, over these years, they in Britain had not only maintained close trade relations with the Tusman Empire but also exported a lot of technology to it to enhance the strength of the Tusman Empire.

This was also the reason why the Tusman Emperor could fight back and forth with Ross in Zhongtu.

It was just that now, a more dangerous enemy than Ross had appeared.

Therefore, their Queen and Parliament decided to let the Tusman Empire and Ross set aside their conflicts to focus on dealing with Great Song.

Utilizing the Tusman Empire's ambition for the Tianshan region.

Britain and Ross facilitated the matter of Northern Di ceding the Tianshan region to Tusman.

And in return, the Tusman Empire naturally chose to stand on their side.

After all, if the power of Great Song expanded westward, it would inevitably conflict with the Tusman Empire.

And what they had swallowed, they would not easily spit out.

These things all happened within a short three months, which was three months after his intelligence reached Britain.

The reason it was so rapid was that they decided to change the traditional method of communication, which was passing intelligence by sea.

After all, the voyage from Tianzhu to Britain took four months even for a Steamship.

But from Britain through Xitu Dalu, and then from the Tusman Empire all the way to Tianzhu, it was only about six thousand kilometers.

In just two months, news from Britain could be transmitted to Tianzhu.

This was why Britain achieved a diplomatic victory in just over three months, bringing them a powerful ally in Zhongtu while creating a formidable enemy for Great Song.

"What a perfect strategy." Wesley's gloomy mood suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on his face.

This move is equivalent to connecting the Western Lands and Zhongtu.

If possible, their armies could even enter Zhongtu from the Western Lands and then reach Tianzhu.

It is not as if they, Britain, have never conducted such long-distance land marches.

Back then, their armies traveled by Warship from the Mediterranean to Tusman, then went from the south of Tusman to the north to fight the Ross people.

"Hahaha, this is the unparalleled leadership of our Britain. We have managed the world for over three hundred years; how could a mere Da Song with nothing but brute force compare? Once their brute force is exhausted, Da Song will collapse before us," Wesley said, his spirits soaring.

For these past few hundred years, the main focus of their Western Lands' management has been the New Continent and the Dark Continent.

Because Zhongtu shares cultural origins with them, the two have had both conflicts and cooperation.

And these are their traditional spheres of influence in the Western Lands; to them, the Dongtu region is merely an undeveloped, barbaric land.

Therefore, even if they lost the region east of Malacca, they only felt regret, but it had not yet reached the point of causing them fundamental damage.

As for the Malacca Strait, that was even more regrettable.

To him, that was the first line of defense to prevent Da Song's influence from entering their traditional spheres of influence.

And Tianzhu is the second line of defense.

Therefore, after losing Malacca, he secretly swore that he must never lose this second line of defense again.

This pearl on the crown of the Queen of Britain must not be tarnished.
