Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1045

[Chapter 1045 West Arrival]

“Wesley, my old friend.”

Amidst the shouts of hatred from the soldiers, a group of senior officers slowly stepped down from the battleship.

The officer walking in the front opened his arms when he saw Wesley, and gave Wesley a bear hug.

“Harriman!” Wesley also hugged the officer heavily.

Seeing the person coming, Bolt clapped his hands and said with a smile, “The generals of the two major British armies have gathered in Tianzhu. This time we will surely win the battle.”

Harriman let go of Wesley and shook hands with Bolt at this moment, “This There is no doubt, then, hello Governor Bolt. Greeted

each other, Harriman led the officers and Wesley stood on one side, to make way for the officers of other countries.

Watching from the battleship He asked, “Wesley, where are the other British officers? How come there are only so few people?”

Wesley and Bolt looked at each other, and told Harriman about the defeat in Malacca.

“So, we just suffered a big defeat? Harriman showed a shocked expression.

Only more than 20,000 of the 100,000 Western soldiers who guarded Malacca escaped back.

This level of loss is definitely a disastrous defeat in the previous wars of Western Turk.

“Indeed, I have sent the news back Britain, awaits the punishment of Parliament and Her Majesty. Wesley’s expression was gloomy.

Harriman’s face was gloomy.

This time, the second Western Conference was convened urgently, which made the entire Western Conference focus on the East.

They also had a clear understanding of the threat from the East.

Therefore, this time All countries formed a more powerful reinforcement army together, including 520 warships and 250,000 troops.

However, their supply points could not bear such a huge supply at once.

In fact, the reinforcements will arrive in three batches this time, and they will all be gathered in Tianzhu in the end.

Originally, such a huge expeditionary force gave him the confidence to win.

He thought that he would command the first batch of warships and soldiers to arrive, and then gather Wesley’s troops to completely defeat Da Song and make them surrender at the feet of Britain.

But he didn’t expect the situation to be more serious than he thought.

Now, just to be on the safe side, he decided to wait for all the reinforcements to arrive.

“It’s not all your fault. It’s because we underestimated the enemy by mistake. Fortunately, we have corrected our mistakes and started to face up to this opponent.” Harriman patted his self-interested shoulder.

In fact, the relationship between the two is not very good.

Because both are competing for the field marshal position.

But when faced with a common enemy, this barrier disappears, and the two become reliable companions again.

“I hope so.” Wesley sighed, suddenly he remembered something, and asked, “How about the imitation of the Dasong musket we sent back? Rifled guns are too clumsy in front of this kind of musket, let alone Dasong is even more terrifying If you still use rifled guns to fight, the outcome of the war will not change.”

“The whole of Britain is now busy with this matter, and a lot of power has been invested in the research and manufacture of muskets and artillery.” Harriman said, “Fortunately, , Before I set off, the arsenal already had good news, 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 the 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 the range, but the flexibility. Thank God, we are saved, so are there any technicians coming? Let Tianzhu’s arsenal start manufacturing immediately.”

Harriman Shaking 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 impossible to manufacture this musket. We pray that the British arsenal can make this musket as soon as possible.” Made it.”

“It’s so disappointing.” Before Wesley could speak, Bolt called out, “I hope the Dasong army didn’t occupy Tianzhu by then.”

Wesley sighed, but he knew that everything needs a process.

Although he and Bolt were in a hurry, they could only wait.

But it is also 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 urgent production, and we have also shared our shipbuilding technology with countries with shipbuilding capabilities in the Western Regions to expand the scale of our steamships. We are also preparing to re-use the grenades for the soldiers of Dasong. Grenadiers to deal with it.” Harriman added another sentence in order to make Wesley happy.

Wesley felt a little better.

Before Dasong, the Western Turks had never been so united.

Now, he believes that the Western Earth, which is fully preparing for war, will burst out with a force that will make the king of Yan tremble.

“Britain has really suffered a big loss this time. The manufacturing technology of steamships is a priceless treasure.” Bolt felt a pain in his heart.

“Indeed, this is not counting the huge cost of the expedition. If we can’t win the Great Song this time, it will be difficult for us to organize a third expedition. So Wesley cheered up and let us attack the Great Song together.” Harriman patted Wesley on the shoulder again.

Wesley nodded heavily, “It doesn’t matter, as long as we win, let Da Song pay us a huge amount of war indemnity to make up for all our losses.” After

a pause, he continued, “But for the final victory, this This time we must be cautious, fully prepared before launching a war, and then try our best to defend first, and it is best to wait until the arrival of the new musket.” The

three talked for a while, and led the military officers from various countries to the Governor’s Mansion.

Like last time, Bolt prepared a grand dinner for the officers of Harriman and his party.

When they were half-drunk, all three of them turned red, and 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.”

This one Over the past month, the Dasong Zen Ceremony has been buzzing in the Dasong Biography. Ashur first found out this information, and then sent someone to Calcutta.

This is naturally bad news for them.

King Yan ascended the throne, and he will be the emperor of Dasong from now on.

In de jure, he will officially become the supreme ruler of Daesong.

They couldn’t imagine what the Great Song Emperor would do after he ascended the throne?

“Then you should give him a generous gift. You should know what kind of gift it is, right?” Harriman looked at Wesley with a drunken smile.

When they fought hand in hand before, they also prepared “gifts” for their enemies.”

Wesley sneered, and he said, “Of course, of course I understand, so I have already prepared gifts for this King Yan. He will receive it on the same day.”
