Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1081

[Chapter 1081 Undercurrent]

Tianzhu, Calcutta.

When Chang Wei led the army to conquer the Tianshan Mountains.

The West-Turkish coalition navy is holding a large-scale exercise off the coast of Calcutta.

The purpose is to allow naval warships of various countries to form a tacit understanding when they can fight at sea.

The reason why this exercise was held was because the second batch of reinforcements from the Western-Turkish Allied Forces arrived half a month ago.

This brought the scale of warships of the Western-Turkish Allied Forces in Tianzhu to 580 warships.

These include seventy-two steamships and four hundred and eight sailing warships.

Including the warships lost in the previous battle with the Dasong Navy, they basically put half of the warships of their respective countries into the eastern battlefield. . .

If they are still unable to win this naval battle, it will mean that they will no longer be able to organize a third expedition.

As for the army, a total of 250,000 people were dispatched this time, and all of them have arrived.

Combined with the remaining army in Tianzhu, they have accumulated 400,000 troops in Tianzhu.

Of course, they also want to send more warships and troops, but this is already the limit of their projected forces, and it has consumed countless material resources and manpower.

If Da Song’s attack on Tianzhu still cannot be thwarted this time, they will no longer be able to organize a third expedition.

“So many warships can only be seen when the Queen inspects the navy.” On the

coast, Harriman, Wesley, and Bolt each held binoculars and watched the battleships practice arrays at sea.

At this time, Harriman couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Wesley and Bolt nodded.

That moment is a moment worthy of the pride of every Briton.

Because that symbolizes Britain’s naval strength that is the best in the West.

The strength of the navy means a country’s control of the sea.

It’s just that they didn’t expect that one day they would suffer such humiliation in the East.

Let them bring down the majesty of Britain.

“There are also 400,000 troops. When we formed the coalition against the Franks in Britain, the largest number was only 700,000.” Bolt lowered his voice so that Goller could not hear it, so as not to make them unhappy.

“Such naval warships and the size of the army are enough to destroy a country in the West. This time we must seize the opportunity to destroy Da Song.” Wesley almost gritted his teeth.

Now he hated Da Song to death, and also hated Emperor Zhao Xu to death.

It was this eastern country and the emperor who led it that made him lose face again and again.

Even his personal ability has been questioned.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the queen to send Harriman to Tianzhu.

If he can’t fight a turnaround this time, his military career will basically come to an end.

“We will definitely win.” Harriman patted Wesley on the shoulder and comforted, “But we can no longer underestimate the Dasong army as before. One thing that needs to be admitted is that the Dasong army is more difficult to deal with than we imagined. , even stronger than us.”

After a pause, he continued, “So, I think in the next war, we must try our best to weaken the advantage of the opponent’s guns and artillery, so that we can win. Simply put, we have to learn Fight like the weak against the strong, use your brains more, and become as cunning as a fox.”

“Are you calling me stupid, Harriman.” Wesley’s expression suddenly became embarrassing, and he shook Harriman’s hand away .

“Hahaha…” Harriman laughed, “I don’t blame you, at least you let us know the true strength of Dasong’s army, which is no small contribution.”

Wesley snorted when he heard the words, “While you can laugh now, you can laugh for a while longer. When you really fight against the Dasong army, you will understand why I failed. Before that, I will be a qualified Adjutant.”

When Harriman arrived, he also brought the Queen’s letter of appointment.

The command of the army fell into the hands of Harriman, who was responsible for assisting Harriman.

“Okay, okay, don’t forget our mission. If we lose this war, none of us will have a good life, so let’s put the quarrel after the victory.” Bolt interjected.

Harriman and Wesley looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Then he looked towards the wilderness to the east of the port.

There, army soldiers from various countries are also conducting joint exercises to hone their tacit understanding with each other.

The content of the exercise is basically in accordance with the offensive method of the Dasong army.

In response to the characteristics of Dasong’s army’s offensive, they have done many response drills.

I hope that at that time, the casualties on the battlefield can be reduced, the attack of the Dasong army can be thwarted, and even a counterattack can be launched in one fell swoop to defeat the Dasong army.

“By the way, how is the situation of the Tusman army?” Harriman remembered something and looked at Bolt.

This time they paid a high price for the Tusmans to participate in the war, and they must not let the Tusman Empire take advantage of it, so they don’t do anything.

Previously, although the Tusman Empire sent troops to the border of Tianzhu and made a gesture of supporting them, in fact it was just an appearance.

They are still unwilling to work hard until they get real benefits.

Right now, handing over the Tianshan area to Tusman is one of the benefits they promised.

There is also a promise that they will provide guns and artillery to the Tusman Empire and provide steam engines to help the Tusman Empire build a military factory to produce rifled guns and artillery.

In the past, they would never agree to this matter.

Because the expanding Tusman Empire is not in their interests in the West.

After all, their western soil also borders Tusman.

But Britain has always pursued an offshore balance policy.

Now that Dasong is rising, they need to support Tusman to make it stronger. At the same time, they deliberately create conflicts between Tusman and Dasong, making them hostile to each other and consuming each other.

If the plan goes well, it will be insignificant for them to support guns and artillery and help them build military factories.

“They have already tasted the sweetness.” Bolt said, “The guns and artillery we support have been sent to them. Although the number is not large, it is enough for them to be excited.”

“In this case, they should fulfill their promise, right? asked Harriman.

“Of course, today I just received a letter from Grand Duke Falam. He finally promised that if we encounter a crisis in Tianzhu, his army will enter Tianzhu to support us at any time.” Bolt said.

Harriman nodded.

In his eyes, the Tusman Empire was still a feudal slave country.

The whole country is ruled by the supreme ruler Anka and his entrusted grand dukes.

Each Grand Duke is responsible for governing an area and has an army under his command.

This Falam is one of the most powerful Grand Dukes under Anka of the current Tusman Empire, with 200,000 troops in his hand.

His army consisted of numerous slave soldiers.

These slave soldiers were trafficked from various places since they were young and received military training. They were ruthless killing machines.

If it weren’t for the guns and artillery of the Western Turks that are much better than the Tusmans, the Tusman Empire is really worth fearing.

Because of this, they were also very cautious when arming the Tusmans.

During the years of their confrontation with the Rus State, they provided only limited support.

If it wasn’t for Da Song, they really wouldn’t have made such a big opening.
