Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1043

[Chapter 1034 Dangerous Information]

September 3rd.

On the sixth day after receiving the order, a thousand-man team set out from Wales to escort the exploration team of the Minerals Division to New Guinea.

At the same time, Lei Ming led 8,000 people on ten warships to Indonesia, where there was a city occupied by the British named Newland.

This city used to belong to the Dutch. Since it was occupied by the British, the hundred-mile distance centered on Newland has been the British sphere of influence.

His mission here is to control Newland. According to the intelligence provided by the court, the British did not hesitate to go to war with the Dutch to seize Newland.

Because there is a very rich gold mine in the Newland area, and according to the information provided by the Minerals Department, Indonesia is rich in mineral resources, especially coal, tin, aluminum, nickel, copper, gold, silver and other minerals. , As for how the Minerals Department detected it, he didn’t know, and he didn’t dare to ask.

After all, for people of their level, the Mineral Department is as mysterious as the Secret Guard. Everyone who enters the Mineral Department has a clean background, and it is difficult to explore its secrets.

And those who want to spy on the Minerals Department’s intelligence will not end well in the end.

“By taking control of this place, the empire’s steamships sailing in this area will not have to worry about running out of supplies.”

Lei Ming looked at the heavily guarded Newland City. When they landed, they were discovered by the British in the city.

However, the British’s tight security is not worth mentioning in his opinion, because the current British firearms are no longer a generation behind them.

Chang Yuzhu was more interested in gold mines. He said: “Commander, if we win this gold mine, we can get a lot of merit points this time, and I can buy a manor when I return to China.”

The soldiers were also very interested. Excitement, one of the motivations for them to be able to continue fighting overseas comes from loyalty to the empire, and the other comes from the army’s eternal incentive policy.

There was a smile on the corner of Lei Ming’s mouth, and he said: “In that case, let’s fight this battle beautifully, and no one will die if we can.”

Chang Yuzhu nodded, pointed at the machine gun and said: ” With this thing, the British are scared to death. Commander, just wait and see the results.”

After that, Chang Yuzhu walked to the artillery and communicated with the artillery for a while. He then discussed with the machine gunners and ordinary soldiers. Offensive strategy.

After a while, thirty-six cannons roared in unison, and the ferocious artillery fire instantly covered Newland’s city gate.

In just an instant, Newland’s city gate collapsed.

In the city, the British garrison was already in panic. Ever since the defeat of the United Fleet and the occupation of Singapore, they had been living in the haze of war.

Now they’ve won the nightmare.

“What the hell is this?”

The huge power of the explosion of the metal shell made the British soldiers in the city instantly frightened to the extreme. They had never seen such a powerful artillery piece.

Because the entire city gate was almost blown to pieces, and even their most advanced artillery couldn’t do this.

But they were not allowed to think about it. After the city gate was blown up, the cannonball attacks did not stop. Cannonballs whizzed past and hit the city. With each explosion, there would always be a huge crater on the ground.

The area around the crater is a restricted area of life, and no soldier can survive in this area.

There were only 5,000 British troops stationed in Newland. They were bombed indiscriminately and suffered heavy casualties among the British troops in the city.

And this was only the first weapon that frightened them. After the artillery stopped firing, they heard the horn of the enemy’s charge.

At this time, the surviving British soldiers on the wall immediately prepared to fight back, but just when they raised their heads, they suddenly heard “ta da da…” continuous shooting.

They fell in a pool of blood before they could react. The gunners on the city wall were even more miserable. They were the key targets of machine guns.

Every time the soldiers tried to use artillery to counterattack, they were always shot to death by the opponent’s continuous musket fire. It can be said that the entire British army was being beaten and could not raise its head at all.

The sound of charging was getting closer and closer, and the British troops in the city could only abandon the city head and enter the city to prepare for a bloody battle with the enemy.

But they miscalculated again. After the soldiers with rifles entered the city, they were followed closely by soldiers pushing strange firearms.

The soldiers who rushed toward the Empire in dense formation continued to fall under the fire of machine guns. Then with the power of the machine guns, a squad of twelve Imperial soldiers entered the streets and alleys to eliminate the British soldiers.

The sound of grenades exploding could be heard from time to time.

Under such a fierce offensive, the British did not last long. Even the army with strict records could not sustain the one-sided war for too long. An hour later, the British officers in the city led the remaining 1,000 people to surrender to Thunder.

“General, there must be a gold mine here, look.” After Lei Ming entered the city, San Yuzhu walked over excitedly. The soldiers behind him were carrying three boxes.

After glancing at the wooden box, Lei Ming had something to think about. He asked the soldiers to open it, and suddenly a box of yellow-orange gold bricks appeared in front of him.

“According to Governor Newland, they were preparing to transport three boxes of gold bricks to India, and then from India to the United Kingdom.

After a pause, he took out a map and said, “This is also what we found. These British People explored many areas where they found mineral sites. “

Lei Ming took it and looked at it with a rich smile, “This thing is more important than a gold mine. There are thirteen mineral points on it. “

After that, he glanced at Governor Newland who was squatting on the ground, holding his head with both hands, and said: “I will keep this drawing for you. If there are other good things, handing it over now can save you from the pain. A little sin, otherwise you will suffer. “

Governor Newland was frightened by the Empire’s artillery and machine guns. He said: “I still have important information for you, but the premise is that you must let our family go first.”

Lei Ming frowned, “You don’t There is room for bargaining. If I am not a trustworthy person, even if I let your family go, I can still arrest them again. “

“Okay.” Governor Newland was disheartened. At this time, he would take a share. Letters from England were delivered to Thunder.

Taking out the stationery from the letter, the translator said; “Commander, the letter says that the political situation in the Netherlands has changed due to pressure from France. The former prime minister has been ousted. Now there is a new prime minister in the Netherlands. Now the Dutch are asking the British Compromised with France, they are ready to fight the empire together in Asia.”

Lei Ming frowned and said; “This news is too important. Send the news back to Qingzhou immediately, and at the same time, let the warships and troops sailing in the South Seas be wary of the Dutch. “

PS: Hey, the plan can’t keep up with the changes. Let’s do three chapters tomorrow.
