Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1087
[Chapter 1077 Instigation]
On the coast of Calcutta, the officers from all countries all looked heavy.
When Cobansi led the fleet to sneak attack the Imperial fleet, they had been watching the battle on the coast. As the war progressed, their moods fluctuated, but at the final moment, they still faced a complete defeat.
At this moment, the burning sail battleship on the sea is proof of their failure.
“It’s over, it’s all over. We have lost ninety-six battleships, and the fleet has been damaged by more than half. Now the imperial fleet has the final say on the ocean.” Nicholas said painfully.
Buterin’s gloomy face flickered with the swaying firelight on the sea. Although Corbansi chose to retreat, the imperial fleet pursued them, and they were sunk again while they were hiding in the Ganges. Sixteen battleships.
Only then did they destroy a total of ninety-six warships. Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, his heart seemed to be bleeding.
Looking at the soldiers still struggling and calling for help in the sea, his body was trembling slightly, and endless hatred surged in his heart.
Behind him were the soldiers responsible for defending the coast. They also witnessed the whole process. Like Buterin, they felt fear in their hearts and at the same time they were full of hatred for the Chinese Empire.
For them, the Chinese Empire was portrayed in state propaganda as a demon that was robbing them of their colonies.
They have traveled thousands of miles to come here to uphold fairness and justice.
“Soldiers, have you seen the cruelty of the Chinese Empire? They took away Australia and shamelessly humiliated our people of the British Empire as slaves. Now they are preparing to rob India that belongs to us. If they are allowed to continue to advance, sooner or later there will be One day their tentacles will extend to Europe. They are devils, followers of Satan, and pagans. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, they will land in Calcutta. Brothers, kill them all together. God will definitely help us. They are sent to hell!”
Buterin shouted.
“Kill them all! Kill them all!” the British soldiers shouted, their hatred suddenly rising under Buterin’s encouragement.
The other imperial commanders looked at Buterin, and they also shouted, and the entire coast was filled with hatred for the empire.
On the deck of the Sovereign, the medical officer was bandaging Yue Yun’s wounds. When the Sovereign was set on fire, his left arm was scratched by shrapnel. He did not say anything at the time, but continued to direct the battle.
It wasn’t until the battle situation stabilized that Liu Chen discovered that Yue Yun’s arm was injured.
“General, there seem to be many enemy soldiers on the coast. They seem to be shouting something!” In the darkness, Liu Chen could only vaguely see some figures on the coast through the firelight, but it was very blurry.
The medical officer was using alcohol to disinfect Yue Yun’s wounds. He endured the pain and said, “Don’t worry about them for now, the thunder will kill them!”
Liu Chen originally wanted the warship to launch a round of shelling to shock them, but after hearing this, he ordered Nodding, he then said: “What to do with the European soldiers in the sea?”
“Shoot them all!” Yue Yun gave the order coldly.
It is not that he is cruel by nature, but his war experience has taught him that he cannot be merciful to his enemies. Now that Europe and the Chinese Empire are officially at war, these European soldiers will inevitably be indoctrinated by their countries into hating the Chinese Empire. After all, national consciousness has long been awakened in Europe.
And now it has even risen to the paranoid racism of white supremacy. They believe that only Europeans can be considered real “human beings” and that people from other countries are like animals and cannot be equal to them.
It is said that there is a zoo in Calcutta, India. This zoo houses indigenous people from different regions, including people living outside the Chinese Empire.
They treated these people like animals to earn money by exhibiting them to the British who came to Calcutta.
When he got this information from the secret guards, he was silent for a long time. This incident made him fully understand the current essential contradiction between the Chinese Empire and Europe. This is the contradiction between race and culture. As long as Europeans embrace As long as white supremacy does not let go, the war will not stop.
“Understood, general!”
Liu Chen responded. He was just asking out of routine. He was too lazy to save the soldiers in the sea. He didn’t want his soldiers to take risks. These Europeans who were rescued might be gone in a blink of an eye. He would take out a dagger and stab his soldier.
After receiving the order, he immediately ordered his soldiers to shoot the enemy soldiers in the sea. Even now, the gunfire in the sea has not stopped. Although the main force of the fleet has retreated, there are still many small boats in the sea.
These boats were still trying to attack them, and this made Liu Chen more determined.
“Click, click, click…”
The sound of the machine gun sounded again, and the armored ship shuttled through the messy battlefield and eliminated the following small boats one by one.
At the same time, the medical soldiers continued to carry the injured imperial soldiers to the cabin for treatment. Europe suffered heavy losses this time, and their losses were also heavy. Only more than 200 soldiers were killed or injured on the King’s ironclad.
The remaining clearing mission lasted until dawn. When a red sun rose in the east, the soldiers on the armored ship truly saw the full picture of the battlefield last night.
Enemy corpses were floating everywhere on the battlefield that stretched for more than ten miles. The seawater was mixed with the color of blood, and the broken wooden boards undulated with the waves.
The mouth of the Ganges River has been blocked by sunken warships. The imperial fleet cannot enter and the European fleet cannot get out.
Yue Yun and Liu Chen took a nap last night and walked onto the deck after dawn.
According to the order, the Qingzhou Fleet has officially cruised, and some warships rushed to Indonesia and Singapore overnight to transport soldiers of the Southeast Army.
“Now the European coalition forces have really been made dumplings by us. The only thing left is to put the dumplings in the pot and wait to eat.” Liu Chen licked his lips excitedly.
Yue Yun was not optimistic about the situation on land. He pointed to the long battle front and said: “The battle between trapped beasts is the most dangerous. The Europeans’ weapons are lagging behind, but their will to fight is very strong. We also sacrificed a lot last night.” Small casualties.”
Liu Chen nodded. The battle report statistics have come out. More than 3,000 of their soldiers were killed or injured, but the losses of the European coalition forces were even greater. It is roughly estimated that 30,000 people died at sea.
“I’m afraid we won’t be able to take Calcutta years ago.”
Liu Chen felt a little regretful. According to the enemy’s current will to resist, the battle below must be very difficult.
“In this case, I think there is no need to attack by force. As long as we block the route and trap them here, sooner or later they will collapse. After all, we have no urgent need for India.” Yue Yun analyzed.
Liu Chen also had the same idea. Although India could be captured by storm, according to their exchange ratio in Jakarta, they would have to sacrifice the lives of at least 30,000 soldiers. This was unnecessary.
“I will send a battle report analysis to the General Staff.” Liu Chen said while looking at the trenches on the coast.
