Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1095

[Chapter 1085 Gambis]

“It’s incredible. I have never seen such a luxurious ship. How many swords and spears can be made from the iron of this ship?”

Boheme stroked the cannon on the ironclad ship, with unconcealable greed in his eyes. The desire for wealth finally made Boheme willing to take the risk and board the ironclad.

Tang Wenjie and everyone else smiled and said nothing. If it were more than ten years ago, they would have had the same expression. At that time, steel was extremely precious. No emperor would waste so much steel to build a steel battleship wrapped in iron armor.

But now the empire’s booming industrial capacity has made the luxury resource of steel very cheap, and every citizen of the empire can afford a large number of iron tools.

“A total of six warships came to our visit to your country this time, and we have several times more warships in Nanyang.” Tang Wenjie explained.

Boheme was secretly surprised when he heard this. For him, these six warships could not be built even if Persia used all the steel in the country, and there were many such warships in the Eastern Empire.

Putting away the greed in his eyes, Boheme stroked the metallic luster of the cannon on the battleship, “The appearance of this cannon seems to be very different from ours. I wonder how powerful it is?”

His words were out of curiosity, and he also said. This test is intended to measure the power of these six warships.

Bosimi’s words were in line with Tang Wenjie’s plan. He said: “If you are interested, we can show it to you, but there is no target for shelling, so I’m afraid we can’t let you see it clearly.”

There was an inexplicable smile on Fang Fang Heng’s lips .

Yes, they had long seen that this Boheme was not pure-minded, but he did not dare to be presumptuous until they had figured out their strength.

“This is a short answer!” Bohemian was Abbas’s provincial governor and held military and political power. He gave a few instructions. A soldier got off the boat and walked to the dock. After a while, a large merchant ship parked in the port. Heading out of the harbor.

“Is this target enough?” Boheme said proudly, as if to show his authority.

“That’s enough!” Tang Wenjie was very satisfied, and at the same time he ordered the captain of the Zhenwei to prepare.

When the large Persian merchant ship arrived at the predetermined location, Tang Wenjie led Bohemi and his party to the center of the deck.

Following an order, a huge roar of artillery sounded, and the Persian warship that was parked five hundred meters away from the warship was shrouded in flames, and the entire warship was blown to pieces in the bombardment.

Boheme was so horrified that his knees weakened and he almost fell to the ground. At this moment, his eyes completely changed.

Obviously, the cannons on these warships were extremely powerful, and unlike the shells of Persian artillery, these shells also exploded.

Tang Wenjie was very satisfied with the effect of the bombardment. He patiently explained the artillery and ammunition on the battleship before Bohemi recovered.

“Messengers of the great Eastern Empire, I sincerely welcome your arrival. I will arrange this meeting as soon as possible.”

Bohemi put away his unrealistic ideas at this moment. In his opinion, these six warships are enough to destroy all the Persians. Battleship.

What’s more, the soldiers on the battleship are carrying powerful-looking muskets. If they want to attack Abbas, he probably won’t be able to defend it.

“In that case, I would like to thank Governor Boxi.” Tang Wenjie showed a scheming smile, and then he gestured to Fang Fangheng.

Understanding, Fang Fang Heng came over holding a plate.

There are glass beads, pocket watches, soaps, perfumes and more than a dozen industrial products on this plate. If a good relationship can be established with Persia, the empire may be able to gain a large market.

Boheme’s eyes lit up. Everything on the plate seemed mysterious and noble. Compared with Pamir’s income, he got a richer gift.

This made him feel ecstatic, and Tang Wenjie became more and more cute in his eyes.

“You are the most generous friends I have ever seen. If you don’t mind, you can go to Abbas for fun, but don’t worry, I guarantee that no one will hurt you.” Bosimi completely accepted Tang Wenjie and his party. After all, who would Having trouble with wealthy visitors.

Tang Wenjie’s goal has been achieved. He believes that Bohemi’s words are sincere, “We have been drifting at sea for six months and are indeed very tired. However, we also have strict discipline and will send the soldiers to Abbas in batches to rest. As for them We will pay for all the food and drinks.”

He did this because he did not want to refute Bosimi’s face, and at the same time ensured his own safety. If they all went to Abbas and were caught in one fell swoop, it would be too late to cry.

“Of course there is no problem.”

Boheme said happily, and with a few more polite words, he returned to the shore with the Persian soldiers.

Turning to Pamir, he said solemnly, “Go to Ctesiphon with the fastest horse and tell the king everything here truthfully. This Eastern Empire is very important to Persia.”

Pamir nodded and walked towards Bohemian. Li, he ran all the way to the stables. He got so many gems from the Eastern Empire, and he was very motivated to do things.

Watching Pamir leave, Boheme’s thoughts came alive. For him, the arrival of the Eastern Empire was an opportunity for him and his family.

Just from the gifts they gave, he could see endless wealth beckoning in the future, and this time he must promote the establishment of friendship between the two parties.

…

Ctesiphon.

King Cambis III and Grand Wazir al-Sasi were troubled by the presence of French envoys in Istanbul.

“The French envoys arrived in Istanbul. This is really a strange thing. What did they talk about.” Gambis asked.

The war between Persia and the Ottoman Empire has never stopped for two hundred years, and the two sides often clashed. Under such circumstances, France appeared in the capital of the archenemy, and he naturally felt nervous.

“According to the informants we installed, France wants to cooperate with the Ottoman Empire to fight the threat from the Eastern Empire, and at the expense of Crimea and the Greek Peninsula. It won’t be long before they will sign a treaty in Greece. Now this matter is in It is well known in Istanbul’s aristocratic circles that Saliman is also preparing to ask the West to give Ottoman some firearms as a price for their choice to side with the West,” Alsasi said one word at a time.

Years of war have allowed both countries to have their own spies lurking in each other’s country, so they can learn some public intelligence in a timely manner.

“This is really bad news.” Gambis frowned deeply. Without the restraint of the Western countries, the Ottomans would become even more unscrupulous, which would definitely be a disaster for Persia.

But what makes him feel helpless is that he is powerless to deal with the current situation.

Only half a month later, his worries were dispelled by the news from Abbas, which was the news brought by Pamir.
