Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1098

[Chapter 1088 Dark Eve]

Ctesiphon.

After three months of suffering, Gumbis finally received a response from the Eastern Empire.

This time the fleet led by Fang Fangheng arrived at Abbas again.

“Our Emperor has agreed to His Majesty’s conditions. In the next two years, the empire will be established by Persia to produce muskets and artillery. I hope that His Majesty the King can also fulfill his original promise.” House Heng faced Gambis Cope with ease.

This time Tang Wenjie asked him to come by himself to exercise his abilities. At the same time, he also had richer industrial knowledge than Tang Wenjie.

Originally, they could have come back a month earlier, but in order to obtain the location of the oil field as soon as possible, the exploration team of the Minerals Department also joined the voyage, and the drilling equipment came with the exploration team.

Gumbis shouted in his heart for God’s blessing, and said: “We Persians keep our word. Why don’t we formally sign a treaty today.”

That’s what Fang Fangheng meant. He took out the prepared clauses. This is what Gumbis said. I agreed at the beginning.

After briefly reading the article and confirming that there was no problem, Gumbis signed his name and stamped his royal seal on the article.

In the terms, Gambis officially leased Abbas to the Chinese Empire. From now on, Abbas will be equal to the territory of the Chinese Empire for one hundred years, and the Chinese Empire can exercise all state power in Abbas.

At the same time, merchants from the Chinese Empire are allowed to do business throughout Persia. Oil merchants with permission from the Chinese Empire can exploit oil in Persia, and Persia is not allowed to impose any fees.

After accepting the note, the house was in a happy mood. This diplomatic operation was successful and complete. He said: “Dear Your Majesty the King, this time we are accompanied by the imperial exploration team. Please allow them to enter Persia to explore the oil fields. , while ensuring their safety.”

“Of course there is no problem, but protecting them requires money,” Gumbis said slyly.

Fang Fang Heng was startled, and then said with a wry smile: “I hope His Majesty the King’s price can be fair.”

Gumbis just joked with Fang Fang Heng, laughed a few times, and said: “Don’t be nervous, Persia is not a country of rogues. The price of the guard will be the same as in Persia. “

Fangfang Heng was relieved, and then he motioned to Zang Qianjun, the captain of the exploration team, who was responsible for the entire oil extraction this time.

Zang Qianjun is a young man wearing glasses and seems a bit dull. When they arrived, they were summoned by the emperor to the imperial study to study the specific location of the oil field.

Based on the geographical location of the Bandar Abbas port on the map, they believe that there is abundant oil in the Bandar Abbas region.

And their emperor also clearly told them that the Persian oil fields are in the inland area of Abbas, which is why they leased the Abbas port.

Once the oil wells were established, they could transport a steady stream of oil directly from Abbas back to the empire.

Thinking of this, Zang Qianjun couldn’t wait to enter Abbas City, and headed for the predicted location under the protection of Persian guards.

Singapore.

Lei Ming was standing on the coast observing a military exercise. Six months passed by in vain, and the time for them to attack Calcutta was getting closer and closer.

In the past six months, he has not been idle for a day. He has been formulating combat plans with the officers of the Southeast Army and transforming these combat plans into exercises.

This exercise was now the final battle plan for the attack on Calcutta.

“Commander Lei Ming, all five hundred Guards artillery pieces have arrived.” While Lei Ming was observing the soldiers’ drills attentively, the quartermaster reported to Lei Ming the status of the equipment.

“Have everything been checked?” Lei Ming asked, taking advantage of these six months to mobilize a large amount of equipment to Singapore.

At the same time, in order to reduce their pressure, the General Staff mobilized 200 machine guns from other military regions for them, greatly increasing their firepower.

The ammunition used as fire support was also very sufficient, which made him very satisfied and quite eager to try.

“Everything has been checked and everything is fine. You can go to the battlefield at any time.” The quartermaster responded. He did not dare to mess around on this issue.

Hearing this, Lei Ming burst out laughing. He looked at Yue Yun who was watching the show and said, “Our Southeast Army’s personnel, equipment, and ammunition are all ready. How about your navy?”

Yue Yun curled his lips, “Our navy There is no need to prepare. We have the final say on the sea now, and we can set off at any time. “

Lei Ming’s eyes flashed with excitement,” he just needed an order from the emperor.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came towards them, “You two.” What is the general talking about?”

Yue Yun and Lei Ming turned around and saw Wang Xuan, their expressions suddenly became unnatural.

Wang Xuan’s identity as a secret guard was no secret in the empire, and everyone was wary of the emperor’s “eyes.”

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Wang Xuan smiled and said: “What are your expressions? This time I am here to provide you with intelligence support. Don’t you want to know how Calcutta is doing now?”

Lei Ming suddenly regained his composure and said : “Of course I want to know. We were just a surprise. It was just a surprise.”

Wang Xuan did not expose it. He naturally knew his power in the empire. He said: “The time has come to attack Calcutta. Our secret guards in Calcutta have sent news. , Now the morale of the coalition forces is unstable. Yesterday, the British soldiers clashed with the French soldiers over the issue of food and grass. They gathered so many troops in Calcutta, and the food in Calcutta was consumed very quickly. Now they have collected food and grass from the Indian states, but this caused Many feudal states were dissatisfied. “

Yue Yun exclaimed: “You still have Indians as secret guards?”

Wang Xuan smiled mysteriously, “There are no Indians. Some time ago in Calcutta, a mysterious figure suddenly recruited a large number of remnants of wealthy families who opposed the empire. This attracted our attention. We took the opportunity to send secret guards to infiltrate them. Can you guess this mystery? Who is the character?”

Yue Yun and Lei Ming shook their heads at the same time.

“Cao family father and son!” Wang Xuan showed a strange smile, “They are the ones who took the lead in this matter. The purpose of recruiting these traitors is to disrupt the empire. Many of the morons in the empire now are caused by this group of people.”

“It turns out that So, hehe, we can catch them all this time.” Lei Ming geared up.

Wang Xuan said with a smile: “This is the purpose of my coming here. According to the secret guards we installed, after the merchant council was destroyed, a group of people were left behind as secret agents. These people seemed to have surrendered to the empire, but they harbored evil intentions, so you We must catch the Cao family and their sons to get the list of these hidden men. The emperor has been waiting patiently for this list. “
