Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1099

[Chapter 1089 The east wind arrives]

“Huh, as long as the Cao family and his son are in India, they will not be allowed to go unpunished this time.”

Lei Ming clenched his fist tightly. He still remembered the destruction caused by the Cao family and his son in the south. He felt that this betrayal If you don’t kill the thief, you can’t vent your hatred.

“I hope so. Cao Kun is very cunning. It may take a lot of effort to catch him, but with our people watching, we will be more confident this time.” Wang Xuan said grimly, which made Lei Ming and Yue Yun felt chills behind their backs. Being with the secret guard leader was really stressful.

The purpose of Wang Xuan’s coming to Singapore was just to remind Lei Ming and Yue Yun. After asking him about this, he took his entourage and left on a battleship. No one knew his itinerary.

After sending Wang Xuan away, Lei Ming immediately summoned his generals. The information Wang Xuan brought was very important. After being besieged for half a year, the coalition forces in Calcutta finally got into trouble. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.

Once Wang Xuan sends this information to Qingzhou, the emperor is likely to issue an order to attack Calcutta, so they need to prepare from now on.

Like Lei Ming, Yue Yun also smelled the smell of gunpowder getting closer and closer. Now India is the most difficult nail to crack in the South Ocean. Once this nail is pulled out, the empire will truly lock Europe’s colonization of Asia.

Calcutta.

Nicholas and Butlin walked past the rows of corpses, all of them British soldiers who had died in the conflict.

Since the Indian coast was blocked, they have been trapped here for half a year. In the past six months, the situation of the coalition forces has become worse and worse.

Now he had to admit that this Eastern Empire was really terrifying. He originally thought that the Eastern Empire would take advantage of the victory in the naval battle to land in Calcutta and have a head-on conflict with them, but they waited and waited, but no soldiers from the Eastern Empire came.

However, their anger due to the failure of the naval battle was completely dissipated in this strange calm. The morale of the coalition soldiers was now extremely low.

In his opinion, the root cause of all this was the Eastern Empire’s blockade of the coast, which left the coalition soldiers with no hope of returning home.

“We lost six hundred people and more than two thousand soldiers were injured.” Nicholas looked decadent, “What a good boy, they did not die in the hands of the enemy, but died in the hands of their allies.”

“If the situation continues to deteriorate, We are not the only ones who have died. The problem of food and grass is our biggest crisis now.” Buterin said: “You must force the princes to donate food and grass now.”

Nicholas frowned, “Buterin, this is. Impossible, don’t you think this place is not chaotic enough? There have always been forces against us here. If we do this, the feudal states will unite and drive us away!”

“Just a bunch of them? Have you forgotten? How did I destroy the rebel forces in the past two years?” Buterin sneered: “We can control India not with kindness, but with guns. Look at these soldiers who are going crazy. Maybe tomorrow their guns will be Aim at us. “

Nicholas sneered: “If we don’t face the threat of the Eastern Empire, this plan may be feasible, but what if the Eastern Empire launches an attack at this time?”

” Do you still have the power to quell the invasion of the princes?

Not so much. Without food and grass, it is also a dead end.” Buterin gestured to the soldiers around him.

The soldiers simultaneously raised their guns and pointed them at Nicholas.

“Are you crazy?” Nicholas shouted facing the black hole of the gun.

Buterin sneered: “I don’t want to be pointed at their guns. I can only let them point at you. Give the order, Nicholas, we have no way out.”

Nicholas closed his eyes in despair, and after a moment of silence, he turned around After entering the Governor’s Palace, an order signed with Nicholas’s name was sent out.

After receiving the order, Buterin immediately summoned the coalition officers. With this order, they could collect grain and grass in the name of the Governor’s Palace.

With justifiable excuses, the coalition forces quickly sent a large number of soldiers out of the city of Calcutta, and outside the city was the territory of the Kata State.

In a hotel in Calcutta, the Cao family and his son witnessed all this, and with them were the survivors of the wealthy families they recruited during this time.

Different from the calm atmosphere of the previous days, everyone’s expressions were a little solemn now. The Imperial Navy had blocked the coast, which effectively blocked their way back to England.

“Dad, where are they going?” Cao Zhengtong asked with some confusion.

“We went to grab food. I didn’t expect that the coalition forces would be forced to do this now. It seems that this war is very dangerous. We must find a way.” Cao Kun said.

Everyone else looked ugly when they heard this, and some even turned pale with fright. They knew very well the consequences they would face if they were caught.

Emperor Xiao Ming must have their heads hanging on the top of Qingzhou City.

“Staying here means waiting to die. The coalition forces are now demoralized and are no match for the imperial soldiers. Once the imperial soldiers come, none of us will be able to escape.”

“What should we do? I don’t want to die here.”

” “Oh, what a bad luck.”

“…”

There was a dejected atmosphere in the hotel room.

“I know a pirate named Ma Hai. He has been plundering merchant ships near Myanmar. As long as we can get to Myanmar, we may be able to escape on his ship.” A young man said.

“Is this true?” Cao Kun said in surprise.

“Of course it’s true. The two of us once wanted to call each other brothers. When he was captured by officers and soldiers in Guangzhou, I was the one who protected him.” The young man said.

Cao Zhengtong and Cao Kun looked at each other. This young man joined them a year ago and was also a son of a wealthy family living overseas.

“This is the only way now, Liu Qing, don’t joke, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude.” Cao Kun threatened.

“Speaker, I also want to live, how could I lie to you.” Liu Qing said innocently.

Cao Kun nodded slightly, “It’s easy to go to Myanmar. When I went from Guangzhou to India, I passed through Myanmar. At that time, I checked the big and small checkpoints along the way. Now they will definitely sell me some thin noodles.”

After discussing this matter, everyone showed their faces. Smiling, they went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.

Liu Qing also turned around and left, with a cold look in his eyes. The Cao family and his son would never have thought that he was the spy planted by the secret guard.

And the bandit Ma Hai he mentioned was also one of theirs. As long as the Cao family and his son got on Ma Hai’s boat, they would have nowhere to escape.

The reason why he made this decision was that he saw that the Cao family and his son wanted to run away. Instead of them running around, it would be better for him to set a trap for them to jump.

Now that the Cao family’s father and son were in a critical condition and sought medical treatment, they believed him, which gave him this opportunity. However, before leaving, he had to pass on the news, and this required the use of the empire’s battery-operated radio.
