C1873 Waves in the Indian Ocean

India had always been a pearl on the crown of the British Empire, the most important treasure in the entire British colonial system.

Since the late 19th century, India's black tea production has replaced China's: cotton, spices, opium... And so on and so forth.

More importantly, the control of India also controls the Indian Ocean, thus ensuring the security of Europe's golden route to Asia.

If you didn't come to the Indian Ocean, you wouldn't have been able to guess how many soldiers the British had invested here. When the joint fleet finished their live ammunition exercise and was close to the Sri Lanka, six more battleships joined the queue. These six battleships were all steamboat battleships, the combination of steam power s and sail power.

Maybe because the pressure brought by the Zhiyuan Warship was too strong, the British Prime Minister ordered for them to use the highest specification to protect the ship from the Malacca all the way to the London British Navy.

Was it really just to keep him safe? Actually, the 33 battleships from before were already fleet that no country dared to challenge. Adding these steam ships was completely unnecessary.

But Xiao Letian understood what Benjamin and the British politicians were thinking. They were trying to scare him to death with their numbers, trying to put pressure on him.

Furthermore, through the intelligence network of Fang Guan and the King Yi, Xiao Letian had already found out that the British were secretly imitating three Zhiyuan Warship at a time. It was just that they still had two years before they entered the water.

The new battleships were still being built and could not be used to scare people, so they had to rely on numbers to fill the gap. The South China Sea and Bengali area battleships had all been assembled, and now it was the Indian colonies' s turn.

However, he didn't expect the Indian colony to be so generous. Six armor-covered steamboat battleships were pulled out, and six black smoke belts appeared in the azure sky of the Indian Ocean.

If a guest came from afar, then he had to receive him! The Zhiyuan Warship's chefs sighed and said, "Let's go and continue preparing for the feast. This group of Englishman are too delicious, we'll be exhausted to death with just a few days …"

A new batch of officers had arrived to pay their respects to the Emperor and the Chief, but the last unlucky ones were the staff. The third shift did not rest for twenty-four hours, and the sea was rough.

Cooking was a very unique profession. Even though it was just cooking, the boss usually wouldn't dare to make things difficult for these people. It wasn't because they poisoned you, but because they were afraid of spitting water into your mouth.

The one in charge of the internal affairs was of course, Fatty Jin Sanshun. He was sensitive to the mood swings of the staff and quickly went into the kitchen to increase the reward by 30%.

Jin Sanshun was roasted so fiercely that his entire body was dripping oil, but he did not dare to relax. "Old and young men! All of you better work hard. Even if you don't want money, we still have to respect the Chinese, don't we? We can't let the foreign devils look down on us. They say that our Chinese don't even know how to cook, right? "

"I know that everyone is tired and seasick, but no matter how difficult it is, we have to endure it … No matter what, we have to give the leader some face! "

At the mention of the Führer, all the men were filled with indignation. "Even if we don't go for the British large nose, we still have to do our best for the leader …"

"But Captain King, we have a suggestion. Would you consider it?" A chef asked with a smile on his face. The sharp knife in his hand was still slicing up the fresh fish.

Jin Sanshun did not dare to slight his. What are the conditions? Is it about the money? "This is easy to do, even you guys will not lose out …"

The chef, who was preparing a piece of fish made from vinegar, kept saying, "Sir!" We don't have any requests. Can we ask the leader to take a photo when we return home in the future? When we hang it in the ancestral hall, won't it bring honor to our ancestors as well? "

"Yes, yes, yes, why didn't I think of that? Let's ask the Führer to take a picture, and we'll keep the house!"

Jin Sanshun wiped away his sweat and thought, "The leader has become a god?" He's even guarding the house … However, he did not dare to offend these famous chefs who were at the top of their ranks. They would have to put in effort to host all sorts of banquets in Europe.

"No problem!" This matter is my decision! "Don't wait for me to return home. Once I get to Europe, I will find a chance to have the Head of State accompany you to take a big picture together!"

After calming the tired chefs, Jin Sanshun walked back to the deck to welcome them. However, the moment he arrived on the deck, he found the atmosphere extremely strange, as though everyone was standing on the deck at the north side. People kept looking at the sea in the north.

Some of them were looking over, while others who did not have binoculars were looking over as well. Fatty Jin Sanshun did not know what happened and went over to Bing Tai Lang's side and asked, "Brother! What's wrong? What are you looking at? "What's a girl like at sea …"

"Nani?" Big girl? Where... Pah pah pah, what nonsense are you spouting! "Five unknown warships suddenly appeared in the northern seas, and now the British have forced their way in …"

"What?" "An unknown battleship!" Without a word, Jin Sanshun took Bing Tai Lang's telescope. The rope was still hanging from Bing Tai Lang's neck, and in the end, even pulled Bing Tai Lang's head over.

"Pain, pain, pain …" You fat bastard... "Count …"

How could Jin Sanshun have the time to care if it was painful or not, he only had eyes for those few sail battleship of unknown origins. No, one of them was also a battleship with a wooden hull covered in steel, but it was not a bright ship, but rather a propeller battleship just like the Zhiyuan Warship.

"Good boy!" The only person in the Indian Ocean who could bring out such a warship must be France! F * ck, the French are looking for trouble again! "

There was no mistake. The one from the north was the last armed force of the French in the Indian Ocean, the five main battleship s were the last to stand up for themselves, and the rest of the warships had been sent back to the Atlantic Ocean by the French Emperor to face the Prussian threat.

In 1869, the British had taken control of the entire Indian continent. The French were forced to Bangladesh, Burma, and elsewhere.

Although the strength of the French were no longer as strong as before, they could not lose the pride of a Gaul male. They would definitely not allow Xiao Letian to walk past them arrogantly, even if he had to add insult to insult, they would still come to join in the fun.

The last five battleships aggressively advanced from the north. They knew that the British would not wage war with them, so they approached the United Fleet without any scruples, brazenly advancing in parallel.

According to the old Navy saying, this was a means to get in your way and make you feel disgusted. It was a very rogue method.
