Seventy-nine, majestic
"But I must warn you, Lord Doge," said the clerk, who sent out another pamphlet, detailing the details of the garrison of this wave at the mouth of the Great River, "and they have a formal army of more than five thousand men, all armed to the point of issuing muskets, and if I are asked for advice, I think it is better not to confront them head-on." ”
"But dear Mr. Secretary, if we don't try, how do we know that we will lose?" Gatsby smiled slightly, he raised the delicate Chinese porcelain teacup in his hand again, these exquisite porcelain, or Chinese merchants from the south of China thousands of miles to transport, he finally got a set, it is really a treasure, usually use this set, "They are six thousand, but we also have our dear servants, the most faithful companions, Tianzhu people." ”
"I see," the clerk closed the booklet, "I'm going to arrange everything for my subordinates, and I don't think I need the power to arrange everything." ”
"You can arrange a little bit first, I personally think that you can arrange half of the forces first, I have already issued documents to those arrogant Chinese, it is clear that these young people have forgotten one thing their ancestors did best, that is, modesty and prudence, then I must teach them a lesson, if they are going to come and capture Dhaka, then I can't guarantee everything."
The clerk knows very well, Gatsby means that he does not like them to attack Dhaka, but in fact, they have been together for a long time, understand what Gatsby means, is to hope that they will attack Dhaka, after all, these Chinese come to Tianzhu, if they wander around, they are afraid that it will be difficult to contain, but they are solemn, waiting for them in Dhaka, which is a completely okay strategy. The clerk was about to leave, but he didn't expect that the servant outside humbly and respectfully sent the document in, Gatsby opened it, and smiled happily, "This is the letter written by those wandering Chinese in the north." ”
"Oh? Excuse me, my lord, is it the next batch of Chinese who came in? They didn't seem to show up together. ”
"Yes, intelligence analysis of these people is only a little, not much, two or three thousand, this is no problem at all, but they are very shrewd, they hid in the mountains and hills of the north at once, and did not meddle in our side of the matter, from this point of view," Gatsby put down the paperwork, "should be very smart people, but how could they do such a stupid thing?" The tone in which he actually wrote to me asking me to hand over Madrid Sihan at once, or else I would bear all the consequences, seemed very familiar to me......"
"Yes, my lord, this is the tone you wrote to those Chinese at the mouth of the big river."
"Why should I give him Madrid Si Khan? I didn't pay attention to those people in the big estuary, why should I be so polite to them? Gatsby smiled slightly, and no longer paid attention to the paperwork sent by Xue Pan, "If these people are not sensible, then we will clean up the people in the mouth of the big river, and then go to the north to clean them up." ”
"Tell the Governor over there in New Delhi," said Gatsby, "I need his support here, and if the heroic and invincible native soldiers of New Delhi cannot give us, please send the North African Army here, the Chinese are very strong, and with the strength of Bengal province alone, there is certainly no way to resist." ”
"Those are the most precious treasures of Lord Marbury, the Viceroy of India, and the greatest means for him to suppress the various forces that are ready to move in India," the clerk laughed, "and his subordinates think, my lordship, that he is not willing to give them." ”
"Then he can hand over Madrid Sihan," Gatsby said indifferently, "I am sure that these Chinese have no territorial claims to Tianzhu, they are not crazy enough not to know how much weight they weigh, if Governor Marbury can hand over Madrid Sihan, they will definitely leave immediately, we can quickly reply to the trade routes in the Far East, Lord Marbury doesn't like Chinese silk the most?" As long as he hands over the damned Shangri-La lord who brought disaster to Bangladesh, I am sure that the Chinese will spread silk all over their road from the Chinese capital to New Delhi. ”
"Your Excellency, you don't seem to be on the side of our British Empire." The clerk snickered.
"You are wrong," Gatsby said tactfully, "I am thinking about this from the perspective of the British Empire, I heard that among these Chinese, there is a very noble prince, and there is more than one, such people, if there is a loss in Bangladesh, although diplomatically we said in the past, because they were not allowed to come to Tianzhu privately, diplomatically it is untenable, but in the future the Chinese will definitely retaliate against India to a certain extent, So who will stand in the way of the anger of the Chinese? Of course it's me. ”
"If I need to fight the Chinese, I need soldiers, if I want to let the Chinese go, then I need Madrid Sihan, if there are none," Gatsby, apparently a very seasoned British civilian, "Mr. Secretary, what do you think I should do next?" ”
"Of course, there have been many failures in Bengal," the clerical officer laughed, "Only when the news of the defeat everywhere is transmitted back to New Delhi will Governor Marbury face up to the menacing Chinese and cannot easily defeat, and then he will inevitably give you something, whether it is the damned king or the elite of the North African Legion who will make the enemy damn." ”
"My secretary, my friend!" Gatsby applauded and was overjoyed, "Looks like you could have taken on a more important position!" ”
Since May, the Ganges River flowing through Dhaka has begun to enter the flood season, and at the same time, a lot of bad news has been transmitted in Tianzhu, and a group of "unidentified" military forces in China have begun to attack Bangladesh Province everywhere, including many port cities at the mouth of the sea have also been captured by the Chinese, and the entire Bangladesh Province has been occupied by the Chinese, and about fifty British native soldiers have been killed.
It doesn't matter if tens of thousands of local people die in Tianzhu, it doesn't matter how many people die like bed bugs, but the biggest responsibility for the killing of British native soldiers will definitely fall on the head of the Indian governor, who received an urgent letter from Gatsby, the governor of Bangladesh, and after careful consideration, finally gave Bengal a clear aid.
And in the mountainous hills near Gorkha in Bangladesh, a group of Chinese are busy, roasting meat, Xue Pan is lying on a soft cushion, lazily basking in the sun, while waiting for someone to roast meat for himself to eat, but did not expect Li Man to rush over, "Class leader, the big thing is not good!" ”
