New Delhi.
New Delhi is close to the original capital of the Mughal Empire Delhi on the edge of the newly built city, the then Viceroy of India in order to prove that Britain is the only ruler on the continent of Tianzhu, deliberately on the edge of Delhi, with the power of Tianzhu, rebuilt a huge and incomparably strong magnificent city, used to boast of national strength and deliberately chose the dilapidated and lonely old capital edge, for comparison, this is almost in the face of the Tianzhu Emperor, but the Tianzhu Emperor has never seen the sun outside since he was under house arrest, Naturally, I haven't seen the majestic city of New Delhi.
The Governor of New Delhi, Mabri Newtman, sat in a chair with dark purple velvet mahogany armrests, bowed his head and flipped through some papers, he was obviously not young, full of gray hair, that is, because he was gray hair, so the gray hair was mixed in it, it didn't look very conspicuous, his expression was very calm, and his spirit was also very good, yes, it had been many years since he suppressed the rebellion of the locals in Egypt and then rose to the position of Governor General of India, but there are not many affairs here in India, His only responsibility is to collect taxes, and then to seek some benefits for these British compatriots below, which does not need to come forward at all, except for the year before last to bother to complete the requirements of the Privy Council, arrange financial and material resources to subvert Shangri-La abroad, the rest of the time, this governor is to be comfortable and comfortable, the only fly in the ointment is that India is too hot here, and now it is only June The weather is very hot, Marbury misses London in the rainy summer, but now it's okayThe intimate Indian servant had already prepared ice cubes and fans, so that the temperature in the room was still pleasant.
This day should have been good weather, after all, there was good news from Bangladesh, saying that it was repelling the Chinese, Marbury knew very well the potential identity of that group of Chinese, British colonial governors, have a certain degree of diplomatic power, so of course he also contacted the Chinese Prime Minister Yamen, protested, protested that these people with royal status did not go to Tianzhu through diplomatic channels, of course, Marbury will not have any embarrassment about China, between countries, Even if they are caught in bed in public, politicians can turn a blind eye, and can distinguish one, two, three, and the Chinese have chosen the shameless routine, saying that they came here voluntarily, and Marbury will not continue to talk about anything diplomatically, for the strong, the most suitable tool to persuade people is weapons.
Originally, the Bengal side had repelled the Chinese, which was completely good news, but as the ruler of the whole of India, Marbury obviously would not just stare at this place, he needed a complete solution, or a plan to make these Chinese unable to achieve the climate.
But at this time, Cobb City actually fell, Marbury put down the paper, let out a long breath, originally according to the Chinese like to pile up or will pay attention to what national interests of the race, according to the previous routine, they will definitely support quickly, there are many ways to support, Marbury knows some Chinese art of war routines, they are likely not to directly support Dhaka, but turn their heads to attack New Delhi, in this way, the military defense arranged by themselves will come into play.
But unexpectedly, the Chinese actually attacked Cobb, Marbury rubbed his eyes, "Why did these Chinese suddenly attack Cobb?" It wasn't the closest they were to New Delhi. ”
There were many New Delhi officials standing nearby, all of whom were Marbury's most capable assistants in Tianzhu, of course, all of them British, and not a single yellow-skinned native.
The closest to Marbury was a handsome young man with golden hair and blue eyes in a linen plaid suit, and he said to Marbury, "Lord Governor, according to my judgment, they may have some problems with logistics and materials, so they must be reinforced, then Cobb City has become the target of these Chinese attacks very unbelievably." ”
"Although the city of Cobb City is small, they are the main route for transporting materials in the western provinces, and a considerable part of the tax revenue in the first half of this year may be placed in Cobb, and the Chinese occupy it, for sure," another official in charge of taxes shook his head helplessly, "those materials cannot be saved." ”
"It doesn't matter," the handsome young man smiled confidently, "if they fancy the money and supplies, then their end will come, and it is not fast to walk with so many things," he stretched out his right hand towards Marbury to stroke his chest, and then bowed slightly, "Dear Lord Governor, as long as you give the order, your most loyal subordinates will take the men and horses to kill those Chinese and sacrifice their heads in front of you." ”
"Oh, oh, dear Charlie, don't be so anxious, I know you are an invincible warrior," Marbury was very satisfied with the statement of the handsome young man called Charlie in front of him, every leader likes to charge forward for the boss's subordinates, "But now, it's not time for you to go out, my handsome boy, you are the most outstanding general of our British Empire, you are only here to Tianzhu for a vacation, I am already very sorry for letting you come to help me with ideas, where can you still go to the battlefield?" Now," Marbury shook his finger, "to deal with these people, you don't need to send out you, the rising star of the British Empire, they don't deserve it." ”
Charlie smiled arrogantly and bowed to Marbury, "Thank you, Honorable Governor. ”
"If they like the gold and silver of Cobb City, then they will definitely prefer the gold and silver jewelry here in New Delhi, there is no doubt about that," Marbury nodded, he looked very open, as the ruler of the largest overseas territory of the British Empire, he did not look down on the fall of such a small city at all, "They are probably also supporting the Bengal side of the move, don't worry." Marbury was calm, "I have prepared an ambush circle on the outskirts of New Delhi, if they want to attack New Delhi, they will definitely fall into our ambush, and when the time comes, they will have to spit out as much gold and silver they take from us." ”
In Marbury's view, this matter is not a big deal at all, he governs the whole of India, and the power of these Chinese is at best a group of pests.
