December 24th.

After Lei Ming completely captured the city of Boer, Yue Yun gave the order to advance towards Kolkata.

After two days of sailing, the mighty fleet reached the sea off Calcutta, and the news reached the Governor's Palace of Kolkata as soon as possible.

"The fact that the fleet of the Chinese Empire did not pass through Malacca, but went around directly from the southern side of Malaysia, which can only show one thing, I am afraid that Jakarta has fallen."

In the Governor's Palace, Buterin pessimistically explained to the commanders of the armies of the other four countries.

"Bang!"

Buterin's words fell, and a blond-haired young man slammed it on the table.

"The Chinese Empire has deceived people too much, we have been operating for a hundred years for these colonies, and now they are eating away little by little, if we can't curb their greed, I'm afraid our colonies all over the world will fall into their hands." The young man said loudly.

"Klaus is so right, and that's what we're here for, isn't it? I wish this damn war ended soon. Nicholas said in a rough voice with his pipe in his mouth.

The forces of the Five Nations were gathered here, and he, the governor of Calcutta, had a difficult task, because the coordination of all aspects alone gave them a headache.

The most important thing is that now that all the colonies of the Netherlands have been lost, then all the food supplies will fall on the heads of the British, which makes him very unhappy.

Buterin laughed: "The only way to end the war is for us to beat the Chinese Empire to the bustle, or be beaten by them." “

Then he looked at the young man, this is called Filin, the young officer is from the Netherlands, his father is the governor of Jagorda, Eivre, so after hearing his analysis, Filin is so angry.

"We must have beaten them to the ground." Fei Lin looked a little impatient, "Now that the fleet of the Chinese Empire is at the mouth of the Ganges River, hand over the command of the fleet to me, and I will definitely sink them all." ”

"Hahaha...... Do young people only talk big now? Wilson, a good admiral, has lost at the hands of the Chinese Empire, can you command a fleet with no hair?" said the bearded officer sitting across the round table sarcastically.

Film's face turned red, this bearded man was the Spanish admiral Cobancy, who was quite famous in Europe.

The generals of Portugal and France also let out a suppressed smile at this time, mocking Film's inadequacy.

Buterin frowned, this time the five-nation alliance seems to be huge, but the contradictions in it can be seen by a fool.

Now no one wants to lose their strength to go to war with the Empire, and for this reason, no one wants to put their fleet under the command of Filin.

With a slight sigh in his heart, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time for infighting, now that the empire has captured Jakarta, there is no doubt that India is the next target to be attacked, if we can't unite and rub the sharp spirit of the Chinese empire, then we are facing the loss of all the interests of Asia." ”

"In that case, it is better to let the fleets of Britain and France serve as the vanguard, now Asia has only your interests, not ours."

Cobansey said rudely again, and the words made both Filin and the Portuguese officer nod slightly, as if they were being used as gunmen by the British and French.

Nikolance looked displeased, "If you are so insincere, our cooperation will be terminated, after occupying India, the target of the Chinese Empire is Africa, if I am not mistaken, you also have a lot of colonies in Africa, the black slave trade has also made you a lot of money, as well as North and South America, the greed of the Chinese Empire is unlimited, and you are so willing to let the interests that we have worked hard for hundreds of years?" ”

The officers of the other four countries were all silent at this time.

Nicholas continued: "The Chinese Empire is at the enemy of all of Europe, and now that Tsarist Russia is also on our side, in order to cope with the rise of the Chinese Empire, the union of Europe is not far away. ”

"In that case, let's choose the man who will lead the fleet." "I'm voting for myself, I'm the only one here who has experience in big naval battles." ”

When Cobansy's words fell, the other three all raised their hands, but Filin hesitated but raised his hand, he knew that he was inferior to Cobancy after all.

"Okay, then the Admiral of the Combined Fleet is Mr. Cobancy, so do you have any suggestions for now?" Buterin was a little excited.

Kebansi pondered for a moment, and he said: "According to intelligence, the warships of the Chinese Empire are all ironclad ships, and all the defeats of the coalition forces last time were so complete because of the rampage of the ironclad ships, and our shells could not even break through the opponent's ironclad armour. “

"That's right, that's what the crew members who escaped said." Nicholas said.

Kebansi smiled gloomily, he said: "Obviously, it is self-defeating to fight with this fleet, if Jakarta is lost, it means that all fifty warships have been sunk, then plus the warships that have just arrived, we still have one hundred and fifty warships left, and we still have an advantage in numbers, so this time we should take the method of surprise attack, using the cover of the night to attack, as long as the naval battle becomes a broadside battle, then we still have a glimmer of hope for victory." ”

"It's a great idea." Buterin glanced at Cobancy appreciatively, "If we can win like this, we may be able to capture all the ironclads." “

The others also looked appreciative and nodded.

A plan to attack the Imperial warships was agreed, and Buterin immediately announced the disbandment, leaving Cobansey to prepare for the surprise attack tonight.

According to their plan, after nightfall, Cobancy led the fleet down the Ganges, and during the day they had already detected the location and distance of the Imperial warship through the observation post, so they could also find the specific location in the night.

"Prepare all the hooks and toss them onto the Imperial ships as soon as they hit." Kebancy carefully advised.

The crew nodded their heads in the dark, and although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, they were excited, and if they could capture the ironclad, they would really be rich.

It's just that their illusions were quickly pierced by bright beams of light, and just as they were about to approach the ironclad, a dazzling pillar of light suddenly shone from the ironclad, exposing them completely.

Kebancy struggled to open his eyes, and the pillar of light illuminated their ship as bright as day, and he was suddenly cold, and his cold hair stood on end.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Before he could react, countless fires lit up in the darkness, and then he saw that the warships he led turned into fireballs in the explosion.
