"Riesling, Britain has surrendered!"

On the ironclad ship, Liu Chen pointed to the British soldiers who came out of the trench, all of whom held their hands high above their heads and carried a white flag.

Lei Ming also saw this scene, and a smile gradually bloomed on his face, although fighting a war is the duty of a soldier, no one wants to see their soldiers die on the battlefield.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, if it weren't for the siege for half a year, we wouldn't have been able to take India with minimal casualties." Lei Ming looked excited.

Patting Liu Chen's arm hard, he continued: "Let's go, go ashore, let's go and accept the surrender of the European coalition forces." “

With that, he burst out laughing.

Liu Chen's eyes also had a smile in his eyes, India is the most difficult British bridgehead to attack in the South Seas, and now this fortress is occupied, which means that all the South Seas are included in the empire, and from then on this South Seas is the back garden of the empire.

With a gesture to the first mate, the battleship sailed toward the port of Calcutta with the sound of a whistle.

In the trench position of the coalition army, Sanyuzhu watched vigilantly the British soldiers coming up from the trench one by one.

The surrender of the British took him by surprise, and he thought that he would not be able to take the trench without a bloody battle, but it was clear that he had overestimated the will of the British to resist in a desperate situation.

Faced with an impossible victory, the Europeans chose to capitulate.

Cautiously keeping an eye on the surrendering British, Sanyuzhu ordered the soldiers to keep the surrendered captives in separate custody and the officers in separate custody.

The purpose of this was to make it impossible for the enemy's officers to unite their soldiers and avoid unnecessary confusion.

In the busyness, Lei Ming and Liu Chen, who were ashore at the dock, quickly arrived at the front position, and at this time, Chang Yuzhu walked over, gave a military salute and said: "Commander, all the soldiers of the coalition have surrendered, excluding the dead soldiers, a total of 41,000 people have surrendered. “

Lei Ming returned a military salute, and he said: "You have to behave very well, I will ask the emperor for credit for you, where is the supreme commander of the coalition now?" “

"They've been held in solitary confinement, I'm going to bring them here now." Sanyuzhu replied, and then he ordered the soldiers beside him to lead the people.

After a while, all the officers of the five countries, including Buterin, were brought to Lei Ming.

"Commander, his name is Buterin, he is the commander of the coalition forces, and the others are the supreme commanders of various countries." Sanyuzhu pointed to Buterin, who had a dejected face, and said.

Thunder's eyebrows furrowed, once upon a time they were helpless in the face of the provocation of the British, and now these Britons can only humbly bow their heads in front of them.

"Commander Buterin, now you should understand how stupid it is to fight the Empire, and if Calcutta had been handed over earlier, there would not have been such an unpleasant thing between us." Lei Ming said slowly.

His words fell, and the translator translated the passage to Buterin.

"Those politicians are indeed stupid, but I will not admit that it is the defeat of our soldiers, if you have your weapons, no one can decide whether you win or lose." Buterin said that he was reluctant to surrender, because even if he could return to Europe, this defeat would be a stain that he would not be able to erase for the rest of his life.

Lei Ming laughed loudly when he heard this, and he said: "Until now, you don't understand a truth, scientific and technological strength is a country's combat capability, are you Europeans holding burning sticks when they conquer the Americas?" What you're lamenting is just the current role reversal. “

Buterin was silent, and after a long sigh, he said, "I hope you will keep your promise and let us go back to Europe." ”

"Of course, we Imperial soldiers have always been the talkers, but this will not be until the end of the second negotiation." Lei Ming said.

With so many soldiers captured in the war of India and the loss of interests in the South Seas, the news reached Europe, and the Europeans would inevitably return to the negotiating table again, and it was time to redefine the global sphere of influence.

Buterin suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, and he naturally understood that the exchange of interests after the war was inevitable.

Letting the soldiers take the officers down, Lei Ming looked at the city of Calcutta in the distance, which was a city on Indian soil but in a European style.

From now on, however, the city would officially belong to the Empire, and after Buterin's surrender, the British soldiers in Calcutta also chose to surrender.

After inspecting the battlefield, Lei Ming and Liu Chen entered the city of Calcutta, where the British soldiers had now been replaced by Imperial soldiers.

Because the British chose to surrender, there was no major damage here, as if it had never been on the battlefield.

In particular, the White Tower, which was the Viceroyalty of the British, was not destroyed in the slightest in the center of Kolkata.

The White Pagoda is white in its entirety, with a dome in the center, surrounded by a hexagonal white city wall with a minaret at each corner of the wall, and it is said that the British built the White Pagoda after gaining a foothold in India, so the White Pagoda was originally used as a fortress.

"The British have been running for so many years and now that they are in the hands of the Empire, I am afraid that their queen will be mad." Lei Ming walked on the bluestone paved road, and he was in a very good mood.

"That's for sure, this Indian peninsula has a population of hundreds of millions, it can be described as a huge market, and the most important thing is that it is fertile and rich in grain production, and if it loses here, Britain will definitely break its bones, and for the empire, not only has one more market to dump, but also one more grain producing area, which is enough to make the lives of the people of the empire go to a higher level." Liu Chen's eyebrows fluttered, his original intention of joining the army was very simple, that is, to live a good life.

He still thinks so, but in order to make the empire rich to the current level of Europe, they need the colonies to provide them with supplies in addition to their own food.

Only when they are materially rich can they completely get rid of their former poverty.

The two of them walked to the Governor's Mansion as they spoke.

Now that the place had been cleaned up by the soldiers, the Governor of Calcutta, Nicholas, had also become their prisoner, and now it had become their temporary office, and he sat down in the former governor's chamber with a smug smile on his face.

However, his smile quickly froze, because he remembered the information provided by the secret guard, so he said to Chang Yuzhu, who was following him: "Cao Kun has fled to Burma, but there may still be remnants of thieves in Calcutta, and the soldiers must be arrested when they are dispatched. ”

"Yes, Commander." Sanyu Zhu answered, and immediately asked the soldiers to search the whole process, as long as it was the remnants of the merchant council, they would be arrested and interrogated.
