Become a feudal king from today
Chapter 1095 Undercurrent
India, Calcutta.
When Chang Wei led the army to conquer the Tianshan Mountains westward.
The Western-Turkish coalition navy is holding a large-scale exercise off the coast of Kolkata.
The purpose is to allow the navies of various countries to form a tacit understanding when fighting at sea.
The reason why this exercise was held was because the second batch of reinforcements from the Western-Turkish coalition arrived half a month ago.
This brings the scale of the Western-Turkish Allied Forces' warships in Tianzhu to 580 warships.
These included 72 steamships and 408 sailing warships.
In addition to the warships lost in previous battles with the Dasong Navy, they basically committed half of their respective countries' warships to the Eastern battlefield. .
If they still fail to win this naval battle, it will mean that they will no longer be able to organize a third expedition.
As for the army, a total of 250,000 people were dispatched this time, and all of them have arrived.
Combined with the remaining troops in Tianzhu, they in the west have accumulated an army of 400,000 in Tianzhu.
Of course, they also want to send more warships and troops, but this is already the limit of their troop projection, and it consumes countless material and manpower.
If they still cannot defeat Da Song's invasion of Tianzhu this time, they will no longer be able to organize a third expedition.
"So many warships can only be seen when the Queen inspects the navy."
On the coast, Harriman, Wesley, and Bolt each held telescopes and watched the battleships practicing the array at sea.
At this time, Harriman couldn't help but sigh.
Wesley and Bolt nodded.
That moment is a moment worthy of every British person being proud of.
Because it symbolizes Britain's naval strength that surpasses the rest of the West.
The strength of the navy means a country's control of the ocean.
But they didn't expect that one day they would suffer such humiliation in Dongtu.
Let their British majesty fall to pieces.
"There are also these 400,000 troops. When Britain formed a coalition to fight against the Franks, the number at its highest was only 700,000." Bolt lowered his voice to prevent Gao Leer from hearing, lest they be unhappy.
"Such a naval battleship and army size are enough to destroy a country in the West. This time we must seize the opportunity to destroy Dasong." Wesley almost gritted his teeth.
He now hates Dasong to death, and he also hates Dasong Emperor Zhao Xu to death.
It was this Eastern Land country and the emperor who led this country that made him lose face time and time again.
Even his personal abilities were questioned.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Queen to send Harriman to Tianzhu.
If he can't make a turnaround this time, his military career will basically be over.
"We will definitely win." Harriman patted Wesley on the shoulder and comforted, "But we can no longer underestimate the Dasong army as we did before. One thing we need to admit is that the Dasong army is more difficult to deal with than we thought. , even stronger than us.”
After a pause, he continued, "So, I think that in the next war, we must try our best to weaken the opponent's advantages of guns and artillery, so that we can win. To put it simply, we must learn to fight like a weak against a strong. Use your brain more and become as cunning as a fox."
"Are you saying I'm stupid? Harriman." Wesley's face suddenly became embarrassed and he threw Harriman's hand away.
"Hahaha..." Harriman laughed, "I don't blame you. At least you let us understand the true strength of Dasong's army. This is already a big contribution."
Wesley snorted when he heard this, "While you can laugh now, just laugh a little longer. When you really fight against Dasong's army, you will understand why I failed. Before that, I will be a qualified "
When Harriman arrived, he also brought a letter of appointment from the Queen.
Command of the army fell into Harriman's hands, and he was responsible for assisting Harriman.
"Okay, okay, don't forget our mission. If we lose this war, none of us will have a good life, so we should put the quarrel after victory." Bolt interjected.
Harriman and Wesley looked at each other and nodded.
Then he looked towards the wilderness east of the port.
There, army soldiers from various countries are also conducting joint exercises to hone their tacit understanding.
The content of the exercise basically followed the offensive method of the Dasong Army.
In response to the characteristics of Dasong's army's offensive, they conducted many response drills.
I hope that by then we can reduce casualties on the battlefield, thwart the attack of Dasong's army, and even launch a counterattack to defeat Dasong's army in one fell swoop.
"By the way, how is the situation of the Tusman army?" Harriman thought of something and looked at Bolt.
This time they spent a lot of money to get Tusman to participate in the war. They must not let the Tusman Empire take advantage of it and do nothing.
Previously, although the Tusman Empire deployed troops on the Tianzhu border and made a gesture of supporting them, in fact it was just a show.
Before they get real benefits, they still refuse to work hard.
At present, handing over the Tianshan area to Tusman is one of the benefits they promised.
There is also a promise that their Western Turks will provide muskets, artillery and steam engines to the Tusman Empire to help the Tusman Empire build a military factory to produce rifled guns and artillery.
They would never have agreed to this matter before.
Because the expanding Tusman Empire is not in the interest of their western territories.
After all, their western soil also borders Tusman.
But Britain has always pursued an offshore balancing policy.
Now that Dasong is rising, they need to support Tusman and make him stronger. At the same time, they deliberately create conflicts between Tusman and Dasong, making them hostile to each other and consuming each other.
If the plan goes well, their support of muskets and artillery and helping them build arsenals will seem insignificant.
"They have already tasted the sweetness." Bolt said, "The muskets and artillery we support have been delivered to them. Although the number is not large, it is enough to make them excited."
"In that case, they will fulfill their promise, right?" Harriman asked.
"Of course, I just received a letter from Grand Duke Falam today. He has finally promised that if we encounter a crisis in Tianzhu, his army will enter Tianzhu at any time to support us." Bolt said.
Harriman nodded.
In his eyes, the Tusman Empire was still a feudal slave state.
The entire country was ruled by the supreme ruler Ankh and his vassal princes.
Each Grand Duke was responsible for governing an area and had an army under his command.
This Faram is one of the most powerful grand dukes under the current Ankh of the Tusman Empire, with an army of 200,000.
His army consisted of many slave soldiers.
These slave soldiers were trafficked from various places since they were children and received military training. They were cold killing machines.
If it weren't for the fact that Xitu's muskets and artillery were much better than those of Tusman, this Tusman Empire would really be worth fearing.
For this reason, they were very cautious when arming Tusman.
During the years of its confrontation with the Rus, they provided only limited support.
If it weren't for Da Song, they really wouldn't have opened such a big hole.
