Become a feudal king from today
Chapter 789 Peacemaking
Calcutta.
The seat of the British Governor-General in Tianzhu.
At this moment, Governor Bolt, who was wearing a black tuxedo, was drinking red wine and chatting with Markvin, the Frankish governor of Cochin, in the garden courtyard of his home.
Two Tianzhu girls were waiting beside them, and they would be served with red wine from time to time.
In the garden, the white housekeeper was leading the Tianzhu servants to prune the flower branches.
"Governor Bolt, if it weren't for these Tianzhu servants, I almost thought I was in Britain." Taking a sip of red wine, Macvin shook the glass gently, feeling envious.
In the Western Territory, no country does not envy Tianzhu under British control.
In fact, Britain also regards Tianzhu as a taboo that cannot be touched by others.
Tianzhu has dozens of kingdoms and a population of more than 100 million.
What an enviable huge market this is.
It is precisely because of Tianzhu that Britain has a place to digest its excess industrial products.
In fact, Britain has been blocking the Ross Kingdom at every turn in recent years because it is worried that the Ross Kingdom, which has expanded its power to the Middle East, will extend its evil hand to Tianzhu.
It can be seen that Britain attaches great importance to Tianzhu.
"No, this is Britain, one of the territories where the sun never sets." Bolt straightened up and emphasized.
In these years, Calcutta had railway tracks and steam locomotives, as well as a steam industry, and Britain invested heavily.
Tianzhu is already an indispensable part of Britain, otherwise Britain will suffer heavy losses.
This was one of the reasons why he was so nervous when the British fleet in Japan was completely wiped out.
A demon has risen in the east, and if it is allowed to wreak havoc, Tianzhu will be the most direct threat.
Because of this, after inviting Macvin to Calcutta for the first time, he invited Macvin to Calcutta for the second time to deepen their contacts.
As the governor of Tianzhu, he is actually responsible for all affairs of Tianzhu and Eastern Territory. In the face of emergencies, he has the right to take all military and diplomatic measures.
In addition to inviting Markvin, during this period, he also discussed the situation in the Eastern Territory with the Governor of Franz Feiwen and the Governor of Sterdam Therem.
He was shocked by the news that the British fleet had been annihilated by King Yan's fleet.
For him, he must integrate all the forces of the Western Territory countries in the Eastern Territory to deal with the rise of King Yan in the north of Dasong.
To this end, based on the intelligence provided by Japan, he even sent people to Tubo to try to get in touch with Beidi and Ivan, the Russian consul in Beidi.
In short, before Parliament can make a decision, he must ensure the security of Britain's eastern colonies.
And strengthen the role of the Eastern Tu Alliance to deal with this King of Yan.
"It's just that this pearl is in danger now, just like your Frankish pearl, Jiaozhi." Bolt sighed, and then involved Jiaozhi.
Sure enough, Mark Wen's expression darkened.
Back then, after the independence of Sam State, it was ready to drive away the Western Territory forces from the New World.
One can imagine what this King of Yan will do after he sings the praises of unification.
After all, this King of Yan has already reached out to Japan.
Moreover, various intelligence shows that this King of Yan is different from any traditional Eastern dignitary.
He built a huge fleet and obviously had the ambition to compete with them in the Western Territory for their sphere of influence.
It was this feeling that made him decide to accept Bolt's request.
Britain didn't want to lose Tianzhu, and they didn't want to lose Cochin.
In addition, there is another point. Britain shared with him the secret of a musket that could subvert the current way of warfare.
This secret was enough to make him tempted and Frank to cooperate with Britain's actions in the East.
"You don't need to remind me deliberately, of course I remember this." Mark Wen said.
Bolt chuckled twice and thought of something. He said: "By the way, I have an idea. I plan to send an envoy to Yanzhou to establish diplomatic relations with King Yan. Do you Frank want to participate?"
"Diplomatic exchanges? Are you frightened by the indigenous people in Dasong and are you ready to surrender to them?" Mark Wen joked.
In fact, he guessed Bolt's thoughts and already agreed in his heart.
In the past two to three hundred years, they have conquered almost the whole world, relying not only on guns and cannons, but also on being as cunning as foxes.
Bolt lay back on the chair and smiled, "This is just a delaying tactic to delay the direct conflict between us and King Yan, and also to understand our opponent's trump card, pretend to seek peace, and confuse King Yan. "
The British fleet in the East is finished, and it will take time to dispatch a new fleet from the mainland.
During this period, he did not want King Yan's fleet to arrive in Tianzhu and harm Britain's trade.
As for sending envoys, several months would pass by this time, which would buy them a lot of time.
However, this was obviously not enough, so he said to Mark Wen: "But before that, I also hope that your Frankish navy will ensure the safety of the Malacca Strait. Stanton also agreed, and they will assist you. As for the Frankish navy, It seems that he is not willing to get involved in the conflict with King Yan."
Hearing this, Mark Wen snorted coldly, "It's not up to him. As long as Britain and our Franks unite to put pressure on Franco, we are not afraid that they will not cooperate."
Malacca is an important passage from Tianzhu Sea to Dongtu Sea.
The strait is now under British control.
There are forts and garrisons on both sides of the strait.
The Franks had six steamships and eight sailing warships in Cochin.
Relying on Britain's fortifications and Sterling's fleet, they were able to prevent the passage of King Yan's fleet.
After saying this, what did Macvin think of, "By the way, don't forget your promise to provide rifles and ammunition to my Frankish army in Cochin."
In the East, only Britain has the ability to produce muskets and artillery.
Although they have mastered the secret of the Great Song Musket, the British want their Franks to work together to defeat the King of Yan's army just like they formed a coalition to defeat the Russians in the West.
They have to take on more responsibilities.
"You don't have to worry about that. When the factory machinery in Tianzhu turns, the rifled guns will flow out like running water." Bolt smiled.
Wolfe can't come back, but the bullets he got from Sam are back.
After some experiments, they discovered the secret of tapered bullets.
This shocked them.
He naturally wanted to hide this secret, but he knew that this secret could not be hidden after all.
Instead of hiding it, it is better to use it to exchange interests with Frank and show your sincerity.
In fact, his decision was the right one.
Now they have Frank's support.
The matter was agreed upon, and three days later, a British merchant ship sailed for Dasong.
They were going to Yanzhou to try to establish diplomatic relations with King Yan.
