Chapter 1375 This is not war, this is peace (first update, please subscribe)
A huge smoke column rose high from the "Sevastopol". At this moment, the 28,000-ton warship was violently lifted out of the sea like a toy, and even the stern turret was lifted.
It was thrown hundreds of meters into the air.
"The Russians are finished... Damn Brits..."
Staring at the sea, Zhang Guoren murmured without even knowing what to say for a while. He once again rejected the suggestion of his subordinates to let him enter the air raid shelter. As the governor of the royal territory of the Persian Gulf, he was completely confused.
Although he had thought that the British might take action, in his opinion, the most the British could do was blockade the port and prohibit the entry and exit of merchant ships to force him to "invite" the Russians to leave, but he did not
, it is unimaginable that the British actually ignored international public laws and directly bombarded the Russian warships parked in Daming Harbor. This is simply...
"Shameless, extremely shameless!"
When Zhang Guoren angrily cursed the shamelessness of the British, the subordinate officer beside him said.
"Sir, we need to report it to the country and go through international arbitration..."
Before the subordinate officer could finish speaking, Zhang Guoren rolled his eyes at him and said.
"There is no such thing as international arbitration. There is no arbitration committee anymore. Now is the time for the cannon to speak. It is war! The empire is going to war with Britain!"
When it came to starting a war, Zhang Guoren felt helpless. He glanced at his harbor. Although the shells did not fall on the shore, what could he do now in the face of this naval battle?
He couldn't do anything...because the empire didn't build a fort in Kuwait Port at all, because it...wasn't needed here.
If the British enter Kuwait City, Zhang Guoren will have to consider this issue now. In the past, he did not need to consider it at all, because this royal territory is backed by the French Basra Colony and the Governor-General of Saint-Eugène.
But now, he must consider the defense issues here. Staring at the "Sevastopol" that was rapidly sinking into the sea, Zhang Guoren's eyes lit up and he said to himself,
"Maybe these Russian warships can be used as waste. After they are sunk by the British, divers can be sent to explore their turrets. These are several dozen-inch twin cannons. If they are installed on
This, then we are impregnable..."
It has to be said that Zhang Guoren, as a feudal official, can also see opportunities in crises, at least the benefits to himself. As for the life and death of the Russians... it has nothing to do with him. The most important thing is those turrets.
A turret is a good thing worth millions of dollars. It would be a waste if it just sank in the sea.
As for divers and salvage companies, they can be hired from China!
"These British guys, aren't they bullying others? How can they bully the few with more people? Even in war, they don't bring it..."
But looking at the British warships that swarmed up to attack the Russians, Zhang Guoren still couldn't help but curse.
"The war... the damn British guys ruined my good life..."
Zhang Guoren was not the only one whose good days were broken!
In fact, along with the rumbling sound of gunfire in Kuwait Port, being beaten meant that the whole country was in peace!
Even the peaceful era of the entire world has been broken!
…
finally come!
In the royal study, Emperor Zhu Da looked at the report in front of him. He first took out a cigar from the cigar box, cut off the butt of the cigar, lit it, took a silent puff, and after exhaling the smoke, said.
"What are our casualties?"
"Your Majesty, when the British bombarded the port, one of the shells fell in the city. According to current statistics, there were about 136 casualties, including 89 deaths..."
Although Qian Degong's tone is serious, what is this in this incident?
It’s just numbers!
All casualties in war are just numbers.
And all this is just the beginning.
"Damn Brits!"
Emperor Zhu Da frowned.
"Invading my country and killing my compatriots, do you really think we won't take revenge?"
"Your Majesty, the British Ambassador expressed his willingness to negotiate with our country on the "Kuwait Port Incident" to discuss relevant matters to deal with this matter."
Zhuge Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, specifically emphasized this when referring to the British Ambassador’s representations.
"They are willing to pay the highest compensation for damages and end this incident peacefully!"
"They are delusional!"
Emperor Zhu Da sneered.
"When the British opened fire, they never thought about being friendly with us. Even negotiations would have no results. As for compensation for losses. How much can they pay? One hundred thousand? One million? Even ten million,
That does nothing to help the situation. As far as the empire is concerned, what we have lost in this matter is not only the lives of the imperial subjects, but more importantly - the dignity of the empire. What they are challenging is the dignity of the empire. If we allow them to do this
Bullying without any reaction, then... where is the dignity of the empire?"
When Emperor Zhu Da said these words, he sighed helplessly in his heart.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
For the empire, as long as the Ming Empire wanted to maintain its existence, it had to fulfill its mission. What was the most important point in the empire's mission?
It’s “peace under empire”!
For the Roman Empire, it was to achieve and ensure "Pax Romana" in the Mediterranean and surrounding areas.
For the Chinese Empire, it was to maintain and maintain the "Celestial Order" around the empire.
For the British Empire, it was to maintain the "world order" they established after Nelson.
It is for this reason that the empire does not tolerate any challenge, even if it comes from another powerful empire.
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Since the dignity of the empire has been damaged, then we must use war to let others understand that the empire cannot be challenged, and it cannot be offended either! For any offense, the empire will give a firm response
fight back!"
His Majesty's words made everyone's hearts tremble slightly. In fact, they were not surprised by all this. After all, what the empire had always lacked was a reason to join the war, and now the British... they have taken it with both hands.
Reasons were given.
Faced with such an opportunity, how could the empire miss it?
Of course, all this is unknown to the public, and the whole world will only see that the empire is forced to fight back!
After saying these words, Emperor Zhu thought for a while and said:
"This is not war! This is peace - the lasting peace of mankind. After all this is over... the war will cease and the once rude world will gradually become peaceful."
