Chapter 575 Dusk(1/2)
"Steinberg called the bridge, Bond is dead, Bond is dead!"
Just like the plot in the movie, after Yang Jianhua was captured by Stambo, Bond was also besieged by his men.
It's just that Bond was a cunning person and used the corpse to make a fuss, making Stambaugh think that he had hit Bond. After watching him fall into the sea, he did not verify it and directly reported the good news to Carver.
He must not have known that Bond took the opportunity to sneak into the invisible ship and prepare to capture the thief first and capture the king, Carver, the big villain.
"Very good!"
Carver was very happy when he heard Steinberg say that Bond was dead, and ordered him to destroy and throw away all the time bombs installed by Bond and others, and also asked people to escort Yang Jianhua over.
It is too boring for one person to enjoy the joy of success. More people should know about it.
"Boss, you are sure to bring her up." Seeing that Carver was a little distracted, his subordinates reminded that Yang Jianhua was the most outstanding agent in the mainland after all, and even if he was caught, he might have the means to turn the tables.
Just like the last time in the building in Hanoi, Carver and Bond were made disgraced.
"This is my business. Don't interfere. At important moments, I hope more viewers will come to appreciate it." Carver, who was already drifting, didn't care about his younger brother's thoughts at all.
Seeing being pressed over, Yang Jianhua took the initiative and asked, "Ms. Yang, welcome here. Did you know that your country's planes have already been dispatched, and many of them can reach the sky above the task force."
"My leaders know your existence, and they are looking for you to punish you." Looking at the somewhat crazy Carver, Yang Jianjun's tone was neither humble nor overbearing.
"You're looking for me. I'm glad you said that, Miss Yang." Carver said with a smile, "I'm very worried about my radar. The Flying Leopard fighter jets are heading straight for the task force. They are almost within striking distance. John, there are more.
Long time.”
"We'll be within range in fourteen minutes." Jiao John's men glanced at the radar screen and replied.
"Haha, did you hear that? Miss Yang, even if they are looking for me, how can they find me in just fourteen minutes?" Carver spread his hands and said arrogantly:
"Not to mention that we are on a stealth ship now. They can't see me or you at all. You can only watch things turn to the worst and countless people die."
"Asshole, I'm going to kick you to death." Yang Jianhua's loyalty to the country is unquestionable, even more than his own life. When he thinks of countless compatriots dying in the war because of his incompetence, he can't help but take action.
It's a pity that Stan Bo was always watching her from the side, and women are naturally not as strong as men. Yang Jianhua not only failed to hit Carver, but was also humiliated by his Kung Fu.
Meanwhile, London!
Mrs. M rushed into the Prime Minister's official residence with the latest information sent by Bond, and reported directly to the boss: "007 has sent information, and it has been determined that the existence of the invisible ship is owned by forces headed by Carver.
Now, the stealth ship is causing trouble between the fleets of our two countries, and the missile attack not long ago was caused by the stealth ship."
"Is this information true?" The boss asked after looking at the information handed over by Mrs. M.
"It's true. This information was confirmed by intelligence personnel from the mainland, and the task force was asked to search for a stealth ship that is almost undetectable by radar."
"Notify the commander of the task force immediately. No fire is allowed without orders." The boss, who was overwhelmed by the news that the task force's flagship was attacked by a missile, almost felt bitter when he saw the information sent by Mrs. M.
Rabbit is not a South American eagle. With the strength of the task force, it is impossible to achieve anything. If it were not for the sake of the empire on which the sun never sets, he would not send a fleet to the East to provoke because of the sinking of a warship.
This is no longer the 1860s. At that time, the Eagle Country, as the first country to complete the first industrial revolution, not only became the biggest beneficiary, but also had the power to rule the world.
Under the overwhelming power, the Eagle Nation established countless colonies on all continents, became a "world overlord", and was known as the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, while traditional maritime colonial powers such as Spain and the Netherlands gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
At its peak, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets controlled the Indian Peninsula, half of Africa, half of North America and all of Oceania. It was a superpower with a total area of more than 30 million square kilometers.
In history, only the Yuan Empire, which included the four great khanates, could rival this.
The people of the Eagle Country who have accomplished the feat of never setting the sun are naturally very proud. A passage from an Eagle Country economist in the mid-19th century expresses this British mentality very well.
Oceania has our ranches, Argentina and North America have our cattle, Peru sends its silver, South Africa and Australia gold flows to London, India and China grow our tea, and our coffee, sugar and spice plantations spread across the East.
Indian Islands.
Although the young Yingjiang achieved independence by beating the shit out of the Yingguo people in 1783, the subsequent large-scale colonial expansion in other areas made the proud Chinese people still have the capital to be proud of.
This long-term powerful empire not only made the people of Eagle Country feel "superior" to others, but also affected many foreigners.
The most typical example is.
Even though Eagle Country declined and became Eagle Sauce's younger brother, Eagle Country is still considered to be the representative of gentlemen. Even many Americans will be attracted by the standard London accent and even take the initiative to learn it.
And many people in the Eagle Country still look down on the Americans and think they are uneducated, let alone people from other countries.
But no matter what they think in their hearts, in reality, the people of Eagle Country still have to admit that they are no longer on the same level as the United States. Before the 1990s, they would have to add a furry bear.
Even the most arrogant Eagle Country people would not believe that their country has the ability to compete with the United States and the Soviet Union. They have to admit that after World War II, Eagle Country is no longer the protagonist of the world.
But people's thinking has inertia. Although Yingjiang and Mao Xiong became the world's two-tiered players after World War II, the people of Yingguo who have been the boss for hundreds of years will not immediately think that they can only be the younger brothers.
But reality soon slapped the people of Eagle Country in the face, making them understand that the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets is no longer there, and they can only fight against the Soviet Union by hugging Eagle Sauce's thighs tightly?
The first slap in the face was the division of the world after World War II.
It has to be said that World War II was a very important turning point for Eagle Country. Before the war, Britain could indeed be regarded as the leading power in the world.
The fact that it has dominated the world for a long time has made many people in the Eagle Country have a sense of superiority as "citizens of the Heavenly Kingdom". Even many high-level officials dismiss foreign things and even despise them, which is quite similar to the style of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
.
What's even more frightening is that this habitual contempt is also reflected in their behavior, so that they unconsciously underestimate their opponents strategically and tactically.
So the time has come for the people of Eagle Country to eat the bitter pill.
First, there was the disastrous defeat on the European battlefield. Hundreds of thousands of the Eagle Kingdom's most elite troops, together with troops from Gallic Chicken, the Netherlands and other countries, were defeated miserably by Hans Tiger.
Gallic chicken surrenders!
Netherlands surrenders!
Belgium surrenders!
If Hans Hu's troops hadn't made a mistake at a critical moment, leaving the Dunkirk gap, 230,000 Eagle Country soldiers and over 100,000 French troops would have fled to the Eagle Country homeland.
The Eagle Country Expeditionary Force is about to be completely wiped out on the European continent.
But when the people came back, they didn’t have any equipment.
In order to withdraw as many personnel as possible, the expeditionary force abandoned all heavy equipment on the European continent, causing serious problems in the ground defense of the Eagle Country.
Facing the attack of the Hans Tiger Air Force and the naval blockade, if it were not for the support of the Eagles on the other side of the Atlantic, it would be a matter of time before Germany would defeat them.
There is a popular movie called "Greyhound", which tells the story of this period. In the movie, the story of Eagle Butterfly crossing the Atlantic Ocean to provide aid to the Eagle Country at all costs.
Of course, all this comes at a price.
Although Germany was able to survive with the help of Eagle Sauce and Wooly Bear, the Eagle Country was at the end of its rope.
In order to get more support, Eagle Country mortgaged all its strategic locations on the ocean to Eagle Sauce, so much so that in the Yalta Conference at the end of the war.
Although Churchill, the Prime Minister of Eagle Country, was one of the three giants and negotiated with Mao Xiong and Eagle Sauce to formulate a new post-war world order and distribution of interests, basically no big benefits were gained.
It has been fully revealed.
During this period, although the ordinary people of Eagle Country were still indifferent to the decline of Eagle Country, the ruling class had fully realized that Eagle Country and the United States and the Soviet Union were no longer players on the same level.
Churchill later described in his memoirs his mood and feelings when attending the Yalta Conference - "On one side of me sat a huge Russian bear, on the other side sat a huge bison. In the middle sat a poor little Eagle Country donkey.
.”
Now that the strength is gone, the huge territory cannot be maintained.
After the end of World War II, faced with the surging colonial independence movements in various places, Churchill also tried to persuade the people and cabinet of the Eagle Country to assist Greece, suppress the independence movements in various colonies, and nip the signs of the collapse of the empire in the bud.
.
However, with the current national strength of Eagle Country, it is obvious that it cannot maintain its sphere of influence of 30 million square kilometers.
Therefore, in just ten years after the war, ten colonies including Jordan, New Zealand, Pakistan, India, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka successively became independent countries, leaving the Eagle Country with no place to put its face, and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets existed in name only.
Among them, the most painful thing for the people of Eagle Country is the loss of the Indian subcontinent, but they can't stop it at all.
Because in the reconstruction of the post-war world order, the people of the Eagle Nation are not the leaders, but the Mao Xiong and Eagle Sauce. The things that the Eagle Nation can decide are very limited.
Fortunately, the people of Eagle Country have a strong foundation. Even if they lose most of their territory, the lives of people in Eagle Country have not been greatly affected. As one of the leading countries in the world.
The people of Eagle Country can still run around, dance, and have fun in their free time watching fantasy movies that humiliate the colonies.
In the impression of most people in the Eagle Country, they still live in a great empire.
As owners of many colonies and victors of World War II, their status is equal to that of Eagle Sauce and Mao Xiong.
Unfortunately!
Soon, the people of Eagle Country were slapped in the face.
Because Eagle Country lost control of the Suez Canal.
Everyone must know that the Suez Canal is an important canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. It is one of the most frequently used routes in the world and is known as "a river that can easily support a country."
From the day it opened, the Suez Canal was under the control of the Eagle Country and the Gallic Chicken, earning 3 billion francs for both countries in just a few decades.
Don't think it's a small amount of money.
This was the currency before World War II.
If converted into silver, it would exceed 800 million taels, which is more than the silver required for compensation in the "Xin Chou Treaty" that the Chinese people hated.
This huge income is an important support for the Eagle Kingdom to maintain its imperial glory. Losing the canal is equivalent to the Eagle Kingdom losing a cash cow.
The reason for the loss is very simple!
Egypt is no longer controlled by Eagle Kingdom.
To be continued...
