Chapter 465 Fire!
Emperor Zhu has always been a series of pitfalls, and they are all naked pitfalls.
For example, Emperor Zhu planned to hold a joint maritime military exercise by Ottomans - Emperor Zhu's real purpose was to bring the Ottoman navy to ambush the English fleet supporting the British East India Company. As for intimidation of Mahmoud II and the Ottoman navy, they could only be considered as a matter of grabbing rabbits and fighting for rabbits.
Moreover, Emperor Zhu was not worried that Mahmoud II and Alexander would jump out of the pit.
Whether it was Mahmoud II, Alexander, George III, or Franz II, they all knew very well that the alliance between the Ottomans and Tsarist Russia, England, and the Habsburgs was because of their interests, which were loose and could not be placed on the surface, and they were also full of suspicion and calculations. As long as there were sufficient interests or threats, their so-called allies could be rebelled at any time and were unreliable.
As long as the Ottoman Navy followed the Ming Dynasty's fleet to ambush the English fleet, no matter how Mahmoud II explained, George III could never believe everything Mahmoud II said, and Alexander and Franz II would no longer believe it.
Because the losses of the English fleet were real, George III had to find a sufficient reason for the losses of the fleet, and Alexander and Franz II were simply suspicious.
After carefully planning the plan to cheat people, Emperor Zhu suddenly ordered: "Send people to send a message to the Nanyang Fleet, and ask them to divide a fleet to ambush in Male, and immediately cut off the English fleet's retreat after the English fleet that supported the East India Company arrived in Sri Lanka."
After Emperor Zhu said this, Zhu Jianying suddenly felt a little confused.
According to Emperor Zhu's original plan, the Emperor's fleet, when they ambush the English fleet with the Ottoman Navy, they should "accidentally" let an English warship run away, and the news of the joint military exercise between the Ming and the Ottomans back to Europe.
If nothing unexpected happens, the remaining English fleet should be wiped out in the waters near Cape Asai.
So, Emperor Zhu now said that there would be a fleet of England supporting the East India Company to reach Sri Lanka?
After thinking about it, Zhu Jianying asked directly: "I heard that you mean that you plan to let go of the English fleet and let them go to Sri Lanka to support the East India Company?"
Emperor Zhu smiled and nodded, and asked back, "Then you might as well guess why we did this?"
Zhu Jianying shook her head slightly and said, "I can't guess what you think. You can't just want to see the excitement of the English fleet and the East India Company, right?"
Emperor Zhu laughed and said, "As the saying goes, killing people, you must kill your heart - England's maritime military strength is not too weak. Although the barbarians of the East India Company are afraid of our Ming Dynasty, they may not have no luck in their hearts."
"So, our plan is to first defeat the English fleet that supports the East India Company, wait until they arrive in Sri Lanka, and wait until the East India Company barbarians can see the English fleet before completely destroying them, and completely cut off their hopes when the barbarians think they can escape."
"In this way, even if the East India Company entrenched in Sri Lanka has any remnants, they will not have the idea of resisting, so they will naturally be able to let our Ming Dynasty pinch it flat and rub it around."
...
When Emperor Zhu was still calculating how to use the Ottoman Navy to disagree with the alliance between the Ottoman and Shagee and other countries, and how to use the English fleet to complete the plan to kill the East India Company, Howard, Little Wah and Marshall, who were far away in Sri Lanka, were already in despair.
Yes, before they could wait until Emperor Zhu's plan was fully implemented, and before they could see the English fleet being defeated, Howard and others were already desperate.
As Emperor Zhu analyzed, the short sluts in Japan are really crazy - as long as someone shouts "For His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, on-board", the short sluts in Japan will sacrifice to launch a charge.
The short and unnatural sluts don't care about their own life and death, while the soldiers of the East India Company who are for money care about their own life and death.
As the saying goes, those who are arrogant are afraid of being stunned, those who are afraid of being desperate. Those short-lived men who are afraid of being desperate will naturally press the soldiers of the East India Company who are afraid of being afraid of being dead and rubbish them on the ground.
In just over a dozen days, the East India Company had lost most of its defense. Even if Howard and others distributed the firearms to the miners, and promised them a heavy reward, it would be useless.
It’s not that Howard and the others really expect the Indian miners to defeat the Japanese short-lived men. For Howard and the others, as long as those Indian miners can hold back the short-lived men in our country, it is a great achievement.
After all, they are tens of thousands of miners, not tens of thousands of pigs. Even if they are allowed to catch them, they have to catch them for a while, right?
However, Howard and the others did not expect how bad the miners were. Most of the miners recruited by the East India Company to Sri Lanka were the third brothers of India, and the third brothers always liked to engage in non-violent and non-cooperation.
When the East India Company distributed weapons to the Indian miners, the first choice of those Indian miners was not to fight to the death with the dwarf, but to run away directly during the war or simply throw down the weapons and start sitting quietly, allowing the dwarfs to divide, surround and capture them.
In other words, the East India Company smashed a lot of weapons on the bodies of the Indian miners, but in the end they all made the short men in Japan.
What happened next made Howard and Little Lai Shi and the others so angry that they vomited blood.
Facing the Japanese slaves' timid Tianzhu miners were recruited by Japanese slaves and turned to attack the East India Company, they became very brave. Although they could not be said to be brave enough to fight, they did not do anything to sit still.
Faced with such a strange situation, Howard was going crazy: "Who can tell me what the hell is going on with those damn diapers? They always flee and surrender when they ask them to fight with the sluts. Why do they dare to rush forward when they turn around and fight with us?"
After Howard asked this, a strange silence suddenly fell into the temporary conference room.
Don’t say howard can’t figure out why, Xiao Hua Lai and Marshall can’t figure out why such a strange situation happened.
Xiao Hua Lai said with a gloomy expression: "What benefits can those short men promise to give them? Freedom or money? We have promised them these things before, and the bounty is still very high."
Marshall couldn't help but agree, "We even promised them that when they defeated the short men, they would join England and make them a member of the civilized world. But even so, their performance was still very bad, but they performed very well under the short men's hands...well, heroic."
Although the words "heroic" are used to describe the performance of miners, Marshall now doesn't care about any suitable words.
After a slight sigh, Marshall continued: "Mr. Howard is not a good time to study the Indian miners-I have to remind you that we have lost too many positions. If reinforcements cannot arrive in Sri Lanka within half a month, we are afraid that we will completely lose our last position. At that time, we will have to surrender to those short men, or disperse them, and find ways to run away."
Howard's face suddenly became gloomy.
As Marshall said, the East India Company has lost too many positions, and only a few positions are left in its hands.
More importantly, no one knows how long the remaining few positions can last. Although Marshall's meaning can last for about half a month, Howard and Xiaohua both knew in their hearts that the so-called half a month was completely unrestrained.
If the remaining few positions could last for half a month, then the East India Company would not have been able to lose again and again when fighting against the short men at the beginning.
After a long silence, Howard spoke, "Don't worry, we have already sent the news back to England early, and reinforcements will definitely arrive within half a month."
However, Xiao Hua Lai snorted disapprovingly and said, "What about this half month? We have tried many methods, including asking for help from the Ming Dynasty's military base and organizing miners. The final result was a defeat and a defeat. Who can guarantee that we can hold on for another half month now?"
As Xiao Hua's words fell, Howard's face suddenly changed and he shouted: "Xiao Hua's words, what are you saying? What do you want to express?"
Xiao Hua said with a sneer: "What can I say? What can I express? In fact, we all know that with the strength of our hands, it is impossible for us to hold on for another half a month, and the English fleet cannot reach Sri Lanka within half a month."
Howard snorted coldly and said, "What? Xiao Hua, you are questioning the strength of the English Navy!"
Xiao Hua clasped his lips and said disdainfully: "Do I still need to question this? His Majesty George III's inexplicable decision to attack France. How much damage did the English Navy suffer from this?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Hualai said quickly: "We all know that the reason why those short-skinned men suddenly went crazy was completely instructed by the Ming people behind the scenes! So, what can we do if England sent a support fleet? Could it be that the Ming people would not be prepared in advance? The English fleet can still defeat the Ming people's fleet?"
Howard and Marshall were immediately speechless. It was not until after a long time that Howard asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"
Xiao Hua took a deep breath and said, "My idea is to give up Sri Lanka! We still have several warships in our hands, which is enough for us to leave Sri Lanka with the remaining soldiers. Whether we choose to return to Europa or simply find a place without the Ming Navy to be a pirate, it is much better than staying in Sri Lanka and waiting to die!"
Howard quietly looked at Leslie Xiaohua and Marshall, but saw Leslie Xiaohua and Marshall's faces full of decay, but his eyes were full of hope.
Howard knew very well that Little Wah and Marshall were already scared by the crazy short sluts, and they did not want to stay in Sri Lanka to face the crazy short sluts.
Including Howard himself, he also doesn't want to stay in Sri Lanka and wait for death.
However, what disappointed Xiao Hua and Marshall was that Howard did not agree with Xiao Hua's proposal, but said after sighing: "Although we still have warships, what about the supplies? Those short men will not give us a chance to evacuate. Also, in this world, where does the Ming people have no military base?"
Xiao Hua was excited when he came to Squad and shouted: "Then we can't continue to stay here and wait for death! If it really doesn't work, we can surrender to the Chennai military base in Ming Dynasty! Do you understand surrender? Just raise your hands and we will be safe!"
Seeing that Xiao Hua's arrival gradually fell into madness, Howard's heart sank, and then he looked at Marshall.
What made Howard desperate was that Marshall was nodding!
Marshall whispered: "We surrendered to preserve the fire of the East India Company, which is not shameful - especially since the English navy has suffered a heavy blow, it is impossible for them to send many reinforcements to support us."
Howard looked at Marshall, then at Xiao Hua's squad, and then at his broken arm. Howard finally found out in despair that he actually wanted to surrender in his heart!
After laughing loudly, Howard shook his head slightly and said to Xiaohua Rays and Marshall: "From now on, I will step down as general manager of East India Company. You two will discuss who will take over."
Marshall was stunned and asked, "Mr. Howard?"
Howard raised his broken arm and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I want to surrender, too, but the pride of the knights tells me that I should not surrender to the Ming people."
Xiao Hualais snorted coldly and said, "So, does Mr. Howard plan to stay in Sri Lanka and continue to fight with those short men to the end? Or is he going to leave Sri Lanka and find a place without a Ming-National Military Base to be a pirate?"
Howard naturally heard the ridicule in Xiaohua's words. After all, Howard had rejected the proposal to evacuate Sri Lanka to be a pirate. If he said he would run away to be a pirate now, wouldn't he beating himself in the face?
After shaking his head slightly, the expression on Howard's face became very calm: "I plan to end my life and retain my dignity - don't worry, I don't mean to laugh at you. This is just my last resistance to fate as a loser."
Howard left uneasy.
When Howard ended his life, Mahmoud II had already joined the Ming Emperor with the Ottoman Navy and the Imperial Guards.
What no one expected was that the Ottoman Imperial Guards would infiltrate the Ottoman Navy, and then chose to open the film when the fleets of both sides were about to come into contact with each other!
