Chapter 881： Chaos in Central Asia

The latest website: I saw De Luyens, who was sitting by the fireplace, handing a document to Jerome Bonaparte with a solemn expression, and then when Jerome Bonaparte checked the contents of the document, he asked He reports.

"Your Majesty, this is a telegram from our embassy in the Ottoman Empire!" De Luyens said to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte read the contents of the telegram while muttering in a low voice, "Interesting! Post envoy Faroch Khan Amin was in Constantinople with the American ambassador to the Ottoman Carol Spencer. meet!"

Having said that, Jerome Bonaparte raised his head and asked De Luyens seriously: "Can you tell me what happened to the ambassadors of Post? I remember that they were at war with Britain! Hooked up with the United States of America!"

"That's it!" De Lu Yins hurriedly explained to Jerome Bonaparte what had happened recently.

Since the ambitious Qajar dynasty declared war on Herat in October this year and quickly occupied the Herat government in less than two weeks, the Duke of Cambridge, who has been squatting near the Persian Gulf, immediately represented the British government to Qajar. Dynasty declares war.

The speed of its declaration of war was so fast that it directly caught the Qajar dynasty by surprise.

Originally, the Qajar Dynasty thought that it would take at least two or three months for the British Kingdom to react. As a result, the British Kingdom quickly declared war on the Qajar Dynasty in less than a month.

This made some of the original precautions of the Qajar Dynasty to prevent the British attack all turned into waste paper.

(Although it is a piece of waste paper for the Qajar Dynasty to guard against Britain's plan, if Britain follows the Qajar Dynasty's plan, it can be considered a useful waste paper.)

The Qajar Dynasty had no choice but to dispatch some of its soldiers to the southern front in a hurry to resist the attack of the British Kingdom.

However, the Qajar Dynasty still overestimated itself and underestimated the Kingdom of Britain in calculating the strength gap between the enemy and us.

Under the leadership of the Duke of Cambridge, the British fleet in the Persian Gulf quickly began to act. They first launched shelling on the Persian Halke Island with lightning speed. The shelling lasted for nearly 3 or 4 hours. In time, the guards on Halke Island were completely on the verge of collapse for the rounds of artillery hits, and then the "lobster soldiers" who were responsible for the landing quickly dispatched troops to land. @ Essence\/Book Pavilion · No mistake starting~~

Fortunately, there is still a Russian military attache in the Qajar guard force responsible for defending Hark Island. Encouraged by them, the Qajar guard army, whose morale has fallen, launched an attack on the invading British kingdom. Under the not-so-dense firepower of the dynasty, the British lobster soldiers once again used the tactics they had used in the Crimean War. They formed a row to attack the positions garrisoned by the Qajar dynasty. Some soldiers fell, and the soldiers in the back row quickly filled up, without delaying the advance of the troops at all.

In this way, after losing dozens of people in Britain, they quickly approached the defenders of Halk Island. After seeing the tactics of the lobster soldiers, the morale of the defenders of Halk Island collapsed instantly. Drop weapons and surrender to Britain.

Including the Russian military attache, nearly a thousand people were captured by the British Kingdom, and it took less than 6 hours for the British Kingdom to attack and occupy Halke Island.

After the Battle of Harker Island, the Duke of Cambridge did not rest for a moment and quickly ordered the troops to attack again. The second point he was going to attack was the port of Bolsh on the west side of Harker Island.

The Duke of Cambridge, who arrived near the port of Bolshe, once again launched an artillery bombardment on the port of Bolshe, and then used the infantry to conduct a landing operation after the shelling ended.

Under the strong firepower of the British Kingdom, the entire Port of Bolshe only lasted for less than 2 days before declaring its fall. (Historically, the Port of Bolsh has persisted for 5 days, because Britain declared war on the Qajar Dynasty on November 1, and the Qajar Dynasty had more than half a month to deploy the Port of Bolsh.)

Occupying the port of Bolshe, the Duke of Cambridge finally had a foothold in Persia.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the combined number of British troops killed and wounded was less than 200. This impressive record greatly increased the morale and belligerence of the British kingdom.

Many generals started. (This chapter is not over!)

The British army was asked to continue advancing inland, and the Duke of Cambridge followed the advice of the soldiers and continued to attack.

After a day's rest, the troops continued up the Karon River and, in late November, captured Ahvaz.

All the soldiers of the Qajar Dynasty along the way were defeated by the British Kingdom. When the war was here, the Qajar Dynasty no longer had the strength to organize a field army to compete with the British Kingdom.

Except that they transferred their field army, which was occupying the government of Herat, to be tough with Britain.

However, this seems to have no other effect than sending heads to the British Kingdom.

Unable to bear the defeat, the Qajar Dynasty quickly dispatched its soldiers to find a country capable of mediating.

Faroh Khan Amin went to Constantinople to seek help from the consuls of various countries under the order of King Nasser al-Din of the Qajar Dynasty.

Faroh Khan Amin arrived in Constantinople in early December and met with the American ambassador to the Ottomans, Carol Spencer.

…

When De Lu Yins finished talking about the causes and consequences of the current war, Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but ask De Lu Yins: "Minister Lu Yins, where did your information come from! Especially Bolche? The piece of information about Hong Kong and Halk Island is like being there!"

"Your Majesty, this section is actually a part of the deduction between me and the General Staff!" De Luyens replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "The General Staff believes that Britain is most likely to use this tactic!"

"What happened to the captured Russian officer?" Jerome Bonaparte asked again.

"Your Majesty, in fact, these are the contents of the "Times" report!" De Luyens replied again, Jerome Bonaparte.

"The Times! So it is!" Jerome Bonaparte suddenly realized.

If there is any organization in this world that can first understand the movements of the British army, it must be The Times.

Especially after the invention of the telegraph, The Times has a more accurate grasp of the army's movements and the progress of the war than the British War Department.

The bureaucratic system of British characteristics makes them show unprecedented inefficiency when they are not in full-scale war.

De Lu Yinsi and The Times obtained first-line intelligence on Persia, and there was no major problem.

"What's the matter with the communication between the envoy Post and the United States?" Jerome Bonaparte nodded lightly on the document with his hand, and said incredulously: "They won't think that those who only recognize money but not people Cowboys will do justice for them!"

De Luyens responded embarrassedly to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, your guess is correct! Our foreign ministry has also come to the same conclusion!"

"Do those guys really understand the international situation!" Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but continued to complain: "The special envoy of the Qajar Dynasty has pinned his hopes on a country with the least hope!"

"Your Majesty! Perhaps the special envoy of the Qajar dynasty valued the reputation of the United States of America!" De Luins said to Jerome Bonaparte. @ Essence\/Book Pavilion · No mistake starting~~

"The United States of America still has a reputation? Didn't they always play the role of hyenas following us!" Jerome Bonaparte looked even more puzzled, he didn't understand that there was still a country worshipping hyenas these days.

"Precisely because the United States of America is rarely involved in war, they are rated much better in some countries than us and the Kingdom of Great Britain!" De Luiens explained to Jerome Bonaparte, "After all, we and Britain fought side by side in the Crimea some time ago.

In the eyes of others, our two countries remain close and friendly allies! "

Jerome Bonaparte also realized that the 19th century and the 21st century did not change much. In the eyes of some people, the British Kingdom in the 19th century was like the United States of America in the 21st century. All forces are suppressed.

Therefore, on this earth, there are only two states of countries. The first state is a country that is directly controlled by the British Kingdom—colonies and satellite states. The second state is a country that firmly resists the British Kingdom—Russia. (This chapter is not over!)

Empire, United States of America.

Besides, there is no third state in the country.

Therefore, in the hearts of some countries that do not understand diplomacy, the French Empire has transformed into a lackey of the British Kingdom and is not worthy of trust.

"Since that's the case, then we have to worry about what Persia does!" Jerome Bonaparte said to De Lu Yins on the ground, "The ambassador thinks that the United States of America can rescue them, then let him The United States of America is the savior!"

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that the United States of America cannot be an enemy of Britain for the sake of Persia!" De Luyens said to Jerome Bonaparte decisively.

"So what?" asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"The Post ambassador will definitely find us! We should be ready to mediate at any time!" De Luyens responded to Jerome Bonaparte. @ Essence\/Book Pavilion · No mistake starting~~

"Why do we have to mediate? Isn't it bad to let them bite the dog?" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and said to De Lu Yins.

"The Kingdom of Persia must not be an opponent of the Kingdom of Britain! If we are unwilling to help, then Britain will definitely put a strict yoke on the Kingdom of Persia!" De Luiens explained to Jerome Bonaparte, " By then, Britain will have more energy to turn to Europe!".
