Iron Dynasty

Chapter 1041: Calcutta

At the Dutch Embassy, ​​Rod looked palely at the soldiers of the Chinese Empire with live ammunition. Ten minutes ago these soldiers were guards of the Dutch Embassy, ​​and in a blink of an eye they became the ones who expelled them.

"I want to see your Majesty. I don't know the embassy staff about this matter. I hope the Empire can let us return to the Netherlands safely."

Rhodes was in a bad mood. He almost had the urge to kill him after learning that Eric had attacked the garrison in Geranj.

Now he misses Blake's time as governor very much, which was also the honeymoon period between the Netherlands and the country at that time.

But now everything is ruined by those stupid politicians.

Tang Wenjie was ordered to personally expel the personnel of the Dutch embassy. He shook his head, "The emperor is very disappointed with your country now. From the emperor's point of view, you are not a trustworthy ally, Rod, you should leave with you. Both countries Since the empire has chosen to expel you, naturally it will not secretly murder you again."

Rod sighed deeply. He could imagine how angry Xiao Ming was now. After all, for an emperor like Xiao Ming, it is no longer easy to tolerate a Western country's colony in such a large area in Asia.

And now the group of people in Congress succeeded in giving him an excuse.

"Dad, I don't want to go back to the Netherlands. Compared to Qingzhou, the Netherlands is like a country." Rod's youngest daughter, Mandy, who is only six years old, said aggrievedly.

Rod's wife hugged her daughter and looked at Rod with a little sadness. It is impossible for humans to find a better life.

During their time in Qingzhou, they had become accustomed to the convenience brought by electricity, so when they thought of using whale oil for lighting again, they were very uncomfortable.

"My daughter, even if the Netherlands is a country, that is our country." Rod said sadly, even though he didn't want to see the Chinese Empire and the Dutch fight each other.

But it does happen now.

Mandy heard his father's words and couldn't help crying.

Tang Wenjie's expression remained unchanged. As a diplomat, he knew very well that this was what a diplomat should bear.

If one day he is sent to another country, when he is expelled, his choice is probably not much different from that of Rhodes. After all, their purpose in a foreign country is still to serve their own country.

"It's getting late, and the locomotive to Dengzhou will leave soon. I hope you won't delay any longer." Tang Wenjie reminded again.

Rod nodded helplessly. He and a group of Dutch diplomats left with their luggage under the guard of the soldiers.

In the Prussian Embassy not far from the Dutch Embassy, ​​the embassy staff who were working stopped their work and looked at the leaving Dutchman through the glass window.

A diplomat worried: "God bless us Prussia will not have the same fate as the Netherlands."

"Our purpose here is to prevent the tragedy of the Dutch from happening to us, so it is very important to use the technology of the Chinese Empire to unify the German Federation."

The crowd turned their heads and found that their ambassador Bossi did not know when he appeared in front of them.

"Is the news confirmed?" a diplomat asked.

"I'm sure, the Dutch attacked the imperial soldiers in Geranj, and the war broke out." Bossi replied.

He just returned from the foreign affairs office of the empire.

"The sorrowful Dutch, they were hurt by the joint efforts of Britain and France. When they are completely driven out of Asia, they will understand that the Netherlands cannot get any benefit from Britain and France."

Another person said.

Bossi nodded, "Now I am very worried that Britain and France will put pressure on Prussia, hoping that the king can make a wise decision."

"The Chinese Empire has taught us the principles of conquering rifles and exploding bullets. If they want war, we can accompany them at any time."

"Yes, they have been preventing the unification of the German Confederation over the years. If they provoke us, we will give them a bit of color."

"..."

The atmosphere in the embassy suddenly became enthusiastic because of this problem, and there was a smile on Bossi’s face. This is the mental state of every Prussian now.

Once they are ready, the German Federation will regain its glory.

...

Kolkata.

This is the headquarters of the British East India Company at the mouth of the Ganges in the Bay of Bengal.

In 1643, the East India Company bought Calcutta from the Bengal state of India. Although the village of Kolkata was small at that time, it was very useful.

Because the surrounding area of ​​Kolkata is rich in rice and jute, coupled with the crisscrossing rivers, the plain is endless, and it is a very suitable land for cultivation.

After discovering this, the East India Company set up a trading headquarters here, and continuously transported Indian food and industrial raw materials back to the UK, and obtained huge profits from it.

These huge profits also made the East India Company stronger and stronger. Following that, the British East India Company successively occupied Madras and Mumbai, establishing three jurisdictions here.

Each jurisdiction has a governor, and through these three places, it cannibalize India. In the end, the seven-year war defeated the declining Minfan Empire and completely controlled India.

Britain also made a lot of money on the battlefield. When they invaded the treasury of the Min Fan Empire, the looted gold and silver jewelry was equivalent to 50 million pounds.

This figure is only the part turned over to the British government, and it is said that there are more wealth that has been stuffed into their own pockets by individuals.

At the same time, the war initiated by the East India Company made the East India Company itself a giant.

"Governor Nicholas~www.ltnovel.com~ The Chinese Empire has breached Newland, we got the news that he was too late."

Nicholas in the governor's office was carefully studying a ruby ​​when Butlin appeared in front of him in a red uniform.

Nicholas raised his head, he showed a look of dissatisfaction, "Butlin, you are always so disappointed. Every time you come, you will bring bad news to me."

While talking, Nicholas put the ruby ​​into his jewelry box, which was just given to him by a prince of an Indian prince.

"I'm very sorry, but we probably don't have much time. The Chinese Empire is moving too fast. I am afraid that Calcutta will be the next one to lose." Butrin said with a dull expression.

Although Nicholas was the governor of Calcutta of the East India Company, he was an officer sent by the British government to help the East India Company put down the rebellion in the Tuban. His family status in the country was prominent, so he did not appear humble in front of Nicholas.

Buterin’s words stiffened Nicholas’ expression. He said in a whisper; “This is India, not Australia, nor Newland. It’s not easy for the Chinese Empire to defeat us here.”
