Iron Dynasty

Chapter 1142: Cape of Good Hope

London, Empire Embassy.

A knock on the door in the middle of the night awakened Hu Chuan from his sleep. He immediately went to the door of Kang Ming's room to wake him up, and at the same time awakened the guards to take the revolver and carefully walk downstairs.

After the last port incident, the Imperial Embassy was repeatedly attacked. From time to time, radical British people threw bricks or torches, which made their nerves become sensitive, but the embassy would be broken into by thugs at any time.

Although both he and Kang Ming could choose to follow Yue Yun back to the empire, but they did not want to ruin their achievements in the past two years, and just yesterday, they finally reached an agreement with the Scottish MP.

As long as Scotland becomes independent, the empire will announce its support for the first time, but the Scottish MPs are also very cautious. If the empire cannot ensure a military presence in Europe, they will not take risks.

So they are going to send the news back and let the empire prepare in advance.

When he came downstairs, the guard looked out and found that there were no large crowds outside, so he immediately asked the guard to open the door.

At this time, an imperial man dressed as a businessman walked in with a sway.

Hu Chuan was stunned, he asked: "Are you?"

The businessman smiled and said: "I am the Imperial Secret Guard, and I have been ordered to inform you to leave the UK in advance.

"Evacuate? Is it the emperor..." Hu Chuan asked in shock.

The guard nodded, "Britain's rude behavior has challenged the bottom line of the empire. The emperor has formally ordered a battle against Britain. In two or three months, the news of the declaration of war will be sent back to Britain."

Hu Chuan and Kang Ming looked at each other, and Kang Ming said: "Great, our mission here is basically completed, it's time to teach them, but why did you come late at night, it shocked us." No way, my ship has just arrived, and I will come to you when I disembark." Secret Guard said that after the signing of the armistice agreement, there was some trade between the Empire and Britain.

He pretended to be a member of this trading company and traveled to the UK for many years, because their business involves industrial products, and the UK is very welcome.

After a pause, the secret guard continued: "When I came just now, I found a lot of eyeliners around the embassy. Now the withdrawal will surely disturb the British, so when our ship clears the expenses tomorrow, you will often visit the Imperial Merchant Ship as an excuse. We got on the boat and we took the opportunity to escape, but they couldn't catch us anyway."

Hu Chuan was a little worried, "Since the emperor has declared war on Britain, don't the British in the empire know it? If they know, we might not be able to leave."

"You don't have to worry about that. This time the emperor can prohibit the British from travelling to Britain by imperial ships, which means that it will take two or three months for the British in the empire to return to the UK at night than us."

Hu Chuan and the others were relieved. They said: "Okay, we will leave tomorrow, and when we come back next time, we will surely make the British face scandal."

Everyone suddenly laughed tacitly.

The next day, Hu Chuan ordered all important documents to be burned, and then led the envoy to the port.

Because the embassy had the habit of inspecting imperial merchant ships in the past, the British showed no unusual reactions.

But when the empire's merchant ships started sailing to the sea, the British people who followed Hu Chuan reacted, and they immediately reported the news to the Tulip Palace.

"What! Hu Chuan ran away!" Vidomia couldn't say anything.

She frowned and immediately ordered a search of the embassy. The news came quickly that all the embassy pieces were burned, leaving only some clothing and other debris.

Upon hearing this news, Vidomija's heart beat violently, and she suddenly realized that she was overconfident.

She thought that Britain and the empire were separated by tens of thousands of miles, and the release of the seized ship was nothing more than a diplomatic affair. The big deal would be to apologize personally, and the empire would not start a war.

But now Hu Chuan and others suddenly withdraw, which is obviously a precursor.

"Really should turn all the 42 warships into British property." Vidomija murmured.

At this time, Murphy and Brooke had arrived at the news. After confirming the news, their faces were extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, now we must be prepared for war, please send your majesty a national mobilization order to enter a state of war." Brooke said.

Murphy said: "We must immediately communicate with other European countries to win their support. If the Chinese Empire attacks Britain, their safety will inevitably not be guaranteed. Only when the whole of Europe is united can we survive this crisis."

Vidomija rubbed her brows painfully. He said: "France is now overwhelmed. We must seek support from Prussia, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Tsarist Russia, and Austria. As long as they are on our side, we can carry out this war. Go down."

Speaking of this, Vidomija said to Brooke: "You immediately send envoys to European countries. The war may not be far away."

Brooke saluted and acted immediately, and Murphy was also going to the House to announce the news.

And just as Vidomija predicted, more than two months later, the embarrassed British mission returned to Britain from the Chinese Empire. What they brought back was the empire's war books and news of the empire's attack on the British colonies in Africa.

...

In Cape Town, Liu Chen is staring at the area that has been turned into the Cape of Good Hope by the Europeans.

This is the British colonial government at the southernmost tip of Africa. It was originally a Dutch colony, but after the Anglo-Dutch War, it was taken over by the British.

For this place in Africa, the empire has always lacked interest, and the main reason is the attitude of Emperor Xiao Ming.

At the court, Xiao Ming rejected the advice of importing slaves from Africa, and at the same time analyzed the harm it would cause to the empire in the future.

Based on the law prohibiting the introduction of slaves from Africa, the interest groups in the empire are naturally lacking in interest in Africa. After all, the most lacking in the empire today is the slave ~www.wuxiaspot.com~General, the artillery is ready and ready to fire! "The captain of the King-class ironclad warship reminded in time.

Liu Chen put down the binoculars with a firm expression. He cherished this opportunity to commit crimes.

Since the start of the empire, he has been fighting here along the east coast of Africa, and now the entire port on the east coast of Africa is occupied by the Marines.

The following imperial engineering teams will quickly rebuild these ports, and then garrison troops and supplies will be in place one by one, making these ports a supply base for the empire.

However, relatively speaking, the European power on the east coast of Africa is relatively weak. In his view, the real thing to deal with is the west coast of Africa.

Because here is the northwest African coast occupied by Spain, Portugal's occupation of both sides of the southern African continent and the island of Madagascar, and the British and French occupation of the Gold Coast of the Gulf of Guinea, as well as the North African coast and Egypt.

But at present, the target of his attack is Britain, and other European countries are temporarily not included.
