The 180th chapter "Nanyang's Hidden Threat" (part one)
"Speak." Du Wei narrows his eyes: "You better hurry up and speak the truth. Don't expect me to be fooled by you! Otherwise, that Lufick won't be able to take that many whips! "
Sighing, Ben Carson helplessly looked at Du Wei: "Who the hell are you? How do you know so much about Nanyang!"
Du Wei smiles: "You still don't know my identity? My name is Du Wei! Oh, of course, you may not know my name, but you should know my father's name … His name is Raymond! Earl Raymond, the former supreme commander of the Empire's Nanyang Expedition Fleet! "
Raymond?
As soon as this name was spoken, Ben Carson's heart palpitated and all hope turned to dust!
Because in Nanyang, Raymond from the Roland Empire … This name is too resounding!
Bandit! Butcher! Executioner! … … His hands are stained with the blood of the aboriginals. He is the infamous invader in the hearts of the aboriginals. He is the one who burned their homes and enslaved them. It can be said that in Nanyang, Earl Raymond's name is enough to stop a child from crying.
This sneering aristocratic youth is actually the son of that terrifying butcher?!
Ben Carson doesn't have time to think too much because Lufick's screams are still echoing in his ears! No one knows the importance of this youth's identity more than him! No one knows the significance of this youth's identity to Nanyang more than him!
"I'll speak! I'll tell you anything! I only ask you to tell your people to stop! " Ben Carson's body swayed as if he could no longer stand. His face turned ashen as if he had aged a lot in an instant.
"Okay." Du Wei gave Ruo Lin a meaningful glance and Ruo Lin immediately went out. A moment later, the screams stopped.
Ben Carson breathed a sigh of relief, but the muscles on his face kept twitching:
"My real name is Ben Ka. I am not lying about this name. In Southeast Asia, there are many people with the name Ben Ka. This is a common name. And my identity is not a priest of the Sun tribe … I … "Old Ben Carson clenches his teeth:" My true identity is the Grand Priest of the United Kingdom! "
United Kingdom?
Du Wei didn't show much on his face, but he was sighing in his heart.
As expected, where there was oppression, there would be resistance.
In fact, as early as Du Wei's father, Earl Raymond, led several expeditions, in the vast waters of the southern seas, some of the larger tribes were unwilling to be exterminated by the invaders from afar, and carried out some very tenacious resistance. However, the disparity in strength was too great. Be it civilization or military force, they were far behind the massive imperial fleet. That kind of resistance could not cause substantial damage to the imperial expedition.
However, with the excessive exploitation of the southern seas' resources, the tribes that were originally retreating had no choice but to break out into a desperate and tenacious resistance in order to survive. The continuous war over the past few decades had greatly stimulated the development of the Nanyang tribe's civilization, causing the original indigenous people's military development to almost reach a deformed state. Even Du Wei's father, Earl Raymond, had a trace of worry about the future of the southern seas.
As for this so-called United Kingdom, Du-Wei has vaguely heard of it.
Long before the era when Earl Raymond commanded the navy, in the far south, where the Empire's expeditionary forces were still unable to reach, some of the more advanced tribes had already united with countless smaller tribes to establish a "kingdom" that existed to resist the Empire. It is said that the United Kingdom had hundreds of tribes of varying sizes, covering more than 100 islands. The largest island was even as big as a province of the empire.
Since the establishment of the rumored "United Kingdom", the imperial expeditionary fleet began to face more and more pressure. In the beginning, because of the huge disparity in military force between the two sides, the pressure wasn't obvious. But in recent years, the United Kingdom of the southern seas began to show some fruitful results in resisting the empire.
They used their familiarity with the geography of the southern seas and even learned some harassing tactics. It was unknown where he had stolen some of the Empire's shipbuilding techniques from, but he had built a batch of warships that were simple but still quite fast. Relying on those warships and the empire's guerilla warfare in the vast sea, they even often set up traps to lure the empire's navy into some of the whirlpools and reefs in the "Dead Sea", causing some damage to the empire.
The biggest change occurred three years ago. Three years ago, the empire's expedition to the southern seas brought a very clear danger signal to the empire.
Because, in the expedition three years ago, the empire broke a glorious record that had been maintained for a long time: zero warships in a frontal battle!
For a long time, the empire's army had never failed in a frontal battle against the barbarians of the southern seas.
The empire's warships had never been sunk by the barbarians of the southern seas!
The huge gap in military force made the empire's army almost no real threat on the battlefield of the southern seas. To them, instead of worrying about the laughably crude "army" of the Nanyang tribes, it was better to worry about the hurricanes and whirlpools, submerged reefs, and terrifying weather on the sea … There were even some arrogant generals who declared that they were going to Nanyang not to fight people, but to fight the heavens. As long as the weather was good, they could even drive the fleet to the end of the world without any hindrance!
But in a battle three years ago, the Empire's glorious record was finally broken!
Under the leadership and influence of the rumored "United Kingdom", the southern seas tribes built a huge "fleet". Although by the standards of the empire, the so-called "fleet" was so simple that it was difficult to look at it seriously. The other party's best so-called "warship" was far less than half of an ordinary merchant ship of the empire.
However, the number of the "fleet" of the United Kingdom was too terrifying. In that battle, it was said that the other party gathered dozens of times more ships than the expeditionary fleet. After a decisive battle on the sea, the empire's fleet still won, but after that battle, the empire's warships suffered no damage and were destroyed!
In the battle, the empire lost two Sea Spirit class warships, and a Sea King class warship was almost seriously damaged.
This change, without a doubt, should've sounded the alarm of the empire's military, but it seems that the empire's military didn't care. After all, the past battle results were too glorious, and the enemy's overly large "fleet" gave the military a reason to justify.
Even an elephant, when faced with an endless number of ants, may occasionally be bitten a few times.
But Du Wei learned the truth of the matter through some "channels"!
Just a few days ago, after Earl Raymond left the imperial capital, Du Wei tidied up the study room left behind by Earl Raymond, and found some documents that were placed in the cabinet when Earl Raymond was in power … Those things were originally military information, but after the coup, and the change of regime, management was inevitably chaotic, and some of the information that Earl Raymond held, the military didn't retrieve it — — Or maybe they didn't think those things were important.
Indeed, for the military, Nanyang is still a fat sheep that can be slaughtered by them.
But Du Wei read the information a few days ago, and learned about the battle that broke the empire's record of zero casualties three years ago, and found a lot of differences!
First, the United Kingdom of Nanyang, seems to have grasped some basic tactics. Although it's a bit simple, it has indeed stepped into the category of "tactics".
The other party led the empire's fleet to a very advantageous sea area, and engaged in a decisive battle! It was a narrow sea area between two small islands, and on the two small islands, the natives of Nanyang actually set up a batch of catapults!
Those crude catapults have an extremely low hit rate, but their range is very long, and on the two small islands, they can cover the narrow sea area between the two islands! And the low hit rate is not a problem, because the natives of Nanyang are simply holding a heroic and decisive idea to fight the empire in a decisive battle! When the catapults on both sides are launched, it's almost indiscriminate "attack" on both sides of the sea area! Among them, the Sea Spirit class warship that the empire lost, was precisely hit by the catapults.
Even in the information, there are some signs indicating that the other party has also learned simple tactics like "outflanking the rear" and "flanking from both sides"!
These people were no longer the natives who only knew how to use wooden canoes, spears, and sabers made of mud! After nearly a hundred years of oppression, they are building their own set of military civilization!
