C1876 Sri Lanka Gallo (1/2)

Time was the most important part of a strategic plan. He did not understand that time would not have the ability to make an outstanding plan, and why Xiao Letian dared to so arrogantly shoot a shot in the Indian Ocean. In other words, he had already calculated the reaction times of both sides and even the third party.

The Zhiyuan Warship had injured the French flagship with their cannons, which in international law meant that they had declared war.

But does that mean they're going back to the war? The answer is no.

Any national war required a long period of preparation. Even if there had to be a war, you had to prepare in advance for the materials, make a strategic plan, use your diplomatic mediation, gather your troops … After that, the two sides would have to engage in several more intense negotiations. All in all, they had to have a good international lead before they could formally engage in a firefight.

In fact, even the nomadic peoples s who were known as soldiers of all people a few thousand years ago, such as the Turk, Mongolia, still needed several months of preparation before they could start a war.

If the horses, cattle, and warriors wanted to gather together, it would take time for the chief of the tribe to set up an attack route.

Understanding this logic made Xiao Letian understand the reason why he was so confident, because he was very clear that France was destined to fall into a war of no return in 1870, and there was less than a year left.

Xiao Letian also understood that because he had flapped his wings, Prussia would be more prepared than ever before. Other than the secret weapon trade between Xiao Letian and Prussia, Prussia had already made a huge profit.

Furthermore, he himself would also personally enter the battlefield. Even the smallest amount of power would still be strength. Bismark possessed even more abundant resources than in all of history.

In less than a year, would Fa Huangnapolunsanshi be able to declare war on the Hua Clan? He didn't even have time to prepare for the war. He believed that under the influence of British diplomacy and mud, diplomatic negotiations alone would take more than half a year.

By the time Napoleon III was determined to attack the Chinese, the Prussian army would already be close to Paris.

The cannon on the Indian Ocean looked very dangerous, but as long as you could figure out the trick behind it, you would know Xiao Letian's sinister methods.

The French were just waiting to suffer a loss. After the Franco-Prussian War ended, the colonies in the Bay of Bengal would probably be divided between Prussia and the Chinese. How could they still seek revenge? Dream on!

The entire cabin of the fox finally came to a realization as their laughter continued throughout the night. Four to five bottles of wine had been opened consecutively, and after a night of hangover, the united fleet finally saw land, and it was Sri Lanka's Jia Le.

Galler had been an important stronghold of the Portuguese, but it had been conquered by the British. The castle was now an important base of operations for the British in the Indian Ocean.

He was located at the southernmost tip of the Sri Lanka, not only as a supply ground for the fleet to cross the Indian Ocean, but also as an important military fortress and a major commercial town.

Nearly half of Sri Lanka's most famous jewel industry was sold here, let alone other cash crops.

When the boat reached here, it was already the first place that they needed to rest. Their previous stop at the Borneo was completely unplanned, but the Singapore was not as crowded as the Chinese people were. The British colonists would rather die than let the Great Qing's emperor and the Chinese leader land on land.
