1797 Borneo Raiders

The Zhiyuan is the flagship, the other seven sail warships are troop carriers and supply ships, and in addition to the eight battleships, there is another white sailboat with a slender hull, which is Xiao Letian's gift to King Shangtai, the Adventure King. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The speed of the warship is absolutely different from that of the expedition ship, and the speed of the Adventure King is a little overwhelmed when the sail is full sail and the Adventure King is only half-sailed.

The entire South China Sea has become a playground for the Adventure King, and the high-paid captains and sailors are the most experienced, who have already completed the run-in with the Adventure King in the shortest time, and are now doing all kinds of sailing maneuvers on the ocean.

Eight warships lined up across the ocean, while the Adventure King sailed back and forth in a queue like a swift, showcasing the ship's performance with a variety of extreme moves.

Zaichun is a playful child's mentality, he doesn't want to be bored on the Zhiyuan with his master, plus he is angry when he sees Xiang Ying, and there are many novelties on King Shangtai's expedition ship, so the two of them have a lot of fun on the Adventure King.

Jae Chun was not in the meeting just in time, Sima Yun, Luo Huo, Xiang Ying and other senior officers gathered in Xiao Letian's single cabin, smoking thick cigars, huge maps were placed on the table, and several bottles of spirits in the wine cabinet were dry.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Huaiyuan also traveled with him on this trip to Europe, and of course, there were the first group of European elites such as Pierre to take refuge.

In the future, the intelligence of the Chinese will focus on Europe, how can Wang Huaiyuan, a big spy leader, not personally inspect it.

The South China Sea is full of merchant ships from Asian and European countries, and the trade between the East and the West has been busy since ancient times, and when everyone saw the tall and majestic bridge and mighty cannon of the Zhiyuan, all the Chinese merchants were boiling.

The sound of horns and conches along the road sounded in unison, and the sailors' ship boss on the deck knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Long live the Führer...... Outlands ...... When you get to Europa, you'll fight the old hairy man again......"

The news of the victory in the Far East has spread throughout the world, and the waists of all the Chinese here in Nanyang are as straight as steel bars, and the social status of all Chinese has been rapidly expanded because of this battle.

Lion City, Malaysia, Surabaya...... The Chinese in various places organized half-month-long celebrations, 24-hour uninterrupted celebrations, and none of those Western colonists dared to fart, and even the foreign military and police had to be careful to maintain order and prevent conflicts between the indigenous and Chinese.

War is indeed the most powerful weapon to boost people's hearts, and it is better to win a foreign war than to speak 10,000 truths, and to fear power but not to be virtuous is a common disease of all barbarians.

At this moment, no one in East Asia dared to challenge Xiao Letian's power, and even those British merchant ships in the South China Sea at this moment took the initiative to give way and whistle to salute this fleet.

"Look, that's the legendary Zhiyuan...... The Times has long said that this year, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the head of the Chinese family will visit Europe...... God, we are so lucky to have met Xiao Letian's fleet!"

Countless European gentlemen and ladies waved their top hats to the fleet on deck!

Wang Huaiyuan leaned on the porthole and sighed: "The people's will is available! The people's heart is available...... I just received a telegram from the spy ship that the Chinese Guards in the Bailayitun Reclamation District have now gathered 60,000 people......"

"The land kings of Borneo have sent twelve telegrams begging for mercy to Naha in succession, and they are willing to offer beautiful women of gold and silver, and admit that they are vassals of the Chinese people, so as to spare them ......"

"One more day's trip will be to Borneo, and at this moment the Chinese people in Bailayi are already excited...... They said that when the Führer came, they would launch a general offensive to overthrow all the princes of northern Borneo and establish an autonomous region subordinate to the Chinese......"

"Of course, what they want most is to be directly integrated into the Chinese nation, what do you think of the Führer......"

All eyes are on the center of the map, in the middle of Southeast Asia, a large island holding the throat of Southeast Asia, this is Borneo, which was known as the Bo Ni Country in ancient times, and the West also called Kalimantan Island.

Xiao Letian looked at the island, and his finger lightly tapped the map: "Kalimantan, the Kingdom of Brunei, the East of Malay...... How am I going to eat your piece of fat?"

Luo Huo smiled, "What a good place! You see, this is right in the heart of Southeast Asia, guarding the southernmost tip of the South China Sea, controlling here, and establishing a military port can split the whole of Southeast Asia, and we can fight as much as we want......

"Of course I know that the location here is good, and it is naturally excellent to be able to annex it directly!" Sima Yun frowned and said, "But do the British agree? We have already approached Malacca after occupying this place, and they will agree? I don't think it should be annexed directly, and these compatriots should be allowed to build their own ...... first."

"Engage in the Far East model, first establish a Bo mud country, and then join our Chinese clan over time, this is the safe way!"

The two heavenly kings expressed their opinions and had their own reasons, but Wang Huaiyuan did not say a word for a long time before he said, "The situation here is different from that of the Far East, where the indigenous people are very backward, and the European colonizers did not intervene too deeply here for various reasons...... We must remember that in this land, we Chinese are the representatives of the most advanced civilization!"

Damn, the spy leader is like this, he never speaks directly about his arguments, and always knocks on the side.

Xiang Yingqi slammed his fist on the map, "I agree with Director Wang's opinion, this kind of primitive and backward land must be directly annexed, other ethnic groups in the Far East are very strong, and there are Manchus in the three eastern provinces, we must build a multi-ethnic United Kingdom, and divide all the power equally......"

"This kind of place is full of wild monkeys, and they don't even wear clothes, so what kind of alliance is there? Direct annexation is the best way...... I think the British will protest but will not use force!"

Xiao Lotian smiled: "Why?"

"The whole of Borneo is full of rainforests and mountains, and the most valuable cash crops are grain, rubber and spices......

"But the Europeans don't look down on rice at all, rubber has major producing areas in other places, and there is no need for redevelopment to only cause a surplus in the market, as for spices, in the final analysis, it is not a strategic resource, and the British will not care!"

"War with us for a piece of land of low value? I think it may be very low, I suggest just annexing it!"

"Reject all the princes' sued, let our new army deal with the Baila Yi Guards, and attack Brunei Daru, so that the entire northern region of Borneo will be ours!"

"Führer, even for the sake of Bai Layi's dead souls, in order to vent their anger, we will take this land...... This battle is bound to inspire the confidence and courage of the Chinese people in Southeast Asia, and they will yearn for our Chinese people even more!"

"Hahaha...... Xiao Letian laughed out loud, "Interesting, really interesting! That's it...... decided!

"Tell them that I only have one day to stay and settle the battle within 24 hours...... Zhiyuan, I allow you to fire three cannons, just fire three cannons, just deter those wild monkeys!"

"Yes, yes, yes......" There was an excited voice of command in the cabin.

Sima Yun and Wang Huaiyuan said a little worriedly: "Is it so radical? Is it necessary? It can kill people like a practical soft knife!"

Xiao Letian suddenly lowered his voice and patted them on the shoulder: "You don't understand, do you think I value this island? What I value is what is hidden under this island...... That's black gold that can change the world for hundreds of years!"
