Speaking of which, Boss Luo once again confidently said to everyone:

"So we still have a great advantage in the production of standard weapons, we not only have ready-made designs, but also processing capabilities that are higher than this era, so the mechanical group has a lot of confidence in the performance of these weapons."

Boss Luo finally concluded that all these will be short-term transitional firearms, and we will strive to develop a real metal-shelled combined ammunition within a year or two, and turn the flintlock gun into a real bolt-action rifle.

In the end, Boss Luo announced, okay, no matter what, let's go step by step, after the completion of this batch of Dutch flint, Hou Xianglin's new security tax district escort team will be prioritized, and the team in other places will be equipped according to the situation in the future.

The discussion about firearms came to an end for the time being, and the men of the mechanical team transported the guns to the machine factory outside the gate of the cave that afternoon, and they dismantled and studied them, and began the intensive transformation work.

At the same time, Mr. Zhao officially started a black ** combined ammunition workshop in the Xiliuhe Industrial Zone, and a group of careful women were selected to work in this workshop.

In the evening of the same day, Mr. Sun presided over the first plenary meeting after the return of the fleet.

The first half of the meeting was dominated by speeches by Captain Sun Lao Gu and others, who gave a detailed account of the whole voyage and reported on the affairs of the Duchess Margaret.

It's just that when Sun Lao introduced the duchess, everyone was laughing, so that Sun Lao was a little embarrassed.

When reporting on the matter of the Macau orphanage, Mr. Sun asked Dai Xiaoshan to give a detailed introduction, so Dai Shenyi once again explained to everyone why he wanted to take in the orphans, and praised the proposal of the family partners to establish a school.

He believes that this is one of the main ways for us to get "our own people" in the future, and although this model is a bit slow, in this world, we should not be radical and risky because we only have a few people.

Subsequently, at the request of everyone, Sun Lao gave a detailed account of his speech at the Macao City Council and his explanation of the "open-door diplomatic strategy".

The issue was the subject of some controversy, but with the exception of a few who said the slogan was a bit harsh, no one objected to the lofty-sounding declaration of "open doors and equal opportunities."

After all, this declaration gives us a commanding height of morality and justice in the face of the new world, but everyone is a little worried about whether this declaration is too early and whether it will attract the attention of all countries in the world too early.

However, Dr. Zhu said that it is okay, according to the speed of information transmission in the current era, it is actually very difficult for us to get this declaration to spread, and it is estimated that it will take one to two years for this declaration to reach the court of a certain country in Europe, and this must be paid a little attention to politicians who are very sensitive to the political and economic situation in the world.

So don't think too much about it, there is no global live television in this era, and our declaration only serves one purpose, which is to let the Portuguese and foreign businessmen in Macau understand that we are here to do business, and that we in the Australian Commonwealth can and are willing to be friends and business partners with the Portuguese and Dutch in Macau and Timor, as well as all the forces and individuals who are willing to do fair business with us, and that is enough.

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this, saying that even if the world knows this declaration, it is not a big deal, because at present, the world does not know the existence of the Australian continent, and it is difficult for outsiders to find us, and when the outside world really finds us, we should have a certain strength at that time.

As for the Dutch captain named Tasman, although he had been to the northern coastal areas of the Australian continent more than ten years ago, this was only a secret for him and his crew.

In the history of the Old World, decades later, until the explorer died, people vaguely learned a little bit of information from his logbook about a "big island" in the south, but in the New World, the Captain Tasker seemed to be still alive.

No one denied the great significance of this document, and of course everyone knows in their hearts that this so-called great significance will not be apparent until a few years later.

This is because it is only when we have the strength to influence the situation in the South Seas that this declaration will have a practical effect on others, and at that time, the "Macao Declaration" will become the cornerstone guiding the international relations of the Australian Commonwealth - whether a certain power accepts the core values of this declaration will be a basic criterion for testing whether this power is a friend or foe.

Sun Lao then proceeded to introduce the results of this trip to Macau, and everyone acknowledged that the most important achievement was the extinguishing of the plague, mainly due to the doctors, because it allowed us to be accepted and welcomed by all walks of life in Macau.

Moreover, the plague in the pacification of the Macao orphanage made Dai Xiaoshan and Duan Leyue both pick up the name of "miracle doctor", but what made Duan Leyue the happiest was that he finally overcame seasickness through this voyage.

Next, Gu Jin, on behalf of the Supreme Executive Committee, proposed that one of the two Dai Duan and Huang Lei Fanghong would take turns to serve as the ship doctor of the Nicole and the Pride, and as for Dr. Quan, because he was old and his family's scientific research was inseparable from this great expert, he would no longer serve as a ship doctor.

Sun Lao also explained at the meeting that this was a proposal unanimously approved by the members of the Supreme Executive Committee, and that in addition to the real need, there was also a purpose to replace one of the two generations on board.

The recommendation of the Supreme Executive Council is that one of the two of them needs to be based in Macau as our trade representative.

In fact, this proposal was first put forward by Quan Yishan at a regular meeting of the Executive Committee, and he believed that since we have established good relations and contacts in Macao, we should take this opportunity to take root in Macao, so it is a matter of course to send a representative to Macao on a permanent basis, and the best candidate should be one of the two doctors with a good reputation in the eyes of Macao citizens.

After careful discussion, the Supreme Executive Council concluded that it was really necessary for us to have a representative in Macau, not only for business, but also for immigration and intelligence gathering, and therefore not only to send people, but also to bring a radio station.

Obviously, this is a very important position, and there is a lot of responsibility.

After some discussion, we also felt that since these two doctors have the reputation of miracle doctors in Macao, then this reputation should be fully utilized, so that we can carry out various work smoothly on your behalf in Macao.

In order to determine who would be stationed in Macao, the two had a brief communication at the meeting, and in the end, because Dai Xiaoshan was relatively familiar with the operation of the radio station, the post of permanent representative fell to him.

Then the voting process began, and Mr. Sun formally proposed at the plenary meeting to appoint Dai Xiaoshan as the special envoy of the Australian Federation to Macao, and submitted it to the plenary meeting for voting.

As a result, Dai Xiaoshan became the first foreign envoy of the Australian Commonwealth in history with a unanimous vote, and his full name was: "Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Representative of the Australian Commonwealth for Trade and Church Affairs in Macao".

Apparently this "ecclesiastical business" refers to the orphanage and the "nautical training school" in Macau.

The next few doctors asked a series of similar questions almost simultaneously:

We can't stay on the ship all the time, can we?

Even if it's unrealistic to work in shifts, what should I do if there are more ships in the future?

Who is engaged in medical research?

We still have a pharmaceutical company to do! How to solve this problem?
