Through Liu Lishun's telegram, Gao Junshan felt that the capital was very eager for bicycles, a new type of transportation, so he sent Liu Lishun another telegram, asking the Civil Affairs Yuan to make a plan to open a few more bicycle factories to meet the needs of society.

……

The British did not break their promise, and when March came, they officially declared war on the Netherlands. According to the information of the General Affairs Bureau, since the Chinese Legion of America began to cross the Atlantic, the British also formed an expeditionary fleet to march to Africa, the purpose of which was to attack the Dutch colonies on the west coast of Africa, with the intention of seizing the Dutch ivory, slaves, and gold trade.

The movement of the American Army in Britain was secret, no one knew the whereabouts of this fleet, and after Makin led the fleet to the Azores, no Westerners were found, and the island was deserted. The fleet rested on the island for five days, replenished fresh water, and then began its journey to the Americas.

As a result of receiving a sum of money from China, Britain has strengthened its naval construction, and the British navy has set up seven detachments, which currently have more than 100 warships of various types, as many as 4,500 guns on board, and more than 20,000 soldiers on board.

Gao Junshan received a report from the General Affairs Bureau that the British had begun a blockade of the Dutch to intercept their merchant ships.

"Shall we carry out a raid on the Netherlands to cooperate with the British operation?" On the third floor of the Yangon Command and Command Center, Tian Qiliang was asking Gao Junshan for instructions.

Gao Junshan waved his hand: "No need, wait for the two of them to fight, if we send a fleet to participate in the war, the Netherlands will be finished in less than three months, which is not in the interests of Huaxia." Besides, didn't we also declare war on the Netherlands, our Legion of the Americas has reached its destination, and Makin and his team are developing the Americas as planned. ”

The Legion of the Americas has arrived on Manhattan Island, at this time Manhattan Island was bought by the Netherlands, there are about 800 people living on the island, all of them are Dutch colonists, Gao Junshan ordered Markin's Legion of Americas to kill all the people on the island, not a single one is left, and after the killing, the corpses will be destroyed, and all the corpses will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

Ma Jin resolutely carried out Gao Junshan's orders. Their fleet approached Manhattan, and the people of the island very arrogantly prevented the fleet from approaching, and Makin ordered to answer them with guns.

Even if it's an island that you bought in the Netherlands, what about that? Lao Tzu can take it if he wants to, and let all your people disappear, and the Netherlands will not be able to find anyone to appeal in the future.

Tian Qiliang asked: "Mountain chief, America is so far away from us, what is the point of us going there?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "In today's world, this is the era of colonial expansion by European powers, and they have seized territory in Africa and America with their powerful navy. Although we in China are one step behind them, we entered the era of steam engines earlier than them, and we must rely on the absolute superiority of the navy to redraw the world pattern. ”

Tian Qiliang did not very understand the "world pattern" mentioned by Gao Junshan, in his ideological system, it was still an acre and three points of land in front of him, and the concepts of what nation and country were still vague to him.

Carrying out Gao Junshan's orders was unswerving for him, and Gao Junshan believed that this was enough. People who have Tian Qiliang's thoughts, among the Chongwen disciples of Gao Junshan, there are many people, they are loyal to Gao Junshan, not any country or nation, as long as it is the order given to them by Gao Junshan, they will do it without hesitation.

At this time, Li Derong walked in from outside and reported to Gao Junshan: "Your Majesty, Li Dingguo has come to report." ”

Gao Junshan smiled: "He's coming quickly, please invite him in!" ”

Li Derong said: "Yes." Your Majesty, here is a telegram from Bai Wenxuan, who is stationed in Bombay. ”

Gao Junshan took the telegram and asked Li Derong to invite Li Dingguo in.

Gao Junshan handed Bai Wenxuan's call to Tian Qiliang and asked Tian Qiliang to read it to him.

Tian Qiliang picked up the telegram and read it: "Bai Wenxuan of the Fourth Army reported to the emperor that we had a skirmish with the army of the Mughal State, please instruct the emperor to fight, can the Fourth Army fight?" ”

Gao Junshan didn't make up his mind immediately, but asked Tian Qiliang: "What do you think?" ”

Tian Qiliang said: "Of course, we must fight, and we must not be soft on the enemy who comes to attack." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Solving the Dutch East India Company in Batavia is the time to teach this little Mughal a lesson." Not only Bai Wenxuan, but Cao Wenzhao of the First Army had already wanted to send troops. ”

Tian Qiliang asked: "Are we going to go to war against the Mughals?" ”

Before Gao Junshan could answer Tian Qiliang, Li Dingguo came in.

"Father, Li Dingguo is here to report!"

Gao Junshan said happily: "Okay! Just waiting for you to come. ”

Li Dingguo asked: "Is it going to be a war?" ”

Gao Junshan and Tian Qixian looked at it and smiled.

Li Dingguo asked again: "Am I not right?" ”

Tian Qiliang said: "Yes, you are right, the mountain chief was still talking about the war just now, and you came in." ”

Gao Junshan showed Bai Wenxuan's telegram to Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo was originally Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, when he first saw Gao Junshan, he also said wildly, calling Gao Junshan the eldest brother, after Zhang Xianzhong's death, he followed Zhang Xianzhong's people to join Gao Junshan, because he was a Ma Jin, Ma Wen The two brothers had a good relationship, and later Gao Junshan also accepted Li Dingguo as a righteous son.

After reading Bai Wenxuan's telegram, Li Dingguo said indignantly: "Fight back! Counterattack! Fight back! How can we let others and pee on our heads? ”

Gao Junshan said contemptuously: "The small Mughal country is also, I can wipe it off the earth with a slight lift of my hand. We have to take a long-term view, and you can look at it. ”

Gao Junshan brought Li Dingguo and Tian Qiliang to the front of the navigation chart, and he pointed to the Persian Gulf and said: "This is where we have to gain a firm foothold." ”

Tian Qiliang asked: "Mountain Chief, are we going to march into the Persian Gulf?" ”

Gao Junshan replied affirmatively: "Yes, march into the Persian Gulf." You immediately plan to form the Gulf Army, and the first task of the Gulf Army is to help the Persian state destroy the Mughals. ”

Tian Qiliang and Li Dingguo replied at the same time: "Obey the order!" ”

Gao Junshan asked Tian Qiliang and Li Dingguo to sit down, and then asked Li Dingguo: "Dingguo, have you settled down in Yangon?" ”

Li Dingguo said: "Back to my father, the child has only arrived in Yangon, and he has not yet settled down. ”

Tian Qiliang hurriedly said: "Mountain Chief, the student will go to the logistics office to arrange Commander Li's residence." ”

Gao Junshan waved his hand and said: "No need, anyway, Dingguo has not lived in Yangon for a long time, so he will temporarily come to my villa, Dingguo, I will temporarily wronged you, and you will live in the front yard with Li Derong and them." ”

Li Dingguo said: "No problem, the child listens to his father's arrangement." ”

Gao Junshan asked again: "Did Hao'er come with you?" ”

Hao'er is called Hong Hao'er, the daughter of a Red Army friend, and Li Dingguo's wife.

Li Dingguo said: "They will arrive in two days. ”

Gao Junshan said: "Hao'er is here, let Concubine Ruan take her to the street for a walk, this place in Yangon is lively." ”

Li Dingguo said: "My daughter-in-law has long wanted to come to Yangon for a walk, but she doesn't have the opportunity, this time I can let her go to the street with Concubine Ruan, I don't know how happy she is!" ”

Gao Junshan said: "After the national railway is completed, she will let her play wherever she wants." ”

Li Dingguo said: "When it comes to building railways, those Japanese people are quite hardworking. ”

It was the first time Gao Junshan had heard someone say this, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is it?" ”

Li Dingguo said: "We originally thought that the six million laborers of the Japanese country would flee a lot when they arrived in our China, who would have thought that not only did they not flee, but also worked very hard, I heard Cao Xinru say, since there were laborers of the Japanese country, the progress of the construction of the mountain railway is very rapid, and it was originally planned to open the whole line to traffic in ten years, but now it seems that the time will be greatly advanced." ”

Ordinary people will definitely be very happy after hearing Li Dingguo's news, but after Gao Junshan heard it, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
