For the first time, the Australian Navy of the USS Perfect made a long-distance formation voyage, and the final destination of this voyage was Hong Kong, which was nominally a leased territory of Australia, but in fact became a territory controlled by Australia in the actual sense.

The large-scale expansion of the harbor and wharf, as well as military facilities, all indicate that Australians are going to settle here for a long time, and Shen Youlong can only turn a blind eye to this, but he is not completely idle, making people keep an eye on the movements of Australians.

After all, if the management rights of this place are taken back, it is not a good thing for Liangguang, the government of Liangguang has relied on the immigration allowance given by Australians to solve most of the problem of insufficient funds, and at the same time, the problem of internal displacement has also been greatly solved.

If it weren't for the Australians, the main towns in the two cities and towns would be homeless at this moment, and a large number of homeless people would cause chaos, so his heart for the Australians was more complicated, after all, the Australians provided him with a lot of resources and solved a lot of problems.

However, the threat of Australia is also what he is more worried about, originally it was just that Australia is a small overseas country, and it is not a climate, but when he saw the naval formation, he had a new understanding of his misjudgment, and the Australians are definitely a maritime power.

Being able to build a sea ship that is bigger than the Hongmaoyi people, this shows that they are very good at building ships, and their mastery of navigation technology is not lower than them at all.

For this reason, Shen Youlong is a little worried that one day the Australians will attack from the sea, if this is really the case, then he has become a sinner through the ages, now the situation is very unstable, the northeast and northwest are not very peaceful, the thieves are getting bigger and bigger, and the Tartars are constantly detaining, if the Australians attack from the sea at this time, then the Ming Dynasty will be finished.

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Youlong's palms were beading with sweat, this was the situation he wanted to see the most, Australia sent so many ships to Hong Kong this time, what did it mean, was it really just a long voyage, and there was no other purpose.

I'm afraid it's not possible at all, and it should still have the idea of deterring some people.

"My lord, as you guessed, the Australians did come this time with the intention of deterrence, I heard that there was a conflict with those Dutch, so they dispatched such a large-scale ship to force the Dutch to pay reparations, and it was just a passing to Hong Kong."

A soldier who went out to inquire about the news told Shen Youlong what he had heard, and he was also very surprised by the news.

Because not so long ago, they had heard that the Australians had formed an alliance with the Netherlands, and the two sides were allies, and what did this mean by the conflict?

It shows that their alliance is not reliable, and such an alliance is likely to change because of interests, which makes Shen Youlong feel a little relieved, anyway, the Australians are not premeditated, after all, he is also very afraid that Australia will be in trouble from the sea at this time, and he will bear the brunt of it at that time.

Not only has to face Australians, but also needs to face the punishment of the imperial court, I am afraid that his net worth and life will not be guaranteed, so he is worried that it is not without problems.

Even so, Shen Youlong was still very worried, after all, for him, the Australians would be a threat sooner or later, and he believed that the Australians would never give up making more demands on Daming so easily.

From the expansion of Hong Kong, it can be seen that the Australians have become imperative here, and intend to develop a military fortress here, Shen Yulong does not dare to guarantee whether his army can attack Hong Kong.

Looking at the constantly reinforced castle, he had a feeling that this would be the frontier base for Australia to enter the interior of Daming in the future, but he thought well, but Australia did not want to conquer the land of Daming, and he was not interested in the land of Daming.

The world is very big, there is no need to focus on the land of Daming, Australia alone is enough to cross the public development, not to mention that there are many islands such as the American continent waiting to be seized by the public, so much land is still grabbing the land of Daming, isn't that too visionless, Australia is just to help Daming.

Purely to help the Ming get rid of barbaric rule, this was their initial decision, and when they had the strength to colonize the world together in the future, they would expand the circle of survival for the sons and daughters of China.

So Shen Youlong's idea is not entirely right, after all, Australia does not need the land of the Ming Dynasty, once it accepts the land of the Ming Dynasty, it is equivalent to accepting tens of millions of people, and the internal environment of the Ming Dynasty is very complicated If you want to deal with it well, it will not work without a lot of effort.

According to the consideration of the Executive Committee, if Australia really accepts the land of the Ming Dynasty, then Australia's economy is likely to be dragged down, not to mention, and it may regress, so Shen Youlong's worries are unnecessary.

Australia will not rashly start a war against the Ming Dynasty, but if you want to talk about Hong Kong, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to go back in the future, after all, Australia has positioned this place as an overseas territory, and the overseas territory has legal protection.

This time the Australian fleet came to Hong Kong, Zhou Yang had already greeted Shen Youlong in advance, just to avoid any conflict between the two sides, after all, the sudden appearance of ten warships in Hong Kong would indeed make people more worried.

The main purpose of Wang Tiehammer's personal voyage is to deter the Dutch and the Spaniards, and at the same time to further increase the actual sea operations, which is very important to them, the Australian Navy lacks training at sea, not to mention the good handling of steamships, but the actual combat ability needs to be improved, especially coordinated operations.

In terms of coordinated operations, the Australian Navy has not yet carried out cooperative operations, so this is also the first coordinated operation, and the formation is training for cooperative operations in addition to sailing as usual, which can be regarded as the purpose of this trip.

Of course, the Dutch did not know the true purpose of Australia, and were eager to pay reparations, and if they knew the true situation of the Australians, they would probably vomit blood in anger, after all, this is a great shame for them.

As for seeing the strong formation of the Australians, the Zheng family is also secretly glad that they did not start a full-scale war with the Australians at the beginning, once the full-scale war starts, they don't look at the advantage in the number of ships, but they may not be able to get much benefit, the Australians' ships are huge, and the number of artillery equipped with them is also several times that of them, and the power is even greater, if you want to defeat them, you have no advantage in numbers, you can only have a strong firepower ration, it is possible to win.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong has always wanted to get Australian firearms, so that they will at least have an advantage when dealing with other maritime forces. (To be continued.) )
