Chapter 179: The Crisis Remains
Even if Australia establishes a disciplinary supervision committee to solve internal problems, in fact, there are still problems, such as the threat from the aborigines, how there are about hundreds of thousands of aborigines in the Australian continent, and there are about 80,000 aborigines who have been arrested or cleared by the crossing crowd.

This means that there are still hundreds of thousands of natives roaming the continent, and it is very likely that they will appear in front of everyone at any time.
Although the combat effectiveness of the natives is not high, and it only takes a company of troops to completely wipe them out, the key is that some new strongholds and towns do not have so many troops, and it is very likely that they will be wiped out by the other side when they encounter a tribe of thousands of people.
This is the big problem at the moment, and in order to get peace of mind internally, it is necessary to organize a nationwide sweep of all the indigenous settlements and the number of kilometres from the nearest towns.
Although the workload is a bit large, at least it can ensure the safety of the residents, this work should have been carried out by Shi Nan of the Land Management Bureau, but he is currently in full swing to extract oil and further process the oil, and it is up to him whether the Perfect can be restarted.
Therefore, this work had to be handed over to the Army Command, and the Army would send people to investigate and count the indigenous people, and at the same time eliminate some indigenous tribes that might be in danger, which was the order given to them by the Executive Committee.
The need is to ensure the safety of all, and the new immigrants must live in a new safe environment, and with the return of more than a dozen transport ships, the number of immigrants from Daming this time exceeded 3,000 for the first time.
The scale of 3,000 people is very large, which is the largest transport of people in history, and at the same time the largest number of people transported in a single trip.
In order to welcome the arrival of these people, the Executive Committee had begun preparations a month ago, and the temporary housing, as well as the personnel who had been diverted, as well as the arranged posts, had already been planned, and they were waiting for the arrival of the people.
Therefore, in order to ensure that they live in a safe environment in the future, it is necessary to carry out a sweep of the natives, and there will be many free peasants among these 3,000 people.
That is, twenty families are organized into a village, and they are given seeds and livestock of their choice, and they can choose to farm or graze, and the final harvest is purchased by the state farms.
Villages were built around towns and could be used as both defensive strongholds and annexation zones for urban expansion, a way of developing a scale that was borrowed from later generations.
In addition to the threat from the aborigines, how can Australia also come from the threat from the sea, the threat from the sea mainly comes from the pirates and the Dutch, with the route from Australia to Batavia is no longer a secret, whether the pirates have noticed this busy route, it is difficult to say, but the Dutch have indeed mastered the secret of this route, and they can rule out troops at any time to attack the Australian mainland.
Of course, the Dutch may not know the details of Australia now, after all, in their eyes, Australia is a very powerful existence, this powerful country not only has a steel giant ship that no one else has ever seen, but also has a powerful army force.
To determine whether a country is strong, you only need to look at the combat effectiveness of its army and navy, and Australia is such a powerful existence in its eyes, so they dare not act rashly, and can only adopt a cooperative approach.
Otherwise, with the aggressive style of the Dutch, how could they let go of the opportunity for expansion, even if they knew that Australia was strong, they did not give up exploring Australia, and sent a lot of secret agents.
There are dozens of secret agents sent to Australia alone, but none of them have ever left Chang'an Town, as long as they leave Chang'an Town, they will be immediately caught by the Australian police and asked to show their applications to other towns in Australia, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to go.
Of course, there were other applications, but after they went to the interior of the Australians, there was no sound, which made Van Diemen have to believe that they may have been secretly executed by the Australians, but these people were secretly dispatched, and he could not directly intervene, otherwise he would expose his motives.
Once the motive is revealed, the cooperation between the Netherlands and Australia will not be able to proceed well, so he must think carefully.
Of course, he will never give up the exploration of Australia, how Australia is full of miracles, just like the Oriental Ming Dynasty, this country that is also inherited from the land of the East, also makes him yearn for it very much.
The Dutch have always had the idea of exploring Australia, which has added a lot of trouble to Australia, and has to consider a problem, that is, the patrol of the coast must be incorporated into daily affairs.
At present, the patrol task is only limited to the 100 kilometers of coastline around Chang'an Town, and other places have not been reached, mainly because of inconvenient transportation, although the construction of the Ring Road has begun, but it can not solve many problems.
The road is built along the coastline, although it is called the Ring Ao Highway, but it does not mean that it will always be built in the past, but it will always be built around the coastline, where there are settlements, or post stations will be built in the past.
Therefore, this road does not play much role in patrolling, the main problem is to form a cavalry battalion, it will be much more convenient to have a cavalry patrol, and it is possible to reduce troop losses.
Of course, the cavalry battalion is not so easy to form, there are no horses in Australia, all the horses rely on imports, a battalion needs hundreds of horses, and it may take some time to transport hundreds of hard-working horses at one time.
At present, the biggest threat is still the indigenous people, and only when the indigenous threat is eliminated can we talk about anything else.
So the Army Command gave a mission to carry out a clean-up operation against the indigenous tribes around several towns, and although it was unfair to the indigenous people, it was the law of survival.
The Army's 1st Company was tasked with attacking the Aborigines, and the captives would be sent to the mines to mine or build roads, which were the main source of labour in Australia.
For a long time in the future, Australian indigenous labor is the main force in the construction of various factories, these free laborers serve as the work of infrastructure construction, but their identity is a little embarrassing, which can not only drive a certain productivity, but also bring danger, the main thing is that the indigenous people are uncivilized, with a certain degree of aggression so that people dare not easily give them freedom, only after a certain period of education and naturalization can they completely eliminate the potential threat they bring.
In fact, the Executive Committee has always paid attention to the issue of indigenous naturalization, but it has not put it in the first place. (To be continued.) )
