Chapter 92: The Perfect Returns

The Perfect Steam, which departed from Hong Kong's overseas territory and passed through Manila, Batavia and other places, finally appeared in the sea not far from Chang'an Town, and when the loud whistle sounded, the traversers, whether they were working or resting, ran to the shore, waiting for the hero's return.

This time, the Perfect gave Australia a long face, forcing Zheng Zhilong, the overlord of the East China Sea, to bow his head and admit his mistakes, not only compensated for the loss, but also signed an agreement on cooperation.

From this point of view alone, all the staff members who went out this time have credit, among which the Navy has the greatest credit, and of course the negotiations of the foreign trade team are indispensable.

When the Perfect sailed into the newly built No. 1 pier in Chang'an Town, a group of people were already waiting on the shore, including police and health quarantine workers.

As the new member of the committee, Shen Tiejun attended the welcoming ceremony this time, and he cordially stepped forward to shake hands with Wu Zhengdao and others to welcome him back.

After all the outgoing personnel had been disinfected and cleaned, they drove to the Executive Committee office building in a horse-drawn carriage, while the migrants were placed in temporary shelters at the health quarantine station to wait for the doctor's examination.

"Xiao Wu, this time you have given Australia a long face, and everyone is very worried about you, everything is going well, this negotiation and the work of the Zheng family are good." Xu Renguo first affirmed Wu Zhengdao's work, he trusted him the most, and has always trained him as a future successor.

Chairman, the main thing is that the navy has made great contributions, and our foreign trade group is mainly a mouthful, and has not fought any substantive battles, so they should be given great credit.

Looking at Wu Zhengdao with a modest face, Xu Renguo pointed at him and smiled, you Xiao Wu, it is hypocritical to be too modest, let's talk about it, whether the Zheng family will be a threat to Hong Kong's overseas territories.

In fact, this problem has always been a problem that the local executive committee is more worried about, the Zheng family is known as the overlord of the East China Sea, and after suffering such a big loss, can they not get back face, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Speaking of this issue, in fact, we are not sure, our intelligence work is very weak, mainly relying on the mouths of some businessmen, I hope to transfer Zhou Billy back to Hong Kong to work in overseas territory for a period of time, establish a complete set of intelligence network, and then transfer him back to China.

Since Billy Zhou returned to China, he has been training agents of the Homeland Security Agency in China, and he has not returned to Hong Kong, which is very unfavorable to Australia's intelligence work in Daming, because not being able to grasp intelligence first means not being able to make some decisions quickly.

In this context, the importance of Billy Zhou is reflected. At this time, Billy Zhou is not there, even if Wu Zhengdao will say this problem to his face.

"Well, intelligence work is indeed very important, Xiao Zhou's matter, we will arrange it as soon as possible, you talk about it to see if the Zheng family will launch an attack on Hong Kong's overseas territory, this is very important to us, we must ensure the safety of comrades there."

"Judging from my judgment, if Zheng Zhilong is not stupid, he should not act rashly, the Spaniards and the Dutch have built bases on Dayuan Island, and theoretically he must prevent these two forces."

Although the relationship between the Spaniards and the Dutch is not good, the relationship with the Zheng family is not very good, you must know that these two countries have always wanted to reopen the Japanese market, as a monopoly on Japan's foreign trade, the Zheng family has naturally become a thorn in their side.

is saying that they rashly sent troops to Hong Kong, and the impact on Zheng Zhilong is not good, at this time, Lao Zheng Ke cares about his reputation very much, and he is bent on stammering with the big guys in the DPRK and China, pretending to be his grandson.

"If we can station two or three warships there for a long time, the security of the overseas territory will be more guaranteed, but the cost may increase a lot."

Military expenditure has become the third largest expenditure of the Australian Executive Committee, judging from the detailed table of expenditure funds listed by Li Mengshi, the military expenditure is very large, don't look at the current number of the navy and the army are only a company of people, but the army needs a lot of funds to develop new weapons and replace old equipment.

Too much military spending will reduce the government's investment in infrastructure and people's livelihood, which will also cause a certain amount of infrastructure construction to be slow.

When Wang Tiehammer was in office, he had already formulated a plan for the expansion of the navy, which was basically agreed, but the military expenditure budget has seriously exceeded everyone's expectations.

"In addition to defending and protecting the safety of overseas citizens, the garrison is also a kind of deterrence, which is very necessary, this has basically been agreed by the Executive Committee, the situation in the Far East is more complicated, if we want to interfere in the future affairs of the Ming Dynasty, we must have a forward position, and this location is the most suitable in Hong Kong."

It seems that unlike what he imagined to be blocked, Lao Xu and others will be very supportive, but from this point it can also reflect the foresight of Xu Renguo, a former retired officer.

"Well, if there is a garrison, the Zheng family will not dare to have any ideas about Hong Kong, and we can also build this place into an experimental field for the reform of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"I'm afraid this is difficult, Xiao Wu, the reform of the Ming Dynasty, the current executive committee has different opinions, but agreed to interfere in the situation after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and did not decide how to help the Ming Dynasty to transform, you have been there, I am afraid you also know that it is not easy to carry out a rebirth reform there."

Xu Renguo sighed, saying that he was a little helpless, for the Ming officials, they may not be able to accept Australia's reform plan, in his opinion, only at the last moment can this possibility, the historical Nanming Emperor did not use the power of the Portuguese to deal with the Manchus?

"In addition to the threat of the Zheng family, I think we also have to guard against the Spaniards and the Dutch, especially the Dutch who are currently strong, their threat is greater than that of the Zheng family, the threat of the Zheng family will not sail to Australia, but the merchant ships of the Dutch can enter the Australian mainland, once they find out our reality, it is difficult to say whether they will send a fleet to occupy here."

Historically, the Dutch were no less greedy than the later British, and as they grew stronger, they continued to devour the lands of other colonial powers, whether by military means or shady deals, they did become the hegemon of the sea in the 17th century, and if they were not paid enough attention, it was likely to cause a disaster for themselves.

Wu Zhengdao's view is the feeling that he conjured up after passing through Batavia several times and observing the two dozen warships in the dock.
