As the head of the secret service of the Ministry of Homeland Security, Liu Yun knew the thoughts of the Ming official at the first time, and then the official was on his blacklist, and focused on the standard danger level, anyone who is dangerous to Australia, there is a detailed information in the Ministry of Homeland Security, and this information is recorded in great detail.

The officials of the Congress did not expect that there was such an idea among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the real situation of Australia is easy to know through some details, Australia's population is not large, even the so-called vast inland should be not a large population, otherwise Australians would not put the capital in such a city close to the coast.

In a country where the capital of Australia is not as large as Guangzhou City, you can imagine how many people it has.

But now for Liu Yun, the most important thing is to go north of the Yangtze River to investigate, the investigation of the Manchu Qing is the focus, if you want the two sides to stop fighting, you must first understand the other side's forces.

According to the information sent back, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's standing troops north of the Yangtze River were about 600,000, and this was only the total number of some Ming army green battalions in Guishun, and if the Eighth Banner Army was counted, it would be at least about 750,000.

"It's not easy for the Manchus to maintain this force deterrence, so they also want to cease fighting, judging from the last few offensive reports, it can be seen that their intention is to probe, and there is no intention of a large-scale attack, Director, what do you say we should do next."

An investigator reported to Liu Yun about his work, put down the report in his hand, and waited for Liu Yun to give him instructions.

Compared with the number of Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming side mainly relies on the Yangtze River natural risk, plus the garrison of the Australian Navy, so it can maintain the balance, once the Australian Navy withdraws, the balance will be broken, so the Australian Navy's garrison in the Yangtze River still can't move, but the army can appropriately transfer back some troops back to China.

Liu Yun carefully studied the report, and it can be said that several attacks by the Manchu Qing Dynasty were blocked by the Australian Navy, and their naval warships could not be compared with the Australian Navy at all, so many attacks ended in failure.

Australia wants to withdraw part of its troops back to China, and completely sweep away the indigenous people in the country, which is the new main work of the Australian government, although the indigenous people in the country have no substantial threat to the Australian government, but with the development of the country, more and more immigrants are sent to the interior, and the government has to ensure their safety.

At present, Australia's standing strength in Daming is a division, close to 10,000 permanent troops, which is already the limit of Australia's military strength, in order to maintain this number, even part of the Southeast Asian garrison, once the Dutch and Spaniards have any ideas, then the colonies in these places will be greatly threatened.

In recent years, Australia's commercial system mainly revolves around the army, and the country's largest export trade is military products, so the Ming Dynasty urgently needs a truce to recuperate, otherwise it will be difficult for them and the Manchus to survive.

For the country, there is also an urgent need for a share of the civilian market, and the market of Daming is urgently needed in the country, so if they want to let the two sides sit down and negotiate, it depends on our trip to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In addition to investigating the situation north of the Yangtze River, Liu Yun's purpose this time was to negotiate an armistice agreement with the Manchus.

The premise of the armistice is that the alliance between the Ming Dynasty and Australia remains unchanged, once the Ming Dynasty is attacked, Australia will unconditionally provide military assistance, otherwise all armistice negotiations will not be accepted by the Ming court.

This is tantamount to tying Australia to their chariot, and the old Shen can't be blamed for being stubborn, after all, the Southern Ming Dynasty has not yet had the capital to resist the Manchus alone, and although the main force of the Eight Banners Army has been reduced to a certain extent after years of fighting, it does not affect the foundation of its southward operation.

The conditions of the Manchu Qing are estimated to ask Australia to come up with weapons in exchange, what they have always wanted is weapons, and food, the north has been the hardest hit area in recent years, not to mention the reduction of grain production, and let so many disaster victims eat, it can be said that the pressure of the Manchu Qing is also very huge.

The Southern Ming Dynasty is relatively better, in addition to the population control of not so many people, there is also the fact that Australia continues to immigrate from here, exchanging immigrants for food, which is one of the main sources of food for the Southern Ming Dynasty, which is to use foreign exchange to buy.

It is not impossible to give them food, but the most important thing in the country is that there is a shortage of people, and it is also possible to bring in a group of immigrants from the north.

There is a great shortage of people in the country, and a large number of people are needed to develop the inland and the development of the Australian Rim, of course, the Manchu Qing Dynasty itself also needs a large number of personnel, and a large number of labor can not only fill the army, but also serve as free labor.

Whether we can negotiate this is a very important question, but the premise is that Nanming's attitude is also there.

Lao Shen will definitely have some opinions on this aspect, after all, these are all compatriots.

When I was in Australia, the Congress focused on discussing several possible issues, what conditions the Manchus would put forward and how to solve them, all of which needed to be decided in accordance with this negotiation.

The Manchus also made some preparations for the Australians to discuss and negotiate, and even withdrew the garrison back 30 miles to show their sincerity.

As long as they can leave the white mountains and black water that day, they feel very satisfied!

Now just wait for the Australians to arrive, when will the Australians come, they should have already set off, the Manchu intelligence department has not yet found Liu Yun and others entering the country, after all, if they find out, then Liu Yun's old face is estimated to have no place to put it, an intelligence talent trained by the modern system, it is a very shameful thing to be discovered by others.

Liu Yun and the others went all the way north, and they didn't do anything else, but they recorded what they saw and heard along the way in their brains, which were all important data that they could use when negotiating.

When they arrived in the capital, the Manchu side was very surprised, these Australians arrived suddenly, and their own intelligence department had not yet found out, which made the Manchu nobles very angry and dissatisfied.
