The Medeno people were able to use teleportation to communicate over long distances, which they not only knew about themselves, but also clearly understood through this ambush that the Chinese were also familiar with the situation, and were also able to intercept messages through teleportation. This shows that communication is no longer a secure information transmission channel that the Medeno people can use, but the Chinese in front of him is using the seemingly unattractive thing to ask and answer, it is obvious that this must be the information transmission channel made by the Chinese, and it looks far better than the communication technology of the Medeno people, because people can ask and answer in real time, as if two people are sitting face-to-face chatting, such a means of communication is unimaginable on the side of the Medeno people.

When he arrived at the wharf of the Oriental Port, Miro immediately found that the Oriental Port was now also affected by the interruption of trade between the two sides, and he could see the idle operators next to the steam cranes, and a large number of porters on the wharf were resting by the bollards, and there were not many ships in the entire dock area. As a seasoned captain and businessman, he certainly knew what the current situation meant, and he could guess that the Chinese were also having a headache about this matter at the moment.

"Mr. Miro, may I ask what is the important matter of your visit to Oriental Port this time?" The port attendant put down the receiver and turned around and asked. "The Executive Committee wants to know the purpose of your visit to Oriental Harbor."

"Oh," a smile suddenly appeared on Miro's face, "That's right, I am submitting you a diplomatic document on behalf of Medeno to clarify ......" Before he could finish speaking, the port attendant in front of him gestured to him to stop talking, and at the same time put the earpiece to his ear and asked, "Chief, I don't understand what he said, can I let him speak to you directly?" ”

After a while, Miro saw the port attendant nodding repeatedly, and then handed the earpiece headset to him, "You can tell the executive committee yourself." ”

Miro couldn't help but feel excited, he wanted to try it himself when he saw him using this thing just now, and he got his wish so quickly, so he hurriedly picked up one of the things and stuffed it into his ear, and was about to speak but was interrupted by the port attendant opposite, "You are a microphone, which is used for speaking, and this is an earpiece, which is used to listen to sound." As he spoke, he took down the thing in his hand and stuffed it into another cylinder, and then he was afraid that he didn't know how to use it, so he gestured again and again.

Miro couldn't help but smile bitterly, put the earpiece to his ear, and was about to speak into the microphone, but he heard a voice from the earpiece first, "Hello, you are Miro?" ”

"Yes, yes," Miro couldn't help but feel excited, the effect of this thing transmitting sound is too good, it's really like a person sitting next to him talking, this thing is too easy to use, but it's too troublesome to have a thread in the middle, but it's not a big problem, isn't it? However, he also knew that now was not the time to sigh for this thing, so he hurriedly said into the microphone, "I am Myropolis, salute to the Senate." ”

Yang Minghuan couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, stretched out his hand to plug in the cable of the loudspeaker, and Miro's voice immediately sounded in the office of the executive committee, "I came to Dongfang Port to deliver a diplomatic document at the request of the Medeno Committee, I want to clarify and apologize for our fleet's wrong attack on your fleet some time ago, and hope to allow us to enter Dongfang Port to negotiate with the Executive Committee to discuss a solution to this misunderstanding." ”

The ship department is not not a ghost, the enemy hates to make trouble, and the stars are picked

"You guys?" Du Yande keenly captured the word, "How many of you are still there?" Why do you come to Vostochny Port? Is it really here to submit diplomatic documents and negotiate an armistice, or do you want to get us together and do it all? ”

An hour later, the delegation checked into the guest house in the Oriental Port Trade Zone, and looked at the police and soldiers who were lining up downstairs in the guest house, and Miro couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

Although Du Yande's words were very unpleasant, they very directly pointed out the worries of several executive committee members, which made Miro choke on the spot and didn't know how to answer. After a while, he said, "We are a country that stresses credibility, respects the treaties between countries, and will definitely not make such indiscriminate means, please believe me." ”

Yang Minghuan interrupted him, "I'm sorry, because what your country did before caused us to suffer very serious losses when we were raided, so we need to question your sincerity in negotiations now." You can enter the Oriental Port Trade Zone and the Harbour Zone, but other places are not allowed to enter at the moment, and you can stay in the Guest House in the Trade Zone for the time being, but you need to be accompanied by someone from us when you go out, and you are not allowed to spy on information. Do you think such conditions are acceptable? ”

Miro nodded hurriedly, but then remembered that the other side didn't seem to be able to see him, so he said again, "Yes, it's acceptable." Behind him stood a man in a cloak, much thinner than Miro, and now he was shrouded in a cloak that made him completely invisible. The man didn't say a word, stood there and looked at Miro's slightly gaffe expression, then quietly stepped forward, patted him lightly on the shoulder and whispered, "Although we are here to negotiate, we can't lose momentum at the beginning." The voice was low, but it sounded crisp and pleasant, not at all like a man's voice, but similar to a woman's voice.

The porter couldn't help but look at this person in a daze, but after the other party said this, he stopped speaking, and he didn't take off the hood from his cloak at all, so he couldn't see the details of this person at all. But Miro turned his head to look at the man as if he had been struck by electricity, and after a long time, he made up his mind and said into the microphone, "Yes, yes, it's acceptable." ”

Reminded by the person behind him, of course Miro knew the meaning of this person's words, that is, although he came to ask for peace through the commission of the committee, he couldn't just lower his profile from the beginning, otherwise he would definitely be trampled on by the other party at the beginning of the negotiation and desperately blackmailed. As an old loach who has been rolling in the business all year round, of course he knows the mystery here.

An hour later, the delegation checked into the guest house in the Oriental Port Business Zone, and looked at the police and military personnel lining up downstairs in the guest house, Miro couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

He had no way to refuse such a condition, after all, now the initiative was in the hands of the Chinese. Before setting out for the Oriental Port, Mycenae had already explained to him that with the capabilities of the existing Wenshan Port fleet, it was not impossible to capture the Eastern Port, but the losses would be very huge, and once the Chinese were annoyed, who knows if they still have a "decisive battle weapon" that has not been displayed? When the time comes, no one can guarantee that the Medenor people will be able to withstand it. Although the Medeno people set up Meedno-style infantry battalions one after another in Wenshan Port, at the level of these Annan soldiers, General Russell, who was in charge of training and command, also said that only one or two Marine Musket Battalions composed of Meedno people could easily defeat ten Annan infantry battalions, and these Annan infantry battalions were purely used as consumables, which could be used to delay the speed of the northern Annan and reduce the casualties of the Medeno themselves. This time, after Shu Da led more than a dozen foreign legion rebels to flee to Wenshan Port, the military strength they showed surprised Russell, he did not expect that the Chinese's ability to train the army was so strong, and now he has been convinced why Zhao Ximin's 100,000 army at that time would lose outside a fortress, but even the city wall did not break the skin, because their opponents did not rely only on sharp weapons, but their military quality was indeed very strong.

Since Russell can also be sure that the marine troops in Wenshan Port cannot compete with the same number of squadrons, then the Maidno people will definitely not be able to take advantage of the land battle, even if the army is forced to capture Chenggang and Dongfang Port, it is estimated that it will suffer heavy losses like the navy.

The problem now is that the Medeno people need the products of the Oriental Port, not a city, even if they capture the Oriental Port through hard fighting, the Chinese will not leave the production equipment to them to capture, so the Oriental Port must be a mess, and a large number of damaged production equipment and factories will not play a role in the slightest. Capturing a meaningless city at such a heavy cost is simply not worth it for the profit-conscious people of Maidenor.

Although the Medeno people can only jam the neck of the Chinese from the raw materials for production, Miro knows that this is just an illusion, although the sea route carries the largest weight and transports the most goods at one time, but it cannot hold the ant-like transportation method of the land route. Shortly after the beginning of the year, he heard that the Chinese sent caravans north to win over Wuguo, which undoubtedly smelled dangerous for him, these Chinese certainly did not go north to play the landscape, for such a group of heavy merchants, going north for only one purpose: to open up trade routes, to find new sales markets and to strive for more sources of raw materials.

Sure enough, the legendary "northbound detachment" quickly opened up the joints of Anbei and Beihai, and through the relationship between Beihai and Guangdong. In the middle of the year, the Chinese dispatched the Dongfeng, which they had not moved since they arrived, and transported thousands of people and thousands of tons of supplies to Xiangdao.

For the merchants at sea, the terrain of Xiangdao is too good to describe in words, it is an excellent natural deep-water port, and even the mountain-like Dongfeng can easily enter the bay for mooring, not to mention the fleets of other forces. As soon as the Chinese construction army arrived at Xiangdao and Kowloon, they went on a construction spree, and in this place called "Hong Kong" by the Chinese, they pulled up barbed wire, set up large swaths of camps, rows of houses were built almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon there were smooth roads, then trestle bridges that stretched deep into the bay, and then stone piers. The last time Miro arrived and was driven away, he had already seen railroad tracks being laid near the dock, which only showed one thing, that the Chinese wanted to build the kind of steel crane that would emit black or white smoke, just like the Oriental Port wharf.

The Chinese's actions have clearly declared to them the Chinese's control of the sea**, and the Chinese claim that Hong Kong is geographically very close to Mingzhou, that goods from Guangxi can enter the Pearl River through the Xijiang River and then enter Mingzhou, and that goods from Mingzhou can reach Hong Kong directly by the Pearl River waterway or by land bypassing Xin'an County. Since discovering that the Chinese had opened the Oriental Port to all merchants to enter and trade, the Medeno people sent a fleet to cruise the arc from the Leizhou Peninsula to the Wenshan Port, prohibiting all non-Medeno ships from entering this area to protect the Medeno people's monopoly on "Chinese goods". At first, the Chinese seemed to accept this scheme, but soon the Dongfeng took over the work of the previous Wu Dynasty merchants, loading raw materials and personnel directly from Hong Kong, and then directly to the port of the East to unload the goods.

Although Miro has not seen the Dongfeng unloading materials, but those who have seen it say that it is simply terrible, the crane in the port keeps spewing white smoke, lifting one huge container after another from the open cabin, and then put it on the flat car waiting aside, the most terrible thing is that the hull of the Dongfeng is wide, and at the same time it can ensure that the cranes on the left and right docks work at the same time, and the loading and unloading time can be said to be more than doubled. The steam locomotive, which also spews black and white smoke, drags a long line of laden flatbed trucks to drag the humble production raw materials to the industrial area, and at the same time hauls containers of grain to the grain depot near the old district in the west of the city.

This Chinese efficiency shocked Miro again and again, and before the emergence of these Chinese, he had always thought that the maritime cities of Medeno and the industrial cities of Yaning had the highest efficiency, but when the Chinese appeared, he could feel that those places were as backward and inefficient as the rural blacksmith shops that Europa had seen.

The Chinese Dongfeng obviously failed the artificial monopoly method of the Medeno people, and the fleet could intercept those junk ships of the Wu Dynasty, but they did not dare to stop this kind of steel giant ship the size of the mountain, just a head is several circles larger than themselves, let alone collide, some small ships are afraid that they will set off a big wave into the cabin. The method of using Hong Kong as a transit point for the Chinese has obviously achieved very good results, first of all, merchants must reduce the great risk of transporting raw materials or goods to Hong Kong, even the active mountain bandits of the Wu Dynasty are not as dangerous as being robbed by pirates at sea, not to mention that the northbound detachment has exterminated a lot of mountain bandits along the way, and now that the road is safe, the merchants would rather sell for less money and are willing to ship the goods directly to Hong Kong; The Chinese can openly buy grain and raw materials in the new city established by the machine, without being hindered by the transportation of the Medenor cargo ship, and the shipping of the Dongfeng can be carried on a Medeno cargo ship for more than a month at a time, and the price can be more favorable, why not?
