Chapter 194: Opening Ceremony (4) - Humiliation

Then there is Andong Province, which deserves to be the first in terms of sea area. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info from New Caledonia in the southwest Pacific Ocean to Oahu, Hawaii in the Northeast Pacific. From 160 degrees east longitude to 120 degrees west longitude. From 30 degrees north latitude to 30 degrees south latitude. This vast sea area belongs to Andong Province in its entirety.

Due to the wide range, the Ming Dynasty did not make detailed statistics on the population. However, after the end of the Nanyang War, the Ming Dynasty moved more than 500,000 people from the Nanyang region to Andong Province. Sprinkled on thousands of small islands, not even a single blister. Together with the indigenous people of Andong Province, the population is at least 600,000.

The eleventh is Annam, with 323,000 people. The area is neither the largest nor the smallest. The population is neither the largest nor the least. It is located south of the Ming Dynasty and is not on the main traffic road. It is the province with the least sense of existence among all the administrative regions of the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps because of this, the Annam provincial team wears uniform green straw hats. It is especially conspicuous among the hairless teams.

Seeing that the success attracted attention, those team members, led by the flag bearer, took off their straw hats and threw them at the nearest spectator seat. This caused the audience to cheer and grab the straw hats enthusiastically.

It was the first time for Yang Chong to see the 'green hat' so sought-after, and he was still vying to wear it on his head. I can't help but laugh.

The last to appear was the Nanyang Military District, which had a population of about 400,000 before the invasion of Vietnam. It should now break through half a thousand. It consists of Jinshan Town, North Sumatra Town, South Sumatra Town, East Java Town, West Java Town, and Sulawesi Town.

After the Ming Dynasty, only towns were set up in areas other than provinces and municipalities directly under the central government, and the level was lower than that of the provinces, but higher than the prefecture-level cities below. It's somewhere in between. The headquarters of the garrison was located in Batavia and did not have a capital.

After introducing the administrative region of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yanran and Sister Fuliu paid attention to the countries of the world that entered.

Portugal, known as a friendly country, is the second country to enter after the Ming Dynasty. Since the establishment of the Maluku Autonomous Region in Ming and Portuguese, the relations between the two countries have developed by leaps and bounds. Daming commodities are also sold to the European continent with Portugal as a springboard. Some industrial equipment was also smuggled back to Daming through it.

But none of this compares to Portugal's spice harvest! Especially after the Ming Dynasty and Britain continued to fight at sea, the British North Maluku Islands were completely reduced to a group of isolated islands. All the merchant ships that left the island were very coincidentally buried at the bottom of the sea.

For this reason, Britain also made representations to the Ming Dynasty. As a result, Daming shirked and said that it was too much wind and waves in the South Seas.

Of course, this is complete nonsense. Because the geostrophic deflection force in the equatorial region is close to zero and the updraft is dominant, it is a windless zone. Da Ming also wrote this as scientific knowledge in textbooks.

Now that Da Ming says this, isn't it a slap in the face?

But even if Britain sees through the lies of the Ming Dynasty, it will be useless. Unless Britain lifts the blockade of the Indian Ocean region, the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, the merchant ships of North Maluku will always encounter 'wind and waves'.

As a neutral country, Portugal has a good relationship with Britain and the Ming Dynasty. And the Ming and Britain also wanted to transport the spices from their islands. It was very tacitly agreed to give Portugal a few thin noodles and allowed Portuguese merchant ships to transport spices.

As a result, the spice trade in Europe is now almost entirely monopolized by Portugal. The huge profits in this made the Portuguese maritime merchants wake up with a smile when they slept. When the Netherlands were still in the South Seas, they Portugal, for this spice, fought with the Dutch a lot. It's just that it was weak in the end and couldn't beat the Netherlands.

But it didn't work out. The current spice trade is so easily monopolized by them. I feel like I'm going to be knocked out by the gold.

So much so that the Portuguese maritime merchants were secretly praying, hoping that the Ming and Britain could be blockaded forever. In this way, Portugal can continue to make huge profits.

It's just that the reality is not subject to human will! The Ming Dynasty and Britain had a war after all. No matter who wins, this blockade will be broken. When the time comes, the Portuguese dream will come to an end.

And this time is not far off!

Turning their gaze back to the stadium, the third country to appear was Siam. It was supposed to be from Burma, but because of the assassination of the Burmese prince, all the Burmese players brought with him left for home. Even the Myanmar ambassador to Daming was urgently recalled to China before the opening of the Games. At present, there are no Burmese people in the Burmese embassy except for some cleaning subordinates.

At this time, Magorny and Philip represented the United Kingdom, sitting in a more remote part of the VIP desk. They knew that this was deliberately arranged by the Ming Dynasty, otherwise with the status of the British, it would not be possible to be treated like this.

Philip also wanted to find Yang Chong's theory, but was stopped by Magorny. In his opinion, Yang Chong must be like those Ming officials, saying rambling clichés, without a single word of practicality. Even if you listen patiently, you won't change seats for them in the end.

Therefore, if it comes, it will be safe. Or enjoy this high-level sports meeting.

And opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared! Even if you're sitting in a remote corner, you'll still find opportunities that you can't miss. This is not! After the Siamese team entered the stadium, Magorny saw the Siamese ambassador's face without a smile.

This made the scheming Magorny smell something different. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he smiled like a fox.

Philip had been following the movement in the room, but had not noticed Magorny's reaction. However, he saw France play after Siam, and his face was a little ugly. Angrily said to Magorny: "Mr. Count, look! Britain has not yet come out, France has already appeared. What a disgrace to our British Empire! ”。

When Magorny heard this, he smiled. Persuade Philip to take a long-term view and not fight for the moment.

Unfortunately, Philip didn't listen at all.

As a result, after the whole sports meeting, Philip was so angry that his face turned red. Like a swollen ball, it will explode at any moment. Because Da Ming arranged Britain to play last! Not to mention the Sultanate of Johor, the United States of America on the other side of the ocean, a country formed by damned traitors, is even ahead of the British Empire.

Let him, the ambassador of the empire, suddenly feel disgraced.

But apart from him, most of the audience was happy. As a result, it was announced on the radio that the opening ceremony of the Games was over, and the audience was still a little reluctant.

At this time, around the gymnasium, a round of colorful flames was ignited. Fire Table. Perform. Spell out a beautiful message of blessings in the deep night sky.

(I wish all readers happiness in this reunion festival!) Thank you for your company and support, which has made this book so far. )
