The Liuhe wharf in the north of Jiading City is very lively, and the cargo ships dock here, with the help of those simple lifting machinery, unload the rails, cement, and various building materials, and then gallop away from the wharf, turning and sailing towards the mouth of the Yangtze River. [No pop-up novel network]

The Wusongkou wharf in the east of Jiading City also sailed into a series of cargo ships, but compared to the Naliuhe wharf, it was much quieter, and around the wharf, there were countless heavily armed soldiers patrolling.

"Slow down, be careful, be careful with me." The captain of the cargo ship shouted loudly, for fear that the personnel who carried the goods would accidentally damage these precious and important machinery.

"And you guys, you have to be careful, that thing must not be tilted, if not, the things inside will spill out, it will kill people." On the other hand, the first mate of these porters sent by the military was also repeatedly reminded.

And Mei Acai, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the Special 1st Division, who was in charge of escorting these things, stretched out his hand and scratched his scalp, and said with some breathlessness: "Grandma, what are these things, making you so shocked." ”

"Commander, what these things are, it's not for us to know, don't forget what the division commander said when he asked us to escort us." Next to him, Liang Pingshun, the political commissar of the regiment, lowered his voice.

Mei Acai was suddenly dumbfounded, and glared at Liang Pingshun with some unwillingness: "Nonsense, of course I know, I'm just curious to ask." By the way, you kid has always been a ghostly fond, do you know what these things are? It's so grand, and we actually want to let our special division go out. ”

Liang Pingshun glanced around and saw that the guards were far away, so he leaned into Namei Acai's ear and whispered: "I don't know the specifics, but listening to the teacher, it seems to be a communication tool that can let adults know things thousands of miles away at the first time." ”

"Damn, it can't be nonsense, right?" Hearing Liang Pingshun's words, Mei Acai couldn't help but widen his eyes and said. "This thing has no legs and no wings, can it be faster than a carrier pigeon?"

"Do you think the young master would talk nonsense about such a thing?" Liang Pingshun glanced at this one and snorted.

“…… Grandma's, so godly? "Mei Acai didn't believe that these metal things in the wooden box could be so magical.

"I've only heard, and I can't guess this thing is capable of this. However, I think the young master said so, so it must be true. Liang Pingshun replied in a low voice. This was agreed by Mei Acai, and in their minds, Liang Pengfei, the eldest young master, could almost be regarded as an omnipotent and omniscient god. So far, there is really nothing that is difficult to live with Young Master Liang.

The line from the provinces to Jiading has begun to erect poles, and from Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other southern provinces and provincial capitals to Jiading line pole work has been completed, as long as the communication cables are in place, I believe that at most two months, these lines can be laid.

And because the communication cable should be given priority to the main trunk lines of the provinces, the state and county line projects in the provinces can only be postponed. But this is about to happen, and the level of communication in China has far exceeded the world average.

For the time being, Liang Pengfei has not yet taken the cable telegraph to register any patents in the West, because he does not want to expose this communication tool that far exceeds the level of modern communication to the eyes of Westerners prematurely, at least before the land of China is covered with telegraph lines.

"Lao Tzu doesn't want to be a capital enemy for a little royalty." Liang Pengfei boasted to himself patriotically.

However, Liang Pengfei really does not want Westerners to obtain this technology, even if he gives more money, it is not as leading as science and technology, which Liang Pengfei, who has seen the scientific and technological blockade of Europe and the United States on the mainland in later generations, understands this truth very well.

Early the next morning, Liang Pengfei waited for the British to agree to cooperate, and after fierce debate and discussion, in the end, Liang Pengfei made a bloody heart, and promised the British to restore the Arakan State, which was destroyed by Burma more than ten years ago, and originally belonged to the Arakanese Kingdom, and the southern areas of Rakhine State and Chin State, which are now occupied by Burma, will be colonized by the British. The Chinese Empire recognized the British colonial rights over the Arakanese.

In addition, Liang Pengfei agreed to return the states of Muzoram and Manipur, which originally belonged to the Arakan State, to the Arakan State, and the British had to hand over their British colonies in the Penang area to Chinese rule, which was equivalent to replacing the colonies.

And the basis of all this, that is, the premise of the implementation of the treaty, is that the British must send at least 10,000 British troops from southern Burma to attack Burma and capture Rakhine State and southern Chin State. Attract Burmese heavy troops to the south. Only when the British had done all this would Liang Pengfei recognize the validity of the Jiading Treaty signed by the two sides.

For the originally uneasy British, Liang Pengfei's treaty is really a joy and sorrow, because the British Empire has lost nearly ninety percent of their colonies in the East, and Liang Pengfei threw out these conditions, so that they can at least see a glimmer of hope, although this area is not as rich in products as India, nor as rich in minerals as Nanyang, but at least the territory is more than a hundred times better than Penang, which is small and inactive.

Moreover, not long after the destruction of the Arakan Kingdom, those who originally belonged to the Arakan Kingdom were very disgusted with the rule of Burma, and rebellions could be said to be commonplace.

Although the monarch of Myanmar had a great headache, he could not give up after eating the fat in his mouth, so he naturally calmed and soothed, but with little effect.

All of this is the best place for the British East India Company, which is now much weaker than it was two and a half years ago.

You know, when the royal family of the Arakanese Kingdom was broken, they fled to the Portuguese colony to seek refuge, and they knew this, if in the name of the Arakanese royal family, then the British East India Company could fully fulfill the treaty with its existing strength and the help of those Arakanese nationals.

Although it took only one day to sign this document, known as the Sino-British Jiading Treaty, the bargaining and brain-racking of each other are really not enough for outsiders.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

But all this, whether it is the side of the Chinese Empire represented by Ni Ming and Sun Shijie, or the Viscount Edmund and Macartney on the side of the British East India Company, although all this has kept the poor unlucky Burmese king Meng Yun in the dark, but those Western colonists who are still stranded in Jiading have become witnesses to this Jiading Treaty, which represents the capriciousness of the British, and Liang Pengfei's hands turned into clouds and hands turned into rain.

For them, their attitude towards Liang Pengfei can only be described as more fearful and respectful, and for the British, who had always been resentful and contemptuous of their compatriots on this island outside the European continent in their minds, now they have deepened this impression and are more vigilant against the capriciousness of the British.

Later, under Liang Pengfei's deliberate publicity, the image of the British in the East can be said to have fallen to the bottom, and even those Indian princely princes who were originally under the rule of other Western colonizers who were eye-to-eye with the British saw the true and ugly face of the British, and finally broke off the idea of deep friendship and cooperation with the British.

As for the Arakanese Kingdom that Liang Pengfei promised the British to colonize, with the help of the British, after the re-establishment of the country, they began to be brutally exploited by the British colonialists, because they wanted to use the wealth and property of the Arakanese Kingdom to make up for their loss of India.

Although the British colonists controlled the puppet royal family, Liang Pengfei also had a backhand in it, and through Portugal, which was friendly with the Arakan royal family, he had already connected with Duren Ladu, the royal family of the Arakan Kingdom.

In the years after the British helped the Arakanese establish the state, because of the frenzied plunder and irresponsible rule of the British colonists, the king of the Arakanese kingdom, Duren Ladu, finally gave up his illusions about the British and turned to the Chinese Empire, which had occupied the Indochina Peninsula.

In just a few years, the British Empire was once again cornered by Liang Pengfei's successive overturns, and had to leave the territory of the Arakan Kingdom in humiliation and recognize the reading power of the Arakan Kingdom. Of course, this is a later story, and now, after Liang Pengfei received those cargo ships, merchant ships and warships that finally came to the East from Europe after more than a year, plus the warships that have been built in the Hong Kong shipyard, Liang Pengfei finally feels a little satisfied with his sea power, at least, Liang Pengfei feels that his maritime military power is not inferior to any European maritime power.

At this time, Liang Pengfei received urgent military information from the New World as quickly as possible, the United States of America had sent an expeditionary force to attack the colonies of the Chinese Empire in the New World, and in addition, the news through the intelligence stations planted by Spain on the west coast also came back at the same time, a large number of United States of America fleet, through the Caribbean south, and then contacted the expeditionary force, everything, self-evident, can only prove one thing, The United States of America seems to be eager to cut off the power of the Chinese Empire in the New World at once.

Liang Pengfei and the Imperial Staff Headquarters were not too surprised by this news, after all, Liang Pengfei had already issued an order to replenish military equipment and armed personnel to the New World.

Since the completion of the shipyard, the Hong Kong shipyard has successively built all the warships that leave the shipyard, and all of them have sailed to the New World three months ago, in order to replenish the sea power of the New World.
