What happened in the port of Hedeland was under the control of Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

While Jack was inciting the workers to make trouble in Port Hedland, Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault were tasting wine from the Republic of China in the Black Swan Castle on Penglai Island.

"The alcohol content of this wine is so high that I feel like my whole body is burning......" Old Renault was a little drunk and hazy.

Compared with French wines and champagnes, the liquor content of the Republic of China is too high.

In fact, there is also liquor in France, and the liquor in France is white wine, which is the so-called "brandy", and the French call white wine "cognac", which is basically about 40 degrees.

The liquor of the Republic of China is different, no matter what kind of liquor it is, it is basically above 50 degrees, which is too high for the old Renault, who is used to drinking some low-intensity wine.

For the high number of liquor, Qin Zhiyuan is willing: "If you drink it slowly, you can understand the Chinese wine culture." ”

In the past, Qin Zhiyuan didn't drink a drop of alcohol, but with the gradual improvement of his status, Qin Zhiyuan often drinks a little now, of course, not excessively, Qin Zhiyuan has a lot of self-control, and the amount of each time is at most two taels, not more.

With Qin Zhiyuan's status, no one dared to fight with Qin Zhiyuan.

"Ha, I don't want to understand this kind of culture, it's too profound." Old Renault's words were a bit insincere.

"As long as there is moderation, it is not a problem." Qin Zhiyuan replied casually.

With the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Lao Renault, there is no need to weigh every word you say, to be honest, Qin Zhiyuan is more relaxed when facing Lao Renault than facing Foch.

"What if the Hedland affair is resolved by force by the Paz government?" Old Renault had something on his mind, and he really couldn't drink it.

What happened in Perth has exceeded the bottom line of many people, and both Western Australia and the Australian government have enough reasons to use force to solve it. At that time, the workers in Jack's hands may not be able to resist.

Although the old Renault is in a high position, after all, he is a businessman in his bones, and what businessmen are most afraid of is the use of force, which is greatly beyond the scope of business.

"If it's the use of force, then you don't have to worry, the Australians' 'Anzac' may be good, but to be honest, I didn't take it to heart." Qin Zhiyuan's expression was relaxed.

Compared with the old Renault, who is a businessman in his bones, Qin Zhiyuan is a soldier, and using force to solve problems is what Qin Zhiyuan is best at.

If the Australian government chooses to use force to settle the Port of Hedland, then it just gives Qin Zhiyuan enough excuse to make the last trace of guilt in Qin Zhiyuan's heart disappear.

That's right, as the initiator of all this, Qin Zhiyuan can be decisive, but in the same way, as a person with a clear conscience, Qin Zhiyuan will also feel guilty when making these decisions.

Of course, guilt is guilt, but when it is necessary to be decisive, Qin Zhiyuan has always performed well, Qin Zhiyuan is not an indecisive person, and in the face of national interests, a little guilt does not mean much.

This may be called "hard-hearted", but if there is no iron-heartedness, Qin Zhiyuan would not be able to do the job of an agent before, you know, agents are often hidden in the dark, and what they do is even more disgraceful.

"So you're prepared?" Old Renault was curious.

"Of course, there are preparations, at present, there are nearly 4,000 people in the port of Hedland, including nearly 1,000 Chinese, and in a week, there will be 3,000 Chinese who will arrive in the port of Hedland by ship." Qin Zhiyuan's heart was really black.

"You...... Are you going to provoke a war with England? It's not a smart choice. The sorrow on Old Renault's face was even worse.

Maybe in ten or twenty years, Lan Fang has the strength to challenge England, but it is definitely not now, the current Lan Fang does not have the slightest ability to resist in the face of England, and the unrivaled fleet of the British alone can blockade Lan Fang to death.

Australia is currently a member of the British Commonwealth, and although it has a high degree of autonomy, it is nominally not independent, or under the jurisdiction of the British, and if there are too many Chinese in the port of Hedland, then the British can be regarded as such

"Who said I was going to war with the British? What do those people have to do with me? It was all a worker hired by Jack, and it was a private matter between them. Qin Zhiyuan categorically denied it.

"You...... You...... You ......" It was obvious that Old Renault was surprised by Qin Zhiyuan's shamelessness.

"Don't worry about you, me, or me, even if there are a lot of Orientals in Hedeland Harbor, they are just Annamite, and they have nothing to do with the Chinese, and even if the British want to be held responsible, they can only go to Bastian." Qin Zhiyuan's original form was revealed.

Well, in another time and space, the PLA once cheated the Americans so badly.

In the eyes of Westerners, the facial contours of Orientals are too blurred, and they all look almost the same, even if someone is captured in the war, Qin Zhiyuan can flatly deny it, and under the premise of having the support of the French, it is not easy for the British to be angry with Qin Zhiyuan.

The British and the French are indeed allies, but the French don't mind looking at the British jokes, just like decades ago, the French didn't mind helping the Americans disgust the British.

"Well, you managed to refresh your image in my heart, I have to say, in this regard...... Wowhahaha, the two of us are the same kind of people! Old Renault finally confirmed again.

In fact, a long time ago, Old Renault had already confirmed that he and Qin Zhiyuan were the same kind of people.

"Hehe, in terms of military affairs, to be honest, I'm the expert, so let Jack toss, if the British want to use force, then the rest will be handled by me." Qin Zhiyuan has a big package.

"I'm afraid Jack is so aggressive because he has too much confidence." Old Renault wasted no time in sending a high hat.

Regarding Qin Zhiyuan's military ability, there is no doubt in the world now, if you want to find a soldier who can be recognized by the whole world, it is undoubtedly Qin Zhiyuan, even Qin Zhiyuan's enemies must admit this.

Ah, no, the Japanese would certainly not agree to this, unless Qin Zhiyuan conquered Tokyo.

It was not yet time to conquer Tokyo, but Qin Zhiyuan did not want the Japanese to be too free, so the not very powerful Lanfang Navy began to sweep the islands in the South China Sea.

South China Sea......

Well, from Lan Fang's point of view, it doesn't seem appropriate to call that vast area of water the "South China Sea", which is called the "North Sea" in Lan Fang's official documents.

There is no longer a dispute about the ownership of the islands in the North Sea, although the famous "nine-dash line" has not yet appeared at this time, but when the Germans began surveying the North Sea a hundred years ago, the Qing Empire at that time had already claimed sovereignty.

In another time and space, because the ownership of Beihai has caused all kinds of farces, it is impossible for Qin Zhiyuan not to know, so Qin Zhiyuan is very concerned about Beihai.

It was only after returning to Lanfang that Qin Zhiyuan learned that at this time, there was actually a group of Japanese living on the Beihai Islands.

That's right, it's the Japanese, and it's on the famous "Taiping Island".

Almost ten years ago, the Japanese entered the North Sea to mine the rich phosphate ore on Taiping Island, the Qing government at that time had been too busy to take care of itself, and its own life and death began to appear in crisis, so naturally there was no spare energy to pay attention to the North Sea, so the Japanese took the opportunity to land on the island to mine phosphate rock, and it has not been mined until now.

Qin Zhiyuan knew the value of Beihai, so Beihai was in Qin Zhiyuan's heart, and Beihai absolutely could not afford to lose, so after Qin Zhiyuan knew that the Japanese were mining phosphate ore on Taiping Island, he immediately sent warships to Taiping Island to expel the Japanese on Taiping Island.

The sky was blue, the blue waves were like a wash, and Xie Rundong, the captain of the "Han River", was in a very good mood.

The "Han River" is an American-built Vickers-class destroyer and the main warship in the Lanfang Navy.

Xie Rundong himself is a cutting-edge captain in the Lanfang Navy, Xie Rundong went to the United Kingdom from the Republic of China five years ago, joined the British Royal Navy until Qin Zhiyuan joined the Foreign Legion.

At that time, many Chinese studying in Europe joined the Foreign Legion, and Xie Rundong was one of them.

Because of Xie Rundong's naval service experience, he was immediately trained as the backbone of the Corsican Navy at that time, and after serving as the first mate on the "Yangtze River" for half a year, Xie Rundong began to independently command the battleship and became the captain of the "Han River".

"Sir, it's still five nautical miles from Taiping Island." First mate Jia Zhengqing put down the rangefinder report in his hand.

The rangefinder is a commonly used ranging tool at this time, which will be used until World War II, the main principle is triangulation ranging, the use of the rangefinder does not need to be temporarily calculated, as long as it is converted against the reading, it is simple and convenient.

By the way, at this time, all the officers and soldiers on the "Han River" were Chinese, and this was also the first batch of all-Chinese classes of the Lanfang Navy.

"Keep going." Xie Rundong, who was sitting on the high chair, cherished words like gold.

After the training of the British Royal Navy, Xie Rundong was inevitably contaminated with some British Royal Navy traditions, such as not calling "captain" and "sir", which is one of the traditions of many old officers.

"Yes, sir." Jia Zhengqing had a good attitude, turned around and continued to pick up the binoculars to observe.

In fact, at this distance, using a telescope can already see the figure on Taiping Island.

Perhaps because they saw a warship coming, the Japanese on Taiping Island were a little excited, and someone waved on the improvised lighthouse.

At this time, in the North Sea, or in the entire waters of the Republic of China at this time, almost all the warships that could be seen were Japanese warships, and the warships of the Republic of China were only symbolic forces.

So when the Japanese on Taiping Island saw a warship approaching, his first reaction was: Oh, our warship is here again......

Again!

Well, what an unscrupulous word.

However, the Japanese on the island did not get excited for long, and it was clear that the national flag and military flag above the "Han River" reminded the Japanese that this was not a Japanese warship, but a warship Lanfang that had been demonized in Japan.

As the relationship between Lanfang and Japan continues to be bad, Lanfang has become synonymous with "demons" and "ghost animals" in Japan, although many Japanese people have not even come into contact with Lanfang people, but it does not prevent the Japanese from hating Lanfang people.

Although the annihilation of the 6th Division in the Mediterranean Sea is so far a headless public case, in Japan, the culprit has been identified as Ranfang, and although the Japanese government has never said so, the Japanese government has not banned the spread of rumors that have spread throughout society, and has not banned the media covering the whole country from publicizing this matter.

Freedom of speech......

So after seeing the tricolor flag above the "Han River", there was obvious movement on the lighthouse, and then you could see people running around Taiping Island, and even people with weapons in their hands, gathering behind the breastwork wall built around Taiping Island.

This......

Against a warship armed to the teeth, does it really work with a rifle?

The Japanese on Taiping Island were also dizzy.

Faced with this situation, Xie Rundong did not hesitate and ordered to send a small boat according to the original plan to prepare to land on the island to expel the Japanese.

In order to prevent accidents, Xie Rundong ordered the ship's guns to fire deterratively in the direction of Taiping Island.

It's really a deterrent, if you fire directly at Taiping Island, well, just these hundreds of Japanese, it's really not enough for a few shelling.

The area of Taiping Island is less than 0.5 square kilometers, and if calculated according to the power of the main gun of the "Han River", it only takes about ten shells to cover the entire Taiping Island.

Sure enough, when the main guns of the "Han River" opened fire, the Japanese on the island immediately fell into even greater chaos, but fortunately, the Japanese had not lost their minds, and they did not shoot in the direction of the "Han River", otherwise it would be tantamount to an armed resistance, and Xie Rundong would have dealt with them in the same way as pirates.

"Listen to the people on the island, this is Lanfang's inherent territory, your current behavior has violated Lanfang's sovereignty, you must leave immediately, otherwise we will use force to expel ......" The soldiers on the boat did not land directly, but shouted around Taiping Island with a loudspeaker.

The soldiers who shouted were in Chinese, so there was no need to worry that the Japanese could not understand it, in fact, many Japanese people knew Chinese, and you must know that a hundred years ago, knowing Chinese was even a very noble thing in Japan.

After hearing the shouts of the Lanfang warriors, the Japanese on the island became even more confused, and after a while, some people left the breastwork and came to the dinghy to negotiate with the Lanfang soldiers.

"Sir, the Japanese asked for ten days for them to pack their things." Jia Zhengqing continued to report.

"No, they don't have ten days, I only give them half an hour, and within half an hour, they must leave Taiping Island, otherwise we will treat it as if they were invaded." Xie Rundong did not hesitate and was not prepared to give the Japanese enough time.

The Japanese didn't talk much nonsense, they didn't even care about the phosphate rock that was not transported, and they just withdrew from Taiping Island in a hurry.

Just as the Japanese fishing boat had left Taiping Island, the soldiers from the small boat sent by the "Han River" began to land, and these were the soldiers of the Marine Corps, and from now on, they were to be stationed on Taiping Island.
