It's a mystery as to how much money Jack has now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mineral development in the Pilbara region was progressing rapidly, and under Jack's Golden Dollar Offensive, Jack had an almost innumerable number of manpower, and in just two years, from scratch, the Port of Hedland transported tens of thousands of tons of ore every day.

All of this ore was sent to Lanfang and France, not to England.

It's not that Jack doesn't sell to the British, Jack sells ore at a clear price, although the grade of the ore is good, but the price is really not low, and British companies don't want to buy it, but they really can't afford it.

It was not that Jack was deliberately trying to embarrass the British, the exact trading price of the ore in the Pilbara region was well documented, and the Lanfang and French did pay a higher price than the British, and whoever it was, had nothing to say on the subject.

Of course, as for whether there will be any insider trading in it, no one can say.

No matter what time it is, the one who has money is the uncle, so it is really not difficult for Jack to get a weapon, especially on the premise that Jack has a good relationship with the Lanfang people and the French.

In this comparison, the chances of winning for the Paz side are smaller.

Confirming this fact, Timothy no longer hesitated and immediately returned to Paz by boat.

Timothy wants to report the truth to the Perth City Council, and if the Perth City Council still decides to attack Port Hedland by force, then Timothy will also be considered to have fulfilled his responsibilities as a City Councillor of Pass.

On the night that Timothy left Port Hedland, Port Jusheng arrived at Port Hedland with a regiment of troops.

The regiment led by Zhu Shenggang was all composed of Chinese, and this force of about 3,500 men was simply a regiment that was directly retired from the Lanfang army sequence, and then was sent to Port Hedland.

The regiment was also the most combat-ready unit in Port Hedland.

Upon arrival in Port Hedland, Port Jusheng travels to Jack's "Governor's Palace" to discuss how to deal with the attack by the City of Pass.

In fact, strictly speaking, Jack is only the mayor of Port Hedland, not a "governor" at all, and even this mayor is self-appointed by Jack, and the current Port Hedland has no basic government agencies at all, and naturally there is no officially appointed mayor of Western Australia.

The entire Port Hedland city is a city built on a hill, and Jack's "Governor's House" is on the commanding heights of Port Hedland.

This is a three-storey castle-like building, the outer walls of the castle are all made of huge stone strips, the inside is reinforced with reinforced concrete, and the top is even specially reinforced to defend against the bombardment of aerial bombs and shells.

At the beginning of the design, Jack's "Governor's House" was the last line of defense for Port Hedland, and if the "Governor's House" was lost, it would mean that the National Guard of Port Hedland would abandon Port Hedland and start mountain warfare.

In fact, as far as the National Guard in Port Hedland is concerned, mountain guerrilla warfare is what they do best.

After all, most of the members of Port Hedland were miners, and it had become a habit for them to climb mountains and mountains, not to mention trekking through mountains and rivers, at least much better than the pampered National Guard in Pass.

At the same time, the miners are more familiar with the terrain around Port Hedland, the terrain near Port Hedland is also mostly mountainous, except for a railway direct to the Pilbara area, the sight of the city is full of endless mountains, just in the depths of those mountains, there are more than ten secret bases of the Port Hedland National Guard, those secret bases are enough to support the National Guard of Port Hedland to fight independently for many years, so Port Hedland is not a must, when necessary, The National Guard of Port Hedland would even abandon Port Hedland on its own initiative.

At the underground command post of the Governor's Palace, Zhu Shenggang met Chen Zhaoqiang and Jack who were looking at the sand table.

Chen Zhaoqiang and Zhu Shenggang are also old qualifications during the French Foreign Legion, these two are survivors of the Battle of Champagne Charlon, before coming to Port Hedland, Chen Zhaoqiang and Zhu Shenggang were already colonels, even if they were senior officers of Lanfang at that time, they had rich combat experience, and at the same time had tenacious fighting spirit, so they were entrusted with important tasks by Qin Zhiyuan.

Strictly speaking, the entire Governor's Palace should be seven floors, in addition to the three floors above ground, there are four layers of hidden buildings underground, which are far larger than the three floors above ground, and it can be said that the essence of the entire "Governor's Palace" is all in the four floors underground.

Seeing Zhu Shenggang enter the door, the excitement on Chen Zhaoqiang's face was mixed with expectation: "Are you ready?" ”

From the first day he was sent to Australia, Chen Zhaoqiang understood the special task on their shoulders, for two years, and now it is finally time for Chen Zhaoqiang and Zhu Shenggang to make their voices, Chen Zhaoqiang is really excited.

"Okay, Lao Wu took the third division to Funiu Mountain, and Lao Ruan took the fourth division to Ping'an Ridge, our troops will all arrive at the predetermined position within three days, as long as the Pasi people dare to come, we will beat them to death." Zhu Shenggang was confident, and he couldn't see the fatigue of the long journey on his face.

Zhu Shenggang and Chen Zhaoqiang are actually less than thirty years old, Zhu Shenggang looks a little younger as a deputy, his face is not bearded, and he is white and clean with black-framed glasses, which is very elegant; Chen Zhaoqiang is full of beard, in order to add some fierce atmosphere, Chen Zhaoqiang went to bask in the sun whenever he had the opportunity, and now he is almost like an African, plus the stubble left on his face deliberately not shaved clean, it looks really strong, standing there without speaking can make others feel pressure.

"Lao Wu" and "Lao Ruan" are both from Annam, one is called Wu Chengzhi, the other is called Ruan Xingfei, these two are also the old qualifications of the French Foreign Legion, after the Annan unit in the French Foreign Legion returned to Annan and disbanded on the spot, Wu Chengzhi and Ruan Xingfei went to Lanfang to join the Lanfang Foreign Legion, and now they have joined Lanfang nationality.

At Port Hedland, Vo Cheng Chi and Nguyen Hang Phet now lead a mountain infantry division of Annamite and Goryeo respectively, while Zhu Shenggang and Tran Siu Qiang lead a mountain infantry division of Annam and Chinese.

Mountain infantry is Qin Zhiyuan's newly established army, compared with ordinary infantry and mechanized infantry, mountain infantry is better at mountain warfare, they basically do not rely on transportation, two legs are their biggest weapon. At the same time, in terms of weapons, the mountain infantry is also different from the ordinary infantry, the mountain infantry is not equipped with heavy weapons, the French-made 75 mm gun is the largest weapon of the mountain infantry, the mountain infantry relies more on small arms and the enemy to maneuver in complex terrain, especially suitable for the terrain near Port Hedland.

As for "Funiu Mountain" and "Ping'an Ridge", these are the code names for the two bases set up by the Port Hedland National Guard around Port Hedland.

Before Jack and the others arrived at Port Hedland, the area around Port Hedland was still basically in a pristine state, and there were indeed many mountains, but basically they didn't even have a name, and even the entire Pilbara region, none of them had a clear name.

Since they settled in the Pilbara area, Chen Zhaoqiang and Zhu Shenggang regarded the Pilbara area as their own home, and those nameless barren mountains without names finally had fixed names.

Of course, because of the Chinese identity of Chen Zhaoqiang and Zhu Shenggang, these place names have a strong Han cultural color.

"There will be two ships coming over tonight, this is the last batch of supplies given to us by Paris, and four more ships will come over tomorrow Lanfang, and then we will not get large-scale supplies for a period of time in the future." Although he was confident in front of Timothy, Jack's expression was still solemn when it was time to actually fight.

There is no doubt that Jack's identity is indeed British, but he has a twisting relationship with the Renault family, so Jack will become the "Angel Jack".

Jack himself has no talent and no ambitions, which is why Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault chose Jack, in the two years in Port Hedland, Jack did a good job, although he didn't show any ability, but he didn't make any mess, basically competent.

"It doesn't matter, we have stored enough materials for us to use for three years on the side of Funiu Mountain, and at the same time, the arsenal on the Jianye side has begun trial operation, it won't be long before we can resist Path's attack even if there is no external support, I still don't believe it, with Pass's little foundation, they can force us to the point of exhaustion?" Chen Zhaoqiang hugged his arms and sneered at the sand table in front of him, and his disdain was overflowing.

The mines of the Pilbara region are not only producing iron ore, but also a treasure trove of associated mines, and it can be said that even without external support, the Pilbara region alone can form a powerful industrial base.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the Pilbara region has its own smelting capacity, and the current Pilbara region is only a smelter of a small scale, which of course cannot support large-scale industrial production, but if only military production is carried out, it is sufficient.

"I'm not worried about weapons, the main thing is food, we can't grow land after all, and the food is basically imported, if the port is blocked, our food may become a problem." Zhu Shenggang has his own worries.

The food problem is perhaps the only weakness of Port Hedland.

Previously, Port Hedland was positioned as an ore export, and the agricultural problem was never considered, and grain could still be imported in peacetime, and if it came to wartime, the food problem could really become a big problem.

Well, for the Chinese, if you don't get a piece of land to plant something, it really feels like life is not complete.
