It has become an indisputable fact that two warships of the East China Sea Fleet are stationed on Hong Kong Island.

Whether it is the Zheng family in Fujian or the Portuguese in Australia, how unwilling they are to accept this reality.

However, the East China Sea Fleet has been relatively low-key since its stationing, and even now the two battleships have not left the port for a single cruise mission.

This also puzzled the Portuguese on the other side of the sea, these Australians came all the way to the east, just to let the two warships lie in the harbor and sleep, don't they have any other ideas.

The more this calm environment is, the more unsettling it feels, especially the Zheng family, who has had a conflict with Australia and a good deprivation of the banner of the imperial court before the war, who knows what Australia thinks at this time, will he be waiting for the opportunity to be surprised.

Compared with the Zheng family's uneasiness, the grape people in Macao are much better, after all, there are no other festivals between the two sides, and in the past two years, the merchant ships of the Portuguese Far East have also transported many migrant workers to Australia, and the cooperation between the two sides has been in a very pleasant environment.

They believe that the Australians will never make trouble for no reason, and if they want to have a grudge, they will first look for the Spaniards.

As for why, it is said that the group of Blackwater soldiers, who are famous in Southeast Asia, came in and expanded their activities to Luzon, which made the local colonial government very dissatisfied, and the two sides even almost clashed hands at one point.

Therefore, they are not worried that the Australians will station two warships in Hong Kong, but they are worried that they have other plans, which will completely break the current sphere of influence in the East China Sea.

It can be said that in the entire East China Sea now, in addition to the Zheng family, which is a well-deserved maritime overlord, the second place is definitely Portugal's, don't look at the Dutch running over from time to time to fight the autumn wind, but they don't have a supply island here.

With the great construction of Hong Kong Island, all forces have sent their spies to enter Hong Kong Island disguised as various workers or food sellers, just to find out why the Australian warship has been parked at the pier without moving.

When these spies and spies entered Hong Kong, they were immediately dumbfounded, how could the island be said to be a big construction site, everywhere was gray, basically every one or two hundred meters you could see a place of workers building all kinds of houses and factories, sweating hard there.

The two warships they were looking for were quietly docked in the harbor, except for the two dozen soldiers who were standing guard nearby, they couldn't see any changes at all from their appearances.

What is depressing is that the temporary certificate system implemented in Hong Kong, except for the worker, the rest of the unrelated people will basically be politely asked out at night, and they don't want everyone to live here at night, even if you work on the floor.

This mysterious phenomenon once again gave hope to the spies, as if they would solve a big secret of Australia's old Australia if they could stay at night, and they disguised themselves as workers for various reasons, and then stayed.

In the dead of night, when all the construction sites were closed and no one was visible, they quietly slipped out of the shed and slowly touched the dock area.

Finding that there was indeed movement by the dock, the two warships docked in the harbor did not know when the mooring position had changed, and at this time the dock was brightly lit, and the two dozen or so soldiers guarding during the day could clearly see that it was twice as large.

They seemed to be moving something from the warship, rectangular boxes, one box, two boxes, ten boxes, what was that, mirrors, not like, how much the spies hoped in their hearts at this time that the Australian old man in the port would open the box and let them see what was inside.

I don't know if the Australian old man heard their inner call and shout or what, a young man who seemed to be an officer by the port asked the two people carrying the box to put it down, and then took out a shovel and knocked the box open.

He then took out a black and shiny musket from the box and looked at it, then reloaded it with ammunition and aimed it in the direction where the Spy was hiding from peeping.

This action almost scared the spy to death, and he thought that the other party had discovered him, but after careful observation and confirmation, the other party did not find out.

With a thud of gunshot, the officer pulled the trigger, hitting the trunk of a stunted tree next to the spy.

Muskets, these boxes were actually filled with muskets, and the spy instantly understood that there was something wrong with these Australians, and now it was certain that the two warships were not always docked in the docks, but would go out to sea to transport muskets to Hong Kong at night.

Do they want to start a war by doing this, the spy had a question in his heart, thinking that what Blackwater did was really possible, Blackwater mercenaries are famous for starting wars.

At present, it is not difficult for others to think so, after all, such an Australian old man is a-stirring stick, and his favorite thing to do is to insert a kick.

It's not impossible to stick their feet in Daming now, if that's really the case, then it can explain why their warships don't go to sea during the day, and they always dock at the dock.

When the spies sent their latest news back to their superiors, they sent the news to their respective governors or merchants.

After a thorough analysis, everyone finally felt that it was impossible to combine the intelligence gathered from other places, and the Australians did not move to transport troops to Hong Kong in a big way, which means that they did not want to fight, so it is very likely that so many weapons are exported.

Australia's firearms are famous, whether in the eyes of European countries or the Ming Dynasty, everyone knows, figured out this, immediately someone began to act, if it is really sold, then they must buy the most firearms, these firearms can be sold at a good price no matter where they are shipped.

The Portuguese thought that they could not be afraid of the Spanish army by buying firearms, and the Spaniards thought that with advanced firearms they could suppress the independence of the Netherlands and Portugal, of course, the Dutch also thought so, now it depends on who buys first, and the one who buys the most must be the winner in the end.

So they sent their own representatives to Hong Kong to negotiate with the Australians, who needed the firearms, even if the offer was high.

Not long ago, the National Security Council officially approved the regulations restricting the export of weapons, according to which the weapons can be exported as long as they are replaced, which can be regarded as a lot of good news for the military industry and the military
