Kimaranshi couldn't help but look at Bao Ling, Wang Feng said ruthlessly, and asked to send warships to talk, but Portugal was small and weak, but it was extremely greedy in plundering the colony, which caused its inability to protect the interests of the colony.

In history, Portugal was once more brilliant than Britain, in addition to Macau and Nagasaki, Japan, Africa, Latin America, India, Southeast Asia and West Asia have its colonies, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, first of all, the Congolese people saw through the weak nature of Portugal, launched an uprising, got rid of Portuguese colonial rule, and then made matters worse, Spain and France invaded Portugal proper, the Portuguese royal family fled overseas for refuge, Brazil took the opportunity to become independent, and was recognized by the United States, and then the country declined all the way, and the colonies continued to be lost.

So far, with the exception of Macau, which was forcibly reclaimed by the NLD forces, Portugal only owns Cape Verde, Sao Tome Principe, Guinea-Bissau, Angola and Mozambique in Africa, Goa and Damandiu in India and East Timor in Asia.

It's still living in the cracks of the great powers.

In addition, due to the obedient and easy rule of blacks, the African continent is rich in resources, and the competition between European powers for Africa is also extremely fierce, forcing Portugal to invest its only naval forces in Africa.

Today, Wang Feng asked Portugal to send warships to talk, if he wants to talk, he can only transfer limited military forces to the Far East, but the interests of Africa are related to Portugal's national capital, for the sake of a small place, and there are no resources, the consequences of the transfer are quite terrifying, not only the local people will revolt, but Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands and other powers will also take advantage of the weakness, how dare he!

Kimarians can only ask for help from Bao Ling!

Bao Ling nodded knowingly and said, "Mr. Wang Feng, can I understand that you have already declared war on European countries?" ”

Wang Feng said lightly: "It is you who declared war. It was you who plotted to split China and provoked the conflict in the first place. Although we have taken the overall situation into consideration and have repeatedly tolerated it. But you regard forbearance as weakness, so we have no choice but to fight back forcefully, and I warn you one last time that the artillery fire is blind, and if your personnel insist on not withdrawing from Canton, then all losses and casualties should be borne by you. ”

"Well, I'll think about it seriously! Gentlemen, the basis for negotiations no longer exists, let's go back! Wang Feng's tough attitude made Bao Ling realize that there was no need to talk about it. He beckoned with a gloomy face.

The faces of the rest of the people were not very good-looking, and they followed Bao Ling towards the city, especially Kimar Liangshi, he never expected Wang Feng to be so tough.

There were six people when they came, and only five were left when they left, and after the figure faded out of sight, Zhou Xiuying couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly become so tough?" Aren't you afraid that the foreigners in Xiangshan Port will really withdraw? What if the great powers intervene? ”

Wang Feng smiled: "Those foreigners are worthless, and after more than two years, our technicians have basically learned all their skills." Why bother with eating and drinking? Moreover, there are foreigners, and many of our new technologies are tied up in both experiments and production, so I very much hope that the United States and France will withdraw personnel from Xiangshan Port.

As for the possibility of intervention by the great powers, I think it is small. Now the military forces of the Great Powers in the Far East are quite weak, France has only one cruiser, and Britain has suffered a crushing defeat against our army. Not only was the East India Company a mess, but I also heard that the princely states of India were about to move. The situation was extremely tense and the uprising was on the verge of eruption. How could Britain draw forces from India against us again? And it is even more impossible to draw from the mainland, Russia is the number one enemy of Britain in Europe!

Of course, Britain has a complete navy in Singapore, but he can't afford the consequences of defeat, he will never fight with us alone, and the United States and Britain have a lot of contradictions, and there is no fundamental conflict of interest with us, so the United States will not easily enter the war, Portugal's power is too weak to be negligible, Spain has nothing to do with us, even if he participates in the British and French war against our army, he must go through a lot of exchange of interests and negotiations, this is a rather long and uncertain process, in my estimate, Even if the great powers finally come to an agreement, it will be at least a few years before the coalition forces are sent, and when we have our own battleships, do we still need to worry? ”

"Well, you have a point." Zhou Xiuying nodded.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief!" At this time, a special combat team member rushed to the head of the city and saluted: "Commander Lin Fengxiang urgently reported that the brothers of the Fifth Army learned in Qingyuan County two days ago that some Yao villagers accidentally discovered that someone was building a dam in the area of Feilai Gorge in the Qingyuan section of the Beijiang River when they went up the mountain to chop firewood, so they sent people to secretly investigate. ”

"Qingyuan County? Flying to the Gap? Wang Feng frowned.

Qingyuan is only more than 70 kilometers away from Guangzhou, Feilai Gorge is a little closer, and the Beijiang River is the second largest river in the Pearl River water system, the river is deep and wide, and the water is abundant, but in the canyon, the width is only more than 100 meters at the narrowest, and the average water depth in winter is 20 or 30 meters.

However, the situation of Feilai Gorge is very special, there is a sandbar at the sharp bend of the river, and the water depth is only two to three meters during the dry season, and if it is not cost, it is indeed possible to build a simple dam with thousands of manpower.

But the question is, where did these people come from, and what do they want to do at such a point in time?

Wang Feng and Zhou Xiuying exchanged glances.

Zhou Xiuying immediately snorted coldly: "Ye Mingchen is so vicious, the terrain of Qingyuan County is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and the water is bound by dams, although it is now the dry season, but the upstream must have accumulated a considerable amount of water, once our army launches an attack, he will open a dam to release water, and the rolling torrent can be swept in half a day, this will not only be swept away by our army by surprise, I am afraid that the lower reaches of the Beijiang River, and even the whole city of Guangzhou will fall into floods, and the casualties will be incalculable, such a person, in order to win by unscrupulous means, should be killed!" ”

Wang Feng's face also became gloomy, and he asked, "How much has the dam been completed?" ”

The characteristic team member replied: "The main body is basically finished, and only a few spills remain. ”

Wang Feng couldn't help but gasp, this is a time bomb buried beside him, the person who can come up with this kind of poisonous plan is ruthless enough! If the Beijiang flood breaks out, it can be compared to the two major tragedies of burning Changsha and bursting the embankment at Huayuankou in the War of Resistance Against Japan!

After a little hesitation, Wang Feng turned his head and said, "Ask Ding Daquan to send a few people to find out the situation and draw a topographic map." ”

"Yes!" The special combat team members saluted and left, and soon found Ding Daquan, who also realized the seriousness of the problem, personally took a few good hands who were good at climbing mountains and mountains, and rushed to Qingyuan County on the same day

The total length of Feilai Gorge is about six kilometers, the waterway is curved, the narrowest point is only 150 meters, the cliffs on both sides of the strait are facing each other, not to mention people, even apes are difficult to climb, but in this moat, a dam appeared out of thin air.

Looking at the rough and simple dam, Zeng Guoquan breathed a long sigh of relief, he didn't expect that this trip to lurk into Guangdong would be so hard, there is no need to mention the food and sleeping in the open, before he came, he had a full consciousness, out of Jiangxi, into the territory of northern Guangdong, but even more day and night, for fear of exposing a little of his whereabouts, but the first war was not fought, and the 5,000 people brought were only 4,500 people left, most of whom were forced down the river along the turbulent stream, and the raft was either overturned by the current, or hit the mountain wall boulder, fell into the river and drowned!

You must know that in the turbulent section of the river, no matter how good the water is, although Guangdong in December is not yet cold, but the temperature of the water is already very low, falling into the river, even if you can struggle for a while with the water nature, you will eventually be numb to the cold, exhausted your strength and die.

Few people remained, except for a few tinkering with the dam, and most went into caves along the river, which is dominated by karst landscapes and has three caves.

Zhao Liewen is one of these few people, standing beside Zeng Guoquan, building a dam is his idea, after hearing about the number of troops sent by the Democratic Alliance Army, especially after the Democratic Alliance Army opened the way with artillery fire and forcibly broke through Shaoguan, he knew that the so-called 5,000 elite soldiers attacking the Democratic Alliance Army behind it was a joke, no war horses, lack of impact power, no artillery, lack of attack power, what to use to assault?

So he came up with a way to build a dam, which was also the only feasible method after consulting with Zeng Guoquan.

After looking at the dam for a while, Zeng Guoquan suddenly turned his head and asked: "Liewen, according to the news found outside, the Democratic Alliance Army did not move after taking Shaoguan and Huizhou, most of them were waiting for the follow-up grain, grass and ammunition to be delivered, I am afraid it will take a month or two, I am worried that it will change over time, and we will be trapped in the Jedi and none of them will be able to escape." ”

Zhao Liewen groaned slightly, and then said: "Although there are cliffs on all sides, it is difficult for people to reach here, and Liewen also believes that no one will risk going down the river from the upper stream, but it is too close to Guangzhou, and there will indeed be accidents after a long time."

But don't worry, the deputy marshal, even if the Democratic Alliance forces are lucky enough to find it, so what? You see, there are cliffs on both sides, and even if he can come up with some manpower, but the artillery can't be transported to the top of the mountain, how can he break through our army with manpower alone?

And if he concentrates his firepower to attack from the front, the first thing to be destroyed is the dam, not only his attacking troops will not be spared, but the downstream will also be thousands of miles of Zeguo, according to my opinion, most of the people in Guangzhou will rely on the head of the Democratic Alliance Army, Wang Feng will not be unexpected, unless he does not want to be famous, he will never dare to attack from the front. ”

"Good!" Zeng Guoquan shouted loudly, and then seemed to think of something, and asked: "What if the Democratic Alliance army goes around the upstream and goes down the river, and then blocks the exit with heavy troops in front?" ”

Zhao Liewen said coldly: "Heng and Vertical are all dead, we simply blew up the dam by ourselves and died with him, but Liewen expected that he would inevitably throw a rat trap and dare not attack it, and he couldn't bear the notoriety of flooding the city."

In short, if he doesn't find the dam, we can dig it while he is attacking the city fiercely, killing two birds with one stone, if he finds out, it doesn't matter, or he will not dare to storm Guangzhou, and the food in the army can be eaten until the beginning of next spring, and by then, he will have to withdraw from the army!
