It's really not that difficult to transport experts and businessmen looking at investments to the confluence of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.

No country can afford to ignore such a large fleet going there, especially since this is the well-known 'Invincible Armada'. Even after learning that this fleet had come to its own land, before the war began, the Ottoman Empire directly set aside a military port as a place for this fleet to dock. Like India, the port was 'leased' to the republic and only one gold coin per year was required.

Speaking of which, this area was also snatched in the hands of the Arabs after the Ottoman expansion, and it is not painful to sell Yetian, and the rebel army has been very fierce recently, and it is difficult to say whether it can be kept here...... But the official will not say that, the great Ottoman Empire is invincible!

Yes, it was a symbol of friendship, symbolizing that the Ottoman Empire had become a strategic partner of the republic. In the future, you can buy all kinds of good things from the East, and these goods are actually equivalent to golden gold in the eyes of many people!

"The Marines have been resettled, and our men have recruited a group of locals to build this military port and camp, as required by Congress. The start-up capital has already been shipped here, and there will be more merchant ships coming here to resupply it in the future...... Can we leave? Zheng Chenggong looked at Liu Ruoqi.

"I think it shouldn't be a problem for us to leave for a few days...... It's hard to say that there won't be any accidents in the vast sea, and if the return voyage is delayed for a few days due to a storm or other reasons, it shouldn't be said anything. Liu Ruoqi said with a smile.

The two profiteers smiled and returned to their respective fleets.

The next day, the fleet finally left the port, but instead of returning east, it headed south.

Seriously, due to population and troop resources, the Republic has not been able to enter Africa, and the Indian Ocean Fleet has only patrolled around North Africa. The only peace of mind is that you have enough fuel with you to sail for an ocean voyage plus a return voyage, or at least enough to return to the Red Sea to the military port near the mouth of the Indian Ocean.

At this time, North Africa, with the help of European colonizers, had established large and small coastal cities.

The first arrival of the Republic's fleet was Mogadishu, an important Portuguese port city in North Africa and later the capital of Somalia.

One can imagine what kind of expressions the people here will look like when such a behemoth arrives here. Especially the Portuguese who couldn't bear to live with the yellow monkeys and left the South Seas to come here. A fleet of this size is still their nightmare even now.

"God, is that damn republic going to do something to Africa?" When the Portuguese consul in Mogadishu received the report, he cried out with his head in grief.

"Report to the Chief...... They seem to have just come to resupply. The subordinate was a little uncertain.

"Give whatever you want, as long as they don't fire, don't send their marines ashore!" The consul immediately stood up and shouted.

"Your command is my qiē!" The subordinate received the order and immediately ran out of the office.

Thirty minutes later, a large amount of food, fresh water, and coal, all arrived at the port with the Portuguese garrison, and as ordered by the consul, one qiē was free.

"Well, the people here are so welcoming...... We really can't ......" Zheng Chenggong couldn't cry or laugh, this consul is too cute, right?

"No, at least we are not fit to start a formal war with Europe at the moment!" Liu Ruoqi glared at him.

In fact, even he was itching in his heart, and he really wanted to land in this city and make a big fuss like several other ancestors...... It's a pity that the conditions don't allow it, and if you delay too much time here, maybe the Manchus in the south will get the news...... Even if you think about it, they don't seem to have a good way to deal with it.

In the end, it is to save some face for His Majesty, after all, he said that he would not make a move on Africa. In any case, it will have to be formally vetoed by the National Assembly, and a formal letter from Europe will be given before it can be moved. Otherwise, even if they say they are acting on their own, others will believe it? In this way, there will be a stain on Majesty's life, and Majesty must be a perfect person in this life.

So, after completing the supplement, I continued to go south.

Hearing that the fleet had departed, the consul seemed to see that God had really heard his prayers, and at that moment, he went from a shallow believer to a devout believer. And the garrison here watched the republic's fleet leave like this, although the mood was really unhappy, but in fact, it was also a sigh of relief.

The army of this country, the weapons are too powerful...... I really don't know when Europe will be able to catch up with them.

All the way south, passing through Mombasa, the second largest city in Kenya in the future, there is actually a Chinese expatriate settlement here, and there are about 30,000 Chinese expatriates living here, all of whom crossed the ocean during the Song and Yuan dynasties and came to settle here. Generations of them have lived here, doing business here, and even opening a money bank.

Then they arrived at the port of Mozambique, an important port city of the future Republic of Mozambique, where there was nothing special, except that when they landed at the port, a black man said that if the republic supported their independence, then they would be willing to follow the example of India and submit to the republic. At that time, Zheng Chenggong and Liu Ruoqi knew that there were many African aborigines here who rebelled against the Portuguese, and they were very fierce.

On the other side of the coast is the port of Madagascar, which is really very desolate, except for the water and food that can be replenished, the crew has no desire to get off the ship and sleep for a night......

On the other hand, Sofala is more prosperous in the south, after all, it is the largest city in Mozambique and the most controlled city by the Portuguese. Of course, it is also more afraid of the survival of the fleet of the republic.

Along the way, the private work of the fleet of the Republic has been looted a lot, and it seems that the consuls are not stingy with local products or something.

So, when the Manchu Empire fell south in South Africa, all kinds of African origins, such as coffee, cocoa nuts, and cashew nuts...... Strictly speaking, many of them were transplanted by colonists in South America, but they still thrive.

"Seriously, I remember the first time I drank coffee, it was in His Majesty's study ten years ago...... It's similar to traditional Chinese medicine...... I added a lot of milk and sugar. Looking at the thousands of coffee trees in the cabin, Liu Ruoqi talked to Zheng Chenggong on the walkie-talkie.

"I remember that at that time, His Majesty was not able to leave Huaxia, right? Where does coffee come from? Zheng Chenggong asked.

"According to the statement at the time, he bought it. There's actually a canned instant coffee, and I prefer the one that has been milked and sweetened and tweaked to suit my taste. Liu Ruoqi replied.

"Yashan Society?" Zheng Chenggong mentioned, after all, everyone now knows the existence of this mysterious Yashan Society.

"It should be, from that time onwards, the Yashan Society has been of great help to His Majesty's career." Liu Ruoqi returned.

"Seriously, I also have a question now, and I'm sure many people have ...... Why don't you choose me? Zheng Chenggong smiled bitterly.

"Luck is also part of strength!" Liu Ruoqi smiled.

"Strength against the sky!" Zheng Chenggong shrugged.

"So, he became emperor, and we fought for him under his subordinates." Liu Ruoqi didn't mean anything else, if it wasn't for him back then, he might have starved to death.

"Boom!" , and an explosion was heard nearby.

"What's the situation? Enemy attack!? Liu Ruoqi shouted.

"I don't know, a clipper boat on our side has been bombed, and there is a lot of water in the bottom warehouse, which is draining and rescuing!" The first mate reports on the walkie-talkie.

"Where is the enemy, what does the lookout do to eat!" Liu Ruoqi roared angrily.

"Our lookouts have been watching with all their hearts, but there is no enemy on the sea! It was a sunny day, the line of sight was very good, and he could be sure that there were no enemies within three nautical miles around, and even further away he could be sure that he had not found any enemies! The first mate replied immediately.

"Boom!" There was another explosion, and even Liu Ruoqi felt that his feet were shaking.

"Enemy attack, the enemy does not seem to be on the sea, but there is indeed an enemy's existence! Damn, will they not be able to stealth?! The first mate's voice came again.

"No, they are in the sea, the enemy is in the sea!" Zheng Chenggong seemed to think of something and shouted loudly.
