The Marines of the Republic had landed, and all the merchant ships in the port had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

During the whole process, no one saw who was attacking the military port, only that a cannonball suddenly flew in the sky, and then directly sank an armed merchant ship. This range, the power of this kind of shell, is simply unheard of, and many people have even wondered if this is something that can be done by human-made warships.

However, this happened, when more than 20 warships of the Republic, led by five Dreadnought-class battleships, appeared on the horizon, and then came to the port, nearly 1,000 marines landed along the hill in full armor, and immediately seized the favorable terrain, and with the cooperation of the warships, Shunlì took the military port, as well as Cape Town, an important port city in South Africa behind the military port.

What would become the capital of Cape Town, South Africa's second largest city, fell completely.

It is a pity that this time the Republic did not go to war to occupy new territory, but to fight back against the enemy who dared to provoke the Republic. To put it bluntly, it's just a 'demonstration'. But as the saying goes, 'thieves don't go empty'...... Oh...... It should be called 'that little souvenir as evidence of the demonstration', so the navy of the Republic not only landed in Cape Town, but also went on a grand purchase. As long as it is a specialty here, or something more valuable, it is all bought.

Of course, the money to pay for the goods came from the government treasury in Cape Town.

As for the remaining valuable metal currency, such as gold and silver, or other precious stones, it is the military expenses of this war. Naturally, it is impossible for the Republic to pay for this, and the main culprit for the republic's grand 'demonstration' should pay for the military expenses for this war.

Watching boatloads of supplies loaded onto warships, Liu Ruoqian regretted why he blew up all the armed merchant ships, and at the same time kept sighing: "It seems, it seems, as if this military expenditure is not enough...... Do you want to ask for some more? ”

Then, silently look at the military map to see what other relatively large cities in South Africa have on the coast......

Obviously, the coast of the Manchu Empire was not at peace during this time. Able to shoot 20 nautical miles, which is equivalent to about 37 kilometers away, the enemy's support operation is doomed to be miserable.

Liu Ruoqi played very crazy, stayed in South Africa for ten days, and saw that the ship was already full, so he announced his return with unfinished business.

When the Emperor of the Manchu Empire, Fu Lin, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Galeries Lafayette, saw the military ports destroyed by artillery fire, and the looted cities, plus the people who were waiting to be fed, they didn't know how to deal with it. The republic has left them with a mess that they simply can't handle with the resources they have. To make matters worse, they lost all their navy, all their merchant ships......

"Sony, I think we went the wrong way from the start...... We, the Manchus, were nomads and should not play any naval battles. Let's move inland and give up the coast to the EU countries. We went all the way north, and the vast African continent could be our territory everywhere! After thinking about it for a long time, Hyozhuang made a decision.

"That's all it can be...... What about the refugees? Sonny sighed, then looked up and asked.

"If you are willing to go with us, you will take it, and if you are not willing to leave, then let the EU take over here to deal with it!" Xiaozhuang said very blandly.

In just one sentence, at least tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of indigenous people in Africa, are likely to starve to death, but they naturally don't care about these things.

The information of the naval battle in South Africa was eventually transmitted back to Europe and to the chambers of the coalition government of the European Union. All the allied countries were terrified, and while marveling at how the republic could build such a terrible warship, they also knew in their hearts that it was obvious that the republic also had the means to target submarines.

Most likely, the republic also has submarines...... Da Vinci studied all his life, and only came up with an idea, as well as a few immature design drafts. And the yellow monkeys of the Republic have already invented submarines that are very suitable for submarine operations?

God, is there any hope for Europe? Do we have to succumb to the lewd of the republic forever. Under the threat?!

Such thoughts filled the brains of most of the deputies, and the subconscious of the invincibility of the republic was deeply ingrained and lingered......

"We might be able to give them a credential, and the EU can give them a credential. They also have to do business, and we in Europe also have what they need. Even if we can't occupy India, occupy Southeast Asia, let alone make achievements in Asia. But we still control a large part of South America, as well as the whole of Africa. Even in the Arab and West Asian regions. In the Far East, His Majesty the Russian Emperor Alexei still occupies Siberia, and we don't have a lot of chips in our hands! One delegate immediately took the floor and proposed a proposal that had not been proposed before.

"You mean, we're going to compromise with the yellow-skinned guys and admit their dominance over India and Southeast Asia, and even North America?" Some people are immediately unhappy, basically they are representatives of great powerism, and they look down on the countries of the East.

"You don't know what I mean, we've only lost colonies, but we can't strictly say anything about flooding it with our citizens. The result of our compromise is nothing more than a loss of overseas glory and an overpayment of tariffs and so on. But what did we get, which of you thought? The representative shouted.

"You mean, the huge Oriental Market?" Some delegates immediately thought of something.

"Yes, the huge Oriental Market! The fertility of the Orientals is terrible, and they will soon fill Southeast Asia, and even India and the Americas. Their ability to create is even more impressive, they are able to make these places extremely prosperous in the shortest possible time, and then produce a large number of goods. Not to mention that they have a cashier machine, which can make the efficiency of development several times more efficient!

Guys, think about it! If we can live in peace with each other, then what awaits us is a prosperous America, a prosperous Southeast Asia and East Asia, and even a prosperous India. A large number of precious goods are constantly being shipped from there to our country......" said the representative excitedly.

"But at the same time we will lose the colony, and we will lose the gold of the colony! God, haven't you ever thought about why we are developing seafaring, because we need gold, a lot of gold! The British representative roared angrily.

"As far as I know, the republic does not use gold coins, but gradually uses a kind of paper money. Perhaps, we can slowly study the use of banknotes and control the use of banknotes. As long as gold is slowly eliminated from the trading behavior, then my demand for gold can be reduced. The representative of Tiyì immediately retorted.

"We don't have anything to do with our people to accept a piece of paper as their currency!" The representative of the United Kingdom objected.

"But we must try, unless you are willing to fight against the Republic and lose a vast market at the same time...... I represent the Ottoman Empire, and our king has clearly given instructions. If you can't figure it out, our country will withdraw from the European Union......" said the representative from the Ottoman Empire.

At that moment, the people were divided into two factions, one in favor of the Ottoman representatives, and the other in favor of the British representatives.

In the end, when the vote was held by a show of hands, a conclusion was reached: to give the republic a credential to discuss trade cooperation......
