Chapter 61: When the Navy Marches

India, a place that has not yet formed a real state, finally established a full-fledged regime with the help of the republic.

The name is the Kingdom of India, which cannot be called an empire, after all, in the early days of its establishment, it was a vassal to the republic and became a state of Fan. So far, no state has dared to openly establish an empire when the suzerainty is in full swing.

Ceylon has become the territory of the Republic, and several Indian outlets to the sea are also controlled by the Republic. Now the Empire's Indian Ocean Fleet is docked there, and in addition to regular patrols every day, it is basically ready to go. In fact, everyone knows that in Africa and the Arab region, there is no reason why the republic should not want to.

Earlier, not earlier, at least His Majesty never said that the republic has always wanted Africa, or even Europa. Not to mention, His Majesty has the power to dismiss it unless he uses his discretion three times a year, and he does not seem to have used this privilege......

Speaking of the news of the Manchu restoration, the Indian Ocean Fleet actually knew faster than the Congress.

It's just that they are the army of the empire, directly under the command of His Majesty the Emperor, with very strict military regulations and regulations. Before they were instructed, even if they knew about it, they could only wait silently.

"Isn't there any news from your majesty?" As the commander of this fleet, Liu Ruoqi asked the secretary when he came to the captain's room on a new day.

"No news yet, Commander...... Don't ask every other hour every day, okay? "The secretary was really annoyed, so he could only appeal for a while.

"I'm sorry, it's just that according to what I know about His Majesty, there's no reason why he would let the Manchu ......" Liu Ruoqi said apologetically.

In fact, he didn't...... Majesty's order! Outside the door, the adjutant walked in and brought orders from His Majesty the Emperor.

Liu Ruoqi immediately took the order and looked at it, then got up and ordered: "Immediately let those idle guys gather and prepare for us to welcome our colleagues in the East China Sea Navy!" Remember, if we lose face in the Indian Ocean Navy...... I'll make you feel good. โ€

"Yes!" Having seen the methods of this commander who was the head of the intelligence bureau, the adjutant shuddered just thinking about it, and just wanted to convey it quickly.

After receiving the order, the soldiers, who were already idle, finally cheered up and began to assemble quickly.

"Prepare to set off and greet your colleagues in the East China Sea Fleet! They were to arrive at the Red Sea with a group of experts and merchants to inspect and build a canal between Europa and the Indian Ocean. We, on the other hand, escort them all the way until they reach the Red Sea...... In fact, our commander felt that the area was very chaotic, especially since the Manchu Qing had recently restored the country, and with the help of the countries of Europa, he had more or less a few ships and began to work as a bandit...... As the Indian Ocean Fleet, we will pull out this hidden danger on the return trip and solve the troubles for the businessmen who will come to invest in the future, and I believe that Your Majesty will not blame you, right? The adjutant stood on the high platform and announced Liu Ruoqi's order.

I have to say that everyone's passion was ignited at this moment, and without saying a word, they began to devote themselves to the preparation stage.

As the army marched out, the Indians, who were looking for an opportunity to make a fortune in the port, began to panic. Only because this fleet is clearly not going on daily patrols, but on some combat mission. Once upon a time, this fleet brought them endless horrors, even more than those damned colonists. Even if everyone now knows that the eastern country has become their own suzerain, they still can't forget that period, after all, the time gap is still too short.

"I just hope that they are going to trouble other countries, and India can no longer withstand their toss...... "A monk on the street in India lamented.

Nowadays, India's imports and exports must be reported at the customs office opened by the Republic before they can be sold, and other countries must pay customs duties when they trade here, of which 70% of the Republic is for India, but 30% is intercepted as the cost of customs operations. It's just thirty percent, and it's also rich, but after all, seventy percent is ceded, so the people of India don't have any dissatisfaction with this, in fact, there is a customs that doesn't need to be worried, and for the emerging kingdom of India, which has almost no navy, it has increased their national income a lot.

Of course, there is a special case, and that is the republic...... MFN status, which does not require the payment of any customs duties, just ensures that illegal goods are not transported. In India, the only illegal material is beef. Cattle in India are messengers of God, so Indians don't eat beef, just like the Hui don't eat pork. Therefore, it is indeed illegal to sell beef here, but since the people don't eat it, then who will transport the beef that can't be sold?

In addition to beef, arms, opium, and other things that are absolutely prohibited in the Republic are not prohibited here, and they dare not ban them. The only way to do this is to issue a decree for the government to buy opium, and then see if the situation is for medicinal or other purposes, which is not something for the republic to worry about. Of course, the opium merchants of the republic are also designated by the royal family, and ordinary people who dare to sell opium without a trafficking license are punishable by death.

It is precisely because the Indian government wants to buy these opiums that seventy percent of the income left by the customs is gone in a blink of an eye...... I only hope that they can make money in the opium trade, and let them plague the small countries around India, and there is no need for the republic to be a villain.

On the second day of the departure of the Indian Ocean Fleet, the communication instrument and the East China Sea Fleet were quickly distinguished and converged.

The person who is talking about the East China Sea Fleet now is Zheng Chenggong, and at this moment he is also personally leading the team over, just to see the vast sea. After all, since he was born, he has never really left the East China Sea.

"Hello, Commander Zheng, in the coming days, I hope we can cooperate with the tacit understanding and complete the tasks assigned by the above." Liu Ruoqi came to Zheng Chenggong in person and said to him with a smile.

For this old minister of the hidden mansion, Zheng Chenggong didn't dare to get sรจ, but shook hands with him very modestly, and said that he would actively cooperate with the Indian Ocean Fleet.

"After sending the people to their destination, I plan to go south to fight the autumn breeze of the Manchu Qing Dynasty...... Are you going or not? But I hope that even if you don't go, you can help me with the report. As soon as he said two words, Liu Ruoqi went to Zheng Chenggong's ear and whispered to him.

"In such a prosperous world, how can I be missing? In fact, we brought not only specialists and businessmen, but also some initial supplies and weapons for self-defense...... And, of course, five hundred fellow marines...... I'm sure they won't mind going with us. Zheng Chenggong said with a smile.

"Hey, boy, you're good, you're very good at my appetite!" Liu Ruoqi patted Zheng Chenggong on the shoulder to express his importance to Zheng Chenggong.

In this way, the two of them have already carried the slogan of 'will not be subject to the foreign monarch', and they have openly and justly harmed the Manchu Qing Dynasty......
