“…… Did Wu Yuanyi go overboard in Africa? Completely ignoring the overall situation! ”

“…… I can't say that, I have always felt that Lao Wu is not a big problem, we want to gradually get rid of the dependence on European raw material imports and markets, we need to vigorously develop South Africa, sooner rather than later. It's our territory......"

“…… Was his governorship too long? Unauthorized intensification of such a big indigenous conflict, this time the loss is too great, I think it should be moved......"

Before the door to the congressional hearing was closed, the accusations or voices of favoritism could not wait to pour out.

After almost two hours of various inquiries, Wu Yuanyi's face was gloomy from the moment he walked out of the Capitol.

For a long time, the Governor of Nanshan was like a hard-working baby, providing a stable supply of raw materials and commodity markets for the local area, and played an important role as an economic hub for the Atlantic and Indian Ocean routes. When the eyes of the whole country were focused on the war in Europe, the conflict between the colonists and the natives led by the governor of Nanshan intensified in the "most inappropriate", which really caught the Chinese and American congresses off guard.

According to rough statistics, since August, more than 20 agricultural reclamation areas in various parts of the Nanshan Governor's Territory have been destroyed by different procedures, more than 100,000 mu of agricultural land have been forced to be abandoned, and hundreds of immigrants or foreign slave laborers have been killed or injured. If it weren't for the local Foreign Legion launching an attack in the middle of the night, I am afraid that the team sent by the Oriental Union Group from the mainland would have been swallowed up by the local indigenous blacks.

The good news of the Chinese and American European fleets was frequent, and the war in Ireland was basically no suspense, but the poor status quo of the Governor of Nanshan was even more abrupt and glaring in comparison. Army reinforcements from the mainland were about to arrive at Nanshan Port, and the recall of Wu Yuanyi at a critical time and a congressional hearing became the response of the Chinese and American Congresses, which caused a mess of trouble caused by the governor of Nanshan.

“…… A group of guys who were afraid of tigers and wolves knew that they were ...... afterthoughts" Wu Yuanyi sat back in the carriage. He glanced sideways at the door of the Capitol and couldn't help but spit lightly.

"Your Excellency the Governor, where are we going now?" A leading official of the Nanshan Governor, who accompanied Wu Yuanyi back to his homeland to participate in the hearing and debriefing, walked to the side of the car door, and saw that the governor's expression was very bad, so he hurriedly asked cautiously.

"In fact, it is precisely the opponents in Congress who should face up to the problem!" Wu Yuanyi changed his disdainful expression, and snorted coldly in his nose, "Just come back and relax...... We will return to Nanshan Harbor in half a month, and before that, Mr. Kean, you will personally deliver my invitation to all the guests on the list. ”

The moment the car door closes. A list slipped through the crack in the door, and the European officials outside the door quickly and carefully took it.

Wu Yuanyi's carriage drove away, and a group of soldiers in military uniforms walked up to the steps of the Capitol with high spirits, holding a stereotypical and fancy changing of the guard ceremony.

……

Monday, August 27, 1635.

Winter in the Southern Hemisphere is coming to an end, and the sea is hazy under rain clouds. Under the rain, the sea was blue and black, and a fleet of ships rose and fell in the waves, heading southeast.

This is a convoy of the Army Reinforcement Brigade sent from the mainland of North America to South Africa. In addition to the Navy's Sperm Whale transport, the other two are the five-masted large schooners unique to the Oriental Union Group.

The military operations of the Chinese and US navies in Europe have basically exhausted the navy's own transportation capacity, and in order to send this army reinforcement brigade of up to 2,500 troops to Nanshan Port as much as possible. Both the command of the Navy and the Ministry of Defense racked their brains. After urgently requisitioning the capacity of the state-owned ocean shipping group, the troops could only be temporarily sent to the twin ports of Butterfly Island, and then several Chaoyang-class large sail merchant ships hurriedly turned around and left.

In desperation, the transport ship Sperm Whale, which was carrying out routine maintenance at the Butterfly Island Naval Base, could only speed up the maintenance work. Then after waiting for half a month, Da Long requisitioned two five-masted large schooners from the Oriental Union Group, so that this overseas troop transfer operation that had been disrupted by the deployment rhythm would not be disgusted and paralyzed in the middle of the road. But even so. A month and a half has passed since the time when reinforcements were sent.

"Oooh! Damn, we're finally here! This bad trip should have been stopped in moderation a long time ago! ”

Directly in front of the fleet, the outline of land already faintly appeared on the sea level. Dressed in a rubber raincoat, Makarov kicked open the door of the cabin and walked into the crowded soldier's cabin with a stubbled beard.

"Why don't they 'delay' for half a month more? I think the beach on Butterfly Island is fantastic......" As a company sergeant major with status, Yu Shan, who was lying on the cramped bed frame, whistled, opened the curtains of the portholes around him, and poked his head outside, "Boss, I guess you have never seen those black people like monkeys in your life, hehe." ”

Yu Shan, who is over 30 years old, still has his unique gag style. In the cabin, the soldiers, who had been in the army for no more than two years, had been holding back in the heavy rain for several days, and they were all amused by Sergeant Yu Shan's playful tone at this time, and laughter broke out.

"You know what? I and your captain both came to Africa more than a decade ago...... Tsk, the people there are so dark, they're only here! Yu Shan turned over and jumped down, and directly pointed to the position of Makarov's chest sitting under the bed, his expression was very exaggerated, "Even if they stand up, they will not be longer than your rifle with bayonets." ”

"You well-informed idiot...... You mean, they're pretty much the same as the indigenous Caribbeans? Makarov was slightly stunned, looked at his chest, and felt that he really didn't have much say at this time, so he could only mutter, and felt out the wine bottle and began to pour it in a big gulp.

With the exception of a few Chinese soldiers who had also landed in Africa or Brazil during their childhood migration from the Ming Dynasty to North America, most of the officers and men turned their heads to the other side of the cabin to look at their battalion commander, Captain Qiao Yan.

"Hmm...... They looked thinner than the Iroquois or the Caribbeans, and were black, charred, but their teeth were white, as white as ceramic. Qiao Yan put down the book in his hand and pointed to the northwest with a smile, "Actually, there are such black people on those farms on the islands around Butterfly Island, but you haven't seen it before." ”

"Captain. If they are so weak, why would they attack local towns and farms? In the corner, a Chinese soldier suddenly raised his hand and asked, with a hint of nervousness on his shy face.

"There is still an hour to enter the port, Sergeant Major Makarov and Captain Qiao Yan, please come to the officers' cafeteria for a meeting!" The hatch opened, and a herald's head peeked in.

The soldiers, who had not yet received the "answer", were bored, and got up to make way for the two commanders, and packed their bags and weapons along the way.

"What a cold guy, I'm still waiting to see what Qiao Yan will say...... But. Private Private, no one should be able to answer your question, and maybe you'll embarrass Captain Qiao...... What is your name? ”

Qiao Xi and Makarov left, and Yu Shan began to perform his company management duties, beckoning the soldiers to get ready to get off the ship, and at the same time walked up to the soldier who had just asked the question, and patted each other's shoulders with a smile.

"Ren Xingzhong, Sergeant Major." The young soldier bowed his head slightly, a little embarrassed by the "sharp question" he had just inadvertently asked.

"The stationery smells good. It must have been given to you by a big girl, right? Glancing at a crumpled pink envelope that the other party was holding in his hand, the corners of Yu Shan's mouth turned up slightly, as if he had found an excuse to call for free labor, "It's not necessarily a good thing to have a woman to worry about!" My mother-in-law is bothering me all day long! You're affecting morale. Okay, help me pack my bags and I'll teach you how to coax the big girl. ”

"I'm sorry, Sergeant Major!" Ren Xingzhong hurriedly rubbed the envelope into the pocket of his military uniform. His face turned red, and everyone heard the conversation just now, and the cabin was suddenly full of laughter.

……

The smoke and rain are hazy. With more than 13,000 inhabitants, the port of Nanshan appears empty, except for two or three European sailing ships that are parked in the local area, except for a gorgeous short shirt-class clipper merchant ship quietly leaning on the dockside. Different from the lively loading and unloading scenery in the past, not only are there very few goods waiting to be transported on the wharf, but even most of the more than a dozen steam cranes at the wharf have turned off their flames, and they seem to have nothing to do.

Near noon, the Huamei African Brigade, consisting of 3 infantry battalions, 1 combat engineer battalion and 1 cavalry battalion, finally set foot on the land of Nanshan Port. In the drizzle, thousands of Nanshan Port citizens with umbrellas became the greeters of the support army under the leadership of the local governor's office bureaucrats. However, unlike any previous welcome ceremony, there was hardly any speech on the pier at this time, and everyone silently watched the Wehrmacht officers and soldiers who braved the light rain to walk up to the pier.

Perhaps since the immigration, I have only seen the Foreign Legion and the National Guard, so the arrival of this string of local defense forces, which seems to have no end in sight, actually makes most of the citizens of Nanshan Port who have never been to the mainland still a little nervous.

Military trailers laden with logistical baggage passed one after another; The cavalrymen, who were calming the horses that had just arrived and were still a little startled in the rain, had been soiled by the muddy water trampled by the horses' hooves; Groups of gun-carrying infantry, wet shoulders, marched in the middle of the welcoming crowd. Because of the rainy weather, the military music guide was abandoned, and the neat team was only left with heavy footsteps.

"Damn the African countryside, if it's homegrown, it's summer when it's so hot that you want to hang yourself! What's wrong with them, do they think we're here to rob? Makarov, who was a sergeant major of the African brigade, accompanied the brigade commander, Lieutenant Colonel Scott, on the dock, and was a little upset by the dull atmosphere in front of him, and couldn't help but vomit.

"Great, Lieutenant Colonel Scott! Welcome, and how excited I will be when I know that you are the commander-in-chief! ”

Harris, who temporarily replaced the senior administrator of the Governor of Nanshan, who was reporting on his work in the mainland, greeted him with a group of officials and took the initiative to shake hands quite affectionately.

"The feelings of the citizens look terrible." Scott looked around at the crowd of people with umbrellas around the port area, his brows furrowed slightly, "Are we late?" ”

"No, you came instantly." Harris looked around in embarrassment and lowered his voice, "Unfortunately, we only had a 'larger' funeral yesterday, the remains of the victims recovered by the Foreign Legion from the outer reclamation farms...... You know, these people have been dead for at least a month......"

"Well, I'm sorry and hope they all rest in peace...... The troops had been delayed on Butterfly Island for a while, and now I needed enough recuperation for the soldiers to acclimatize. I also need to be fully informed before I go into action. Scot nodded and beckoned to his adjutant, "The logistics are being unloaded quickly, and the camp and general headquarters are located on the eastern outskirts of the city. ”

"Oh, no, Lieutenant Colonel Scott, there are special military camps in the city, plus the barracks of the National Guard and the Foreign Legion, which can accommodate all the soldiers of the African Brigade." Harris hurriedly said on the side, thinking that Scott was disgusted by this unpleasant welcome ceremony, "Tonight, please attend a dinner at the Governor's Palace, when the police chief and the commander of the National Guard will give you a full explanation. ”

"You can wait a few days for dinner, but the most important thing now is to restore the confidence of the local citizens, if they know that there are five battalions of Wehrmacht guarding outside the city in the rain, their nervousness will be better." Scott smiled slightly, gave a military salute, and then walked towards the city with the officers of the command.

"Lieutenant Colonel Scott has brought a whole reinforced brigade, and if it can be resolved before His Excellency the Governor returns, it will be completely perfect." Looking at the backs of a large number of army officers and soldiers, Harris finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

"This city is about the same size as the city of Twin Ports on Butterfly Island, I really didn't expect it to appear in Africa, I thought the fleet changed direction halfway and returned to Butterfly Island." Yu Shan, who was organizing the company on the deck to prepare to disembark, couldn't help but sigh.

In front of the drizzly urban area, the city buildings of various heights prostrate in the depths of the rain curtain, and you can faintly see the dark green farms mixed with spots in the east of the city. Although the overall style is a little simpler and rougher than that of the mainland or other overseas territorial cities, it is already in the forefront of the country in terms of scale.

"Yu Shan! Captain Qiao Yan and Lieutenant Zhang have conveyed the order, and your company will disembark and pass through the city to set up camp in the eastern suburbs, and be responsible for protecting the baggage camp. On the side, Maddie, the battalion sergeant, came over and gave Yu Shan the latest instructions.

"Right next to the baggage camp, right? That's great! Yu Shan felt that he had finally gotten rid of the fate of being the vanguard, and he was very happy.

"Sergeant Major, why is it good next to the baggage camp?"

Ren Xingzhong couldn't help but raise the question again on the side. While asking the question, Ren Xingzhong's eyes happened to fall on the only flying clipper merchant ship flying a gorgeous flag not far from the port. In addition to the national flag, there are some pattern marks on the sails and masts that Ren Xingzhong is too familiar with.

"That means we're at least 3,000 meters from the front line, that's the best distance in the world!" Yu Shan snapped his fingers proudly, but found that the other party didn't seem to care about his answer, so he showed a trace of doubt, "Do you know that boat, private?" It looks like it's been idle for a long time. ”

"That's my family, and the raw materials seem to be out of stock......," Ren Xingzhong said lightly, as if he was distracted.

"Well, the big man's ship, I heard that the money earned from a round trip can pay the salaries of everyone in our company for a whole year, it seems to be the ...... of COSCO International Trade Group Wait, you said it's your family?! Yu Shan was following with emotion and envy, and suddenly seemed to hear something, slowly turned his head, and looked at the little soldier beside him, "Your name is Ren...... Ren Xingzhong? Your dad is ......."

The young master of the Ren family? Looking at Xiao Bing's slightly tender face, Yu Shan's eyes gradually lit up as if he had seen a baby.

"Okay, Ren Shao...... Xingzhong, don't be sad, we're here to solve the problem. From now on, you're following me, I need a smart herald by my side, and I think you're a good fit! Yu Shan hurriedly put on a bad smile, quickly took over his backpack that he had been carrying by the other party before, and raised his arm to Ren Xingzhong's shoulder, looking very affectionate, "The opponents are all savages, we will easily win, and when the time comes, your family's business will be restored again, and your father and mother will be proud of you!" ”

The drastic change in Yu Shan's attitude did not free Ren Xingzhong from some faint thoughts, but he occasionally looked back at his own merchant ship while getting off the ship. (To be continued)
