Chapter 997: Arrangements for Condra

"Son, little Henry fled to England, we just need to send warships to ask for people, why don't we declare war, isn't this forcing England to the enemy's way?" In the temporary palace in the city of Rome, Su Zhe asked Zhao Jia with some puzzlement, although he was in charge of government affairs, as the prime minister, he also had the right to intervene in military matters.

"This ......" Zhao Jia also showed a hesitant expression when he heard this question, and only after a moment did he decide to tell the truth, "This matter really has nothing to do with me, when I came to Europe, my father personally told me one thing, if the development in Europe goes well, I must not let go of the car of England, and I will make it mandatory for them to all speak Chinese, and they are no longer allowed to use their native language, so we have to do it to England no matter what, since this is the case, It would be better to take advantage of this time that little Henry fled to England and tore his face directly, and he barely had a reason to do it. ”

"This ...... Why did His Royal Highness King Yue do something to the small country of England for no reason, does he have any grudges with England? Su Zhe couldn't help but say very strangely when he heard Zhao Jia's words.

"I don't know about this, but my father sometimes hates some people for no reason, for example, when the Jurchens were not doing well, he tried to destroy people, of course, it has been proved that my father is still very prescient." Zhao Jia said with a smile at this time, he had also asked his father about this matter, but unfortunately Zhao Yan just didn't tell him.

(Of course, Zhao Yan, who was far away in the Great Song Dynasty, would not tell Zhao Jia that the reason why he didn't like England and wanted to let English people speak Chinese was mainly because he hated English the most when he went to school in his previous life, and he even scored more than 40 points in English in the college entrance examination, so he could only go to a very poor university.) Otherwise, with his results in other subjects, Tsinghua University and Peking University can fight for it. )

Hearing Zhao Jia mention Zhao Yan's deal with the Jurchens, Su Zhe had no reason to object, because this matter represented that Zhao Yan had superhuman foresight, and this time he proposed to deal with the English, and he must have his own reasons. So don't bother with it.

"Uncle Su, how is the preparation of the fleet over there, when can I go back?" At this time, Zhao Jia suddenly asked again, Su Shi came here on a supply fleet last time, but the supply fleet still has to go back, and it is necessary to pass on the situation here, so Zhao Jia will ask.

"Don't worry, I came today to report this matter to you, and the fleet has been prepared. You can go back at any time, and when I came, another port had been built on the west side of Africa at Niutou Harbor, which could replenish the steamships with fuel and fresh water, and I calculated the distance, as long as we could occupy the Strait of Gibraltar and provide fuel and fresh water to replenish it, the steamers could reach us directly from the coast of the Great Song Dynasty. At that time, the two sides will be much more connected. Su Zhe said a little excitedly at this time, he came to Zhao Jia mainly to discuss the occupation of the Strait of Gibraltar. With the naval strength of the Great Song Dynasty, it was almost invincible on the European side.

"Huh? This is good news, since the African side is ready, we can't lag behind, and it just so happens that our warships are idle in the harbor except for some sent to England. This time it just came in handy! Zhao Jia was also very excited when he heard this, if the steamship was used throughout the whole process, then it was estimated that the longest time from Europe to the Great Song Dynasty would be only two or three months, which was far faster than the sailing ship.

"Well, since the prince has no objections. It's a pity that our time in Europe is too short for us to attack the Egyptian side, otherwise if we can open up the Suez Canal on the Egyptian side, then it will be more convenient for us to go back to the Great Song Dynasty. Su Zhe said a little greedily in the end, but he only sighed that before the current situation was stabilized, they would not use troops abroad.

After discussing the matter, Zhao Jia specially asked about the specific time when the fleet would go back, and then let Su Zhe go back to deal with government affairs. Early on the morning of the third day, Zhao Jia deliberately put down some affairs, and then came to the residence of the Condra family with Agnes.

"Agnes, Your Royal Highness, are you going to send us away?" Condra was having breakfast with his family, and when he saw Zhao Jia and Agnes coming in, he sighed and asked.

"Yes, the fleet will leave tomorrow, and we will leave for the port of Civitavecchia today, and they will send you to the Great Song, and then I will have someone prepare a house for you, and you will be well taken care of there, but if Agnes and I return to the Great Song, we can also visit you together." Zhao Jia nodded when he heard Condra's words, Condra's identity is too sensitive, and staying in Europe is always a hidden danger, so after discussing with Agnes, he decided to send them to the Great Song Dynasty, which can save a lot of trouble.

Condra actually guessed that Zhao Jia was going to send him to the Great Song Dynasty, so he was not surprised to hear this result, and he asked his wife to bring the usual items, and then followed Zhao Jia and them to the port for a day. For the departure of the eldest brother's family, Agnes was very silent, and only said a few words to a few nephews and nieces on the way, telling them to take care of themselves, but for her eldest brother, she still couldn't forgive the other party from the bottom of her heart, and she was even more reluctant to talk to him, for which Condra could only sigh helplessly.

"Hey, they're going to the Great Song Dynasty too?" The next morning, when Condra and his family had just arrived at the dock, they suddenly saw a group of people walking towards the boat not far away, and asked a little strangely, because the group was Pascal II and some important papal personnel.

"Yes, they are also leaving Europe, but they are not going to the Great Song Dynasty, but when they pass by a place called Niutougang, they will be left there, and it is estimated that they will never leave there again for the rest of their lives." Zhao Jia said with a smile at this time, Pascal II and these people will not be treated like the Condra family, but will be exiled to the side of Niutou Harbor, and I hope they can get along with the natives on the island happily.

Although Condra didn't know where the port was, he probably didn't think it was a good place, but the fate of Pascal II and these people had nothing to do with him, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and then took his family on the ship at the moment, and then was arranged to rest in a special cabin, as the ship slowly left the port, Condela opened the window and took a last look at the European continent, and the look in his eyes was also very complicated.
