"Okay, dear Mr. Prime Minister, let's forget about this unfortunate incident in Australia, and focus on when to start the war against Afghanistan, this time we must take this damned mountain country, and completely block the Russians out of the mountains north of Kandahar, which is the most important strategic task at present."

"Of course I know this, but the news of the disastrous defeat at Lake Carlton is so bad that I have to consider the influence of public opinion."

"Come on, Mr. Prime Minister, there are no troops to send from the War Department unless you are willing to draw ...... from Afghanistan"

"No, no, no...... This is absolutely impossible. ”

Benjamin Disraeli touched the top of his bare head, and the few hairs that were already extremely scarce fell out again, which made him feel like a knife.

Damn Australia, damn bandits, and those damn inaction officers, oh yes, and that Colonel Macbeth, who was a light enemy, all fucking bastards.

Belch...... Wait, damn Colonel Macbeth?

What do I seem to have in mind?

The others were stopped by Benjamin Disraeli raising his hand, and after a long time of meditation with his brow pinched, he suddenly slapped his thigh and thought of a brilliant solution.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men who share the worries of the British Empire.

Let the Treasury come up with a considerable sum of money, and go to Buckingham Palace to meet Her Majesty and persuade Her Majesty to promise a noble title of sufficient weight.

Well, considering the seriousness of the Australian problem and the serious impact on social security and colonization, a baronial title seems to be lacking, so it is a viscount title with a fief.

Benjamin Disraeli's brilliant idea was immediately embraced by the high-ranking officials at the meeting, who regarded it as a genius idea.

For the top officials of the War Department, as long as they are not allowed to send troops, everything is OK.

As for the Queen's knighthood and the appropriation from the Treasury, it's none of your business?

For its part, the Colonial Ministry argued;

This is a solution that there is no way at the moment, and the point is that the feasibility is extremely high, so they are actively willing to give a part of the funds as a high reward for the elimination of the Pilken gang.

The allure of a noble title to the British is unparalleled, why is that retired colonel Macbeth willing to risk his own disgrace and chase extremely dangerous bandits in the deserted wilderness for half a year?

The inability to resist the temptation of a noble title is the root cause.

As for the Reich Treasury, it also supported the Prime Minister's decision.

They would rather put a sum of money on a bounty than send 500 soldiers to land in Australia and God knows how much it will cost.

According to the consistent urine nature of the British Imperial Army, no matter whether the war is won or lost, the logistics must be provided first-class support.

Not to mention anything else, the famous Angus steak in the British Isles must be indispensable, and at worst, the Seaford steak must be used, as well as other British specialties, how much does it cost to send these millions of people all the way?

The British Imperial Army has performed great feats for the Empire, and it has also developed the demanding needs of proud soldiers, and it is really happy to spend taxpayers' money.

Wrong...... It should be like a blood collapse, and it can't be stopped.

The secret meeting agreed on the issue, and the outline of the meeting was formed, and the Prime Minister was to personally visit Buckingham Palace to meet Her Majesty in conjunction with the war in Afghanistan to report the brilliant idea in person.

Australia, the southernmost part of the Red River Valley Ranch, Ghost Head Ridge area

Five days after arriving in the area, there have been several sporadic encounters between the Red River Valley Cavalry and the bandits, each with several casualties.

After the Battle of Lake Kell, sad news came one after another.

The Pilken bandits pursued and killed the remnants of the defeated and fleeing joint encirclement cavalry all the way, captured the logistics horse team that was on standby, and successively caused more than 170 casualties, and the rest were scattered.

Coupled with the number of people killed in the previous battle, 692 people were killed in the whole battle, and less than 400 people survived, more than half of them were injured of different severity, and the joint encirclement and suppression cavalry was defeated in a battle.

The Pilken gang's reputation for success caused serious unrest in the Red River Valley and around Brisbane.

High on the slopes of the mountains

Li Fushou led a group of commanders of the Chinese People's League to inspect here, and looked at the boundless hills and grasslands in the past, and the large white sheep were like clouds in the sky, scattered among the stars.

This is the flock of sheep stationed in the Guitouling Pastoral Point, numbering 100,000, slowly migrating forward at a speed of more than ten kilometers every day, and even the grass roots are gnawed everywhere they pass.

Merino sheep are rich in high-quality wool, grazing freely on the land with abundant water and grass, creating a good income for the rancher.

An adult merino sheep weighs about 130~280 pounds, and the wool is delicate and soft, which is a high-quality wool raw material.

Each sheep shears wool 4 times a year, and can produce 20~30 pounds of wool, which is a high-yield high-quality sheep.

Two pounds of wool in Queensland are worth a penny, and this one site alone produces hundreds of thousands of pounds of wool sheared at a time, worth more than a thousand pounds.

"Look, sir, about 10 miles ahead from here, there is a thylacine rock field, which is the end of our pasture, and our ghost leader No. 17 is stationed at the No. 17 cattle field, a total of 11 people, to guard the thylacine cave during the period of the herding to prevent the sheep from crossing the line and getting lost."

"Thylacine Rocks?"

"Yes, my lord, there are many weathered caves, which are the natural caves of thylacines, and at most thousands of thylacines gather here, posing a great threat to the sheep."

The Chinese man who spoke was nearly 30 years old, Wu Tiesheng, the captain of the No. 17 Pastoral Point, dressed in an authentic cowboy attire, wearing a trademark rolled-up cowboy hat on his head, a cowhide bullet belt around his waist, and a Colt revolver hanging on his right side.

Wu Tiesheng introduced this and said proudly; "After continuous hunting at our station, it is difficult to see wild wolves near the thylacine caves, and they are basically swept away, and occasionally there are small packs of ten or eight thylacines, most of which roam from pastures in New South Wales, and they are immediately hunted as soon as they are found."

"Well, that's good."

Li Fushou nodded approvingly, these experienced Chinese cowboys helped the latecomers quickly integrate into the game, and their role was immeasurable.

Before the discovery of gold in 1851, most of the Chinese who came to Australia were engaged in grazing and port handling, so there were many Chinese cowboys.

Wu Tiesheng is a descendant of early Chinese immigrants, although he has black hair and black eyes, he has white skin, a European contoured face, and deep-set eye sockets.

"And where did the clash with the gangs take place?"

"It was in the thylacine rock that we found that there were seven bandits driving about 40 pack horses, carrying a large amount of baggage to rest in the rocks for a short time, and the baggage package had the logo of the Royal Victorian Mounted Police, which should be part of the lost logistics horse team, so we made a decisive attack."

"Very good, you did a good job, this battle killed 4 bandits, captured the remaining three, all the cowboys who participated in the battle will be rewarded, and the generous compensation for the sacrifice will be properly arranged."

"On behalf of the brothers stationed at the 17th pastoral site, thank you Lord Longen."

Wu Tiesheng knelt down excitedly, reached out and took off his cowboy hat and knocked his head heavily on the grass a few times, and when he raised it again, tears flashed in his eyes; "The two Hongmen brothers who died have posthumous children, and they can be regarded as having a queen, I once promised them to take care of the children, and the brother who was shot took his last breath and asked the master to fulfill it."

"Alas, it's rare for you to have a piece of your heart, right."

"Thank you, Old Man, Longen."

Wu Tiesheng kowtowed three more times on the grass, and he could see the sincerity from his heart, which touched Li Fushou's heart;

is a man with affection and righteousness, and it is worth cultivating.

When Wu Tiesheng followed the guards and left, Li Fushou looked back at the commanders and asked; "What do you think?"

"Master, let me tell you what I think." The commander of the wolf cavalry guard made Zhou Da Hammer take the lead in crossing the crowd, and saluted with both hands in fists.

"Say it."

Li Fushou casually handed the horsewhip to the guards around him, sat down on the stone next to him (hitting the stone with an egg), opened his hand and beckoned everyone to sit down, and expressed their opinions on the current banditry and chatted thoroughly.

One person counts short, three people count long.

"My idea is that the Birken gang has moved into the boundaries of the neighbouring pastures in South Wales for two purposes;

One is to stay away from the range of our strike, snooping on the side, and harboring ill intentions.

The second is to protect the safety of the baggage horses, for fear of being recaptured by us.

Therefore, I think we should focus on strengthening patrols in the border area of the pasture, and maintain a certain number of troops in the thylacine rocks, so as to deter and prevent the recurrence of bandits. ”

"Well, there's still something." Li Fushou nodded lightly and said to the others; "Today, the people who are going to save trouble have listened to me, and they only said that the two words "seconded" can not be handed over, everyone has to express their own opinions, and they must have something to say, one by one, I want to see if you have grown. ”

Say this

The commanders were dumbfounded, and began to rack their brains to think.

"Master, shall I tell me what I think?" Li Baihu, the deputy commander of the wolf cavalry guard, bowed his hand and asked to speak.

"Well, there's no need to ask for instructions below, just say it." Li Fushou waved his hand.

"Obey the order, Master, White Tiger feels that this gang leader, Wild Wolf Bilken, is worthy of being a battle-hardened bandit, and has tempered a keen sense of danger, and can use some clues and our movements to detect the disadvantage for himself, and take action to jump out of our strike circle in advance." The more Li Baihu spoke, the more confident he became, paused slightly, and continued to speak to himself;

"Commander Zhou's judgment is still accurate, the wild wolf Bilken chased and killed the deserters, and soon smelled the danger, and immediately led most of the bandits and baggage into New South Wales, but for other reasons or deliberate arrangements, coupled with the fact that our wolf cavalry quickly inserted into the area of the garrison, part of the baggage horse team fell behind, and was captured by our militia in one fell swoop......"

"I think it was deliberately arranged, and it reflects Bilken's cunning personality and his cautious approach." The deputy commander of the Tiger Cavalry Guard interrupted Ah Leopard, and the two bronze bell-sized eyes rolled at Li Baihu.

I'm done with you, what are we doing?

Being punished by the master for a few words is at most a loss of face, and it doesn't matter.

If you leave an impression of mediocre ability in the master's heart, then the future of this life will only stop here, and you can't find a place to cry.

The commanders present were all selected from thousands of Chinese gold diggers, and they won the favor of Li Fushou with their outstanding performance, and they were entrusted with important posts, and none of them were idle people.

Although Zhou Dazhui, the commander of the wolf cavalry guard, is honest and honest, he is also a Jiuqu heart, otherwise it would be impossible to firmly suppress Li Baihu and sit on the throne of the leader of the wolf cavalry guard.

As for saying that he can't stand the pestering of women, the letter requesting the construction of a Catholic church is purely dizzy, and the so-called hero is sad to pass the beauty pass.

Fortunately, he knew that he could change his mistakes, and he married the maid of the Red Fort as his wife, and finally escaped this catastrophe.
