Chapter 669: Thank You for Nature's Gifts
The word Australia, meaning "continent of the south", is derived from the Latin terraaustralis.
From a Eurocentric point of view, a hundred years ago, British Captain Cook discovered the land, named it "New Wales", and declared it to belong to the United Kingdom.
Subsequently, it became a dunghill pit for the exiled prisoners of the British.
This lonely and wild continent has been forgotten by people as it has been for thousands of years.
So much so that when the New Shanghai Olympics were held a few years ago, Zhu Fugui and the British government both forgot to arrange for the Australian team to attend.
After the Olympics were over, the delegates from the Governor's Office in Sydney protested to the Olympic Committee, but they were vetoed by Chairman Zhu Fugui.
In fact, objectively speaking, compared to the island of tears of prisoners 30 years ago, Australia has prospered a lot.
Because some time ago, gold deposits were discovered in two places, New South Wales and Victoria.
Gold diggers from Europe flocked to the city, which made a good wave of popularity.
Now that I think about it, where is the gold that these guys are digging?
That's the meat in His Majesty Zhu Fugui's heart!
So we can't wait any longer, the Ming must recover the last piece of the puzzle of the Pacific Rim Empire, recover this ancient southern continent, and liberate the many creatures there.
Let go of the Australian lobster and let your father come!
However, there is one thing to say, the Australian aborigines are different from the authentic old Dongyi South Island Polynesians, and they really have nothing to do with the Chinese ethnic groups, and the blood and culture are very far away.
But this does not prevent the Ming from classifying Australia since ancient times.
When the gunboat "Wuhu" appeared off the coast of Sydney, the Europeans fled in panic with the cannons of Captain Cook.
No way, how much military power can the country of the dunghole have? How much military power is there?
Nuclear-powered submarines?
Does it deserve it?
The "Wuhu" gunboat is only 1170 tons, which is inconspicuous in the Ming naval sequence.
Other "Bengbu", "Caoxian", "Tieling" and the like are not on the table, only about 900 tons.
To conquer Australia, these four King Kongs are enough.
Coupled with the fact that more than 80 littoral warships and the "Zhao Guangyi" machine gun speedboat make up the entire surface force of this operation, it is even more foolproof.
Of course, this bit of combat power is nothing in the Atlantic, but it is more than enough to knock on Sydney.
After blockading the entire harbor of Sydney, bombarding and sinking more than a dozen sailboats, Chen Qiang ordered the fleet to sail into the Pramata River to erase all traces of the presence of white colonists.
The Nanyang Commander commanded the fleet, and the advantage of the shallow water of the fleet was reflected at this time.
Australia is an extremely water-scarce region.
The area of more than 100 tons looks very top, but in fact, there is only a small livable area that can live in people.
Like Tongliao, they are all outrageously fat.
In Australia, the Pramata River is considered to be the largest river east of the Great Dividing Range, capable of driving 1,000-ton gunboats.
Other small rivers can't get on big boats, and some can only run small speedboats of more than 100 tons or dozens of tons.
But the white militia along the river had nothing to do with the small speedboats of several tens of tons.
As long as the Ming can clear along the river, it can easily sweep away the colonists' strongholds.
These colonial strongholds were entirely along the freshwater resources.
The Ming navy carried out clearance operations along the east coast of Australia, and did not worry at all about the colonists fleeing to the vast Australian outback.
As long as they dare to cross the watershed, it is basically equivalent to suicide.
Even if it is per capita Bei Ye, who is unprepared to enter that kind of ghost place, he can only give it for nothing.
Of course, the area east of the Great Dividing Range is still vast, and the cleaning of the Ming Dynasty will certainly not be too clean.
There are hundreds of thousands of white colonists in Australia today.
Even if it is hundreds of thousands of pigs, Daming can't catch them all.
More than half of the whites escaped from naval shelling and landing operations.
The water source and food production areas they relied on for survival were occupied, and they had to be broken into pieces, surviving in the form of nomadic tribes and caravans, using Australia's vast land and harsh natural environment to fight guerrilla warfare against the Ming Navy.
But their ultimate fate is predestined.
Because His Majesty Zhu Fugui, who has always been generous and benevolent, actually issued a rare secret order: "The Australian place is originally a dung pit, and if the dung pit is not thoroughly cleaned, it cannot be inhabited." โ
In particular, there was also news in the palace that the Lord Banzai had vaguely said when eating steak that people with the surname Morrison on the Australian island had to be thrown into Komodo Island to feed the king.
With the strength in Chen Qiang's hands, he naturally couldn't accomplish such a task.
But soon, Mo Bai was armed with 50 large transport ships and tens of thousands of immigrants from Sarawak.
"Those who capture this surname alive will enjoy 2 breeding pigs in Zhizhi Village, 50 catties of spring hair breeds, and a rich tractor!"
You can't write two Mo in one stroke, Mo Bai is also very angry, and you are also worthy of the surname Mo?
In the face of the reward of the provisional government of the Tuao Propaganda Division, the immigrants of Sarawak drove caravans and carried bright flowers on their backs, just like the American colonists who went west, sleeping in the open air, looking for suitable settlements while looking for white slaves and bounty scalps.
Standing behind them were 3,000 Ming Royal Cavalry troops.
These are regular troops.
Although the number is small, no white tribe can shake it head-on.
The scene of the Wild West is recreated here.
So much so that a few years later, the Tuao cowboy and Tuao movies have become the cultural imprint that the people of Daming like to see.
It's just that in those movies, the tall, righteous, and suave cowboy does not speak rough western English, but a Hokkien accent.
Wind, sandstorm, revolver, jeans, red scarf, cigarette cigarettes at the back door......
Fujian macho men ride on three river horses, fight the attacks of the white savages, protect their beloved girls, and their newly opened homes.
These classic images will become the memories of a generation of young people in the Ming Dynasty, and together with popcorn, they will accompany one weekend after another.
The only thing that made the next few Tuao Xuanfu depressed was that why did these Caucasian savages surnamed Morris always fail to catch?
The Borneo Propaganda Division is about to protest, saying that their Komodo lizards on Komodo Island and Rinca Island are overeating.
In desperation, he could only feed the Gulf crocodiles in the northern part of Tuao and the southern part of Borneo.
After all, although the reputation of the Komodo dragon is resounding, it is actually only about two hundred catties per head, and the appetite is limited, and the population is still small.
Where can there be a million-strong number of bay crocodiles.
This kind of behemoth with a body length of up to 7 meters and a weight of more than one ton has as many as one million in the entire Nanyang and Tuao regions, which is really terrifying.
There is probably no predator on earth that weighs more than 50 kilograms and can reach this number, except for humans.
In the face of Morris, who is constantly caught by Fujian cowboys, if the bay crocodiles have wisdom, they can only sigh: "Thank you for the gift of nature!" Namaten, tenten! โ
