Chapter 205: Muhammad Arabi
Huo Shan put down the wireless telegraph in his hand, and the content of the Sino-Portuguese Machen Treaty was basically not much different from what he thought at the beginning!
"Now that the Portuguese have been taken by us, then only the Dutch are left!" Huo Hu said with some joy in his tone.
Hearing his words, Huo Long also nodded in agreement, "But there are still the British standing behind the Dutch, and if you want them to give in and sign a defeated treaty, I'm afraid it's not so easy!"
As for Britain, it was indeed a big trouble in front of the Huo Jiajun! However, after seeing the military strength of the Huo Jiajun, Huo Shan was very suspicious of how much confidence this pirate empire still had to help the Netherlands! Although the British needed the Netherlands, it did not mean that they would sacrifice their soldiers for the sake of the Dutch's East Indies colony! Moreover, the relationship between the two countries was not close to this extent, otherwise the Anglo-Boer War would not have broken out more than ten years later! You must know that the Boers are the descendants of the Dutch! Moreover, the massacre of the Boers by the British for the gold mines and diamonds of the Transvaal and Orange was no worse than the genocide of the Jews by Nazi Germany! However, the difference between the two is that the Germans were the losers and were nailed to the pillar of shame in history, while the British were the victors of the war, so no one paid much attention to this history submerged in the dust!
However, although Huo Shan understood that the possibility of the British sending troops to intervene was already very small. But now the eyes of the whole world are almost nailed to the sudden emergence of Huo Jiajun, which makes Huo Shan, who is used to secretly operating, very unaccustomed. Moreover, the arrogant and arrogant British Empire is really not good to serve, always thinking about making a profit from the Huo family's army, and using force to threaten at every turn! This really annoys Young Master Huo, and he also hates it in his heart!
"Huo Long, Huo Zhiguang, do they have any news?"
Hearing the young master's words, Huo Long's god was stunned, and then he thought of the dragon tooth special forces directly under the control of the young master, which was known as the most sharp force in the people's army! "There is no news yet! But I think with the dragon's tooth sharp, coupled with the cooperation of our military intelligence bureau, it should not be too difficult to complete the task assigned by the young master!"
He nodded understandingly. The current means of communication are too backward, and Africa is thousands of miles away from Taiwan, and it often takes more than a week for a round trip to and from the country! "I don't know when the radio will be able to meet the requirements of long-distance communication?" Huo Shan sighed in his heart!
"By the way, Huo Long, did you see the bike I just rode in the yard?"
"Young Master, that's called a bicycle, how does it look so weird!" Huo Hu asked with some curiosity. He'd seen a bicycle before, but it's basically made of wood and a small amount of steel, unlike this one, which is basically made of steel all over the body, and it's a lot bigger!
"See. Young Master, what do you want to ......?" Huo Long has long been accustomed to the young master's many whimsical ideas, just looking at Xu Jianyin, Minister of Science and Technology, although he is so busy with work every day, he still regularly comes to Huoshan to stay here for a day every week, and every time before leaving. With an expression full of excitement and a treasure on his face, he knew how much inspiration and help Huo Shan had given to this guy who regarded scientific and technological research and development as more important than life!
"I want to equip it to our troops in various places!" Huo Shanshen said excitedly, in an affirmative tone!
"Equip the army, young master, what you said is true?"
"It can't shoot, it can't shoot. And the whole iron lump is so heavy! What is the use of our army wanting it?" Huo Hu thought about the appearance of the bicycle he had just seen. In the end, I couldn't help but mutter.
Listening to his words, Huo Shan smiled faintly, and did not open his mouth to reprimand him this time! "Huo Long, you are the minister of the military department, let me ask you how far our current army can go if it is forced to march in one day?"
"It's hard to say, the physical strength of the soldiers, the road conditions, and the terrain are the main factors that affect the march of the troops, so half of them are between fifty and eighty kilometers!"
"If this bicycle is equipped, then the speed of the troops will be more than doubled, and if the road conditions are good, it will not be too difficult to travel 200 kilometers in twelve hours!" Huo Shan looked at the gradually open mouths of the two of them, and said indifferently!
"Young Master, what you said is true?" As the head of the military department, Huo Long knows best what speed means to an army! If this bicycle invented by the young master is really as fast as the young master said, then the army units of the Huo family army will reach the war zone faster than the enemy, reinforce faster, and intersperse in a roundabout way faster, and in addition, it can also save the physical strength of the soldiers! Speed up the process of war! If they had this bike at the time of the capture of the Java island of Sumatra, they would probably have been able to end the war in just the ordinary time!
"Hehe, it's true or not! Later, you can bring this bicycle back by yourself and let you soldiers of our army experiment with it!" Huo Shan said with a smile.
Hearing his words, Huo Long's face showed a leap of leap and bound! If he still retained a sense of reserve because of his character, then Huo Hu, who was sitting next to him and was hot, couldn't wait to stand up! Although he didn't say anything, looking at his pleading eyes still made Huo Shan's eyes flash a trace of helplessness! This guy has always done whatever he wants, and never thinks about whether the time and occasion are appropriate!
"Okay! I'm fine with it anyway!
Hearing his words, Huo Long and Huo Hu got up from the sofa in a hurry, pulled their legs and walked out the door!
"That's right! Don't break my bike! That's the first one, and I still want chayexschayexs.," Huo Shan couldn't help but shout behind them as he looked at their backs!
"Got it, young master!" Huo Hu replied casually, but looking at his figure running forward in a hurry, I don't know if he had already taken his words to heart!
Shaking his head helplessly, Huo Shansuo didn't care about him anymore!

Aston Jurte is of Dutch descent on the island of Java, his father was a Dutch sailor, and his mother was a local native, so he has obvious mestizo signs on his body! For example, he has black hair, and his eyes are not blue or brown sรจ of white Europeans!
The reason why he came to Cairo, Egypt today was not out of his original intention, but because he participated in the resistance army organized by the Netherlands on the island of Java, he was captured by the People's Army! However, he did not enter the prisoner of war camp, but was taken by the Military Intelligence Agency and joined this secret intelligence department directly under the direct management of the Huo Family Army! Although when he first joined, he was not out of his own heart, but more for his own family, but after a period of training and several missions, he liked this exciting life! This time I came to Egypt to carry out a special mission assigned by the Ministry of War!
After picking up the teacup on the table and taking a shallow sip, Aston couldn't help frowning, he was really not very accustomed to the Egyptian habit of putting sugar in black tea, and after living in Java for so many years, he was already accustomed to the fragrant and elegant tea of the Han people! He was really not very accustomed to this kind of heavy taste of tea! Moreover, he had been in Egypt for more than a week, and he had not adapted to the eating habit of almost all meals here being sweets! However, in order to complete the tasks assigned by the military headquarters, he had to continue to endure this kind of torture!
At this moment, an Egyptian waiter with a turban came over, "Dear sir, our minister wants to see you!"
Hearing his words, Aston was overjoyed, and quickly stood up and followed him, thinking about walking behind this beautiful mansion full of Arab-Muslim architectural style!
Mohammed Arabi Pasha, now Egypt's Minister of War and the de facto leader of the Fatherland Party that controlled Egypt! The controller of the entire Republic of Egypt, a staunch nationalist! and above all he had no good feelings about the British Empire, which controlled Egypt!
"Respected Muhammad Arabi Leader, the envoy from the East is glad to meet you!" Looking at the middle-aged man sitting on the throne, wearing a small hat, with a solemn expression and sharp eyes, Aston hurriedly said respectfully.
Hearing his words, Arabi's god moved, and looked at this white man, who was obviously different from ordinary Europeans!, "Listen to my adjutant, you have been asking to see me these days!"
"Yes, I myself admire the leader's patriotism very much, so I have brought some weapons and equipment that I want to give to the leader!" Aston clapped his hands, and immediately several Egyptian soldiers in turbans carried four long wooden boxes of one and a half meters thick to the lobby of the living room!
The box was not locked, Aston walked over, and opened it very quickly! Reached out and took out a very well-maintained rifle with gun oil from the box, and handed it to Alabi, who had already walked over! As a soldier, he was very familiar with this classic rifle designed and manufactured by the British, and moreover, the current Egyptian army basically used this rifle!
"Click!" Lisso pulled the bolt, and the crisp impact sound showed that the rifle was very well maintained! After clicking on the gun in his hand, Arabi raised the gun, sat down for an aiming design, nodded with satisfaction, put down the Enfield rifle in his hand, and then circled around the four boxes before returning to his seat and sitting down!
"Hehe, the artillery is too heavy to transport, so I didn't bring it with me!Of course, if needed, they will soon be in the leader's barracks!" Aston said with a smile.
Arabi nodded in satisfaction! Now with these two hundred rifles, he already believed what the man in front of him said!
