Chapter 101: Contact (Medium)

The Kun River originates in the Kapuas Mountains in the middle of the island, with a total length of 1,143 kilometers, and its rivers are distributed along the plains and lakes after entering Pontianak, which is an excellent fertile soil.

After the reclamation and cultivation of the Chinese, the banks of the Kunjiang River have become the land of fish and rice, and the rich Kunjiang River basin immediately attracted the peep of the Dutch.

At present, Lan Fang has pulled the mobilized armed forces to the area of the Kun River in Pontianak, intending to use the Kun River to defend the river.

So during this period of time, Liu Enguan has never slept a single night, and he needs to work hard every day, collect supplies, buy weapons and ammunition, and boost morale, as well as other affairs.

No, in a tributary of the Kun River, someone found the movements of the Dutch, and Liu Enguan immediately arranged for someone to check it.

"Lu Er, you ask Li Si to take a team of people to Gannan to see if there are Dutchmen."

Liu Enguan's Lu Er is called Liang Luyi, and he is now his right-hand man. "Don't worry, the chief manager, I'll let him Li Si take someone there."

After speaking, Liang Luyi strode out, and after a while, he heard his loud voice. "Li Si, where did you die, give it out quickly."

Liu Enguan smiled, shook his head and continued to deal with other things.

But as if it was doomed, just as he picked up a document and was about to read it, he only heard a sound of going upstairs, and the bamboo building was not moving too much.

Before Liu Enguan could ask, the bamboo door was pushed open, and he saw that this was Luo Yibo, one of Lan Fang's leaders. Due to the special nature of the Lanfang system, it is composed of various companies (similar to Jianghu associations), and its leader is respected as the leader. Before he could speak, the Luo leader spoke.

"Chief, your cousin Luo Yibo is here, and he also brought a European and said that he must see you."

His cousin came, and he brought a European to see him. Liu Enguan, who was a little confused by Luo Yibo's words, spoke. "Tell me, what's going on?"

Facing Liu Enguan, who looked puzzled, Luo Yibo then told about meeting his cousin. It turned out that Luo Yibo took people to inspect the Kunjiang River, and happened to meet Liu Jingsheng, who came by boat and claimed to be Liu Enguan's cousin, and what was even more surprising was that there was a foreigner beside him.

However, after some inquiry, Luo Yibo found out that this was really the cousin of the chief, so he immediately asked his people to rush over with these two, and he hurriedly set up a boat to report first.

Hearing Leader Luo's report, Liu Enguan pondered for a while, his cousin came from his hometown all the way to his hometown, and he brought a European, he immediately realized something, and hurriedly spoke. "When they come to the shore, they will be welcomed in at once. Forget it, I'll pick it up myself. ”

It didn't take long for the boat carrying his cousin Luo Yibo to come to shore. Liu Enguan, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately stepped forward and grabbed his cousin who had just gotten off the boat. "Brother Jingsheng, long time no see."

"Enguan, you've changed."

After simply saying hello to his cousin, Liu Jingsheng, who was not good at words, immediately pulled the foreigner who accompanied him over. "This is Major Kerra from Italy, and he said that he was the military attache of the embassy."

It turned out to be an Italian person, and after hearing his cousin's words, Liu Enguan, who was slightly disappointed, still greeted him with a spring breeze on his face. "Hello, Major Kerra, it's a pleasure to have your Excellency."

"Hello, Chief Liu, this time I took the liberty to ask your cousin to help, mainly to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lanfang."

Major Kerra is not bad in Chinese, although he still has some big tongues, but at least he can understand it, but what he said almost made Liu Enguan laugh. Lanfang, a poor rural area, is also a beautiful place, and a three-year-old child will not believe it.

"This is no problem, since Your Excellency the Major wants to see the beautiful scenery, I will ask someone familiar with you to take you around. But how to say that it is a guest from afar, and I like to make friends the most, can I be honored as a landlord and take your Excellency to visit one or two. ”

"Very happily."

The two had a brief conversation, and it was immediately decided that a private conversation would follow. At this time, Liu Enguan said to a person close to him. "It's not easy for my cousin to mobilize the crowd to come here, so he'll entertain me for a good life."

The person next to him was naturally very eye-catching, and immediately complimented Liu Jingsheng with a smile on his face. "Brother Liu is tired of traveling and driving, he must be tired, the little one will take you to take a rest, and let the kitchen get some game for Brother Liu to taste."

After Liu Jingsheng was taken away, Liu Enguan waved his hand to give guidance. "Mr. Major, please come here."

After briefly taking Major Kella around twice, Liu Enguan immediately took him to the bamboo building where he lived, and after giving a word to the guards on the way, the two came to the hall.

After the guest of honor was seated, after the next person brought coffee, Liu Enguan spoke. "I'm afraid Major Kella is not here to see the scenery, I think Your Excellency is more interested in the weapons and the storehouse on us."

"Yes, Your Excellency is right."

Major Kerra did not hide it at all, and directly admitted it.

Hearing Major Kerra's direct admission, Liu Enguan stood up at once. Aggressively. "Then tell me about your purpose, but don't lie to me with those words that can't even coax a three-year-old child."

"I want to see if you have what it takes to stand up to the Dutch."

Bang, Liu Enguan slapped the revolver he was carrying on the table, and said with an unkind face. "Now do you think that you have the strength to hold off the Dutch."

In the face of Liu Enguan's intimidation, Major Kerra ignored it at all, only to see him shake his head and reply. "I'm so angry that you are so poorly equipped that many of you don't even have a rifle, and it is impossible to stop the Dutch, unless you have the help of outsiders."

Major Kerra was very serious about the word outsider, and he believed that this Chief Liu could understand his words.

Sure enough, Liu Enguan's momentum disappeared as soon as he could, but the tiger would not fall, he retorted directly. "Could it be that with the help of your country, the Dutch will be able to retreat?"

"Your Excellency is right, just our Italy can make the Dutch retreat, and not only let them retreat, but also allow Lanfang to return to the maximum territory."

"Hahahaha."

In the face of Major Kerra's words, Liu Enguan laughed.

"What do you have in the South Seas, you have no soldiers and no ships, why should the Dutch listen to you."

In the face of ridicule, Major Kerra looked at Liu Enguan in front of him and said word by word. "Who said we don't have soldiers or ships, it's just that you don't know."

"Bragging doesn't make drafts, if you Italians had soldiers and ships, I would have gotten the news a long time ago, don't think that our Lanfang is not well-informed in Nanyang, as long as there is wind and grass, we will know immediately."

"It's really lonely and unheard, and if our country doesn't show its strength in Nanyang, I think we can't do it. Let me tell you, our fleet is on its way, and if you want help, speak early, or when we are gone, then you will face the Dutch yourselves. ”

As soon as Major Kerra had finished speaking, he got up and made a pre-departure motion.

Seeing that the Italians were leaving, Liu Enguan hurriedly stepped forward to stabilize the other party. "Please wait a minute, Your Excellency Major. I don't think your country's help will be free, right? ”

"Of course."

"So what's the condition?"

"This is very simple, as long as Lan Fang declares independence and asks for help from our country, then my country will naturally help you. And it will allow you to expand your territory several times over. ”

"And at what cost?"

"You have announced that you are willing to join Italy and become our country's overseas province in the South Seas."

Now Liu Enguan understands that there are wolves in front of him and tigers in the back, and they are all going to eat Lan Fang.

After saying this, Major Kerra took out a document and handed it to Liu Enguan. "This is the condition of our country, at least compared to the Dutch, we have no intention of abandoning you after taking advantage of it. Your Excellency, think about it. ”

After informing Liu Enguan of such a blunt threat, Major Kerra got up and left. He believed that this Lanfang's chief Liu would read the documents he gave him.

After seeing Major Kerla walk away, Officer Li couldn't help but open the document.
