Crossing the Strait of Malacca, Friedrich was about to make a trip to Chenla and Thailand, but was stopped by Lieutenant General Raven Hobak, who could not stand the kind of stroll of his Austrian counterparts.

"Honorable Grand Duke, we must first investigate the piracy incident, and then we can take care of the rest after we have dealt with it."

Lieutenant General Hobark and Billy Mullen Jr., head of the British investigative mission, were already in a daze by this time.

The two of them really believed in the nonsense of a so-called "powerful pirate group"; The "crime team" attacked the Dutch and British fleets, captured the port of Brunei, and even clashed with the British fleet that had gone to reinforce it.

However, in fact, both Lieutenant General Xiuwen and the British consul Rui of the "Lion City" wanted to make the so-called "pirate" leader the culprit of the scandal on their side.

Because of such a heavy loss, they can't afford it, so there must be a very strong enemy to carry this black cauldron.

Of course, Franz has already prepared everything, and although the situation is becoming a little difficult to control now, there is still room for manoeuvre in theory.

After all, the ready-made back-on-the-pot man found was big and fat, and the British went to the Far East just to seek wealth, so they would naturally be satisfied with this result.

Kalimantan Island, Brunei Harbour is a dilapidated and desolate scene, and the huge wreckage in the bay is still vivid.

This made the members of the British and Austrian investigation teams have different thoughts, the former hammered the railing on the deck, and did not expect that the invincible Royal Navy would be planted here.

"No, it could not have been done by ignorant natives, could it be the armies of the great powers? Austrian? It can't be that they stop and go along the way, how can this efficiency be.

It must be that damn Gallic chicken! After their defeat in the Viceroyalty of La Plata, they went to Nanyang to retaliate, and they heard that the French had previously established a colony in Vietnam.

It's just why did they attack the Dutch fleet? And to borrow the name of the British Empire? ”

On the side of the British, they were already thinking cranky. On the other hand, Friedrich was so happy, he thought that Nanming was finished at this time, but he didn't expect to fight so beautifully and kill a detachment of the British.

Once upon a time, Muhammad Ali, known as the "monster of Albania", used Egypt's 20 years of national fortune to kill a British fleet.

As soon as the aborigines on the shore saw the figures of those Western behemoths, they fled as if they were dead, and when the British and Austrian warships approached, they could not find anyone, so the investigation teams of the two countries decided to go ashore at the same time to find "clues".

As soon as he came ashore, Friedrich tripped over a large mass of "clues", and when he got up, he saw that it was a ball of braids.

"Braids! It must be a Qing pirate! Friedrich said as the clerks of the Austrian and British investigation teams began to frantically take notes. Lieutenant General LaVine Hobak and Billy Mullen Jr. were on the same side, and they felt that their teammates' IQs were really worrying.

However, they soon found uniforms with the word "soldier" or "brave" printed on them in the abandoned houses, as well as some weapons such as broadswords and spears.

Friedrich immediately made a big fuss on the sidelines, claiming that he had discovered the munitions of Qing pirates, and the investigation team on the side was also working hard to write.

These overly obvious "evidences" made the British very puzzled, but since seeing is believing, they cannot pretend not to see it, so they can only temporarily follow the general direction of their Austrian counterparts.

But weren't the Qing people just defeated? Did they unilaterally tear up the armistice? Lieutenant General Hobak and Mullen looked at each other and came to the conclusion that it was "unlikely", and that there should be a regime here, right?

At this time, in the dense forest on the top of the mountain in the distance, Zhu Qiongying was holding a telescope to observe everything that was happening in the port, and the civil and military officials of the surrounding Nanming were eager to try.

"Is it British?" Someone asked impatiently.

"Not only! And the Austrians. Zhiyun's tone was a little worried, because of Zhu Qiongying's relationship, she still has a certain understanding of this mysterious Western country.

At the same time, since Nanming's spices are exported to Zhenla and then exchanged for weapons from the local area, she also learns that the so-called Zhenla is just a puppet of Austria.

But who would have thought that the puppet country would actually fight the South Yue country to cede land and pay compensation, you must know that it is a barbarian that even the Qing Dynasty has not been able to conquer, but at this time, the morale of the Southern Ming is at its peak, and the military generals and generals of the civil society hope to fight another beautiful battle.

And Zhu Qiongying herself also has this intention, she wants to see where the ceiling of her army is?

If she could defeat all the Western armies in one fell swoop, wouldn't she be able to accomplish the great feats of the Five Expeditions to Mobei (Russia), the Seven Voyages to the Western Ocean (the European Continent), and the Nine Expeditions to the North Sea (Northern European countries including Britain) like the Yongle Emperor

It's just that the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny. After some research, the British and Austrian sides decided to find out the situation from the local authorities, after all, we should not only focus on physical evidence, but also look at human evidence.

So they began to search for the traces of the locals, and when Nanming saw those Westerners searching everywhere, they felt that the other party must be looking for themselves, so they hid in the deep mountains and old forests.

The soldiers and civilians of the Southern Ming Dynasty were very confident in their concealment techniques, and laid a large number of traps along the way, they did not believe that the group of foreigners outside could find themselves.

In order to prevent the smoke from rising and exposing the traces, the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Ming Dynasty ate cold food and food left over from earlier.

The civilian and military generals were full of confidence at this time, they had completely overcome the fear of the Europeans, after all, people were all the same kind of fart and urine before they died, so what was the difference between them and the opium soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

It's that the combat effectiveness may be so strong, but Nanming is known to the outside world as an army of 300,000, and the Westerners on the beach are only thousands, but the warships look more magnificent than before.

Due to the large number of eyeliner in Malacca, the Nanming side has already arranged elite troops in this mountain, and at the same time, there are tunnels dug before in Mala Port.

As long as you wait for this group of Westerners to separate, you can do it, and then the center will bloom and be surrounded on all sides, and you are not afraid that the other party will not surrender

Suddenly, a huge shadow floated over, blocking the sun's rays. At this moment, the soldiers and civilians of Nanming have all lost their ability to think, and they don't know how to describe the scene in front of them.

Many people who are eating even forget to chew and let the food fall out of their mouths.

Some soldiers' weapons fell to the ground, some simply sat on the ground, and those with even weaker wills have even begun to kneel down and pray to the gods and Buddhas.

The sentry had actually seen an unidentified object in the sky, but he could barely hold back a sentence in the end.

"There are foreigner monsters in the sky!"

Zhu Qiongying looked at the black and gold flag, and thought of the scene when she first saw Franz, the feeling of oppression still weighed her breathlessly to this day, and she took two steps back and sat on the golden chair.

However, compared to everyone present, her performance was quite good; The other Nanming high-level officials were all frightened at this time.

Rao is old pedants who are accustomed to seeing the "big world" are also stunned when they look at everything that is happening in front of them, and finally the knowledgeable prime minister Zhiyun said.

"Could it be Kong Ming Lantern?!"
