Chapter 1084

Tang Wenjie looked with pride at the city of new Jiapo, which once belonged to Britain, but now it is included in the Empire.

and in Southeast Asia, Philippines and Indonesia are now under the control of the Empire. Soon the southwest army will go south. At that time, East Indochina and Burma will also belong to the Empire.

"Minister Tang, it is said that you have also brought the emperor's instructions this time?" Lei Ming asked, and he was with Yue Yun and Liu Chen.

Half a month ago, he successfully intercepted the remnants of the Dutch army who were trying to flee in Boer city and fought a beautiful ambush.

The unprepared Dutch army was made dumplings by them after entering the city. The governor of Jakarta and Stephen died in the war. He collected a large amount of gold from these Dutch soldiers and recovered some losses.

"That's right. Anyway, I'm going to pass by, so the Emperor himself asked me to give you the instructions." Tang Wenjie said.

Then he takes out a sealed letter from his arms and gives it to Lei Ming.

"The emperor told us not to attack India by force, but to blockade India for half a year in advance. At the same time, he ordered the navy to strengthen its control over the routes." Leiming tells Yue Yun the contents of the letter.

Liu Chen said excitedly: "the emperor has always been wise, and his judgment of the war is quite accurate. In the past half a year, we can strengthen our training and reserve ammunition and weapons in XINJIAPO. Once we start fighting in the future, we don't need to worry about ammunition."

Lei Ming was relieved. During this time, he had been studying maps. Among the areas under the actual control of the Empire, XINJIAPO was the most suitable military base.

In the whole Nanyang ocean, the location of XINJIAPO is almost in the center, which is also the throat channel, so the geographical location is very important.

Because of this, the Empire designated XINJIAPO as an overseas military base. During this period, fortifications were built in XINJIAPO.

Needless to say, there are many bunkers on the coast, which are connected with each other through underground passages.

At the same time, a large amount of ammunition is stored in the bunker. If the machine gun is mounted on the bunker, the West will not be able to win it even if it invests 300000 or 400000 people.

With such strong fortifications, both Lei Ming and Yue Yun are very confident in the safety of XINJIAPO. Both the Navy and the army can be transferred here.

"In addition to the related war, the emperor also asked the navy to send warships to escort the mission to the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire. Our visit is very important, and we also need the help of general Wangyue and Riesling." Tang Wenjie said.

It was the first time for him to go to such a distant place. He had no idea. For the safety of the mission, they needed soldiers to escort them, so that the mission would not die before they saw the two imperial capitals.

"It's natural. We'll make arrangements now when Minister Tang starts." Yue Yun is positive that he has learned the purpose of Tang Wenjie's mission, and he has heard about the internal combustion engine.

If we can get a lot of cheap and high-quality oil from Persia or Ottoman, it will be a great joy for the Empire, and it can also make the industry of the Empire leap again.

"Because it's urgent, we'll have a rest here for one night, and tomorrow we'll go to the first stop in Persia." Tang Wenjie said with a smile.

Liu Chen muttered: "it's really troublesome. In my opinion, there's no need to talk to them. It's just that there are oil fields in any place."

Liu Chen's words made Tang Wenjie smile helplessly. He said, "when I came here, the Emperor just praised you for your progress, but now it makes you show your true colors."

After pondering for a while, he said: "Persia and the Ottoman Empire are different from the countries in Nanyang. These countries in Nanyang have not really formed yet, but they exist in the situation of tribal rule. However, these two Central Asian powers are different. They have a strict national structure and huge potential for war. It is unwise to use war to push them to the West."

"It's still Minister Tang's fine grasp of the world's human geography. We just know a little bit about it." Yue Yun stares at Liu Chen and returns with a smile.

Tang Wenjie sighed: "I can't help but study each country carefully. Although Osman and Europe have a thousand year old grudge, the European royal family has married the princess to Osman many times. There are too many disputes, but Osman may know little about us. This is the trouble of this trip."

Said here, he suddenly stopped, said with a smile: "do not mention this, today a good rest, tomorrow morning on the road."

After that, he took the members of the mission to the reception of new Jiapo.

The next day, Tang Wenjie got up early and had a simple breakfast. He boarded the warship for Persia.

In order to protect Tang Wenjie and his party, Yue Yun sent six warships to prevent accidents. Although they defeated the allied fleet, armed merchant ships, privateers and pirates from Europe were still active on the sea.

These forces threaten the safety of the route all the time, and seem to have received unified orders. Now these ships are deeply hostile to the imperial warships.

Patrol warships are often harassed by them, in which they try to seize their warships by all means.According to the captured prisoners of war, now Europe has issued a high reward. If the armored ship can be captured, the captors will get a million pounds reward.

Such a high reward is enough to make armed merchant ships, privateers and pirates crazy. A million pounds is enough to make them live a noble life.

Standing on the deck and looking at the port of XINJIAPO, Tang Wenjie's pride came out of his mind. In today's world, only the empire can have such power.

Then he gathered the members of the mission together. For the purpose of this visit, all the members of the imperial mission were proficient in the languages of the two regions and were very familiar with the two countries.

"I think it's easier to get results in Persia than in Osman." A young member of the League said that his name is Fang Heng. He is a foreign affairs major in the school of government affairs of Qingzhou University.

Tang Wenjie nodded. "The emperor asked us to bet on both sides to take advantage of the feud relationship between Ottoman and Persia. According to the information collected, the two countries have been at war for two hundred years in order to fight for regional hegemony, and even now they have not stopped. So we should make more use of this in future negotiations."

"It's not enough," he said. "We need to make them understand that empire can change the balance of war between them. Only in this way can they know how powerful it is."

Tang Wenjie has always attached great importance to Fang Fang Heng. He has always been very flexible in negotiation. Although he can profit from the feud between the two, he is also extremely dangerous. If he does not handle it properly, he may be worried about his life.
