Iron Dynasty

Chapter 1086: Tang Wenjie's worries

Tang Wenjie proudly looked at Singapore City, which once belonged to the United Kingdom, but now it has been included in the territory of the empire.

In Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and Indonesia are now under the control of the empire. It will not be long before the Southwest Army will go south. At that time, East Indochina and Myanmar will also belong to the empire.

"Minister Tang, it is said that you brought the emperor's instructions at the same time this time?" Lei Ming asked, Yue Yun and Liu Chen who were with him.

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

After the unprepared Dutch army entered the city, they made dumplings. The Governor of Jakarta and Stephen died in battle. From these Dutch soldiers, he collected a large amount of gold, which can be regarded as recovering some losses.

"Yes, I have to pass by here anyway, so the emperor personally asked me to hand over the instructions to you." Tang Wenjie said.

Then he took out a sealed letter from his arms and handed it to Thunder.

"The emperor told us not to attack India by force, and implement a half-year blockade on India in advance, and at the same time order the navy to strengthen its control over the air routes." Lei Ming told Yue Yun the contents of the letter.

Liu Chen heard this and said excitedly: "The emperor has always been wise, and this time he made a fairly accurate judgment on the war. We are now able to strengthen training in the past six months, and at the same time stock up ammunition and weapons in Singapore. Once the fight starts, there will be no need to worry about ammunition. "

Lei Ming breathed a sigh of relief. During this time, he had been studying the map. Among the areas currently controlled by the empire, Xinjiapo was the most suitable military base.

In the entire Nanyang, the location of Xinjiapo is almost at the center, and here is the throat channel, the geographical location is very important.

Because of this, the Empire designated Xinjiapo as an overseas military base and has been building fortifications in Xinjiapo during this period.

Needless to say, the shore defense gun system constructed of reinforced concrete, there are still many bunkers on the coast, which were previously connected to each other through underground passages.

At the same time, a large amount of ammunition is stored in the bunker. If machine guns are put on the bunker, the West cannot get it even if they invest three to four hundred thousand people.

With such a strong fortification, both Thunder and Yue Yun are very confident in the safety of Xinjiapo, and both the navy and the army can get transit here.

"In addition to related war matters, the emperor also asked the navy to send warships to **** missions to the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire. This time our visit is very important, and I hope General Yue and Riesling will help." Tang Wenjie said.

It was the first time for him to go to such a remote place, and he had no idea. For the safety of the mission, they needed soldiers to **** them, lest the mission would die before seeing the two imperial capitals.

"This is natural. When Minister Tang sets off, we will make arrangements now." Yue Yun was positive, he had already understood the purpose of the outstanding envoy Tang Wen, and he had already heard about internal combustion engines.

If a large amount of cheap and high-quality oil can be obtained from Persia or Ottoman, then this will be a great happy event for the empire, and it will also enable the empire’s industry to rise again.

"Because this matter is more urgent, we will rest here for one night, and tomorrow we will go to the first stop in Persia." Tang Wenjie smiled.

Liu Chen mumbled after hearing the words, "It's really troublesome. In my opinion, there is no need to talk to them. Just where there is an oil field directly occupied."

Liu Chen's words made Tang Wenjie smile helplessly. He said: "When I came, the emperor had just praised that you are making progress now, but now these words have revealed your true identity."

After pondering for a while, he said: "The Persian and Ottoman empires are different from the countries in Southeast Asia. These countries in Southeast Asia have not yet really formed, but they exist under tribal rule. However, these two Central Asian powers are different. They have strict rules. The structure of the country has great potential for war, and the use of war will only push them to the West. This is unwise."

"It's still Minister Tang's meticulous mastery of the human geography of the world. I only know a little about the fur." ​​Yue Yun stared at Liu Chen and replied with a smile.

Tang Wenjie sighed: "There is no way. You have to study each country carefully. Although Ottoman and Europe have a thousand years of grievances, European royal families have married princesses to Ottoman many times. There are too many disputes. And Osman may know very little about us, this time is the trouble of this trip."

When he said this, he stopped abruptly and said with a smile: "Don't mention this, take a good rest today and leave tomorrow morning."

After that, he led the delegation to the reception in Singapore.

The next day, Tang Wenjie got up early and simply ate breakfast. He boarded the battleship to Persia.

In order to protect Tang Wenjie and his party, Yue Yun sent six warships in case of accidents. Although they defeated the coalition fleet, European armed merchant ships, privateers and pirates were still active at sea.

These forces threaten the safety of the route all the time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and seem to have been given a unified order. Now these ships are deeply hostile to the Imperial warships.

The patrolling warships are often harassed by them. During the harassment, they try to take all measures to seize their warships.

According to the captured prisoners of war, Europe has now issued high rewards. If the ironclad ships can be captured, the captors will receive a reward of 1 million pounds.

Such a high bounty is enough to make armed merchant ships, privateers, and pirates crazy, and a million pounds is enough to make them live a rich life like aristocrats.

Standing on the deck and looking at the fading port of New Jiapo, Tang Wenjie's pride and daring arose spontaneously. In today's world, only the empire can have such power.

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

"Compared to Ottoman, I think it's easier to produce results in Persia." A young team member said, his name is Jia Heng, and he is a diplomat major in the School of Political 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 in a state of war in order to compete for regional hegemony for two hundred years. It has never stopped, so we should make more use of this in future negotiations."

Jia Heng said: "This is not enough. We have to make them understand that the 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 House Heng. His mind has always been extremely flexible in terms of negotiation. Although the relationship between the two feuds can be used to profit from it, it is also extremely dangerous. If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that there will be life concerns.
