Is it cool to transmigrate to South America? Zhu Xianhai's answer is: it's very cool.
After all, 19th-century South America is still a place where cowards vie for hegemony, a land ful...
Chapter 793 Codename 007 (Second update, please subscribe)
As a civil servant in the Prime Minister's Office, James Bond is always busy at work and has to work until about 8 o'clock every day. Although he is just an ordinary middle-level civil servant, he has access to a lot of confidential information.
In fact, a lot of the work in the Prime Minister's Office is done by these civil servants. The Prime Minister and ministers come up with ideas, and then the civil servants implement them, so there is no secret in front of them.
Just after the Prime Minister's Office made the plan to "seize Africa", James Bond learned the news even before the military received the news. After learning the news, James immediately wrote a secret letter after get off work. Due to time constraints, he did not send it by mail as usual, but went directly to the emergency contact point, put the letter at the contact point, left a mark and left quietly.
"I hope everything will come quickly!"
The reason why James was so anxious was that this matter itself was a race against time with Britain.
He has another identity...an agent of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation.
Code name 007!
After he left, the person at the emergency contact point took the letter away soon. Just over an hour later, when the British military just received the news, the intelligence had been delivered to Emperor Zhu.
“Seize Africa!”
Looking at the contents of the letter, Emperor Zhu curled his lips and smiled.
"Interesting. Is this the information sent back by 007?"
Qian Zizhuang replied.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Currently, among our submarines in the UK, only 007 has infiltrated the upper echelons."
After years of hard work, the Investigation Department dispatched a large number of spies to various European countries. Those spies were no different from the locals. They disguised themselves with various identities. They could do business, get into universities, and even military academies, and then enter government agencies and the military. Those submarines were the most effective source of intelligence for the Ming Dynasty, but because of the short time, there was no return so far.
Anyone who has watched "Infernal Affairs" knows this trick. In history, the "submarine" sent by the Stasi in East Germany even served as the chancellor's secretary, and West Germany was infiltrated by them and became a sieve!
"Well, we need to ensure 007's safety as much as possible. Submarines like him need to be kept isolated as much as possible. Even if his handlers are caught, their identities won't be exposed."
It’s not easy to train a “submarine”!
It takes time!
Of course, even if he lived in the wilderness, he would never have thought that the most successful among those spies would be 007. Perhaps this is just a historical coincidence.
In another world, 007 is the most famous spy movie protagonist, but here? He is a spy from the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Zhu even specifically inquired about the intelligence of the special agent school. Many submarines were trained there and then sent abroad to lurk for a long time.
In contrast, it seemed that Emperor Zhu had completely forgotten one thing - the British conspiracy.
In fact, it’s not that Emperor Zhu forgot, but... this is nothing to be afraid of at all.
As for seizing the opportunity, speed is the key!
About an hour later, Emperor Zhu picked up the phone on the table.
"Hello, connect to the staff!"
The call was connected quickly, and after the call was connected, Emperor Zhu gave orders to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Now, there is a situation you need to understand!"
Only half an hour later, the telegram was sent through the General Staff's radio station. What is the Ming Dynasty's biggest advantage?
They mastered the epoch-making radio communication. Although there was no wired telegraph in Whale Bay, a radio station had been installed on the ironclad ship "Qinglong". With the radio station, the fleet could naturally keep in touch with the base at any time.
From Whale Bay to the mouth of the Orange River in the south, it was only a little over 300 nautical miles. After receiving the order from the headquarters, except for a part of the troops staying in Whale Bay, the rest of the troops boarded the ship again and went south with the fleet.
At noon the next day, people in Orangemund, a small town on the south bank of the Orange River estuary, were enjoying breakfast as usual. They did not even notice that two ships had arrived at the north bank.
The troop transport ship was anchored less than 200 meters from the coast. Soldiers in khaki uniforms climbed down the climbing net to the white landing boat. In just half an hour, hundreds of soldiers landed on the land on the north shore.
Then the landing troops began to advance according to the plan, with some advancing inland and some heading south, all the way to the north bank of the Orange River. Across the not-so-wide river, Tian Zhong could even see the Western town on the other side of the river.
"Oh, what a pity! There are British people on the other side of the river. Otherwise, we could have landed directly on the other side!"
While Tian Zhong was mourning, his subordinates buried a boundary marker there. The boundary marker was made of wood, and the words on it were written in ink.
"The Ming Empire's Southwest African Territory!"
Although it was just a few simple words, it clearly showed the Ming Dynasty's indisputable sovereignty over this place, because according to the map drawn up by the Cape Colony, the colonial border only reached the Orange River.
"Captain, the flagpole is up!"
“Raise the flag!”
When the flag bearer was preparing to raise the flag, Tian Zhong, the team leader, stood in front of the queue and gave loud orders.
"Stand at attention and salute!"
As the soldiers saluted the national flag while holding their first-year rifles, the bugler blew the bugle and the sound echoed on the river. At this time, several children who were playing in the water saw the movement on the north bank. They looked at the flag curiously and soon someone ran to call an adult.
"They came out of there!"
Sergeant Henry held a telescope and looked at the flag rising on the opposite bank. What flag was that?
Born and raised in Cape Town, they had never seen the Ming Dynasty's Sun and Moon Flag, not even until Sergeant Henry led two soldiers. Although the town had a population of only a hundred people, as the northernmost town in the Cape Town Colony, it still had a team of soldiers stationed there - a sergeant and five soldiers. They held the British Union Jack and took a boat to the other side. When they saw the yellow people on the other side of the river, he didn't react for a while.
Who are they?
"Sir, you have now set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty's Southwest Africa Colony!"
Tian Zhong came forward and spoke in not very standard English.
"What? Ming? The Ming Empire..."
Until this time, Henry had never thought of such an empire.
"here it is……"
Looking at the unfamiliar flag flying on the flagpole, Henry originally wanted to say that this was the Cape Colony, but it seemed inappropriate because the border of the colony was the Oran River.
"Sir, this doesn't seem appropriate."
After thinking about it, Henry said.
"We came here earlier than you did. Although we are located on the south shore, we have the undisputed right of discovery over the north shore."
"Mr. Sergeant, according to the authorization of the Colonial Department of the Ming Empire, from now on, the land on the north bank of the Orange River belongs to the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire has the indisputable right to occupy this unowned land!"
What are the rights of discovery?
Discovery, if there is any discovery, it was made by the Dutch first. Discovery does not mean possession. Since you have no sovereignty declaration, this place is ownerless land.
What are the rules of Borderlands?
The biggest occupant!
