September 3rd.
On the sixth day after receiving the order, a thousand-man team set out from Wales to the exploration team of the Minerals Division to New Guinea.
At the same time, Lei Ming led eight thousand people on ten battleships to Indonesia, where there was a city occupied by the British named Newland.
This city used to belong to the Dutch. Since it was occupied by the British, the distance of hundreds of miles with Newland as the center has been the sphere of influence of the British.
His mission here is to control Newland. According to the information raised by the imperial court, the reason why the British did not hesitate to seize Newland at war with the Dutch was not without a target.
Because there is a rich gold deposit in the Newland area, and according to the information provided by the Minerals Department, Indonesia has a rich identity of mineral resources, especially coal, tin, aluminum, nickel, copper, gold, silver and other minerals. As for how the Department of Minerals found out, he didn't know and didn't dare to ask.
After all, to people of their level, the Minerals Department is as mysterious as the Secret Guard. Anyone who enters the Minerals Department is a person with a clean background. It is difficult to explore the secrets.
Those who don't have long eyes and want to spy on the intelligence of the Minerals Department will ultimately have no good end.
"Controlled here, the steam ships that the Empire will sail in this area will not worry about no supplies."
Thundering looked at the heavily guarded city of Newland, and was discovered by the British in the city when they landed.
However, the British's high security is not worth mentioning in his opinion, because the current British firearms are not a generation behind them.
Chang Yuzhu is more interested in gold mines. He said: "Commander, if we win this gold mine, we can get a lot of merits this time, and I can buy a manor when I return to China."
The soldiers are also very excited. The motivation for them to continuously fight overseas comes from their loyalty to the empire, and the other comes from the eternal incentives of the army.
With a smile at the corner of Thunder's mouth, he said, "If that's the case, then make this battle beautiful, and if you can live without death, you will never die."
Chang Yuzhu nodded. He pointed to the machine gun and said, "With this thing, the British are scared to death. Commander, you just wait to see the results."
After all, Chang Yuzhu walked to the artillery and communicated with the artillery for a while, and then discussed the offensive strategy with the machine gunner and ordinary soldiers.
After a while, the thirty-six guns roared in unison, and the fierce gunfire instantly covered the gates of Newland.
In just an instant, Newland's gate collapsed.
Inside the city, the British garrison was already panicking. Since the defeat of the combined fleet and the occupation of Singapore, they have been living in the shadow of war.
Now they have a nightmare.
"What the is this?"
The tremendous power of the metal cannonball explosion made the British soldiers in the city extremely frightened in an instant. They had never seen such a powerful artillery.
Because the entire city gate was almost torn apart by the bombing, and even their most advanced artillery could not do it.
But they are not allowed to think, after the city gate was blown up, the bombardment did not stop, one by one shells roared and smashed into the city, and with each explosion, there was always a huge crater on the ground.
Around the crater is a restricted area of life, and no soldier can survive in this area.
There were only 5,000 British troops stationed in Newland, and the indiscriminate bombing killed the British troops in the city.
And this was only the first weapon that frightened them. After the artillery stopped firing, they heard the horn of the enemy charging.
At this time, the British soldiers living on the wall were immediately ready to counterattack, but they just raised their heads and suddenly heard the continuous shooting of "Da Da Da...".
They fell in a pool of blood before they could react, and the gunners on the wall were even more miserable. They were the key objects taken care of by the machine guns.
Every time a soldier tries to use artillery to counterattack, he will always be shot and killed by the opponent's continuous firearms. It can be said that the entire British army is being crushed and hit, and it is impossible to raise its head.
The sound of the charge was getting closer, and the British troops in the city could only abandon the head of the city and enter the city to prepare for a battle with the enemy.
But they miscalculated again. After the soldiers with rifles entered the city, soldiers with strange guns followed.
Soldiers rushing towards the Empire in dense formations continued to fall under the machine guns. Following the power of the machine guns, a small group of twelve soldiers from the Empire entered the streets and lanes to eliminate the British soldiers.
The sound of the grenade exploding sounded from time to time.
Under such a fierce offensive, the United Kingdom did not last long. Even the army with strict records could not sustain a one-sided war for too long. An hour later, the remaining 1,000 British officers in the city surrendered to Thunder.
"General, there must be a gold mine here, you see." After Lei Ming entered the city, Chang Yuzhu came over excitedly, and the soldiers behind him were carrying three boxes.
After glanced at the wooden box, Thunder Ming had a scrutiny in his heart, he let the soldiers open, and suddenly a box of yellow-orange-orange gold bricks appeared in front of him.
"According to Governor Newland, they are preparing to ship three boxes of gold bricks to India and then from India to Britain.
After a pause, he took out a map, "This is also what we found. These British people have explored many areas, and there are mineral locations they found."
Lei Ming took it and took a look with a deep smile. "This thing is more important than gold mines. There are thirteen mines on it~EbookFREE.me~ After all, he glanced at the ground and hugged his head. Governor Newland said: "I will keep this drawing for you. If there are other good things to hand over now, it will save you a little bit of sin, otherwise you will just wait and suffer. "
Governor Newland was frightened by the artillery and machine guns of the Empire. He said: "I still have an important piece of information about you, but the premise is that you must release our family first."
Thunder frowned, "You have no room for bargaining. If I am not a trustworthy person, even if you let your family members go, you can still catch them again."
"Okay." Governor Newland was frustrated, when he handed a letter from Britain to Thunder.
Taking out the letter from the letter, the translator said: "Commander, the letter says that the political situation in the Netherlands has changed due to pressure from France. The former prime minister has been ousted. Now the Netherlands has a new prime minister, and now the Dutch are turning to Britain. Compromise with France, they are ready to fight the empire together in Asia."
Thundering brows frowned, he said; "This news is too important. I will send the news back to Qingzhou immediately, and at the same time let the warships and troops sailing in the South Seas be wary of the Dutch."
