Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 939

[Chapter 939 The Unexpected Device]

Weapon “Thank you, Your Highness Hong En.”

Zhou Yi, Pan Chang and other generals were all beaming.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked them to clean up the battlefield and completely control Holland Town.

In the evening, Zhao Xu entered the town accompanied by Zhou Yi.

This is a typical British town.

Most of the buildings in the town are wooden pointed houses.

Occasionally, one or two brick houses can be seen, which are the residences of the town officers and officials.

The whole town is twenty miles long and fifteen miles wide.

On the outskirts of the town is a flat grassland, on which cattle and sheep can be seen roaming, and some areas are plantations with crops such as wheat and soybeans.

But generally speaking, the main industry in Holland Town is animal husbandry, which is also consistent with what he knows.

After all, the interior of the Australian continent is dry, and only the wet coastal areas have vast grasslands.

“Your Highness, the grassland here is really endless. I don’t know how it compares to the grassland in Beidi?” From the northern end of the town to the southern end.

Zhou Yi observed with a telescope for a while, and said with emotion.

Zhao Xu smiled, and said to Zhou Yi, “It can only be said that the big picture is nothing.”

The area of the Australian mainland is nearly 8 million square kilometers, and the livestock area accounts for one-third of it.

It is conceivable how great the potential of its animal husbandry industry is.

Zhou Yi couldn’t help being startled when he heard this, “Your Highness, you mean it’s much bigger than Beidi’s pasture?”

“That’s right, otherwise why do you think this king attaches so much importance to this place?” Zhao Xu smiled lightly.

Zhou Yi grinned, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t all the soldiers have their own pasture this time?”

“Of course.” Zhao Xu gave Zhou Yi an affirmative answer.

Then he jokingly said: “About this reward for meritorious deeds, this king has a proposal, it is better to reward the soldiers with time.”

“Time?” Zhou Yi was at a loss.

Zhao Xu motioned to a nearby stable, “Take a pocket watch to time the time, let the soldiers gallop on horses, and give them as much pasture as they can run.”

Zhou Yi immediately recalled, “Hahaha, This is a good idea, and no one should complain at that time, they are the ones who ran out anyway.”

“When the entire Australian continent is taken down, we will implement it according to this.” Zhao Xu patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder, provoking him deliberately a bit.

Zhou Yi’s heart was like a cat’s scratching. He wished he could not stop immediately and lead the troops to continue going south, so he said, “Your Highness, since Hedland Town has been captured, it is enough to leave two or three thousand soldiers to detain the prisoners, and the rest can Keep going.”

“Yes, we are not tired at all, and we can continue to fight.”

“This is a small battle, let’s fight a big one.”

“…” The

generals have been following behind the two, and their The conversation naturally fell on their ears.

They also became impatient one by one.

“Since that’s the case, why don’t we go to the next colonial area after three days’ rest?” Zhao Xu wanted this effect.

There is no doubt that his commitment has given the Marines a boost.

“One day is enough. Don’t mention the generals. If His Highness’s words spread, the soldiers can’t stand it. Who can hold back.” Pan Chang shouted.

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

“Since that’s the case, the next target is Adlan.” Zhao Xu said.

He naturally wanted to end the war on the Australian mainland as soon as possible.

In the war with the Western Turkmenistan Allied Forces, this is not the main battlefield.

After agreeing on this matter, the generals went back.

The news of the staking quickly spread among the soldiers, and the fatigue of each of them dissipated instantly.

There is only the obsession in my mind to win the Australian mainland.

At the same time, Chief Pan was also ordering the soldiers to number the prisoners and townspeople.

The shackles previously reserved for prisoners were also used on townspeople.

For the soldiers, it made no difference whether they were prisoners or townspeople. From now on, their identities would be just slaves.

I took a day off.

The Marine Corps left 2,000 soldiers to guard Hedland, and the fleet set off again.

This time, they will start the final war.

Due to the fact that the Adland Territory and the New South Wales Territory are adjacent, they actually only need to attack one place.

“I hope that when we reach the Queensland Territory, Gong Ying can conquer it.”

This time, the fleet sailed eastward and passed the Queensland Territory instead of going north to reach the southeastern corner of the Australian mainland.

Because it takes more than 5,000 kilometers to go around from Hedland to the north, and it only takes more than 4,000 kilometers to reach the southeast corner eastward.

This is the difference between a ten-day sea trip and an eight-day sea trip.

Furthermore, Queensland is in the middle of the route.

A supply can be obtained here.

In this way, New South Wales can be reached after another four days of sailing.

At the same time, joining Gong Ying, they concentrated their forces, and it would be easier to launch a fatal blow.

…

at the same time.

Port Mores.

Gong Ying looked at the marine soldiers who got off the troop carrier with a relaxed expression.

Like the strategy of the Western Fleet, they also adopted a triple jump strategy.

It is to build a supply point, transport all the marines there, and then build the next supply point.

However, since they set off from Yizhou, there are sufficient troop carriers.

So five days ago, they arrived in Morz with the first group, a total of twelve thousand marines.

Afterwards, the troop carrier returned, carrying a second batch of soldiers from Morro Island.

“It’s time to attack Queensland.” All the marines were in place, and Gong Ying was in high spirits.

At this moment, a general from the troop carrier came towards him with two soldiers.

Soldiers carry a box.

After paying a military salute to Gong Ying, the general said, “General, these are the flares sent from Yizhou to Moluo Island. There are about 30 boxes.

” .

“And this.” The general thought of something, took out another letter from his pocket, and handed it to Gong Ying.

After reading the letter, Gong Ying suddenly realized.

He figured out the usage and function of flares.

I also understand that this is the military supplies sent by the Military Division after the verification was successful.

Due to their late departure, this batch of supplies could only be sent to the second supply point.

However, the fleet that King Yan was in set off early, so it was hard to say whether the supplies could be received in time.

“However, even if there is no flare, with His Highness’s wisdom, it will take some time at most.” Gong Ying muttered.

Then he looked at the box, his mind spinning rapidly.

As if thinking of something, the corner of his mouth was full of smirks.

However, in order to experience the flares for real, he decided to use one at night before making a final decision.

Wait until night falls.

Gong Ying asked people to open the wooden box and took out something like a stick from the box.

This stick has a steel shell and is a bit heavy.

There is also a gunpowder twister at the top of the stick.

According to the method in the letter, he asked the soldiers to bury the stick obliquely in the pit, and ignited the gunpowder twister.
