Chapter 937： Attack on Luzon (2/2)

After speaking, the middle-aged man kicked over. These days, most of the dock workers are bachelors, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, the work is hard and tired, and it is common to smoke.

Although Spain is also a signatory to the international anti-smoking regulations, it was more due to pressure from public opinion, or to give Austria a face, and it was not really implemented.

Now there are only a few European countries that have completed the anti-smoking campaign in the true sense, and it is only Austria that has carried out the anti-smoking campaign in the colonies.

The Vienna Government’s Unlimited Accountability Act, regardless of time and location, will be pulled out to shoot when a drug offender is caught, so that opium dealers all over the world will be timid to stop the spread of opium.

That's right, it just stopped the spread of drugs. The secret drug trade still exists, but the government has cracked it too hard, and drug trafficking in Austria has become the world's most dangerous profession.

The middle-aged man was originally one of them, but after he had a family, he wanted to support his family and forcibly gave up his addiction.

Because of the perseverance to quit smoking and his maturity in his work, the middle-aged man was favored by a fellow of the gang and became the little boss on the dock.

In a sense, middle-aged men are also beneficiaries of the Austrian anti-smoking campaign.

Since the establishment of Lan Fong Province, it has become the center of the gathering of Nanyang Chinese. After all, there are too few safe places these days. Every once in a while, the colonists will set off an anti-China movement to harvest wealth.

Lanfang province, under the banner of Austria, does not have to worry about threats from foreign enemies; internally, it also implements provincial autonomy. Under the influence of Austria, it also plays the rule of law.

Regardless of the law, at least there are rules of the game, so there is no need to worry about security.

With a safe investment environment, Chinese capital lacking a sense of security naturally swarmed in, directly driving the economic development of Lanfang Province.

Until now, the large Chinese families in Nanyang have basically moved their nests to Borneo.

Although it is an autonomous province, the Chinese have a natural awe of imperial power. The emperor ordered a smoking ban, and the self-government had no guts to say no.

Coupled with the promotion of people of insight, and the Austrian navy's blow to the smoke carrier, which restricted the import of opium, the anti-smoking campaign in Lanfang Province has also been completed well.

The opium sellers were shot, and the opium inhaled was forced into a drug rehabilitation center. Regardless of their status or status, they passively quit smoking, and naturally the gang leader is also indispensable.

After all, Hongmen, the largest gang in Nanyang, is essentially controlled by several big families. The upper echelons quit smoking, and the lower gang members were naturally affected.

Moreover, the anti-smoking campaign is not just a ban on smoking, it is also accompanied by a lot of publicity. By now, everyone has become accustomed to despising smoking, just as everyone resents drug use in later generations.

It's hard to persuade the **** ghost. Seeing that his words were treated as wind in his ears, the middle-aged man frowned, and he turned around and came out of sight.

”Don't follow him, he will go on like this, and sooner or later he will go to the streets. As for the issue of profit, I will communicate with the gang. Everyone is from the same town. The gang will not let you starve to death.”

The Hongmen of this year is not only a mere gang organization, but also the gathering place of the township party. Most Hongmen in various places have no compulsory binding force to each other, but bear a common brand.

This gives him different attributes. While collecting protection fees, he is also responsible for social assistance, such as helping compatriots who have just come to Nanyang to settle down and find work.

...

Warships are different from merchant ships, and they must be negotiated in advance if they want to dock. There is no doubt that this Japanese fleet is an uninvited guest.

Communication is also useless. Although the Banya Empire has fallen, and the Japanese have not been taken into consideration, it is impossible to agree to lend a port to them for transit.

Even Britain and France will not be able to come forward. The situation on the European battlefield is becoming more and more obvious. It will be enough to save face without putting the French down. How can it be on the side of France?

Seeing that the negotiations have been delayed and without results, the fleet commander Yuheng Ito coldly ordered: ”Give the prepared gifts to the Spaniards and tell them that we are just docking to buy some supplies. It will not be delayed for long. Before dark Will leave without causing him trouble.

Inform the army to be ready, take immediate action once it reaches the shore, and hit the enemy by surprise. ”

It is impossible to leave before dark. Ito Yuhiro chose this time point specially, as long as he reached the shore, he would have to drag it until dark.

The Spaniards have been operating on Luzon Island for a long time. Although the shore artillery on the island is old, its power still cannot be underestimated. If it were a strong attack, the Japanese army would have to pay a heavy price.

As for Spain's Philippine fleet, a group of eliminated sailing warships, and two old-fashioned iron-clad ships, Yutoh Ito is still not concerned.

Japan's wealth is limited, and this war must be resolved quickly. The core of the Philippines is in Luzon. As long as you win this place, the rest will be easier.

Money can push the ghosts, let alone stop for supplies for a short time?

This time, the Japanese government went south under the name of encircling and suppressing pirates, and went to Austria on the open. The Spaniards did not realize the danger at all, and even subconsciously, they never thought that the Japanese could pose a threat to them.

Although the Japanese fleet in front of them is too large, they still take it for granted that the Japanese dare not challenge Spain. It can only be said that the days of peace have been too long, making them lose their sense of crisis.

On the island, Japanese ronin in twos and threes began to gather in the tavern. This is not the first time, drinking a glass at night seems to be a Japanese habit.

If someone pays attention, you will find that these people are different in the weekdays, all of them are like chicken blood, and their eyes are full of murderousness.

...

”Some of us have been here for more than ten years, and some have just arrived last month. We have only one purpose for coming here, which is to help the empire capture Southeast Asia and drive away the white invaders.

Today the opportunity is finally here, our fleet is outside, and the general offensive will be launched at night. Our task is to take down the Government House and Municipal Building before the battle begins, and disrupt the enemy's command system.

Time is running out, now we will start distributing weapons...”
