C839 The lonely Emperor (1/2)
had sent Tang Lei to be the person in charge of the ISI and was also the ambassador of the Chile. This was the person who led the officials of the South America.
Back then, Tie Toutuo had a very close relationship with the Imperial Guard Li Shixian's army, so Tie Toutuo had sent several intelligence reports to the Imperial Attendant King. He knew that the Taiping Army that fought in the war against Fujian had a very good relationship with him, so Xiao Letian made Tie Toutuo the commander of this new ten thousand Expeditionary forces, the leader of the generals.
A scissor boat needed around fifty to sixty sailors to control it at will. Now, it was specially used to transport cold air, so five hundred or so people was the limit, because crossing the Pacific Ocean was too dangerous. It required a large amount of water and food to be stored, and it was best for the staff to be scattered.
A single merchant ship could only fill up to 500 veterans, as well as various equipment and food and water. The ten thousand strong army needed to form a fleet of 20 large sailboats to set off together.
”This won't do, 20 ships is definitely not enough, let's split up the manpower... At the very least thirty merchant ships must be prepared, and and Tang Lei must be ordered to bring extra food, fresh water and medicine.
”Bring as many nutritious things like tea leaves, citrus fruits and lemons as you can with you. Prepare more soybeans and mung beans as well. Growing bean sprouts are very good vegetables …” Please don't let the battle go on without losing players! ”
Xiao Letian's temporary flagship Roman was now cruising through the Southern Sea of China. There were numerous islands and reefs scattered everywhere, and the spring storm in the Southern Sea was not strong enough.
But Xiao Letian didn't have the slightest intention to play around. This Heaven veterans Expedition was just a test for him and the officials of the Prime Minister's Manor, it was a test on their execution ability.
”According to plan, who wouldn't? ”We have enough time. We can make all kinds of preparations and improve our work bit by bit. What really tests us is this kind of sudden event …”
”None of us expected that there would be such a lone army fighting in the South America, and we even less expected that they had already started to affect the political situation there. If we do not support them now, who will? The heavens are dead, but the dream of peace cannot be shattered! ”
”Sudden events will be our big test. It will depend on your abilities …”
Wang Huaiyuan, Xiao Hexin and the rest who were at the side had their eyes turn as red as a rabbit's. At that time, the most detailed map of the Pacific Ocean was laid out on the table.
”What Prime Minister said is correct. We would rather spend more money than to let him off. We must do our best to ensure our safety …” ”I propose that we increase the number of ships to 35, so that we only have 350 veterans per ship. On one hand, the living conditions will be better, on the other hand, even if we sink a few ships in a storm, we can still bear the loss …”
Xiao Letian slammed the table: ”That's right, and I suggest for the whole fleet to set off together, so that even if they meet with danger in the ocean, they would still have to take care of each other, even if it's a civilian merchant ship, but the more there are the more there are the more terrifying it is. Those one or two pirate ship s would definitely not dare to touch such a fleet, even if the Western Powers's fleet were to meet a civilian fleet of such a large scale, they would not dare to act rashly!”
”I'll do it like this. The document is ready to send a telegram by shore …”
Roman continued to wander along the boy's coastline, providing supplies and exchanging information in the port from time to time. There were even times when Roman would encounter merchant ships that were transporting veterans, and whenever they saw Xiao character recognition flag, they would let out crazy howls.
The soldiers on the deck, whose eyes were brimming with tears, kneeled down in gratitude for the Prime Minister's saving them. The scene was extremely shocking. However, in the midst of all these exciting events, Zai Chun was nowhere to be seen.
