C1263 Gold Inspirations (1/2)
This was a stretch of archipelago, and the Russian fleet came down from the southwest. If one wanted to reach the Amami Oshima, they would have to pass by the De Island and the Rongliang Clan Island ahead of time, and these islands were already filled with the observation sentry's observation sentry s.
”A large amount of smoke belt appeared at sea level in the west... The target appeared... The smoke was thick and it dragged people five kilometers away. It must be the Russian fleet … Send a telegram to headquarters immediately! ”
The Ryukyu Islands were not a coral island, but a mountain range that rose up from the seabed. Therefore, these islands all had their own peaks, and their elevation ranged from tens to hundreds of meters, making it very convenient to use as an observation post.
The seabed telegraph line sent the latest intelligence to the various small islands, and following that, the various troops began to follow the plans. Xiao Letian's personal 'Golden Trap' plan had officially begun.
The ones who were nervous during the battle was not only the Ryukyu's Chinese people, the Russian Expeditionary Force was also holding his breath as he wholeheartedly immersed himself into the battle. This was an extremely dangerous region of water, only god knows what tricks Xiao Letian had.
The St. Peter rode the wind and waves, under the protection of the many warships, they flew north at their highest speed close to the ocean on the west side of Bulbus Glazed Island. At that moment, EdStefanski could even see the black muzzle of the Shouli City's cannon through his binoculars.
”We can't hide anything from these people. Bulbus Glazed Island should be able to discover us by now, I just saw figures running across the island in a daze … And their port, I found some battleships patrolling, they have already sealed off the port! ”
EdStefanski put down the telescope and turned to look at Molière. This French Wry Face Knight was also sizing up the extremely familiar island.
He himself had once led ten warships on an expedition here as the Ambassador of France, and the sound of the cannons resounded through the sky. The city was blown up into flames, and right here in this bay, they pretended to be negotiators.
Closing his eyes, Molière could still see the fire that covered the city and the soldiers who had died horribly. He had taken them out of the Indian colony, but they ended up in this barbarian land, and many of the young men could not even find their bones.
After taking in a few deep breaths, Molière sneered and said, ”Long time no see, beautiful Ryukyu! You seem to be even more prosperous than before. At that time, there weren't that many factories in the dense forest of the mountains. Now there were chimneys everywhere? Xiao Letian is really capable … ”
”Lord Commander, I formally propose to you that you do not get too excited after obtaining the gold. The treasure cave will eventually run out of gold, and the real gold mine is here, this bustling commercial harbor!”
”When the crisis in the Far East is resolved, I suggest that you take over this commercial port for the tsar. I think they will be able to provide no less than a hundred million silver coins a year … This is the real gold mine, there's no end to it! ”
”So many?” EdStefanski's eyes immediately lit up, this commander from Russia was a good commander, but after all he was still affected by the Russia's cold and bitter land, her standards were too poor.
”Hehe …” Do you know how many people there are on this island? No less than 700 thousand! Can you imagine an island with nearly 700 thousand people? Furthermore, the people here are all hardworking Chinese, their ability to create wealth is something that you cannot even imagine … ”
