Chapter 740 (2/2)

Stone bear visited several imperial strategic fortress cities in the Indonesian archipelago, then went south to Australia, then flew by airship to Sydney in the East and Melbourne in the southeast from Darwin in the north of Australia, finally flew by airship to the southwest of Australia, and circled a circle in a certain place for the imperial Ministry of mining's surveyors to survey here.

The place where the stone bear painted the circle is in kalguli, where there is a world-class gold mine

In the northwest of Australia, the stone bear drew a larger circle from the map, which is the Pilbara and Hammersley basins, and also the largest iron ore mine in Australia in the future

Having golden finger is so arrogant!

Later generations all over the world are fighting for the top of all kinds of mineral resources, but in this era, mineral resources are everywhere. Just draw a circle on the map and send someone to dig it, and you can get a steady stream of resources

After staying in Australia for three months, the fleet set out again in October and began to sail towards the Asian continent.

In fact, as early as after balutu came to Davao, he contacted the Qing Dynasty several times on behalf of the Great China empire. Perhaps because of the same yellow skin and black hair, balutu was well received in the Qing Dynasty.

By this time, the Qianlong old man was gone, and now the emperor Jiaqing was in power in the huge Qing Empire. However, at this time, the Qing Dynasty had begun to turn from prosperity to decline, and the policy of seclusion made the Qing Dynasty miss the last opportunity to rise.

When Daoguang, Jiaqing's son, came to power more than 30 years later, the Opium War would break out, and then the great country would be plunged into more than a century of decline.

For this country, the stone bear is also very contradictory.

As a Han Chinese, plus previous education, he did not like the Qing Dynasty. Shi Xiong really doesn't want to see the old lady Cixi come to power, and then toss away the last breath of vitality of this great country. Shi Xiong was willing to let the Qing Dynasty fall quickly.

But the problem is that if we don't care now, this great country is bound to sink down as it did in previous lives, which is not what stone bear wants to see.

Now the stone bear has fallen into such a contradictory situation.

If the Empire were in charge, then the Opium War and the eight Nation Alliance would not exist any more. The Empire now has more and more powerful naval power, relying on more and more powerful Southeast Asian colonies. Once the European powers attack the Qing Dynasty, the imperial fleet will definitely fight the European powers back to Africa.

But in this way, the Qing Dynasty will no longer be bullied by the European powers, but similarly, without the strong pressure of foreign enemies, who knows when this shabby Dynasty will last until it is destroyed.

But if the Empire doesn't do it, it's something that stone bear doesn't want to see to watch this great country being bullied by European powers. After all, the Qing Dynasty was bullied, and the people at the bottom suffered the most.

Stone bear really does not want to see the people of this great country humiliated like that.

Under such circumstances, the stone bear arrived in tianjinwei on the Denve
