The Ottoman Turkish Empire is now powerful, and one country single-handedly fights the whole of Europe, but the port officials are not stupid, seeing that it is the gunboat of the Oriental, and has seen Chinese merchant ships before, knowing that there are large Chinese countries in the East, which cannot be underestimated.

Hong Xiguan's flagship docked, but he didn't go ashore, and the local officials were not qualified to invite him ashore!

"Our chief is the special and plenipotentiary representative of the Southeast Prefecture, please send a representative from your local governor!" The officer on the flagship said this, and this was a polite statement.

The officials of the country of Turkey were not annoyed, saying that they had sent the news of the arrival of the great Chinese country in the East to Ali Pasha, the governor of Egypt, and awaited his instructions.

As a result, Ali Pasha, who was in Cairo, sent an envoy to say that he would come to the port to meet with the envoy of the southeastern province.

So the port officials became more and more respectful, and they brought good food, fresh water, fruits and vegetables, and visited the ship, and eagerly watched.

In addition to them, there were also Chinese shipowners in this area who came to ask for a visit, and there were as many as five of them, and Hong Xiguan personally received them and communicated with them.

The southeast government has abided by the law, paid taxes on time, and acted like officials did not favor the people, and did what they said, and those ship owners were also calm in the face of the generals.

During the exchange, it turned out that this place was the shortest and easiest to do business from the Mediterranean, and the Ottomans collected heavy taxes, but they could smuggle and buy officials to transport goods from the East to the West.

But on the whole, the logistics here are not easy, and the Ottomans are very strict, so the business volume is not large.

Then some shipowners came to visit the ship, and for these crooked nuts, Hong Xiguan did not meet them, but he met with a Chinese boss.

His name is Xu Anren, and he opened a restaurant in this port city!

In other words, he has already settled here, and he came on board to deliver a meal, which was ordered by the Southeast Army.

Xu Anren is a very simple man, in his forties, and always has a modest smile on his face.

He took the guy to send the food box to the officer's restaurant of the cruiser, the guy retreated, and only Hong Xiguan and his adjutant were in the restaurant, Xu Anren took out the dishes one by one, and introduced: "This is grilled stuffed sea cucumber, this is mandarin duck anchovy shrimp, cowboy bones, gold medal fried pigeon, stewed lamb......"

Hong Xiguan stood solemnly and said: "The great cause of the Southeast Mansion will be successful!" ”

Suddenly, Xu Anren stopped moving, he looked at Hong Xiguan, and he was flustered, until Hong Xiguan said it again for the second time: "The great cause of the Southeast Mansion will be successful!" ”

He replied jerkily: "Red-haired Paris has fallen!" ”

Hong Xiguan said again: "Your name is unknown! ”

"Your deeds live forever!" Xu Anren said in a trembling voice.

The hands of the two suddenly clasped tightly together, and they said in unison: "Comrade! ”

Comrade, is the name between the members of the Southeast Provincial Intelligence Bureau, expressing that everyone is like-minded, and the answer between the two just now is a joint signal.

Hee An-jen was an intelligence agent embedded in the Ottoman Empire, and five years ago, he was ordered to arrive here to work secretly in the Sinai Peninsula.

The main task is to explore the route, find the best route between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, and prepare to dig the canal!

The canal, named the Suez Canal, was named by the leader.

For the next five years, the intelligence bureau has not contacted Xu Anren, it is too far to make a trip, and the budget of the intelligence bureau is also limited.

This time, Hong Xiguan opened the sea route, and the Intelligence Bureau entrusted him to connect with Xu Anren.

"How did you complete your mission?" Hong Xiguan asked.

"Report to the chief, I've completed all line exploration!" Xu Anren said excitedly.

"Very good, tell me about it!" Hong Xiguan asked the adjutant to take out a pen and paper, and Xu Anren drew a rough route map, which was to cross the many lakes of the Suez Isthmus, from Suez City diagonally to the north, to connect to Port Said, and determine the route of the canal.

"I've walked all the routes, and digging the canal is not a problem, but I'm afraid of the height between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and I'm afraid that I will have to build locks." Xu Anren said.

"No, the leader said, there is no height difference, no need to build locks!" Hong Xiguan said bluntly.

"The leader's words must be right!" Xu Anren echoed.

"Your materials are ready, and the next time we order, you will send them!" Hong Xiguan said.

"Understood!" Xu Anren nodded.

"Tell us a little bit about you!" Hong Xiguan said: "At that time, your situation and experience will also have to be handed over together, and you will be in the file!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Anren responded.

"Come, let's talk while we eat!" Hong Xiguan greeted.

Everyone took their seats, and Xu Anren had the most relaxing meal in a few years, which was in a gay atmosphere, not in the tiger's wolf's den.

Xu Anren recounted his experience over the past five years, arriving at Suez City and finding it truly lawless and chaotic.

There is the Ottoman Turkish Empire above, but below is an unruly and unruly tribe that does not listen to propaganda, robbing and vendetta...... He repaid his debts twice, once when his refuge tribe was suppressed by another tribe, and once when the port officials who followed him were raided.

Fortunately, he has good cooking skills and belongs to craftsmen, and all forces still welcome craftsmen, and he survived after all.

Three years ago, he married a girl from a large local tribe and had to join the church before he gained trust.

With the support of the clan, he opened a restaurant, specializing in oriental food, and the business was good.

Every year, in the name of going to the Mediterranean to collect food, he explored the road and finally completed the task.

To put it mildly, the thrilling in it can be imagined by the listener.

"What do you think of the Ottoman Empire?"

"They are nominally strong, but in reality they are not very well governed, without our central, provincial, city, county, and township five levels of rule, the tribes are very powerful, and sometimes the Ottoman Empire has to let them ...... three points"

"The Ottoman Empire and its tribes are very adapted to warfare in the desert and can travel long distances, which should not be underestimated."

"Their regime is very corrupt, corruption and bribery are rampant, but the authority of the caliph (the head of the empire) is still very heavy, and no matter how much bribes we pay, it is difficult to communicate trade with the East and the West, and I think that a deal with the Ottoman Empire can be done, and there is no need to think about ......trade with Europe," Xu Anren said. After eating, the conversation was over, Hong Xiguan stood up, put on a military hat, straightened his military appearance, and solemnly gave a military salute to Xu Anren!

Xu Anren, the rank of captain in the Intelligence Bureau, and Hong Xiguan is a major general, generally, the subordinates pay tribute to the superiors first, and Hong Xiguan is upside down, he is paying high tribute to the unsung heroes lurking behind enemy lines!

The current name of the person who is on a mission outside will not be this name!

Xu Anren hurriedly returned a military salute, and his gestures were a little rusty.

Waiting for Xu Anren to pack up, he took a batch of funds and left (in fact, he was not short of money, but Hong Xiguan still asked him to take it, Hong Xiguan saw him off the ship, and asked as if to himself: "Can we trust him?" ”

The adjutant thought: "The general trend is mine, and smart people will naturally choose where to go." ”

Hong Xiguan nodded and said to the adjutant: "The great cause of the Southeast Mansion will be successful!" ”

The adjutant picked up: "Red-haired Fan Paris has fallen!" ”

"We're really going to win!" Hong Xiguan said slowly: "There is me on the battlefield, there is you, fighting bloodily for the great cause of the Southeast Mansion, there are intelligence officers behind the enemy to collect intelligence, and there is a wise command of the leader, we have no reason to fail!" ”

"We, we will definitely let the red-haired Paris fall!" He said firmly.
