Li Ming and Gao Jianguo were not surprised by the attachment of Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang, after all, the trend of the times was the same, and it was a matter of time before the two of them attached. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so soon, it seems that the two of them have already seen the shape clearly, which also saves the trouble of the Far East in the future.

Gao Jianguo sent everyone away, and there were only a few standing committee members of the Military Commission left in the Luzon Garrison Command. He glanced at everyone, and then said with a smile: "Yesterday Billy Zhou handed over his plan to me, I took a brief look, and estimated that the possibility of going through the board committee is very low. Not to mention those members of the Democracy Committee, even I shudder when I see it.

I have to admit that this is indeed the best and most direct way. Although the cycle is longer, if the Nanyang problem can be solved once, it will be regarded as a great thing for the benefit of our nation. I'll memorize this infamy, anyway, they don't have a good impression of me, and someone in the company has already called me a warlord behind my back, I don't care, haha......"

Li Ming said with a smile: "This is not good, this is the organizational decision of the Military Commission." Moreover, Billy Zhou's plan is to set up a subsidiary, and it is enough to find someone else to do it, and the Far East Company must not wade into this troubled water. ”

At this time, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked in, and then said excitedly: "I just received a telegram from the ocean exploration fleet......

Li Ming stood up with a "whew" after hearing this, and hurriedly asked, "Where are they now?" How's it going? ”

Everyone laughed when they saw Li Ming's appearance. Li Ming rarely has such a gaffe, everyone knows that he has been worried about Song Tao, but he has been suppressing himself, and now he can't hold back all of a sudden.

"This telegram was forwarded from the Colombo intelligence station, and the intelligence said that they were all right and were resting in the waters near the Maldives islands."

Listening to the staff officer's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone's mood was heavy during this time. More than 1,000 people have been out for almost a year, just in time for the invasion of the European coalition, and the ocean-going exploration fleet will inevitably affect everyone's hearts.

Gao Jianguo laughed and said, "I'll just say, it's nothing big if there's this kid Song Tao." You see that he usually hangs Lang Dang, but he can still stand up at critical moments. After this time, he should be more mature. I will definitely be able to take on a big responsibility in the future. ”

Qiao Haipeng also said: "Not only that, but the officers and soldiers of the fleet who have been honed by the ocean will also be good seedlings of the Admiralty in the future." I can't sleep well these days, they are the best cadres and soldiers of our Admiralty, and now they are finally back, they are the future of our Admiralty. ”

Li Ming sat down, thought for a while, and said, "I think Song Tao will send back telegrams one after another, they must have experienced something along the way, or they will not repair in the Maldives." It seems that he sent this telegram only to reassure us. Otherwise, he would have crossed the Strait of Malacca a long time ago. ”

Gao Jianguo nodded when he heard this: "Then we have to speed up our actions." Lao Li, how is the preparation of the Combined Fleet? ”

Li Yukun said with a smile: "Our logistics department, the logistics branch established in Manila, is prepared for the future southward to the Southeast Asian islands, and in the warehouse of the Manila logistics branch, all kinds of combat readiness materials are very sufficient, and now the supply of the combined fleet is in the process of intense supply. It is expected that the replenishment of the ships will be completed tomorrow evening. ”

When Gao Jianguo heard this, he smiled and said, "Li Ming." The day after tomorrow, the fleet will set off, striving to do so in the shortest possible time. Give me all the key locations in the Nanyang Islands. Then you choose the elite and form an attack fleet to rush out of Malacca and attack in the direction of India. ”

Immediately after the meeting, Li Ming sent a telegram back to Song Tao, which finally allowed Song Tao to understand the situation in Luzon through several rounds of information stations and radio stations in Manila, Bandar Bega, Batavia, Malacca, Bataaceh, Colombo, and other places.

Song Tao and the others were also terrified when they received the telegram. However, the company finally defeated the invasion of the eight-nation alliance in Europe and launched the Luzon Campaign, which eliminated tens of thousands of European colonists and captured hundreds of sailing ships. And they will soon wave the Nanyang Islands, and the Nanyang Convention and Exhibition will swallow the entire Nanyang.

The Combined Fleet ends the Battle of the South Seas. Li Ming also had to lead the fleet out of the Strait of Malacca, sweep away the major colonies of the British, Portuguese, and Dutch in India, and completely drive the Western colonists out of the East.

This news made Song Tao breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they also felt excited. After research, the ocean-going exploration fleet decided to temporarily rest in the Indian Ocean and wait for the arrival of the company's main fleet. When the time comes, cooperate with the main fleet for the Indian campaign.

Indian Ocean, Maldives archipelago, Addu Atoll.

After Song Tao sailed to this sea area with the ocean-going exploration fleet, in order to avoid misunderstanding, they hung the Arab star and moon flag that Alia gave them. Not to mention, they did come across a couple of Arabian Delta sailing boats.

A group of Arabs saw six Western-style sailing ships and were so frightened that they fled for their lives, but how could they outrun the sailing boats. Just when they wanted to fight hard, they suddenly saw the Xingyue Banner on the demeanor ship at the head, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Xingyue Flag on the other party's ship made them relax, they did not let down their guard at all, or Ding Xinghao boarded the other party's ship with a small boat, and communicated with the other party in Arabic for a long time, and they found that the other party was a yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese, which made them completely accept the goodwill of the Far East Fleet.

After Ding Xinghao said Alia's name, the Arabs were even more relieved, because they had already recognized the Star and Moon Flag. The ocean-going exploration fleet, led by several Arab schooners, finally came to the island they had been to and met the beautiful Arab maiden Aliya.

Alia was very excited to see them again, and once again took Song Tao and Ding Xinghao to the luxurious tent and warmly entertained them. Of course, the staple food is still roasted camels.

Ding Xinghao has become silent since he saw Alia. But Alia didn't care at all, and deliberately sat next to Ding Xinghao. Although the two did not communicate much, the atmosphere in the tent was still very strange.

Song Tao and the others could clearly feel the smell of adultery.

Ding Xinghao glanced at Song Tao, but Song Tao nodded quietly. Ding Xinghao thought about it for a while, and then proposed the plan that the fleet had made before with the other party. Alia and several old Arabs in the tent listened to Ding Xinghao's plan, and their faces all became solemn. (To be continued......)
