In the port of Manila, more than a dozen large sail carriers are fully loaded with supplies and ready to set sail. This batch of supplies is the Far East Company's preparation for the voyage to Cape Town, South Africa. The Dutch merchant ship will hand over the cargo there.

Qiao Haipeng and Zhou Cheng stood on the pier to see off Li Shaojie and others. This time the Admiralty sent fourteen large sail carriers laden with cigarettes, smoking utensils, narcotics, and a large quantity of luxury goods. There were also four escort sailing ships.

"Shaojie, once you leave this time, it is estimated that it may be a few years before you come back. I'll hand over the Atlantic Exploration Fleet to you, and you must bring it back intact. ”

Listening to Qiao Haipeng's words, Li Shaojie hurriedly stood up and saluted again. Then he said: "Please rest assured, commander, that our Atlantic Fleet will definitely open up the situation off the coast of Brazil." ”

Qiao Haipeng smiled with satisfaction: "Shaojie, after the fleet arrives in Brazil next year, don't rush to go deep into the inland areas, you must take root in the coastal areas of Brazil, lay a good foundation and wait for the company's follow-up support." ”

Zhou Cheng also nodded and said: "The company has reached an agreement with Portugal to jointly expel the Dutch colonists, according to the agreement, our Far East will get a large area in the northeast of Brazil, so your mission this time is to establish a foothold for the company in Brazil, waiting for the arrival of our Far East follow-up fleet." ”

"Please rest assured that the company knows the severity and will never venture out without permission." Qiao Haipeng and Zhou Cheng nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and gave some more instructions before separating from Li Shaojie.

With the sound of a shrill whistle, the fleet slowly sailed away from Manila Harbor and headed for distant South Africa. The four sailing ships escorted this time are some of the ships of the Atlantic Fleet led by Li Shaojie, and there are still four sailing ships waiting for the arrival of the Atlantic Fleet in South Africa.

When the time comes, he will form the Atlantic Fleet together with Li Shaojie's four sailing ships, and cross the Atlantic Ocean next spring. Arrive in Brazil in the Americas. The first step of the Far East Company's expansion into the Americas began.

Since the spring of this year, the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Far Eastern Army has successively landed on the coast of South Africa and established colonies in the Cape Town area, the Buffalo River estuary area, the Durban area, and Richards Bay.

With the continuous arrival of large quantities of supplies, the Far East Company also began to develop the coastal areas of South Africa on a large scale. Various infrastructure facilities such as port terminals, military bases, town settlements, storage areas, airship take-off and landing centers, etc., are currently under intense construction.

The arrival of the Far Eastern Company also attracted the local greedy natives. Some tribes in southern South Africa even organized a coalition army to attack the coastal strongholds of the Far Eastern Company.

But in the face of the ferocious fire of the Far Eastern Army. The local natives with cold weapons collapsed in an instant. Of course, the Far Eastern Army would not rest on its laurels, and also organized a force to pursue these natives who had fled in all directions.

In order to make these natives have a better memory, the Far Eastern Army in charge of the pursuit killed and fought fiercely all the way, leaving no prisoners at all, and pursued them until they were dozens of kilometers deep in the inland area before stopping.

The coalition formed by the local natives of South Africa numbered tens of thousands, but not even half of them fled back in the end. Some died in the first wave of the offensive against the Far Eastern Army, and many others died under the fierce pursuit of the Far Eastern Army.

The Far Eastern Army also carried out a large-scale sweep of the indigenous villages around the base, and as long as they dared to resist, they would inevitably leave no chickens and dogs. As a result, a large number of South African natives were captured, and now they are all requisitioned by the Far Eastern Army, and they get up early and work hard for the Far Eastern Army every day.

In fact, before the Far Eastern Army arrived in South Africa, it ordered the troops to live in peace with the local natives as much as possible, and did a lot of work for this purpose. Try to have friendly exchanges with local indigenous villages.

And take out a large amount of supplies and trade with the local natives. So that the Far Eastern Company just came for a while. A very good rapport has been established with the local indigenous people.

In the market outside the Far East base, natives from all over South Africa bartered with the Far East Company every day, and in just a few months, the temporary open-air market set up by the Far East Company became extremely lively.

But what the Far Eastern Company did not expect was that it was because of the friendly attitude of the Far Eastern Company and the large number of materials in the base. Let the local natives sprout bad intentions.

The natives of the nearby villages fled to several large tribes in the interior of South Africa and tricked them into uniting to form an army of tens of thousands in an attempt to seize the property of the Far Eastern Company in South Africa.

In the eyes of a group of South African turtles, the number of Far Eastern Army troops in the coastal areas of South Africa is only a few thousand. And there are not even a few decent spears and knives, and there are almost no bows and crossbows, such strength, but guarding such a pile of treasures, is definitely a fat sheep.

The tens of thousands of troops composed of the local natives of South Africa had just arrived in the coastal areas, and they even saved the organization of the team, and directly launched a sea of people attack. Countless blacks stared at the bases in the Far East with red eyes, large knives, spears and crossbows, and frantically attacked the bases in the Far East.

Whoever would have thought that when they rushed to the fence of the Far East base, they were hit by a defensive fire net composed of more than a dozen water-cooled heavy machine guns, and in just a few moments, the natives of South Africa lost thousands of people in front of the fence of the Far East base.

With the addition of the Far East Navy, shells rained down on the crowd of the local indigenous army in South Africa, instantly shattering their confidence, and countless South African natives turned around and ran desperately as if they were crazy.

Because the crowd was too dense and all piled up in front of the fence, the whole team had a large-scale stampede, countless casualties were killed, and more than a dozen machine gun positions of the Far Eastern Army also kept firing wildly, and the water jackets of the machine guns were all boiling.

When the natives retreated, the front of the Far East base was full of layers of corpses, and there were many seriously injured natives wailing there, and the entire seaside was filled with a faint layer of blood.

The villages near the Far East base also participated in the attack, and they almost all went out of their nests, and even the elderly, women, and children took up arms and attacked the Far East base frantically.

The Far Eastern Army, which was attacked, also relentlessly resorted to inhumane massacres, looting and requisition of the local natives. Not a single prisoner was left in this battle, and many wounded local natives were stabbed to death by the Far Eastern army with bayonets.

After the war, it was calculated that more than 10,000 corpses were left in front of the Far East base, including the wounded who were assassinated by the Far Eastern Army. Plus chase along the way to kill the natives. The Far East Army wiped out more than 20,000 black natives in South Africa in this battle. (To be continued.) )
