"Commander, there is news from the vanguard that these natives are now clearing the wilderness."

"Our scouts discovered that they have begun to build large-scale city fortifications outside the city of Jhanxi. It seems that they are going to fight us there."

After listening to Gade's report, Robert snorted coldly: "Huh, these natives are getting more and more aggressive."

He looked at Gade and ordered: "Gade, order the Second Cavalry Division to set off and bring 20,000 servants, and immediately approach Jhanxi City to interfere with their continued construction of fortifications. The Sixth Infantry Division will bring 10,000 servants.

Capture all the surrounding natives, old and weak."

Robert recalled the scene when the Holy Army attacked Calcutta.

To deal with a well-fortified city defense fortress, a large number of lives must be consumed to capture it. It is best that these lives are not your own soldiers.

"Commander, why are you arresting those untouchables?" Gade is an officer who has just come from China, so he has not been exposed to this dark side.

"Ged, execute the order. You will know when the time comes." Robert obviously didn't want to explain to him.

This critical battle on the northern front will begin soon, and a very tragic scene will be staged here.

The time has entered February of the sixth year of the Renaissance. The Renaissance Army and the Great Empire are competing on the subcontinent, and the battle is anxious and fierce.

The division and confrontation between North and South America also became settled.

In a few days, the new President Abraham will take over.

In the Canadian province, a 50,000-strong army quietly landed and gathered along the Great Lakes toward the central region.

This time the troops were sent to the Canadian province, and the army had communicated with America in advance.

After the endorsement, Milijian did not publicize the matter, so the Renaissance Army did not get any information.

At the same time, 50,000 troops also landed in Vanery.

At the same time, the Caribbean Fleet, consisting of two new cruisers and four frigates, was also secretly in place.

It turns out that the Great White Fleet heading to the Indian Ocean was not the entire force of the first batch of ironclads in service.

The shipbuilding capabilities of the Great Empire are truly unfathomable.

Moreover, ironclad ships are still being built on all slipways.

During this time, the French were not idle either, and their armored fleet had also launched into the water.

This does not refer to the original "Glory", but the latest ironclad ship.

The French have always set their sights on Da Ying. What the Da Ying empire has, they must also have.

France added the twelve newly built ironclads to the Atlantic Fleet.

This seems to indicate that they will focus on Europa, Amelia and Africa.

Downing Street, London, Prime Minister's residence.

Temple is reviewing a proposal submitted by the Transport Secretary.

"Suez Canal Drilling Plan"...

This plan came very timely.

The Indian Ocean is very tense now. If there can be such a canal, the Chinese navy's control over the Indian Ocean will definitely be strengthened.

It's just that the role of the Cape Colony will become weaker.

However, the Strait of Gibraltar and Egypt are also in Da Ying's hands.

With this strait, the distance between the Dayang Navy and the subcontinent is almost the same as that of the Renaissance Army.

The original disadvantage in distance can be evened out.

But it is not an easy task to dig such a transoceanic canal.

Also, the excavation of this canal requires a lot of money.

Let's dig it in the name of the company. The annual ship tolls collected are believed to arouse the interest of those plutocrats.

The French might also be interested.

Temple thought in his mind.

After Dong Shuheng gave away the two secret killers in his hands, he went to the south and eastern Guangdong.

The Yin army on Xiangjiang Island finally surrendered.

The artillery deployed by Kowloon can even bombard it directly.

There is no need for the defenders on the island to hold on.

Finally, after learning that the Singapore garrison had surrendered, the Xiangjiang garrison had no choice but to surrender.

They have been trapped on the island for a long time, and there is no possibility of breaking out.

After the Fuxing Army took over the island, it was assigned to the East Guangdong Province.

However, Dong Shuheng obviously does not want to bury the value of this island.

This place already has a certain reputation in the outside world, which is also a value.

In addition, the Chinese people have also built some infrastructure on the island over the years.

These infrastructures have not been destroyed and can continue to be used.

So Dong Shuheng plans to build this place into a free island. Foreigners can live and do business freely on the island, and all goods brought to the island are tax-free.

At a time when relations with Europe are becoming increasingly tense, this decision is undoubtedly an olive branch to the European countries.

At the same time, it also opened a window for foreign exchanges for the Renaissance Army.

Dong Shuheng has not opened up the inland areas until now.

To be honest, he was afraid that these crooked nuts would lead the simple people under him astray.

Now that there is such an island, countries that do not have a stronghold in the east can also come here to occupy a place.

Opening a door for them to trade with the East.

Dong Shuheng’s trip to Xiangjiang was not only for on-the-spot inspection, but also to personally design and position the construction of this free island.
