Chapter 950 Oliver
"Your Highness, we found a fleet of the Western natives in the southern waters, and they were sailing towards Jakar."
Zhao Xugang set foot on Timor Island, and a steamboat arrived from the south, bringing the information found.
In order to grasp the situation in the Australian waters, Zhou Yi sent eight steamships to investigate the nearby waters.
"Their warships were also loaded with young and strong Western natives." The general continued.
Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this.
Previously, the coal loaded by the steamship could not sail too far because the supply points had not been established.
Therefore, their investigation scope has not been extended to southern Australia's waters.
The Marines conquered Timor Island, which had only a hundred Stewards defenders and seized the supply points here.
Their supply ships transported coal and grain from Luzon to the place.
The steamship expanded its scope of reconnaissance and unexpectedly got this information.
"During this period, the Western natives may have been evacuating the British on the Australian continent." Zhou Yi said to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu thought deeply and suddenly sneered, "No, this is not evacuation, they are just replenishing the source of troops. The people living here are all serious prisoners from Britain. Do you think the coalition forces will care about their lives? Furthermore, the reconnaissance ship said that there are only young and strong on the warship, which can prove this."
"So that's how it is." Zhou Yi knew it, "But since this, it's easier to win the Australian continent."
"Not necessarily, they are afraid that they will not come to Australia empty-handed. They will definitely give Australian British prisoners muskets and artillery to prevent us from taking this place." Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed.
After pausing, he said, "After explaining this time, the generals should not have any sympathy for the soldiers who are in charge of the soldiers of the Northern Di. They are cruel but not inferior to the Northern Di. Moreover, they are all evil and severe prisoners and their descendants."
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhou Yi responded.
Zhou Yi left, and Zhao Xu looked towards the direction of the Australian continent.
For him, it was only slightly more difficult to conquer the Australian continent this time than to conquer Luzon.
The only troublesome thing is that they need to spend more time on the sea.
As for the number of places that need to be logged in to combat, there are actually only four places.
These are the four colonies established by Britain along the coast.
One is Hedland Territory, just south of Timor Island, located in Western Australia.
The colonial area of Dong'ao is led by Queensland, which is the direction of Gong Ying's attack.
The remaining two are in the east and west corners of the southern Australian continent.
One is called the New South Wales Collar and the other is the Adelan Collar.
Among these four colonies, Hedland has the smallest population, with only about 80,000 people.
New South Wales has the largest population, with about 250,000 people.
It is precisely because of this that he decided to take down the Hedlands and Queenslands first, and finally join forces to attack New South Wales and the Adelands adjacent to New South Wales.
...
at the same time.
In New South Wales, a British steamship slowly docked at the port.
A British soldier came down from a steamer and handed over the collected information to the officers at the port, and then left.
After scanning the documents, the officer changed his expression slightly and immediately walked into the city, passing the news to Governor Oliver.
Because Britain has many colonies overseas.
Therefore, there are also many governors sent by Britain every year.
These governors had great power in the colonies, and they also had full military and administrative power.
However, even the Governor is of different rank.
For example, Bolt is higher than Oliver in terms of level.
In some matters, Oliver needed to follow Bolt's orders.
"Governor Oliver, the steamship of the Dasong Navy once approached the Adelan Territory, but I am afraid that the attack from Dasong is not far away." The officer reported to Oliver.
He was Oliver's most trusted officer, named Joseph, and had the title of colonel.
"I'm finally here, I'm impatient to wait." The blond man lying on the leather jacket opposite the officer raised the corner of his mouth, touching the scar on his face, making him look even more cold.
He spitted out a smoke ring with his mouth wide, and he said casually, "Bolter is so scared by Dasong people that he wants to wet his pants. This time I want to see what a real man is."
"The whole of Britain knows that Governor, you are a real man, but the Dasong people don't seem so easy to deal with. After all, they not only defeated Mafore, but also defeated Folangjiren in Manila." Joseph reminded him in a vague way that he knew the irritable temper of the Governor and did not dare to give advice directly.
"This can only prove their incompetence, and the British Empire has lost all their faces." Oliver was furious, "Let me tell them how to treat these damn Eastern natives."
After saying that, he picked up a human head decoration on the table and threw it hard on the ground.
With a "pop", the head was shattered under Joseph's feet, and part of it fell on his leather boots.
Joseph shook it in disgust.
This is not just a decoration, in fact, this skull decoration was made by an Australian Aboriginal girl's head.
Ten years ago, Oliver, who was still a colonel in New South Wales, led his army to encircle and suppress the indigenous tribes in the north of the colonial territory.
While he was massacring the native, the native girl rushed out and bit off one of his fingers.
And he cut off the girl's head and made it into decoration.
It was Oliver's ferocity that made the four Australian colonists and prisoners fear him like a devil.
Of course, because of this, these outlaws are so honest under Oliver's jurisdiction.
"Go tell everyone that men, women, young and old, as long as they can get weapons, they must participate in this war. I will stop the victory of the Da Song army in Australia and prove to our Queen that I am more suitable to be the Governor of India than Bolt." Oliver continued to shout.
"Yes." Joseph turned and left.
During this period, they received a total of 30,000 front-mounted rifled guns and 36 field guns.
Of these, ten thousand of them were sent to the other three colonial corpses and left most of the firearms in New South Wales.
But even so, most people still have no weapons.
But this is no longer important. They are already in this war and everyone is going to fight for Britain.
"Jon and the others should also get the letter. I hope these three boys don't let me down, otherwise I will definitely crush their heads." As soon as Joseph arrived at the door, Oliver muttered again.
Joseph stopped for a moment, and Jon and the other three were his three captains.
They stationed in the other three colonial territories respectively.
If everything is normal, the Dasong army's attack on the Australian continent will begin with their colonial territories.
