As a civil servant in the Prime Minister's Office, James Bond's work is always very busy. He has to work until about 8pm every day. Although he is only an ordinary middle-level civil servant, he has access to many secrets.
In fact, a lot of the work in the Prime Minister's Office is done by civil servants like them. The Prime Minister and ministers put forward ideas, and then the civil servants implement them, so there are no secrets in front of them.
Just after the Prime Minister's Office made the plan to "seize Africa", James Bond had already learned the news before the military got the news. After learning the news, James Bond
He immediately wrote a secret letter after work. Because he was pressed for time, he did not send it by mail as usual, but went directly to the emergency contact point and dropped the letter at the contact point.
After the next mark, he quietly left.
"I hope everything comes quickly!"
The reason why James is so anxious is because this matter itself is to compete with the British for time.
He also has another identity...an agent of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation.
Codename 007!
After he left, the people at the emergency contact point had taken away the letter not long after. Just over an hour later, almost when the British military had just received the news, the intelligence had been sent to Emperor Zhu Da's case.
“Seize Africa!”
Looking at the contents of the letter, Emperor Zhu Da's lips curled up and he smiled.
"It's interesting. Is this the information sent back by 007?"
Qian Zizhuang replied.
"Yes, Your Majesty, among our submarines in the UK, only 007 has penetrated into the upper levels."
After years of hard work, the Investigation Department has dispatched a large number of spies in various European countries. Those spies are no different from locals. They disguise themselves with various identities. They can do business, enter universities, and even enter military academies, and then enter
Government agencies, the military, and submarines are the most effective sources for Ming Dynasty to obtain intelligence. However, due to the short time, there is no return yet.
Anyone who has watched "Infernal Affairs" knows this trick. In history, the "submarine" sent by the Stasi in East Germany even served as the prime minister's secretary, and West Germany was infiltrated by them into a sieve!
"Well, we must ensure the safety of 007 as much as possible. Submarines like him must stay in isolation as much as possible. Even if his superior is caught, his identity cannot be exposed."
It’s not easy to train a “submarine”!
It takes time!
Of course, even though I live in the wilderness, I never expected that the most successful spy among those spies would be 007. Maybe this is a coincidence of history.
In another world, 007 is the most famous spy movie protagonist, but here? He is an agent of Ming Dynasty.
, Emperor Zhu Da even specifically asked about the intelligence of the Secret Service School, where many submarines were trained and then sent abroad to lurk for a long time.
In contrast, it seems that Emperor Zhu Da completely forgot one thing - the British conspiracy.
In fact, it's not that Emperor Zhu Da has forgotten, but... this is not something to be afraid of at all.
Seize it, you can compete with speed!
Almost an hour later, Emperor Zhu Da picked up the phone on the table.
"Hey, pick up the staff!"
The call was quickly connected. After the call was connected, Emperor Zhu Da ordered to the other side of the phone.
"Now, there is a situation that you need to understand!"
Only half an hour later, the telegram was sent through the staff radio station. What is the greatest advantage of Ming Dynasty?
It has epoch-making wireless communications. Although there is no wired telegraph connection in the Walvis Bay, a radio station has been installed on the ironclad "Qinglong". With the radio station, the fleet can naturally keep in touch with the base camp at any time.
From the Whale Bay to the mouth of the Orange River in the south, it was only a little more than 300 nautical miles. After receiving the order from the base camp, except for some troops who stayed at the Whale Bay, the other troops boarded the ship again and followed the fleet south.
At noon the next day, when the people of Orangemond, a small town located on the south bank of the Orange River estuary, were enjoying breakfast as usual, they did not even notice that two ships had arrived on the north bank.
.
The troop transport ship was anchored less than 200 meters from the coast. Soldiers in khaki military uniforms climbed down the climbing net to the white landing boat. In just half an hour, hundreds of soldiers landed on the north shore.
.
Then the landing force began to advance according to the plan, with part of it advancing inland and part of it heading south, all the way to the north bank of the Orange River. Across the not-so-wide river, Tian Zhong could even see the Western town on the other side of the river.
"Oh, what a pity, there are British people on the other side of the river, otherwise we could land directly on the other side!"
While Tian Zhong was regretting it, his subordinates buried a boundary monument there. The boundary monument was made of wood, and the words on it were also written in ink.
"The Ming Empire's Southwest South Africa Territory!"
Although it is just a few words, it clearly shows the Ming Dynasty's undisputed sovereignty over this place, because according to the map drawn by the Cape Town Colony, the colonial boundary only reaches the Orange River.
"Captain, the flagpole is up!"
"Raise the flag!"
When the flag bearer was preparing to raise the flag, Tian Zhong, the squad leader, stood in front of the queue and shouted orders.
"Stand at attention and salute!"
When the soldiers held their first-year-style rifles and paid attention to the national flag, the trumpeter blew the bugle, and the sound of the bugle echoed on the river. At this time, there were several children playing in the water watching by the river.
When they saw the movement on the north bank, they looked at the flag curiously, and soon someone ran to call the adults.
"That's where they came from!"
Sergeant Henry held a telescope and looked at the flag raised on the other side. What flag was that?
Born and raised in Cape Town, they had never seen the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty, not even until Sergeant Henry led two soldiers. Although the small town has a population of only more than a hundred people, as the largest colony of Cape Town,
In the northern town, there was still a group of soldiers stationed - one sergeant and five soldiers. They were holding the British Union Jack flag. After taking a boat to the other side, when he saw the yellow people on the other side of the river, he didn't react for a moment.
come over.
Who are they?
"Sir, now you have set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty's Southwest African colony!"
Tian Zhong, who came up to greet him, said in not quite standard English.
"What? Ming? Ming Empire..."
Until this time, Henry had never thought of such an empire.
"here it is……"
Looking at the unfamiliar flag flying on the flagpole, Henry originally wanted to say that this was the Cape Colony, but it seemed inappropriate because the boundary of the colony was the Oran River.
"Sir, this doesn't seem appropriate."
After thinking about it, Henry said.
"We came here earlier than you. Although we are located on the south bank, we have undisputed right to discover the north bank."
"Mr. Sergeant, according to the authorization of the Colonial Department of the Ming Empire, from now on, the land on the north bank of the Orange River belongs to the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire has the undisputed right to occupy this unclaimed land!"
What is the right of discovery?
Discovery, if you want to say discovery, it was the Dutch who discovered it first. Discovery does not mean possession. Since you have not declared sovereignty, then this is unclaimed land.
