The battleship Ruiguo Lancheng directly used the tactical loudspeaker and shouted: "I am General Wang Kaixin of Ruiguo. This port belongs to our country of Ruiguo. Unrelated personnel should leave immediately."
General Pang Pangshan of Chu State heard a sound coming from the direction of the sea.
He looked at his subordinates' worried expressions and snorted coldly: "The battleship's guns are indeed very powerful, but don't worry.
The battleships of our Chu State and the battleships of our ally Song State are both at the harbor.
Our battleships will never let the opponent's battleships fire on land."
After General Pang Pangshan finished speaking, he looked at the situation on the sea with his binoculars.
Indeed, as he said, the Chu Navy and the Song Navy had no unnecessary nonsense.
They directly formed horns, preparing to surround the Swiss navy.
When Wang Kaixin, the general of Rui State, saw this situation, sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
He did not expect that Chu and Song would form an alliance in advance, and the navies of the two countries would work together to expel them.
Rui's navy was not strong to begin with, so he originally wanted to exploit the conflicts between Chu and Song to achieve the purpose of landing.
All subsequent actions will have to wait for the exploration team to determine the authenticity and scale of the Jinhe gold mine.
The Jinhe Gold Mine is a fake news, or an indication of a gold mine with poor reserves.
It simply won't bring several countries into conflict.
These generals will not let this conflict happen.
Rui General Wang Kaixin looked at the direction of the Yue fleet.
If Chu and Song unite and successfully expel Rui, Yue will become isolated and helpless, and the final result will be expulsion.
General Wang Kaixin was waiting for Yue's reaction.
He believed that Yue Guo could definitely see the current situation clearly.
Only by uniting can Rui and Yue jointly deal with Chu and Song.
General Wang Kaixin saw Chu's warships getting closer and closer.
His palms gradually became sweaty, ready to order the battleship to fire at any time.
As soon as the cannon fires, the situation will slip to an irreversible point.
General Wang Kaixin's order to fire the artillery had already reached his throat.
He suddenly heard a deep voice coming from the Vietnamese warship.
"I am Wu Yi, the general of the Yue Kingdom. I think everyone should calm down.
First send an exploration team to confirm the authenticity of the gold mine.
Don't let us fight here, the value of this gold mine is not enough for cannonballs.
You, Chu and Song, cannot monopolize it. If you attack the Rui fleet, we, Yue, will never stand idly by."
When Chu and Song heard the Yue fleet's attitude, after weighing the pros and cons, the warships began to withdraw to the port and gave up their landing positions.
When General Pang Pangshan of Chu State saw this situation, his expression became even more serious.
The situation has reached an explosive level, and Rui and Yue still refuse to give in.
Once the authenticity of the Jinhe Gold Mine is determined, conflicts will inevitably arise over the ownership of the gold mine.
The armies of Vietnam and Switzerland began to land in an orderly manner, and the navies of the two countries were at war near the coast.
They looked around vigilantly, preparing for Chu and Song to launch a sudden attack while the army was landing and its combat effectiveness was at its weakest.
No accidents occurred, and the armies of Rui and Yue successfully landed.
They began to build camps, dig trenches, and set up cannons.
In order to prevent the sudden attacks of Chu and Song, Rui and Yue.
The two countries are relatively close, but they are still on guard against each other.
The four countries communicated with each other through loudspeakers, and they unanimously reached an agreement to first send an exploration team to confirm the approximate gold reserves of gold and gold mines.
The four countries formed an exploration team of equal strength, holding prospecting tools and carrying wireless telegraph machines.
Depart from the harbor and head to Jinhe Gold Mine.
Liu Yue saw the members of the exploration team, who were using chain saws to clear away the big trees blocking the road.
It is too difficult for their private expedition team to go into this kind of jungle.
An exploration team composed of national forces used chain saws to cut down tall trees when they encountered obstacles blocking the road, and used explosives to destroy rocks blocking the road.
It only took them three days to reach the small river Jinhe.
Liu Yue said excitedly: "This is the Jinhe River, and the gold mine is in the upper reaches of the river."
He heard a familiar voice next to him.
"Yes, this is the Golden River, and there are crocodiles and piranhas in this river.
When we were fetching water from the river, we were attacked by a small crocodile.
The crocodiles in the river didn't disappear until the clear water area upstream."
Liu Yue looked in the direction of the sound. It was his teammate Zhou Jinglei.
He smiled helplessly at his teammates, who suffered the same fate as him, being captured by these countries.
Liu Yue now accepts his fate and can only try his best to cooperate with these people to find the gold mine, so that he can have a chance to survive.
When the leader of the expedition team, Sun Songbai from Chu, heard the news that the two were confirmed, he immediately notified the port to transport the speedboat here.
The expedition team camped on the spot, checked their equipment, and prepared to rush to the gold mine by waterway.
The purpose of the exploration team was to find gold mines and determine their size.
There are too few of them to decide the ownership of the gold mine, so there is no conflict of interest.
In this way, the exploration team has a basis for cooperation and will not stab each other.
Captain Sun Songbai calculated the speed of crossing land and water routes.
They waited for a while and took a speedboat to the gold mine, which was the fastest way.
Captain Sun Songbai arranged for some people to keep watch at night. They had to guard against wild beasts in the jungle and possible indigenous tribes.
At dawn, when everyone in the exploration team was sleeping, they heard the huge roar of the engine.
These people walked out of the tent one after another and saw a tractor pulling a flatbed truck on the road they had driven on.
The tractor's tracks dug into the jungle soil.
The path it took looked like a deep plowed ditch.
No one cares about the tractor's ability to move through the rainforest.
They focused all their attention on the speedboat on the flatbed.
This is a small steel ship equipped with a diesel engine.
When Liu Yue saw the tractor, he was shocked and said with emotion: "Fortunately, it is the dry season in Africa now.
If it was rainy season when they were exploring, the tractor wouldn't be able to move at all."
Members of the exploration team worked together to push the boat into the river.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The team members who know mechanics installed the diesel engine and propeller.
The load of this ship, including the necessary equipment, cannot accommodate all the members of the exploration team.
The exploration team can only choose part of the people to stay and the other part to take the ship to the gold mine.
The roar of the diesel engine sounded, and the ship quickly sailed upstream.
Someone from the exploration team kept using cameras to record the scenery along the way.
Sun Songbai stood at the stern of the boat holding a gun. He remained vigilant and observed the movements around him.
Prevent possible enemies from suddenly attacking their ships.
Sun Songbai observed that the ship's wake showed a faint red color.
He was quite familiar with this situation. The fish in this river had never seen propellers before.
They heard the sound of propellers and didn't know how to evacuate.
The propeller touches these fish and quickly cuts these fish into several pieces.
The ship had gone far away, and the fish blood floated to the surface of the water.
Liu Yue had been standing on the bow of the ship. He lamented that the ship was too fast.
Their expedition team previously needed to travel a day's journey, but this ship can complete the journey in dozens of minutes.
After the ship turned the corner, Liu Yue saw a familiar scene and said excitedly: "There is gold sand in the river ahead, and not far from here is the Jinhe Gold Mine."
Liu Yue's words shocked everyone in the exploration team.
They came here to explore for gold mines. The appearance of gold sands at the bottom of the river proves that gold mines indeed exist.
After that, they only need to estimate the size of the gold mine and complete this task.
The boat continued to move forward, and the river water began to become clear.
Facing the evening sun, they discovered the golden river ahead.
The boat began to slow down, and the exploration team took out their ladles and began to dig out the mud at the bottom of the river.
The silt in the river was poured on the deck, and everyone saw that the silt was glittering with gold and contained many tiny golden sands.
Captain Sun Songbai said excitedly: "There is really gold sand in the river, and the Jinhe gold mine does exist."
He immediately ordered: "Speed up, we must feel the location of the gold mine before dark."
The exploration team members were so excited that they operated the ship and moved forward quickly.
Liu Yue pointed out the location of the gold mine based on his memory.
The boat entered a narrower tributary, and the bottom of the boat began to touch the mud at the bottom of the river.
Captain Sun Songbai saw that this situation was not good, so he immediately stopped the ship and took the exploration team with supplies to the location of the gold mine pointed out by Liu Yue.
This is not far from the underground river that breaks out of the golden sands.
Captain Sun Songbai was in charge of guarding, and he did not carry equipment.
Most of the members of the exploration team held their equipment carefully.
These equipment used for prospecting are extremely valuable. Once damaged, you can only wait until a new one is sent from the back.
The weight of the equipment was so heavy that everyone was breathing heavily.
As a guide, Liu Yue did not have any transportation equipment and acted relatively relaxedly.
Seeing the familiar scene in front of him, he immediately said in surprise: "This is the corner of the gold mine we discovered.
Ahead is an underground river that produces a lot of gold sand.
There are also materials around it that we abandoned in order to store more gold."
When the exploration team members heard Liu Yue's words, they immediately showed surprise.
The geological expert in the exploration team jogged a few steps and quickly walked to the underground river.
They used flashlights to illuminate the underground river.
They can only see the outlet of the underground river, and cannot detect the specific conditions of the underground river.
A geological expert looked at the gold sand at the outlet and said in surprise: "With gold sand of this size, the reserves of this gold mine must be at least one hundred tons."
Captain Sun Songbai was very excited when he heard about this reserve.
Gold is extremely valuable, but it generally does not circulate in the market.
Using gold as a currency is a luxury.
If one hundred tons of gold were used as the reserves of the Bank of Chu, it would be able to issue at least hundreds of millions of silver coins in banknotes.
The people's confidence is still strong, and Chu's banknotes will not plummet.
Sun Songbai knew that as Zhao and Xiang were mining large quantities of silver in the Americas.
The price of silver coins is still relatively stable. This is mainly due to the purchase of grain and industrial products with silver coins, and there has not been much change.
But people's trust in silver has dropped sharply.
The most typical example is the Empire's Royal Bank, which no longer dares to use silver as a reserve to issue Empire banknotes.
Since the total output of gold does not change much, its value is relatively stable.
It has always been used by various countries as a reserve for issuing currency.
The major vassal states wanted to buy precious machinery and technology from the empire. They couldn't buy it with silver coins, but they could buy it with gold.
As a lowly eighth-grade military attache, Sun Songbai could see that silver coins would inevitably continue to depreciate.
Those extremely shrewd nobles and businessmen would definitely be able to see this kind of thing clearly.
The value of silver coins depreciated and the value of gold coins increased.
Sun Songbai saw the geologist's excited expression.
He immediately stepped forward and comforted him: "Fellow scholars, please don't get excited yet.
The exploration team must first set up camp.
It's getting dark, and everyone's safety must be prioritized.
Starting tomorrow, we are exploring the reserves of this gold mine."
The exploration team members are doing their own tasks, setting up camp, cooking food, and maintaining equipment.
Sun Songbai and a few others started distributing it to the port.
The meaning of the telegram was very concise, informing the port that the Jinhe gold mine indeed existed, and stating the gold reserves predicted by geological experts.
Sun Songbai opened his eyes excitedly. He had received a commendation from General Pang Pangshan.
The most important task now is to cooperate with geological experts to detect the reserves of gold mines.
After the exploration team had breakfast, they began to circle the outlet of the underground river, drill holes at the places marked by geological experts, and take out stratigraphic specimens.
Based on the drilling results, geologists judge the direction of the gold veins and the gold reserves.
…………………………
General Pang Pangshan was pacing with his hands behind his back. He had been waiting for information from the exploration team.
The exploration team previously sent news that the Jinhe gold mine does exist, with reserves of at least one hundred tons.
When General Pang Pangshan heard this data, he knew that this conflict was bound to break out.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He doesn’t know what other countries think, but Chu will never give up on this gold reserve.
General Pang Pangshan also knew that other countries would not give up this gold mine.
They lost a gold mine, not just the loss of the gold mine.
This shows that Rui and Yue have no chance to catch up with the development of Chu.
Countries have just established their own countries, so it is a good time to lay the foundation.
The foundation laid by Chu State is even richer, which will benefit future generations.
This is a matter of ebb and flow, and countries have enough reasons to compete for this gold mine.
For this reason alone, General Pang Pangshan believed that Chu State would not give up its gold mines, and neither would other countries.
Pang Pangshan saw the performance of the Swiss Army and the Vietnamese Army, and he also knew that these two countries would never give up.
But the specific reserves of gold mines will determine the severity of the conflict.
Geological experts made a mistake in their judgment, and the gold reserves were only a few dozen tons, or only a few tons.
Countries will not have much conflict over this reserve, and will even jointly develop this gold mine.
If the benefits are too small, then it is not worth it for all countries to upset the balance.
When Pang Pangshan heard the unique ticking sound of the telegraph machine, his expression immediately became nervous.
"General Pang, a telegram from the exploration team."
Pang Pangshan received the telegram. He ignored the other contents of the telegram and looked directly at the gold reserves that he was most concerned about.
The level of geological experts is still very high.
It has been confirmed through drilling that the reserves of Jinhe Gold Mine are about 150 tons.
General Pang Pangshan has confirmed that this conflict caused by the gold mine is inevitable.
He immediately issued an order: "Convey the general's order and immediately launch an attack on the Yue Army camp.
This news will be notified to Song State at the same time."
General Pang Pangshan gave the order, and the Chu Army immediately began to take action.
