Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 536 Pirates of the Indian Ocean
The theory of relativity, in fact, has already been initially proposed by the scientific community of Daming, and Bai Mingxiu took the lead, and also asked people to carry out pre-research in this area, but with such a world status as Daming, there is no need to use the God of Peace Bullet Locally, even if nuclear energy is used, Bai Mingxiu hopes to develop slowly until it reaches a certain level before launching.

Because the current conditions of the Ming Dynasty are so good, with a huge territory, more than half of which is undeveloped.The population of the main ethnic group is 2.2 million, and the population of other ethnic groups is about 6000 to [-] million.The Ming Dynasty has extremely rich resources, and it is not easy to feed such a large population.Energy issues and resource issues are not problems.

Bai Mingxiu casually asked Miss Lion again: "How is the adjustment of the navy's Indian Ocean Fleet?"

Sister Shi sat next to him, and the two of them got very close, and Bai Mingxiu didn't move away, so he was relatively calm.

"Sure enough, does Your Majesty still care about the Indian Ocean? The Persian Gulf now provides nearly [-]% of the oil for my Ming Dynasty. Since our power began to control the entire Tianfang in the seventh year of the Liberation, the Navy has worked hard to manage our influence and influence here. Control. Now the Dubai Naval Base, Karachi Naval Base, and Socotra Naval Base are important anchorages for us to defend our oil sources. Our Indian Ocean Theater has also established a normal naval patrol to protect our oil, but we have evidence that , some blind guys are promoting piracy in the Indian Ocean, and we've had problems with tankers in the Indian Ocean."

A lot of things have happened in the past 20 years, and one of the things that had the greatest impact on the world was the demise of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.Although the party directly responsible for this incident is not Daming, but Xiqing.Since 1688, Xiqing has gradually used troops against Ottoman Turkey.Xiqing united with Austria, completely defeated the Ottoman Empire with five battles in the next eight years, occupied Istanbul, and renamed it Yijing as an important city in the south.

In the process, the Ottoman Empire's control over its provinces was minimized.Daming also took the opportunity to send only a small number of troops, successively captured Tianfang (Arabian Peninsula) and Asia Minor, and marched into Egypt and North Africa.This also caused the original battle to be fought by Xiqing, but Daming occupied more land than Xiqing.

Through this battle, the Western Qing Dynasty acquired Romania, Bulgaria, and parts of the Balkans including Ijing. The Ming Dynasty and European countries took this opportunity to encourage Greek independence. This emerging Greece included another aspect of North Macedonia, Albania, etc. land.Austria took full control of Hungary and acquired Serbia and other Balkan regions.Italy, which helped Austria send troops, received exchanges and newly occupied Slovenia and Croatia, and expanded part of its territory to the Balkan Peninsula.

Italy also officially completed its unification in 1675. During the whole process, Bai Mingxiu did nothing but provide military guidance and weapons. Italy was also successfully promoted to one of the European powers in this year.

Ming is the most thieves, did not do any big things, but occupied the entire Asia Minor region, the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa, that is to say, the territory of Asia and Africa of the Ottoman Empire, all were taken over by Ming, and it was the party that carve up the most profit in the Ottoman Empire .

After getting Egypt, Ming immediately began to build the Suez Canal to shorten the shipping distance between Europe and Asia.

Also thanks to this series of actions, Daming successfully acquired the area with the richest oil resources on the earth and turned it into his own oil well.The Ming Dynasty quickly sent a large number of immigrants and engineers to this area, and began to migrate the Arab nomads in the Persian Gulf to Asia Minor, or they were simply transported to Bangladesh.As a result, about 80 Han Chinese now live along the coast of the Persian Gulf, led by Iraq, maintaining the important oil extraction of Daming.

With the conscious or unconscious technology outflow of Ming Dynasty, oil has gradually become an important industrial blood and has been adopted by various countries, so the export of Persian Gulf oil has become very valuable.

It is also because of this that the current pirates are no longer satisfied with robbing cargo ships, but form teams to board oil tankers, hijack the crew, and extort ransom.After completing a vote of work, they went to Africa or India to hide, and re-emerged after reorganization.

As a result, a group of pirates gathered in India and East Africa. They usually disguised themselves as merchant ships and attacked whenever they had the opportunity.When he couldn't extort money, he killed people and stole money, which brought some trouble to Daming.

These pirates are not just Indians and Africans. In fact, they come from different countries. Many of them are Europeans, and there are even Russians and Turks from the Western Qing Dynasty. There are also a few scum Ming people and Japanese people mixed in. , these desperadoes formed a criminal organization and committed evil crimes.

Bai Mingxiu asked Sister Lion: "What countermeasures do you have?"

"Now it's time to strengthen patrols in areas with a high incidence of cases. Our navy will then cooperate with several maritime police departments of the Department of Propaganda and Consolation. Every merchant ship, even if it is flying the flag of Ming Dynasty, must be inspected. As long as it is a pirate ship, it will definitely be exposed. On the other hand, shipping companies still need to strengthen the security work on their ships, and now everyone is starting to use larger-tonnage ships, but it’s better to have a few artillery pieces for self-defense than in the sailing era.”

"Uh, after all, do we also want to control weapons? Well, there was indeed a proposal from the Council of Governors, which is to form a state-owned security company, send ex-military personnel to the ship for protection, and even deploy some heavy weapons. For these pirates, it should be possible to form the necessary deterrence."

After listening to Bai Mingxiu's words, Sister Lion pinched his cheek suddenly and said, "I won't disturb you to enjoy it alone."

Get up after speaking.

Bai Mingxiu pulled her and said, "Why don't you rest in Xiangshan for a few days?"

Sister Lion showed an incomparably bright smile, and said in a little girl's tone: "Not at all."

Bai Mingxiu smiled and shook his head, watching her beautiful figure leave, he lay there on his back again, looking at the falling red leaves, feeling relaxed and happy.

"How long can this peaceful life last? Even if I want to be quiet, other people and other countries are constantly trying to make trouble." He sighed, seeing nothing sad Meaning, just sigh.

"I hope some people can understand the situation clearly, and don't provoke those who cannot be provoked, such as me and Daming."
