Chapter 276 Heading to Australia

After Ning Quan left, Zhuge Liang and others began to explain the situation to Liu Rengui so that he could understand the current situation as soon as possible.

Ning Quan returned to the backyard, prepared to pack up and head to Tamsui.

The appearance of Liu Rengui made it possible to implement a plan that Ning Quan had been considering for a long time.

The plan was to occupy the island of Australia.

Australia is rich in resources. If we can bring Australia under our control, it will be of great benefit to future development.

Even if he doesn't need it in the short term, Ning Quan must occupy it first.

Once Australia is occupied, Ning Quan can use it as a springboard to further conquer America in the future.

Ning Quan is very ambitious and he wants to conquer the world.

Of course, conquering Australia requires a naval commander, and a capable naval commander at that.

Ning Quan now has only one general under his command, Zhou Yu, who is proficient in water warfare, but Zhou Yu has to be stationed in Tamsui, and Ning Quan is also preparing to assign him a new task, so Liu Rengui is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Husband, you're going to Tamsui? And to Japan?"

Hearing that Ning Quan was about to leave, Li Wanyue hurriedly asked.

"Yes, I am planning to go to Japan."

Ning Quan smiled and nodded.

"But isn't General Qi already in Japan, and Military Advisor Jia is also here?"

Li Wanyue said with a frown.

"I need to speed up and try to capture Japan as soon as possible."

"Oh, I understand, but how long will you be gone?"

Li Wanyue asked again.

"Don't worry, it won't take long, a few months at most, and I'll come back when I'm free. It's convenient now anyway."

"Oh, I understand."

"Then one of us will go with you and take care of you!"

Li Wanyue nodded and then said.

"Yeah, that's okay."

After thinking about it, Ning Quan agreed.

"Then let Sister Sikong go with you!"

"I'm at home taking care of Ping An, and Jin Meimei is pregnant and it's not convenient for her."

Li Wanyue said.

"Okay, then let Ruo'er accompany me, but you have to take care of yourselves after I leave."

"Okay, I understand."

......

Two days later, Ning Quan set off for Tamsui with Sikong Ruo, two maids and Liu Rengui.

This time, Ning Quan’s goal is to occupy the entire territory of Japan and completely wipe out Japan.

The execution of this plan would certainly be quite bloody, but Ning Quan had no regrets.

After all, there is a blood feud, even if this is another world.

The flying car was very fast, and Ning Quan arrived in Tamsui in the evening of the next day.

When Zhou Yu saw Ning Quan coming, he hurried to greet him in person.

"General Zhou, this is General Liu Rengui, my newly recruited naval commander."

Ning Quan introduced Liu Rengui to Zhou Yu.

“Meet General Liu!”

Zhou Yu bowed to Liu Rengui.

"You are too polite, General. I am Liu Rengui. I hope you will take care of me in the future."

Liu Rengui also bowed in greeting.

"General Liu is so polite. We are all brothers from now on."

Zhou Yu said with a smile.

After the introduction, Ning Quan and the other two came to the front hall.

Afterwards, Ning Quan told the two of them his plan.

"Your Highness, where is Australia?"

After hearing Ning Quan's plan, Liu Rengui couldn't help but ask.

"Australia is an island southeast of Java. It's huge, not even smaller than Daqian."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

“Ah… so big!”

When Liu Rengui heard this, he was immediately surprised.

"Your Highness, can we capture such a large island? How many troops will it take?"

Zhou Yu asked with a frown.

"Haha, this is not a problem. We don't need many troops at all, because there are not many people on this island, just some natives!"

"What General Liu needs to do is to establish a base on the island and then slowly assimilate the natives on the island!"

Ning Quan said with a smile.

“Assimilate the local indigenous people?”

Liu Rengui was stunned when he heard this.

“Yes, assimilation.”

"There aren't many indigenous people on the island, so a few hundred thousand is not a big deal. Assimilating them isn't very difficult because we can continue to immigrate to the island to increase our population."

"Of course, this process will be slow. If General Liu wants it to be faster, then we can cleanse the local indigenous people. It's up to you, General Liu, to decide on this."

"In short, we want to make the entire Australian island our territory!"

Ning Quan ordered coldly.

"Yes, I understand."

After listening to this, Liu Rengui bowed and said.

"In that case, it's settled."

"General Zhou, you must immediately organize and arrange for General Liu to have two thousand soldiers assigned to him and to recruit five hundred households of civilians to accompany him. Once everything is ready, General Liu will depart immediately."

"Yes, I obey!"

Zhou Yu bowed and accepted the order.

"That was General Liu's mission just now. General Zhou, you also have a mission."

Ning Quan glanced at Zhou Yu and continued.

"Your Highness, please give your orders!"

"I intend to establish at least two strongholds in Southeast Asia. These two strongholds must be strategically located and able to control maritime traffic when necessary, just like Malacca."

“A transportation hub like Malacca?”

"Your Highness, important places like these are all owned by someone, such as Jakarta, Brunei, Luzon, etc."

"If we want to seize it, we must go to war!"

Zhou Yu said quickly.

"General Zhou, I know these strategic locations are owned by someone, so I need you to find a solution, including the location."

"As for going to war, given our strength, what would happen if we did?"

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Yes, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately said respectfully.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

"In addition, I will give orders to General Bai Qi and General Huo to send another 30,000 elite troops to Tamsui and put them under your command!" Ning Quan continued.

Tamsui currently has only 20,000 troops, which is definitely not enough if we want to go to war.

"Yes, I understand."

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Zhou Yu bowed in response.

......

Three days later, Liu Rengui led the fleet to Australia.

This time when traveling to Australia, Ning Quan did not use large ships, but instead used dozens of cargo ships and warships, because the large ships had to stay behind to take on the task of transporting soldiers.

But this is enough. Dozens of ships are enough to carry two thousand soldiers and two thousand civilians, plus various supplies.

"Once you arrive in Australia and have chosen your base, you will send someone to report back immediately."

"If you have any special circumstances or needs, please let me know clearly. I will arrange everything for you."

Before leaving, Ning Quan gave instructions.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Liu Rengui bowed in response and then boarded the ship and set off.

"There's no rush to establish a foothold in Southeast Asia. You can prepare carefully and choose your targets."

"But it can't be too late. We must master one within a year!"

After Liu Rengui led the fleet away, Ning Quan looked at Zhou Yu and said.

"Yes, I know what to do."

Zhou Yu nodded quickly.
