Expedition to Europe

Girardine flew from Canberra to Pas, then transferred to a transport boat from Pas and then headed to Lone Bamboo. When he was transferring to a transport boat at the port of Pas, a cruise ship was slowly leaving the port.

Under normal circumstances, when a cruise ship leaves the port, there are always people on the shore to see them off. People on the cruise ship will also wave goodbye to the people on the shore to see them off, and the atmosphere is peaceful and peaceful.

This cruise ship was unusual when it left. There were no farewell crowds on the shore. There were only military and police officers standing ready, all armed with live ammunition. Even though the distance was a bit far away, Girardine could vaguely hear the sound coming from the cruise ship. Cries and curses.

The environment at the dock is relatively complex, and the noise is still a bit loud. You can hear crying in such a noisy environment. It can be seen that the sound is not quiet, and there are quite a lot of people crying.

The military policemen on the shore were also yelling and cursing. This kind of situation is not common. The military policemen are usually quite serious when performing their tasks. They can make them all curse, which shows that the grudges are deep.

Just as the cruise ship was about to leave the port, someone suddenly jumped off the cruise ship.

A patrol boat driven by the Paz military police quickly drove over, apparently preparing for rescue.

There was no need to save him. The patrol boat turned around quickly not long after it sailed out. There were several guards on the cruise ship who were shooting at the place where they fell into the water. Even if the patrol boat rushed over, it would probably only be able to collect the bodies.

Watching the cruise ship go away, Girardine asked Timothy who came to see her off: "What's going on?"

Although Western Australia is still part of the Australian territory, in Girardine's heart, Western Australia has long been Lanfang's land, so Girardine must pay attention to what happens in Western Australia.

"These are new immigrants in the past two years. They cannot adapt to life in Pas City, so they will be sent to Madagascar. Maybe they can live happily there." Timothy also stared and told lies.

The French are Frenchizing Madagascar. Although the Lanfang Foreign Legion has withdrawn from Madagascar, France has sent the French Foreign Legion to Madagascar from its homeland to continue similar tasks to the Lanfang Foreign Legion.

The French Foreign Legion is basically composed of Persians from the three North African countries. Although they are all Africans, their races and beliefs are not the same. Therefore, the French Foreign Legion has no psychological pressure on the indigenous people of Madagascar, even better than the Lanfang Foreign Legion. They must also be brutal, and it is appropriate for the Persians to deal with the Madagascars. This is one of the few experiences France has learned from Lanfang.

The current number of Malagasy people has dropped sharply to less than one million. Even if there are less than one million people, most of them live in areas beyond the control of the French in the central mountainous area. The Malagasy people living in the French-controlled areas are extremely miserable. They want to live in France. They performed heavy manual labor in human-run mines and plantations in exchange for meager food.

The situation of the Malagasy people living in the mountainous areas was even more dangerous. Pierre's successor was determined to completely turn Madagascar into French territory. He imposed a blockade on the central mountainous areas of Madagascar and prohibited the transportation of any materials to the central mountainous areas. At the same time, he sent the French Foreign Legion into the mountainous areas every now and then. Suppression, the method of suppression is similar to that of Japanese invaders entering a village, killing them all, burning them all, and robbing them all——

By sending these new immigrants to Madagascar now, Timothy is sending these new immigrants into a pit of fire.

Speaking of which, Timothy and Jack were shameless. When they needed to use Africans and Indians, they traveled thousands of miles to get people from Africa and South Asia to Pas. Then when they didn't need these Africans and Indians, These people are thrown away like garbage.

This is the fate of not having a strong motherland. If they are Chinese, even if they want to be expelled, they must be sent out of the country with respect and courtesy. How dare they send them away ship by ship like this? This scene seems to be back to the "slave trade" a hundred years ago. "The prevailing times are chilling.

Girardine didn't care about the fate of these people. After getting on the traffic boat, Girardine did not rush to Lone Bamboo. Instead, he let the traffic boat circle around the Swan River to see how the Pas military police were doing. to deal with these new immigrants.

Timothy did not dare to neglect Girardine's request. In order to protect Girardine's safety, Timothy also mobilized two patrol boats and asked them to escort Girardine's traffic boat to the Swan River. .

The beautiful Swan River is no longer what it used to be. Before sailing to the black swan habitat, Girardine saw the black clouds shrouding the south bank of the Swan River.

This is not a description, but a real scene. Almost the entire south bank of the Swan River was shrouded in thick black smoke. People outside could not see clearly what was happening inside. The blazing flames and thick smoke covered up all the sins. .

Although you can't see it, you can hear it. A hundred meters away from the fire, you can clearly hear the "beep, beep, beep" sound of the flames burning, as well as the screams and shouts mixed in the strong wind.

From this distance, he could clearly feel the temperature of the flames. Girardine felt that the tips of his hair were a little burnt. He looked around but didn't see the black swan he wanted to see, so Girardine could only Yang left.

Perhaps even the black swans cannot bear to see the tragedy happening here.

It wasn't until she arrived at Lone Bamboo Island that Geraldine calmed down.

Although Lone Bamboo Island is not large in area, it also has a large port. When Geraldine disembarked, a cargo ship belonging to the Umbrella Company was unloading.

"Umbrella" has developed from a security company to a comprehensive multinational group. It still retains security business and operates shipping, trade, ore mining and other businesses. The status of "Umbrella" in Lan Fang is similar to those military contractors in the United States in the 21st century. All matters that are inconvenient for the Lan Fang army to intervene are handled by Umbrella. In Australia and America, "Umbrella" is very powerful. The Rockefeller family and Federal Oil's oil fields in South America are protected by "Umbrella".

The logo of "Umbrella" is a round dragon pattern with fangs and claws, which clearly shows the oriental nature of "Umbrella". There is a round dragon pattern on the cargo ship being unloaded, so Girardin can recognize it at a glance.

The three or four square kilometers of area near the port are all port areas. There are large warehouses for storing goods, coal yards and oil depots, which can provide supplies for ships coming and going.

Girardin's residence is not in the port area, but on a peninsula far from Perth on Guzhu Island. This peninsula is about two square kilometers and is connected to Guzhu Island by a road. The road is guarded by security personnel from the "Umbrella" company. The entire peninsula is a private area and no one is allowed to enter without permission. This is equivalent to the enclave of Lan Fang.

Taking an electric commuter car along the road to the peninsula, it is a different scene.

There are lush trees and green lawns on both sides of the road. There is a small road extending out every few steps. At the end of the small road is a villa of a senior executive of the "Umbrella" company or a senior executive of a shipping company. Girardin's residence is at the end of the road, where there is a castle-like building exactly like the Black Swan Castle in Paris. This is the "palace" prepared for Qin Zhiyuan by Qin Zhiyuan's personal butler O. Henry.

Girardin had a close relationship with the Lanfang royal family, so everyone thought it was natural for Girardin to live in Qin Zhiyuan's palace. Even before Girardin arrived at Guzhu Island, Misha personally sent a telegram to Guzhu Island to ask them to make preparations so that Girardin could move in smoothly.

Girardin didn't feel awkward at all, and just moved into Qin Zhiyuan's palace in a dignified manner, just like returning to his own home.

It was indeed his own home. Although Girardin had already started working, there was still a room for Girardin in the Lanfang Palace, and Girardin lived in the palace when he returned to Penglai Island.

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

Monica Babbitt, the private housekeeper in charge of maintaining the Guzhu Island Palace, led the gardener, maid, cook, and security captain to greet Girardin at the gate of the castle, with the same specifications as Qin Zhiyuan's personal visit.

Girardin did not feel uncomfortable at all. He went up to the second floor and came directly to Qin Zhiyuan's office.

Although this was Girardin's first time to Guzhu Island, because the layout of this castle was the same as that of the Black Swan Castle in Paris, Girardin was extremely familiar with everything here, even the world map behind the desk was exactly the same as that of the Black Swan Castle in Paris.

Still different, compared with the map in the Black Swan Castle, this map has a vast country marked with red paint.

Girardin was still a little proud of himself when looking at this map. After all, it was Girardin's credit that this country had grown from nothing to such a huge country.

"One day, this map will be filled with red, Lan Fang's flag will be planted in every corner of the earth, and Lan Fang will become the master of this huge planet." Girardin was full of ambition.

This ideal was a bit too much, even Qin Zhiyuan did not dare to say so.

Although he was speaking arrogantly, no one refuted Girardin. The only person present was Lan Ziying, but Lan Ziying looked at the map with an even more fanatical look than Girardin.

Almost as soon as Girardin finished speaking, Monica Babbitt pushed the door open and personally brought Girardin hand-ground coffee.

Girardin was still friendly when facing his own people. After thanking him, Girardin began to find out: "Are there any blacks and Indians employed on Guzhu Island?"

Lanfang is now short of manpower, and hiring foreign manpower has become the main way to solve the labor shortage. There is widespread employment in the Western Province and the Northern Xinjiang Region. The difference is that the Western Province employs Persians, while the Northern Xinjiang Region employs Japanese and Russians.

"No, there are only Lanfang people and Annan people on Guzhu Island, and most of the Lanfang people are engaged in management work." Monica Babbitt was very tight and had no handle for Girardin.

"Well, you must pay attention and don't let the tragedy of Swan River repeat itself on Guzhu Island." Girardin emphasized.

"Don't worry--" Monica Babbitt said as if it was a matter of course.

Well, birds of a feather flock together, and Monica Babbitt is also a staunch "Lanfangist".
