    In addition, the Japanese people also knew very well how powerful the people behind the South African colony were, and they had a pivotal position and influence in the Ming Empire.

    If we can get help from the United Commercial Bank of South Africa, it will be easy to open up colonies in West Africa.

    If you want arms, weapons, warships, food, etc., you can easily get them.

    The geographical location of the South African colony is very critical. It is at the southernmost tip of Africa and is the only way to go to West Africa.

    The United Commercial Bank of South Africa has been operating here for a long time and is most familiar with this area. It also produces a large amount of grain. In any case, it is necessary to come and pay a visit to establish a good relationship.

    Du Mingen looked at the delivered box, smiled and said, "Mr. Dongfang is too polite. If you have any questions, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will try my best to help."

    He reached out to avoid hitting the smiling person. What¡¯s more, he really liked the gift the other party gave him. The price of jade and jade is also very high now. This imperial green jade ring is worth a lot of money.

    "Master Hou is so happy~"

    "I'll just say it bluntly."

    Dongfang Yue said with a smile: "This time I went to West Africa on the order of our Japanese king to seize Sao Tome Island in the West African Gulf (Gulf of Guinea) and open up some colonies on the West African continent."

    "The Marquis is a great navigator, and he also knows that this place is very far away from us in the east. Travel is inconvenient and the transportation of materials is very slow."

    ¡°So, I wonder if it¡¯s not convenient for Mr. Hou to sell us some arms, weapons, food, etc.?¡±

    "We are willing to pay double the market price!"

    "Arms and weapons, I can't make the final decision on this matter. As you know, although I am the Governor-General of South Africa, I am also responsible to the shareholders of the United South African Merchant Bank and subject to their supervision." Sijia.com Sibo

    ¡°The arms and weapons in the South African colonies are also purchased from Daming. We cannot produce these arms and weapons ourselves, and the arms and weapons in the hands of our South African colonial army must be used by ourselves.¡±

    "So in this regard, I am helpless."

    "As for food, we have a lot of surplus food here in South Africa, and we can sell some to you."

    Du Mingen thought for a while and replied.

    If you want the weapons in the hands of our South African colonies, you really know what you are getting.

    The weapons and equipment in the hands of the South African colonial army are all the most advanced weapons and equipment in the Ming Empire. Not to mention other things, the guns only use Hongzhi Type 21 muskets, which are the most advanced muskets at present. In terms of technology, they have been compared with  Later rifles were not much different.

    ??Fast rate of fire, long range, and high accuracy!

    The South African colony occupies a huge land, but it only relies on a colonial army of 15,000 people. It relies on having such advanced muskets to easily crush the local Kunlun slaves.

    The muskets that the Japanese can buy on the market are all smoothbore muskets that have been eliminated by the Ming Dynasty. They are still front-loaded muskets. The range is limited. The key is that the firing rate is slow and the accuracy is not high.

    ¡°That¡¯s such a shame~¡±

    "But being able to buy food is also a huge help to us. Thank you, Mr. Marquis!"

    When Dongfang Yue heard this, she also said with some regret.

    To his surprise, it is not easy to purchase the Ming Dynasty's most advanced muskets and artillery. They have activated all the energy they can, but there is no way to purchase them.

    The Ming Empire pays close attention to new muskets. Each new musket has a serial number and a strict management system. As for the manufacturing method of the new musket, it is strictly confidential.

    ?Things that even money can¡¯t buy.

    "Haha, you're welcome~"

    ¡°We don¡¯t have anything else here in the South African colony, but there is a lot of food. You can buy some food, which also helps us.¡±

    Du Mingen replied with a smile.

    Although the South African colony has a very small population and relies solely on immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, even if it attracts enough immigrants, the total population is still very small compared with other vassal states and colonies.

    However, the South African colonies focused on mechanized farming and used a large number of steam cultivators and harvesters. The farming efficiency was very high and the grain output was large. It not only met its own needs, but also could be exported to other colonies and vassal countries in large quantities.

    "Mr. Dongfang, how is the situation in West Africa now?"

    After talking about the business, Du Mingen also asked about some situations in West Africa.

    ? ?It is a colonial stronghold of Europeans, and most of the east and south are colonial strongholds of our Easterners.  "

    "We also have two strongholds in Sao Tome Island and Gabon. The most important Sao Tome Island is currently being robbed by the Portuguese. They say that Sao Tome Island was the first one they discovered and operated."

    "They are not convinced that they have already established colonial rule here when they opened up the Indian Ocean route, and now it is occupied by us. This time, I guess we will have to fight the barbarians in Europe."

    Dongfang Yue pointed to an island on the map and spoke.

    "Portugal?"

    ãá minus 7 5zw.c om ãá.  "Portugal's strength is very average. You should be able to defend it easily."

    After Du Mingen heard this, he thought about it and said.

    "Well, our Japanese country is much stronger than them, but after all, West Africa is closer to Europe. They have a natural advantage. It is not easy to win this battle."

    Mi He Mi.  "This is why I came to seek help from the Marquis. If the Marquis is willing to provide us with some arms and weapons, we will naturally be more confident."

    Dongfang Yue sighed helplessly.

    With the deepening of exchanges between the East and the West, Europeans have now clearly distinguished the Ming people and the Japanese people. The Japanese people are not as afraid of the Ming people as they are of the Japanese people. The two sides have done it several times because of colonial matters.  Yes, there is victory or defeat for each other
