"Does it look good?" Dayan Shanyin spoke first.

"Okay...okay you ghost!" Franz rolled his eyes inwardly.

"Huh?" Dayan Shanyin is very confident in her appearance, and it is precisely because of this that she has gained a lot of convenience since she was a child, and even thinks it is a gift from the gods, but Franz is not watching at this moment Mood.

"What, I think I'm out of my mind, ship doctor!" Franz had already determined in his heart that the other party was abnormal.

"Grand Duke Franz, what are your orders!" The ship's doctor Jack immediately responded, the most neglected person on his ship, because the natives did not believe in Western medicine, but it was the Chinese medicine skills shown by the accompanying priest that made them worship .

This made the ship doctor Jack very hurt, and he immediately cheered up when he heard Archduke Franz calling him.

"Miss Shanyin may be suffering from heat stroke, please help me." Franz shouted.

Realizing that someone was walking towards him, the shy Oisho Sugiyin immediately put on the white clothes that had just been taken off.

The ship doctor Jack examined her carefully for a long time, which made Franz feel a little weird, and then a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Finally, the ship doctor Jack let out a long sigh and walked out of the tent. Franz stepped forward and asked.

"Doctor, how are you?"

The ship doctor Jack shook his head and spread his hands helplessly.

Franz swallowed, thinking to himself, "Isn't it really a terminal illness?"

"how is she?"

"She's not sick." The ship's doctor Jack said helplessly. He originally wanted to show his skills, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance again.

Franz said "doctor walk slowly", thinking about greeting the other party's family, pretending to be deep, almost making himself think that Dayan Shanyin really had some serious illness.

After the ship doctor left, Franz lifted the curtain and said.

"Look carefully, study hard, and don't think about it."

Dayan Shanyin nodded blankly.

After a short rest, Franz continued his journey, this time his goal was the last stop in Congo.

The Congo is divided into two parts. One part is the Angolo Kingdom, which declined due to the ban on the slave trade. It later became a French colony. It has rich oil and gas reserves, potash mines, phosphate mines, and iron ore reserves. Aluminum, zinc, copper and other metal mines have great agricultural potential, but overall they can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

The other part is blocked by a large waterfall at this time, rich in natural resources, known as "the warehouse of raw materials in the world", "the jewel of Central Africa" ​​and "geological miracle".

The country has a variety of non-ferrous metals, rare metals and non-metallic ores, among which copper, cobalt, industrial diamonds, zinc, manganese, tin, tantalum, germanium, tungsten, cadmium, nickel and chromium reserves are quite considerable, iron, coal, gold, Silver and other reserves are also very rich, as well as platinum, lead, phosphate, silicate and so on.

At the same time, the land is fertile, the water resources are abundant, there are few geological disasters, and there are very tame indigenous people. It is really a paradise for colonists.

However, it is not easy to explore here. Countless expeditions have disappeared here, the most famous of which is the Tucker expedition in 1816.

After the Napoleonic Wars, a brave British naval captain decided to explore this unknown land for his country, and he found fifty-eight experienced explorers.

However, they never came back. It wasn't until several years later that another group of explorers found Colonel Tucker's expedition notes in an abandoned camp near Yelela Falls, and learned of this dusty secret. .

In the following decades, Europeans conducted countless expeditions to this land, and when the exploration was completed, it happened to catch up with the carve-up frenzy. The great powers refused to give in to each other, and finally let the Belgians pick the peaches.

The purpose of Franz's visit to Congo this time was not only to establish a trading site, but also to bring two experienced expedition teams. Their mission was not only to explore unknown areas and regions, but also to try to establish contact with the local indigenous people.

Franz's ultimate goal in exploring the land was to paint it yellow and black.

The natives by the sea are numb to the free trade agreement, and the protection agreement can only be abandoned under the strong opposition of the French, but at least a trading station has been established, but it is not clear whether there will be any benefits in the future.

For the upcoming expedition, Franz can only promise money and material benefits. He is not an expert in exploration, and the substantive help he can provide is limited. He can only write a report to them based on his own memory and future insights. Adventure Guide.

First, don't camp in swamps.

Secondly, mosquito nets and insect repellants are essential.

Third, don't take off your clothes, and keep your leggings fastened.

Fourth, when bitten by poisonous snakes and insects, stop the bleeding first, and then detoxify.

fifth,.....

These things that are common sense in the eyes of modern people are simply wise words in the eyes of people at that time, and the explorers thanked Franz for his teaching.

At the same time, they also got some gadgets specially made by Franz, such as Swiss army knife, multi-function compass, garlic capsules, a map in memory, lighter, kerosene...

As experienced explorers, they understood the indispensability of these objects. After they sighed, they thanked Grand Duke Franz for his thoughtfulness, and soon embarked on the road of exploration.

"You said there is a country with a territory larger than four Frances?" Friedrich asked in disbelief.

"Yes, and the products are extremely rich. Its potential is even comparable to that of the former Holy Roman Empire." It is no wonder that Franz gave such a high evaluation. The richness of the products in the Congo is simply fed by God.

"Then let's just build a nation here. I can wipe out all the trading posts in one day." Friedrich said boldly.

"This land is not suitable for us to survive for the time being. It needs the development of the colonists. If our team enters this area now~lightnovelpub.net~ within three months, half of the people will die, and the remaining half will die. They will also be infected with various unknown diseases, and there is a high probability of being directly bitten to death by mosquitoes."

Franz's remarks are not alarmist. The primitive jungles of the African continent are not fun places. You must know that later generations here are gathering places for various super viruses, such as Marburg, Ebola, super malaria, monkeypox...

Either one is a terrible existence that causes headaches for modern medicine, and it is difficult to investigate whether those viruses existed in the first place or mutated later. Let the experts think about this kind of extremely brain-intensive problem.

"Then let's go back and see if those Togolese natives are ready to sign with us." The "Jianguo" that popped out of Friedrich's mouth was just verbal talk, after all, his ambition is to do A great general rather than a great landowner.

For the third son of Grand Duke Karl who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, money, land, and status are innate and not something worth cherishing. For him, there is only one thing that is most important, that It is to surpass one's great father and let history and the country remember one's name.

The long-distance fleet once again came to Togo mightily. At this time, the temporary trading post has become a decent port fortress. The soldiers left behind are all in high spirits. Had a good time.

It's just that after Franz entered the fortress, he discovered that there was a circle of densely packed crosses around the port, which made one's scalp tingle, and it was nailed full of all kinds of tragic deaths of natives.

This made Franz feel very bad, and he did not like to use this kind of terror to rule.
