"General! Fenghan has been basically under control, but there is bad news."

Lord Roberts covered his face: "Is there any worse news?"

In mid-to-late March, a large-scale typhoid fever broke out in the British army, and the front line was stuck in Bloemfontein. As of mid-April, thousands of people died because they did not get enough medicines and nutrition.

"Hannover was attacked by Franco, we lost a team of mules and horses, the road was destroyed, and our supplies were only based on the line from Durban to Bloemfontein." The chief of staff looked solemn. If the supplies were lost, this army of tens of thousands of people would be lost.

"The cavalry division has basically been cured, and sent out to guard the supply line, the entire army, replenish food and all supplies on the spot, and attack Transvaal." Roberts ordered with a cold face.

On-site supplements, where to supplement? Bloemfontein is a big city...

...

Wang Tinghan, under the name of Franco, captured the empty Douglas and seized five cannons, a thousand rifles, a large amount of ammunition, and gold.

Afterwards, he attacked from multiple lines and focused on the small British transport team. Two hundred dragon cavalrymen easily killed and took away those who could be taken away after the battle, and burned them away if they could not be taken away.

Until the British army chose to accompany the army, Wang Tinghan adopted the routine of selling land mines and exploding mountains and bridges, so that the British army did not even have enough medicines to treat typhoid fever.

"Great! Hans! Where is the next target?" Franco returned to the command room from the cheers of the crowd, and Wang Tinghan was bored.

"Turn the horse's head and attack the Cape, or Port Elizabeth." Wang Tinghan licked his lips.

"Why not Durban?" Franco asked.

"They only have Durban's supply line. The British army has a cavalry division and a cavalry brigade. When they meet them, none of us will survive." Wang Tinghan shook his head, the son was unspeakable.

"Attacking the Cape direction can also bring them a little panic. If you involve the enemy's troops, any other choice is to seek death. Don't try to fight decisively. The gap between the enemy and us is too big."

"Okay! Listen to you." Franco knew how much he was, so he went out to arrange public opinion immediately, which was also the reason why Wang Tinghan shook his head.

They are more like a loose alliance, with Franco being the leader and under him one by one. How could it be possible for the British army to succeed in facing the overall one?

"Ri'an, sir." Liu Yiming politely said hello to Cyril.

"Day, your Majesty." Cyril bowed slightly.

"I am frank, I don't know why you are looking for me?" Cyril sat opposite Liu Yiming under the guidance of the waiter.

"Look at this." Liu Yiming signaled Cyril to look at the documents on the table.

"This is actually an interesting question, you know, the British Empire is considering agreeing to Australia as the British Dominion, and they are very sensitive during this time." Cyril smiled and put down the document.

"But this is just a normal business behavior, and Australians do not maintain the due respect for a monarch." Liu Yiming couldn't deny it.

Tower Reading - Xiaodu!

"Your Majesty, you know, no country would agree to other countries in their own territory to mine gold mines." Cyril said frankly.

"But my businessman has already obtained the mining rights in this area according to the normal process. This is just a small gold mine. And I will hire locals as the main employees to pay taxes reasonably and export according to regulations. Even so, it won't work." Liu Yiming looked angry.

"I'm sorry, the gold mines on the British Empire should be mined by the British Empire." Cyril said, "It's really a pity."

"As far as I know, the United States, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and other countries have gold mines on the territory of the British Empire." Liu Yiming stared at Cyril.

It would be fine if it was an ordinary mineral. The Ranjie deposit is one of the few metal uranium deposits that Liu Yiming knew, and the other one was in Nigeria.

Investing in Australia is investment, and at most negotiations are negotiable.

If you interfere in Africa again... South China is already a country in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and the Atlantic Ocean will be disintegrated without anyone touching it.

"Well, that's a special situation." Cyril shrugged, indicating that he could do nothing.

"Okay! I think there must be a solution." Liu Yiming pointed out at the right time.

After all, according to the process, the Nanhua Royal Mineral Company under Liu Yiming has purchased the prospecting rights of dozens of kilometers in a radius of 224 kilometers east of Darwin.

After successfully finding out the location of the Ranger deposit, the Royal Mineral Company notified the Darwin colonial authorities in the name of gold mine development, and was then stuck.

"The mineral expectations have come out, and the expected reserves are only worth more than 100,000 pounds, just to make a profit." Liu Yiming played with the pen in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the expected reserves are not accurate," Cyril argued.

"I can accept cooperation and establish a United Gold Mining Company to develop gold mines and mine all gold and silver mines in the mining area, but it cannot hinder us from mining other minerals." Liu Yiming said.

"What about the proportion? If there is no suitable proportion, it will be difficult for me to understand the parliament. Moreover, the Dominion Ordinance is about to be passed, which will be even more troublesome at that time." Cyril said relaxedly.

This is his purpose. Australia has always been rich in gold. It is not enough for gold miners to be able to harvest it. Even the British Empire cannot eat much benefits. How can that be done?

"Divid it into three or seven." Liu Yiming looked like he gritted his teeth.

"no! No, no, it's wrong for you to think like this..." Cyril skillfully bargained.

In the end, the two sides reached a 35 to 65. Mineral mining must mainly employ locals. Unless their prices are too outrageous, they must pay taxes according to the regulations, and gold exports have to pay a large export tax.

Cyril was very satisfied. In this way, the big head of gold was in the UK. The gold that could be brought out was less than 20 yuan, unless you choose to take away the pound and then exchange it - this is what the UK wants.

This incident actually made the British very embarrassed. Britain is fighting for gold mines (that gold mine exports hundreds of millions of pounds of gold every year). It is unreasonable to sell the gold mine here.

Nanhua obtained gold mines through normal processes. If anyone else was there, the worst case would be that a mine would be sealed, regardless of him.

But Nanhua is right next to Australia, and can cut off Australian foreign exchanges at any time. There is also a greedy South Chinese. Now most of the British energy is in southern Africa. Once the war begins, many countries may start war against Britain and seize colonies.

Now, as long as there is a reasonable allocation and a precedent, you can do things according to the rules in the future.

As for other minerals, conventional metals such as copper and iron, and non-ferrous metals such as nickel-chromium-uranium uranium are not of much value. In particular, metal uranium can only be used as the glaze surface of porcelain.

As long as gold is controlled in your hands, the pound will be the most powerful weapon of the British Empire.

As for Liu Yiming, Liu Yiming was even happier. After the negotiations were over, Liu Yiming called Tian Rui.

"The mining of Lanjie mining area is immediately put on the agenda. The cost is not important, and the focus is on metal uranium mining." Liu Yiming was a little excited.

"Everything is ready, I'll do it now." Tian Rui nodded and turned around.

"Don't panic, metal uranium mining, don't let our people lean against each other. You must wear special protective clothing when entering and leaving the mining area, and make the protective clothing look like a uniform.

Discussion Group 563743675

According to the agreement, Australians are allowed to do ore mining, and any behavior close to mining areas and ores must wear special protective clothing." Liu Yiming said one by one.

He couldn't explain the damage of radiation to Tian Rui. In two years, radium would be used as medicines, beverage additives, and food additives, and became popular throughout Europe.

"I've recorded it. Where can I get the special protective clothing? Is it a toxic gas?" Tian Rui thought for a while.

"It's radiation. If you want to know, you can go to Nanhua University to attend a lecture. There are several new scholars who are experts in this field.

As for clothes, they have not been developed yet, ore storage and transportation must be sealed and stored in lead boxes, and must be stored in a specially made place after returning to China." Liu Yiming waved his hand and signaled that Tian Rui could leave.

Radiation has been discovered, but people don’t know it yet. Just like the discoverer of radiation, Anthony Henry Baker, who was directly using uranium salt at that time.

Although the content of uranium 235 is not large and the radiation is not large, long-term exposure is still not good.

"Lin Hai, what else is on my schedule this week?" Liu Yiming asked after Tian Rui left.

"Your Majesty, the Flying Operation Laboratory invites you to visit the acquired flight performance; after that, you will attend the ribbon cutting ceremony of Volkswagen 1 Automobile Factory, and then it will be gone." Secretary Wang opened his small notebook and confirmed.

Liu Yiming was about to leave when the phone rang, and Secretary Wang answered the phone.

"Your Majesty, the call from the Ministry of Health has been successful in separation and mass production of penicillin, and the first three drugs have been produced." Secretary Wang said.

"That's great! Contact our allies and put them on the market. After the side effects of the drug were determined in Europe, it will be promoted on a large scale." Liu Yiming slapped the table.

The production of penicillin is not troublesome. The difficulty is to separate various active ingredients and mass production. The yield of the original bacterial species is very low, and there are many toxic ingredients, so it is troublesome to separate.

"French or Sir Charles?" Secretary Wang was stunned.

"We all contact us. The British and American and their colonial markets are left to Charles, Europe is left to the French, and we have exclusive markets in Asia and South America." Liu Yiming also wanted to enjoy it alone, but he didn't have the ability.

Sulfonamide drugs are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. Thanks to the interest alliance, most of the sulfonamide drugs have been registered by Nanhua. Europe is also promoting the harm of fake drugs, and generic drugs have little impact.

But if Liu Yiming enjoys it alone, then the medicine in his hand is the fake medicine.

At the same time, it can also allow Europeans to test the medicine, and no one knows the side effects and stability of the medicine.

"By the way, you remind me, let the parliament discuss the bill for inventors to obtain honorary titles, such as penicillin, for ten years, and cannot hurt people's hearts." Liu Yiming wanted to avoid the abnormal scientific research model.

Because in traditional values, scholars who are honest and upright are worthy of respect, and people generally put this concept into scientists.
