Chapter 1163: The Restoration Army

The midday sun was slightly west of center as the steam locomotive returned to Yancheng amidst the roar of its whistle.

Everyone exited the station, and Zhao Xu instructed Chang Wei, "This time, the equipment replacement will prioritize the armies with overseas operational needs. Our overseas deployment is complete; now it is time to take concrete action to realize our overseas strategic goals."

"This subordinate will remember," Chang Wei nodded.

The overseas strategic goals in the mouth of Emperor Zhao Xu were naturally the Indian Restoration Movement on the eastern front and the reconstruction of the order in Zhongtu on the western front.

For this goal, they had to deal with the Sam Country on one side and the Tusman Empire on the other.

The Sam Country, including the British Quebec Colonial Territory in the north of the Sam Country, were all territories seized by the Anglo-Saxon people.

The former Australia and many current islands were the same.

To allow the Anglo-Saxon people to multiply and thrive on these lands—would that not be equivalent to watching them occupy the most land and resources in the world?

This was equivalent to nursing a tiger to cause trouble later.

It was necessary for them to eliminate this hidden danger in advance; this was the true purpose of the Indian Restoration Movement.

They would rather Da Song not have it, and let the original owners of the Indian land regain power, than give the Saxons space to survive there.

As for the Tusman Empire, its west bordered Greece in Europe, its southwest faced Egypt across the sea, and it was itself a Zhongtu nation.

It was equivalent to controlling the traffic arteries of three regions.

This hegemon of Zhongtu was currently extremely hostile toward Da Song.

Even if only to open up the canal from Egypt to the Mediterranean, they had to continue to deal with the Tusman Empire.

Just like with the Indian Restoration Movement, at a critical moment, they might even have to take the field themselves, acting as reinforcements for the Indians and the Zhongtu nations.

According to their Emperor Zhao Xu, the reason the Sam Country could currently be independent from Britain was because France had personally dispatched troops to support them.

They were also applying what they had learned, using the other's own way to treat the other.

Next, the two discussed the matter of troop reduction, then departed separately.

Hawaii.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei were finalizing the two major matters of troop reduction and equipment replacement.

Here, Qin Shan's military training was also in full swing.

On a drill ground by the sea, a commander of the Azure Dragon Army was issuing orders, and about eight thousand young and strong Indians were continuously practicing their bayonet technique according to the commands.

The weather in Hawaii was extremely hot, and the young Indians were all drenched in sweat, yet their gazes remained firm, not slacking in the slightest.

To the east of the drill ground was a crescent-shaped harbor.

This had once been a harbor for the Sam Country's navy.

After Zhou Yi's navy and marines captured it, they repaired it slightly and continued to put it into use.

At this moment, six ironclad warships, twenty-four sailing warships, and twenty-four steamships lay quietly on the sea, emitting a faint golden light under the shining sun.

"The hatred these Indians have for the people of the Sam Country is truly higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Once the training is finished and these tiger cubs are sent back to the Sam Country, they will surely stir up a storm of blood. Whatever the Sam Country people did to them, they will surely return in kind."

To the west of the drill ground was a lush, low mountain, with a white manor hidden among the dense tropical trees.

This had been built here by the Sam Country people.

After occupying Hawaii, the Sam Country people had transported thousands of Indian slave laborers to transform this island.

After they occupied this place, they not only took over the harbor but also this manor on the mountain, as well as the Indian slaves living here.

At this time, Zhou Yi and Qin Shan were in the garden of the manor, holding telescopes, observing the training on the drill ground from a high vantage point.

"That is their just deserts," Qin Shan pried open a coconut and handed it to Zhou Yi.

"Who can say otherwise? The Indians have truly been too miserable these years; the Sam Country slaughtered them like livestock." Zhou Yi took a fierce gulp of coconut juice, his face full of indignation.

After receiving the mandate from Emperor Zhao Xu, he had led the fleet to Hawaii.

Here, they easily eliminated the Sam Country troops and soldiers who had attempted to hold Hawaii, and took control of the place.

Afterward, their navy continuously traveled back and forth between Da Song and Hawaii to transport soldiers, weapons, ammunition, grain, and other supplies, storing them in the warehouses on the island.

At the same time, they selected three thousand young and strong individuals from the rescued Indians to undergo military training and promoted the Indian Restoration Movement to them.

These Indians included both men and women, struggling to survive here while serving as slaves.

Whether it was the first generation of Indians who arrived here or the second generation born here, their persecution by the Sam Country people made them extremely hateful toward the Sam Country.

It was just that they were intimidated by the guns and cannons of the Sam Country people and were powerless to resist, having no choice but to live in humiliation.

The arrival of the Da Song army liberated them from their dark lives.

And the Indian Restoration Movement promoted by the Da Song army gave them hope of reclaiming their homeland.

After all, the Da Song army had easily defeated the Sam Country people.

With the support of such a powerful nation, their future would be bright.

Precisely because of this, the young and strong Indians actively threw themselves into the military training set up by the Da Song army.

There were also many first-generation Indians who voluntarily acted as guides.

They sailed with the Da Song warships along the coast of the Sam Country to the east of Hawaii, searching for traces of their tribesmen, hoping to unite their people.

"General Zhou, another ship has returned, and this one also seems to be fully loaded." As the two were chatting, Qin Shan suddenly pointed to the sea.

Three sailing warships were slowly heading toward the harbor, their decks covered with curious Indians.

Only three thousand young and strong Indians on the island were receiving training, but in reality, there were currently eight thousand young and strong Indians on the island.

These extra young and strong Indians came from the Indian tribes they had found.

Due to being hunted by the Sam Country people for years, the Indians were actually full of vigilance toward outsiders, including the Da Song people.

However, the Indians on Hawaii Island had played their role as guides.

Under their persuasion, some Indian tribes sent their clansmen to the island to investigate.

Upon discovering that Da Song was truly supporting them in reclaiming their own homeland, the Indian tribes let down their guard.

Some small tribes were even willing to follow the Da Song fleet to hide on the island to escape being hunted down.

The young and strong of their tribes naturally joined the Indian Restoration Army.

As the news spread, it was only natural that more Indian tribes chose to seek help from Great Song.

However, ever since the Great Song army came east, Sam Country has been extremely vigilant.

Their actions have already aroused the vigilance and panic of Sam Country.

According to intelligence provided by their Silver Fox personnel lurking in Sam Country.

The Sam Country Congress is preparing to pass a bill, intending to exterminate the Indians to eliminate future trouble.

If the bill passes, the Indians, who were driven from the fertile East Coast to the desolate West, will suffer even more inhumane slaughter.

However, the people of Sam Country will soon realize that the Indians are no longer without the power to resist.

Their policies will invite the cold-blooded retaliation of the Indian Restoration Army.
