Chapter 168 Return of the Expedition
The expedition team went through a long period of hard work and continuous exploration.
They discovered more than a dozen open-pit mines, including two gold mines and three oil fields.
When Ozawa saw the exciting results, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Nobita, we only conducted a simple exploration and found so many important resources!"
"If the Empire can possess these resources, then what is Yan Country?"
Daxiong smiled and responded, "That's true. Unfortunately, the climate here is still a bit bad, which brings certain difficulties to the mining work."
“But it’s a lot better than when we started.”
"Now, this kind of severe weather is gradually decreasing. If everything goes well, Australia's climate will get better and better in the future."
"Besides, we have not yet discovered the desert area. One can only imagine what this place will look like in a few years."
“It is simply a blessed land, and its value even exceeds those important resources themselves.”
"Yes, that's true." Ozawa nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Daxiong suddenly thought of a crucial question: "Ozawa, if we can make the whole of Australia our territory, then our Dongyang Kingdom can become the most powerful country in the world!"
"We must get this news back to base camp as quickly as possible, and you must not tell anyone about the situation in Australia."
Ozawa-kun replied respectfully, "Hi!"
Afterwards, the expedition team quickly rested and prepared to return home and report their major discoveries in Australia to the country.
In this way, the expedition team began its return journey, but there were only seven or eight people left out of the dozen or so people who set out on the journey.
Still, they think it was well worth it to have discovered so many important things.
Since the successful development of radar by Geely, Prussia and the United States have not been outdone. They have invested a lot of resources in research and have successively developed radar technology of their own countries.
Yan State took the lead and became the first country in the world to invent radar, and its radar technology was naturally the most advanced.
Not only that, Yan State also innovatively applied radar technology to carrier-based aircraft.
Each aircraft carrier is equipped with two carrier-based early warning aircraft.
These early warning aircraft were converted from attack aircraft, with a huge radar antenna cover installed under the nose, which was nicknamed "big butt".
Despite this, Yan State is not satisfied with the status quo, but is actively developing more professional and efficient carrier-based early warning aircraft in order to further enhance its naval strength.
At the same time, Geely had the Spitfire fighter, and Prussia launched the Bf-109 fighter to compete with it.
These two fighter jets represent the highest level of European aviation industry, and the competition between them has also promoted the rapid development of aviation technology.
However, in this arms race, the United States has remained relatively low-key.
Although the United States is also constantly strengthening its military strength, in comparison, they seem to prefer to adopt a steady strategy and quietly accumulate strength.
This seemingly inconspicuous approach is actually the consistent style of the United States - making a fortune in silence.
In this turbulent era, all countries are striving to pursue scientific and technological progress and enhance their military strength.
After a long journey, the expedition team finally returned to their homeland.
But at this time, they all looked pale and thin, which was very different from their appearance when they first appeared.
"Ah! You're finally back!"
"Yes, this expedition was really not easy."
The team members sighed one after another, with tired but satisfied smiles on their faces.
When Emperor Ito Eiji learned that the expedition had returned, he immediately summoned the leader, Lord Nobita, and asked anxiously, "How is the situation?"
The Great Boss replied respectfully: "In reply to His Majesty the Emperor, we only conducted a simple expedition and survey, but we gained a lot."
"We have discovered more than a dozen open-pit mines, including two gold mines. The gold content should not be too bad."
“In addition, three oil fields were discovered, all of which are of very good quality.”
"More importantly, we didn't find any desert areas. Australia's harsh climate is slowly improving. Maybe in the future it will become a paradise on earth."
After hearing this, Emperor Ito Eiji's eyes flashed with excitement, and he asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
The Great Boss replied firmly, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. We have marked these locations in detail."
Emperor Ito Eiji nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. You are all the greatest contributors to the empire this time."
"You guys go back and rest first. Remember, you are not allowed to leak any information."
Nobita-kun quickly responded, “Hi.”
The success of this expedition gave Dongyang State new hope.
In fact, it was not only Dongyang that sent an expedition team, but other countries also sent their own expedition teams.
What Dongyang State can think of, other countries can naturally think of as well.
Every country has taken some action to a greater or lesser extent.
After all, Australia is still an unowned land. Whoever seizes the opportunity first will have a greater advantage.
Yan State was of course no exception, they also sent an expedition team to Australia.
Despite the discovery, Yan State was not in a hurry to take action.
Because Australia is so close to the mainland of Yan Country, they have great geographical advantages.
Moreover, war might break out in the future, so Yan State chose to wait for the opportunity.
For those countries that are not naval powers, it is simply a pipe dream to covet Australia.
In other words, Prussia, Gillette, Lijian, Dongyang, Lanxi and Yan are the most powerful naval powers in the world today.
Although the Northern Bear Country is powerful, it cannot compare with these countries in terms of navy.
However, countries are currently waiting for Australia's severe weather to improve.
You have to understand that those expedition teams were all the best selected from the elite, but they still suffered such heavy casualties.
If we rush there at this time, I don’t know how many people will die.
Among these countries, Dongyang's reaction was the strongest.
Dongyang State has a small territory. Although it now has some overseas colonies, there is still a huge gap compared with other major countries.
Recently, Lanxi and Jili have been trying to invade Siam's territory.
The King of Siam was worried about this matter all day long. In order to avoid becoming a colony, they had to choose to give up part of their territory in exchange for peace.
However, the two greedy countries are not satisfied and remain aggressive.
Finally, the King of Siam made up his mind, packed his luggage, and led several followers on a plane to embark on the journey.
