Chapter 609 The Arrival of the Iron Armor Era 1

Nearly 15 million immigrants have been evenly scattered on the mainland, the mainland, the Nanyang Islands, the Annan Peninsula, and the Indian subcontinent, and Australia. Among them, the Nanyang Islands and the Annan Peninsula are the most. However, even the most remote Australia, or the powerful Indian subcontinent, They have migrated more than one million people.

Australia has explored giant iron ores in the western Pilbara region. In addition, gold, silver, iron, coal and other minerals have been found everywhere in Australia. The reserves are so rich that it is amazing.

Under the deliberate promotion of the political axe, various mainland business groups represented by Jin, Guangdong, Hui and Huai merchants have flocked to the mineral island of Australia. In addition to those giant chaebols, those poor people or adventurers who are eager to get wealth also have dreams towards Australia. Gush up.

From last year to this year alone, nearly 350,000 people have landed on the world's largest island, not including those North Korean and Japanese workers who were transported to Australia by the political axe transport fleet for infrastructure and mining.

In addition to the above areas, the New World, the route from the motherland to the New World can almost be called the busiest route in the world at present. Almost every day, there are merchant ships or transport ships depart from the empire to the New World.

Also because of wealth, the development of gold mines around San Francisco in the New World has also attracted countless people. The important thing is that the political axe has increased publicity. Every citizen of the Chinese Empire who has arrived in the New World can get about 50 mu of land, 50 mu. What kind of concept is this? It means a family of five. Everyone, regardless of men or women, old or young, can get 50 mu of land. Together, it is 250 mu. According to the per capita mu of land in later generations, it is simply extremely high. It is said that it is a small farmer.

Besides, in addition to the fields, they will also build houses for you, give you seeds and farm tools, each family can also get a horse, and also tell you how to use horse farming. In addition, children can go to school to learn culture before they reach adulthood, and everything is just to attract the population.

I have to say that the Chinese nation is indeed the most diligent and tenacious nation in the world. In a foreign country, in a new land, they work hard to cultivate the land and build factories every day. Everything is to support themselves and survive.

And these days, in the empire, the most fashionable greeting is not to eat, but to ask how many more families in your village have moved away. Not only the displaced people, but also the landless tenants in many places have joined the industry. What the people want is to have their own fields and have a full mouthful of food.

--------------------

On the other side of the distant ocean, it is developing rapidly at this moment, and Chinese towns are gradually spreading around with three colonial points. The influx of a large number of people has not only made food and minerals gradually self-sufficient, but also able to produce part of their own arms for training.

And a lot of preparatory work in the early stage has made the Chinese military strength on the New World expand more and more.

A total of five Japanese servants, four imperial divisions, one imperial cavalry division and an artillery brigade, and three Korean logistics supply divisions, excluding the reserve of about seven divisions, these are the military forces of the Chinese Empire on the land of the New World.

At sea, the New World Fleet has been expanded several times. It is no longer the medium-sized fleet with only one third-class battleship and more than 50 three-mast warships as the main force, but a huge fleet with four new third-class battleships and twelve fourth-class battleships as the main force. The total number of warships has reached the goal. A quarter of the total number of warships of the former Chinese Empire.

They are divided into three squadrons, one is a Hawaii squadron based in Hawaii, one is a San Francisco squadron stationed in San Francisco, and the other is stationed in Panama.

However, at this time, the three squadrons of the New World were like three tiger sharks that smelled the smell of blood, and coincidentally rushed to Port Monte in the south-central part of Chile, a Spanish colony in South America.

"Look, there are seagulls! A large number of seabirds were found in front of them. The scouts on the flagship of the fleet pointed to the front and shouted excitedly, quickly attracting the attention of everyone, including the captains of the ships and Mo Huaiqin, the commander of the Hawaii Squadron.

"It seems that it's not far from the land." Mo Huaijin stretched his arms hard and was quite excited. After a long voyage, he could see the land again. For everyone who had been drifting on the sea for a long time, he seemed to have won the jacktoe again.

"Commander, did you order the fleet to accelerate?" The fleet staff came forward, took a deep breath of the slightly salty air, and proposed to Mo Huaiqin.

Mo Huaijin turned his head and looked at the dense mast sail behind him. Where is Captain Zhang's ironclad ship?

"Captain Zhang's ironclad ship sailed in the center of the fleet, surrounded by 27 latest steam sail warships." The fleet staff immediately replied.

"Well, let me take a close look. These are all our treasures. Don't lose them at will." Mo Huaijin said in a pun, and the generals behind him agreed in unison.

After just over two hours, they could see a line of land in the distant sea. All the people immediately cheered. Before long, a fast ship came from the opposite side. When the identity of the fleet was confirmed, as a pilot ship, they led the fleet to the port of Montt.

Monte Port is located at the top of Lelong Carvey Bay in the Pacific Ocean. It is an excellent port. When the fleet with the flag of the Chinese Empire arrived at the harbor, it could be seen that countless warships had already been squeezed out in the port of Monte, all of which belonged to the Chinese Empire.

"Damn it, it seems that they have all arrived. We are the last fleet to arrive." Mo Huaijin smashed his mouth and said with a gribiful face. All right, inform the ships to get off the anchor ship. It's time for us to go ashore to see those old acquaintances.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Baozai jumped from the boat to the wharf, looking at the tall buildings full of exotic customs, as well as many Spanish-speaking Westerners and local Yin Di'an people who were busy at the wharf, all of whom rolled their eyes and looked at the dense, almost the whole wharf. The fleet is so crowded that you can't see the water.

"Your Highness, it's time for us to go. The commander-in-chief is waiting for you in the conference room." A powerful lieutenant officer of Wu Kong, who was about 40 years old, walked to Zhang Baozai, saluted him and said respectfully.

"Lieutenant Fang, please don't call me Your Highness or Your Highness? My godfather has said that in the army, you can't think of me as that prince. Zhang Baozai seems to be the same as Liang Pengfei, and he is not very suitable for the new identity and title.

"Yes, hall, um, captain!" The lieutenant Fang laughed twice and then stopped talking. He led Zhang Baozai to walk quickly towards the tall building with the flag of the Chinese Empire in the port. After coming to the door to ask about it, Zhang Baozai soon came to the third floor.

As the door was gently pushed open, the people who were holding the meeting couldn't help but focus their eyes on the door. Zhang Baozai took a deep breath, walked into the room, and gently walked to the last row and sat down.

The chief seng of the New World Fleet, standing in front of the chart, withdrew his eyes, cleared his throat and continued to explain the latest situation to the captains of more than a hundred main warships in this conference room.

...In less than five days at the latest, the fleet of the United States of America, which has been repaired and replenished in the port of Tanales in southern Chile, will arrive at their next destination, Port Eisen. And we have identified the battlefield at the southern end of Chilo Island. An important strategy for the imperial control and colonization of the New World. We must defeat the expeditionary fleet of the United States of America in this area, let them understand that the west coast of the New World belongs to the empire, and let them know clearly that the empire's fleet can destroy any enemy!"

The captains are very excited. Yes, since the establishment of the New World Fleet to now, except for suppressing pirates and occasionally cleaning up the "exploring fleets" of the United States of America, they have hardly met a decent opponent.

Now, the United States of America has sent a powerful expeditionary fleet to the west coast. Naturally, their purpose is not to travel here, but to cooperate with their ground troops to challenge the Chinese colonies on the west coast of the New World, intending that this area has been firmly held by the Chinese Empire. The land promotes the ownership of the United States of America to the whole North New World.

However, they had already miscalculated and rashly launched this expedition without knowing Liang Pengfei, the imperial emperor's persistent pursuit of land and ambition for the New World, as well as the Chinese Empire's rapidly developing forces in the New World, which was completely like a piece of earth with a head sandwiched between the door. If the dog wants to talk about the roast chicken on its owner's plate, the end will be extremely desolate.

Not long after the meeting was over, Zhang Xingba, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, walked to Zhang Baozai and looked at the little guy who rushed a lot. Zhang Xingba couldn't help grinning. Boy, the bigger child is really like a person now.

"...Uncle Zhang, why is your mouth still so bad?" Zhang Baozai rolled his eyes helplessly and retorted in a low voice.

"Hey hey, okay, silly boy, let's go to Uncle Zhang's office. Your uncle, I have something to tell you." Whether Zhang Baozai agreed or disagreed, Zhang Xingba dragged Zhang Baozai to his temporary office here.
