Chapter 609 The Armor Age (2)

Nearly 15 million immigrants have evenly spread across the continent, the South Ocean Islands, the Annan Peninsula, the Indian subcontinent, and Australia. Among them, the Annan Peninsula is the most important. However, even the most remote Australia, or the powerful Indian subcontinent, have migrated more than one million people.

Australia has explored huge iron ore in the western Pilbara area, and has also found various minerals such as gold, silver, iron, and coal everywhere in Australia. The rich reserves are astonishing.

Under the deliberate publicity of the government, various mainland commercial groups represented by Jin, Guangdong, Hui and Huai Shang rushed towards Australia's mineral island. In addition to the giant chaebols, those paupers or adventurers who were eager to gain wealth also rushed towards Australia with dreams.

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 government transport fleets for infrastructure and mining.

In addition to the above areas, the route between the New World and the New World can be almost called the busiest route in the world at present. Almost every day, merchant ships or transport ships set off from the empire and head to the New World.

Also because of wealth, the development of gold mines in the San Francisco area of ​​the New World has attracted countless people. Importantly, the government has increased its publicity. Every Chinese empire who arrived in the New World can obtain about fifty acres of land, fifty acres. What is this? It means that a family of five, regardless of men, women, young and old, each person can obtain 50 acres of land. Together, it is 250 acres. According to the per capita land acres of China in later generations, it is simply extremely high, and it is said that it is a small farmer.

Besides, in addition to fields, you will also build houses, give you seeds and farm tools. Each household can also get a horse and also give you instructions on how to use horse farming. In addition, children can enter school to learn culture before they become adults, and everything is just to attract population.

It has to be said that the Chinese nation is indeed the most hardworking and tenacious nation in the world. In foreign lands and on new lands, they work hard to cultivate the land and build factories every day. Everything is to support themselves and survive.

Nowadays, on the empire, the most fashionable greeting is not whether to have a meal, but to ask how many more families in your village have moved away. Not only those displaced refugees, but also landless tenants from many places have joined this industry. What the people are greedy for is that they hope to have their own land and have a full meal.

On the other side of the distant ocean, it is developing rapidly at this moment. Chinese towns are gradually spreading around with three colonies. A large number of people are pouring in, which not only makes the food and minerals of that year gradually become self-sufficient, but can even produce some of the arms themselves for training.

The large amount of preparations in the early stage have caused the Chinese military power on the New World to expand increasingly.

There were five Japanese servant divisions, four imperial divisions, one imperial cavalry division and one artillery brigade, and three Korean logistics supply divisions. This did not include the reserves of about seven divisions. These were the military forces of the Chinese Empire on the land of the New World.

On the sea, the New World Fleet has been expanded several times and is no longer the medium-sized fleet with only one third-level battleship and more than fifty three-masted battleships as the main force. Instead, it has four new third-level battleships and twelve fourth-level battleships as the main force. The total number of warships has reached one-quarter of the total number of warships in the Chinese Empire.

They were divided into three squadrons, one was a Hawaiian squadron based on Hawaii, one was a San Francisco squadron stationed in San Francisco, and the other was a San Francisco stationed in San Francisco, and the other was a Panama.

However, at this time, the three squadrons of the New World were like three tiger sharks that smelled blood, and rushed towards Monte, the Spanish colony in southern and southern Chile, which was located in South America.

"Look, there are seagulls! There are a large number of seabirds in front of you." The scout on the fleet's flagship pointed to the front and shouted loudly, quickly attracting everyone's attention, including the captains of the ships and the commander of the Hawaiian squadron, Mo Huaijin.

"It seems that it is not far from the land." Mo Huaijin stretched his arms vigorously and said excitedly that after a long sailing, being able to see the land again seemed to have won the first prize for every person who had been wandering on the sea for a long time.

"Commander, have you ordered the fleet to accelerate?" The fleet staff came forward, breathed deeply in the slightly salty air, and suggested to Mo Huaijin.

Mo Huaijin turned his head and looked at the densely packed tall and mastled sail behind him. "Where is Captain Zhang's iron armored ship?"

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

"Well, let me take a close look. These are our treasures, so you must not make any mistakes at will." Mo Huaijin said in a pun, and the generals behind him understood the same voice.

In just over two hours, we could see a line of land exposed on the distant sea surface. Everyone cheered. Not long after, a fast ship sailed across the opposite side. After confirming the identity of this fleet, we led the fleet towards Port Monte as a pilot ship.

Monte Harbor is located at the top of Lelonkavi Bay in the Pacific. It is an excellent port. When this fleet with the flag of the Chinese Empire arrived at the port, it was already possible to see that countless warships had been squeezed out in Monte Harbor, all of which were warships belonging to the Chinese Empire.

"Damn it seems that all have arrived. We are the last fleet to arrive." Mo Huaijin smashed his mouth and said with a look of disappointment. "Okay, I'll inform all the ships to get off the anchorage. It's time for us to go ashore to see those old acquaintances."

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Baozai jumped from the small boat to the dock, looking at the tall buildings full of exotic style, and many Spanish-speaking Westerners and local Yin Di'an people were busy at the dock, all of whom were staring at the dense fleet that almost squeezed the entire dock so that it could not be seen on the water.

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

"Lieutenant Fang, don't you ask me not to call me Your Highness? My godfather told me that in the army, you can't treat me as that prince." Zhang Baozai seemed to be a guy with Liang Pengfei, and he was not very adapted to his new identity and title.

"Yes, yes, captain!" The Lieutenant Fang laughed twice and stopped talking. He led Zhang Baozai to walk quickly towards the tall building with the flag of the Chinese Empire at the port. After reaching the door and asking, Zhang Baozai quickly arrived at 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 walked to the last row and sat down.

The General Staff of the New Continental Fleet, standing in front of the chart, withdrew his gaze, cleared his throat and continued to explain the latest situation to the captains of the more than 100 main battleships in the conference room.

"...At the latest no later than five days, the United States of America's fleet, which was repaired and supplied in the Port of Tanales in southern Chile, will arrive at their next destination, Port Eisen. And we have set the battlefield at the southern end of Chiaero. For the important strategy of the empire to control and colonize the New World, we must defeat the United States of America's expeditionary fleet in this area, so that they can 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 all seemed very excited. Yes, since the establishment of the New World Fleet to the present, apart from suppressing pirates and occasionally cleaning up the "exploration fleets" of the United States of America, they have hardly encountered a decent opponent.

Now, the United States of America has sent a powerful expeditionary fleet to the west coast. Their purpose is naturally not to come here to visit, but to cooperate with their ground forces to challenge the Chinese Empire's colonies on the west coast of the New World, with the intention of seizing this land that has been firmly controlled by the Chinese Empire and to promote the United States of America's ownership of the entire Northern New World.

However, they had already made the wrong plan. Without understanding the persistent pursuit of land by the imperial emperor Liang Pengfei and his ambition for the New World, as well as the rapid development of the Chinese Empire in the New World, it rashly launched this expedition. It was like a local dog with a head that was stuck in the crack of the door and wanted to slap the roast chicken on the owner's plate, and the fate would be extremely desolate.

Not long after, the meeting ended, the fleet commander-in-chief Zhang Xingba walked to Zhang Baozai, looked at the little guy who had been running a lot more, and Zhang Xingba couldn't help but grin. "Boy, the big-for-nothing child is really like a human now."

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