Super Chief - Chapter 736
At the same time when the soldiers of the Grimbear Army invaded the Governor-General of New Spain, the Majestic Empire was not idle. The Empire began to build ports and shipyards on the west coast. The specific location was near San Diego in later generations.
Later American San Diego is an important port city on the west coast of the United States, especially the famous San Diego Bay is an extremely fine natural deep-water port. The natural breakwater with a width of less than one kilometer between Colorado Island and the southern mainland makes the entire San Diego Bay calm and is an excellent port.
Although San Francisco in the north is also great, compared to San Diego, which has better traffic, the development of San Francisco has to wait.
The reason for building a port city and a large shipyard in San Diego is actually very simple, that is, before the opening of the Panama Canal, it will become a base for the empire to enter the Pacific Ocean.
Ever since the soul penetrated into this time and space, Shi Xiong never wanted to let go of the Pacific Ocean. How important is the Pacific in the future generations, so Shi Xiong wants to turn the Pacific into his own swimming pool.
Not to mention the various feelings in the previous life, Shi Xiong did not want the disaster-ridden country on the other side of the ocean to reproduce the bad things in the original historical time and space.
Instead of letting the British and the Eight-Power Allied Forces toss the great country, it is better to replace the European powers and protect that great country.
Of course, it is only the end of the eighteenth century, even if it is half a century before the first Opium War. Moreover, the old man Qianlong is still alive, and Europeans dare not provoke the country on the other side of the ocean.
Therefore, Shi Xiong intends to establish a fun passage as soon as possible. Once something becomes difficult in that country, the Great China Empire can quickly intervene.
In fact, at this time, it is not difficult to enter North America from the east coast of Asia across the Pacific Ocean. As early as more than three thousand years ago, the people of Yin traveled eastward, and with the advent of the era of great navigation, crossing the Pacific Ocean is not difficult.
Now if you want to cross the Pacific Ocean from east to west, you just have to follow the ocean currents.
For example, starting from Zhoushan or Quanzhou, entering the East China Sea, going north along the Pacific Kuroshio, which is the Japanese warm current, and after reaching the waters near forty-three degrees north latitude, then along the North Pacific warm current all the way to the east. When we are about to reach the New World of North America, we will go south along the California cold current and we will directly arrive at any port city on the west coast of North America.
In fact, this route is also the route used by the Spaniards to travel between Luzon and North America. As early as two hundred years ago, the Spaniards figured out this route, and the Spanish galleon carrying a full of spices and other cargoes returned from Manila to the port of Acapulco on the east coast of the Governorate of New Spain. This line.
This route also has a very famous name-the galleon trade route, also called the Manila-Acapulco route.
It’s just that in the age of sailing, the sailing time of this route is relatively long. If you start from Manila, it will take about six months to reach North America on this route. That’s because the flow of the North Pacific warm current is relatively slow.
But if you travel from North America to Asia, walking along the North Equatorial Warm Current will be much faster. It only takes three months to cross the Pacific Ocean from west to east. The reason why it is so fast is because the North Equatorial Warm Current is an ocean current formed by the northeast trade wind, so it has a fast velocity and belongs to the wind ocean current.
There is specific information about the warm current, and naturally no one understands it in this era. But I can’t stand the stone bear to understand, so it is the stone bear that plans to build a large port and a large shipyard in San Diego.
Once this is built, the Indonesian archipelago, Southeast Asia, Australia, all his sisters must become the back garden of the empire!
what? You said that the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, which have huge interests in Southeast Asia and South Asia, expressed dissatisfaction.
It’s okay, just fight if you don’t accept the big deal! Just see whose fleet is better!
In Lao Tzu’s plan, the Pacific and Indian Oceans must belong to Lao Tzu. Whoever dared to grab it, I would beat it up!
In the original historical time and space, the British began to transport colonists composed of criminals to New South Wales, Australia, at the beginning of 1788. However, in this time and space, Australia was discovered very early, but because the War of Independence was fought for several years longer than in the original historical time and space, the British had not yet occupied Australia at this time.
Actually, it doesn’t matter even if it is occupied. The first colonists sent by the British to Australia were all criminals and refugees. It is really worthless to let this kind of **** occupy Australia. It’s a big deal.
In these years, whoever has the big fist is the boss.
Isn’t it as if the current empire is not doing this kind of thing?
The Kingdom of Spain has occupied the Governorate of New Spain with a history of more than two hundred years, but now it has not been beaten by the empire’s violent bear army. Seeing that the entire Governorate of New Spain will completely fall into the hands of the empire. Up.
What can Spain say?
The most important thing is that when you encounter this kind of thing, it doesn’t matter what you say, the important thing is whether you have the strength to support what you say or what you want…
You have the strength, so you can say whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want. No one can stop you.
But if you don’t have that strength, don’t beep. Too many beeps and easy to be beaten…
In this way~www.mtlnovel.com~ After the founding of the country, the Majestic Empire launched an offensive against the New Spanish Governor’s District. At the same time, it began to build port cities and shipyards on the west and east coasts, and various administrative measures within the empire. It has also been continuously implemented.
A newly established country has such advantages. Even if there are obvious shortcomings in various aspects, the domestic people’s hearts are high.
People all over the country think together and work hard together, and there is basically nothing that can’t be done. Coupled with the external protection of the empire’s powerful armed forces, this is enough to allow the development of the empire to increase rapidly in a leap-like manner.
As for the Kingdom of Spain, of course, they don’t want the New Spain Governor’s District to be lost in vain, but they dare not really anger the increasingly powerful Great China Empire, and whether it is Britain or France, they all stand aside watching the excitement at this time. The Spaniard is angry and angry, but there is no way.
When the three countries formed a joint fleet to come to North America, it was because the three countries knew that the American Federation was very weak and could not threaten the interests of the three countries in North America.
But now, the powerful Dahua Empire is not something they can afford. Especially now that the finances of Britain and France have become extremely tight because of the War of Independence and the offensive and defensive battle of the Gibraltar Fortress, no one wants to provoke a powerful empire at this time.
Besides, the Great China Empire is now targeting the Spaniards. It’s a matter of Britain and France?
Therefore, the kingdom of Spain is really frustrated…
