Chapter 294: Colonial Department of the Americas
"How's the construction of the North American settlement?"
"Not bad, because we used the most advanced sail carrier in the kingdom, which is 140 meters long, 16 meters wide, 10 meters deep, 8 meters draft, 8,000 tons of deadweight and 11,000 tons of full load displacement.
We were able to carry enough of the necessary materials for land reclamation at one time with a large number of people.
Therefore, the more than 1,000 immigrants who arrived in advance are living quite well now, after all, it is an undeveloped virgin land, and all kinds of resources are quite abundant.
There is no shortage of resources, but the population is dragging its feet, but this can't be helped, after all, we only have a giant sail transport ship for the time being.
We now have a stronghold and control a large area of the surrounding area. Overall, good. ”
"Don't fool me, there are a lot of natives there, have we had a war with the natives?"
"Absolutely not, Your Majesty, the political cadres we sent to do a very good job, with the same skin color as the locals, as well as similar appearances, and a strong talent for language, they quickly became one with those peaceful people.
There is also the [history book] compiled in advance by the kingdom, which we and the natives opposite [have the same ancestor] as the one who also helps a lot.
Now, we are not invaders, but our brothers who have gone to help the local natives fight against the white-skinned devils. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but smile, but he didn't expect that when his brain was just open, a [genealogy] that was compiled randomly to fool the Indians really played a role after being retouched and processed by Lao Bai.
However, Chen Xin also understood that it must also be because the immigrants of the kingdom are protected by non-human powerhouses like Huben and full-time soldiers with advanced weapons, and they are strong in force, otherwise, who would listen to the nonsense of outsiders like themselves.
This world is like this, with force, there is the right to speak, the reason can be reasonable, without force, even if it is reasonable, it is unreasonable.
Before Chen Xin crossed over, Huaxia's encounter in the world is not a good example.
When there is no strength, the implementation of the peace model plan can be completely overthrown and torn up, maritime territory like the Galaxy can be trampled on at will, and embassies can be [bombed by mistake].
However, after China's comprehensive strength goes up, for the sake of those projects with huge interests, the incredible countries that were originally bullish and reserved can't do it one by one, don't they all come to kneel and lick it!
Shaking his head and throwing these things out of his mind, Chen Xin continued to ask.
"So, is there a big white skin haunt over there in the settlement we have established?"
"For the time being, there are only sporadic whiteskins, and I heard that there are whiteskinned settlements further south, but in the north, no smashing is found."
"Be cautious, in terms of force, you must be ready to go to war at any time, the white skins who are willing to fly across the sea to live on a strange continent in this era are either poor indentured slaves who can't open the pot and are ready to fight, or some scum and careerists.
In the face of these people, there must not be the slightest softness.
In addition, it is necessary to guard against the ideological erosion of the white-skinned people, to grasp the religious policy well, and to monitor, control, absorb, and use those clergy. ”
"I understand, the minister will definitely do a good job of related work."
"How's the way to North America with the monsoon and ocean currents?"
"It's progressing fairly well, because with the help of new technologies, we've been able to capture the monsoon and ocean currents, and now we've found the best way to get to North America quickly.
Sailing along the course, the sailboat will reach its destination in less than three months.
Most excitingly, we found a huge gold mine near the first settlement near the waterway, which was able to ensure the initial construction and financial balance of the settlement and settlement without much subsidy from the kingdom. ”
Chen Xin was extremely satisfied with this, and followed the finger of the person in charge of the American colonies and looked at the map, wasn't the first gathering point located in the area of San Francisco in the later world?
It seems that although time has changed, the laws of nature will not change, and under the guidance of ocean currents, the Chinese were the first to land on this land.
However, Chen Xin remembered more clearly, there were no supply points along this waterway, and in the kingdom, except for the professional immigrant giant ship, other small boats, if they wanted to pass through this vast ocean, they were afraid that they would die in death.
He took his gaze off the reporter's fingers, shifted a little to the north, and asked, "Can't you find a way to move from the north, along the Kuril Islands and the Aleutian Islands?" That area is full of land, so I'm afraid it's more convenient in terms of supplies, right?
If we could set up supply points in those places, along the way, wouldn't it be possible to transport people and supplies in small boats? Will colonization speed up considerably? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is a land to take care of, and it is more convenient to supply them, and they can be transported by small boats. However, the northern shipping lanes are frozen all year round, making it extremely dangerous for ships to navigate.
Although the kingdom has developed icebreakers, the problem of huge coal consumption due to its huge power cannot be solved.
If you want to make an icebreaker sail on the ocean, the consumption of supply points that need to be built will be much beyond the current capacity of the kingdom, after all, it is very difficult to build a coal and water supply point in a place where there are no coal resources.
In this case, it is better to use the small boat and let the big boat float slowly in a safe area.
At least, it's safe that way. ”
"I see." Chen Xin understands the choice of the American Colonial Department.
Although, the kingdom now has only one large ship capable of carrying a huge number of people and supplies across the ocean to reach North America safely.
However, in the case of the chosen shipping lane, the efficiency of this is far greater than the efficiency of moving along the northern supply depot with a large number of small boats.
Chen Xin knew that he could not know more about sea navigation than the experts who had visited the field on the front line, so he did not say anything more and happily signed and sealed the document submitted by the North American Colonial Department.
"Next."
······
It took a full three hours to finish all the work that had been left behind.
Chen Xin divided the document into three parts, agreeable, vetoed, and needed to be reconsidered, and then instructed the secretary to send the document down.
Watching several secretaries pack the documents according to the catalog and compare the number and ownership of the documents, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh, it's really tiring.
This is just a small area, including most of the Korean Peninsula, plus a small country on the island of Kyushu.
In such a small place, there are so many official affairs, if in the near future, the Korean Peninsula is completely unified and marches to the Liaodong region, will it not be exhausted to death!
Chen Xin couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, there was a tiger ben with full loyalty who was doing his own job and helping to do supervision work, spying on those natural person officials.
Aided by the Cabinet and the Privy Council, which imitated the central government of China, as long as the various government departments were gradually improved, it would be much easier.
