At 8 o'clock in the morning of June 5, the Pride replenished some vegetables and fruits on the dock of Nantian Yizhai, and unloaded 3,000 single-shot handcuff bullets and 100 57-style hand@grenade @ bombs---- which were originally part of the secret arms trade with Sulu.

By the way, considering that Shuizhai has just experienced a big war, this part of the ammunition is half bought and half given.

Li Sanduo had no choice but to leave at this time, because according to the agreement, the secret trade representative of the King of Sulu should be waiting near Manado these days, and the Pride would continue to go north to Macao to complete its trade voyage after doing business there.

Xianggu led the villagers to see off the Pride on the dock, only Xi'er hid in the big house in the distance and silently watched the Pride fade away, until her blue sail disappeared into the sea and sky......

First of all, Ren Ke of Zixia Island sent a telegram, asking the Federal Ministry of Finance to allocate more budget, after all, this time Zixia Island is going to have so many people, and all kinds of materials and preparations for reclamation and resettlement must be done in advance, obviously all this must be implemented in the end.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Beiguo, who was seizing the time to train the crew of the Feminist at Zhuyuan Public School, and Li Junming, who was acting first mate on the Nicole, submitted a report to the president in their capacity as the director and deputy director of the Federal Immigration Bureau, in which it was proposed that it was now necessary to take advantage of the favorable conditions of some villagers in Nantianyi Village to be stationed in Manado, and that the Federal Immigration Bureau planned to build a radio communication base station in Manado to completely solve the radio communication problem between the Red House and overseas territories.

For the traversers, because there is no base station as an intermediary, the problem of poor long-distance radio communication signals between places has always existed.

In the past, from Macao to Xin'an Cheng to the Red Mansion, radio communication between various places mainly relied on the relay of radio signals from the Pride and Nicole.

However, it can only be said that for the high-power radio stations of the old world, the problem of poor signal caused by the wide frequency of spark transmitters and susceptibility to weather interference has not been well solved.

Recently, Xiao Fei's radio studio finally succeeded in developing a set of Marconi spark transceivers based entirely on the technological conditions of the New World, which are quite large, mainly because of the large size of the electronic components.

Not only that, but the weight of the battery that is matched with it reaches 400 kilograms, and the weight of the entire transceiver system exceeds one ton, not counting the large antennas that must be installed in the field.

According to Xiao Fei's theoretical calculations, the maximum communication distance is estimated to be 1,500 kilometers, and if we take into account the weather conditions and the influence of the terrain, the reliable communication distance is about 1,200 kilometers, which is indeed a bit insufficient compared with the 3,000 kilometers of the current radio stations in two ships and three places.

But everyone expressed their heartfelt congratulations to Xiao Fei for making such a radio communication tool under such simple conditions by himself, and everyone knew very well that radio stations from the old world would eventually wear out and the components would age, in short, these equipment from the old world would have to be broken sooner or later.

So if we haven't developed our own radio communication system before all the communication equipment is broken, then the situation is really not good.

Fortunately, Xiao Fei lived up to expectations, and with the support of Xia Xiaoou and Yu He's huge financial resources, he finally gave everyone a reassurance in this regard.

The scientific and technological achievement of self-developed high-power radio station is the same as the basic qualified ductile mill produced by the foundry presided over by Quan Zhenhai, which is regarded as the two most exciting good news in the first half of this year.

For this reason, Zhu Beiguo and Li Junming proposed in a timely manner that a network of radio communication base stations should be established in the waters of the South Seas, and that Manado has a relatively superior geographical location in the western waters of the South Seas, and that a base station should be built here, and that special radio communication personnel should be assigned to operate in turns 24 hours a day, so that the radio communications between Xin'an City, Zixia Island, and the Red Mansion would be unimpeded, and if a base station could be placed in the Holo Harbor in Sulu in the future, then the radio communications in the entire southern waters of the South China Sea would be unimpeded.

Obviously, in the near future, such base stations will spread all over the waters of the South Sea, and even penetrate deep into the entire East Asian seas.

The report of Zhu Beiguo and Li Junming also stressed that these communication base stations are the infrastructure for the Federal Migration Service to carry out its work, so they hope that the president and the federal senate will approve the construction plan.

As for the layout, construction and operation of these base stations, it is clear that the Federal Migration Service should be responsible.

Therefore, Zhu and Li said in the report that Manado is of great significance to us, and that Manado should not be just a temporary base for us, but a port that should be held for a long time and operated and built for a long time from now on.

Of course, to build a base station, there is still a shortcoming: radio transmitters and receivers, and the cultivation of talents, so in the final analysis, it is still a problem of obtaining immigrants.

Zhu and Li explained in their report that according to our close contact and understanding with the two holy women of the big and small of Nantian Yizhai and the generals, of course, this mainly refers to the exchanges and contacts between Zhu Beiguo and the two holy women, and Nantian Yizhai has close business contacts with Borneo, Java, Sulawesi and Luzon Islands in the Nanyang Sea on weekdays.

According to what we learned from Huang Xianggu, there are a large number of Han water villages and Han settlements in these areas, and the vast majority of these Han people fled to those places to escape various wars on the mainland.

At present, most of these water villages and Han Chinese villages are nominally subordinate to the local indigenous kingdoms, but because they are outsiders, they are often exploited by the local indigenous kingdoms, especially when there are disputes with local tribes, and they are not treated fairly at all.

Therefore, the life of this ethnic group in the local area is not easy, Huang Xianggu once suggested to Zhu Beiguo in person that if the Australians are willing to stand up for the Han people, the Han people in these water villages and settlements will definitely submit to the Australian Federation.

Zhu Beiguo believes that the situation provided by Huang Xianggu is very important, after all, the two sides are of the same language and species, and we have a natural affinity, and now we have Nantian Yizhai as an intermediary, once the protector of the Han people appears, these Han people should follow us, at least with us of one mind, no matter how bad it is, it should be able to recruit a large number of Han labor from this group.

The report was slightly sorted out by President Sun and quickly submitted directly to the Bundesrat.

Sun Lao's opinion is that this proposal of the Federal Immigration Bureau should be feasible, and he believes that what needs to be done now is to first contact the Han people in those water villages and settlements, and the specific operation should naturally be the responsibility of the Immigration Bureau, and Sun Lao thinks more broadly, he said that the intermediary between us and the local Han people should be Han leaders like the Xue family brothers, Gao Jun and Huang Xianggu of Dayuanwan Water Village.
