The coastal areas of Patagonia are rich in four main species of fish. One is the Argentine cod, which lives in the waters of the Patagonian continental shelf and in the estuary of the Río de la Plata.

the second is the pre-rump cod, which lives off the southern coast of the Patagonian continental shelf and slopes; The third, fourth and fourth species of fish are the South American squid and the Argentine squid.

Four species of fish account for about 70 percent of the total annual fish product catch.

In addition to fishing and mineral development, animal husbandry will be the third pillar industry in Patagonia, and the majestic and rugged Andean snow-capped mountains bring valuable water resources to the region, and at the bottom of the Andes Mountains, which stretch for thousands of kilometers, the melting snow water converges into a wide river, nourishing the pastures and meadows on both sides of the river.

The Chubut, Neuquén, Limai, Lake Argentino and Lake Navelhuapi are the main water supply rivers in the Patagonian region.

The Chubut River originates in the Andes Mountains of the province of Rio Negro and flows roughly southeast, turning northeast at Paso de Indios and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. With a total length of 810 kilometers, it can be navigated by small and medium-sized transport vessels during the water season. The basin around the Chubut River is irrigated and has fertile agricultural and pastoral land suitable for raising livestock and growing fruit trees such as apples and cherries.

With a total length of 380 kilometres and a catchment area of 61,723 square kilometres, the Limai River originates at the eastern end of Lake Nahuelhuapi at an altitude of 770 meters above sea level and eventually joins the Neuquén River to form the Negro River.

Lake Nahuel Huapi and Lake Argentina are both located in the southern region of Patagonia, with Lake Nahuel Piva located in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains in the Tronado Mountains. The lake is 767 meters above sea level. The shore of the lake is about 75 kilometers long, 10 kilometers wide, 300 meters deep, and covers an area of 544 square kilometers. With its clear waters, scattered islands, and the largest island, Victoria, is home to lush boreal plants and a wide variety of flora and fauna, lush forests and beautiful landscapes, making it one of the most suitable places for immigrants to settle in Patagonia.

IntroductionLake Argentina is located further south than Lake Nahuel Huapi and has a colder climate.

Lake Argentino is a huge glacial lake. The lake is 187 meters above sea level, with an average depth of 150 meters and a maximum depth of 500 meters, covering an area of 1,466 square kilometers. The lake flows into the Atlantic Ocean via the Santa Cruz River on the east bank. Glaciers such as Moreno and Uppsala jutt into the lake, and their tongues break off into countless icebergs floating on the lake's surface.

Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, forested hillsides, majestic landscapes, and surrounded by Argentine settlements, the lakeside is suitable as the main gathering point of the country in the cold regions of southern Patagonia.

Patagonia is divided into two regions by the Andes, and the eastern part of the Andes is directly connected to the plain of La Plata, which makes it easier for the country to mobilize troops to strengthen the local armed forces.

However, in the western Andes Mountains, about 200,000 square kilometers of land, only a few narrow mountain passes and trails connect with the eastern region, and every time we transport war supplies from Shouzhou to Haizhou, we have to pass through three or four hundred kilometers of uninhabited land, climb high and low peaks, and cross roads, and then rely on alpacas, pack horses, and other livestock to hand over the materials to the garrison on the other side of the mountain range.

In the early days of the occupation, the Haizhou garrison relied on the outside for the supply of food, clothing, medicine, guns and ammunition, and the transportation cost was high, but because of the large number of native pack horses and alpacas, and the low cost of using livestock as a means of transportation, the cost of maintaining the garrison on the Pacific side of Patagonia was not too alarming.

Haizhou directly faces the South Pacific Ocean, the coastal area is not far from the Chilean fishing grounds, and the fishery resources are no less than those in the eastern coastal areas of Patagonia.

Haizhou, as well as the waters around Easter Island, Samoa, Nauru Island and other islands in the South Pacific waters west of Haizhou, will be included in the scope of fishing.

Easter Island is located about 3,600 kilometers from the South American mainland, and the Dutch navigator Rochffen first discovered and landed on the island on Easter on April 5, 1722, hence the name of the island.

From 1805 onwards, Western colonists began to come to the island to capture the Rapa Nui as slaves. In 1862, Peruvian pirates arrived in eight ships and captured more than a thousand Rapa Nui, the male Rapa Nui who were almost wiped out, and these people were transported to Peru and sold to local slave owners.

Later, under the condemnation of international public opinion, the Peruvian government had to order the slave traders to release the Rapa Nui, but the Rapa Nui had died of only about 100 people, and on the way back to Easter Island, they contracted smallpox again, and died of illness during the journey, and only 15 of them returned home. The 15 men also brought smallpox to Easter Island.

The last descendants of the legendary founding chieftain Hotu Matua died, as did all the chiefs and priests, leaving only a little more than 100 inhabitants of the island.

In 1863, French missionaries landed on Easter Island to preach, and more than a decade later, the last indigenous population moved to French Polynesia, and Easter Island was abandoned by the French and became an uninhabited island.

The surface of Easter Island is mainly composed of stones, and the soil composition is shallow, which is not suitable for the growth of crops such as wheat and soybeans, and can only grow some low-nutrient plants such as sweet potatoes.

For the French colonists, Easter Island's remote location, poor land, and long distance from the South American mainland and other islands in the South Pacific did not have the economic and strategic value of building a colony.

However, as far as the Han government is concerned, Easter Island is located in the middle of Haizhou and the Samoa Islands, and occupying the local area can obtain a foothold on the one hand, which is convenient for fishing boats to temporarily dock, and on the other hand, the number of islands in the Pacific side of the South American continent is scarce, and Easter Island covers an area of 160 square kilometers, which is one of the few medium-sized islands in the size of several sesame seeds, which can serve as a transit point for the naval fleet to maintain the connection with the Samoan Islands in wartime.

Originally, the Chileans would claim ownership of Easter Island in 1888, but now, Li Mingyuan has made arrangements, ordering the navy to send two ironclad ships to occupy Easter Island before March 1880, leaving a small number of marines and exiled criminals to guard the island, and then continue to set off with the transport fleet to take over Samoa and Nauru from the Germans.

Samoa Islands is located in the middle of the Polynesian archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean, so it has always been known as the "heart of Polynesia". It has a total of 12 large and small islands with a total area of 3,144 square kilometers.

There are two main islands with a large area: one is Savai'i Island, with an area of 1,820 square kilometers; One is Ubudlu Island, which covers an area of 1,113 square kilometers. The Samoan archipelago is the second largest of the secondary islands in Polynesia, only smaller than the Hawaiian Islands.

The Samoan archipelago is a volcanic island with rolling hills, the highest peak on Savai'i Island at an altitude of 1,858 meters, and the coastal areas of the islands have narrow plains with fertile arable land to ensure a regular food supply for immigrants.

Peizi, Tonga, French Polynesia and other regions in the central part of the South Pacific were infiltrated and controlled by British and French forces, and only the Samoa Islands were finally under the control of the Han because of the intervention of the Germans.
