Gao Junshan's fleet came to Manchester City, and the fleet was anchored at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, where another 10,000-ton freighter joined in, so that Gao Junshan's fleet had two battleships and three freighters.

Because of the reason that the freighter was to be loaded, Gao Junshan left the "Jinling No. 1", he took Tian Qiliang, changed to a speedboat, entered the Chao Phraya River, and came to the Jindou Pier in Manchester City.

At Jindou Wharf, the mayor of Mancheng is Marven was already waiting here, and as soon as he got ashore, Marven picked up Gao Junshan and Tian Qiliang into the carriage.

Gao Junshan is satisfied with the effectiveness of Marven's governance of Manchester City, as soon as he steps on the streets of Manchester City, he can feel the changes in Manchester City, not only high-rise buildings, clean streets, but also a strong commercial atmosphere, and more importantly, the existence of Chinese culture is reflected everywhere.

This time it was Li Hu who followed Gao Junshan, Li Hu was the leader of the Cao Gang, and he was responsible for Gao Junshan's security in Manchester City, Gao Junshan was very relieved, because Manchester City was an important stronghold of the Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang had a lot of power here.

Marven and Gao Junshan sat in the same carriage, and in the carriage, Marven asked: "Father, do you want to stay in Manchester City for a few more days this time?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "It depends on the loading schedule of the cargo ship, and after the three cargo ships are filled on the dock, I will set off." ”

Marven said: "Manchester City does not have a large wharf, the two 5,000-ton freighters can still enter the port to load, and the 10,000-ton ships can only be transferred by transport ships." ”

Gao Junshan joked: "Now I am working for you!" ”

Marven said with a smile: "Father, this is also a helpless thing, who told us that there is too much grain in Manchester City, and the transportation is not effective, so we can only drive my father's ship to transport the grain back to the mainland for us." ”

Gao Junshan asked: "Of course, transporting a little bit to you will relieve you a little bit of pressure." ”

Marven said: "We are looking forward to the construction of the railway as soon as possible, so that our grain will not be unable to be transported." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Do you think the railway is so easy to repair? I can tell you in no uncertain terms that the railroad will not be able to be laid here in ten years. The terrain of the Indochina Peninsula is complex, and the terrain is complex! ”

Marven said: "The pressure on our side to transport grain is too great, and the rent paid to me by Siam also needs us to bear the transportation, and I, the mayor, have a headache every harvest season." ”

Gao Junshan asked: "Does the Siamese state hand over enough grain to us every year?" ”

"Enough of them, their millet will be delivered directly to us as soon as it is harvested from the field." Marven replied excitedly.

Gao Junshan said: "You must strictly follow the contract, and you can't overcharge others, and you must also accept less from others." ”

"We have set up a special rent collection committee, which is made up of people from both us and Siam. ”

Gao Junshan said: "Very good. Our lease with Siam is long-lasting, and having such a committee can ensure that the rent collection is carried out for a long time. ”

"Father, where are you going to live during this time? Don't go back to the battleship, right? Marven asked.

Gao Junshan said: "I have Li Hu to arrange the food and accommodation, so don't bother about it." ”

Ma Wen said: "With Li Hu's arrangement, the children can rest assured, they have a lot of power to help this Manchester City!" ”

"Didn't cause you any trouble, did you?"

"How can we be, we all have the same goal." Marven replied.

Gao Junshan came to Marven this time for another purpose, his five godsons are now the lowest level of Marven, and Marven is his favorite one, Ma Jin is already the commander of the American Army, and he has also prepared a position for Marven, this time he came to take Marven away.

"You prepare, I'll let Tian Qiliang take over your mayor's position." Gao Junshan said suddenly.

Marven couldn't help asking, "Father, where will the child go?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Go to the Americas with me, would you like to?" ”

"Where is my Makin?"

Gao Junshan said: "Almost." The Americas need us to develop, and now Makin is on the east coast of the Americas, and we are going to the west coast of the Americas to develop, and you will be the commander-in-chief of this legion. ”

Marven said: "Thank you for your promotion!" ”

……

Gao Junshan has settled in the Manchester City Cao Gang branch, and he has given Tian Qiliang a formal appointment, appointing him as the mayor of Manchester City, and before he leaves Manchester City, the mayor's work must be completed, because he wants to take Marven away.

On June 7, 1658, the fleet was finally ready to depart, and three freighters in this fleet were loaded with Siamese rice, and the fleet of Gao Junshan was going to pass through Shanghai, and this batch of rice was to be transported to Shanghai.

Gao Junshan left Tian Qiliang behind, took Marven with him, and returned to "Jinling No. 1" by speedboat.

The fleet's next destination port is Cam Ranh Bay.

Cam Ranh Bay is now the headquarters of the Huaxia Admiralty, and after the "Wuchang No. 9" incident, Gao Junshan carried out a major reshuffle of the Admiralty, removed Zhou Wenjiang, the Minister of the Navy, and Pan Shiyu, the chief of the General Staff of the Admiralty, sentenced them to death, and appointed his Chongwen disciples to high-ranking positions in the Navy.

The current Minister of the Navy is Li Jiuhua, Li Yuanli is the chief of the General Staff of the Navy Department, and Li Shiqi is the deputy minister of the Navy and director of the Logistics Department of the Navy Department.

After the new team took office, the construction of the navy has made great progress, and the construction of Jinling-class battleships began after they took office, and there are as many as five Jinling-class battleships that can be launched this year.

Gao Junshan's fleet departed from Manchester and headed south again, skirting the Golden Ou Kok and heading north along the long coastline of China, reaching Cam Ranh Bay on 16 June 1658.

It had been four years since Gao Junshan left Cam Ranh Bay, and he still vividly remembered the last time he left Cam Ranh Bay in August 1654.

Cam Ranh Bay is a natural military port, it is surrounded by the two peninsulas of Chongkong Mountain and Phoenix Mountain into a gourd-shaped inner and outer bay, Gao Junshan's fleet slowly sailed into the inner bay, where more than a dozen battleships were moored, these battleships were returned for maintenance after performing their tasks.

The dock has been renovated, and the dock has expanded to accommodate 100,000-ton warships and 15 5,000-ton warships.

Gao Junshan's purpose in coming to Cam Ranh Bay was only to visit his Chongwen disciples, and in addition, to replenish fuel and supplies for the fleet.

The wharf of Cam Ranh Bay has a railway directly leading to the coal mine of Jiaozhi, the coal of Jiaozhi is mainly distributed in the Quang Ninh area, the coal belt is 150 kilometers long, the thickness of the coal seam is 20-28 meters, the area is 220 square kilometers, and the reserves are very large, of which 200 million tons can be mined in the open pit. The Hongji Coal Mine in Quang Ninh is the largest coal mine in the Indochina Peninsula and is rich in high-quality anthracite.

The railway in Cam Ranh Bay is directly connected to the Hongji Coal Mine, and 300 wagons of coal arrive at Cam Ranh Bay every day, so Cam Ranh Bay is also a "gas station" for naval warships.
