On the main island of the Nameless Islands, Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong held a solemn ceremony and officially raised the bronze banner of the Federal Empire on the island.

He announced that the group of islands was called the Lucky Island Group, and this main island was naturally called Lucky Island.

They did not bring musical instruments and did not wear military uniforms...... However, throughout the process, everyone has a great sense of honor.

This is the new frontier opened up by the Imperial Navy for the Federal Empire!

It's a little smaller, but it's in a great location...... Who knows what role it will play in the future?!

As soon as the flag of the Confederate Empire was raised on the island, it was hunted in the sea breeze.

Everyone began to sing the national anthem, and the singing went straight to the night ...... This is the first time that human voices have appeared on this island!

There are many seabirds hovering in the sky, and they may have never seen a person, so they are not afraid, but just strange spectators in the sky.

Of course, they can't understand why they are so excited, and they can't understand the feelings of human beings to expand their territory.

Next, everyone worked together to build a four-mouthed reservoir with cement and bricks on the transport ship, and then built a simple flood-type dam on the small river to raise the water level of the small river.

They built a row of plank houses on the leeward side of the hill...... This was reserved for the soldiers of the squad that was about to be stationed.

They built a simple and reliable jetty on Lucky Island with both cement and felled trees, and left them two lifeboats for them to paddle around the island and catch catches.

They reclaimed more than a dozen acres of land and helped the garrison plant corn and potatoes.

They also left behind a few piglets, lambs and calves, and four horses...... In fact, this is all prepared in advance.

If a freshwater supply depot is built on Liberty Island, it will have to be garrisoned...... There is no way to transport the supplies needed here from time to time, so it must be made self-reliant.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong also left them a sufficient number of tools for labor, and enough grain to eat before the new crops were ripe.

They stayed on the island for a total of ten days, and 400 of them lived in tents, and they were busy from morning to night, not only to concentrate on the development and construction of the mentioned, but also to lay down many seabirds and collect a lot of eggs...... Except for the ones left for the garrison to eat, there was enough left for them to try it out on the rest of the voyage.

At the same time, they also catch a lot of marine fish...... When fishing, it is almost as easy as if the fish were actively burrowing into the nets.

They left enough fishing gear for the garrison and helped them dry the dried fish...... The reef around the simple pier is a natural drying ground.

Finally, Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong asked the squad leader who stayed behind to have any other requirements.

The squad leader whispered to his soldiers and said that they wanted to find a stone wall on the island to engrave their names...... Let the people here remember them in the future.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong directly agreed, allowing them to engrave their names in the name of the Imperial Navy.

He concluded, "In three years, someone will replace you...... Your life will certainly be more lonely and difficult than ours, but, you must think that in just three years, you will build a new route for the citizens of the Federal Empire...... God knows how our descendants will thank our Imperial Navy! ”

The squad leader in charge of the garrison nodded in agreement with tears in his eyes, and said, "Three years, not long...... Next year, there will definitely be brothers from the Imperial Navy passing through here! ”

That's for sure!

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong saluted them.

"The Empire is with us!"

They immediately returned the salute and shouted, "The Empire is with us!" ”

The salute and the slogans made everyone so excited that they could not say anything comforting.

In the end, they broke up, and most of them withdrew to the fleet, leaving only those who were stationed.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong didn't look back until he was far away from Lucky Island...... He knew the soldiers would always stand there at the dock watching them leave.

How would you feel if you were the class leader?!

He was reluctant to answer the question.

After leaving Lucky Island, they quickly headed towards the mouth of the Buyi River on the east coast of Nan Yin Di Anzhou!

Along the way, they put away their slightly lazy mentality...... And the navy brothers who are living a far more boring and lonely life than they are!

Over time, they became more proficient in sailing and surveying.

As a result, after just forty days they reached the mouth of the Buyi River.

If it weren't for the exact coordinates on the chart, they wouldn't have believed that the huge bay in front of them was just a river bay!

To their surprise, they even received a signal from a spark wireless telegraphy!

That's not the connection between the four of them!

Due to their tonnage, the three-masted naval warships were equipped with only ore receivers, and they were the deepest ships in the estuary...... They used the flag to indicate that a new radio signal had been received!

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong immediately ordered his fleet to keep the radio silent, and as a result, he also received a signal, which seemed to be talking about the arrangement of pursuing the natives!

Only the Imperial army has spark wireless telegraphy in this world, so could it be that they are in trouble?!

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong's five-masted warship cautiously approached the Buyi estuary area according to the depth measured by the three-masted warship, and then ordered the receiver and telegrapher to rush directly to the land to send the message...... Even if it interferes with their transmission, it can be regarded as a kind of warning that they have the Empire's army coming.

Sure enough, after discovering that their transmission signal was jammed on land, they immediately stopped the transmission...... Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong immediately used this window time to ask the dispatcher to send out the information of the arrival of the Imperial Navy and report the latitude and longitude of the station.

Then they began to remain silent and wait patiently for each other's reply.

Haha, five minutes later, the other party replied to the message, they were indeed the army of the empire!

At this time, they were stationed in the upper reaches of the mouth of the Buyi River, and they were only about fifteen kilometers away from Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong!

They may just be the first fleet to cross the ocean to reach here...... Their army brothers on the west coast of South Yindian came here first.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong immediately took a traffic boat to the three-masted warship and ordered the other ships to stay where they were for the time being, while the three-masted warship went up from the mouth of the river first.

In the process, the three-masted warship took advantage of the sea breeze to draw zigzags upstream, and it took them four hours to finally see a riverbank pier and see three three-masted ships staying there.

In Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong's binoculars, someone on the dock had already begun to wave to them.

Those who beckoned were army brothers in green uniforms!

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong's eyes moistened, and for the first time, he felt that he would be so excited to see army personnel.

In the Imperial Army, the Navy was originally a little unkind to the Army...... But now, he has the feeling of seeing his loved ones!
