Chapter 109: Conquest of the Americas (5)

The northwest defense line was established, and Ye Tan's first step goal was preliminarily completed.

Fourteen hours later, Ye Tan took a Mi-26 transport plane in the Bay of Alaska, refueled at Sitka Harbor on the way, and then returned to Mu'en Harbor. As for the Whale, it will not return until it is fully loaded.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tan began a busy inspection.

After a few days, the textile and garment factories have begun to produce normally. Bicycles, pencil factories, sewing machine factories, hardware factories, antimony pans, pot knives, pickaxes, steel shovels, light bulbs, sawmills, rubber factory sandals, soles, bicycle tires, pen factories, leather shoe factories and other factories have been put into production one after another. Even a small paper mill was two days away from assembling the equipment. For the sake of sustainable development, Ye Tan made a decision to cut down trees.

In addition, to Ye Tan's surprise, the fishery promoted by his father has caught more than 200 tons of salmon, flatfish, and salmon. It has greatly improved everyone's food.

The progress of the cement plant and the steel mill is somewhat slow, the land has just been leveled, and the foundation is being excavated.

On the islands opposite Digby Island and Port-au-Prince, there are already engineers surveying. The diversion of more than 5 million people is a problem, and Ye Tan plans to build a resettlement area here. Each point will be developed into a small town in the future, and there will be investment in education, investment in infrastructure, and construction of factories. Regulations on the administration of public order should also be compiled. For the design of the military flag, Ye Tan already has a draft.

Therefore, Ye Tan sent a telegram to Deng Zhi. Let the Hawei Fish receive teachers sent from San Francisco, as well as prepare more schools and dormitories.

Received a disaster report of the Hawei fish. As a result of the timely warning, the indigenous people in Honolulu, except for more than 400 people who lived in remote areas, were injured only 58 people. The cement plant was smashed and 3 vertical mills were damaged. It's that half of the wind turbine is broken, so there is a shortage of electricity.

And the agent who fled westward, Deng Zhi and they didn't find it, and it is estimated that he may have gone to yo-ball.

What makes Ye Tan feel relieved is that the crude oil extracted from the Los Angeles oil well has been distilled and processed. The first batch of 10 tons of gasoline and 5 tons of diesel, filled in oil drums with a diameter of 57 centimeters and a height of 87 centimeters, has been transported to the port of Phoenix.

If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and Ye Tan asked Liu Ju to reward Nabenli with 500 eagle gold coins.

The third group of 50,000 soldiers has been picked up from the Yo-Yo to the Damolokai training base to begin the most rigorous military training.

The reason why Ye Tan did not send a 10,000-ton giant ship and showed off his might everywhere was to wait for a year later, the American Civil War.

For this decision, Ye Tan also hesitated. If there is a threat of himself, whether the Civil War can be repeated, Ye Tan can't help but put a big question mark!

Therefore, Ye Tan decided to lay dormant for a year and a half. Ye Tan's heart is too big, and at the same time, he is not a reckless man, and it is a qualified way to solve the United States with four or two thousand pounds.

The construction of the dam on Lake Rennesborlake was very fast, with 10,000 people starting construction from the left and right sides at the same time, and in just a few days, a total of 5 meters wide and 20 meters long were filled. With a length of 400 meters, it is estimated that it will be completed in 20 days.

In the port of Phoenix Harbor, after Ye Tan's improved thermite welding method, many selected engineers began to practice welding 100-ton fishing boats, sand boats, and patrol boats. When the technology is proficient, Ye Tan will let them build a 3,000-ton passenger and cargo ship next.

After staying in Phoenix for two days, Ye Tan began to take a thousand-ton converted wooden ship to Vancouver.

From Phoenix Harbor to Vancouver, more than 810 kilometers.

After a day of sea bumps, Ye Tan finally came to Vancouver.

Ye Tan came here more than 2 months earlier than the British. The timing was just right, though. (In fact, Vancouver was declared part of the British Empire in 1858 and did not actually occupy it, and by November, 25 sappers had landed.) ）

Most of the gold in the Fraser River, which began in May, should have been mined by now.

Fang Jingyuan, who received the news, ran to the dock early in the morning to greet Ye Tan.

"Instructor, we have just arrived, and the placer gold they have mined in the Fraser and Fraser valleys has been seized by the brothers before they can be transported back. There are about more than 20 tons. The guy called the governor, seeing that we were Chinese, thought that we were easy to bully, and brought troops to attack. We didn't even use mortars, grenades and heavy machine guns, and they were beaten to pieces by our brothers with rifles, killing and wounding more than half of them. Even the governor was caught by the brothers. Just yesterday morning at 8:50 a.m., our brigade captured the Old City, taking more than 300 soldiers prisoner, as well as more than 600 Britons. In order to prevent the news from leaking, now the brothers are running all over the mountain in platoons to catch those gold diggers. So far, we've arrested about 20,000 people. Under the watchful eye of their brothers, part of them is cutting wood and planks, leveling the land. The other part, as you say, 23 kilometers to the north, is mined for limestone. More than 30 people fled last night and were shot dead by their brothers. Their bodies lay at the camp gate. ”

In later generations, Ye Tan once came to Victoria City. The limestone mine to the north is the former site of the Portland Cement Factory in the United States, and it is also the famous Butchart Garden in Victoria, which integrates Japanese, Italian and Russian architectural styles, and has a low-lying garden and a rose garden, which the Chinese also call it Treasure Garden. He had a female classmate who immigrated here and bought a villa with an area of 1,208 square meters in the Rose Garden.

It is close to the port, easy to transport, and the cement produced in the future will greatly solve the troubles of leaf sandalwood building materials.

"What is the reaction of the indigenous Sahili, Nutka, Kwakutel here?"

Fang Jingyuan said in astonishment: "Instructor, you are really a god!" Our men have just received word that the British are uniting these native 5,000-odd natives and preparing to attack our camp. I can't figure it out, the same people who occupy their place are so hostile to us. ”

"Fang Jingyuan, let's not discuss this issue first. Let the brothers not be proud and underestimate the enemy! Although we have the advantage of weapons, these natives have the advantage of the territory. Moreover, the poisonous frog blow arrows used by these natives, and the support of the British, we cannot afford to guard against them. ”

Ye Tan said in a stern tone.

"Instructor, you are absolutely assured. The backbone of the grassroots level is trained by your own hands, so you naturally know the severity. ”

Fang Jingyuan said with a solemn face.

"Fang Jingyuan, I see you still haven't understood what I mean. I mean, these natives, we can't deal with them the same way we did with the British. They have been born and raised in this place for thousands of years and have become accustomed to the environment. Therefore, we must pay special attention to the night, or rainy and foggy weather, when the forest does not enter, the poor cannot be chased, to prevent their sneak attack. Even in the water, they can dive down there and attack us. ”

Fang Jingyuan was secretly surprised. If it weren't for Ye Tan's reminder, he really hadn't considered this issue from this aspect.

"The situation here is more complicated than I imagined. There are also a lot of crazy gold diggers, pouring into our territory. Well, I'll send two more brigades from Phoenix to assist you. The brothers of one of the brigades, all disguised as Chinese gold diggers, secretly captured those who broke into our territory. It only takes 19 months for our plan to succeed. ”

Only Ye Tan understood in his heart that these more than 20,000 adventurous gold diggers who didn't even want their lives were not so easy to suppress.

"Thank you, instructor!"

This was the solution to his urgent need. Fang Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly raised his hand and saluted.
