Chapter 350: Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong's Emotion...... (Page 1/1)

The Hawaiian Islands were actually formed by volcanic eruptions...... Lieutenant Colonel Fan Jun has done a detailed investigation, and there are a total of 8 large islands and 124 small islands here, stretching for thousands of kilometers, forming a crescent-shaped island chain.

The largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago has 2 active volcanoes.

The climate is mild and pleasant all year round, but precipitation is highly affected by the topography and varies greatly from place to place.

The largest island is covered with vast forests and is obscured by ancient trees...... The natives were powerless to deal with the many large trees, and it was observed that it took them half a year to cut down a hardwood with a stone axe!

The navy of the Federal Empire came here differently, they had to cut wood quickly, on the one hand, to accumulate wood for construction and shipbuilding, ship repair, and on the other hand, charcoal.

Of course, they brought coal and kerosene, but they were reluctant to use them, so it was better to use charcoal.

Temperatures in the Hawaiian Islands vary little throughout the year, with February and March being the coldest months and August and September being the hottest.

Normally, the rainfall is heaviest from October to April, and it can rain at any time.

But the coldest is 256 degrees, and the hottest is 312 degrees.

It is located at the "crossroads" of the Pacific Ocean, and is the maritime transportation hub of the entire Song Dynasty continent and Australia, as well as the north and south Yindi'anzhou, and has an important strategic position.

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Jun led Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong to inspect the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, and both of them did not wear military uniforms, but both wore big pants and vests, slippers, and sunglasses.

They lazily walked on the long stretch of snow-white sand, occasionally glancing at the turquoise sea.

The sound of coconut wind and waves makes it seem that this place is exceptionally quiet.

They all know that there are no inhabitants on this big island for the time being, only workers.

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Jun pointed to a dozen neatly stacked logs not far away.

"I have stored more than 2,000 cubic meters of timber, which is not enough, and we were going to cut it down, but the Admiralty ordered us to stop, saying that it would be delivered from somewhere else, and it is said that our esteemed queen would not allow it...... You may not know that the Admiralty also wants to establish a naval academy here...... And our king openly demanded that a villa be built on the island for several of his political friends and for himself......"

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong was moved after hearing this.

What a good king, he knew that no one wanted to come here, so he took the lead in building a villa here!

There is also Huaxia intimidating the barbarians...... Hawaii is a great name.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong blurted out and said, "After I retire, I will also buy land and build a house here, and I can move my family here!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Jun was very happy, he was not mistaken, this guy is also a person who dares to pay!

Where no one lives, there is never development.

After the villas of the king and the four major political participants are built, and when the navy Taixue is built, this place will definitely prosper!

The prospects are too good......

Eventually, the two of them found a male coconut tree and sat under it...... They have too much experience of living on a tropical island...... To dare to walk indiscriminately under the fruiting coconut tree is definitely an ignorant guts!

Even the natives are counted, and they are smashed to death by coconuts every year.

They sat down and lit their cigarettes.

The extinguished matchstick was not thrown around, but was still put back in the matchbox.

At this time, there was also a "babbling" sound in the coconut grove...... That's the sound of ripe coconuts falling.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong said: "Don't let you cut down hardwood, you can burn coconut charcoal!" ”

"That's all there is to it, although it is not as resistant to burning as hard charcoal...... In the future, the coconut economy will be developed here. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong nodded in approval.

Coconuts are full of treasures.

Coconut linen rope weaving net, coconut meat is dried and oiled, coconut shell can be used to make charcoal...... And the charcoal is the most effective for filtering drinking water.

In the following days, Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong's fleet was repaired, and they even dived and eradicated most of the barnacles under the boat.

Fortunately, the bottom was covered with brass plates, otherwise it would not have lasted for such a long time.

When they departed, Lieutenant Colonel Fan Jun and his men waved goodbye on the docks...... On the huge Pearl Harbor, their numbers were as small as the morning star.

However, it will be fine in the future, and there will be countless big businessmen coming here...... Our great kings and politicians have taken the lead in building villas here, and those people will surely follow one after another.

Isn't a place that even kings like a good place in the world?!

On the return route, Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong had two options.

He could first go straight to the port of Hokkaido, the northernmost seaport belonging to the Federal Empire, next to Japan, and then return to the main island via the main port of Japan.

He knew that the Federal Empire had put a lot of effort into developing the Hokkaido region, which had become a supply base for hardwood and coal over the years.

Perhaps the hardwood and coal resources needed by the Hawaiian Islands will be supplied from there.

The naval base in the port of Hokkaido is moored with more than five five-masted naval warships...... I heard that they had stopped several confrontations between the Korean navy and the Japanese navy.

These two second-class countries pinch each other when they have nothing to do, and they have to compete for the third naval position in the world.

The naval base at the Port of Hokkaido, like the naval base at Jeju Island, plays a role in maintaining peace at sea.

Of course, he can also go directly back to the Badao River Port on the main island.

He thought about it for a while and decided to go back to the island directly...... His transports had precious metals on board, and everyone had been away from home for too long.

His son could only walk on his bed when he left, and now he may be able to run all over the ground, right?

When he thought of this, his heart warmed...... Yes, his hard work is not only for himself, but also for the Federal Empire, and even for the next generation!

New routes, new trade, new resources!

Even if it is not fully utilized now, what about a hundred years from now, two hundred years or even a thousand years from now?!

The navy of the Federal Empire is never alive in the moment...... We're going to fight for tomorrow!

No one in his fleet knew his feelings, and no one knew about the island of Liuqiu, thousands of kilometers away.

His small fleet is now almost inconspicuous to the port of the Eight Rivers.

At the moment when he sighed, the Eight River Ports of the Federal Empire set a new historical record.

Kwok Chi-yan, the Minister of Customs and Commerce, has been fidgeting in his office this evening.

He looked at the magnet phone hanging on the wall for a moment...... The phone, decorated with an ivory handle, never rang.

He stood up for a moment and looked out the window at the street where kerosene gas lamps had just been lit...... There are people coming and going, and no one cares about his anxiety!

He must get a valuable data today to avoid an unexpected and terrible public opinion disaster!
