Chapter 137: The Hawaiian Fleet

The topic of Li Jingshu is very heavy, but he has to face it. If they learn that Hawaii is actually under the control of the Qing people, then the war will really not be far away.

"It's very suitable for growing rice, you can grow it three seasons a year, and there is a lot of fertile land on the islands here, so it's not a problem to be self-sufficient in food, the only problem is that you have to migrate here in large numbers, preferably a million!" Shucai believes that the country has a large population, and there are poor people who do not have land, and as long as the land here is planted for free, it is still very easy to attract immigrants.

As soon as Shucai said this, Li Jingshu understood that she did not understand the situation in China, and now the country has begun to reform in an all-round way, and after the nationalization of land, the land will be divided equally among villages, so it can be said that as long as the land defense of new villages is either a large amount of land, or there are factories and enterprises, or the seaside relies on the development of fisheries, the method of using land to attract immigrants is no longer feasible.

Li Jingshu told everyone about the situation in China, and now a huge development plan has been planned in China. After the census, the population of the Qing Dynasty was only 320 million, 30 million less than originally estimated.

At present, there are many places in the country that need to solve the population, and the population of the four provinces in Greater Gansu is only more than 5 million.

After the completion of the construction of the three major water conservancy projects in Gansu, several new cities will become fertile land with water and grass, and where will become the center of animal husbandry and breeding in the country, so according to the plan, the new Gansu needs to resettle 5 million to 10 million people.

Plateau Province, formerly the capital of Tibet, completed the Great Plateau Project within two years and emigrated about 5 million people to the current Bay of Bengal and other areas.

Western Han Province, the former Xinjiang and the vast area west and north of Xinjiang, have now been laid down by Duan Haitao's first brigade. Because the mob was instigated by Tsarist Russia, there were often rebellions, and in July, the mob launched a big riot and killed more than 200,000 Han people, Chen Ping directly implemented the three-light policy there, burning, robbing, and killing all of them, and now the population of the entire Western Han Province has not survived, and more than 20 million people must emigrate there according to the plan.

"Wow! The followers are so powerful!" Alice looked at Shucai with admiration, and secretly thought in her heart that only such a person can make the president follow willingly, and only such a person is qualified to marry the president.

Followers? Liu Tongguang and Li Jingshu were a little confused and didn't understand what it meant. Alice was also surprised, it was working time, and her president was not a human being when he was working, he was more terrible than the devil! Covering his mouth, he looked at Shucai pitifully, and the words of apology in his eyes were estimated to have been hundreds of times.

Shucai glanced at her, did not blame, but sighed and said: "I thought I was doing well enough in the United States, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't compare to him!" ”

"The situation in the country is not very good, Hengde's idea is to control the Qing country by gentle means, he doesn't want to see the people suffer, but" Li Jingshu shook his head and sighed and said: "So here we must plan in detail and meticulously, Hengde on the one hand uses this as a surprise soldier, on the other hand, it is also used as a retreat." So when I came, he asked me to convey that it was very important for Hawaii to be self-sufficient, and that it had to be able to feed a large army. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Tongguang knew that it was time for him to speak, so he saluted and stood up and said: "The commander-in-chief has asked for the secret establishment of a huge Hawaiian fleet, with a total tonnage of no less than 300,000 tons. The second is to set up an army of 20,000 men, including a 3,000-man coastal defense artillery force, which must be fully capable of defending the islands. At that time, I will be the commander of the Hawaii Army and Navy with the rank of rear admiral. ”

"Secret? How can you be a secret with such a big scale? Li Jingshu's doubts are not at all, it is too difficult to achieve secrecy on such a large scale.

"As long as this goes according to plan, there should be no problem in a short period of time, we only need to develop in secret for five to seven years, and we don't need to keep it secret. All the military personnel were secretly recruited by the Ghost Society a year ago, and they will soon be sent to Hawaii, so I ask that the location of the warship base and the army base be started as soon as possible. Liu Tongguang said.

Shucai weighed Liu Tongguang's request, and felt that this was not a big problem, there were many islands in Hawaii, and it was not a problem to hide an army, "Tongguang, do you have a suitable place?" ”

"Yes!" Liu Tongguang has been in Hawaii for a short time, and he has already selected a secret base for a fleet, and has already begun to build it with troops. A fan-shaped island thirteen kilometers away from Honolulu City, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, and sheltered by high mountains, even if there is a fleet of ships passing by outside, you can't see what is inside the port, it can be said to be very hidden.

He took out a map and gave a detailed explanation, and asked for a no-entry zone within five kilometers of the military port, but the army base was on the island of Hawaii, far from the city of Honolulu.

"Tongguang, do you have any requirements?" This is the base that Li Yi attaches great importance to, and it is also a retreat left by him, Shucai also had to be cautious and decided to give Liu Tongguang the greatest support.

"In order to keep the military construction of Hawaii confidential, our military is fully responsible, and outsiders are not allowed to participate in the construction, even the materials used need to be shipped from our country, and they are not allowed to be imported from the United States. In addition, the construction funds of our army are separate, and do not occupy the funds of your municipal construction. ”

"We're going to fully implement paper money in Hawaii, maybe you can't use silver dollars?" Li Jingshu told another secret plan.

"Mayor Li can rest assured that the salaries of our Hawaiian officers and soldiers are also made in paper money, and we will deposit the funds that cannot be used into your bank to support your urban construction." Liu Tongguang said with a smile.

"In this case, then we at Sihai Group will make every effort to build Hawaii Island, and we will find farmers who grow rice from the United States, and there will be many poor people who are willing to come here, and population will not be a problem."

Shucai is also a resolute woman, and the decisions are still very fast, which fully illustrates the efficient operation within the Sihai Group.

After three years of technology accumulation in the Los Angeles shipyard in the United States, it can be said that it is the most technologically advanced shipyard in the world, which concentrates the technology manufactured by Britain, Germany, the United States and Austria, and the Hawaii shipyard also has two hidden major secret technologies, all-welded mature technology, and diesel-fuel internal combustion engine technology.

Under the premise of the same displacement, the ship built by the new technology is lighter by a quarter, the overall strength is 1.5 times higher, the speed of the 10,000-ton giant ship can reach 28 knots, and the cruising range of diesel fuel is more than five times higher than that of coal fuel.

After all-out development, in 1894 Hawaii built a huge fleet with a displacement of nearly 700,000 tons, including 10 ocean-class giant ships with a displacement of 15,000 tons, 12 sea-class giant ships with a displacement of 10,000 tons, 20 Lake-class ships with a displacement of 6,000 tons, 30 river-class ships with a displacement of 3,000 tons, hundreds of torpedo boats, 5 10,000-ton supply ships, and 30 5,000-ton supply ships. It became the fourth fleet power after Britain, France and Germany.
