After completing its visit to Brazil, the Great White Fleet of the Tang Dynasty continued south to Buenos Aires in the Republic of La Plata. There are more Chinese people in the local area www.biquge.info, so the Great White Fleet is also warmer welcome here. As the largest city in La Plata, Buenos Aires is home to more than 100,000 Chinese people, and it is also the largest Chinese population. Most of the local Chinese have not moved here for a long time, and most of them are engaged in business.

Several Tang sailors who entered the port chatted, and someone said: "This Buenos Aires looks similar to many Tang cities, there are Tang people everywhere." I don't think it's better to change this place to overseas acquisition. ”

The person next to him laughed and said: "Actually, it's not much different from overseas consulates." ”

Someone said: "Maybe after a while, the Chinese here will be like the Chinese immigrants in the United States before, and they will be incorporated into the Tang Dynasty if they hold a referendum." Hahahaha. ”

Although they think so, the Chinese who are actually in La Plata do not necessarily have this will, especially some people who are quite wealthy. Although La Plata is in power by the National Revolution, the overall style is still very different from that of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that most South American countries, even if the National Revolution is in power, are far from the Tang Dynasty in terms of planning. Latin America lacks overall planning and planning for economic development, and relies more on market forces. Government investment is relatively small, and there are not many state-owned enterprises. Local investment in important infrastructure such as electricity, transportation, and communications is actually with the participation of Datang Capital, while other aspects are basically private capital.

Compared with the restrictions on private capital in Datang, in La Plata, where the laws and regulations are not perfect and tend to be liberalized, capital is more likely to derive profits. Assuming that La Plata does become part of the Tang Dynasty, then the capitalists will undoubtedly be subject to more scrutiny, and some shady means can no longer be used.

Many of the members of the Revolution de La Plata also own a lot of assets, and they are also beneficiaries of this model, and they even use their status to make a profit. Some media in Datang criticized La Plata for being a crony capitalist and that the advanced nature of internationalism had been lost.

Even so, for the Chinese, Datang is the guarantee and backing for them to live well here. In La Plata, Hispanics and Indians did not dare to discriminate against the Chinese, and the Chinese were able to enter the government to share power, and some economic opportunities were also able to take advantage. In fact, just like the overseas community of Chinese people in another plane, it will always maintain a relatively independent attribute and care about domestic affairs. And the domination of the Tang Dynasty in this plane makes ordinary Chinese have a sense of belonging.

Moreover, Datang did not have the idea of swallowing La Plata, although it did continue to send Chinese immigrants here, but it was also more for the expansion of Chinese living space. La Plata is one of the few areas in the southern hemisphere that is more suitable for human habitation, and it is necessary to lay out in advance. La Plata was also relatively open to Chinese immigrants, not only did the government have many Chinese in politics, but also the army was a mix of Latins, Indians and Chinese, provided that Spanish was spoken.

Although the relatively wealthy La Plata has a small population, its navy is comparable to that of some second-rate European countries. The La Plata Navy ordered a total of eight cruisers from Datang, with the largest tonnage of 11,000 tons and the smallest of 4,900 tons. La Plata has abundant natural resources and agricultural and animal husbandry output, and has a considerable income after exporting to the Tang Dynasty, and has established some basic industries in recent years, which has developed well and has a rich finance, so it can afford to buy warships. However, as far as the Tang people are concerned, the significance of La Plata's construction of the navy is really not much, the geographical location is remote and there are no enemies, and it is also protected by the Tang Dynasty. If there is a conflict with the Tang Dynasty, of course, no matter how powerful the navy is, it is useless.

After leaving La Plata, the Great White Fleet rounded Cape Horn and crossed the Strait of Magellan from the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific Ocean. In this area, due to the strong westerly drift and the influence of the westerly wind belt, the navigation conditions are relatively harsh, and the sea conditions are often relatively high. The purpose of the Great White Fleet's global voyage is to train in different sea conditions around the world.

Fleet Commander Lin Huansheng informed the entire fleet: "Now the tactical exercises of the red and blue sides will be carried out in accordance with the established exercise plan No. 1046!" ”

Just like the U.S. imperialists, another global policeman, the Datang Navy's Great White Fleet conducted exercises while visiting the world. The Navy has planned more than 100 comprehensive exercise programs and tested hundreds of subjects, and every sailor participating in the voyage is not really traveling around the world, but also shoulders a heavy training task.

This exercise is a red-blue confrontation, and it is also a relatively complex exercise that is relatively close to actual combat. The Great White Fleet was divided into two sides for confrontation, the red side was made up of eight battleships and cruisers, and the blue side was composed of four aircraft carriers. This configuration is obviously very unbalanced, presumably a large surface formation of battleships passing through the Strait of Magellan, and four aircraft carriers acting as interceptors to intercept the large surface fleet. The two sides will play unlimited free battles, and as long as they win, they can use any trick.

It can be said that although the Red Fleet is much larger, it is still at a disadvantage in the face of a huge air group composed of four aircraft carriers. Blue can grasp the situation of the red side and dodge the attack in the safety of the sea, the red side only has a few seaplanes, which can be easily eliminated by the blue team's fighters. In terms of information and intelligence acquisition, the two sides are asymmetrical.

Of course, the blue side also has its disadvantages, with only four aircraft carriers and a few frigates, its own defense capability is relatively poor, and the attack is strong and weak, once the red side catches the blue side, the blue side is basically finished.

Therefore, when the red side passes through the Strait of Magellan, it is divided into several formations, in this case, it is somewhat unrealistic to protect all the ships, so the division of forces makes it easier for most of the ships to survive, and it is also easier to explore the position of the blue side.

After the exercise began, a wave of carrier-based aircraft from the blue side attacked a cruiser formation of the red side, and even though the cruiser's air defense capability was not bad, it was still "bombed" and sunk by dozens of carrier-based aircraft, which was not a surprise. Red can only do its best to send a large number of ships to search for the location of the BLU carrier, but it also has to predict the possible location of the BLU carrier. The key to victory for the blue side is that the hiding must be in place. (To be continued.) )
