918 Land reclamation

In fact, it's not just a Moon Bay, the current Chagos Archipelago, more than half of the islands already belong to Lan Fang, or are actually controlled by Lan Fang, and the presence of Mauritians here is getting lower and lower, at most in another five or six years, the entire Chagos Islands will become Lan Fang's enclave.

Lan Fang has been very skilled in playing "population replacement", from the very beginning of Corsica to Lan Fang mainland and then to Northern Xinjiang, Lan Fang has successfully reached a simple majority of the Chinese in all territories through "population replacement", once the "population replacement" is completed, it means that the land has become an inseparable part of Lan Fang forever, no matter who wants to split out, it is bound to be strongly suppressed by the Lan Fang government.

There is no doubt about that.

Qin Zhiyuan will never compromise on the rebels.

The same is true of the Chagos Archipelago.

When Qin Zhiyuan first bought Diego Garcia, he spent a lot of money to induce the aborigines on Diego Garcia Island to move away and move to the African continent or the Australian continent, or the South Asian continent, no matter which direction they moved, Qin Zhiyuan was responsible for all the relocation costs.

To tell the truth, in the face of "sugar-coated cannonballs", there were really only a few people who could resist the temptation, and without much effort, all the residents of Diego Garcia Island moved away, and Diego Garcia officially became "Moon Bay".

After moving away the entire population of Moon Bay, Qin Zhiyuan ordered people to bulldoze all the man-made buildings on Moon Bay, and re-built them according to the planning of urban designers.

The extra population was mainly family members of the troops, who were the first residents of Moon Bay.

As the shipping route between Lanfang and Europe became more and more important, so did the inhabitants of Moon Bay, first the soldiers, then the port staff, and then the staff of the shipping companies that traveled between Lanfang and Europe for a long time, and by 1920 there were more than 5,000 inhabitants on Moon Bay.

It is said that even if there are 5,000 people, living on Moon Bay does not seem crowded at all, but Moon Bay is still a pure military base in Qin Zhiyuan's positioning after all, so such a large population definitely needs to be further diverted.

Where to divert?

Chagos Archipelago, of course.

Moon Bay is originally a part of the Chagos Archipelago, the southernmost and largest coral island of the Chagos Archipelago, with a total area of about 2,000 islands and a total area of about 60 square kilometers.

There are 2,000 islands of 60 square kilometers, and the average is about 0.03 square kilometers each.

Many islands cannot be called "islands" at all, and it is more appropriate to describe them as "reefs".

In the entire Chagos Archipelago, there are only about 30 islands suitable for human habitation, and only more than 20 of them are inhabited by humans.

Beginning in 1920, the Lanfang people were like migratory birds that had finally returned to their breeding grounds, and began to expand from Moon Bay to the north to the Chagos Archipelago.

First of all, there are several uninhabited islands and reefs closest to Moon Bay, one of which is only 1.5 square meters in area, that is, there is only one place for people to put their feet down at high tide, even for such a small reef, Lan Fang also paid a price of 1,000 francs.

Looking at this problem from the perspective of the 21st century, this is simply cheap scum, but in the twenties of the twentieth century, this price was the standard "people are stupid and have more money".

By May 1923, when Lan Fang began to prepare to reserve supplies in Moon Bay, more than half of the entire Chagos Archipelago belonged to Lan Fang, which was purchased by Lan Fang through the Mauritian government, of which there were 27 inhabitable islands, accounting for 80 percent of the entire Chagos Archipelago suitable for human habitation.

In order to obtain these islands, Qin Zhiyuan contributed a total of about five million francs.

Compared to the reef with an area of only 1.5 square meters, this price is still very cost-effective.

The reason why the price is so low is because buying in packages counts as a "wholesale act".

If it weren't for the British government's timely stop to the Mauritian government, which had already gotten into the money, the Mauritian government would have sold Mauritius to Lanfang as well.

It's a matter of time!

In the process of Lan Fang's expansion, the islands that Lan Fang obtained were all purchased by Qin Zhiyuan with private funds, that is to say, all the land that Lan Fang obtained in the Chagos Islands is Qin Zhiyuan's private property, strictly speaking, this has nothing to do with the Lan Fang government.

By the time the British government noticed the problem of Moon Bay, the entire Chagos Archipelago had accumulated a heavy pile, and at present, in the entire Chagos Archipelago, counting all the islands, there were about 15,000 Lanfang people, while only a little more than 800 Mauritians remained.

This proportion of the population is absolutely desperate for the British.

In the current Chagos Archipelago, the ruling center of the Lan Fang people is still Moon Bay, and the "Moon Islands" have also become Lan Fang's official title for the Chagos Archipelago, the air combat hero in the world war, Dou Yongyi, who once shot down the "Red Baron", led a battalion of marines, and two air wings responsible for the defense of the entire Moon Islands.

The "Air Wing" is the establishment of Lan Fang after the exercise in the Marshall Islands, and an air wing of Lan Fang is similar in size to that of an air wing of the United States, which can be seen from the current pertinence of the Lan Fang army, considering the performance of Lan Fang's fighters and the ability of Lan Fang's pilots, the combat effectiveness of an Air Wing of Lan Fang completely suppresses that of an American air wing. If you want to quantify it with numbers, it will probably take one and a half American air wings, and in the face of a Lanfang air wing, you can guarantee that you will not be annihilated.

From the beginning of Lan Fang's preparations for war in Moon Bay, Dou Yongyi's work was full of administrative orders, which made Dou Yongyi, who was accustomed to military management, very uncomfortable, for this reason, Dou Yongyi had repeatedly reported to Qin Zhiyuan, asking to send an administrative officer, so that Dou Yongyi could take his energy out of administrative work, organize training wholeheartedly, and adapt to the newly equipped "kangaroo" transport aircraft.

The "Kangaroo" transport plane, the latest type of transport aircraft newly equipped by Lan Fang, can carry 30 heavily armed soldiers and travel 1,500 kilometers long distance.

If only the range is taken into account, and the return is not considered, such a transport aircraft can send two squads of soldiers including their equipment directly from the Gulf of the Moon to the Persian Gulf at once.

This is of great significance to the Lanfang army, it can be said that it was the "kangaroo" that directly gave birth to the airborne troops of Lanfang, and with the kangaroos, the airborne troops can really exert their combat effectiveness.

From the naming of the "Kangaroo" transport aircraft, it seems that some of Qin Zhiyuan's ideas can be reflected, but no one has noticed this idea yet, and even the specific performance of the "Kangaroo" transport aircraft is kept secret for Britain, the United States and France.

For Germany, Lanfang did not keep it a secret, because in the process of developing the "Kangaroo" transport aircraft, German engineers played an important role, and even Nikola Tesla also participated, and it was precisely because of Nikola Tesla's participation that the "Kangaroo" transport aircraft could be finalized as quickly as possible.

Limited to Lanfang's production capacity, Lanfang currently has a total of 20 "Kangaroo" transport aircraft, all of which are now in Moon Bay.

Don't underestimate these 20 transport planes, they can throw 600 soldiers 3,500 kilometers away at a time, and if it is a local battlefield, this is a decisive force that can change the situation of the battlefield and play a key role.

An important task of Dou Yongyi recently is to organize the troops to adapt to the "kangaroo" transport plane, which is an order that Qin Zhiyuan directly gave to Dou Yongyi.

For Dou Yongyi's request, Qin Zhiyuan did not refuse, considering the importance of Moon Bay, Qin Zhiyuan sent Huang Fugui.

Huang Fugui has been in charge of the work of the Republic of China for some time before, and almost all the work related to the Republic of China in Lanfang is in charge of Huang Fugui, and Huang Fugui has thus become a bridge between Lanfang and the Republic of China.

However, since the death of Huang Fugui's adopted son, Huang Fugui has been depressed, even after Huang Fugui adopted two more children, Huang Fugui still couldn't let go, so Huang Fugui asked Qin Zhiyuan to transfer Huang Fugui out of the Republic of China.

Qin Zhiyuan also considered that Huang Fugui needed to relax for a while and leave the environment of the Republic of China temporarily, so he sent Huang Fugui to Moon Bay.

In fact, if you don't consider the geographical location of Moon Bay, just in terms of scenery, the Moon Islands are also a very attractive place.

Aside from the reefs of the Moon Islands, almost all of the islands that are suitable for human habitation have sandy beaches. The beach is absolutely a magical thing, no matter how inhospitable the island, as long as the beach exists, it will become beautiful in no time.

The Indian Ocean climate characteristics on the Moon Islands are obvious, there are floating clouds over the island all year round, but the clouds are not thick, sparse and very meaningful, and the clouds are very low, as if you can reach out and touch, with the beach and sunshine, this is really a good place for leisure.

Another eye-catching selling point of the Moon Islands is diving, the existence of more than 2,000 islands makes the sea depth of the Moon Islands very shallow, the average sea depth is only a few tens of meters, for diving enthusiasts, the natural conditions of Moon Bay are paradise. In addition, the Moon Islands are almost unpolluted, and the water is very transparent, so if a boat is driving in the Moon Islands, you can almost clearly see the various marine fish shuttling among the corals on the bottom of the sea.

However, all this is not very rare in Huang Fugui's eyes, and Huang Fugui has seen a lot of beautiful places in Lanfang, so now that he sees the beauty of the Moon Islands, Huang Fugui has become numb.

After learning about the fact that Moon Bay wanted the Moon Islands to continue to expand and survive because of the lack of space, Huang Fugui immediately said amazingly: "There is no living space? It doesn't matter, we fill in these shallow waters, and instead of persecuting the poor Mauritians, we reclaim the land. ”

Reclamation of land -

That's a big deal!
