Chapter 1513: The Arrival of Immigrants
A group of fleets, divided into different groups, and then left the waters of Japan, the huge fleet, compared to the vast Pacific Ocean, can not be compared at all, fortunately, this way, is a familiar route, each group, will arrange an old captain who has walked this distance, relatively speaking, it is relatively stable.

Behind the scenes, China has made a lot of efforts, a one-time crossing of 3 million people, for China, is also a new challenge, and even when just received a report from Japan, the Chinese side of the high-level will be quite surprised, this is unimaginable Pacific crossing, even China in the limit, did not transport so many at one time, in order to send so many people over smoothly and safely, this requires many preparations.
Fortunately, from Japan to Alaska, a series of island chains, China sent some fast merchant ships, prepared some supplies on it, especially some more medicines, in case of unnecessary losses, in the eyes of the Japanese high-level, the Japanese are not valuable, but China still hopes that Japan's strength is stronger, in terms of population, Japan and the United States, do not occupy an advantage, if they can not increase Japan's strength to a certain extent, maybe, they will be defeated by the Americans.
Just like the current support for Germany, China really has a good impression of Germany, that is really not a lot, and Germany is united, but in the interests, yes, the higher the status, the greater the responsibility, the current Yang Yuanzhao, it is unlikely that because of personal likes and dislikes to determine the future development, as far as the heart is concerned, he is not willing to give Japan a chance, but Japan at the most appropriate time, made the most correct choice, Yang Yuanzhao's status, of course, can refuse this choice, let Japan pay the price, but in the end, It was the reality and interests that convinced him, and even in his opinion, he completely changed the history of Japan, turning Japan from an Asian country into a country across the Americas, which is not necessarily a good thing for Japan.
North America has changed from the dominance of the United States to Japan's involvement, and Japan's strength is not a little worse than that of the United States, but Alaska's geographical advantages, coupled with China's support of maritime power, can really compete with the United States in North America, and if Japan meets this requirement, it is acceptable to support them.
The Japanese high-level casually threw 3 million people over, but China attached great importance to it, and the Pacific islands that it was already building were advanced and prepared on the islands, and a large number of tactical dry rations for individual soldiers, as well as field meal kits, were sent to various islands, and even some hospitals and doctors were dispatched, which can be regarded as building these islands in advance.
In addition to the necessary preparations, in the voyage, adjustments have also been made, the speed has also been improved, it turns out, the fleet is ready to use the economic speed, according to the economic speed of 12 knots per hour, 12 hours a day is about 250 kilometers, so that more than 5000 nautical miles of voyage, plus the time that will stay or delay in the middle, almost 30 days to arrive, which is also relatively normal.
But this time, the speed of the fleet has increased to 15 knots, don't look at the speed of 3 knots, 12 hours a day, it can increase by more than 60 kilometers, which almost makes the time to Alaska, saving one-fifth, the most important thing is that through precise control, the daily sailing time has also increased by 2 hours, which is also recommended by the early departure team, they found in the early voyage that the Japanese crowded the cabin too much, for the personnel on board, the small space, Even with the addition of some ventilation equipment, they can not move outside, can only live in a small room, in this case, every day in addition to sleeping or sleeping, when docking at night, a little more time, not too obvious, than slowly drifting on the sea, it is better to arrive in advance, so that they can adapt to the environment.
In this way, there are as little as 350 kilometers and as much as 400 kilometers, and there is no group, but divided into small teams, and the places where each team stops are mostly different, so as to reduce the pain of reception, such a hard trek, on the 15th day, came into contact with the larger islands of the Aleutian Islands, China and Japan, on the island issue, have not reached a consensus, but several larger islands such as Unarasca, Japan has begun the preliminary construction, but the result of this construction, In the end, it will still have to be handed over to China, and at most China will compensate.
Even if China has made all kinds of arrangements, in this voyage of more than 15 days, among the 3 million people in Japan, more than 800 people still died, and nearly 10,000 people were infected, and these people could not continue, fortunately, it was already very close, leaving more than 70,000 people on Unaralaca Island, including nearly 10,000 infected people and some old, weak, sick and disabled, and the rest continued to set off, and finally after 5 days, it took only 20 days to cross the Pacific Ocean and send more than 3 million people to Alaska. Before that, China's materials and construction teams have already arrived, and Alaska, which is in ruins, will usher in a new round of construction climax.
Of the 3 million people, only 800 people died, and nearly 10,000 people were infected, which is a huge number for absolute numbers, but if the denominator of this number is 3 million, this is really not big.
The Japanese do not have an exact understanding of ocean voyages, they are eager to immigrate enough people in a short period of time, and even in a certain sense, this mortality rate is controlled below 3%, which is enough for them to gamble, not to mention that there are only 800 people, and nearly 10,000 people who are infected will receive better treatment under China's medical conditions.
The first batch of immigrants, did not expect, they at the right time, enjoy the medical conditions of China, especially on Unarasca Island, as the first identified strategic island of China in the Aleutian Islands, the construction work has already begun, the wharf is currently under construction, the first batch of 110 houses have also been built, including a large hospital, China directly transferred a comprehensive hospital of the navy, all personnel are well-trained active duty soldiers, While the merchant fleet had simply stopped here, they welcomed their first patients.
These patients are all weak in the body, on the ship, in the harsh environment, the final cause of the lesions, in fact, on the ship, has been treated, after all, this is an immigration, or a Chinese-led immigration, not like the smuggling of black slaves hundreds of years ago, it is really a very high mortality rate, dead is dead. The merchant ship itself is relatively spacious, the ventilation conditions are good, the diet is also quite in place, once there is danger, there will be medicine and even doctors, the 800 who died, basically are all acute diseases, rapid changes, there is no chance of saving, these are still sick on Unararakaska Island, they are all chronic, in the hospital drip, and then recuperate for a while, you can be cured.
The entire Aleutian Islands, because China is going to go for most of the reason, the Japanese did not stay here too much, almost put down 200,000, this part is not settled on these islands, the Japanese are not unaware, the important role of the Aleutian Islands, but after the dismemberment of the navy, Japan basically has no ability to control the islands, besides, Japan itself is an island country, and it is enough to stay on the islands, or Alaska, the remaining 2.8 million, basically all on the Alaska mainland, Next, It's how to build a city so that these landed Japanese can survive in Alaska.
Japan did not board Alaska, will not know, Alaska has such a superior environment, but after the real landing in Alaska, especially in the summer, Alaska's beautiful scenery, let him be fascinated, this is a treasure land, even if the United States does not have a larger scale of development, Alaska has Japan's coveted resources, Japan sent experts, for the initial exploration of minerals, found a lot of minerals, these are absolutely not seen in Japan. And all of them are occupied, themselves, this year is ready to immigrate about 8 million, Japan is ready to go up 15 million, which is equivalent to twice as much.
In a sense, Japan represents a minion of China in the Americas, and this minion cannot act quickly, so I am sorry for the huge investment, the huge fleet, every day of stationing, the investment is huge, although Japan has paid, but if Japan dies too much this winter, it is not appropriate.
In the process of industrialization, China understands the important role of manpower, how to play the role of each person, these people reach a joint force, in order to create miracles again and again, Japan has made a choice, ready to immigrate 15 million this year, this part of the people, of course, can not do the simplest work, the construction of a modern region, even if it is tens of millions of people, engaged in simple work is not possible, what China has to do, is to give full play to the initiative of this part, only in this way, can be in a short period of time, Let Japan have a strong foundation in North America, war is never decided by one or two battles, this requires a long confrontation, and the fight is all about the economy, steel, and materials.
China can help Japan support such a war, whether it is the merchant fleet, or China's huge production capacity, but in this way, there is no need for this, Alaska is also a resource-rich place, if China wants it, it would be good to take it down by itself, why bother to cheap Japan, besides, if Alaska itself has a part of its output, it will also greatly save costs, after all, 5000 kilometers of voyage, this freight is not cheap.
However, now it is said that those industrial layouts and industrial construction aspects are all long-term prospects, first to settle people, crossing the 5,000-kilometer ocean, but the foundation, and next, to settle people well, at least to survive. (To be continued.) )
