Chapter 180: Under the First Overseas Base

In this soon-to-be-established place, named by Wang Gang as the town of Wahu, the empire will leave a small number of troops to establish a simple military system, and all the Bosnian natives will be forcibly disarmed from contact and all will be converted to life occupations and farmers!

In the future planning of Wahu Town, it is to provide the necessary food and grass supplies for the Oahu Naval Base of the Han Empire, which is being established, and in the rich Oahu, even if these Bosnian natives are not highly motivated, it is enough to grow abundant food!

The climate of the Hawaiian Islands is really good, with room temperature all year round, abundant water resources, and fertile land, so there is no pressure to be a food production base, let alone just self-sufficient?

As for the tens of thousands of young and strong slaves, most of them were captured in battle, and there were also the warriors of the Bosnians, and in order to prevent accidents, Mondora found some lame reasons and arrested all the Bosnian warriors who dared to fight, whether they surrendered or not!

With sufficient manpower, a base comparable to the large port of San Francisco in the Han Empire began to be built, because there was no need to build ships, so there was no need to repair the dock, as long as the Oahu base could repair ships!

Wang Gang looked at the construction site in full swing on the beach of Oahu and felt that his losses in the past few months had not been in vain!

Colonization is a time-consuming task, and the Han Empire could not have crossed the ocean with a single army to launch a war!

No matter how weak the landed country is, the logistics necessary for the landing army are enough to drag down this rootless army!

Grain and grass can be supplied on the spot, what about gunpowder and projectiles?

If the invaded country had well-established production workshops for the production of gunpowder and projectiles, how could it be crushed by a thin expeditionary force in one blow?!

Therefore, no matter whether the landing country is strong or weak, it is necessary to set up supply points and bases along the way!

In Zhao Dutian's previous life, the Opium War launched by the British Empire against the Qing Empire was also carried out after conquering India and Southeast Asia.

Just the back and forth transportation of supplies can make the British Empire cry to death!

Of course, if the colonies of the British Empire were not as close to the Qing Empire, they would not be able to do anything against the Qing Empire!

Just like now, if the European powers pull out any one, the army can beat the Qing Empire, however, no European power dares to really offend the Qing Empire, because the European powers know very well that once the Qing Empire is angry, they can easily block their trade in the East, and no matter how much their land forces can fight, they can only watch the Qing Empire thousands of miles away and swallow the bitter fruit......

Do Europeans really not know how backward the Qing Empire and the closed Japanese shogunate were, how backward the army was, and how corrupt the government was?

It's a pity that no matter how weak the enemy is, the European powers of this era don't have long enough claws to stretch out......

Besides, they have to watch out for their neighbors!

The European powers all know the truth, Zhao Dutian naturally understands, he has never fantasized about landing directly in the Qing Empire with a large army from beginning to end, and then making up an identity of a fool, saying that he is a descendant of the Great Song Dynasty royal family, and he established an army overseas to kill him......

Don't say it, the surname of the Great Song royal family and Zhao Dutian met the blind cat who killed the mouse......

Of course, even if you don't bump into it, when it really comes to need, there is a way, and the most important thing is whether you have that strength!

Obviously, Zhao Dutian, who was far away from the Qing Empire, like the European powers, could only stare dryly......

However, the difficulty of long distance does not mean that there is no solution, don't you see, the European powers are expanding their colonies while infighting, and they are having fun?

This mentality of pinching with neighbors while looking at the outside world may be the reason why white Europeans are the latecomers......

I have to say that comfort makes people backward, and war makes people strong, and this truth is still very indignant......

The ancient country of the East from a group of barbarians to the Central Plains, after the establishment of the Qing Empire, the force and technology tree, almost all closed, in front of a group of scum around him weaker than himself, he thought that he was invincible in the world, did not want to forge ahead, and dreamed of the great power of the Celestial Empire, until the two opium wars woke up the dream of the Qing Empire with a hammer, and only belatedly opened his confused eyes, wanting to learn the power of outsiders, but unfortunately, the perennial napping and the basis of foreign rule made this great nation, The road to catching up is full of difficulties and bumps. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It wasn't until he was stabbed with blood by various powers that he finally knocked down the alien cage on his head, and as a result, he looked around and found that he was one step behind and one step behind, not to mention, China at that time was more than one step behind......

In World War II, in the European and Asian theaters, in addition to naval battles, it was basically a war at the level of two civilizations, and the Japanese army, which had won successive battles in the Asian theater, actually did not even reach the level of the first war of the European powers......

Only the few ships of the navy that tightened their belts could make the European powers look at it squarely, but as a result, as soon as the European battlefield ended, the Asian theater was scattered with the wind, and when the real strength of the European army set foot on the Asian continent, the Japanese army did not even have the strength to block it......

The simplest example is that it took more than three months for the Japanese to occupy one of the three eastern provinces where the main forces of the Northeast Army had retreated, while the Soviets, on the other hand, defeated the Kwantung Army and recovered the three eastern provinces in just over a week......

This comparison is really laughable, the Kwantung Army is known as the most elite unit of the Japanese......

In this life, Zhao Dutian will never allow this to happen, so as soon as the situation in North America eases down, Zhao Dutian put all his attention into the expeditionary fleet, during the construction of the Oahu base of the First Expeditionary Fleet, the empire itself was not idle, a large number of logistics materials were transported to the port of San Francisco, and the Honor of America Independent Regiment in Flax was also busy training soldiers to resist seasickness......

Naturally, the Empire will not be sloppy with the ammunition supply requested by the First Expeditionary Fleet!

Zhao Dutian did not give any rebuke to the expeditionary fleet's one-year delay in consolidating on Oahu, because he wanted too much! (To be continued.) )
