Since the Kingdom of St. George British broke the deadlock in the naval battle with the Bansey Sultanate five years ago with the use of steam ironclad ships, and once gained the upper hand, the ironclad ships have instantly become famous all over the world.

If it weren't for the Taiping spies lurking in Obaro at that time, who secretly milked the Bansi Sultanate under Hong Tiangui's order, and let those Holy Spirit believers also have the design of the original ironclad ship, maybe the Kingdom of St. George Britain might really become the most powerful maritime overlord on this planet.

Therefore, thanks to the efforts of the Great Compassion Hong Tiangui, the war at the sea of Obarro, which was once broken by St. George's balance, continues to this day even five years later.

It's just that the development of battleship guns today can't keep up with the thickness of the armor of ironclad ships, and it has entered a very embarrassing stage.

Whether it is the Kingdom of St. George or the conventional naval guns of the Bansi Sultanate, the attack on the armor of the ironclad ships is too weak, and often after a naval battle, the ironclad fleets on both sides look scarred, but in fact not a single one has been reduced.

Therefore, although there has been no truce in recent years, large-scale naval conflicts between the two sides have been decreasing day by day, and small-scale naval battles have occasionally occurred.

The technology related to ironclad ships, which are all-steel ships, has been further matured and developed in the war.

For example, St. George's, Bansi Sultanate and other world naval powers, the development of ironclad ships has been extremely rapid, especially in the past two years, it has reached the point where ironclad freighters are not only used in the military, but also in the civilian population.

Our Peace Society, of course, is no exception.

Because of Hong Tiangui's "hanging", in terms of the development of steel ships, it is only higher than these maritime powers, which is also one of the important reasons why the Kingdom of St. George still did not come to the Taiping Society to "settle accounts after the autumn" after the Battle of O'Baro subsided slightly.

In January 1863, the city of Taihua in the Naga region.

The city, once the colonial capital of St. George's Naga, has developed at a rapid pace due to its excellent location and transportation environment.

In the second year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the office of the Taipinghui center was relocated to Taihua City, and the development of Taihua City was even more out of control, and it soon became the new political and industrial center of Taipinghui's power.

Taipinghui's third large-scale waterfront shipyard, Shenzhou Shipyard 3, is located next to the port along the coast of Taihua City.

In the tall dock, a large steam ironclad freighter of more than 6,000 tons is being built by several reserve backbones of the Taiping Society with a group of Chinese workers.

At the top of the huge steel structure of the dock, Li Chuanming, wearing a hard hat and holding a design drawing, was a northerner from Daqing who was abducted from the vast land of Shenzhou to the Amerika Railway when the Taiping Society was still in the incubation period of the Taiping Fortress.

Of course, after living in the sphere of influence of the Taiping Society for so many years, he no longer thinks that he is a person from "Daqing".

"Brother Wang!"

"Look at the big ship in Taihua Port again!"

Li Chuanming, who is often proud of his status as a subordinate of the Taiping Society, holds the handle at the top of the steel structure and skillfully manipulates the huge hook below to hook up a large piece of steel armor.

"Yes!"

"The better my life is here, the more I miss my relatives at home!"

The "Brother Wang" in Li Chuanming's mouth was a young man standing next to him who was a few years older than him.

The young man wore a "hoe ruler" emblem pinned to his chest, which represented his status as an activist and probationary member of the Taiping Society, holding a spirit level in his hand, and intently calibrating the horizontal line of the steel armor spliced below.

In his spare time, he always stands up and looks out at the extremely busy Taihua port in the distance.

Compared with four years ago, the number of wooden merchant ships in the busy port of Taihua has greatly decreased, while the number of steel cargo ships and ships has gradually increased.

Today is the day when a new batch of Daqing immigrants arrived at the port of Taihua.

As a probationary member of the Taiping Society, the organization will give priority to these relatives and friends in Daqing when introducing immigrants from Shenzhou.

"Toot!" "Toot!" "Toot!"

In a loud whistle of the steamer, a flotilla of ten ships flying the flag of the Confederate America and made of steel came through the smoke of steam turbines and sailed into the special harbor for immigrants in Taihua Harbor.

As soon as the young man known as "Brother Wang" heard this, he quickly stood up again, took out a telescope in his arms, stood on the top of the steel structure of the dock, and looked there again.

In order not to affect his work, he even asked the team leader on duty for a short break through the radio on his shoulder.

In the steel fleet, every ironclad ship was enormous.

They are all carefully designed, with more than 1,500 "migrant transport" cabins. Each "immigrant" cabin has an iron fence door, which is 2.5 meters long, 1.8 meters wide and 2.7 meters high, and is equipped with six beds fixed to the wall, as well as a running water pipe and flush toilet.

Under normal circumstances, such a ship would be able to transport 9,000 people from the distant land of Shenzhou to Nagara in Yinzhou.

The reason why "Brother Wang" has such a clear understanding of the data of this kind of steel immigration ship is because this huge steel carrier, which has built more than 50 ships, is itself the work of Comrade Li Guoliang, the chief designer of the Third Shenzhou Shipbuilding Factory where he works.

It is also one of the main products of Shenzhou Shipbuilding No. 3 Factory in recent years, and "Brother Wang" has been carefully studied.

As the ironclad ships specially used for immigrants descended the stairs one by one, a Chinese from Shenzhou, dressed in simple overalls and with anxiety on his face, led his wife and children to the middle.

It seems that the comrades of the Taiping Society on the boat have already let these immigrants know a lot of common knowledge about the Taiping Society in advance.

After getting off the boat, these Chinese did not scatter, but took the family as a unit, and under the leadership of the new immigration guide, they came to the white tents on the edge of the immigration harbor, lined up in a relatively neat line, and walked into these tents one by one.

In the white tent, there are some Taiping medical workers wearing coats and holding various disinfection tools, who are conducting necessary epidemic prevention checks.

"Brother Wang" held the telescope in his hand and carefully scanned the Chinese in Shenzhou who had just disembarked one by one.

looked at it with hope, but in the end, it was disappointed to let go.

"Alas!"

He sighed under his breath.

Li Chuanming, who was beside him, saw his loss and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

Li Chuanming often reads newspapers issued by the Taiping Society about the situation of the vast land in his hometown of Shenzhou.

In the past five years, there have been several large-scale droughts and floods in the Daqing Dynasty of Shenzhou, and the Westernization Movement is in full swing, which is the blood and tears of countless poor people after being raised taxes again.

"Brother Wang's" hometown was the epicenter of the last major drought, and if no trace of the Taiping Society's comrades in charge of immigration had been found, it would have been ······

Right now.

Drip! Drip! Drip!

The wireless walkie-talkie on the shoulder of "Brother Wang" suddenly rang, making him decisively put away his lost look and turn on the walkie-talkie.

"Is it Comrade Wang Ping from Shenchuan No. 3 Factory?"

"I am!"

Wang Ping found that the prompt light on the walkie-talkie flashed red, which was a signal transferred from the brother factory in Taiping Chengsai, Shenzhou Shipbuilding No. 2 Factory.

Thinking that he had some important work affairs, his expression immediately became serious.

"I'm Ren Dongpeng from the Immigration Department of Taiping City, and this time I borrowed the internal wireless communication of your Shenship system."

"I mainly want to tell you that your father Wang Laoshi, mother Li Qiuhua, and sister Wang ······ It has arrived at the port of our Taiping City. ”

"They seem to have made the wrong ship when they changed course in the middle of the course."

"If it's convenient, it depends on whether you have time to pick them up, comrade."

What a bright village!

A huge surprise surged into Wang Ping's heart, making him speak quickly.

"Comrade Ren Dongpeng, thank you so much!"

"I'm convenient, very aspect, I immediately asked for leave to rush over!"

······
