Looking at the German immigrants who were waiting anxiously on the boat like a long queue not far away, Huo Zhenglong sighed softly, "Dongyang, how many batches are this?"

"The one hundred and fifty-sixth batch since the economic crisis, the ninth batch this month! What's the matter, do you think that there are more and more Germans immigrating to our Nanyang?" Huo Dongyang put down the documents in his hand, got up and walked out of the captain's room, leaned against the cold steel fence, and looked at the Germans who were boarding the ship in the distance, and couldn't help but ask with a smile. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With the deepening of the world economic crisis, the number of unemployed people and bankrupt enterprises in Germany are increasing, and the Germans, who originally disdained to immigrate to China, have to make changes when the economic crisis has no end in sight! Originally, they had another choice, that is, to immigrate to the United States, but now the Americans are preparing for war with the Chinese, and the land of war is obviously impossible to go, and the American economy is even more serious than Germany! Therefore, looking at the world, it seems that only the East Indies, which is under the control of Huo Jiajun, has a rapidly developing economy and an increasingly prosperous light and heavy industry, is the most suitable choice for immigrants!

Therefore, over the past two years or so, more and more Germans have chosen to emigrate to China, especially after the 'happy life photos' of those relatives and friends who have gone to Nanyang and the long letters describing Nanyang have been sent back to Germany, the Huo Jiajun immigration point, which was originally uncared about, has gradually begun to become hot, and the immigration point that was originally only located in Hamburg has quickly spread to hundreds of large and medium-sized industrial cities in Germany! And the ports that transport migrants have also rapidly expanded to more than a dozen. Almost all the ports in northern Germany! And the migrant ships have changed from more than half a month or even more than a month to almost every three days! Now, more and more Germans are choosing to immigrate to China. Even if you sign a long-term contract for 20 years, you have to leave!

Listening to his companion's words, Huo Zhenglong nodded, as a member of the dark guard, he led his team of twenty members to be responsible for the safety and security of this migrant ship, and beware of the increasingly rampant pirates on the sea after the economic crisis!

In the past two years, more than 50,000 Germans have returned to the South Seas on our ship alone. Coupled with the other migrant ships of the Pacific Shipping, I am afraid that more than a million Germans have been relocated in more than two years!"

"Hehe, to be exact, one hundred and thirty-five thousand two hundred and six people!" is different from Huo Zhenglong. As a member of the Huo family, Huo Dongyang is mainly responsible for the political and economic work of the Huo family, so he knows more than Huo Zhenglong on immigration issues, after all, the number of immigrants every time is declared by the members of Xiangwei!

"Don't underestimate these Germans. They are very popular within our Huo Family Army. Almost as soon as they arrived in Nanyang, they were divided up by those merchants!

Huo Zhenglong understood that what his companion said was indeed true, although in more than two years, there have been millions of white immigrants from Britain, France, Germany and other European countries to Nanyang, but only 25% of them are the talents that Huo Jiajun needs, and most of the rest are their families, although the number of these 25% is close to one million, but in the face of the explosive growth of light and heavy industry in Huo Jiajun, it still does not seem so sufficient!

"Since the Germans are so popular in our Huo family's army. Then why don't you add more ships up there, I don't think there are many Germans who choose to immigrate to our South Seas?" Huo Zhenglong asked.

Although they both belong to the Huo family. But the secret guard is to take into account both intelligence and security, originally the security work is the responsibility of the internal guard, but the internal guard is too short to form a short time, and there are not enough people, so the security work of this immigration ship is responsible for the secret guard, but Huo Zhenglong, as a secret guard armed personnel, is not as good as Huo Dongyang, who is a guard, knows more about the business information inside the Huo family!

After listening to his companion's words, Huo Dongyang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Do you think we don't want to? Now that Pacific Shipping has taken advantage of the economic crisis to buy European ships on a large scale, the total tonnage of ocean-going passenger and cargo ships has reached 5.35 million tons, even surpassing Britain, accounting for more than one-third of the world! Almost all that can be purchased has already been acquired, and the rest are either too old and too slow to have the value of acquisition, or they are controlled by big consortia from various countries and will not be sold to us! So, now we've expanded our fleet to the limit!"

"No, I remember that our major shipyards in the South Seas are not all capable of producing 10,000-ton ships?

"Why haven't you ordered, Kaohsiung Shipyard, Keelung Shipyard and Mogang Shipyard all have orders from us, but their main task is to manufacture warships for the navy, so the number of ships that can be handed over to us every year is limited, and the three shipyards together are only about 80,000 tons!

Now within the Huo Jiajun, immigrants from Europe to the South Seas, from the Qing Dynasty to the Americas, coupled with the explosive growth of the shipping industry because of economic and industrial development, these ships in the Pacific Ocean are simply not enough!

"It's a pity that the top is not allowed to order new ships from Europe, otherwise our Pacific shipping ships don't want to be so tricky now!" Huo Dongyang sighed.

"Of course not, otherwise wouldn't we help these foreign devil countries increase their employment rate and let them slowly get out of the economic crisis? We won't do this kind of stupid thing!" Huo Zhenglong said with a frown.

Although Huo Shan has a large amount of money in his hands and has also placed a large number of orders in various capitalist countries in Europe, almost all the industrial equipment and raw materials purchased from Europe, as well as various industrial manufactured products, are ready-made second-hand goods, and of course, many of them are new products spawned by Huo Jiajun's large orders at the beginning!

As a result, there are not many new orders at all. Therefore, even if the capitalists in various European countries did get a lot of wealth from Huo Jiajun, the number of unemployed people and bankrupt factories in various countries did not decrease at all, but increased rapidly with the deepening of the economic crisis!

Of course, this is also Huo Shan's intention, although the lack of steel, coal and other industrial materials has caused some harm to Huo Jiajun's economic development, but compared to the benefits of plunging European countries into an economic crisis, this loss is insignificant!

"Okay, let's not talk about this! Anyway, we just need to do what the young master instructs!" After seeing that all the German immigrants had already arrived on the merchant ships one after another, and with the help of the crew who were proficient in German, after arranging it, Huo Dongyang patted his companion on the shoulder with a smile and said.

"Well, that's right! Let's go, the ship is about to leave! I'm going to be adrift at sea for nearly two months!"

"Hehe, it's lonely! Do you want me to pick two German girls from this immigration to you, the Huo family's secret guard who earns fifty silver dollars a month is a hard-to-find golden beetle son-in-law in their eyes!"

", what Lao Tzu is looking for is an authentic Han daughter-in-law, not a Yanma!" ......

Talking and laughing, the two walked down the stairs together, and after a while, this ocean-going passenger ship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, accompanied by a huge whistle, slowly left the Hamburg docks! With a group of German immigrants who had left their homeland and longed for a prosperous life, they embarked on an unknown journey!

――――――

Walking down from the carriage, Huo Shan raised his eyes and looked at the huge shipyard not far away, his face showing thoughts, memories, and strong emotion!

In just five years, Keelung City, which was originally only a small fishing port in northern Taiwan, has established a huge industrial system, and the original shipyard and steel factory have also been reorganized into the Taipei Industrial Group, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Huojia Military Administration, and has become a large-scale heavy industry group that includes shipbuilding, steel, steel rolling, coal chemical and many other industries!

"Young Master, there have been too many changes here!" Huo Feng, who got off the carriage after Huo Shan, looked at the vast industrial area with the roar of machines, and also said with emotion.

"Well, yes! I remember when I first came here, Keelung was still a barren beach, without the slightest industrial facilities, like now the industry is prosperous, and even the population has exceeded one million!"

"Hehe, the population exceeded one million, that was the data of a year ago, according to the provincial population growth report released by the Government Council, the current population of Keelung has exceeded 1.5 million, second only to Taipei City!" Huo Feng said.

Taiwan as the base camp of the Huo Jiajun, both the economy and industry are the fastest growing among the regions under the jurisdiction of the Huo Jiajun, the population alone, in five years has exceeded 10 million, and there are three cities with a population of one million, namely Taipei, Keelung and Kaohsiung!

"Oh, how can you, the Minister of the Navy, be so clear about these government affairs!" Huo Shan asked with a smile.

"Hehe, young master, isn't this Keelung Shipyard here? So, I know a little more when I hear it!" Touching the back of his head, Huo Feng smiled.

Hearing this, Huo Shan smiled faintly and didn't continue to ask. Instead, he turned around and greeted Wei Han, Chen Zhaoao, Zheng Qinglian and other masters of the Huo Family Warship Design Institute who had already come over!

"I've seen the young master!"

"Okay, you don't have to be polite, let's hurry up and go to the shipyard to have a look!"

Originally, according to the Admiralty's expansion plan, this class of battleships would be able to be launched for sea trials in '83 years, but the light cruisers, which were more than twice as many as the Mingjiang-class destroyers, were particularly difficult to give birth to because of the application of the new technology invented by the Huo Jiajun. The Portuguese large-tonnage warship was used as a reference, and it also took nearly three years for the Huojia Warship Design Institute and the three major shipyards to build it!

For this new warship that the Huo Jiajun Navy has been looking forward to for a long time and can rapidly increase the combat effectiveness of the Huojia Navy, Huo Shan is also looking forward to it unprecedentedly, so today when it is about to be launched for sea trials, he did not hesitate to put down the work in his hand and did it himself! )
