Chapter 32 Saipan
Chapter XXXII
"Young Master, it's coming soon!" Huo Feng said with a smile as he looked at the harbor that was already in sight.
"Well, I saw it! This port is in good repair, but unfortunately there are no warships yet, so add the last gate to it! I always feel unreliable!" Huo Shan said with some interest.
However, this can only be blamed on him, in this era when capitalism is still in vogue, as long as he is willing to pay for it, in the West, even the latest 'Inferay whitewashing' in the British Navy can buy tens of thousands of tons of ironclads. But every time he thought of the ridiculous sails and ramming horns, and the front-loading rifled guns that took five, ten, or even twenty minutes to fire a shot, he had just puffed up his hope and disappeared without a trace! Up to now, there was not a single steam-ironclad battleship in the navy!
"Yes!" Huo Feng responded, and strongly hoped that the young master would agree to buy a few ironclad ships for his navy! Otherwise, just like the scale of the current navy, it is really a little impossible to raise its head in front of the other army.
Moreover, every time he goes back to Taiwan, Huo Shi will take the opportunity to show off in front of him, and he has the heart to refute it.
Looking at Huo Feng's words, Huo Shan patted his arm in understanding, and said with a smile: "From now on, probably in February and March next year, our first experimental armored ship will be launched for sea trials, I believe that when you see it, you will understand why I don't buy battleships for the navy until now!"
"Yes, Huo Feng understands!"
"Let's go! The dock is here! Shout, there are a lot of people coming!" Huo Shan said with a smile as he looked at the crowded crowd on the shore.
"Yes, there are many teachers and students who are out of class today!" Although the news of Huo Shan's coming over was not announced in advance, there were only a handful of people in the entire Huo Jiajun who could be worthy of him to greet him personally!
As the passenger ship got closer and closer to the pier, the speed of the ship began to slowly decrease! Finally, slowly leaning on the solid pier made of reinforced concrete, as the heavy anchor was lowered, the thick cable was also tied to the shore! Along the lowered slide, Huo Shan stepped on the Saipan island of this world for the first time!
"A few words, it seems that we really didn't guess wrong!" Xu Shoushan, who was crowded in the crowd, looked at him excitedly, and the young man who had just stepped off the bow of the boat said quickly to his companions beside him.
"Yes, but his age is really as young as the legend! I Yan Jidao has rarely been convinced in my life, but this time I am completely convinced, this person is so old, he has far surpassed others' outstanding talent, it is conceivable that when he becomes an adult, he must be a generation master!" Yan Fu sighed and said.
"Instructor!"
"I've seen the instructor!"
"Hello instructor!"
Most of the officers and soldiers here have almost been trained in the secret military base behind Huojia Villa, and it is only because they know how to water that they have been singled out and sent to this small island located in the depths of the Pacific Ocean to undergo rigorous training. The SEALs' special forces are also looking forward to their joining, but it's not too easy!
Over the years, whether it is the navy or the army, there is a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the children adopted by the Huo family since childhood, such as the 5,000-member militia at the beginning, prefer to call him 'young master' in private, and other soldiers recruited later, because he personally taught at the beginning, so they like to call him 'instructor' to show respect!
Smiled and nodded, and after returning the salute, he walked towards the dormitory building of the Naval Academy not far away, under the leadership of Huo Feng!
After leaving the docks, few people knew him.
Because, the aborigines who live here have long been transferred to China, and the people living on the island now, in addition to the families of many naval personnel, are Han people who have immigrated from China!
"Young Master, the house is ready for you!You can go in and rest now!" Huo Feng held the luggage in his hand, turned his head and said with a smile to Huo Shan, who was looking around beside him.
"Hehe, no need, I slept well last night, I'm not too tired, just to visit the beautiful scenery of Saipan!" Huo Shan looked at the depths of the island and said with a yearning expression.
In later generations, this island was a well-known tourist attraction in the Pacific, and most people didn't have money to think about it! Now, this island belongs to him.
When he came here this time, Huo Shan was like a rich man, eager to see his own property, and he was still very excited in his heart.
"Young Master, is this good?" Huo Feng asked a little nervously.
This island is not big, but it is not too small, if the young master encounters any danger here, then he will not be able to atone for his sins!
"Don't worry, with Lei Zi following me, plus ten internal guards, there will be no problem, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of soldiers on this island, do you think I will have an accident here?"
"But young master, you have to promise me that you must come back before dark!" Huo Fengshen looked at him firmly and said.
Seeing his unyielding god, Young Master Huo had to reluctantly agree, after all, he couldn't patronize and play, and let others worry about him!
The two sides reached a compromise and went their separate ways.
With such a big island, Huo Long is not there, and almost all military affairs are on his shoulders! Moreover, he also knows that he lacks professional knowledge of naval operations, so he has been constantly studying on his own during this time! Therefore, his time is very tight!
At this time, Saipan was not as prosperous as in later generations, when the Spaniards were in the past, in addition to having a tax agency set up by the governor of Guam, that is, there was only less than a platoon of Spanish troops, maintaining rule and declaring sovereignty on the island, but such a team was too weak compared to the current Huo family army!
It didn't take much effort for them to occupy this inaccessible island in the Pacific Ocean! Of course, in order to hide the secrets of this island, there are still a few Spaniards who are controlled by the Intelligence Bureau and use the 'Hades' to disguise themselves in front!
Looking at the Chinese-style architecture of Qingyi Sรจ on the island, and walking to Huoshan here, I can't help but feel heartfelt kindness. The people who walked by from time to time around him, and the longing and yearning for a happy life on their faces! Let him feel that his struggle has finally achieved decent results!
As the main island of the Mariana Islands, Saipan is about 19 kilometers long and 9 kilometers wide, close to the equator, and is beautiful all year round!
Thinking about these Young Master Huo, he couldn't help but shake his head regretfully, what he wanted to see most now should be a beautiful beach girl in a bikini, but unfortunately this is not the open twenty-first century!
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, there are times when you get tired of it, not to mention on this small island that has not yet been fully developed! Therefore, Young Master Huo, who was still full of interest at first, soon lost interest in watching it further!
After walking around the island for nearly two hours, he took a large group of people behind him and returned to the Naval Academy, where he had prepared a dormitory.
