E: I'm sorry, I had something yesterday, but now I'm making up for it, asking for votes, asking for support

February 15, Republic 254 (1913), East China Sea.

On the turquoise sea, a fleet of more than a dozen cargo ships is heading in the direction of the Ryukyus. In front of them, a small ship that served as a convoy

On the bridge of the destroyer Jiujiang, Li Ang was holding a telescope to look at the sea, and at this time, a green shade had appeared in the distance where the sky and the sea met.

"It's about an hour away, I wonder if the Ryukyus are ready?" Leon muttered to himself.

At this time, a staff officer came over and asked, "Captain, are you going to build a base in the Ryukyus this time?"

Leon replied, "It's not a preparation, it's already decided." The cargo ships behind us are the ...... that transport the pre-construction materials."

"Oh, I've heard it's a big base. The staff officer said.

"Yes, it is a very large base, requiring a port that can berth a large fleet, as well as a maintenance dock of more than 30,000 tons, and quite a lot of supporting facilities. This is the forward base from which we will face the Pacific Ocean in the future. We are going to build three new large bases in the next few years, and the Ryukyu base is just one of them, the Single-crown Bay base in the Kuril Islands in the north, and the Truk base in the south. It will serve as a forward base for the North Pacific, the Central Pacific, and the South Pacific,......" said Leon with a smile.

"Truk Islands, that's a nice place, a natural harbor. The island over there forms a natural lake, with an area of more than 26 square kilometers, and it is no problem to put all the ships of our navy in it. Another staff officer also said with a smile

The forward base in the Pacific was planned after the purchase of the German Pacific colonies. Originally, Wendeji planned to establish a base in the Truk Islands. The Truk Islands are located in the eastern part of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean and were part of the Federated States of Micronesia in later generations. It was originally a Spanish colony, and in 186 the Spaniards sold the entire Caroline Islands, including the Truk Islands, to Germany for 25 million pesetas to raise funds for the Spanish-American War, and then to China in 192 in the Sino-German Secret Treaty.

The Truk archipelago is made up of 14 towering volcanic islands, each of which is surrounded by coral reefs and lakes. In particular, the largest main island, Truk Island, is triangular in shape, more than 6 kilometers long on each side, and in the middle is a lake with a diameter of more than 6 kilometers.

Strategically located at the throat of the South Pacific, it is known as the "Gibraltar of the Pacific". During World War II, it was called "Japan's Pearl Harbor" and was the most important link in the chain of Japan's so-called "absolute defense circle". In the history of the original time and space, China had no chance to get here, so naturally it had to not mention it. But now that feng shui is in turn and you get here, you naturally have to make full use of it.

Another base in the North Pacific is also very important, Singlecrown Bay is located in the middle of the largest island in the Kuril Islands, the island of Zedao. The width of the bay is about 10 kilometers, facing the Pacific Ocean, and it spreads out in a southeasterly direction. It is strategically located and has extremely important military-strategic value. Single-crown Bay is a secluded and natural deep-water harbor where large fleets can hide. When the Pacific War broke out in the original time and space, the First Mobile Fleet led by Nagumo Tadaichi, the general of the Japanese Combined Fleet, assembled in this bay and went to attack Pearl Harbor.

On top of that, Single Crown Bay is a well-known ice-free port in the North Pacific, known for not freezing the sea during the winter months. This alone has exploded many northern ports, and even if Vladivostok is recovered in the future, it will still be a very important military base, because Vladivostok will be frozen. In the "future" of the original time and space, after Russia occupied this place, they built a large sea and air base here, and they called it Orca Bay.

As for the Ryukyus, where Leon is now headed, not to mention, the entire Ryukyu Island is full of US military bases, which shows the importance of this place. If it is in the hands of the enemy, this is the first island chain stuck in China's neck, but if it is in the hands of China, then this is an advance base that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

However, it is still a bit early, except for the traverser of Wen Desi, at least the vast majority of the natives of the original plane, they have not seen the importance of these positions. So even if these construction projects are open (in fact, it is impossible to hide such large-scale infrastructure projects), the international community is indifferent to them. In other words, there are too many things that they are concerned about now, and there will be an explosion on the European side, so where can they still be in the mood to care about a few small islands on the Asian side? It's just that China, a mob, is building a base on a few newly acquired colonies, which is also a very normal thing, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. It would be strange if there was no base.

After the Ryukyu Islands were incorporated into China, they were established as Ryukyu City and belonged to Taiwan Province. Ryukyu City is divided into three districts, the "ward" is Naha Ward, also known as Shichu Ward, located at the southern tip of the main island of Ryukyu, with an area of about 197 square kilometers.

The three prefectures from north to south are: Amami Prefecture, including the Amami Islands (area 24o. 2 square kilometers) and Qucao Islands (formerly known as the Tugara Islands, with an area of 87. 6 square kilometers), the county covers an area of 132. /Square kilometers. Ryukyu Prefecture, including the Ryukyu Islands (1414. 6) square kilometers and Dadong Islands B67 square kilometers), the county area of 146. 19 square kilometers. Ryunan Prefecture, which includes the Ryunan Islands (formerly known as the Miyako Islands, 266 square kilometers) and the Yaeyama Islands (3. square kilometers), the county area B2. Square kilometers.

Here we should mention the Qucao Islands, which were formerly the Togara Islands. At that time, during the Sino-Japanese negotiations on the Ryukyus, Japan was forced to spit out the Ryukyus, but it also argued with China for several days over the demarcation of the Ryukyus, the focus of which was the ownership of the Togara Islands. The Chinese side believes that the Togara Islands originally belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom and should be returned to China as part of the Ryukyu Islands. However, Japan believed that the Togara Islands were not under the rule of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and that the inhabitants of the islands were not Ryukyuan at all and were not within the scope of restitution.

The two sides pulled the skin for several days for this matter, and later the "masters" of the Academy of Culture and History made meritorious contributions, and they dug out the recitals of the Ryukyu King to the Ming and Qing dynasties from the pile of old papers, which contained the map and household registration of the Ryukyus, and there were records about the Togara Islands. And the Japanese also found a bunch of evidence that the Japanese lived on it in the 11th century.

To be honest, whether this small archipelago belongs to Japan or the Ryukyus is really unquestionable. It is difficult to explain why neither Japan nor the Ryukyus had established an effective government here in ancient times because people did not attach great importance to these islands. However, everyone knows that diplomacy is a matter of whose fist is bigger, and if the fist is big, it is not yours but yours, and vice versa, what was originally yours is someone else's. As for what historical basis, since ancient times, etc., it is nothing more than a means of icing on the cake and making oneself look better, if you really think that the international community will recognize something "since ancient times", it is that the too young, too simple Tucson is broken.

Now China's fist is obviously thicker, and China has run out of patience after a few days of pulling and directly lit up its fist. The two task forces went around Tokyo again, and then the 6th Army surrounded the disarmed Japanese forces in Korea. So Japan knelt down and obediently recognized that the Togara Islands were the territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom and returned them to China together.

After this archipelago was in his hands, Mr. Wen felt that the name "Tugara" was not good. "Tugara" may not be much in Japanese pronunciation, but if it is in Chinese, it will read like "Tukela". Since the boss said that it was not good, then change it, and the Geographical Committee was busy for a while, and turned out its other name "Treasure Island Islands", but Mr. Wen was still not satisfied, thinking that this name was easy to be confused with Taiwan. For China, Taiwan can be regarded as a "treasure island", so where are the "treasures" of a few large islands?

In the end, according to the special product of the place, Ryukyu Qu, it was named "Qucao Islands". Ryukyu is a type of koji, and it is said that the straw mats and tatami mats woven from it are the best.

Of course, Mr. Wen asked for this archipelago not for the purpose of weaving straw mats, it is very close to Japan, and it is only more than 1oo kilometers away from Kyushu Island in a straight line, and it is also the only way for Japan to go south. After China occupied this place, it completely blocked the possibility of Japan going south, which was equivalent to putting Japan in a cage.

An hour later, Leon's small fleet was already approaching the port of Naha.

At this time, a large passenger airship that took off from Shanghai also circled and descended over the port.

"Has the airship route from Shanghai to Ryukyu been opened?" Seeing the words "East China Airlines" on the airship, Li Ang couldn't help but ask.

The political commissar said next to him: "It should still be a trial operation now, the newspaper said that it will be officially opened on New Year's Day next year......

"Well, we're almost there, too. When the cargo ships behind them enter the port, let them sign the contract. Then our next mission is to escort a supply fleet to the Ogasawara Islands and Guam Islands......" Leon said flipping through his logbook.

Naha General Airport.

The large passenger airship No. 15B, under the action of the mooring tower and the winch, slowly landed on the airship position of the integrated airport.

"Brother Simon, it's such an honor to meet you this time. The chubby Shen Minlong smiled and said goodbye to the friends he met on the airship.

Shen Fatzi handed over another business card and said with a smile: "This is my business card, if you or your unit want to use a car, just look for me." Not to mention anything else, eight-fold that's the minimum, hahaha......"

"Okay, I made a note of it, if I'm looking for a car outside, I'll be looking for you. Ximen Fuxue also smiled and took the business card.

This time, Ximen Blowing Snow to Ryukyu came to take up his new post, and after getting on the airship at Shanghai Airport, he met this Shen Fat Man who was in the same business room as himself. If you want to say that this big fat man also has a heart, he directly made the business of the carriage and horse dealer to Ryukyu. Shen Minlong also told him the reason, their industry is now fiercely competitive, major cities in the country have their own cars and horses, it is not easy to do business in these places, but the new territory is different, these places are not without cars and horses, so Shen Fatzi first went to the Han Dynasty and Pyongyang in North Korea, and after setting up the company, he hurriedly ran to Ryukyu to conduct business.

That Shen Fat Man is very capable, the two are speculative, and they soon became friends. However, Ximen Fuyuki did not say that he was here to be the county magistrate, but only that he was transferred to work in the Ryukyu County Government by his superiors.

At this time, the announcement in the airship sounded: "Attention passengers, please note that this flight has arrived at Naha Airport, please bring your belongings and disembark in turn." Your baggage has been delivered to the departure hall, please go to the baggage hall to collect your ticket......"

"Brother Shen, let's get off the airship. Simon Blowing Snow greeted, and the two got off the airship with their belongings.

They picked up their luggage in the baggage hall, and as soon as they entered the waiting hall, they saw the crowd holding many signs with people's names written on them, one of which read "Ryukyu Prefectural Government, West Gate Blowing Snow".

"Ximen, look, someone in your unit has picked you up......" Shen Fatzi deserved to be four-eyed, and he saw the sign at a glance.

Simon asked, "Old Shen, where is the person who picked you up?"

"Well, I don't. My carriage and horse shop hasn't opened here yet, so I'm here to play the front station...... It's okay, the transportation here is convenient, there is a bus when you go out, you can just ask, I will be at the Ryukyu Hotel these days, if you are free, come over for a meal......" Shen Fatzi smiled.

"Oh, then you Yu Crisp and I will come along......" Simon Blowing Snow beckoned the fat man to come along.

When the two came to the answering officer, Ximen Fuxue said to the young man holding the sign: "Hello, comrade, I am Ximen Fuxue......"

"Oh, you are Comrade Simon?" the young man was stunned for a moment, and then said politely: "Comrade Simon, please show your ID card, work permit and appointment order." Sorry, this is the program ......"

"It's nothing, give it to ......" Ximen Fuxue opened the briefcase, took out the documents and the appointment and handed them to the young man.

"Oh, comrade county magistrate, you have worked hard all the way...... the young man looked at it and hurriedly returned the things, and said with a smile: "My name is Liu Yilong, and I am the secretary of the municipal government." You are the first leader of Ryukyu County to take office, and now the Ryukyu Department is not enough, there are not many people in the city and county teams, and a lot of work cannot be carried out, so it is great that you are here. Now you go to the city hall guest house to rest and then go to the city hall in the afternoon, the mayor has been waiting for you......"

"Okay, Comrade Liu Yilong, you can arrange it......" Ximen nodded, then pointed to Shen Fatzi next to him and said, "Oh, this Mr. Shen Minlong is my friend, please send him to the Ryukyu Hotel......"

"Okay, no problem, the Ryukyu Hotel is next to the city hall guest house, please come with me. Pick up your car in the parking lot outside......" Secretary Liu put away the sign, and led Ximen and them out of the airport to take the car.
