Chapter 1214 Arriving in Ambuna
Qiu Xin used his official residence as an example to explain to Tan Juren the benefits of holding power, which is indeed very intuitive and vivid. Using this to speculate on his living conditions in Vung Tau Port, it goes without saying that he should be living very comfortably.After all, both Champa and Annan attach great importance to the diplomatic relationship with Haihan, and they are both worried that Haihan will favor each other. As Haihan's spokesperson here, he naturally enjoys excellent treatment because of this.Looking back on the situation in the previous few colonies, because there was no competitor from Champa, the local officials did not have the benefits of Qiu Xin. After all, the location of Vung Tau Port is good, it is at the border of the two countries, otherwise they would Although it is expensive to be the leader of the colony, it is difficult to exchange so many benefits with the power in hand.
Tan Juren quickly figured out the cause-and-effect relationship, and shook his head with a smile, "It's true that the emperor of the colony is easy to do, but the environment on your side cannot be replicated elsewhere."
Qiu Xin did not deny Tan Juren's statement, nodded and said: "You are right, brother, of course I understand, so I don't plan to transfer back to Sanya. I am already old, and to be honest, I can't compete with you. The young people who can enjoy it for a few more years are just a few more years! When I participated in the operation and followed Boss Tao to come here, wasn’t it just to live the life of a master?”
Tan Juyi was silent for a while, and the other party said it well. Although many people did participate in the time-traveling operation with the fantasy of making great achievements, there is a gap between reality and fantasy after all.Most of them are inconspicuous ordinary people in their original social environment, without any outstanding leadership ability or knowledge. Compared with people of this era, they have hundreds of years of knowledge, and this Not all strengths may come in handy in the process of governing the country.
In the end, most of the people who can get ahead from this group are those who have achieved certain achievements in the original time and space, and Qiu Xin, who is relatively mediocre and older, does have a lot of room for improvement. It is limited, and it is a reasonable choice to be the local emperor in an overseas colony like Vung Tau Port.
Of course, Tan Juren’s values are not the same as Qiu Xin’s. He believes that although his abilities are limited, he is better than young, and there are infinite possibilities for everything. It is too early to find a colony to lie down and retire.But everyone has their own ambitions, and he can't assert that Qiu Xin's choice is wrong. He lives a life of the emperor here, without worrying about safety issues, and without considering the pressure of political competition. It's good to live a leisurely life.
It took the fleet a day and a half to complete the replenishment at Vung Tau Port, during which time it also brought more than 100 immigrants recruited from the local area, and then left the port and continued to travel south.After saying goodbye to Vung Tau Port, the next part of the voyage will enter the open ocean in the hinterland of the South China Sea. The straight-line distance between the next stop, the Annbuna Islands and Vung Tau Port, is a full [-] nautical miles. To complete this voyage, at least It takes four to five days, provided there is no severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances during the voyage.
I was really afraid of what would happen. A day and a half after the fleet left Vung Tau Port, there was a sudden strong wind on the sea, and then a powerful storm ushered in.Even the warship with the largest tonnage and volume in the fleet can only be tossed down by big waves like a small sampan in the face of the power of nature, unable to struggle at all.
Tan Juren was lying on the bed in the cabin, using the safety belt beside the bed to fix himself on the bed.This is one of the trainings he received before departure, how to deal with rough sea conditions at sea, so as not to be injured in the severe hull bumping.When he was in Sanya, he seldom went to sea, and he had never encountered such bad weather. Apart from being flustered, he was flustered, and there was even a trace of regret in his heart that he gave up the comfortable life in Sanya and insisted on running to the unpredictable South China Sea. What official.If it was hung in the sea due to strong winds and waves, it is estimated that even the bones will not be found afterwards. After the memorial service in Sanya, there will probably be nothing but a tomb.
Tan Juren was thinking wildly, while enduring the discomfort caused by violent turbulence. He seldom went to sea, and he really had no ability to adapt to this level of wind and waves. His stomach was already overwhelmed. Hold on so as not to vomit.
The situation on the ship loaded with immigrants was much worse than Tan Juren's. The living quarters of the immigrant ship were on the second and third decks, and the inside was already filled with the disgusting smell of vomit.Han Zhengshan's duty lies, but he can't lie in the cabin and wait for the storm to pass like his boss. He is also in the lower cabin at this time, trying to appease the emotions of the immigrants.He was not a person who used to go to sea, but he came here all the way from Zhejiang, and after thousands of miles, he has gradually adapted to the living environment at sea, at least much better than most of the immigrants on this ship.
This sudden storm lasted for a whole day before it subsided gradually. During this period, Tan Juren, who was unable to eat at all due to the strong discomfort, felt that half of his life was lost. Although the storm had calmed down, his overall condition remained the same. I was in a dizzy state, and it was a little difficult to even walk on the ground.
And most of the people in the entire fleet are in no better condition than Tan Juren. Except for those old sailors who have been with the wind and waves all year round, ordinary people can't stand such a whole day of bumps and tossing, they can only lie down Breathe out and slowly recover your body.
The impact of the storm throughout the day on the fleet was not limited to the physical condition of the passengers. The fleet slowly shrunk the formation dispersed by the storm together, and at the same time, all ships immediately began to count the damage. The sails on some ships were inevitably damaged to varying degrees in this storm, and the damage of several ships could not be solved by minor repairs on the way, and they could only be replaced after the next stop Damaged sails on board.Fortunately, most of the damaged parts of the ship were concentrated on the sails on the deck, and there were no major problems with the hull.However, the wind and waves were strong, and the cabins on the ship were inevitably flooded. As a result, part of the cargo was also thrown into the water, so they had to be moved to the deck to dry.
However, the loss of personnel is inevitable. A total of seven people were lost in this storm.The so-called missing means that they fell into the sea and could not be found, and the seven people were all sailors on the ship without exception, and unfortunately died while insisting on working on the deck during the storm.In addition, there were dozens of wounded who were accidentally injured for various reasons, but basically none of them were in danger of life.As for the most helpless passengers on the ship, because they were enclosed in the cabin during the entire storm, there was no loss of personnel.
Unfortunately, two sailors were lost on the ship Han Zhengshan was on. When he came to the cockpit, he saw that the captain Ding Xu's face was also very ugly. Han Zhengshan could only say a few words that are not painful and comfort Ding Xu first. .
"Counting the two brothers who were in the accident this time, my boat has lost seven people in the South China Sea!" Ding Xu clenched his teeth tightly, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "This trip back, there will be more The two families are orphaned and widowed!"
Although Ding Xu was very unwilling, no one could cope with this kind of natural disaster. Of course, the sailors who disappeared in the storm would eventually be classified as dead in the line of duty, and their families would also receive pensions issued by the shipping department. But such a loss of personnel is It's something everyone on board doesn't want to see.
Several immigrant ships and cargo ships drifted to several nautical miles away in the storm. Fortunately, each ship was equipped with fireworks flares. After spending a lot of time, they were finally found and returned to the team.But in this way, the speed of the entire fleet was severely slowed down by the damaged ships, and they could only keep moving slowly at an average speed of three to four knots.
Therefore, in addition to the time required for the original voyage, it took the fleet two more days to finally reach the waters of the Abunna Islands.Fortunately, the fleet had sufficient supplies during the trip. Although the time was delayed for two days, there was no food and drinking water crisis.
On the way, the fleet sent a message to the authorities of Ambuna Island through the radio, in order to make preparations in advance to accept this large-scale fleet to dock at the port.However, due to the storm encountered on the way, the sails of many ships were obviously damaged, so that when the fleet entered the port, it looked a little disheartened, which surprised the crowd on the pier.
Mu Xiabo of the army is currently in charge of the power in the Abunna Islands, and he returned here after going around a lot. In 1631, Muchaber garrisoned the place and led the defenders to defeat the Dutch fleet trying to regain control.But later he was transferred back to Annan, and this place was handed over to Feng Annan and Luo Jie successively.However, the year before last Luo Jienan was transferred to the Xingdao base, and the Ministry of National Defense transferred him back to the old place.
But Annbuna Island is not a military area in the traditional sense. Since the year before last, it has been transformed into an entertainment paradise in the South China Sea. Various casinos and hotels have sprung up on the island. On the south side of the island, the wildlife area presided over by biologist Zhang Yun has also taken shape and has become a must-see for tourists who come here.
Those who have the financial means to visit this island in the hinterland of the South China Sea are either from wealthy families or political figures from various countries, and everything on the island is prepared for these high-ranking officials who spend money like water.Although it is still in the stage of cost recovery, the Ministry of Commerce believes that the prospect of profitability can be expected - after all, the development plan of Abuna Island was formulated and implemented by Schneider himself, no matter from which point of view, there is no room for loss.
Of course, the tourism facilities on the island alone are not enough to attract enough tourists. After all, entertainment venues such as casinos and brothels are available in any country, and those who have never been there will not find it particularly unusual. Although there are many rare birds and animals in the animal area, it is only a hunting ground. People who are not good at this will not come here to hunt here.
But Schneider has his own coup, holding a South China Sea trade fair on the island in the first half of each year, and arranging a meeting of member states of the South China Sea Trade Union in the second half of the year, interspersed with various occasional small celebrations and trade fairs. Even transnational military contests and so on.The people who come to participate in the activities are basically rich or expensive. Just two large-scale activities are enough to maintain the popularity and popularity of Ambuna Island.And Haihan's management of commercial organizations can be described as proficient. All kinds of business methods from hundreds of years ago are used in this place. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, the proportion of repeat customers who come here is astonishingly high, especially those who come here every year. Almost everyone at the upper echelon who participated in a large meeting had a bunch of membership cards in various commercial organizations on the island.
Before Tan Juren came here, he had heard of all the prosperity on Anbuna Island, but after he disembarked, he was still a little dazzled by the sight in front of him, because the level of port infrastructure here seemed to be higher than that of the island. It is higher than Sanya.Although the port area is small, the ground of the entire port area and the roads leading to nearby towns are almost hardened, and the cement required for construction must be transported across the sea. Considering the limited transportation capacity, the cost of such construction One can imagine.
And the various buildings on the port as far as the eye can see are not as simple as those dusty blue brick houses in Sanya. The houses here obviously pay more attention to the treatment of the outer walls, whether they are painted with paint or not. It is simply wrapped with cut stone or ceramic tiles, and the exterior of the building has obviously been carefully designed, full of various exotic styles and colorful colors.
"This place...is really..." Tan Juyi couldn't think of suitable adjectives to express his views on the scene in front of him, but in terms of the level of infrastructure alone, this place is indeed the highest level he has seen on this trip to the south up.Tan Juren didn't know how much Haihan Commerce Department invested here to create the current environment, but it was clear that a lot of painstaking efforts had been spent.According to his previous knowledge, this place is still in the first phase of the project. In other words, there will be at least several years of development and construction investment in the follow-up. This can also be seen how much the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Commerce value this place. .
The island received a telegram notification from the fleet in advance, and a place has been marked out on the north side of the port area, and a large number of tents have been set up as a temporary residence for the fleet personnel.This is also due to the fact that there are various activities on the island every once in a while, and the dignitaries who come here often have a lot of entourages, and it is obviously impossible for these people to all stay with their masters in expensive hotels, so a large number of them are also prepared on the island. Tents are provided for the humble servants to stay temporarily.Although the fleet came with thousands of people at one go, and the tents were not enough, at least some of them could be diverted to live ashore temporarily instead of being crowded on the boat.
