Chapter 2535
It has been more than three years since Wang Tom led the fleet to leave East Asia for the other side of the Pacific in 1652.According to the news sent back later, after several months of exploration at sea, the fleet passed through the Hawaiian Islands, and successfully arrived at the west coast of North America the following year, and established stations in the Hawaiian Islands in the central Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay on the North American coast. .Wang Anguo joined the army very early and went to North America with Tom Wang.
During this period, Western colonists had not yet invaded Hawaii, and there were only indigenous residents there. It would not be too difficult for the Haihan Fleet to build a supply port at Pearl Harbor, the destination that had been planned long ago.The San Diego Bay was set foot by Spanish colonists more than 100 years ago, and a colony was established there. Haihan and Spain have been hostile for many years. After meeting again, there will inevitably be a fight. No small test.
As a senior staff officer of the Ministry of National Defense, Ha Jianyi has also come into contact with some information about the battles of the advance fleet in North America. factors, but did not dare to underestimate it.
Since Wang Anguo was "one of his own", Ha Jianyi did not hide his identity, and called him to the side, introducing him to Tao Hongfang and others.Unexpectedly, after the two sides introduced each other, they discovered that both Tao Hongfang and Bai Letong had contact with Wang Anguo, but that was more than ten years ago. Wang Anguo lived in Sanya for a short time, and The place where he was studying at that time was naturally also a school that only the second generation were eligible to enroll.
It’s just that Wang Tom has been fighting abroad all year round. Affected by this, Wang Anguo was picked up by his family after finishing elementary school in Sanya. Since then, he has never returned to Sanya, so his contact with Tao Bai was limited to his childhood. After meeting for the first time after many years, it is naturally difficult to recognize each other by their appearance and figure.It was not until they reported their names and identities to each other that several people remembered this past event.
Although Wang Anguo left Sanya very early, he also understood that he and Tao Hongfang and the others belonged to the same special class, so he moved a chair and sat with the four of them.
What Ha Jianyi is most concerned about is naturally why Wang Anguo appeared in Hangzhou. Wang Anguo also explained this: "This time I return to China to deal with some military affairs, and I need to contact the East China Sea Region. But regarding the specific situation, There is a confidentiality policy and we cannot disclose it to you.”
Wang Anguo's mouth was strict, and Ha Jianyi couldn't keep asking about it.He also knows that the status of the advance fleet is a very high-level military secret, and ordinary people may not be able to understand where the fleet has gone, and all the equipment, training, and combat plans of the fleet are also listed separately from the navy. When they come out, although they have to report to the Ministry of National Defense, they do not need approval. They are one of the few troops that can enjoy this special treatment.But even if Wang Anguo refused to disclose the mission of returning to China, Ha Jianyi could probably guess a little bit.
When the advance fleet set off that year, it was mainly combat troops. Although it also brought some immigrants, they were basically military families and craftsmen in charge of logistics, and the number was extremely limited.After establishing a station on the other side of the ocean, it is natural to try to increase the population as soon as possible to consolidate the local colonial area.And the fastest way is to recruit immigrants from the country and transport them in batches to the other side of the ocean for resettlement.
In addition, although the advance fleet has established a station at the destination, it will certainly not be able to open special facilities such as shipyards and arsenals in the short term, so the update and supplement of armaments still depends on domestic supplies.And because the route to the other side of the ocean is too far away, there is still no ship company familiar with this route in China at this stage, so the advance fleet can only send people back to buy supplies and equipment, and then act as the navigator to bring these things back to the station.
Since he couldn't talk about Wang Anguo's mission to return to China, Ha Jianyi turned the topic to the progress of the colony construction in North America: "I heard that the advance fleet has built a port and a military base there. How is the situation now?"
Wang Anguo replied: "The climate of the bay we went to is actually similar to that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it was relatively smooth to reclaim farmland and sow crops near the station. It's just that due to limited manpower and the presence of Spaniards nearby, we are temporarily Don’t dare to spread the stall too far,”
"In addition to the Spaniards, there is also an indigenous race called Indians. They also have black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. Their appearance is somewhat similar to ours. These Indians mostly live on fishing, hunting, farming and animal husbandry, and they respect nature. , believe in animism. They have their own language, live in tribes, have no cities, and have no states.”
Bai Letong interjected: "According to what you said, since they have entered the farming era, why didn't they establish a country?"
According to the knowledge they have learned, the development of social productive forces will lead to the emergence of private ownership, followed by classes, and the organizational form of the state will also emerge as the times require.
Wang Anguo shook his head and said, "The continent there is very vast. We can only go to a radius of a hundred miles near the coast. Maybe there are cities and countries established by Indians far away from the coast."
Tao Hongfang asked curiously: "What is the difference between the crops grown by Indians and our country?"
Wang Anguo replied: "Speaking of this, I also find it very strange. Almost all the crops we see in the local area are grown in our country. However, the local indigenous people do not grow rice and wheat. Their food crops are corn, sweet potatoes and All kinds of beans."
For the sake of publicity, the people of Trauma will not indicate the origins of the various crops they brought to this era. However, in fact, many crops in later generations originated from American Indians, such as corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts, tomatoes, Chili and more.
However, farming civilization did not develop and grow in the Americas. At its peak, there were only some regional tribal alliances or city-state civilizations, and then the development process was interrupted by Western colonists.Of course, in this time and space, in addition to the Western colonists, there is suddenly a powerful foreign civilization called Haihan, and the Indians, as a relatively backward civilization, face even greater competitive pressure.
But for the young second generation, the existence of Indians will only arouse their curiosity, and they will not feel that the local aborigines can pose a threat to the advance fleet with strong ships and guns.Similar to this kind of action to conquer the aborigines in unfamiliar areas, Haihan had a precedent for dealing with the local aborigines in the process of establishing colonies on Taiwan Island and the South China Sea, and the Indians were just a new target.
