C841 The situation in the Pacific

After a month of rallying, the people and ships on all the shores of Moro Bay outside the historic city of Sanbaoyan, which was named after the eunuch Zheng He, were shocked by the size of the fleet.

In the era of sailing ships, the so called Ocean Caravans usually had three or four ships moving together. But today, 35 different types of scissor boat had gathered together and formed a battle formation within the bay, with the bows of the ships all rushing towards the east.

The Roman, that was captured by the Ryukyu, was like a general passing through the fleet. Every time the Roman and the merchant ship passed by, they would let out an earth-shattering roar.

The ten thousand Taiping Army s had all been gathered, and all the food and fresh water supplies had all been loaded onto the ships. Xiao Letian even sent a telegram to Prussia reporting all the details of the Taiping Army to the ship.

The current telegraph did not reply, but Xiao Letian knew that if King Yi knew that there was still another batch of veterans working so hard, he would definitely be crying from excitement.

In the telegram, Xiao Letian told King Yi to use the money from his Foundation to purchase some top grade individual equipment in Prussia. The quality of the industry in German was extremely good, and then secretly transport them from Berlin to South America.

If you want to do it, then become the strongest army in South America!

didn't say a single word about the military parade at sea. He only stood on the deck in his military uniform, so that all the veterans on board could see him.

The two banners on the back of Xiao Letian was an order and reminder from him.

"Even though the Heavenly Kingdom is dead, the peaceful dream has not been broken!"

"Forty thousand miles in the mountain pass, this person is China!"

Everyone chewed these two sentences and swallowed it down before turning it into their own blood. Yes, the kingdom of heaven had already passed away, and there was no possibility of it returning to the country ever again, but the dream of establishing a peaceful and prosperous world was still there, and there were still those who would work hard later on.

Maybe the Heavenly Kingdom in South America was not the same as the Heavenly Kingdom in the past, but it would definitely be better than the past, because everyone's dreams of a peaceful and prosperous world would not be shattered.

Mountain Guan, 40,000 miles away, China has reached the horizon, but don't be afraid to walk out of the country, no matter where you stand you are China, this body is China, what you present to the world, the world will think of China as what it is, men are strong!

Xiao Letian waved his hand, the Roman Cannon started firing, 35 merchant ships roared in joy, the pure white sails rose, the ocean breeze brought a huge burst of energy, the fleet pounced towards the South America in the distance.

Tie Toutuo and Tang Lei rode on the two largest merchant ships respectively. The moment they passed Xiao Letian, Prime Minister Donghai saluted and saw them off, the two men truly had no future. Even the ocean wind that was as clean as the ocean blew into the sand.

"Work hard …" As expected, I will send you a big gift package this year... Wait at South America for me to receive it! " Xiao Letian roared.

"Prime Minister, don't worry …" "Mission accomplished..." As the sound grew further and further away, Xiao Letian never let go of the hand he used to salute.

The safety of this expedition was still very high because the Pacific Ocean was not an important strategic goal of any major powers. The United States was currently in the midst of a difficult period of recovery from civil war, and its basic national policy was completely isolationism.

But Britain and the French are still focused on the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Australia in the Pacific is only a place of exile, and its economic value has not yet been brought to the fore.

We can't forget about Russia, of course, but the Polar Bear is also being suppressed by the British Navy, which sold it to the United States in 1867 for only $7.2 million.

The dollar in mid-century leaf was still the real dollar, it was completely fixed on the gold price. The conversion ratio of one silver to the dollar was around 2.5, which meant that the transaction cost was only 2.88 million silver.

It was a perfect deal, a deal worth three million silver taels. Honestly speaking, the mega-merchant in Jiangnan could gather all of it, but unfortunately, they would not sell it to anyone.

However, Xiao Letian was an exception. As an important partner of Asia who was very close to the United States, it was not a problem for him to prepare several hundred thousand silver taels to buy some permanent land rights.

After recalling the location of the best forests and mines in the Alaska, Xiao Letian's envoys had signed countless agreements with the United States Government to obtain permanent land rights. Even if we don't want sovereignty over the United States, the right to use these lands is ours.

No date, definitely no date. If one had to ask why the sale was so successful, it was because in the true history of the country, the purchase of Alaska s was almost solely driven by Secretary of State Siward.

At that time, the United States was in dire straits and needed to use money everywhere, but the Alaska had not found any mineral deposits at that time, and because it was located in a cold zone, it was very difficult to transport the wood out. Other than picking up some good seafood, and providing some precious fur for trading on land, there was almost nothing else that could be provided.

Everyone in the United States thought that the United States had suffered a huge loss. Now, with Xiao Letian wanting to share in Siward's stupid idea, how could there be anyone in the country who would stop him?

So, even if Seward was a little worried, he was still powerless to stop Xiao Letian from devouring all the outstanding port land, forests and mountains.

In the end, no one knew how much land Xiao Letian had actually consumed, but with 1.52 million square kilometers, it was still very easy for Xiao Letian to eat twenty three hundred thousand square kilometers.

The reason why Russian lost his Alaska was not only because he used his bare land to transform it, but also because he was afraid of Britain launching an attack from the Pacific Ocean.

Alaska was simply too far, they could not defend it, and there was nothing they could do to sell it to the United States.

There were a total of six or seven warships. They were enslaving Chinese labourers as they carefully built permanent fortresses, and without more than ten years of effort, their Far East Navy would simply be in a terrible situation.

The timing that he crossed over to this world was just too great. In the decades between two Industrial Revolution s, it was really the last chance for the backward races to show their strength, even if they could get on the last bus, they would have to wait for another chance to get on the train, which meant that they would have to wait until after the second world war.

After eliminating the Western Powers, the biggest threat to Expeditionary forces, all that was left were natural and man-made disasters. Humanity was only a veteran who had come here during their miserable times, so they would definitely cherish an opportunity to be a good person.

As for Sky Disaster, she was not too worried, because the route Xiao Letian had chosen for the fleet should be the safest route to cross the Pacific Ocean in the era of sail.
