- Zhang Tie's idea was very good, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
Because Zhao Hongyu¡¯s administrative level improvement depends on whether the virtual trading system can be satisfied.
No matter who they are, there is nothing they can do about this.
If Zhao Hongyu wants to be upgraded to the administrative level of county magistrate, he will need a large number of ethnic Chinese people under his command. Even after three years, we are still a little bit behind.
Now it¡¯s winter again, and there¡¯s no hope for this year.
Therefore, Zhang Tie no longer had this idea.
In fact, Zhang Tie also very much hopes that Zhao Hongyu¡¯s administrative level can be improved, and then bring them a new change and new development opportunities.
However, with the development of cities in the American Empire, the amount of funds required is too large, and it is impossible to increase the population to such explosive growth.
Therefore, Zhang Tie could only wait patiently.
Song Hu and Professor Liu sent him messages earlier, telling him that the development momentum in Ontario was very good.
The shipyard plan planned by Song Hu two years ago has now been basically completed and has begun production.
It only takes one year, that is, next winter, the Song Empire will have 600 copycat Dutch-style ocean-going commercial and combat dual-purpose battleships, and 120 giant battleships such as the Sea King.
By that time, the Song Empire¡¯s sea areas will be completely patrolled by its own domestically produced warships.
Furthermore, even if a naval battle occurs and is severely damaged, the empire can replenish its forces in a short time.
According to Song Hu¡¯s prediction, as long as they are given five or ten years, the Song Empire will become the overlord of the sea. In this era, there will be no other forces that can compete with them on the sea.
Because according to the shipbuilding speed in Ontario, more than 700 warships can be built a year, which is already a great thing.
If Song Hu's calculations are true, the Song Empire will have more than 7,000 warships used entirely for naval warfare in ten years. This is definitely an awe-inspiring maritime force.
You must know that the shipyards of the Song Empire were not just located in Ontario. Manhattan also has more than 200 shipyards of its own. Quebec in the north also has more than 200 shipyards, and even King Mountain in the west has begun to build shipyards.
Therefore, ten years later, the Song Empire will probably have more than 7,000 warships, and it will definitely be much more than this number.
However, unlike Ontario, not all of the shipyards in Manhattan and Quebec are used to build warships. Half of these shipyards build large ocean-going fishing vessels.
After all, for the Song Empire, the rich fishery resources on the eastern coast of America are also a channel for them to make money from the virtual world.
So, how could Zhang Tie give up.
Compared with Manhattan and Ontario City, Quebec¡¯s main development is agriculture.
Therefore, the development of Quebec is not as rapid as that of Ontario or Manhattan. However, because Quebec developed agriculture and reclaimed large tracts of farmland, Quebec has become the current granary of the Song Empire.
Basically, the excess food and vegetables in Quebec are concentrated and sold into the virtual world. And because they are pollution-free and contain no additives or pesticides, these grains and vegetables are selling very well.
¡°As a result, the Song Empire¡¯s trade with the virtual world now relies entirely on Ontario¡¯s coal resources, Quebec¡¯s agriculture, and Manhattan¡¯s gold mines and fishery resources.
However, Zhang Tie, Song Hu, and Professor Liu all feel that exchanging minerals from the Americas for the funds they need for development is just a temporary expedient.
If possible, they want to find another way to make profits.
After all, why not leave the resources on the American continent to their descendants instead of developing them now?
It¡¯s just that for the current Song Empire, they don¡¯t have that much power to carry out this matter.
Fortunately, just relying on these current trades can already provide the Song Empire with the development needs.
¡°The King Mountain side arrived in San Francisco on the West Coast and began to mine the rich gold resources there, which greatly eased the mining pressure on the Ontario coal side.
At the same time, there is news that Australia has been discovered and has stationed troops.??It was sent back to Manhattan.
Therefore, Zhang Tie wrote to Song Hu and Professor Liu and expressed his views to them.
That is, if conditions are mature or allowed, the empire can use destructive mining methods to plunder Australia's resources and use Australia to develop itself.
Zhang Tie is confident that when the empire develops in twenty years and what kind of large-scale machinery can be used, the empire can completely exploit Australia's resources in a hundred years.
By then, Australia, which has exhausted its resources, can still make a fortune by selling it to the Arabs.
After all, compared to the Arabs who are surrounded by yellow sand, the climate in Australia is definitely a paradise.
Even Australia can be exchanged for desert land in the Middle East.
In this way, at a very small price, the empire can be exchanged for the Middle East with rich oil resources. This transaction is definitely a good deal.
Regarding Zhang Tie¡¯s extremely bad idea, Song Hu and Professor Liu expressed their full support while complaining.
However, with the power of the Song Empire, there is no way to estimate the resources in Australia. Therefore, we can only temporarily station troops to occupy this territory, and then wait until the strength is sufficient.
But no matter what, this tone has been set by Zhang Tie and Song Hu.
Because Zhao Hongyu went to the east, the main decisions of the Song Empire are now made by Song Hu, Zhang Tie and Professor Liu. Zhao Hongyu didn't know that they would be so bad, and they made this idea that was so bad that it would bleed.
But even if Zhao Hongyu knew about it, he wouldn't refuse this proposal and plan, right?
¡° Anyway, the Song Empire and himself did not suffer, it was others who suffered, right?
In short, even if Zhao Hongyu is not here, there are no flaws in the operation of the Song Empire. On the contrary, it is still thriving and developing very well.
Zhang Tie is still very satisfied with all this.
¡°Is there any news about His Highness recently?¡±
As usual, Zhang Tie strolled around the pier, looked at the black slaves sold to the Americas by Arab merchants, and looked at the European people who came here on ocean-going merchant ships to make a living, and then ate near the pier. After a bowl of pony noodles, he came to his office in a happy mood.
The secretary replied: "Yes, there was a ship from San Francisco early this morning, and the people on the ship brought back news from His Highness Dongfang."
As soon as Zhang Tie heard this, he immediately said: "Please report to me quickly. His Highness has been away for such a long time. I think everything went well when he came to his place. I hope nothing dangerous happens. He is It¡¯s our backbone.¡±
The reason why Zhang Tie is so nervous about Zhao Hongyu's affairs is that he is worried about what kind of trouble his Highness will encounter in the East. Especially when Wang Shan sent back news from San Francisco that Zhao Hongyu had left all 12,000 army troops in San Francisco, Zhang Tie never let go of this worry.
Of course, Zhang Tie also understood why Zhao Hongyu did this in the first place. After all, a large-scale inter-tribal war was breaking out among the Indians in the San Francisco area at that time.
In order to give Wang Shan enough strength to cope with everything and ensure his development in the San Francisco area, Zhao Hongyu decided to leave all the army under his command to Wang Shan.
It was precisely because Zhao Hongyu made such a correct decision at that time that Wang Shan relied on his strong military strength to gain a foothold in the San Francisco area and start urban planning, construction and development.
Without these 12,000 troops, although Wangshan could still develop, the momentum would not be as good.
And the Indians in the San Francisco area, precisely because they saw the power of Wang Shan and his army, joined his army and became vassal tribes, making Wang Shan even more powerful.
After the secretary heard that the supervisor wanted to know the news about Dongfang, he quickly went to the confidential room and got the news documents sent back by someone from Zhao Hongyu.
Then, the secretary told all the news above.
After listening to the secretary talk about the news from Zhao Hongyu, Zhang Tie waved his hand and asked the secretary to retreat.
When the secretary left the office, a worried look appeared on Zhang Tie's face.
In this news, Zhao Hongyu told what he was doing in the East without any concealment. For example, everything he did in the Japanese country, and his plan to control Kyushu in his own hands.
When this news was sent back,?Hongyu had just bombarded Osaka Commercial Town, and had not yet experienced the siege of Osaka Castle.
By the time Zhang Tie knew the news, Zhao Hongyu had already signed a city alliance with the Japanese and forced the Japanese to cede Kyushu. At the same time, Zhao Hongyu himself led the army and began military operations against Kyushu.
After all, the information transmission in this era cannot be as developed as in another time and space. For example, Zhang Tie was able to get the news about Zhao Hongyu within two months, which is considered very fast.
You know, in this era, it would take at least half a year to nine months for the people in the British colonies in America to get news back to the UK.
Therefore, in comparison, Zhao Hongyu's information transmission speed is already very good.
But Zhang Tie also understands this truth, which is why he is so worried.
The secretary has made it very clear just now that the news came via ship via San Francisco in the morning.
And when this news was sent out, the distance was already quite long.
During the time when this news was being transmitted, whether His Highness far to the east could deal with the Japanese.
Although His Highness¡¯s plan is very good, it seems that the Japanese are not that easy to deal with.
Besides, when His Highness left San Francisco, he said that the army of 12,000 men was left behind and handed over to Wang Shan. So in addition to the navy, he also had Emma's Indian Guards and 300 European troops. Except for the slave cavalry and the dozens of European knights guarding Sarah, there is no land warfare force.
Of course, those genetic sailors in His Highness¡¯s fleet can also mobilize a group of people to form an army.
However, even if these people are drawn out, how many people can there be?
What¡¯s more, Your Highness wants the Japanese to cede Kyushu, which is no small matter.
Based on the nature of the Japanese, I would definitely not agree to this matter, and it would also cause a lot of hostility.
Therefore, war will definitely break out.
There are only a few people around His Highness. If you can't cope with it Zhang Tie looked worried because he thought about this.
At this time, Zhang Tie did not know that his Highness had not only broken out into conflict with the Japanese, but had also captured the Japanese emperor and shogun, and at the same time actually forced the Japanese court to cede Kyushu.
It¡¯s just that the big names in Kyushu don¡¯t want to give up everything they have now. Therefore, in order to protect their own interests, they had already started a war with their Highness in Kyushu.
In this conquest of Kyushu, Zhao Hongyu actually defeated the 150,000 troops of the thirteen famous families in Kyushu with a disadvantaged force of less than 10,000.
At this moment, Zhao Hongyu has taken advantage of the opportunity of severely weakening the vitality of the thirteen famous families in Kyushu to start the battle to conquer Kyushu.
" Moreover, Zhao Hongyu's attack momentum is very good now, and Kyushu will fall after a while.
For all this, Zhang Tie could not know because of the distance and backward communication.
His brows were knitted together tightly, and he was actually blaming Zhao Hongyu in his heart.
He thought to himself, His Highness is really worried.
¡°How could you, a noble person like you, have a head-on confrontation with a loser like the Japanese?
????????????????????????? If something happens, there will really be no tears to cry and no place to regret.
Although Zhang Tie complained in his heart, there was nothing he could do about it.
¡°After all, he is now in the Americas and is beyond his reach to things in the East.
Therefore, he walked around the office a few times anxiously, and finally stopped in front of the world map posted on the wall in the office.
Zhang Tie looked up at the world map purchased from the virtual world for a long time.
I could see his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking about at this moment.
However, following his gaze, you can see that Zhang Tie¡¯s eyes on the world map have been wandering around Australia and Southeast Asia.
Your Highness, Your Highness, I hope nothing will happen to you.
If something goes wrong, what should we do?
Maybe, I should do something.
In the end, Zhang Tie¡¯s eyes were fixed on UM.On the Southeast Asian Islands northwest of Asia (To be continued.
