Although these Chinese workers are very diligent, they work almost 12 hours a day, and live and work on the construction site, but most of them are just disembarked after all, their bodies have not been adjusted to the best state, and they have not received relevant technologies. Training, so invested in the heavy construction work, is certainly not as efficient as those domestic workers.

Of course, "in the United States" here refers to Chinese workers in the United States. Compared with others, the Chinese have a natural advantage in this regard.

George Dewey's office is on the top of a hill in Pearl Harbor. This is also a wooden board room. However, as the fleet commander's office, even the wooden board room must be the best-furnished and most well-equipped, and in the ordinary sense. The "wooden room" is completely different.

The weather in Hawaii in June was gradually getting hot. When he returned to the room, George Dewey immediately took off his coat and tie, and opened the top two openings of the shirt. Then he took a breath on the back of the chair.

"Our friends have brought us the latest news. The Spaniards transferred an army stationed in Guam to Manila. At present, the voice of Guam is no more than 100 colonial soldiers, including more than 90 colonial servants. I think we only need to send out a gunboat to drive the Spaniards off Guam— "Chris Graham handed in a piece of information just sent by the staff, which was provided by the Ryukyus .

As senior officers of the Pacific Fleet, George Dewey and Chris Graham knew the mission of the Pacific Fleet very well. The reason why Washington placed Pacific Command in Pearl Harbor was a clear revelation of the Pacific ambitions. Guam was the Pacific The nearest Spanish colony to Hawaii has been the focus of the Pacific Fleet.

Well, the Spaniards are indeed declining. Since the invincible fleet was defeated, Spain ’s colonies around the world have been shrinking. Before, Spain, Caribbean Cuba, and Southeast Asia ’s Philippines could hide themselves. Cuba is now separated from Spain through the War of Independence. The Philippines has become Spain's last colony. In other words, if war starts like Spain, Southeast Asia will become the main battlefield of the United States and Spain.

As for Ryukyu, since Junma Group fostered Ryukyu independence, although Junma Group has never acknowledged this, the relationship between Ryukyu and the United States has been seen by everyone. The United States has to take action against Spain, and Ryukyu has become the Pacific fleet in the Far East The biggest eyeliner in the region, just half a month ago, George Dewey and the Ryukyu government signed a "cooperation agreement". Once the United States and East Asia and other countries are in a state of war, the Pacific Fleet can use all of Ryukyu's domestic The port, which has eliminated the biggest logistical hazard for the Pacific Fleet. If war with the Spaniards occurs, Ryukyu will become the rear of the Pacific Fleet. This is very beneficial to the Pacific Fleet. The most direct benefit is to shorten the Pacific Fleet supply line About 8000 kilometers.

"Guam doesn't have to worry. Our goal is only one. It is the Navy of Manila. Send a telegram to our Ryukyu friends. If possible, ask them to conduct a preliminary investigation on Manila. It is best to get the battery defense map of Manila Port." George Dewey didn't take Guam to heart. Don't look at Guam's importance in the Pacific system of the US military in the 21st century, but in the 19th century, well, the Spaniards never paid much attention to it.

Guam is part of the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean. It is located at the southernmost tip of the Mariana Islands. In the 1760s, Guam became a Spanish colony. At that time, there were about 50,000 Chamoros on the island. By 1720, there were no more than 2,000 Chamorroes on the island, which shows how **** the Spanish colonial rule was.

In view of the population crisis in Spain, the Spanish had to implement a Huairou policy on the Chamorro people in the late period of the rule of Guam. However, it was too late at this time. Until now, the island has no more than 5,000 residents, so Guam is at the bottom of the food chain in Spain's colonial system. If there were only so few colonies left in Spain, perhaps the Spaniards would not have stationed in Guam.

Even with a garrison, a troop of more than a hundred people could not cause any trouble to the Pacific Fleet. After all, the fighting will of the Spaniards was incomparable to the Japanese of the twentieth century. During World War II, Guam became the most difficult One of the **** battlefields, but now in the nineteenth century, George Dewey did not associate Guam with the word "bloody".

"Okay, in fact, I still think that the advice given by General Bai of Ryukyu is worth trying. The people's mind in the Philippines is unstable. We only need to pay a small price to make the Spaniards care for themselves. If the price we pay is large, For one thing, we don't even need to send a fleet to drive the Spaniards from the Far East. "Chris Graham did not know Bai Qi, but this did not prevent Chris Graham's appreciation of Bai Qi.

Yes, it is appreciation. Although the word is a bit condescending, an American general has enough mental advantages in front of a Ryukyu general, even if the general Bai Qi also has American nationality. Minute.

Bai Qi's suggestion to George Dewey is very simple, that is, to stir up the contradictions between the Spanish colonists and the Filipino indigenous people, and use the Filipino indigenous people to drive away the Spaniards, to the point of failure, can also cause trouble to the Spaniards. In direct proportion to how much support the Pacific Fleet can provide, Bai Qi tends to spare no effort.

"This, we still have to think carefully. After all, we are still in Hawaii. If we want to provide support to the Filipinos, we can only do it through the Ryukyus. Then there is a problem. When the Spanish are driven away, the Philippines People are more inclined to Ryukyu people or to us. Although Ryukyu people are now our friends, this relationship is not strong in the interests. "George Dewey thinks a lot, but it is not unfounded. Hawaii is far from the Far East. -It's too far.

Speaking of "provocation", George Dewey, who already knows the restoration process of the Japanese shogunate, knows that Bai Qi is a good player. It was because of the Ryukyu people's provocation that the Meiji government of Japan failed. The result is the intelligence analysis that George Dewey now has. Although the shogunate regained its rule in Japan, it was not the shogun generals but the Ryukyus who really had the final say in Japan. With this lesson learned, George Dewey had to guard.

"I don't think this has to worry. We all know Bai Qi's background and how the Ryukyu people are independent. So I believe that the Ryukyu people will never treat us like the Japanese shogunate. Besides, we still have Lim. Ace cards, so Ryukyu people dare not make trouble. "Chris Graham is confident in Li Mu. Of course, the horse steed recruited cowboys to Ryukyu did not conceal anyone, subverting a country with an enterprise, which sounds a bit absurd, but There are even more ridiculous things, so Chris Graham does not think that he would dare to steal the victory of the Pacific fleet.

"Ha, Chris, don't have too much confidence in Riem. In general, I believe Riem will take care of the overall situation, but in the face of a country as big as the Philippines, can you guarantee that Riem will not be tempted? Not to mention, if Rem would then deny the relationship with the Ryukyu government, then what will we do? Send a gendarmerie to bring Rim torture and torture it? Don't make fun, I'm afraid the gendarmerie hasn't arrived in New York yet, our commission will Come faster. "George Dewey still didn't want to take risks. Based on George Dewey's understanding of Li Mu, although Li Mu is unlikely to tear his face with Washington, why should he pin his hope on the torture of human nature? This is unfair in itself.

Some people say "human nature is good" and some people say "human nature is evil". Actually, good and evil are relative. When Hitler was so anti-human, and Eve was willing to accompany him to die, the key to the problem was not good and evil, but Because of the impact of the environment, if the Filipinos really drive out the Spaniards through Cuban-like methods, then no matter what choice Li Mu will make, it will be irresponsible to the country.

"So-okay-" Chris Graham gave up the argument, and it wasn't worth wasting saliva for something that hadn't happened yet.

"That's right, our opponent is Spain, not France, nor the United Kingdom, so we don't have to do so many extra moves. We just need to drive the fleet outside the port of Manila. If the Spaniards are acquaintances, they will Make the right choice. "George Dewey didn't want to introduce too many uncontrollable factors. Anyway, he can beat the Spaniards in such a solemn manner, so it is better to be safe.

Just as George Dewey and Chris Graham set their sights on the Philippines, Bai Qi and Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom Pan Tingzhen were also discussing the Pacific Fleet from Shikoku Island, a thousand miles away.

"The establishment of the Pacific Fleet by the Americans is definitely not just to deal with the Spaniards. The current Spain is not worthy of the US government's attention. The Americans want to make their own voices around the world and test the bottom line of the British and French at the same time. The Spaniard is just the chicken in front of the monkey. "Bai Qi has forgotten his U.S. nationality and played the role of Ryukyu War Minister wholeheartedly.

After the Shogunate resumed rule, Shikoku Island became another trophy for Li Mu. As compensation for the Ryukyu War, Shikoku Island was ceded to the Ryukyu Government by the Shogunate, and the Ryukyu Government then sold the Shikoku Island to the Junma Group for $ 300,000. The money also became the first revenue of the new government of Ryukyu.

What is slightly better than Shikoku Island is Hokkaido. After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government just started to develop Hokkaido on a large scale. Before you know, the Meiji government did not even have a decent administrative agency in Hokkaido, and the Ezo people in Hokkaido did not give in. Under the rule of the Meiji government, strictly speaking, in Hokkaido, the Meiji government and the Ezo people were still at war, and the restoration of the Shogunate interrupted the Japanese government ’s strategy of Hokkaido. Although these two years, Japanese people continue to smuggle through various methods. In Hokkaido, these illegal immigration activities have become illegal. The Ezo people in Hokkaido are even preparing to establish an independent country. Obviously, this is the result of a certain force's support afterwards.

"What we have to worry about now is whether the establishment of the Pacific Fleet will affect our Ryukyu. Some time ago we signed an agreement with the Pacific Fleet. This means that the Pacific Fleet ships can enter our port at will, even if we and General George Dewey The relationship is good, but we can't guarantee what other people think. "Pan Tingzhen doesn't care about any Spaniard or Filipino. Pan Tingzhen only cares about Ryukyu and only the 60,000 Chinese in Ryukyu.

After several years of hard work, the number of Chinese in Ryukyu is constantly rising, from more than 5,000 in the beginning to more than 60,000. In contrast, the rapid decline of Ryukyu natives and the launch of the Ryukyu War in Japan Before, there were nearly 300,000 people in Ryukyu. In the past few years, 300,000 people have fallen to less than 200,000. Of course, some of them have emigrated to the United States. The large number of projects of the new government is also one of the reasons for the rapid decline in population. .

The population has fallen so much, it sounds cruel, but this situation is being played out all over the world. Although the Ryukyu people are decreasing rapidly, the Ryukyu people haven't died out. This is quite lucky compared with many peoples. So no one noticed what was going on in Ryukyu.

"What do you think? When the Americans beat the Spaniards, they also wiped out our Ryukyu? Don't make fun, the Americans don't have that appetite, and those politicians in Washington don't dare. Even if the Americans defeat the Spanish, the United States People also have to look at the reactions of the British and French before they can determine the next move. Until then, we are all safe. "Bai Qi was completely worried. This is rooted in Bai Qi's judgment. But it is also very guilty. After the United States wins the Philippines, it must first digest for a while, and then find the next prey.

Of course, the length of this digestion time is still open to question. After all, the Spaniards have been operating in the Philippines for hundreds of years. Even if the United States wants to eradicate the Spanish influence in the Philippines, it can't be done in three or two years, let alone, Some people make trouble, and the speed of digestion of the Philippines by the United States will increase accordingly, and what will happen at that time may be uncertain.

"But after that?" Pan Tingzhen obviously thought farther. It would be better if there was a way to do it once and for all so that Pan Tingzhen could sleep at night.
