The entire Shangri-La Island (formerly known as New Guinea or Irian Island) looks vast and has more than 1,300 attached islands. It seems too big and it is a little unaware of its ability to start.

Actually not

The entire island can only occupy two towns, one east and one west. It is said that the towns have praised him, so it should be about the same two small fishing ports.

Other places and islands are deserted forests, mountains and swamps. What's the use of occupying them?

To the east is Port Moresby on the coast of Papua, which is the beautiful fjord where the fleet is moored. As a transit port for ocean-going ships, there are about a hundred white people and more than 2,000 local indigenous people living here.

In addition to dozens of wooden bungalows in the port, the rest are low thatched houses of local natives, scattered in the middle, with a primitive tropical style.

The so-called port is a trest bridge made of wood, about 120 meters long and can dock more than 3,000 tons of ships. No matter how big a ship is, it will not work.

Large-tonnage ocean-going ships must be anchored in deep water, and local natives row small sampans and transport sailors on the boat to the shore to have two drinks, and find an indigenous woman to have fun.

The required supplies are also transported to the anchorage by boat by boat. This is the main way for local indigenous people to survive, which is to provide coal, fresh water and fresh fruits and vegetables to the passing ships.

In the west of Shangri-La, Chayapra, a small fishing port established by the Dutch, needs to be occupied. Now there is no time to deal with them, so I can only talk about it after a while.

Under the blue sea and blue sky

Five Seagull-class patrol ships were anchored by the trestle in turn, and the Taishan Ocean freighter was also anchored by the trestle. The other two 5,000-ton freighters could only break down at the anchorage and wait until half of the cargo was unloaded before entering the port.

This powerful momentum had already alarmed the locals in Port Moresby. Dozens of white men came up with guns in their hands, all gathered by the trestle and pointed at the group of uninvited guests.

Li Fushou sat under the awning behind the Mount Tai wheel, drinking afternoon tea leisurely, and accompanied the waiter and his secretary Wu Xuewen respectfully.

He doesn't need to direct these trivial matters, so naturally someone will handle them properly.

As the boss of the general manager, Li Fushou only needs to see the scenery and have a cup of afternoon tea, oh... By the way, he will also be cured.

Now it should not be called the secretary Wu Xuewen, but the chief supervisor of Shangri-La, Wu Xuewen, a young hero who is determined to show his strength in Shangri-La.

As one of the famous "Nine Wolves of the Hongmen" in the Secretariat, Wu Xuewen is characterized by steady behavior, loyal and reliable people, strong overall view, familiar with all aspects of civil affairs, and strong ability to act.

Therefore, Li Fushou gave Shangri-La Island to him with confidence, and I believe he would not be disappointed.

This group of nine secretaries, Li Fushou, has been tempered by his side for three and a half years. Now they can all be of great use. The next step is to put them on the side of each department and become the core backbone of the Red River Valley forces.

Pang Xuehai, Dai Yingcai, Luo Qianjin, Fan Zhongzhai, Zhang Li, Hou Guangde, Tian Shan, Wu Xuewen and Li Jie, totaling nine people, collectively known as the "Nine Wolves of Hongmen", and the outside world also calls them the second phase of the Personal Guards.

As for the first phase of the Personal Guard, of course, they are five former secretaries who are now the only ones, and are called the "Five Tiger Generals of the Hongmen".

These second batch of secretaries after the Five Tiger Generals were carefully selected young talents. After Li Fushou's careful training, they have successively entered important positions.

The first to emerge was Pang Xuehai, who served as the Director of the Red River Valley Security Department, and played an outstanding role in dealing with native white women in Central America and internal instability factors.

The second is Dai Yingcai, who formed the "Black Guard" and invented the "sound collector", which is the most mysterious department to date.

Hou Guangde served as the manager of General Machinery Company, and lived up to expectations to solve the production problems of hand-held tractors and made new contributions to the industrial development of the Red River Valley.

Fan Zhongzhai is currently the Director of the Secretariat. He can view and solve problems from a global perspective and has a good global vision and strategic awareness. He is a talent worth continuing to cultivate.

Tian Shan serves as deputy director of the Secretariat and convener of the Zhigong Party. This is a talented person with strong execution. The master's orders are unconditionally implemented and never mix with any personal ideas.

Luo Qianjin replaced Old Mike as the mayor of Songjiang Town. The dazzling halo of this southern star town is indispensable for his outstanding contributions.

Li Jie returned from the US Naval Academy and is currently the captain of the "Batarheaded Goose", deputy captain of the Queensland Coast Guard, and a promising naval officer.

Zhang Li was appointed as the mayor of Beilun Town, and Pan Shoudao, who assisted in the overall economic development of various towns in the south, was mainly responsible for all matters of Beilun Town, and performed extremely well.

Wu Xuewen serves as the chief manager of Shangri-La and will write his own excitement on this vast land.

On board the Taishan freighter

Li Fushou took a leisurely sip of tea and looked at Wu Xuewen who was sitting next to him with a restrained look. He felt like a child was growing up.

In fact, Wu Xuewen is 7 years older than him and is already 28 this year.

But Li Fushou felt this way and chuckled and said, "I will leave it to you in the future. As a tropical rainforest area, it is not suitable for the development of animal husbandry. Immigration is mainly about agriculture and sidelines. The focus is on developing fishing and port transit. Don't be greedy for the big picture. Many conditions here are not met."

"Master, learn civilization and understand it clearly. You must take steady steps one by one."

"Haha..." Li Fushou chuckled and looked at Wu Xuewen with a kind expression and said, "Xuewen, you will be a member of the country in the future. Shangri-La can make decisions on anything, and there is no need to report everything. The title of master cannot be mentioned in formal occasions. You should call him Your Excellency Earl."

"Master, I...I understand." Wu Xuewen raised his body and bowed his hand. Li Fushou waved his hand gently and said, "You don't need to be too polite to learn literature. You and I will chat for a while. After you get ashore, everything will be plagued by you and I may not have time to settle down. Tell me what you think in your heart!"

"As for orders, sir."

Wu Xuewen sat half of his butt on the chair, and his upper body was straight. This respectful attitude made Li Fushou very satisfied. Although he didn't have to be too restrictive, as a superior, who doesn't like his subordinates like this?

Red River Valley advocates new customs and does not advocate kneeling every time, but it does not oppose it toughly. Stubborn customs require time to change slowly.

Think carefully

Wu Xuewen said, "Xuewen is under the command of the master. He has been teaching his life for several years and has been privately trying to figure out how he handles things. Although he can't learn anything, he thinks he has found a little trick."

"Oh, let's talk about it." Li Fushou was very interested.

"Then you will be rude and say something without any presumption."

“Though said.”

Wu Xuewen cleared his throat and said, "I am fortunate to follow the master to travel to Europa, and gradually gain some self-knowledge of the world. The powerful will always be strong, and the truth is within the range of the cannon.

Turning your attention back to Shangri-La Island, I think the first thing we should do is to control all ships out, control the channels for communication between a very small number of white people and the outside world, and leave us with a certain amount of development time.

The master allowed the humble servant to invite some immigrants from the southern coastal areas to move here. I think that I, the Chinese people, have the same language and ethnicity, have no obstacles in communication, which will greatly benefit the next step of governance.

I want to implement two solutions;

A free allocation of land allows Huitong Bank to provide loans to immigrants, helping them build village homes, purchase necessary production and daily necessities such as oxen, agricultural tools, seeds, etc., have independent production and living capabilities, and allow agricultural and animal husbandry products to offset loans.

A type of loan repayment is paid by work. Immigration works for Victoria for three years to repay loans (immigration loans), and during which I am given good living benefits and small-scale financial remuneration.

After the expiration, you can run a farm independently, apply for employees, workers and fishermen, do business and buy property, and you can choose for yourself.

This way

Shangri-La has reduced many resettlement burdens and can use large-scale reclaimed wastelands by immigrants to quickly build rural areas.

With a abundant labor supply, Shangri-La can build complete port facilities, including warehouses, docks and transportation, providing better logistics resupply services for ocean-going freighters.

at the same time

We can establish new towns according to the Red River Valley model, establish complete sewer facilities and roads, entertainment facilities and industrial facilities, especially seafood canned processing plants and fishing boat construction plants, which are our next development goals.

After initially gaining a foothold, I will send water conservancy experts to form several teams to survey the nearby terrain and environment, and strive to build a small and medium-sized reservoir to provide sufficient energy supply for further development.

In addition, it is necessary to organize expert survey resources to make long-term plans for the next step of development.

Follow the instructions of the master

Victoria must first become a self-sustaining agricultural area. The next step will be to develop rubber planting, encourage the establishment of private farms, encourage fishermen to go into the sea to fish, and develop the economy based on the characteristics of Victoria's local resources.

This is a simple point of humble position. Please criticize and correct me.”

"Okay... OK..." Li Fushou couldn't help but applaud and said with a smile; "I said it very well, those people..."

Li Fushou raised his chin towards the pier and asked, "What are you going to do? You can't keep it closed."

"Weizhi believes that these people need to be identified and some of the deep backgrounds need to be given appropriate courtesy. Please stay here for a longer period of time. As long as you control the ships leaving the port, you will not be able to make a big wave."

Wu Xuewen has been thinking about this question for a long time and his answers are extremely smooth; "Some of the thorns should be cut and the ones should be killed, you don't have to be polite. After we have completely controlled this place, everything will be decided by the Red River Valley."

Li Fushou listened quietly, not expressing his approval or objection, but looked at the chaotic thatched hut in the distance.

Wu Xuewen said with understanding, "These indigenous people live a tribal life with slash and fire. They belong to the primeval forest. I personally think it is better not to disturb them, let them return to the primeval forest!"

"Well, pay attention to the methods. Some indigenous people who are unwilling to return to the original forest can help them migrate, give them some benefits or canned sausages, etc. Just move to a small island, and the small island near Java Island is good." Li Fushou explained with a faint expression, which determined the fate of all the indigenous people on this island.

There is no need to wave the butcher knife, it is really a bad reputation.

Just spend some money and resources to help them immigrate. There are thousands of islands around Java. Where is the primeval forest not life?

Is this the reason?

"I don't think well about my job well, please punish me." Wu Xuewen's attitude was very correct.

Li Fushou waved his hand casually, looked at Wu Xuewen with relief and said, "I'm very relieved to hand over Victoria to you."

Once this statement is made

Wu Xuewen felt the heavy trust and couldn't help but stand up and bow to the ground, and answered inexplicably gratefully; "Thank you with the great trust of the master, Xuewen will not be able to repay you even if you are heartbroken. You will work diligently to build Shangri-La, making it a dazzling pearl in the South Pacific. This is Xuewen's vow, and you will not regret it even if you die a hundred times!"

"Okay, okay!" Li Fushou stood up, helped Wu Xuewen up with both hands, patted his shoulder hard and said, "This is the best. Let us work together to build a Chinese paradise. When we were old, we would live up to this life!"

"I am willing to work with a horse after studying literature and work hard for dogs and horses."

"Hahaha...you and I will encourage each other."

By the trestle

The representatives sent by the fleet were in a bad negotiation with dozens of white men guarding the trestle. These white men were extremely tough and demanded that the fleet respect their exclusive rights. This was the new home they built. The fleet was a malicious person who broke into rashly without invitation and had to withdraw from Port Moresby immediately, or even stay away from the Papua Gulf.

Several white men even protested and showed a tough stance of never giving in. The fleet must leave immediately, otherwise they would fight for a bloody battle.

Since the agreement cannot be reached, it is time to show off your muscles.

The black hole of the 239mm main gun on the Seagull and the Puffin was lifted up and aimed at the messy buildings in Port Moresby, which made a group of tough-minded white men look panicked.

"Target port, fire!"

"Boom, boom..."

With a deafening roar, the 239mm cannon finally showed its hideous side. The huge flames illuminated the trestle. The shells that were out of the bore instantly blasted into the residential area of ​​the port. Only two dazzling black clouds were seen rising, the earth was shaking, and the houses collapsed.

"Da da da...da da da da da..."

The hand-cranked Gatling heavy machine gun spitted flames, whipping not far from the pier like a flame whip waving by the god of death, splashing soil and shattering the grass and trees. This is a serious warning shot.

A team of fully armed militiamen walked off the Taishan Wheel, striding all the way, and dismissed a group of white men who had already scared. They spoke directly with the butt stock to the person who was not rude to the slightest. A rude stock fell to the ground, and his face was suddenly filled with blood.

It’s useless to shout to the sky. It’s just so tough, so domineering, and so unreasonable.
Chapter completed!
