Although the Northern Navy flag was erected in Kinmen Town, there are still many things to do next.

Naturally, there is no need to find the location of the camp. The Spanish chose the fortress, which is very good. It is not far from the sea, and has also dug a well. However, after inspecting the fortress for a while, Ruchi was extremely dissatisfied with the quality of the building and the poor sanitation environment inside the fortress, and he decided to rebuild the new fortress in his mind.

Before he started, the first thing he had to solve was how to deal with the more than fifty detained Miwauk Indians.

Although Ruchi doesn't understand Spanish, he brought a translator. So in a confused look, the guy first said "Hola" to these people through his mask, and then took out the translator and released the "You are free" translated in advance.

Ruqi thought that with this hand, he could instantly add aura, so he changed his name to "Miracle". Unexpectedly, the Indian men and women who had been brainwashed by monks for many years all changed their faces. They kept retreating and were muttering a word - Diablo.

Have! Failed to show off...

Ruqi was so depressed that he felt black. If the other party said something else, it might not be clear. The problem was that he was too familiar with a certain game in another time and space, and immediately understood that people were saying that he was a demon.

In desperation, he had to put away the translator and ordered Li Shi, who was beside him to bring some food and water to these Indians, and then lay a blanket for each of them overnight, and let them all get out tomorrow morning and go wherever they like. In addition, he also specifically reminded Li Shi not to have physical contact with these people, and must not take off his mask and gloves at close range.

Li Shi asked the reason for it in confusion. In fact, as soon as he entered the fortress gate, Ruchi ordered all soldiers to wear masks and want to drink water and eat, he had to return to the temporary camp near the fortress. The first thing he had to do after returning was to wash his hands.

"Why? They have been with the Spanish for a long time, and they may have infectious diseases." Ruchi pointed to a woman with red spots on her face and said, "Did you see? That's the disease."

Li Shi was shocked and said in surprise: "Sir, what disease is that?"

"Flowers and willows! They can be transmitted through saliva. As well as yellow fever and diphtheria, they can be transmitted!"

"He has to do it!" Li Shi was so scared that he was sweating coldly, and his Henan hometown dialect blurted out. Chai Rong and Chen Yingqi, who were standing behind him, also had pale faces.

You should know that before coming to North America, Ruqi did a lot of homework. The reason why he did not bring his newly engaged fiancée and did not let the overseas corps bring his family was because he was worried about infectious diseases.

Since the 16th century, the deadliest weapon of Westerners to the Native Americans was not guns, but infectious diseases caused by various bacteria, including smallpox, malaria, hemorrhagic fever, tuberculosis, yellow fever, influenza, cholera, plague...

Not to mention the distance, at this time, a yellow fever pandemic almost ravaged Philadelphia. In just three months, more than 5,000 people were killed and the entire city was in panic; tens of thousands of people, including federal, state and municipal officials, fled in panic.

The source of this plague was Haiti, which was in turmoil. Due to the large number of black uprisings in the area, the French could not resist it. So when the French who escaped from Haiti came to Philadelphia with their slaves, the disaster came.

The problem is that it would be fine if it was the French alone. Since 1791, the British and Spanish have also sent troops to invade because of their coveting plantations there.

Who knows if the Spaniards who lived in the fortress have ever been to Haiti? Moreover, the winter in California is not that cold!

If this is to cause infection, only Ruqi and Wang Yuanfang who have been vaccinated will survive. Moreover, yellow fever has no special medicine when it comes to fever, so they can only be treated by resting in bed and replenishing electrolytes.

Luqi did not expect that after his words were exaggerated by Chen Yingqi and Chai Rong, they immediately caused panic among the more than 200 soldiers in the Corps. At night, no one was willing to go to the fortress compound to be on duty, and at most they would guard outside the door.

When Li Shi was picking up blankets for the Indians from the supplies he brought ashore, he thought it was a pity to use military blankets for these guys, so he took more than fifty outdoor first aid blankets by himself. This thing was purchased by Zhao Xin from another time and space, mainly to allow soldiers to get an emergency avoidance of the cold when performing missions in the field. After all, the PET membrane is extremely light and does not occupy any space when putting it in the bag.

Unexpectedly, because the outer layer of the first aid blanket was plated into double-sided silver in order to keep warm, this thing became a treasure in the eyes of Indians, and later triggered a series of effects.

The next morning, several soldiers were wrapped from head to toe at the command of Li Shi, and only a crack was left in their eyes, which scared the Indians. They soon led the gun soldiers to the outside of the fortress gate. Several soldiers gave them a bag of food, waved their hands to make gestures to let them go, and said the "libertad" that Ruqi taught them.

More than fifty Indians also saw that these outsiders with similar faces as theirs were very disgusted with them. However, they were still very happy to be free and have food to take.

As soon as the Indians left, Ruchi ordered the military doctors who accompanied him to dispose of disinfectant water. He planned to first disinfect the fortress, and then demolish all buildings, especially the monastery.

He was nervous and busy, and Wang Yuanfang, who was on the Thunder God, was not idle either. There were still a lot of supplies on the ship to be delivered ashore, and it was estimated that it would take at least three or five days to complete the entire transportation.

On November 22, 1793, a group of radio waves came from the Thor located in the Kinmen Strait, and finally arrived in Beihai Town through two relay stations located on Unaraska Island and Dabo Town.

It goes without saying that Dabo Town on Kuye Island, but the Unarasca Relay Station located in the eastern part of the Aleutian Islands was set up by Wang Yuanfang on the way to come.

Unarasca is the second largest island in the Aleutian Islands and is known as the "birthplace of wind". From this name, you can tell how harsh the environment here is.

Even so, the Thor's ship-mounted engineers took more than two weeks to build a relay station tower and a small-scale soldier station in the settlement on the northern coast, leaving behind a three-person communication group and a squad of soldiers. Ruchi told the on-duty personnel that there would be someone to rotate at most six months.

The dozens of Russians on the island dared not be dissatisfied with the arrival of Beihai Town, especially dozens of overseas soldiers wearing cold-proof clothes and holding weapons landed in assault boats and killed several guys who resisted with weapons. The person in charge in charge had to come and negotiate with white flags, saying that these people were all "honest" businessmen and everything was misunderstanding.

Haha, misunderstanding?

Fifty-two years ago - in 1741, the Danish Vitus Bering and the Russian Alexei Chirikov were commissioned by the Tsarist Russian Empire to explore the North Pacific on St. Peter and St. Paul. During this period, the ship was separated by a storm, Chirikov discovered several islands in the eastern part of the Aleutian Islands, while Bering discovered several islands in the western part.

Many people on earth knew about what happened later that Bering died of scurvy in the Komandorsky Islands, and the survivors returned to Okhotsk and reported that a large number of fur animals were found on the Aleutian Islands. So Siberian fur hunters flocked and gradually crossed the Aleutian Islands to Alaska.

In 1759, the fur merchant Stepan Glotov landed on the Unaraska shore and set it as a stronghold. Only four years later, due to the cruelty and greed of the Russian merchants, the local Aleutians forced to work for them and pay fur taxes, and also took their families as hostages, which eventually triggered large-scale resistance from the Aleutians.

Afterwards, the Russians launched bloody revenge, with at least 5,000 natives killed, and the Aleutians on the entire island suddenly decreased by two-thirds.

By 1768, Unaraska Island became the main port of Tsarist Russia in the region. The fur obtained from the islands were traded there and then transported back to Okhotsk by merchant ship. Four years later, the island became a permanent settlement for the Russians.

If we follow the trajectory of another time and space, the next step that the Russians have to do is establish a "Russia-US Trading Company", start a 19-year North American trade monopoly, and gradually devour Alaska.

However, in this time and space, everything was completely changed by the "Battle of Usolier" three years ago. Since the forces of the Tsarist Russian Empire were completely driven out of East and West Siberia, no matter in Okhotsk or Kamchatka, all the merchants who coveted fur profits could only be loyal to Beihai Town, otherwise they would not even be able to sell a piece of skin.

You should know that although Beihai Town now controls the entire East and West Siberia, because the Okhotsk and the Kamchatka Peninsula are too far and extremely cold, it is still controlled by a group of fur merchants. Zhao Xin was happy that this was also true. Anyway, the water and land transportation to the West were controlled, and the Russian merchants could not make any money.

After receiving the telegram, Zhao Xin learned that Wang Yuanfang and the others were currently making progress, he immediately notified the Navy to ask the "Java" sailboat to immediately go to Whale Port to ship supplies, and set off a week later to be responsible for transporting the second batch of supplies to Kinmen Town.

The Jaguar is the second fly-scissor ship built by the Beihai Town Shipyard. It is 68.88 meters long, 12.13 meters wide, with a draft of 6.4 meters and a full load displacement of 1,550 tons. The ship is equipped with 50 crew members and is equipped with four 75mm cannons and four heavy machine guns.

The entire ship includes keels, the secondary keels and the main middle mast are all made of teak wood, with rib frames, side outer plates and decks of each layer of welded and riveted steel plates, and the parts below the hull waterline are covered with copper skin. In addition, a 600-horsepower medium and high-speed diesel engine is also installed in the lower compartment in the middle of the hull to drive the double-sided propellers at the tail.

This fly-scissor cargo ship took eight months to be built and launched. Later, after several trial voyages, it changed and reinforced parts that were easily damaged by strong winds. Its fastest speed record is 16 to 17 knots.

At present, it is estimated that the Jaguar departs from Whale Port and heads east along the Aleutian Islands. Including the stop time, it will take almost 25 days to reach Kinmen Town.

If nothing unexpected happens this time, the shipyard in Beihai Town will use it as a template to build at least fifteen large-scale fly-scissors of the same model to meet the increasingly tense demand for maritime capacity.

Just as Ruchi led his men to carry out large-scale demolition work on the Spanish fortress until the third day, on the Thor who was mooring in the strait, the second mate who was on duty in the cockpit noticed on the radar screen that two boats were sailing from north to south five kilometers away, along the coastline.

After learning about this situation, Wang Yuanfang immediately ordered the entire ship to enter combat preparations, all the personnel transporting supplies returned to the ship, and notified Ruqi on the shore with a walkie-talkie.

"Comrade Lao Wang, is the ship coming from the north Russian? It's over."

"Unlike, those businessmen don't know that we'll come to California. It's over."

Half an hour later, the target appeared, a fleet of two brigs. However, when Wang Yuanfang saw the flag flying on the main mast through the telescope, he said in surprise: "Why are you British?"

......

Ten minutes ago, in the captain's room of the Discovery, a young officer on duty entered the house and reported: "Sir, we are about to arrive in San Francisco."

"Yes, this trip was far enough. Notify Lieutenant Broughton that we will stop here for two days, replenish fresh water, and then head to Monterey."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged officer with a medium figure. He had a big round face, a double chin, and bright eyes. The man's name was George Vancouver, a British Royal Navy captain and the commander of this fleet.

Well, in another time and space, including Vancouver City and Vancouver Island in Canada, as well as Vancouver in Washington, USA, Vancouver Mountain on the US-Canada border, and even Vancouver Mountain in New Zealand, are all named after him.

Vancouver is famous in history because of its expedition. From 1791 to 1794, his expedition team explored the Pacific coast of North America and drew detailed maps.

At this time, Vancouver said to another middle-aged man wearing glasses and casual clothes in the house, "Mr. Menzies, are you going to go ashore later?"

"Forget it, I hate Catholics, and I hate monk Virez here even more. That's a hypocritical guy."

"But there are Catholics in Monterrey. I'm saying why do you hate Catholics so much?"

"Catholics are a group of sinister people, don't even think of confession." The doctor began to gush. "They tried to overthrow the Congress. One of my best friends, you don't know how kind she is. She told me a lot about Catholics, and I forgot, but I know they are sinister and vicious. I can't trust them at all."

Vancouver was about to refute, but the door of the captain's room was pushed open suddenly. The officer on duty who had just left said to him with a look of panic on his face: "Sir, come and have a look. There is something wrong! A strange ship has come to the strait!"

When Vancouver and the Doctor arrived at the foredeck, the Thor, which was located on the strait, was only three nautical miles away. At this moment, there was no fog on the sea surface, and the field of vision was good, and the tall stern building of Thor was clearly visible. The British on both ships were all stunned. When they saw the flag hanging on the Thor through the telescope, they were even more confused.

"Mr. Menzies, have you heard of a country with white five-pointed stars painted on the flag?"

The doctor with the boat looked at it with a telescope for a while and said with a little memory: "I have never seen or heard of such a flag, but I have heard people mention such a boat in India."

“Hmm?”

"Captain, do you still remember the Dr. Higgins we met in Madras two years ago? He said that a few years ago, near the Pearl River in the Qing Empire, he had seen a large white ship, and he had visited the other party's ship. However, when the ship was leaving, it inexplicably bombarded their cargo warehouse on an island."

Vancouver's forehead buzzed and immediately recalled what happened. He immediately ordered the entire ship to prepare for battle and notified the Chatham. To be honest, both of his ships were exploration ships of the Royal Navy. He could still fight when he encountered a merchant ship, but he felt unsure of such a big thing in front of him.
Chapter completed!
