1825 My New Daming

Chapter 508 I Come, I See You, I Stop! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning falls on the broad Nicaragua Lake, this lake in the middle of Central America, which has been calm for centuries, begins a new busy day.In the past few years, the Great Lake, which was almost isolated from the rest of the world, suddenly became a center of attention because of a world war between East and West.

Although it is not too far from the Caribbean-Texas-Florida battlefield of the World War, the smoke of the war does not float on Lake Nicaragua.It is a huge Nicaraguan canal project that can be called a miracle of human engineering. It has been working day and night for the past few years, and it has been advancing at the speed of construction madness-this project is not done by lazy Mexicans, but by countless people. Tens of thousands of workaholic Japanese laborers use gasoline, diesel and electric-driven construction machinery manufactured by Ming Dynasty, and work quickly under the command of Ming engineers.This is the fusion of two generations of infrastructure madmen from another timeline!The progress of this project is not the same as flying?It takes more than ten to several decades (depending on the year of the white leather) to replace it with white leather. In just a few years, more than half of the work has been completed. Now there is a one-way waterway from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. The ship has been built!
This waterway from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean is not as simple as digging a ditch.Because the water levels of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean are high and low, and there are some highlands along the canal that cannot be avoided at all.Therefore, many locks have to be built at both ends of the canal to raise or lower ships.And this 177-kilometer-long and 58-kilometer-wide Lake Nicaragua has reduced the amount of engineering work for the Nicaragua Canal. After borrowing the surface of Lake Nicaragua, there are only more than 276 kilometers left for the 100-kilometer canal. , the amount of work has been reduced by more than half.Otherwise, the first phase of the canal project would have been impossible to complete ahead of schedule in March 1833 anyway!

The progress of the canal project and the earlier completion date not only surprised the officials of the Mexican Empire who participated in the canal project, but also made the spies of the Western countries responsible for monitoring the canal scolded by their superiors more than once. After spending so much money, I finally found out the exact completion date of the first phase of the canal project from the Mexicans. It is not halfway through yet, so why is it all finished?Is this spy fund embezzled by you?
Second Lieutenant Thomas Bond from the United Kingdom and Second Lieutenant Andrew Hoover from the United States are two unlucky guys who were cheated of secret service funds by the Mexicans—they spent a lot of money to buy Nicaragua from the Mexican Army Engineering Bureau. The design drawings and engineering plan of the canal project were criticized after being brought back. The superior said that after discussion and research by the expert group, the project could not be completed on time according to the plan. The plan was to finish it in 8 years, but the United States and the United Kingdom Most experts agree that it will take at least 10 to 15 years to complete.So they got scammed and are all idiots!
As a result, the project was completed in a little over 3 years, and it will be open to navigation soon!
So, the two of them are still idiots, and they were cheated by the Mexicans. This is really unjust. They were cheated by the Mexicans once, but they were scolded twice, and their positions were stuck for three years without any increase!The classmates who graduated from the military academy with them are now at least captains who have not been killed or disabled.But they are still hovering at the rank of second lieutenant!

To make matters worse, both of them were originally high-level secret agents in Mexico City, and as diplomats of the Kingdom of Sweden or the Swiss Confederation, they went in and out of luxurious places, met Mexican ladies, and did their jobs without any hardship .

But because of their mistakes, they are all brown in the sun, and then assigned to operate fishing boats on Lake Nicaragua, and monitor the navigation of the canal nearby.

Since the United Kingdom and the United States have always been close allies, the two agents became partners. Together, they bought a steam fishing boat as Italian immigrants and began fishing on the Nicaragua Canal to sell to nearby Japanese labor camps. Of course, Fishing and selling money is all a pretense, and their main business is to keep an eye on the canal. Whenever a large Chinese warship passes by, they will immediately report to the above.

But recently, Second Lieutenant Thomas Bond has been unable to contact his family, and his British Empire is about to disappear!
Because the empire was about to disappear, Second Lieutenant Thomas Bond no longer worked hard, and drank drunk all day long.If it wasn't for the orders from the superiors, Andrew Hoover would have kicked him into Lake Nicaragua to feed the sharks if he looked at this Bond!

Early this morning, while Andrew Hoover was writing a report to his superiors in code words in the cabin with his head bowed, he suddenly heard Major Thomas Bond yelling: "It's so big, so big, so big! Battleship!"

Drunk again!

Hoover irritatedly dropped the half-written report, and then got out of the cabin. The sun was shining outside the cabin. He followed Thomas Bond's voice, and then stood on the deck blankly.

Because he also saw a huge city-like battleship with a displacement of at least 1000 to [-] tons, being dragged down by a small tugboat with a displacement of less than [-] tons, slowly heading towards him!
"This is, this is" Hoover is a second lieutenant who graduated from the Virginia Military Academy and is not very familiar with naval ships.But his good partner Bond is a navy, and has already recognized who the battleship in front of him is.

Bond's voice was a little trembling, and he said: "This is more than one Dazhou-class battleship of Ming Dynasty! God, they are here, they are really here!"

Of course there is more than one!

There are already six Dazhou-class ships in service, namely Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, and Wei, and half of them are given to the Pacific Fleet.Now there is no war in the Pacific Ocean, and a large Zhou-class ship is useless in the Pacific Ocean.So Zhuge Weidao pulled all three large battleships with a full load displacement of 3.7 tons to the Atlantic Ocean!
Together with them, there are 6 fleet aircraft carriers named after provinces!
3 large battleships plus 6 large aircraft carriers. All are rushing to the backyard of the United States of America!

From now on, they will be permanently stationed in Guantanamo, and when they have time, they will go to the east coast of the United States for a walk, and ask Americans if they are afraid?If you're not afraid, that's okay. In the future, you can deploy long-range bombers and ballistic missiles in Cuba to aim at New York, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia and so on every day. This is called containment!
The admiral of the newly formed Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Navy, Zhuge is the Viscount General of Dao. At this moment, he is standing in the command tower of the battleship Da Zhou with his arms folded, looking at the sparkling Lake Nicaragua, his heart is surging.

Just when he was sighing, Guo Xiaobao, the chief of staff of the Atlantic Fleet, had already walked over with a telegram, smiling: "My lord, I just received a telegram from the Wuzhong Wang. The advance team of the Atlantic Fleet has passed through the canal safely." , After entering the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, it will take another 8 hours at the latest before the advance team can complete the tactical deployment!"

"Very good!" Zhuge Weidao nodded, "Give power to Beijing—I'll come, I'll see, I'll stop there from being an invincible United States of America!"
