When the first ray of sunshine in the morning falls on the wide Lake Nicaragua, this lake in the middle of Central America, which has been calm for countless centuries, begins a new busy day. In the past few years, this lake has been almost as busy as
The isolated Great Lakes suddenly became the focus of global attention due to a world war between the East and the West.
Although it is not too far from the Caribbean-Texas-Florida battlefield of the World War, the smoke of the war cannot float to Lake Nicaragua. Instead, it is a huge Nicaragua Canal project that can be called a miracle of human engineering. It has been working day and night for the past few years.
Construction has started and is progressing at the speed of an infrastructure madman - this project is not being done by lazy Mexicans, but by tens of thousands of Japanese workers who are called workaholics, using construction machinery manufactured by Daming that is driven by gasoline, diesel and electricity.
, working hard under the command of Ming engineers. This is the fusion of two generations of infrastructure madmen from another timeline! Isn’t the progress of this project as fast as flying? It would take more than ten to decades for a white-skinned person to work
(Look at the year of the white skin) project, more than half of it has been completed in just a few years. Now there is a one-way waterway from the Pacific to the Atlantic, which has been completed and can be used for shipping!
This waterway from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean is not as simple as digging a ditch. Because the water levels in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean are high and low, and there are some highlands along the canal that cannot be avoided. Therefore, a lot of construction is required at both ends of the canal.
Locks are used to raise or lower ships. The 177-kilometer-long and 58-kilometer-wide Lake Nicaragua has reduced a lot of engineering work for the Nicaragua Canal—the entire 276-kilometer canal borrowed the structure of Lake Nicaragua.
After the lake, there were only more than 100 kilometers left, and the project volume was reduced by more than half. Otherwise, the first phase of the canal project would never have been completed ahead of schedule in March 1833!
The progress of the canal project and the advanced and advanced completion date not only surprised the officials of the Mexican Empire who participated in the canal construction, but also made the spies of Western countries who were responsible for monitoring the canal more than once scolded by their superiors - Hua
After spending so much money, we finally found out from the Mexicans the exact completion date of the first phase of the canal project. It’s not even halfway through yet, so how come it’s all finished? Have you embezzled this secret service fund?
Second Lieutenant Thomas Bond from the United Kingdom and Second Lieutenant Andrew Hoover from the United States were two unlucky guys who were defrauded by the Mexicans of their secret service funds. They spent a lot of money to buy Nicaragua from the Mexican Army Engineering Bureau.
The design drawings and project plans of the canal project were criticized when they were brought back. The superiors said that after discussion and research by the expert group, it was impossible to complete the project on time according to the plan. The plan was to complete it in 8 years, but the United States and the United Kingdom
Experts all thought it would take at least 10 to 15 years to complete. So they were deceived and they were all fools!
The result: It was completed in a little over three years and will be open to navigation soon!
Therefore, the two of them were still stupid and let the Mexicans deceive them. This was really unfair. They were deceived by the Mexicans once, but in the end they were scolded twice and their positions were stuck for three years without any improvement!
The classmates who graduated from the military academy with them, those who have not been killed or disabled in action are at least captains. But they are still lingering on the rank of second lieutenant!
What's even worse is that both of them were working as senior spies in Mexico City. As diplomats of the Kingdom of Sweden or the Swiss Confederation, they went in and out of luxurious places, picked up Mexican ladies, and did their jobs without any hardship.
.
However, due to their mistakes, they are now brown after being exposed to the sun, and then assigned to operate fishing boats on Lake Nicaragua, and monitor the navigation situation of the canal nearby.
Since Britain 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 are just a pretense. Their main job is to keep an eye on the canal. Whenever a large Chinese warship passes by, they will immediately report it to the superiors.
But recently, Second Lieutenant Thomas Bond has been unable to contact his family. His British Empire is about to be destroyed!
Because the empire was about to disappear, Second Lieutenant Thomas Bond stopped working hard and got drunk all day long. If he hadn't been ordered by his superiors to watch this Bond, Andrew Hoover would have wanted to kick him.
He kicked into a Nicaraguan lake and fed the sharks!
Early this morning, Andrew Hoover was lowering his head in the cabin and writing a report to his superiors in code when he suddenly heard Major Thomas Bond yelling: "It's so big, so big, so big."
Battleship!"
Drunk again!
Hoover irritably dropped the half-written report in his hand, and then got out of the cabin. The sun was shining brightly outside the cabin. He looked over at Thomas Bond's voice, and then stood blankly on the deck.
Because he also saw a huge battleship that was as big as a city and had a displacement of at least 30,000 to 40,000 tons. It was being towed by a small tugboat with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons and was slowly heading towards him!
"This is, this is" Hoover was a second lieutenant who graduated from the Virginia Military Academy and was not very familiar with naval ships. However, his good partner Bond was a naval officer and had already recognized who the battleship in front of him was.
Bond's voice was a little trembling as he said: "This is the Ming Dynasty's Dazhou-class battleship. There are more than one! God, they are coming, they are really coming!"
Of course there is more than one!
There are already six Dazhou-class ships in service, namely Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, and Wei. Half of them have been given to the Pacific Fleet. There is no longer a war in the Pacific, and warships like the Dazhou-class are on the shelf.
The Pacific Ocean was of no use at all. So Zhuge Weidao pulled three fully loaded large battleships with a displacement of 37,000 tons to the Atlantic Ocean!
Together with them, there are 6 fleet carriers named after provinces!
3 large battleships and 6 large aircraft carriers. All of them are rushing to the backyard of the United States of America!
From now on, they will be stationed in Guantanamo, and when they have time, they will go to the east coast of the United States for a walk, and ask the Americans if they are afraid? If they are not, it doesn't matter. In the future, they can also deploy long-range bombers and ballistic missiles to Cuba to keep an eye on it every day.
New York, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, etc., this is called containment!
The Admiral of the newly formed Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Dynasty, Zhuge Wei, Viscount Dao, was standing in the command tower of the battleship Da Zhou with his arms folded, looking at the sparkling Lake Nicaragua, which made his heart surge.
Just when he was sighing with emotion, Guo Xiaobao, Chief of Staff of the Atlantic Fleet, had already walked over with a telegram and said with a smile: "Sir, I just received a telegram from the King Wuzhong. The advance detachment of the Atlantic Fleet has all passed through the canal safely.
, after entering the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the advance team will be able to complete the tactical deployment within 8 hours at the latest!"
"Very good!" Zhuge Weidao nodded, "Send power to Beijing - I'll come, I'll see, I'll stop it, there will be no more arrogant United States of America!"
Chapter completed!
