December 15, 1913, AD 2754, East China Sea.
On the blue sea, a fleet of more than a dozen cargo ships was sailing towards Ryukyu.
In front of them, a small fleet served as escort.
On the bridge of the leading destroyer Jiujiang, Li Ang was looking at the sea with a telescope.
At this time, a green shade had appeared in the distance where the sky and the sea met.
"We'll be there in about an hour.
I wonder if the Ryukyu side is ready," Li Ang said to himself.
At this time, a staff officer came over and asked: "Captain, the boss is planning to build a base in Ryukyu this time."
Li Ang replied: "It's not preparation, but it has been decided.
Those cargo ships behind us are used to transport preliminary construction materials."
"Oh, I heard that this base is very large."
The staff officer said.
"Yes, it is a very large base.
It requires a port that can park a large fleet, a maintenance dock of more than 30,000 tons, and a lot of supporting facilities.
This will be our forward base for the Pacific in the future.
We Three large bases will be built in the next few years, and the Ryukyu base is just one of them.
The Danguanwan base in the Kuril Islands in the north and the Truk base in the south will serve as advance bases in the North Pacific, Central Pacific, and South Pacific respectively.
Li Ang said with a smile.
"The Truk Islands are a great place, with a good natural harbor.
The islands there form a natural lagoon with an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers.
It will be no problem to put all the ships of our navy into it."
Another staff officer also said with a smile.
The forward base in the Pacific was planned after the purchase of the German Pacific Colony.
Wen Desi originally planned to establish a base on the Truk Islands.
The Truk Islands are located in the eastern part of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean.
They were part of the Federated States of Micronesia in the future of the original time and space.
This was originally a Spanish colony.
In 1898, in order to raise funds for the Spanish-American War, the Spaniards sold the entire Caroline Islands, including the Truk Islands, to Germany for 25 million pesetas.
Then in 1912 It was sold to China in the Sino-German secret agreement.
The Truk Islands are composed of 14 towering volcanic islands.
Each main island is surrounded by coral reefs and forms a lagoon, which is a natural harbor.
Especially the largest main island, Truk Island, is triangular in shape, with each side more than 60 kilometers long, and in the middle is a lagoon with a diameter of more than 60 kilometers.
It can be said to be a natural ship berthing port.
The strategic position here is very important.
It is at the throat of the South Pacific and is known as the "Gibraltar of the Pacific".
During World War II in the original time and space, this place was called "Japan's Pearl Harbor" and was the most important link in Japan's so-called "absolute defense circle" chain.
In the history of the original time and space, China had no chance of getting here, so naturally it had no choice but to not mention it.
But now that the situation has changed, and now that we have got this place, we naturally have to make full use of it.
Another base in the North Pacific, Danguan Bay, is also very important.
Danguan Bay is located in the middle of Eltoru Island, the largest island in the Kuril Islands.
The width of the bay is about ten kilometers, facing the Pacific Ocean and spreading toward the southeast.
It has a strategic location and extremely important military and strategic value.
Danguan Bay has a secluded terrain and is a natural deep-water port, allowing large fleets to hide here.

When the Pacific War broke out in the original time and space, the First Mobile Fleet led by Japanese Combined Fleet Admiral Nagumo Chuichi gathered in this bay and set off to attack Pearl Harbor.
The most important thing is that Shanguan Bay is a famous ice-free port in the North Pacific and is famous for the fact that the sea surface does not freeze in winter.
This alone has destroyed many northern ports.
Even if Vladivostok is recovered in the future, it will still be a very important military base because Vladivostok will be frozen.
In the "future" of the original time and space, Russia built a sea and air base here after occupying it.
They called it Orca Bay.
As for Ryukyu, where Li Ang is going now, let alone it.
There are US military bases everywhere on Ryukyu Island, which shows the importance of this place.
If it is in the hands of the enemy, this will be the first island chain stuck in China's neck.
But if it is in the hands of China, then this will be an advanced base that can be attacked, retreated and defended.
However, it is still a bit early now.
Except for the time traveler Wen Desi, at least most of the natives in this plane have not seen the importance of these positions.
Therefore, even if these construction projects are made public, it is impossible to hide large-scale infrastructure projects like this, and the international community is indifferent to it.
In other words, there are too many things that concern them now.
There will be an outbreak in Europe soon.
How can they still have the mood to care about the few small islands in Asia?
They are just the upstart China building on several newly acquired colonies.
As for the base, this is a normal thing, nothing to make a fuss about.
It would be strange if we didn't build a base.
After the Ryukyu Islands were annexed to China, they were established as Ryukyu City and belonged to Taiwan Province.
Ryukyu City is divided into one district and three counties.
The "district" is Naha District, also known as Shichu District.
It is located at the southern end of Ryukyu Island and covers an area of about 197 square kilometers.
The city government is located in Shuri Street and is adjacent to Shuri Old Town. .
The three counties from north to south are: Amami County, including the Amami Islands with an area of 1240.28 square kilometers; the former name of the Rush Islands: Tokara Islands, with an area of 87.5 square kilometers, and the entire county area is 1327.78 square kilometers.
Ryukyu County includes Ryukyu Islands 1,414.52 square kilometers and Daito Islands 43.67 square kilometers, with a total county area of 1,458.19 square kilometers.
Ryunan County includes Ryunan Islands, formerly known as Miyako Islands, 226.50 square kilometers and Yaeyama Islands 586.42 square kilometers, with a total county area of 812.92 square kilometers.
Here I would like to mention the Rush Islands, which were formerly known as the Tokara Islands.
At that time, when China and Japan were negotiating on Ryukyu, although Japan was forced to spit out Ryukyu, it still argued with China for several days about the demarcation of Ryukyu, the focus of which was the ownership of the Tokara Islands.
China believes that the Tokara Islands originally belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom, so they should belong to the Ryukyu Islands and be returned to China together.
However, Japan believes that the Tokara Islands do not belong to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and there are no Ryukyu residents on them, so they are not within the scope of return.
The two sides argued about this matter for several days.
Later, the "masters" of the Academy of Literature and History made a contribution.
They dug out the memorial from the King of Ryukyu to the Ming and Qing Dynasties from the pile of old papers.
It contained the map and household registration of Ryukyu.
There are records about the Tokara Islands above.
The Japanese also found a lot of evidence to prove that the Japanese lived on it in the 11th century.
To be honest, whether this small archipelago belongs to Japan or Ryukyu is really a matter of debate.
Because ancient people did not pay much attention to these small islands, neither Japan nor Ryukyu set up official offices here for effective governance in ancient times, so it is difficult to say clearly.
However, everyone knows that diplomacy ultimately depends on whose fist is bigger.
If the fist is bigger, it is not yours, but it is also yours.
On the other hand, what is originally yours is also someone else's.
As for the historical basis, since ancient times, etc., they are nothing more than icing on the cake and a way to make yourself look better.
If you really think that the world will recognize "since ancient times", then the picture is broken.
Now China's fist is obviously thicker.

After a few days of fighting, China lost patience and just showed off its fist.
The two task force fleets went around Tokyo again, and then the army surrounded the disarmed Japanese troops in Korea.
I had never seen a fist as big as a clay pot before, so Japan knelt down, obediently admitted that the Tokara Islands were the territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and returned them to China together.
After acquiring this archipelago, Mr.
Wen felt that the name "Tugala" was unpleasant.
"Tukara" may not sound like a big deal in Japanese, but if you pronounce it in Chinese, it sounds like "Tukara".
Since the boss said it doesn't sound good, let's change it.
The Geography Committee was busy for a while and came up with another name for it, "Treasure Island Islands", but Mr.
Wen was still not satisfied, thinking that this name could easily be confused with Taiwan.
For China, Taiwan can be considered a "treasure island", so how can the smaller islands be "treasures"?
Finally, it was named "Rush Islands" based on the Ryukyu rush, a specialty of the area.
Ryukyu rush is a kind of rush, and it is said that the straw mats and tatami mats woven from it are the best.
Of course Mr.
Wen didn't want this archipelago just for weaving mats.
It is very close to Japan.
The straight-line distance from Kyushu Island is only more than 100 kilometers.
It is also the only way for Japan to go south.
After China occupied this place, it completely blocked Japan's possibility of going south, which was equivalent to putting Japan in a cage.
An hour later, Li Ang's small fleet was approaching Naha Port.
At this time, a large passenger airship taking off from Shanghai was also hovering over the port and descending.
"Has the airship route from Shanghai to Ryukyu been opened?"
Li Ang couldn't help but ask when he saw the words "East China Airlines" on the airship.
The political commissar said next to him: "It should be a trial operation now.
The newspaper said it will be officially opened on New Year's Day next year."
"Well, we are almost there.
When the following cargo ships enter the port, let them sign and deliver.
Then our next task is to escort a supply fleet to the Ogasawara Islands and Guam Islands," Li Ang said, flipping through the logbook.
Naha General Airport.
Large passenger airship No. 158 slowly landed at the airship position of the comprehensive airport under the action of the mooring tower and winch.
"Brother Ximen, it's such an honor to meet you this time."
The fat Shen Minlong smiled and said goodbye to the friend he met on the airship.
Fatty Shen handed over another business card and said with a smile: "This is my business card.
If you or your company want to use a car, just come to me.
If nothing else, 20% off is the minimum, hahaha."
"Okay, I made a note.
If I want to find a car outside, I must come to you."
Ximen Chuixue also smiled and took the business card.
This time Ximen Chuixue came to Ryukyu to assume a new position.
After boarding the airship at Shanghai Airport, he met Fatty Shen who was in the same business room as him.
To say that this big fat man was really thoughtful, he directly brought the carriage and horse racing business to Ryukyu.
Shen Wenlong also told him the reason.
The competition in their industry has become fierce now.
Major cities in the country have their own horse and carriage shops.
It is difficult to do business in these places.
But the new territory is different.

These places have not yet Cars and horses were ready, so Fatty Shen first went to North Korea's Han Dynasty and Pyongyang.
After setting up the company, he hurried to Ryukyu to start business.
Fatty Shen was very good at talking, and the two of them talked very much and quickly became friends.
However, Ximen Chuixue did not say that he came to be the county magistrate, but only said that he was transferred to the Ryukyu County Government by his superiors.
At this time, the announcement in the airship sounded: "Dear passengers, please pay attention.
This flight has arrived at its destination, Naha Airport.
Passengers, please take your belongings with you and disembark in order.
Your luggage has been delivered to the waiting room.
Airport, please go to the baggage hall to collect your ticket with your ticket."
"Brother Shen, we're here, let's get off the airship."
Ximen Chuixue greeted, and the two of them got off the airship with their belongings.
They picked up their luggage in the luggage hall.
As soon as they entered the terminal, they saw the people picking them up holding many signs with names on them.
One of them read "Ryukyu County Government, Ximen Fubuki".
"Ximen, look, someone from your unit is picking you up."
Fatty Shen was worthy of having four eyes, and he saw the sign at a glance.
Ximen asked: "Old Shen, where is the person who picked you up?"
"Hey, I don't have one.
My carriage shop hasn't opened here yet.
I just came to visit the front station.
It's okay.
The transportation here is convenient.
There are buses when you go out.
You can do whatever you want.
I will be at the Ryukyu Hotel these days.
"If you have time, come over and have a meal."
Fatty Shen smiled.
"Oh, then why don't you just come with me?"
Ximen Chuixue asked the fat man to join him.
When the two came to the receptionist, Ximen Chuixue said to the young man holding the sign: "Hello, comrade, I am Ximen Chuixue."
"Oh, you are Comrade Ximen."
The young man was stunned and said politely: "Comrade Ximen, please show your ID card, work permit and transfer order.
Sorry, this is the procedure."
"Nothing, here."
Ximen Chuixue opened the briefcase, took out the certificate and transfer order and handed them to the young man.
"Oh, Comrade County Magistrate, you have worked hard all the way."
The young man looked at it and quickly returned the things.
He smiled and said: "My name is Liu Yilong, and I am the secretary of the municipal government.
You are the first leader of Ryukyu County to take office.
Now Ryukyu County There is a serious shortage of cadres.
There are only a few people in the city and county teams, and many tasks cannot be carried out.
It would be great if you came.
You can go to the city government guest house to have a rest now, and then go to the city hall in the afternoon.
The leader has been waiting for you.”
"Okay, Comrade Liu Yilong, you can make arrangements."

Ximen nodded, then pointed to Fatty Shen next to him and said, "Oh, this Mr.
Shen Wenlong is my friend.
Please send him to the Ryukyu Hotel."
"Okay, no problem.
Ryukyu Hotel is right next to the city government guest house.
Please come with me.
The car that will pick you up is in the parking lot outside."
Secretary Liu put away the sign and led Ximen and the others out of the airport and drove away
