Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

Ever since the British Kingdom of St. George used steam ironclads to break the deadlock in the naval battle with the Bansi Sultanate five years ago, and once gained the upper hand, the ironclad ships became famous all over the world in an instant.

If it weren't for the Taiping spies lurking in Obarro at that time, under the order of Hong Tiangui, they secretly gave the Bansi Sultanate a taste and allowed those Holy God believers to also possess the design drawings of the first-generation ironclads, and the St. George's Kingdom of Britain might still be there.

It is really possible to become the most powerful maritime overlord on this planet.

Therefore, with the efforts of the great and merciful Hong Tiangui, the Oparo Maritime War, which was once broken by St. George, is still continuing today, five years later.

It's just that the development of today's battleship guns cannot keep up with the thickness of the armor of ironclads, and it has entered a very embarrassing stage.

Whether it is the conventional naval guns of the Kingdom of St. George or the Sultanate of Bansi, their attacks on the armor of ironclad ships are too weak. Often after a naval battle, the ironclad fleets of both sides look scarred, but in fact not a single one of them is injured.

reduce.

Therefore, although there has been no armistice in recent years, large-scale maritime conflicts between the two sides have been decreasing day by day, and small-scale naval battles still occur occasionally.

The technology related to all-steel ships such as ironclads has been further matured and developed during the war.

For several major naval powers in the world, such as St. George and the Sultanate of Bansi, the development of ironclad ships has been extremely rapid. Especially in the past two years, it has reached the point where they are not only used for military purposes, but also widely used by civilians.

Our Taiping Association is naturally no exception.

Because of Hong Tiangui's "cheating", in terms of the development of steel ships, it is only higher than these maritime powers. This is why the Kingdom of St. George still did not come to the Taiping Society to "settle accounts" after the Obaro naval battle subsided.

One of the important reasons.

January 1863, Taihua City, Canada.

This city, which was once the capital of the Canadian colony of St. George, developed at an extremely fast pace because of its excellent geographical location and transportation environment.

Since the central office of the Taiping Society was moved to Taihua City in the second year of the First Five-Year Plan, the development of Taihua City has been out of control, and it has quickly become the new political and industrial center of the Taiping Society.

Taipinghui's third large-scale seaside shipyard, Shenzhou Shipbuilding No. 3, is located next to the port along the coast of Taihua City.

In the tall shipyard, a large steam-armored freighter of over 6,000 tons is being built by several backbones of the Taiping Society and a group of Chinese workers.

At the top of the huge steel structure of the shipyard, Li Chuanming, wearing a safety helmet and holding a blueprint, was a northerner from Daqing who was abducted from the vast land of China and brought to America to build the railway when the Taiping Society was still dormant at the Taiping Fortress.

Of course, after living within the influence of the Taiping Society for so many years, he no longer considered himself a "Daqing" person.

"Brother Wang!"

"Looking at the big ship in Taihua Port again!"

Li Chuanming, who was often proud of his status as a citizen of the Taiping Society, held the handle at the top of the steel structure and skillfully operated the huge hook below to lift up a large piece of steel armor.

"yes!"

"The better my life is here, the more I miss my relatives at home!"

The "Brother Wang" mentioned by Li Chuanming was the young man standing next to him who was several years older than him.

The young man wears a Taiping Society "hoe and ruler" emblem on his chest, which represents his status as an activist and probationary member of the Taiping Society. He holds a level in his hand and is focusing on checking the horizontal line of the steel armor below when splicing it.

After work, he always stood up and looked at the extremely busy Taihua Port in the distance.

Compared with four years ago, the number of wooden merchant ships in the busy Taihua Port has been greatly reduced, while the number of steel cargo ships and steamers has gradually increased.

Today is the day when a new batch of Daqing immigrants arrived at Taihua Port.

As a preliminary member of the Taiping Society, the organization will give priority to these relatives and friends in Daqing when introducing immigrants from China.

"Beep!" "Beep!" "Beep!"

Amidst the loud sound of ship whistles, a fleet of ten ships, flying the flag of the Confederate States of America and made of steel, came through the waves with smoke from steam turbines and sailed into the Taihua Port, which is dedicated to Chinese immigrants.

Harbor.

As soon as the young man known as "Brother Wang" heard this voice, he quickly stood up again, took out a telescope in his arms, stood on the top of the steel structure of the dock, and looked there again.

In order not to affect his work, he even asked the team leader on duty for a short break through the radio on his shoulder.

In the fleet made of steel, every armored ship is extremely huge.

They are all carefully designed and have more than 1,500 "immigration transport" cabins. Each "immigration" cabin has an iron gate. The cabin is 2.5 meters long, 1.8 meters wide and 2.7 meters high, and is equipped with six

A bed fixed to the wall, with a water pipe and flush toilet.

Under normal circumstances, such a ship can transport 9,000 Chinese people from the distant land of China to Yinzhou and Canada.

The reason why "Brother Wang" knows the data of this kind of steel immigration ship so clearly is because this huge steel transport ship, which has built more than 50 ships, is the product of Comrade Li Guoliang, the chief designer of China Shipbuilding Plant No. 3, where he works.

work.

It is also one of the flagship products of China Shipbuilding Factory No. 3 in recent years. "Brother Wang" has studied it carefully.

As this kind of iron-clad ship specially used for immigration descended the stairs one by one, Chinese Chinese in simple work clothes and uneasy faces walked down holding their wives, children, and children.

It seems that during the journey, the comrades of the Taiping Society on the ship had already made these immigrants aware of many common sense of the Taiping Society in advance.

After disembarking from the ship, these Chinese did not disperse. Instead, they came as a family unit. Under the leadership of the new immigration guide, they came to the white tents on the edge of the immigration harbor, formed a relatively neat queue, and walked in one by one.

These tents.

In the white tent, there are some Taiping Society medical workers wearing long coats and holding various disinfection tools. They are conducting necessary epidemic prevention inspections.

"Brother Wang" held a telescope in his hand and carefully scanned the Chinese Chinese who had just disembarked one by one.

I looked at it with hope, but in the end, I gave it up in disappointment.

"well!"

He sighed quietly.

Li Chuanming, who was beside him, saw his loss and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

Li Chuanming often read newspapers published by the Taiping Society, which introduced the situation of his hometown in China.

In the past five years, China's Daqing Dynasty suffered several large-scale droughts and floods, and the Westernization Movement was in full swing, which caused the blood and tears of countless poor people after they were taxed again.

"Brother Wang's" hometown is the center of the last major drought. If the comrades in charge of immigration from the Taiping Society had not found his traces, they would have probably been...

At this moment.

Drop! Drop! Drop!

The wireless intercom on "Brother Wang's" shoulder suddenly rang, causing him to decisively put away his disappointed look and turn on the intercom.

"Is this Comrade Wang Ping from Shenzhou No. 3 Factory?"

"I am!"

Wang Ping discovered that the indicator light on the intercom was flashing red. This was a signal transferred from the Taiping Fortress's brother factory, the Second Shenzhou Shipbuilding Factory.

Thinking that he had something important to do, his expression immediately became serious.

"I am Ren Dongpeng from the Taiping City Immigration Department. I am borrowing the internal wireless communication of your Shenship system this time."

"I mainly want to tell you that your father Wang Laoshi, mother Li Qiuhua, and sister Wang... have arrived at our port in Taiping City."

"It seems they were on the wrong ship when they changed course midway."

"If it's convenient, I'd like to see if you, comrade, are free these days to pick them up."

It’s really another village where everything is bright and clear!

A huge surprise surged into Wang Ping's heart, causing him to speak quickly.

"Comrade Ren Dongpeng, thank you so much!"

"It's very convenient for me. I asked for leave immediately and came over!"
