Chapter 1513 Immigrants Arrive
One group of fleets was divided into different groups, and then left the Japanese waters. The huge fleet was completely incomparable to the vast Pacific Ocean. Fortunately, this journey was a familiar route, and each group would arrange an old captain who had walked this distance, which was relatively stable.
In the back, China has made quite a lot of efforts. The one-time crossing of 3 million people is also a new challenge for China. Even when it was just received from Japan, the top Chinese leaders would be quite surprised. This is an unimaginable crossing of the Pacific. Even when China is at its limit, it does not transport so many people at once. To send so many people safely, it requires preparations from multiple aspects.
Fortunately, from Japan to Alaska, China sent some fast merchant ships to prepare some materials on it, and especially some medicines to prevent unnecessary losses. In the eyes of Japanese senior officials, the Japanese are not worth much, but China still hopes that Japan will be stronger. In terms of population, Japan will not have an advantage compared to the United States. If Japan cannot increase its strength to a certain extent, perhaps they will be defeated by the Americans.
Just like supporting Germany at present, China really has a lot of favorable feelings towards Germany. It is really not that much. Joining with Germany is just in a profit. Yes, the higher the identity, the greater the responsibility. Yang Yuanzhao is now unlikely to decide on future development because of his personal likes and dislikes. As for his original intention, he is not willing to give Japan a chance. However, Japan made the most correct choice at the most appropriate time. Yang Yuanzhao's status can certainly reject this choice and make Japan pay the price. But in the end, reality and interests convinced him. Even in his opinion, he completely changed Japan's history and turned Japan from an Asian country to a country spanning the Americas and Asia. This may not be a good thing for Japan.
North America has changed from being the dominant American, to being involved in Japan. Japan's strength is not a little worse than that of the United States. However, Alaska's geographical advantage and the maritime power supported by China can really match the United States in North America. If Japan meets this requirement, it is acceptable to support them.
The top Japanese leaders casually lost 3 million people to come, but China attached great importance to it. The Pacific islands that were already under construction were in advance and prepared on the islands. A large number of individual tactical dry food and field meal bags were sent to various islands, and some hospitals and doctors were even transferred to build these islands in advance.
In addition to the necessary preparations, adjustments have been made in terms of navigation and the speed has also been improved. It turns out that the fleet is preparing to use economic speed. According to the economic speed of 12 knots per hour, the 12 hours per day is about 250 kilometers. This is a relatively normal flight of more than 5,000 nautical miles, and the time that will stay or delay in the middle will arrive almost 30 days.
But this time, the fleet's speed increased to 15 knots. Don't look at the speed of 3 knots, it can increase by more than 60 kilometers in 12 hours a day. This saves almost one-fifth of the time to Alaska. The most important thing is that through precise control, the daily navigation time has also increased by 2 hours. This is also recommended by the team that set out in the early stage. During the early voyage, they found that the Japanese squeezed the cabin too much. For the personnel on the ship, in a small space, even with some ventilation equipment, they could not move outside and could only live in a small room. In this case, they would still sleep except to sleep. When they dock at night, it is not obvious. It is better to arrive in advance than to slowly drifting on the sea, so that they can adapt to the environment.
In this way, from at least 350 kilometers to at most 400 kilometers, and there were no groups, but divided into teams, and the places where each team stopped were often different, which reduced the pain of reception. On the 15th day, China and Japan came into contact with the larger islands of the Aleutian Islands. There was no consensus on the island issue, but Japan has begun to build several larger islands such as Unarasca Island, but the results of this construction will eventually be handed over to China, and at most China will compensate.
Even though China has made various arrangements, over 800 of Japan's 3 million people died during this 15-day voyage, and nearly 10,000 people were infected. These people could not continue. Fortunately, they were very close. More than 70,000 people were left on Unarasca, including nearly 10,000 people infected and some elderly, weak and disabled. The rest continued to set off. Finally, after 5 days, it took only 20 days to cross the Pacific Ocean and send more than 3 million people to Alaska. Before that, Chinese materials and construction teams had already arrived. Alaska, which is in desolate, will usher in a new round of construction*.
There are only 800 deaths in 3 million people, and nearly 10,000 people are infected. This is a huge number for the absolute number, but if there is an additional number of 3 million in the denominator of this number, it is really not big.
The Japanese do not have a definite understanding of ocean navigation. They are eager to immigrate enough people in a short period of time, and even under a certain sense, the mortality rate is controlled below 3%, which is enough for them to bet, not to mention that there are only 800 people and nearly 10,000 people infected with the disease. Under the medical conditions in China, most of them will receive better treatment.
Unexpectedly, they enjoyed China's medical conditions at the right time, especially on Unarasca, as the first strategic island of China in the Aleutian Islands, construction has long been started. The dock is under construction, and the first batch of 110 houses have also been completed, including a large-scale hospital. China directly dispatched a comprehensive hospital of the Navy. All the personnel are well-trained active-duty soldiers. When the merchant fleet simply stayed here, they welcomed the first batch of patients.
These patients have weak physical foundations. In fact, the disease caused by the final lesions on the ship has been treated on the ship. After all, this is an immigration or a Chinese-led immigrant. It is not like the smuggled black slaves hundreds of years ago. It is really a very high mortality rate. If you die, you will die. The merchant ship itself is relatively spacious, with good ventilation conditions and a very good diet. Once there is a danger, there will be drugs or even doctors. The 800 dead people are basically acute illnesses, rapid changes, and there is no chance of salvation. These are still sick on Unarasca Island, which are considered chronic. If you get an IV in the hospital and then you will be cured after a while.
Because China is leaving most of the entire Aleutian Islands, the Japanese did not stay here too much, and almost 200,000 were left. This part was not settled on these islands. The Japanese did not know that the important role of the Aleutian Islands was, but after the dismemberment of the navy, Japan basically had no ability to control the islands. Besides, Japan itself is an island country and has enough on the islands. Alaska is better. The remaining 2.8 million are basically all local to Alaska. Next, it is how to build cities so that these Japanese who landed in can survive in Alaska.
Without landing in Alaska, Japan would not know that Alaska has such a superior environment. However, after landing in Alaska, especially in summer, the beautiful scenery of Alaska made him fascinated. This is a treasure land. Even if the United States did not develop on a larger scale, Alaska has the resources coveted by Japan. Japan sent experts to conduct preliminary exploration of minerals and discovered many minerals, which are absolutely invisible to Japan, and all of them are occupied by them. In this year, it is planned to immigrate about 8 million yuan. Japan is determined to go up to 15 million yuan, which is equivalent to twice the amount.
China has no objection to Japan's radicalization, but under his command, he pays more attention. In a sense, Japan represents a Chinese minion in the Americas. This minion cannot act quickly, so I'm sorry for the huge investment. The huge fleet is huge every day of stationing. Although Japan pays, it is not appropriate if Japan dies too much in this winter.
In the process of industrialization, China understands the important role of manpower and how to play the role of everyone. Only by reaching a joint force can these people create miracles again and again. Japan made a choice to immigrate 15 million this year. Of course, this group of people cannot do the simplest work. Even if there are tens of millions of people in a modern area, it is impossible to engage in simple work. What China needs to do is to exert this part of the initiative. Only in this way can Japan have a strong foundation in North America in a short period of time. War is never determined by one or two battles. This requires a long-term confrontation, and it is all about economy, steel, and materials.
China can help Japan support such a war, whether it is a merchant fleet or China's huge production capacity, but in this way, there is no need for this. Alaska is also a place with rich resources. If China wants it, it's better to take it down by itself. Why bother to take it cheaply? Besides, if Alaska's own output is part of it, it will save costs greatly. After all, the freight for a 5,000-kilometer flight is also quite not cheap.
