Chapter 3070

No matter how good Aragones's calculation is, given his current situation, Ni Bodhisattva crossing the river cannot save himself, and he will definitely not be able to change the arrangements of this group of Spanish immigrants.

In order to calm the matter, he could only follow the requirements of the civil affairs officials and go forward to appease them, asking these people not to cause trouble and obey Haihan's arrangements to board the ship and rush to the settlement. He promised these people that he would tell Haihan

Officials continue to negotiate to ensure that they will receive the treatment they deserve in their new home.

If we can apply for shipping qualifications in the future, this island settlement may one day be accepted as a destination, and then these Hispanic immigrants who were sent to settle there may be put to use.

After some persuasion, the Spaniards finally followed Aragones's advice and went to the dock to board the ship without further intensifying the conflict.

It was only by their luck that they met Aragones and they were able to avoid disaster. If they continued to make trouble, they would really be sent to the mines to work as coolies.

And this is just a small episode in the resettlement work of Hispanic immigrants. According to the previous lottery results, Hispanic immigrants will be dispersed and resettled in multiple settlements.

Most of these settlements are only village-sized. Immigrants have to face a series of problems such as food, clothing, housing and transportation after arriving there. In addition, coupled with the language barrier, many problems will inevitably arise in the future.

At this point, Wang Tom could finally submit a summary report of the operation to the Executive Committee. The operation to seize San Diego Bay lasted for several months, and the investment was extremely huge, but fortunately the process was relatively smooth and basically

The action goals set by Tom Wang were completely achieved.

Haihan's army occupied San Diego Bay and destroyed a Spanish armed fleet at a very low cost of casualties. This ensured that the Spaniards would be unable to launch counterattacks from the sea for a period of time in the future and won valuable territory for Haihan's colonial areas in North America.

development time.

This battle also resulted in the harvest of more than 3,000 people, including prisoners of war. For the North American region where human resources were extremely tight, its significance was even greater than victory on the battlefield.

The expeditionary force spent nearly four years establishing a foothold in North America. During this period, it remained unknown. Now that it has finally handed over this report card, Wang Tom can finally apply to the Executive Committee for more supplies and weapons.

, production equipment, and organized larger-scale transoceanic immigration operations.

At the same time, in Sanya on the other side of the ocean, local newspapers have begun to publish relevant reports on the battle for San Diego Bay. It was only at this time that many people remembered that there was such a force deployed thousands of miles away and had been fighting for several years.

Silently opening up territory for the country.

The street-facing seats on the fifth floor of Jingsi Pavilion are still occupied by loyal customer Tan Tianming today.

On the table in front of him, in addition to the "Haihan Times" that he must buy every issue, there is now an additional copy of "Sanya Express".

Since he accidentally read the Express article last time, he has spent more on buying newspapers. This is not because he has any preference for the Express article style, but simply because he wants to have more comprehensive information.

He was also worried that articles that would have a negative impact on the Sing Tao region would appear again. If he failed to deal with them in time, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part.

After previous exchanges with Ning Qi about the Portuguese spending money for propaganda, Tan Tianming became more thoughtful when reading newspapers, and would think about the trends contained in international news, and behind those articles with different positions,

Who is the real profiteer?

Whenever Haihan achieved a major military victory, the battle process was the focus of reports in various newspapers, and this time was certainly no exception.

The Times and Express both devoted a lot of space to reporting in detail the process of this operation, including detailed information such as the size of the troops used by Haihan and the specific number of enemies killed and captured.

Tan Tianming paid attention to the time of the last battle. It was less than ten days from today. The relevant reports were published in the newspapers so quickly. This was obviously the operation of the North American authorities to announce the news first and speculate it.

Popularity of public opinion. The executive committee will of course take this factor into consideration when formulating awards in the future.

This method is not unfamiliar to Tan Tianming, because the Singdao District has used similar methods before to hype the results in several major newspapers.

It’s just that the Sing Tao Region did not encounter a real opponent in its operations in the Strait of Malacca, and no fierce fighting broke out. After making preliminary arrangements, it almost took over several key islands and several islands in a straight line.

Potential competitors were frightened by the scale of Xingdao's troop dispatch, and no one dared to jump out and confront Haihan.

Through actions, the Sing Tao Region expanded its actual control area to the north of the Strait of Malacca, truly achieving complete control of the Malacca waterway. It is no exaggeration to say that this will have a profound impact on the maritime industry in the next few hundred years.

It will be an important harvest for future generations.

The Xingdao Region captured the target at the lowest cost without spending a single soldier. The process was simply perfect.

But in terms of news value, such a smooth and calm action process is certainly not as sensational as the fierce naval battle in North America that annihilated the Spanish fleet.

For ordinary people in the country, it is still difficult to truly realize the importance of the Strait of Malacca, and they will not immediately feel the changes it brings to their lives. How much new land has been occupied, how many people have been added, and how many have been eliminated.

Enemy troops, these data are the objects that the public will be interested in and can truly generate cognition.

The North American side actually destroyed an armed fleet and captured several thousand Spaniards. These specific figures are obviously more convincing to ordinary people.

Even from Tan Tianming's point of view, he had to admit that North America fought this battle very well. If it were the Xingdao Region operating it, it would probably be difficult to do better than the North American Region.

However, the newspaper's praise of the North American region greatly exceeded the report on the South China Sea war situation some time ago, which made Tan Tianming feel a little uncomfortable.

What made him even more unhappy was that Fu Qiqiang's commentary article appeared in this issue of the Express, and its content was to list the results of recent military operations in Star Island and North America. Through simple data comparison, he arbitrarily

Touting North American action gains.

Although there were no words in the article that were obviously disparaging of Xingdao, it was clear that it seemed to be flattering and undermining. The more Tan Tianming read it, the more angry he became. He immediately called the waiter to pay the bill and took the newspaper to Huo De to pass it on.
