Donghua Island is about 20 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide, with a land area of ​​more than 120 square kilometers and a population of nearly 50,000. Most of them are local Chamorros and Carolines, and the rest are Filipino, Spanish and German expatriates. It has always been

The administrative center and largest population center of the Northern Mariana Islands has been built by two colonial governments, including Spain and Germany. Its ports, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure are complete and have not been damaged by war. Therefore, they are well preserved.

, the reconstruction, expansion and renovation work of the Bac Ninh government is very convenient. This also makes the island's architecture mix Spanish, German and Chinese styles, blending Chinese and Western styles, showing a very special charm.

Among them, this round of construction by the Bac Ninh government is the most modern and civilized. Not only has it not caused any damage to the original and beautiful natural environment of the island, but it has also collected the garbage and sewage on the island through specially established collection and discharge systems.

Centralized treatment has made Donghua Island tidier, more beautiful and more modern. The most eye-catching thing is that many towering steel towers and towers have been built on the highest point of the island - Mount Tapoqiao with an altitude of 466 meters.

Various strange-shaped metal devices: This is the most important facility on Donghua Island - Donghua Radio Control Center.

This center will form the Donghua Islands together with the radio control centers established on Ponape Island, the administrative center of the Eastern Caroline Islands, Palau, the administrative center of the Western Caroline Islands, and Majuro, the administrative center of the Marshall Islands.

The radio communication/navigation control system. This system will be connected with the radio communication/navigation control network in Bac Ninh area to provide services for Bac Ninh ships and aircraft within the network coverage. And based on these four key construction islands, we will vigorously improve

The construction of public infrastructure achieves the purpose of managing more than 2,000 large and small islands and reefs belonging to the entire Donghua Islands and the surrounding vast sea areas.

With the increase of immigrants from the Qing Empire in Donghua Province, the local agriculture, fishery and seafood processing industries have become increasingly developed, and commerce and tourism have also developed. Economic development has brought benefits to local residents, and with the equality of the Bac Ninh government,

Enlightenment and civilized policies enabled local indigenous people, foreign expatriates, etc. to coexist harmoniously with immigrants from the Qing Empire, promoting the harmony and stability of local society.

As the volume of local trade with the Qing Empire increased, the ports and airports in the four administrative centers of Donghua Province played an increasingly important role. Bac Ninh Ocean Shipping Company and Bac Ninh Airline both opened Bac Ninh-Donghua Island

Regular sea and air routes, liner is the main force of passenger and cargo transportation; flights are mainly used for mail delivery and passenger transportation, the flight is once a week, the model is "Giant Bird" seaplane. And various administrative centers in Donghua Province have also established

The complete sea and air transportation system is also dominated by regular passenger and cargo liners and amphibious aircraft. The difference is that the flights in this province use civilian modifications of the "Sea Eagle" amphibious aircraft, rather than larger, better and more luxurious "giant aircraft".

bird".

The introduction of new liner ships and flights has also made people's long-distance travel safe and comfortable. People in Bac Ninh who live a prosperous life have come to Donghua Province in large numbers for vacation, which has rapidly heated up the tourism industry here and has become a new tourist attraction here.

Economic growth point. With the continuous improvement and standardization of various social undertakings in Bac Ninh, all walks of life have been on track, and all work has become calmer and easier. Therefore, the number of publicly funded vacation days stipulated by the Bac Ninh government has increased every year.

The number of holidays has increased. In addition to two days of rest a week, several important traditional festivals in the year, such as Spring Festival, Tomb Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., also have long holidays, which provides great convenience for people to travel. Donghua Province is unique in that it

The beautiful tropical exotic island style has naturally become the most popular holiday destination for Bac Ninh people.

Most of the islands in Dong Hua Province have lagoons and natural harbors. Just as Kang Fan originally envisioned, it quickly became an ideal stopover and shelter for Bac Ninh Ocean Shipping Company’s merchant ships sailing on the ocean routes from Bac Ninh to North America and South America.

However, the original US territories of Guam, Wake Island, the Hawaiian Islands and several British Pacific islands are no longer visited by merchant ships and fishing boats from Bac Ninh. It has truly achieved the goal of "keeping the wealth from flowing to outsiders".

A large number of ocean-going merchant ships and ocean-going fishing vessels came here for long or short rest and recuperation, which led to the rise of the ship repair industry and service industry on each island. The ships and aircraft of the Bac Ninh Coast Guard based on the above-mentioned islands have a patrol radius of as far as

1,000 nautical miles, the search and rescue scope covers a large area of ​​​​the sea area, greatly increasing the chance of rescue of distressed ships and crews in Bac Ninh and other countries, making maritime navigation across the Pacific safer, and promoting the development of the shipping industry.

It also enhanced friendship with people of various countries and established a good international image of the Qing imperial government.

Because the Donghua Islands are located in the vast Pacific Ocean and surrounded by vast seas and skies, unlike the dangerous situation of the South China Sea-Indian Ocean-Atlantic route, which is surrounded by many neighboring coastal countries, the defense situation here is quite optimistic.

The maritime defense mission of Donghua Province is undertaken by the Bac Ninh Navy’s Taiwan Island Squadron. In normal times, the “Qing” class cruisers of the Taiwan Island Squadron will go to the waters of Donghua Islands to conduct regular patrols. Therefore, there are not many local troops stationed there.

The ships and aircraft of the Coast Guard are responsible for all waterway survey/dredging, meteorological/hydrological forecast, sea state survey, island protection, escort, fishery protection, search, rescue, communications, navigation, logistics support and other tasks in the surrounding waters.

Among the more than 2,000 islands and reefs under the jurisdiction of Donghua Province, only a few larger islands are inhabited, and most of the rest are uninhabited islands and reefs. Therefore, the coast guard force of this province is equipped with a large number of "Crocodile-A" class

Coastal patrol boats are used to perform tasks such as island landing inspections and surrounding coastal management. The local garrison is composed of naval surface ship units, naval aviation units and Marine Corps, as well as shore artillery units, combat support units, etc. The main equipment is 12 "Flying Fish"

-level high-speed patrol boats, and 12 "Seahawk" amphibious aircraft. The garrison is stationed on each island, with its own command and logistics support agencies, and has divided its respective jurisdictional sea areas. The garrison headquarters is located on Donghua Island.

Guam is the largest island in the Mariana Islands and has the most strategic value. Geographically, it belongs to the Southern Mariana Islands, and together with the Northern Mariana Islands, it constitutes the complete Mariana Islands. After the Spanish-American War in 1899, the United States

The Spanish took Guam away and have occupied it to this day. After Spain failed in the Spanish-American War, it completely withdrew from the previously occupied Pacific islands and sold them all to Germany. The Bac Ninh government became the new occupier here after Germany.

.

Later, after discussions with the United States, the Guam air transfer station on the Tianjin-San Francisco transoceanic flight route was moved to Donghua Island, making Donghua Island the only complete stop among the three Pacific stopovers of the "Giant Bird" seaplane.

The site controlled by the Bac Ninh government is much more convenient in all aspects.

Among the U.S. government officials on Guam, there is an old acquaintance of Judy. He took a "Big Bird" plane from the United States to Guam a few weeks ago to take up his post. After getting off the plane at Donghua Island, he prepared to take a boat to Guam and waited for the boat at the port.

He met Judy by chance at that time. Due to the rush of time, he did not stay long. Before leaving, he invited Judy to go to Guam for a short stay. At Judy's repeated requests, Kang Fan took a "Crocodile-A" numbered "016".

-class coast patrol boat accompanied her to visit the American.

The "016" boat vacated the crew cabin inside the boat to accommodate Kang Fan, Judy, Donovan and 6 special agents from the Security Bureau, and rushed to Guam at a high speed of 35 knots. The crew cabin was all comfortable

The high-back soft chairs can effectively offset the impact of waves and reduce the fatigue of long-term riding. There are several portholes on both sides, and the waves stirred up by the bow of the boat can be seen through the thick tempered glass. The air-conditioning system controls the temperature inside the cabin.

At 20 degrees Celsius, it is very cool. The only drawback is that the engine sound is a bit loud.

Donghua Island is more than 160 kilometers away from Guam, and it took less than 3 hours to arrive. After passing customs inspection, the "016" boat was notified to wait at the Apra Port pier for the Guam government to send people to receive it. The captain opened the bow of the boat.

Open the landing hatch and let everyone land for a walk.

On the trestle, Judy always looked at Kang Fan and snickered intentionally or unintentionally, which made Kang Fan feel very awkward. After asking her several times, she smiled and said nothing, so Kang Fan just gave up. But he never expected that Zhu

Di actually took it upon himself to arrange a second meeting with Judy's parents this time!

Judy's original intention was to let her parents come to Donghua Island for vacation, so when she met the American official by chance, she asked him to ask someone to pick her parents up. However, her parents considered what happened when they first met Kang Fan.

They were unhappy and worried that Kang Fan would not forgive them, so they temporarily changed their itinerary on the day they flew to Donghua Island and took a boat to Guam and stayed there, without Kang Fan knowing about all this.

Afterwards, Kang Fan very diligently took Judy's parents back to Donghua Island and took care of them warmly and thoughtfully. However, Judy's parents did not expect that this young man who had become an important national leader of the Qing Empire would not remember...

I accepted them graciously and was flattered. I also had my precious daughter with me. Therefore, I had a great time on Donghua Island during my vacation.

For Judy, this meeting that she had painstakingly arranged achieved the ideal result. She finally settled the worries she had accumulated for many years, not to mention how relieved she felt.

"Kang Fan, thank you for everything you have done for me." Judy said.

Kang Fan said: "Those are your parents, what can I do? Besides, they interfered with your marriage because they were thinking about you and the Wood family. Facts have proved that what they did was right, because I really can't give you anything.

What."

Judy smiled, "You have given me a lot. My life is wonderful with you here."

Donovan interjected angrily from the side: "Now you two can have a legitimate relationship."

Judy glared at Donovan, changed her expression to look like she was about to hit someone, frowned and shouted: "Father!"

Donovan quickly smiled to please him, then suddenly turned around and ran away.

Judy took Kang Fan's hand and ran after him, shouting: "You smooth-talking California bumpkin, let me stop talking to you..."

Kang Fan looked at the cheerful figures of Judy and Donovan as he ran, and murmured to himself: "One day, the Qing Empire will definitely break out a war with the United States because of their respective interests. And by then, how can I be calm?

Facing you?"

A few days later, it was time for Judy to return to the United States with her parents. When leaving, Judy's parents first took the initiative to hug Kang Fan, and then Donovan, which made everyone feel surprised and very pleased. Judy was finally able to be a

She said goodbye to Kang Fan affectionately in front of her parents. I don’t know if she did it specifically for her parents to see or because she was really difficult to control her emotions and acted too enthusiastically, which made Kang Fan very embarrassed.

"What about demonstrating to your parents?" Kang Fan whispered in her ear.

Judy's eyes were as charming as silk and she said "hmm".

"When will you come again?" Kang Fan asked.

Judy smiled, "Don't you have your 'giant bird'? I'll come as soon as I want."

Kang Fan nodded and said: "I'll give you a suggestion, Advisor to President Wood: Divide your heart into two parts, give 80% to your motherland and family, and leave 20% to me and my motherland.

How about it?"

Judy tilted her head to consider, and then said: "The requirements are not high. Since you have always performed well, I will consider increasing your ratio."

Kang Fan smiled and asked: "How much is that?"

Judy took Kang Fan's hand and put it on her chest, and said solemnly: "She is all yours."
