The Storm Corner of the South African continent is the junction of the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. There are many storms and waves, and many Portuguese navigators are buried here.

The fleet of General Fubo's ironclad ship, sailing warship, merchant ship and supply ship passed by carefully.

Even the most advanced steam iron armored ship of this era, General Fubo still appears fragile in the face of nature.

Once you encounter the murderous waves here, your narrow hull will probably break in the waist.

However, this fleet is quite lucky, and the wind and waves are not very big when passing through the storm angle.

The fleet led by Sun Chuanting, Zheng Zhibao and others did not just go directly to London City, but also wanted to consolidate the route between the East and the West - establish the Chinese's own supply station.

The Nanyang Fleet occupied the Spice Islands, Malacca and Batavia became their own ports, and the Indian Peninsula had three strongholds established by the East India Company in Surat, Madras and Kolkata. Chinese merchant ships set off from the local mainland and all the way to Myanmar and the Indian Peninsula, and all the way to the Indian Peninsula, and all the way to the Indian Peninsula.

However, more remote places such as the Strait of Hormuz and Africa have not yet set up their own supply stations. Sun Chuanting and Zheng Zhibao's fleets need to temporarily use commercial stations established by pioneers such as the Netherlands, Britons, and Portuguese to make supplies.

It is very important to establish your own supply line. At present, there is no commercial station in Storm Corner in South Africa. In addition to heading to Europe, this fleet will also have to leave some people to establish the first commercial station at Storm Corner. This commercial station will be the first commercial station of the Kyushu Army in Africa, and it happens to be near Storm Corner. It provides supplies for ships traveling to and from the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Once the weather in Storm Corner is harsh, ships can still stay at this commercial station and wait until the rain is clear before setting off.

At the northern end of the Cape Peninsula, a bowl-shaped harbor surrounded by cliffs, a deep-water harbor that allows giant ships to be moored.

The first commercial station chosen by the Kyushu Army in Africa was here, which is called Cape Town.

A sailboat with smaller displacement delivers personnel and supplies to the uninhabited Cape Peninsula.

The first commercial station had 17 formal resident personnel and 32 prisoners. They brought a batch of seeds of crops, muskets, grain, salt, farming tools and other necessary supplies. The main labor force was the prisoners sent here, who would be responsible for clearing land, hunting, and building a permanent commercial station here.

Not many people are willing to stay in the Storm Corner, which has not been developed at this time. Here means that you may not necessarily see a ship from your hometown once a year, and you will also have to face the test of cruel nature.

So a group of heavy prisoners were transported here to help open up supply stations. They could reduce their crimes in this way to strive for early release.

"Everyone, your life here may be very hard, but your mission is glorious. If you successfully establish a permanent stronghold in this place called Cape Town, our ships will be replenished after passing here, and many crew members' lives will be saved. After five years of service, you will be able to return to the local area and receive high subsidies from the Military Department. If you accidentally die, the Military Department will give your family a pension to ensure that they will not be poor. Of course, I hope that each of you will be alive next time you pass by here."

Zheng Zhibao followed this group of people to the land at the Storm Corner. It was wilderness and surrounded by cliffs. However, under the cliff was a beach plain. The scenery was very beautiful when the wind was sunny. The waves hit the beach and cliffs, and you could also see the long-necked African ostrich.

The arrival of colonists have advanced tools such as firearms and iron tools, so it is not difficult to survive here. Once this place becomes one of the supply stations for East-West trade, it is very likely to become an important port city.

Zheng Zhibao also sent two artillery pieces off the ship to provide the necessary firepower for this garrison squad.

"According to the plan, you should collect food while building a fortress. We cannot stay here for too long. The large fleet must leave the Storm Corner when the weather is good. I will give you my full permission to establish a commercial station." Zheng Zhibao said to the people in the commercial station team.

"I will be sure to be despised!" The people in the commercial station team looked firm and came to South Africa to build a supply station, which was equivalent to a group of lonely watchmen.

This group of them will face this boundless sea and will be able to return to the local area in five years.

And their value is to provide supplies to passing ships.

"If you have established your foothold and the Dutch and Portuguese merchant ships docked and requested supplies, they will provide them with fresh water and fresh food at reasonable prices. Of course, if they try to capture this place, if you feel that you cannot resist the enemy's attack, then surrender to them and try to contact us. Our fleet will take back the place without causing fearless sacrifice." Zheng Zhibao reminded again.

If the Jiuzhou Army wants to enhance its influence on the ocean, it must establish ports and supply stations in various important straits and bays. This supply station can provide services to other countries' fleets to obtain compensation in peacetime, and at the same time enhance its influence. The important thing about international ports is that ships from all countries must come here to moor. If they are just closed, the ships that cannot be moored here have to look for other supply stations.

As long as there is no war between the two sides, you can often spend money on supply stations in neutral countries to get supplies.

During the war, it became a naval base, blocking the Atlantic Ocean route to the Indian Ocean.

The fleet left a sailing ship, the commercial war team here, and then left the Storm Corner.

The resident and prisoners on the Cape Peninsula began to find suitable locations to build forts in the Cape Peninsula.

This is just a seemingly insignificant action. Not many people are concerned about whether Cape Town will become an international port in the future. At present, it is just a small, unformed supply station on the coast of Africa.

"If you bypass the Cape of Good Hope, you will have entered the real Western region. We are not far from the city of London." The crew of General Fubo roughly identified the location of the fleet on the navigation chart.
