"But how to get there?" Zhu Shimao tilted his head to the left and asked, "Do we have to walk on the sea for half a year?"
"No need, it's most convenient to go from our north." Mr. Zhao drew a route with a pencil and said: "Leave the Bohai Bay to Ezo Land, follow the Kuroshio eastward, and you can go straight to San Francisco!"
"Why is it called San Francisco?" Someone asked: "Is it to distinguish it from Jinshanwei?"
Jinshanwei is right next to Pudong, and 600,000 acres of land has been leased to the new district.
"Uh, right" Mr. Zhao hasn't thought about this yet, so he has to think about it first. Therefore, it is really worry-free for people to reach a certain high position.
"Then why isn't it called Xinjinshan?" The British public asked curiously: "Isn't Xinjinshan more appropriate?"
"You can have this." Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly, you are the Duke and you have the final say. Then he told Secretary Ma:
"Write it down, on the seventh day of February in the fifth year of Wanli, the British general changed San Francisco's name to 'Xinjinshan'."
"Oh my, how embarrassing is this." The British Duke was so happy that he couldn't close his legs and said: "If you give me this honor, I will overcome all difficulties and snatch Xinjinshan from the hands of the red-haired ghost!"
"Haha, it's not that easy." Zhao Hao said with a basin of cold water in his backhand: "Although the Spaniards have limited manpower in North America, they have sufficient troops in Mexico. Therefore, once they fall into a land battle, the side that has to go on an expedition will suffer a lot. "
"That's it" The expressions of all the nobles changed as expected, and it seemed they were just thinking about good things.
"So we need more careful planning, more detailed preparations, and more patient waiting." Zhao Hao took the initiative of the conversation back into his own hands and said: "It is not difficult to march to America. The difficult thing is how to gain a foothold. This We need to do it step by step. First, our coast guard fleet must defeat the Spanish navy and become the master of the Pacific. Then, we will pressure the Spanish from the land and let them spit out the Americas bit by bit. After ensuring the safety of the territory Only then can we talk about running America.¡±
"How many years will it take?" Everyone asked sadly, "It won't be more than ten or twenty years before we can start digging for gold, right?"
"Well, we must consider preparations for long-term operations, but we must also firmly seize historical opportunities once they arise." Mr. Zhao said solemnly: "According to my judgment, in five or six years at most, there will be An excellent window period, when we take action we can get twice the result with half the effort! Maybe we can force the Spaniards to give us the New Gold Mountain no, the entire west coast of North America."
After a pause, he looked around at everyone with sharp eyes and said: "But the question is, within five years, can you do all the preparations including collecting intelligence, formulating plans, recruiting personnel, stocking up on supplies, and building systems? What if? If I can¡¯t do it well, I will help Jiangnan Group get South America first, and you will have to wait in the back row.¡±
"It can, it must be possible!" All the distinguished nobles immediately shouted: "No matter what, we can't let the Southern Monkey take the lead again!"
Mr. Zhao rolled his eyes helplessly, hoping they would keep their word.
But to be honest, he didn't have much hope. What's the saying? I hope my broken shoes will hurt my feet.
But the current priority of North America, the future God-given land, is indeed not that high. Therefore, at least for a few decades, the priority of going south will be higher than that of going east.
Mr. Zhao has no choice but to leave North America to the Xishan Group first.
Fortunately, the Spaniards are also very good in North America. At worst, everyone will be worse than others. At least we will still have more people here.

The group left Tangshan on a luxury flat-bottomed passenger ship owned by the Marco Polo Bridge Group and entered Beijing along the newly built North Canal.
Although this route is slightly farther, because there are fewer checkpoints, it actually arrives half a day earlier than taking the route from Tianjin.
In the early morning of February 9th, it was still spring cold.
The Bell and Drum Tower beat the drums twice, and the inns, clubs, er, clubhouses all over the capital began to become lively. It was time to get up early to attend the spring semester of the undergraduate program and go to the Tribute Academy.
There were originally residential buildings on both sides of this wool alley. Because it was close to Gongyuan, the residents rented out their homes during big competitions. The profits were huge and the business was booming.
But in the sixth year of Longqing¡¯s reign, the residential buildings on both sides of this alley were acquired by the Xishan Group as a whole, and they were all torn down and rebuilt. A Xishan Primary School was built on the left side of the alley, and a Xishan Middle School was built on the right side. The school adopts a boarding system, all fees are free, and it is specially designed to cultivate talents for Xishan Group.
However, during the competition period, Xishan Elementary School would have a holiday and free up dormitories for the students from its own academy to stay temporarily.
&nbnbsp; I will return to Beijing in the fall to host the most important Chuiwan Autumn Championship. Finally, I went to Guangdong to spend the winter. After the new year, I will start a new cycle It will definitely be more tiring than being an official.
But he enjoys it, not to say that his life lies in sports, especially some kind of sports. As long as he can keep moving, he will stay young. If he stops, he will be close to death
The old man has said such harsh words, what can the children and grandchildren do? We can only leave it to him
As for Mr. Zhao, he didn¡¯t do anything fancy, and he didn¡¯t have the guts. Even if he has the courage, he doesn't have the energy anymore
In fact, he had already entered Gongyuan a few days ago.
Because he is the deputy examiner of the undergraduate examination, he will preside over this Spring Festival together with the examiner Shen Shixing!
It can be said quite rightly that ¡®if you don¡¯t see anyone in the spring for a month, you will become fat and strong¡¯.
