In June 1793, a squadron of eight galleons of the Imperial Pacific Fleet touched the Hawaiian Islands.

In January 1794, another Pacific Fleet squadron composed of 18 sailing battleships arrived in Mindanao along the North Equatorial Warm Current, and successfully captured Davao from the Spaniards, and then used Davao as its base. , Began to expel the surrounding Spanish colonists and the Dutch.

　　 When the Spanish authorities received that the **** Great China Empire had captured the Philippines again, they yelled. But there is a fart?

　　 In March 1796, an imperial squadron from Davao crossed the equator to northern Australia and landed in Darwin.

　　 After expelling some disobedient natives living in Darwin, the empire began to build a port and shipyard in Darwin...

　　 Napoleon began to rise in Europe just like the original historical time and space, and aroused the hatred of most European countries, and Europe once again became a group.

　　 The Great China Empire on the other side of the Atlantic took the opportunity to vigorously develop its internal affairs while fiercely grabbing territory overseas.

　　 In 1801, the second year of the 19th century, the first railway from Dahua to Beijing to the western capital of Denver was completed. In addition, the railway from Shangjing to the other three auxiliary capitals also progressed gratifyingly. In addition, the short-distance railway from several important mining areas to several important inland river ports will soon be completed, and the railway network of the Great China Empire has begun to take shape.

　　 In May 1803, out of retaliation, a Dutch army of more than 1,000 people set out from Cape Town and attacked the Johannesburg colony of the Great Chinese Empire more than 1,000 kilometers away. But this Dutch army just arrived in the Johannesburg colonial area after a trek for more than a month, and was wiped out by the soldiers of the 7th Regiment of the 6th Division of the Grim Bear Army stationed there...

In August 1806, the Dutch East India Company united the Spanish colonial army stationed in Manila and formed a small combined fleet of twelve sailing warships to jointly launch an attack on Davao. It was only six days after the voyage to Davao. The Shangjing-class steel battleship Shangjing and more than a dozen other auxiliary battleships gave a lot of trouble.

　　Shangkyo is the first steel battleship to attempt to cross the Pacific Ocean. Thanks to the full connection of the Davao-San Diego route, the Empire’s sailing fleet has set up many coal supply points along this route. Starting from Hawaii, all the way west, Johnston Island, Wake Island, Marshall Islands, Guam and other Pacific islands were all sent batches of coal during the previous galleon sailing. A coal supply point across the Pacific Ocean.

　　 With the continuous breakthroughs in steam engine technology and steel materials, the first Shangjing-class steel battleship with a displacement of 5,000 tons was finally launched at the San Diego Shipyard.

After 　　 Shangjing was launched, after a two-month trial voyage along the coastline, it began to cross the Pacific Ocean.

　　 Equipped with six 152mm twin main guns, four 122mm twin secondary guns and four 105mm twin secondary guns, the Shangjing is currently the most powerful warship of the Imperial Navy. After adopting the latest steam engine technology, the Shangjing can reach a maximum range of 2,400 nautical miles when sailing at a cruising speed of eleven knots. And this voyage happens to allow the Shangjing to reach Hawaii from San Diego...

　　 As long as we can reach Hawaii smoothly, the road ahead will be much easier. The distance from Hawaii to Johnston Atoll is less than 1,500 kilometers, the distance from Johnston Atoll to Wake Island is about 2,500 kilometers, and the distance from Wake Island to Guam is about 2,300 kilometers. 100 kilometers...

　　 The Shangjing ship relied on these supply islands to finally complete the feat of crossing the Pacific Ocean from San Diego to Davao.

　　 And when the Shangjing had just arrived in Davao for only six days, the combined fleet of Dutch and Spaniards came to the door.

　　 I didn’t say anything, go on!

　　 Although the number of sailing warships in Davao was about half less than the number of warships in the West Holland combined fleet, because there was one in Beijing, the invading West Holland combined fleet was not able to hold on for a long time and was directly maimed.

　　 Shangjing is equipped with a 152mm main gun, which is much more powerful than the 122mm main gun on the Cherokee class before!

　　 As long as a 152 mm high-explosive grenade is hit on the upper deck of a three-tier sailing battleship, there will be basically no living people on the upper deck. And if such a shell hits the sideboard, then the ship can basically just wait for sinking...

　　 Use the 152mm main gun to fight the sailing warships of this era, that is purely bullying!

　　 The twelve sailing warships of the combined fleet of the West and the Netherlands looked like paper in front of the Shangjing. The Shangjing did not even leave the port, so it served as a fixed fort, and it overturned seven sailing warships.

　　 The remaining five warships saw that something was wrong, turned around and wanted to run, but the Shangjing quickly caught up.

　　 Shangjing not only increased its displacement a lot, but also increased its maximum speed to 18 knots. At this speed, the sailing warships simply had no time to escape.

　　 Shangjing chased and used the main guns to call the name. The remaining five warships of the West-Dutch combined fleet did not even run out for 20 nautical miles, so they were all overturned by the Shangjing...

　　 This is the first time that the Shangjing-class warship of the empire has appeared in a naval battle, and its power is self-evident.

　　 In the fortieth year since the Stone Bear traveled, the Shangjing also completely opened the curtain of the empire's seizure of the Pacific Ocean.

　　 At this time, Shi Xiong is fifty-six years old, and the years have left deep marks on his face.

　　 But the Great China Empire has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when the nation was founded 20 years ago.

　　 The European side is still uniting against Napoleon, and the Great China Empire took advantage of this time to develop rapidly. The country has completed more than 7,000 kilometers of railway construction, and Norfolk and San Diego have become the largest shipyards on the east and west coasts of the empire.

　　Although the Havana Shipyard is still building some sailing warships, most of them are auxiliary warships or transport ships. With the successful appearance of the Shangjing, the empire has now begun to set the main goal of shipbuilding on steel battleships with larger displacements.

　　 The colony established by the empire in northeastern South Africa has no worries at all. Compared with the Europeans' burning, killing and looting on the African continent, although the Great China Empire also established colonies, the Great China Empire is still very friendly to the locals. As long as the local indigenous people do not rebel, they only need to work honestly in the colony, and they are not even better than in the tribe.

　　If the colony is to develop better, and the colony will not become independent in the future, it is undoubtedly very necessary to have a good relationship with the local aborigines. Only when the local natives feel that the colony is good, will they be alone when they are full...

　　 Just like Stone Bear’s previous life, many European and American colonies were reluctant to leave the United States or Britain or France. Why is this happening? Isn't it because these colonies feel that it is better to be under the protection of these countries, so they are unwilling to leave the colonies of these countries.

At present, all the colonies of the empire overseas, including colonies in the Indonesian archipelago, Australia, New Zealand, and many islands in the Pacific Ocean. Except for those who are really unfamiliar, the colonies will be transferred to another colony for transformation. The situation is still very good.

　　 Now, after nearly two decades of preemption, the entire Pacific Ocean has almost been incorporated into its own territory by the empire...
