The blue sea has undulating waves, white seabirds are dancing and circling on the sea surface, chirping from time to time, and occasionally you can see the water jets of whales.
A fleet is sailing on the sea. In the past 74 days, this fleet, led by the "Annis", has sailed through half of the world, passing through the South China Sea, passing through the Indian Ocean, the Cape of Good Hope, and across the Atlantic Ocean.
, heading all the way towards Nanhua.
Like other ships, the "Marian" is a 2,000-ton American clipper ship from New York. The deck is crowded with people. According to the rules on the ship, each cabin has one hour to relax on the deck every day.
, the rest of the time can only stay in a cabin full of various peculiar smells.
Once again, after squeezing through the narrow passage, Li Lin and hundreds of people in the same cabin came to the deck. Their once-cut braids and shaved hair now grew longer again. They rushed to crowd the sides of the ship.
Looking eagerly at the horizon, the more than two months of sailing filled their eyes with anticipation.
They are looking forward to setting foot on the earth again, but where is the land?
Nanhua?
Where is Nan Hua?
For these people who left Tanhu Mountain seventy-four days ago, Nanhua, although unfamiliar, became their only hope.
But they knew nothing about Nanhua.
What is Nanhua really like?
During the long voyage, everyone was full of expectations and imaginations. Especially when someone died and the body was thrown into the sea, they would secretly imagine it in their hearts when they looked at the body floating on the sea.
Hold on, hold on, wait until you reach Nanhua... at least die on the ground!
At least...he can be laid to rest there!
Suddenly, at this moment, the sailor on the mast shouted loudly.
"land!"
land!
On the blue sea, the "Annis" began to lower its sails, slowed down and slowly sailed into Nanhua Bay. More people with messy hair poured out of the cabin, almost all of them young and middle-aged men.
Although there were many women on the boat, those who crowded onto the deck were still men. They were of different ages. Some were only twelve or thirteen years old, and the oldest were no more than 40 years old. They stood on the side of the ship and watched.
The cliffs at the entrance of the bay are gray stone cliffs that are tens of feet high. When we sail into the bay, we look at the green in the bay and this strange land.
“This is Nanhua!”
It wasn't until this sound came that people couldn't help but cheer in unison.
"Here, here, we're in Nanhua..."
After 74 days of wandering at sea, they finally arrived in this strange land. Everyone's eyes were full of expectation and excitement.
Although they now know that Nanhua is so far away, they don't have many requirements for these people who have gone through the disaster. All they want is to survive.
Perhaps Nanhua is unfamiliar and far away, but at least here, they can survive without worrying about growing hair or the butcher's knives of the army.
"This is Nanhua..."
Among the people standing by the side of the ship, the tall Li Lin stared at the looming Nanhua on the coast, with emotions in his eyes that were inconsistent with his age.
"Lao San, Lao San, from now on, you will pass on the incense of the Li family here. The Li family... you are the only one left!"
His black hair was blown by the sea breeze, and like everyone on the deck, his eyes also showed hope, but of course there was also some nervousness and uneasiness.
As a group of people who were lucky enough to survive the knife's edge, they came to this strange land and had no idea what fate was waiting for them?
Finally, the ship arrived at the port.
When the ship docked, the people on the deck looked a little disappointed when they saw the city in front of them. It didn't seem like a big place.
"Nan Hua... doesn't seem to be doing well either!"
Li Lin's eyes were a little confused, and his face was full of worries about the future.
Most of the others were in the same situation. Under the mixture of various complex emotions, they let out a long sigh.
Amid sighs, the Alice docked on the trestle. Captain Luke, holding a pipe in his hand, looked at Nanhua and couldn't help but sigh.
“Nanhua has changed so much!”
Only those who have experienced it can feel the changes in Nanhua. Of course, for the new immigrants who are used to the prosperity of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this place is really inconspicuous and looks even worse than the small towns in their hometown.
However, despite this, they still went ashore full of expectations. Once ashore, what awaited them were the guards with loaded guns and live ammunition, and they shouted loudly there.
"Men are on the left and women are on the right. Men are on the left and women are on the right. Men stay on the left and women on the right. Children without parents walk along the middle road..."
Facing these compatriots from China, Sun Hu and others all looked at them with expectant eyes. They are the future of Nanhua. Of course, they are more concerned about them - maybe their wives are here.
Inside.
But Zhu Xianhai is more concerned about the orphans. Their experiences are similar - their parents died in the war. They are of different ages. The youngest is only five or six years old, and the oldest is fourteen or fifteen years old. Compared with adults, children
They were more malleable and of course better at learning. Zhu Xianhai even divided them into a separate camp and found several teachers for them, who actually taught them simple English.
According to Zhu Xianhai's plan, these orphans will be sent to study abroad in the future. This is the most important part of his talent plan. Of course, some of them will become military officers or technical workers in the future.
One thing that is certain is that these children will definitely have a good future. Whether they study in Europe and the United States, study technology in Nanhua, or attend a military academy, Zhu Xianhai will definitely take care of them to the best of his ability. He will even be a "military preparation school" himself.
's principal.
The orphans will enter the Armed Forces School. Of course, the Armed Forces School does not necessarily teach military affairs, but a Spartan-style military-managed school where they study and then learn science, military, navigation and
Engineering etc.
These children are the real future of Nanhua!
But waiting for these children to grow up is a long process, at least ten years!
ten years……
Time is tight! We can’t just wait for them!
While sighing from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Xianhai turned his attention to the compatriots who had come from afar. There were also many literate, educated, and talented people among them, and there were probably quite a few of them. Perhaps he could start from among them.
Select a group of people and send them to study abroad in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Prussia and other countries.
However, it didn't matter. As soon as he looked over, his brows wrinkled.
