Chapter 2160: Naturalized to be able to whistle
The grandeur of the Suez Canal admires the whites!
The canal in the vast desert is like a miracle. According to reports, its length is 190 kilometers, its depth is 15 meters, and its width is 35 meters.
The boats came and went in an endless stream, and it took only more than three years to complete it. It shocked the Baipi people, and it was unimaginable for them.
The heaviest battleship at that time had a displacement of nearly 3,000 tons, a draft of seven meters and a width of no more than 15 meters. The Suez Canal fully took into account the conditions of battleships in the sail age to ensure that they could pass through this canal.
There was a white-skinned pilot on board the "Gothenburg". He was sent by the South China Empire Suez Canal Authority. He was a young man named "Du David" in Chinese. He was an Italian man. He was able to endure and speak Latin. Six foreign languages: Spanish, Dutch, English, French and Chinese.
He was responsible for piloting the "Gothenburg". In addition to him, there were five cargo ships following him.
Pilots are necessary. Although they can pass battleships and large battleships, ships traveling north and south can only pass one way to avoid incidents.
In order to allow ships in different directions to stagger each other, the Chinese thought of a good way to build a bend that extends to both sides of the canal every 8-10 kilometers. There were originally several natural lakes in the canal. The lake has naturally become the best port for staggering ships, allowing ships to wait for refuge here.
A single day is for ships from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, and Sojitz is for ships from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. Pilots will ensure the implementation.
In front of the "Göteborg", there are four paddle boat tugs forming a 2*2 array. The thick cable drags the "Göteborg" and drags it forward slowly.
The transportation during the sailing period was troublesome. Although sailing ships can be driven by wind in the ocean, it is obviously not the same thing in the canals.
The speed from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea is faster than from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. The Suez Canal connects the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. Because the Red Sea is located near the equator, most of its coast has a desert climate. There are no large rivers around it. The temperature is high and the evaporation is strong, resulting in seawater salinity. High is the sea with the highest salt content in the world, causing the sea level of the Red Sea to drop.
The situation in the Mediterranean is exactly the opposite of the Red Sea. It is located at a higher latitude than the Red Sea. The evaporation is weak and not counted. There are also large rivers such as the Danube and the Nile injecting around. The sea flows along the Suez Canal from north to south to the Red Sea.
Even so, it is still necessary to rely on tugboats to speed up and increase the passage rate of ships on the Suez Canal.
Seeing four scratching boats rowing in front, the fleet used 24 tugboats, which cost a lot of manpower.
Eriksen boringly communicated with David Du, and asked him: "Do the Chinese have so many paddle slaves?"
"Yes!" David Du was very talkative. After Eriksson brought him rum and tea, he poured water into a bamboo tube and told everything he knew: "Some of the paddle slaves are convicts. , One part is Asan, and the other part is slaves, there are plenty of sources!"
"Slaves, are they all white slaves?" Eriksson asked sharply, blond and blue-eyed, a pure white man with strong feelings of white supremacy.
"Not necessarily!" Du David shook his head and said, "In addition to whites, there are also Slavs, Persians, and Turks. Whites only account for a quarter!"
The Slavs were white in name, but in fact they were covered with white skin, and after peeling them off, a Tatar would pop out of them.
Therefore, their white-skinned compatriots did not admit that they were white, and the dogs on both sides bit the dogs very badly.
Eriksson sighed slightly!
He saw a lot of white skin in the slaves and slaves, which made him feel uncomfortable.
David Du talked with him about daily routines. He heard that Eriksson was preparing to trade in Rising Sun City. David Du was greatly admired. He said that the goods sold in Rising Sun City are better. The Chinese are first-class goods for their own households, second-rate goods are given to the China League of Eight, and third-rate goods. Only sold to foreign countries.
As for the purchase price of Port Said, the purchase price is too cheap, and the price is so low that Erickson's goods cannot sell for a big price.
Erickson took the opportunity to ask David Du about the news of Sun City. David Du had never been to Sun City, and he was struggling.
He can be naturalized into the South China Empire!
As a pilot who is proficient in multiple languages and belongs to a professional technician, the officials of the South China Empire gave him a chance to become a naturalized South China citizen.
David Du knows the details of the South China Empire, and the welfare is very good, but the requirements are also high, not as free as he wants to be dull and profitable.
For example, once you are conscripted into the army in China, you are often required to fight to the end, and if you want to be a mercenary, you can retreat and escape when you encounter danger.
"You are stupid, you are a pilot, there are not many opportunities to go to the front line!" said the white skins.
Hearing that he had such a good opportunity, the white-skinned people on the "Gothenburg" were greatly envied and encouraged him to join the South China Empire.
Not why, just because you can whistle to Chinese girls in a straightforward way, and have the opportunity to pursue Chinese girls, it's all worth it!
Oh, god, **** Chinese, they actually have two laws!
One is a law for the Chinese. If a Chinese man whistles a Chinese girl, it is not a matter at all.
Unless it is verbal harassment or manual action, the punishment will depend on the severity. Unless it is a very serious crime, it will not be severely punished.
If even a Chinese man is caught whistling a Chinese girl~www.wuxiaspot.com~, Chinese men and women are paired, and the continuity of race will be a problem.
But it is different for foreigners. If an overseas foreign man whistles a Chinese girl, the minimum punishment for a foreign man is three months of hard labor!
It is so strict. In the 17th century, China dominated the world and was superior to others, and did not take Hong Maofan, Persians, and Asan seriously!
Therefore, in China, the first-class people are Chinese, the second-class people are the Chinese League of Eight and white people, and the third-class people are people from other countries.
Whites became second-class citizens because of their combat effectiveness. After all, they also have battleships that can threaten the Chinese.
But no matter what, Baipi is a second-class citizen!
Dissatisfied?
Come to fight!
Today's Chinese are just such a bull, which makes people all over the world envy.
Hearing that David Du had the opportunity to be a Chinese, the white skins on the boat encouraged him to join China and helped introduce Chinese beauties to them at that time!
The tugboat was towing the "Göteborg" and five other cargo ships. Today is Sojitz, a ship from the Mediterranean heading for the Red Sea. Unexpectedly, a small Calais sailed in front of the "Göteborg" group.
Seeing the signal from the sailors on the Calais, David Du said: "Let's give way!" He commanded the "Gothenburg" and his party to anchor in the river bend and give way.
Larson was surprised and said, "Isn't it said that Sojitz is the ship from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea?"
"Yes!" David Du nodded: "There are exceptions. When the military comes, all civilian ships have to give way. The Calais just now was the pilot ship!"
They waited for a long time, and saw a battleship like a long dragon approaching mighty!
