The Great Eastern is here!

When the huge hull of the "Great Orient" sailed into Nanhua Bay, the whole of Nanhua became a sensation. People from inside and outside of Nanhua City came to the shore one after another. More than [-] people crowded on the beach, whether they were Chinese or not. Regardless of whether they are foreigners, they all looked at the giant ship like a mountain in surprise.

"My God!"

"Hey, how big is this boat..."

"God, isn't this the Penglai city where the gods live..."

"My God, this is nothing short of a miracle!"

……

Not to mention them, even Zhu Xianhai himself was so startled that he couldn't speak for a long time when he watched the giant ship approaching slowly.

This is a big ship of nearly [-] tons!

Such a giant ship was actually built in 1850. Just looking at this black steel giant ship, Zhu Xianhai seems to understand, understand the power of Britain in this era, perhaps, he has never been to Britain, and he has never experienced Britain in the Victorian era. A huge industrial machine, but from the body of this giant steel ship, he can clearly feel the power transmitted by the British industrial machine.

"This is the power of industry!"

"what?"

"Industry is the foundation of Britain's dominance in the world!"

Staring at the "Great Eastern Ship" Zhu Xianhai was silent for a long time. Unlike the people standing on the trestle bridge who were amazed and envious from time to time, what he felt was pressure!

After all, in the life simulator, Britain...is also one of the intervening countries, and even ended up directly in the end!
Britain is the most powerful country in this era!
Even in Germany sixty years later, the challenge to Britain ended in failure, but what about Nanhua?

What does Nam Hwa have?
Looking at the small merchant ship in front of this giant ship, Zhu Xianhai's mood was extremely complicated!
At this moment, he saw two nearly forty-meter-long steam "boats" put down behind the paddles on both sides of the Great Eastern—a super giant ship like the "Great Eastern", in this era. Almost all ports in the world prohibit it from docking, so the "Great Orient" has its own steam steamer, which is specially used for passengers on and off the "Great Orient".

And the displacement of the two steamers is about... about 300 tons.

Nanhua's first ship, the wooden-hulled ironclad ship "Taiping", which was sold to the Taiping Army for a lot of money, had a displacement of only 350 tons.

Well, in the future, the "Taiping" will take it to cross the ocean to China.

When the "Great Eastern" put down the steamer, Zhu Xianhai gave instructions to Liang Mingwei beside him.

"After the Great Eastern is ready to set sail, use the "Taiping" to replace a small steamer..."

Fortunately, the "Great Eastern" was bought, and it only takes about [-] days to reach China and reach Hangzhou Bay.I hope everything comes in a hurry!

……

The arrival of the "Great Orient" not only shocked the people in Nanhua, but also caused a sensation in Buenos Aires hundreds of kilometers away, especially for President Bartolome Miter. After the news, he was even more stunned and speechless for a while.

"Are you sure? The American Company bought the Great Eastern?"

Bartolomé Miter asked again.

"Davis, you just came back from England. Is this true? The British really sold them the floating city on the sea?"

Davis Douglas is the special envoy sent by Miter to the UK. In order to continue the war with Urquiza, he sent a special envoy to visit the UK. While purchasing a large amount of arms, he also won money from the British banking industry. Two million pounds loan.

However, none of this was as shocking as the "Great Eastern", after all, it was the largest ship in the world, and it was the pride of Britain.

"Yes, sir, the English did sell them that ship! When I came back, many papers in London were accusing the shipping company of selling the pride of Britain to foreigners."

For foreigners who don't know where it is, the Great Eastern is great and glorious, especially for the old hats in South America. It is hard for them to imagine that the British would sell such a big ship to American Corporation.

"When I heard the news in London, I was even more surprised by the financial strength of the American company. Mr. President, the "Great Eastern" is worth at least 50 pounds, but the American company actually bought it, even if there are Bank loans, but without sufficient financial support, they will not spend a lot of money to buy such a boat."

Of course they didn't know that Nanhua bought the pile of "scrap iron" at the price of scrap iron. After all, in their view, it was a huge ship that had just been launched for a few years, and the British would definitely not sell it cheaply.

"Their financial resources are extremely astonishing!"

Miter sighed.

"As far as I know, the Helen Pharmaceutical Company, the company that produces "Liquid" and "Aspirin" and coffee painkillers, may have an annual profit of more than one million pounds, and the profit of the Ameria Company, Even more than Argentina..."

When mentioning the company's astonishing profits, Miter felt a pity in his heart. If Helen Pharmaceutical Company had been in Buenos Aires, it might have become a "national property" long ago, but now Woolen cloth?But fled to the "abroad".

From a legal point of view, San Antonio Bay, where the Ameria Company is located, is not within the territory of Argentina. Although Argentina has repeatedly claimed sovereignty, the Chileans also claim that they have sovereignty over that area.

It is also because of this that now the American company does not pay a peso tax at all.Unless, the province of Buenos Aires is able to propose a border 200 km east from Viedma.

In fact, this is also a good option.

At this moment, Davis Douglas said from the side.

"Mr. President, I feel that as a company that manufactures on Argentine soil, he has to pay taxes to Argentina, and we have to send customs officers there, not just because their tax dollars can fill our empty treasury. , and more importantly, this is not only about the dignity of Argentina, but also about the future of Argentina."

As a diplomat, Davis Douglas seemed to be talking about the dignity of the country and the future when he said these words, but in fact, he was talking about money--taxes!

In fact, it's not just taxes, so a big fat sheep is lying beside him, how can it be possible to not move evil thoughts?
"future?"

Bartolomé Miter nodded.

"Indeed, with the arrival of the "Great Orient", if we don't take action, maybe a few years, ten years later, a new country will appear in the south of Argentina!"
