Valley Emperor

Because their new territory is located in the sub-Saharan area, mainly on the banks of the Gambia River, and a large area inland. In terms of area, it is naturally very large, some of which are barren, but some are also good places. .

However, like the Twelve South Seas, the Danes' new territories also did not include coastlines.

Although their new territory is on both sides of the Gambia River, the mouth of the Gambia River does not belong to them.

For Datang, it was nothing to give them a large inland area, but the coastal areas, if they went to the sea, must be controlled by themselves.

Even if the Tang Dynasty in Banjul didn't pay much attention to it before, it still doesn't give it.

Banjul, like many of Datang's colonial port cities on the west coast of Africa, originally belonged to the Portuguese, and was later handed over to Datang. However, Datang did not pay much attention to this small port, because this The location of the small port is not important, and the Gambia River is not a big river, and it does not go too deep into the African interior.

After Datang controlled many coastal colonies of the Portuguese, except for a few that paid more attention, most of them did not pay much attention, and Banjul was also one of the ports that did not pay much attention.

This is because Datang now travels between oceans with steam and steel ships. The tonnage usually starts at 1,000 tons. Two or three thousand tons is normal. The tonnage is large, the self-sustaining force is better, and the endurance is quite good.

At the same time, the speed of the sailboat is only faster than that of the sailboat, and the running route is also straight.

Therefore, the time required for Datang's steam ships to travel from one place to another is much shorter than that of sailboats.

This also reduces the need for coastal supply ports.

In the old days of sailing, the Portuguese and Spaniards established supply ports all over the world, and the Datang people were no exception. They established many, or even dense, supply ports in the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the eastern coast of Africa.

These supply ports are basically useless on weekdays. They are used to supply only fresh water and fresh food to passing sailboats.

But now, many of these small ports of pure supply are gradually declining.

Because Datang is more inclined to focus on the development of large ports with relatively important locations, such as the Southeast Asia region, they focus on the development of the three major ports of Luzon Port, Banten Port, and Malacca Port, while in the Indian Peninsula region, it is the main port. Develop Colombo Port, supplemented by Goa Port, Goa Port, and Tomu Port. In West Asia, the ports of Hormuz and Aden are mainly developed.

In the Americas, there are mainly Xinjinshan, Xinnangang and Sanhe ports, and Booth and Fuego in South America.

In Africa, in the early stage, it was mainly to develop the Port of Madi, the Port of Madagascar, the Port of West India, and the Port of South Africa.

Among them, the South African port is the most important.

Later, after the Portuguese took over the west coast of Africa, although all the colonies were accepted, the main focus was on a few important ports.

Mainly in central Luanda, Guinea, and Cape Verde.

The Cape Verde Islands are the focus.

Because the geographical location of this place is relatively important, it can be said that it is a strategic hub between South Africa and Ceuta. Datang operates the Cape Verde Islands as a strategic location on the spot.

Not only a large-scale port was built, but also a thorough localization, fortification, military facilities were built on several important islands, and troops were stationed.

Because the main development focus of Datang in this area is on the Cape Verde Islands.

Even if a part of the energy can be allocated to the development of the port on the opposite African continent, the priority is to develop the nearby Dakar port. This place is very close to the Cape Verde Islands and its geographical location is not bad. In recent years, it has been regarded as the main port by Datang Supply port to use.

The southern port of Banjul, like other small ports, maintains its original appearance. The steam ships of Datang traveling to and from Africa basically do not enter this small port, because there is not even a coal warehouse in that broken place. No.

However, it is estimated that it can develop in the future, because this place will be the only port for the Danes to contact Datang in the near future.

The Datang fleet, full of Danes, spewing thick smoke, set off from Gobenhaben, entered the North Sea first, and then continued southward through the English Channel.

Then entered the port of Ceuta for some supplies, including fresh water, food and coal.

Geographically speaking, Ceuta is not very suitable as a transit port, at least the Spanish Cadiz is more suitable geographically.

But who made Cadiz belong to the Spaniards and Ceuta belonged to the Tang people.

And more importantly, Ceuta Port is Datang's strategic bridgehead in Europe. It not only has a strong military force, but also various facilities are quite complete. In the port, there are even some that are hard to see in overseas territories. Various mechanical equipment.

Because Ceuta is more strategically important, although it has not yet been approved by the Empire to become an overseas homeland, it has not been able to complete localization.

However, like the South African Port and the New South Port, special approval was obtained to establish a ship repair yard directly managed by the Navy.

Some machinery and equipment specially designed for ships are installed in it, and the main purpose is to provide maintenance and repair services for warships.

In addition, it will also provide maintenance services for the steam merchant ships of Datang.

In other words, the current port of Ceuta is the only port in North Africa and Europe that can provide maintenance and repair services to the ships of Datang.

Its status is similar to that of South Africa and New South Port.

However, it can only be carried out for simple repairs. These simple shipyards have limited skills and limited technicians. If it is to be overhauled, then it is basically necessary to return to the local shipyard for overhaul.

But that's enough.

Basically, almost all the ships of Datang's activities in Europe, regardless of whether it is a warship or a merchant ship, their home port is Ceuta, because only in Ceuta can they be maintained.

As a result, many Datang ships ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ traveling to and from Europe and Africa will also choose to stop at the port of Ceuta for supplies.

After the fleet left the port of Ceuta, the scene of the port of Ceuta shocked the Danes on board again.

Although Europeans are no strangers to Datang people these days, Datang people’s footprints have spread to almost every port in Europe, and the steam liner of Datang people has even opened regular flights to and from various ports.

Therefore, the Danes are not surprised by the Datang ships of one or two thousand tons or even larger tonnage they are riding, because they have been in contact with many aircrafts.

But it was the first time they saw the city of the Tang Dynasty.

Even if you look at it from the bow of the boat, you can see the huge difference between the cities of the Tang Dynasty and the cities of Europeans.

The huge difference that makes them stunned!
