Naturally, the British were unwilling because this was an area that they had disputed with the Tsarist Russians.

Although the British did not officially occupy this place, there were already some British expeditions operating here.

There was also a colonial company called the Hudson's Bay Company that established a base here.

This is a purely private company owned by James Douglas.

In order to solve this problem for the British, Dong Shuheng asked the Alaska Mining Company to come forward and buy the Hudson Bay Company from James Douglas at a high price.

Hudson's Bay has been operating at a loss, and the company's headquarters has moved several times.

Sea otters in North America were decimated due to overhunting by the Russians. This led to the decline of the Hudson's Bay Company.

Therefore, Douglas has long been ready to sell the company.

It happened that the Chinese were willing to pay for the acquisition, and Douglas, who had no official background, readily agreed.

Along with Fort Victoria, which they built, all of the company's assets were sold to Alaska Mining.

However, later Alaska Mining discovered gold mines nearby, and Douglas, who had returned to England to live a rich life, regretted it.

But by that time, the Renaissance Army had already built this place into a city.

Because of the actions of the Renaissance Army on the west coast, a small British fleet that had been cruising in the Pacific noticed this place.

So the British fleet was ordered to check the situation. This small British fleet was small in size, with only two cruisers and four frigates.

This is not the core area of ​​the British, so it is impossible for the British to send their main fleet here.

The two sides first met in Viloria Bay on the southeast side of Vancouver Island.

At this time, Bao Youzhi was leading the fleet to protect the construction of the fort here.

After buying Fort Victoria from Douglas, the Renaissance Army quickly sent people to explore the island.

After investigation, it was found that the island has a very good climate and is suitable for development into farmland.

The climate here is much better than in Alaska to the north.

Generally speaking, Chinese people will not refuse cultivable land.

Dong Shuheng decided to sell these lands.

In the future, development here in North America will mainly be based on the large farm model. Because the infrastructure here is too backward, most places are in a primitive state.

If development is carried out purely through government immigration, not only will the cost be too high, but the efficiency will also be too low.

Of course, to develop this place, we must first effectively occupy it. Then a mature port is essential.

Originally, Douglas did not build any defensive facilities here.

Naturally, the Renaissance Army cannot continue like this. They are preparing to occupy this place permanently, so the defense of the port is essential.

Before the fort was established, Bao Youzhi had to lead a fleet to protect the construction workers here.

This group of fort construction teams has been building forts outside for the past two years. They built the second port defense line in the Western Pacific.

They have been building port facilities along the Pacific coast with their fleets, and they have rich experience.

When it comes to infrastructure, Greater China has always been unparalleled in the world.

While the fort was under construction, the British fleet arrived.

This fleet had been to Fort Victoria before, and they knew it was operated by a British company.

Unexpectedly, what floated above now was the red-bottomed Golden Dragon Rider of the Renaissance Army.

The British fleet thought it was the Renaissance Army that was forcibly occupying the place.

So as soon as they came up, they got into a battle formation.

Bao Youzhi did not show any weakness at all, seeing that the opponent's fleet was about the same size as his own.

He took the fleet to meet him.

The war between students and teachers is about to begin.

At this critical moment, the commanders of both fleets saw their old acquaintances through their telescopes.

Yes, the commander of the British fleet opposite was none other than Alvin, who had previously served as an adviser to Bao Youzhi in the North Sea Navy.

"I'm going..." Bao Youzhi couldn't help but cursed.

On the opposite side of the British fleet, Alvin also used foul language.

"Fake!"

The two have similar personalities and are very good friends.

So the two of them had a meeting on the sea in a small boat.

"Commander Bao, why are you here? As far as I know, this is Fort Victoria of our British Empire." Alvin came up and asked.

"I still want to ask you, this is Wanghua Port of our Renaissance Army. We bought this place from Douglas a few months ago." Bao Youzhi spread his hands and said.

"How could this happen, Commander Bao, you have to know that the entire Canadian region is the territory of the British Empire." Alvin continued to insist.

"Okay, Mr. Alvin, the area of ​​Canada you currently control is only east of the Rocky Mountains. To be precise, this is still Indian territory."

"When it comes to spheres of influence, this should be the sphere of influence of the Tsarist Russian American Company. As you know, the Tsarist American Company has completely transferred its territory in North America to us," Bao Youzhi said.

Bao Youzhi's words left Alvin speechless. The British stalls were bigger than the Chinese stalls.

But how big was the British Empire? Its population was less than one-tenth that of China. How could it effectively occupy so many places?

Bao Youzhi also entertained Alvin on the shore.

"If you have the opportunity to be a guest here in the future, tell me my name and someone will definitely cook the most authentic Chinese food for you." Bao Youzhi enthusiastically embraced his old friend and teacher.

There is no legal problem with the Renaissance Army controlling this place. Alvin has no reason to go to war with Bao Youzhi.

If a war breaks out, Bao Youzhi's side will be supported by half-built forts in the port, and his side seems to have no chance of winning.

Alvin could only leave after walking around and report the situation here to the British government.

The next question can only be decided by the big shots.
