Southwest rain (3)

After resting for a night at the Governor's Office in the Southwest Territory, the fat man hurriedly summoned the three giants of the Southwest Territory and ordered them to secretly investigate the business alliance. On the afternoon of the next day, the fat man set off again, leaving the southwest capital under the escort of dozens of guard cavalry, and headed towards the Lead military port on the coast of the Southwest Territory.

Leader Military Port was an important maritime stronghold built by the Falcon Empire after occupying the Southwest Territory, using the original Gallic Navy base. At the beginning of the year, the Imperial Navy Minister Dustramka reported to the Fatty the expansion budget of a huge military port with a total of 5 million gold coins, and required the large-scale expansion of the military port left by the original Gallic Navy in the Southwest Territory, and the rebuilding of nineteen various docks that can repair large Falcon Empire naval battleships, eight shipyards, large military barracks facilities that can accommodate 50,000 sailors and three Navy buildings.

In the report of Dustralenka, it was specially stated that the Lead military port, which was once a child of the Gallic Navy base, has excellent water depth and is located at an important geographical location at the intersection between the Central European and Northern European Barros. It is also known as the "two nails to stabilize the central European Barros in the seas of Central European Barros, and is a maritime hub called Kasili Island, which is southward to the Gangfei seas, and is like a portal.

"If the excellent wood transported from the Putuo area can be continuously obtained, every quarter, a Dragon-class main warship will be launched from the Lead Military Port, which is extremely conducive to the Imperial Navy's strategic goal of absolute control over the Central European and European Barros. "Dustrenke's decisive statement undoubtedly hits the Fatty's most concerned place. The stability of the Central European Barros is related to the security of the northwest of the Empire.

It can be seen that Dustralenka had a special liking for the former Gallic Navy base camp. Although the imperial finance was still a little nervous at that time, the fat man still gritted his teeth and approved this very life-threatening plan because of the navy's combat line. With the Empire's victory over the Gangfei Navy, it has been pushed to the Gangfei sea area. It is impossible for every time the warship damage occurs, it must be dragged to the sea city in the northwest for repair. This constantly requires the retrieval of a limited number of forces and requires a lot of funds. Therefore, the importance of building a strategic supply center in the southwest territory away from the Gangfei sea area is self-evident.

When I arrived at the Southwest Territory this time, the fat man naturally had to go and see the largest logistics port where he had invested a lot of money. There is also a plan proposed by Dustramka.

The navy is also a human being. It fights at sea all year round, and the combat cycle is calculated in months. It is almost rare to have time to return to the empire, which leads to complaining inside the navy soldiers. Therefore, when proposing to expand this military port, Dustram Kei advised Fatty, "Since His Majesty can provide construction settlements for other forces, the Navy Department also hopes to build some settlements within the scope of its own military port. This can reduce the concern of naval soldiers about their homeland and effectively attract immigrants from the local area."

This kind of reasonable demand that kills two birds with one stone and is beneficial to the empire. The fat man naturally would not refuse.

The report he replied that the empire had limited financial resources and land could be allocated to the Admiralty. Everything else needed to be solved by the Admiralty itself. The reply made a decision immediately. The first settlement of the naval family was the Lead Military Port. The distance from the southwest capital to the Lead Military Port was 180 miles. This was done in the past, even if it was riding a horse, it would take at least two days, but now it is different. After half a year of restorative construction, the main roads of the entire province were completely built according to the imperial standards, which could be arranged side by side by side by side by side.

The ground was paved with gravel and crushed back and forth with huge rolling stones. Of course, the Gallic prisoners of war were able to quickly complete such a large project in half a year. At present, the number of Gallic prisoners of war under the empire is as high as 130,000. This is an extremely objective construction army, divided into ten labor camps by the Falcon Empire. The roads from the southwest to the Rusty area were all repaired by these cheap laborers. The empire did not treat these precious laborers harshly. The food was not bad. The empire still needs many places in the empire, so they don’t want the prisoners to work hungry!

Horse riding on such a flat and straight and smooth main road undoubtedly greatly shortened the time. I rested in a small town I passed by in the middle of the night. At noon the next day, the fat man and the guards had appeared on the outer hills of the Lead Military Harbor. The sea breeze blew towards me with a faint salty smell.

In the area 20 miles from Leyard, some small towns can be seen. The closer they are to Leyard, the more dense the population is, the more they are. Finally, they pass through a narrow walkway, and a sloped mountain path leading to the coast appears in front of the fat man. The outline of the city can be seen in the distance.

"hiss!"

The fat man stopped his war horse suddenly, looked ahead with his eyes bulging, took a deep breath of air conditioning, and was a little stunned. The military port that suddenly appeared in front was simply a medium-sized city. Although the report said that the Lead military port was isolated from the urban area, from the intersection, the scope of the military port was not large. Instead, the civilian area stood three-quarters of the entire military port. Various buildings were gathered, and civilian and military were mixed together. The area was very large, almost covering the space in front of him. The internal roads were crisscrossed, like a medium-sized town with dense population.

Although I was mentally prepared, this huge surprise made the fat man's eyebrows rise involuntarily. I didn't expect that the Navy's movements would be so big, and the Navy's private money was hidden a lot!

The fat man was a little angry. In his original imagination, although Dustramkay proposed that there was no problem with the so-called naval family gathering area, he asked him to raise funds himself. According to the style of the Navy Department, known as the "Moonlight Clan", it would be very good to be able to reach the scale of 5,000 immigrants.

But unexpectedly, what suddenly appeared before me would be such a giant.

Here, a densely packed residential area covers almost half of the area, opposite the naval barracks like blue clouds. The port location is tall, like giant reptiles lying on the seaside, and the tall admiral building forms an independent area.

The combat area and the living area are separated by three walls of the Imperial Navy Marine Harbor, which are separated by 50 meters.

The dense complex has a pleasing layout, like a concave ring embraced by the blue sea. It expands outward layer by layer, reflecting in the golden sunlight of the setting sun, making it look particularly peaceful and beautiful. Countless black spots of white sails come and go on the nearby sea surface.

It can be seen that the terrain here is excellent, the land is fertile, the fishery resources are rich, and it is located in the north and south, whether it is commercial or civil. It is an excellent place to live. In a word, this guy Dustramka had been planning for a long time when he was making a report!

The fat man didn't know that since he received the approval at the beginning of the year, the Navy Department began to immigrate while expanding and using its own convenience to maritime transportation, a total of 55,000 immigrants entered the Leyard area from the empire. It was like moving a medium-sized city over, and the Supervision Department found some of them.

But after reading the document submitted by the Admiralty Department, he turned a blind eye

Your Majesty has approved it, and the Supervision Department has no reason to cause trouble. You should know that in the imperial world, the Navy has already had a position of competing with the Army, especially at the beginning of the year, the Navy's monetization in the Gangfei War was very strong. It almost surpassed the Army, which had only fought a few battles,

The navy soldiers fought bloody in front of him, and the Supervision Department was embarrassed to come out and drag him down!

"Let's go in!" The fat man raised his hand angrily. He rode his horse into the civil area of ​​the port. The scene in front of him was even more lively. Several civil docks had never been deserted, even in the middle of the night. In the evening when the fat man arrived, it was the busiest time of the day. You could see dense transport ships docking. Dock workers, like ants, pushed cars of all sizes, unloaded goods from the transport ship, and then moved other goods from the dock warehouse to the cargo ship. The noise was the neighing of mules and horses, and the shippers kept shouting and gestured to avoid accidents.

The fat man looked at the four dock berths near the bell tower. After loading the cargo, the transport ship was swaying and disappeared on the sea in the distance without passing through the port's inventory. His face looked a little confused, and he couldn't help but cursed, "Dustrenkay, this bastard! He was simply smuggling openly!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to inform Lord Dustralenkay? The captain of the guard who followed him, looked at His Majesty's face that seemed to have been cheated of pocket money, and asked carefully.

"No, Dustramkay is now in charge of withdrawal of troops!" The fat man suppressed his anger and waved his hand. "Let's go to the Admiralty first, and tell the bastard based on normal procedures. I'm waiting for him in Leyard! I want to see how he explains this matter."

Putao Regional Port, La Alup

The sun is particularly beautiful, like slender lines falling on the quiet sea surface, and a layer of light golden light is embroidered with the waves. The sunlight falls on everyone, with a warm and warm feeling. However, this is only compared to morning, when noon comes, the sunlight begins to gradually become violent. The highest height at the La Alupu Port is naturally the clock tower close to the pier. Unlike other ordinary clock towers in ports, the clock tower in Jinling Port looks particularly tall, with a spacious space inside, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

This is not only a place for daily dock managers to work, but also a landmark building that guides ships to dock. The bell tower is also specially painted, and the air is filled with the strong smell of lime water.

"Ah Cut" In a room, a sneezing sound came. The Imperial Navy Minister Dustramkay touched his itchy nose in a daze, and inexplicably felt a chill coming out of his back. "What's wrong today? Why haven't your business agreement been sent yet? I'm leaving soon, but there's not so much time to delay here."

He said anxiously in his heart, walking around in the large office at the highest point of the bell tower. This office seemed relatively cool because the sea breeze blew in one after another. Although the weather was getting hotter, the sea breeze was still very cool. Unfortunately, the sea breeze often changed disorderly and sometimes no.

"It's soon, it's soon, it's soon, it's here."

Several Stratt nobles accompanied the smile and said that they felt a little nervous and trepidated that in early April, the Falcon Empire had signed an agreement on mutual trade with the Stratt Sea Kingdom and promised each other that they had the obligation to protect the trade of each other's merchant ships within their control. Based on this, the Stratt merchants were equal to gaining the power to enter the northwest waters of Obalo, while the Falcon Empire's merchants gained the power to enter the inland sea. With mutual understanding, the Stratt people realized that the Falcon Empire, which suddenly rose in the northwest region, was the land of the continent that was rumored to be missing. In addition, the Stratt nobles found Dustramkay again and asked the Falcon Empire to open up the trade rights of the empire at the same time.

"Sir, your Majesty's order!" At this moment, an adjutant of the Admiralty walked in with an anxious look. Dustramka picked it up and looked at it, his body trembled for a moment, stopped and asked, "How could your Majesty be in Leyard! Why didn't there be any news before?"

"The ministry was also in a mess. It is said that His Majesty was furious and almost lifted the roof of the Admiralty!" The adjutant of the Admiralty said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty seems to be Lead who was temporarily going to Lead. Before going to Lead, he also went to the Southwest Governor's Office. It is said that he also criticized Lord Salon quite severely!"

"Damn it. This is troublesome!" Dustramka heard that Lian Salon's confidant cursed, and his face turned pale slightly, and his eyes were anxiously looking at the busy dock outside, where more than a dozen imperial transport ships were docked. A large number of soldiers wearing light armored armored soldiers were carrying heavy backpacks and carrying weapons in their hands. These were troops that had not been completely evacuated in the Putao War. As the empire was weakly moved to Beijing, it was obvious that it had given up the possibility of military revenge. It was obvious that it would allow tens of thousands of troops to be stationed in a small place like Putao. Moreover, many troops were also adjusting their return to China this time. The fat man specifically asked Dustramka to lead the fleet to take back the troops stranded in Putao, leaving only a standing guard with 8,000 people.

"How many people have already been!" Dustramkay asked

"More than 16,000 people, and there are still 3,000 people to complete." The adjutant of the Navy replied cautiously. Dustram nodded with a heavy face. Thinking of His Majesty the angry face, the Imperial Navy General couldn't help but feel a little headache. His Majesty's anger was probably going to fall this time! His hand holding the letter was trembling a little!

"Sir, look at the agreement..." The Stratt noble seemed to feel something

"I'm afraid I can't submit it to His Majesty the Emperor for the time being. Next time! Your agreement can be handed over to the management officer of the Empire's Putao area, so that he can submit it according to the procedures." Dustrak waved his hand with some annoyance. When these Stratts felt something was wrong, they immediately showed their nature to change their minds. It was really annoying!

The Strandman left in disgrace, leaving Dustramke alone to think about the solution,

"Sir, a letter to you!" Just when he was feeling anxious, the adjutant pushed the door and said with a strange expression.

Dustralenka glanced at the exquisite and gorgeous cover. The smooth and neat cover and exquisite handwriting should have been written by the noble lady. This made him frown slightly, what's going on! When did the imperial guards become a messenger!

He angrily wanted the adjutant to throw away the letter, but his eyes swept over the adjutant's strange face, and finally he held back and asked angrily, "Who sent it?"

"A woman who claims to be Turit Colleen! She said that the lord will meet her!" said the adjutant with a complicated expression.

"What did you say?" Dustramkay looked stunned and his eyes were slightly bright. He thought he had heard it wrong, so he quickly confirmed again, "What's the name of that woman you said?"

"Turite Colleen! Lord!" The adjutant was startled by his expression and quickly repeated "That woman is at the door below!"

"Bastard, idiot, what are you waiting for here! Let Your Highness come in immediately!" Dustramka shouted to the adjutant while panickingly tidying up his collar. Suddenly, he thought of something and shouted again, "No, I'll go in person!"

A gorgeous carriage parked under the port lighthouse, holding a companion certificate issued by the Imperial Administration Officer in his hand. Turit Colleen was wearing a white long dress and covered with a veil on his head. He stood at the position of the lighthouse. From here, he could see the entire port at all. Looking at the large transport ships anchored at the port and watching teams of murderous soldiers walking onto the transport ships, Turit Colleen's eyes were filled with a ray of light.

She had never asked about the military affairs at the beginning, because the fat man didn't want her to ask about the military affairs.

Next to Turit Colleen there is a beautiful woman in a palace dress wearing a black long dress. She looks a bit similar to Turit Colleen. She is watching so many soldiers from the Empire evacuate from the Putuo. This is not a small move. This means that the Falcon Empire's strategy for the Putuo has undergone tremendous changes.

She couldn't help but become curious. What kind of important person is the one he said in the Falcon Empire?

If the name Falcon Empire was unfamiliar before, but in these three months, the name Falcon Empire has shocked too many countries.

Although she was not involved in government affairs, she also heard some news about the northern part of Obaro. The Falcon Army defeated the 500,000 troops of the Gaul Empire in the north. That was after the Falcon Empire forced Gangfei to move to Beijing, which once again shocked the entire Obaro continent.

Even the serious duke who has always disdained to express himself said that it was impossible to argue that the Falcon Empire entered the ranks of mainland powers in a battle, and it was undisputed that it defeated Gaul again, proving that the Falcon Empire is on the throne of overlord in the northern region of Obarro!
