This is an important seaside town in Dongdi Kingdom. There are a large number of industrial areas nearby. After the Industrial Revolution in Dongdi Kingdom, the status of this city began to rise rapidly.
Although several Daqian Empire warships came a while ago, they only fired a few cannons at the harbor and then retreated, which caused them a lot of panic, but did not cause any substantial damage. After simple repairs, the port can continue to be used.
It is now noon, and many workers in the port are also preparing to eat. These ships are all coming from the west, and they are equipped with some mechanical equipment. Dongdi State wants to improve the country's industrial production capacity. Nowadays these equipment can only be imported from the West.
The workers greeted their companions in twos and threes and prepared to go to the side to have a meal. Although Dongdi Kingdom claimed that the entire country had entered the ranks of developed countries, most people's lunch was just a rice ball, and this rice ball was not pure rice. The rice is mixed with some other stuff, so it doesn't taste that delicious.
"Did you say that the warships of the Daqian Empire have left? Are we now at war with the Daqian Empire?"
This topic has been of greatest concern these days. After all, they work at the seaside. If the Daqian Empire's fleet comes again, it will affect their lives.
"There is a person in our village who ran back from Hengfu Port. He said that it has been occupied by the navy of the Daqian Empire, and all our navy has been annihilated. I don't know if this news is true. If it is true, If so, our place will be attacked sooner or later."
A man with a scar on his face said that he had just received this news this morning.
"I think you are thinking too much. What kind of combat power is the navy of the Daqian Empire? Have you all forgotten? In the battle at sea three years ago, they were said to be the strongest fleet in the entire east. In the end, they were still Wasn’t the whole army destroyed? They gave us 200 million silver as compensation!”
When the people of Dongdi Kingdom talked about this incident, almost everyone's face was filled with brilliance. After all, this incident was tantamount to feeling proud. In more than a thousand years, their battle with the Daqian Empire had never been the same. Being able to suddenly destroy all the Daqian Empire's fleets, isn't this something that one should be proud of?
"But the man in our village really said that he was working as a porter at Hengfu Port. Fortunately, he ran faster at that time. If he had run slower, he would have been killed by the warships of the Daqian Empire. .”
Scarface still didn't believe it, and always felt that the man in his village was telling the truth.
"You are really scared..."
"I don't have any courage at all..."
Although they also landed a few shells here, they believed that Dongdi's navy was invincible. How could it be killed by the Daqian Empire? What happened that day was just a coincidence. The higher-ups had already come down to refute the rumors. Is it? It is said that the navy of the Daqian Empire took advantage of our loophole and will be able to annihilate their entire army in two days. At that time, the Daqian Empire will have to pay a large sum of money.
"Captain, why don't you speak?"
Their transport team also has a captain, who usually has the best information, but I don't know why the captain hasn't spoken since morning, and he still looks panicked.
"You are right. The people of the Daqian Empire are no match for us. Just finish your meal quickly and go to work. My mother is sick today and I have already asked for leave from my employer. I will go back and take a look later. Don't be lazy in the afternoon."
The captain tried his best to look calm, but in fact his heartbeat had already reached 120.
The captain's brother is an army officer and is stationed near Qi City. However, he was suddenly transferred away a few days ago. Before he left, someone sent a message that he must go home and not be at the port in the past two months. Work nearby.
The captain doesn't care what people outside say, because those people have everything they say, but his brother is different. Since he was a child, there have only been two brothers in the family, and they trust each other very much, and the younger brother He is not a nonsense person. Since he said this, it means that there is danger here in the port.
Of course, this guy didn't think about sharing it with anyone else, because an order was issued yesterday. If anyone dared to spread rumors in private, he would be tied up and paraded through the streets, so he found a way to ask for leave today. , let’s go home first.
Other people also know the situation at the captain's home. This kind of thing happens often. Everyone is thinking that since the captain is not here, they can get off work early in the evening. Where should they go to have fun?
Soon the whistle sounded in the distance, and it was time for everyone to work again. After all, there was not much rest time every day, and there were no such things as labor laws in this era. Just work more.
The captain ran back to where he lived and took all his valuables with him.
"It's not that I'm unkind, it's just that the superiors have tightened their grip. Brothers, please wish yourselves good luck."
The captain glanced at the working area of the dock. His brothers had already started working, but the captain did not have the time to continue looking. He took his backpack and ran towards the distance. According to what his brother said, don't go along the seaside. Let's go, as far away from the seaside as possible.
People who live by the sea understand this truth. This means that our coast is blocked by enemy warships, and enemy warships may bombard the inland at any time. Only in this way can the people move in.
The captain also understands that when the shells start firing, the limited roads may not be able to accommodate so many people. Everyone is willing to live on the seaside, and there will be more people evacuating by then. While no one is moving yet, hurry home. Run! Buy some food or something along the way. If the war breaks out, the price of food will rise.
boom…
The captain ran with his head down for about half an hour, when he suddenly felt a loud noise behind him.
It's coming...it's coming...
The captain was already five or six kilometers away from the port, but he could still feel the air waves coming from the port, and several small mushroom clouds rose into the sky. This should be the navy of the Daqian Empire.
It's different from the last time. Last time I just threw a few bombs to create panic. This time it seems to be serious, because the number of mushroom clouds is increasing and has covered the entire harbor...
