The cold wind is blowing at Changshan Port, but a huge fleet is ready to go.
The core of the fleet is the USS Seahawk aircraft carrier.
With the aircraft carrier as the core and surrounded by a complete fleet, it was the first detachment of the Atlantic Fleet; of course, many changes have taken place now.
With the fleet as the center, there are hundreds of large and small merchant ships surrounding it.
The largest merchant ship has a displacement of up to 200,000 tons. Although it is not as long as an aircraft carrier, it is so large that it can remain motionless in the rolling waves.
There is more than one such huge merchant ship. It is fully loaded with steel and profiles, engineering machinery, military equipment, reinforced concrete, etc. from Dayang Group, and is ready to follow the fleet to the target - Baiyun City.
Today's mercenary guild is under construction in full swing, and its demand for various resources is massive.
Of the 400 billion funds gathered by all parties before, the liquid wealth, that is, spiritual stones, amounted to as much as 70 billion. 20 billion of them were used for the construction of cities, residences, etc.
Baiyun City's goal is to become a modern city like Ninghe City, the headquarters of Dayang Group. It even includes urban rail transit systems such as subways.
However, the fleet's goal is not Baiyun City on Sanxian Island. The fleet is just passing by here; the fleet's goal is to the south of Maotu Continent, where it will take revenge and capture some big monsters to test the "Beast Control" technique.
.
After nearly a year of hard work, Dayang Group has basically restored the "possibly" complete "Beast Control" technique.
With each additional technique, the masters of Dayang Group have one more choice.
The methods of Dharma and Yang Shen are certainly good, but they are not suitable for everyone.
According to the speculations of Zhang Hao and the experts of Dayang Group, the method of controlling beasts, that is, the art of external elixir, is especially suitable for people who are not very qualified!
Also, only by understanding each exercise can we respond better.
What worries Dayang Group even more is that with every additional exercise, there is an additional thought, which can be used to learn from each other and improve one's own Dharma path.
The path of Dharma is the core of Dayang Group, and "Zhou Tiangong" is currently the top skill in the world.
In addition, light reflection can also promote technological progress, etc.
Dugu Junjie braved the cold wind and calmly arranged the fleet. Half an hour later, the fleet finally set off.
The aircraft carrier is in the center, protected by the battleships; the outermost is the cruiser. In fact, the current cruiser functions as a destroyer. However, the performance of the Qinglang-class cruiser is sufficient, and Dayang Group has not designed a new battleship.
When a complete aircraft carrier formation is deployed, it will cover a range of approximately 20 to 30 kilometers.
The aircraft carrier was training while moving forward. Fighters kept roaring in the sky.
At this time, the aircraft carrier already has 60 fighter jets, which has reached the design limit of the aircraft carrier. Adding more fighter jets will not increase combat effectiveness, but will increase consumption.
Merchant ships and others followed behind, and the entire team sailed eastward at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
It was very peaceful along the way. The only thing that was not peaceful was the training of the aircraft and the training of the fleet.
The fleet is replenished once when it passes by Black Scale Island, the North Sea Port of the Xuanming Sect in Taotu Continent, and Three Immortals Island; the fleet maintains peak combat effectiveness at all times and practices rapid replenishment.
Also, after passing Sanxian Island, there are no suitable supply points in the distance to the south of Maotu Continent.
In the north of Maotu Island, within the scope of the Hongshan Holy Land, and at the mouth of the Red River, Dayang Group purchased this estuary. Dayang Group built a city here - Honghe City. But this new city is still under construction.
.
The merchant ships following the fleet this time had a lot of transportation materials to support the construction of Honghe City.
On the 28th day after the fleet set off, the team arrived at Honghe City. The fleet only received supplies from the accompanying merchant ships of the Ocean Group, and then headed south.
At this point, all the masters following the fleet have dispersed. If they continue to follow, Dayang Group will fall out.
We will start military operations from now on. What does it mean if you follow us again?
However, the fleet had just left the port and before it had time to speed up, Dugu Junjie received an urgent order from Zhang Hao.
"There can be any emergency orders, wars, etc., it has nothing to do with us." Dugu Junjie was a little confused.
The word "emergency" cannot be used indiscriminately. The word "emergency" cannot be used in every situation.
Dugu Junjie took a look at the telegram and frowned.
This so-called emergency order was actually to rescue a caravan, a caravan registered here with Dayang Group.
Today's Dayang Group, said to be a group, is actually a complete administrative system and a country. Therefore, there are many teams within the scope of Dayang Group's rule.
These are not branches of Dayang Group, but they are registered within the jurisdiction of Dayang Group. They include mercenaries, private schools, various business teams, etc. They pay taxes to Dayang Group, and also accept the management and even protection of Dayang Group.
There are countless commercial organizations under the control of Dayang Group. Small ones, such as shops and snacks, only require one or two people; large ones, such as foreign trade groups, can have thousands or even tens of thousands of employees.
If you want to register within Dayang Group, you need to be a local of Dayang Group - mainly people from Ninghe County and Nanyang County, and have an identity certificate issued by Dayang Group.
And this time, it was such a foreign trade group that asked for help - Jingcheng Trading.
Jingcheng Trading is mainly responsible for the sales of machine tools of Dayang Group, as well as corresponding consumables and technical services, and after-sales services - part of the after-sales service of Dayang Group is handed over to agents.
Even Jingcheng Trading has its own factory, which mainly produces some machine tool consumables with certain technical content.
In addition, Jingcheng Trading will also do other trades. For example, arms, spiritual materials, elixirs, etc.
In the business hierarchy of Dayang Group, Jingcheng Trading is a medium-sized business group.
Micro/self-employed: total assets within 500,000 - calculated as above-grade spiritual stones.
Small: total assets less than 5 million;
Small and medium-sized: total assets less than 50 million;
Medium-sized: total assets less than 300 million;
Medium and large: total assets less than 1 billion;
Large: total assets less than 3 billion;
More than 3 billion, it is a very large one; currently, within the scope of Dayang Group, there is only Dayang Group itself.
This time, taking advantage of the expansion of the mercenary guild, Jingcheng Trading boldly went deep into the Maotu Continent, hoping to develop the market and seize the market.
The idea is very good, but the Muotu Continent has not yet been opened to the public, and the Ocean Group's contact with the Mutu Continent is limited to limited seaside areas.
But because of the success of the Mercenary Guild, the senior management of Jingcheng Trading believes that this is an opportunity. Maotu Continent is an undeveloped virgin land, and this will be an opportunity for Jingcheng Trading to rise.
Therefore, Jingcheng Trading almost tried its best. If it was not enough to use all the working capital, it also mortgaged part of the industry and borrowed a total of 60 million high-grade spiritual stones.
Then they purchased top-notch single-crystal spiritual materials, machine tools, arms, etc. from Dayang Group, and rented a merchant ship from Dayang Group to arrive at Honghe City, which was under construction; then the group used spells and some simple flight launches to bring a large amount of goods with them.
, flew to the interior of Maotu Island.
As a result, he was stopped before crossing the Red Mountain Holy Land and reaching the next holy land, Heming Mountain.
Now in danger, he asked Dayang Group for help. Zhang Hao, without any hesitation, asked Dugu Junjie to come to the rescue and promised to use all means.
After clarifying the cause and effect, Dugu Junjie was a little dazed - needless to say, Zhang Hao's decision obviously exceeded the understanding of everyone in this era, including Dugu Junjie.
But Dugu Junjie was a qualified commander, so he immediately sent a telegram back, accepted the order, and immediately established sincere business contacts.
…………
In a desolate mountain wilderness, sincere businessmen looked around with vigilance.
It was already winter at this time, but the temperature here in the lush soil continent was roughly equivalent to the late autumn temperature in the fertile soil continent, and the surrounding jungle was dense.
Because it had just rained slightly, the mountains and fields were green and full of life.
The mountain breeze blows, bringing a light fragrance.
It's a pity that there are no birds and insects chirping around. Because there is a confrontation between the Four Hundred Transformation Stages here!
Trapped in the center is the team of Jingcheng Trading, including more than 80 gods (gold body realm) and more than a thousand members.
And around them, there were three waves of bandits, each wave numbering hundreds of people.
Huang Min, the general manager of Jingcheng Trading, has his intestines turned green. Let alone the 60 million high-grade spiritual stones, it is still unknown whether all of them can leave alive.
Although he sent a distress signal with the telegraph he carried, to be honest, Huang Min didn't have any hope - it was just that there was no hope. In the end, the only thing he could think of, the only way to struggle: send a signal to Dayang Group.
The telegram frequency band sent is a semi-public frequency band of Dayang Group - you will be informed during company training, etc.; this frequency band can be said to be a public channel for the people of Dayang Group.
But this frequency band can only be used to call for help, provide civilian information, etc.
Unfortunately, it seems that it has never been used much.
The telegraph signal was first transmitted to Honghe City. Dayang Group's telegraph manager in Honghe City received it and sent a signal back to Huang Min, who then asked Huang Min to send more information. After that, there was no news.
Now, it has been more than half an hour.
In fact, Huang Min never thought that Dayang Group would come to the rescue.
There would be no such rescue in the entire known world, let alone a group of people in such a ghostly place.
However, there are a few young people still guarding the telegraph machine, and that may be the only hope.
Many people even looked at Huang Min with eyes filled with complaints.
Huang Min sat on a rock with wet soil, and there was a stain on his pants. He only regretted it at this time.
After entering here half a day ago, hundreds of God-Transformation Stages suddenly appeared. These God-Transformation Stages were surrounded by beasts. These guys didn't say anything, and they killed each other when they came up.
Many people in Jingcheng Trading were injured, and some whose cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul stage suffered heavy casualties - those at the Golden Core stage and below were not taken with them.
After a moment of fierce fighting, Huang Min suddenly had an idea and shouted that all the goods would be destroyed, and the opponent stopped.
Then two groups of people appeared one after another. The three parties began to confront each other, but they jointly blocked Jingcheng Commerce.
Huang Min threatened to destroy the goods to gain some temporary respite and set up a defensive barrier, but this was just a last resort. Seeing that the three parties seemed to have gradually reached an agreement, the shadow of death gradually fell.
The words discussed by the three parties were obviously in the local dialect, perhaps a dialect, and Huang Min couldn't understand a word of it. But looking at the fierce looks the three parties looked at from time to time, he could probably understand that they must eradicate the root cause.
Among the three people, the most distinctive ones are from the south. Standing in the center, there are a few masters who do not have monsters around them, but there are a few brightly colored Gu insects!
Suddenly, the three parties dispersed and began to surround the barrier.
The staff of Jingcheng Trading immediately became nervous and took out some munitions. There were even bombs placed among various items, ready to kill them all without leaving a single tile behind. Even precious single crystal spiritual materials were placed on the flame formation to be melted.
.
Seeing Jingcheng Trading doing this, the three parties hesitated again.
At this moment, the people from the West said in a slightly lame tone that was like cutting flesh with a blunt knife from Kunlun Continent: "If you are willing to surrender and give all your property, you can be allowed to live. But you need to be slaves here for ten years.
Year!"
Ten years of slavery? After ten years, your bones will be able to beat a drum, right?
Sincere business, everyone is unmoved.
Huang Min knew even more clearly that the most likely approach of the other party was to eliminate the root cause and hide all the crimes.
The outside world tried to persuade him again, but after three times he lost patience and began to command monsters to attack.
"Boom..." The ground trembled, and a group of more than 30 giant apes with a height of more than 20 meters appeared in the west, carrying iron rods that were more than two meters thick and 12 to 13 meters long, and rolled over with a rumble.
The power of the monster beast makes people tremble even through the defensive barrier.
Song Xuewen, the security director of Jingcheng Trading, gulped, "To be able to take out so many giant apes, it must be the Holy Land! Are they not afraid of the Dayang Group's retaliation?!"
Wei Zhihai, the technical chief engineer of Jingcheng Trading, squatted next to the telegraph machine and exclaimed, "Retaliation? How else can I retaliate? I have added the Maotu Continent to the colony.
When we set off, all parties were already preparing for war. Maybe next spring, Maotu Continent will face an invasion."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed - their last extravagant hopes were shattered. The other party was not afraid of Dayang Group at all, or in other words, they were already full of anger towards Dayang Group.
In the past, there was no way to exchange techniques such as Dharma images. They were forced into a corner by the Ocean Group. It does not mean that a continent and so many holy places have become a tortoise!
In fact, the only technique that Maotu Continent has produced is "Beast Control", and more techniques, such as raising Gu, have not been produced at all!
While he was talking, more than thirty giant apes came over. The iron rod in his hand hit the barrier with a bang, and the barrier trembled violently, and cracks appeared one after another.
Jingcheng Trading's attack fell on the giant apes, but it didn't cause much damage! The surface of these giant apes' bodies shone with a metallic luster.
Beast control uses human wisdom to bring the monster's physique to its limit! This is a true alliance of powerful forces!
After an attack, everyone in Jingcheng Trading changed their colors.
However, at this time, two groups of people from the south and east also moved.
