On a scorching summer day, the air is filled with a faint smell of sea salt. On the beach of Dukou City, more than a dozen huge devices that have never appeared before are showing people their terrifying abilities.
"Squeak..." Along with the sound of the engine turning, the steel cable was pulled straight, and then the huge concrete bricks were hoisted and then thrown into the bay. As these machines worked, a brand new pier was about to be built.
was built.
Work efficiency has never been as dazzling as it is today. For the first time, the mortal country has developed so rapidly. Yesterday it was a quiet bay, but today it has become a huge construction site.
After survey, it was found that this is a very good port. Ireland is planning to build the ferry city into a giant port to support its increasingly large shipping volume. After all, purely in terms of shipping capacity, shipping is still the cheapest and cheapest.
Cheap shipping method.
"I think when General Lawns comes back, he will be shocked by what he sees!" Standing on the brand-new port pier, the mayor of Fukou City proudly showed off to the engineers around him.
He does have the capital to show off. A dozen days ago, this was just an ordinary harbor. As a result, now it is a brand new harbor that is even larger than the old port in Dukou City. This harbor was built with this in mind.
The installation of hoisting equipment and more advanced channels were also planned.
A train track is being laid to connect here. Soon it will be connected to the train station in the old city and become a new transportation node. And everything here is better than that in the old city: bigger
Warehouses, bigger docks, wider berths, taller lighthouses and radar stations like never before...
In several newly built shipyards that didn't even have sheds installed, hundreds of shipwrights were working hard. They were assembling the best wood according to the drawings to turn it into a qualified giant ship.
These giant ships are assembled according to a template, and every step is strictly determined according to the standards. These large sailing ships can carry quite a lot of supplies at a time. The purpose of their birth is to go to the south to purchase enough supplies.
Rubber, supplying more and more rubber needs.
Almost every corner of Ireland, which is fully industrialized, begins to need rubber. Large machinery needs rubber, car tires need rubber, aircraft landing gear needs rubber, and even electricians' insulating gloves need rubber!
Each of these super sailing ships with a tonnage of more than 3,000 tons is a transportation giant. They can be said to be the largest sailing ships built by mortals in the world so far. Their speed can reach 20 kilometers per hour, which is comparable to traditional sailing ships.
Warship.
Responsible for protecting these brand-new sailing ships are new warships built in the old port area of Dukou City. Most of these warships are cargo holds. They are not so much warships as armed smuggling ships that were once popular on the earth.
They are equipped with the lowest firepower configuration, are cheap and only require cheap canvas and wood. Because they do not take up too many resources, they have become the first choice for the sea routes of Ellandhill.
The next time Genesis comes back, he will see a truly huge fleet: because there is no need for so many artillery, as many as 0 of these sailing ships, called "frigates", have been built.
Coupled with the three real warships in the hands of Genesis, he had a powerful fleet. The only mission of this fleet was to protect the transport fleet and purchase a large amount of rubber from Dothan.
Of course, there was another mission that made Dotson realize the gap in his own strength. He was to sell rubber to Alan Hill honestly without any tricks. Compared to the escort mission, Genesis seemed to like this additional
For a small mission, he brought enough artillery shells this time. The coast of the Dothan Empire seemed to be in trouble.
"Five brand new docks are to be built here, and they are actually steel battleships." The city official exhaled and sighed: "I am fifty years old this year, and I have never heard of ironclad ships in my life.
"
He looked at his men and said word by word: "My biggest wish in this life is that the ferry city can become prosperous. Every morning, more than ten fishing boats line up to go fishing... I thought at the time, that is the most beautiful thing.
The scenery.”
"That day, someone came and said that we got the first money and could build a new large fishing boat... I couldn't believe it until I saw the boatmen starting to work and saw the wood
Only after I was sent to the dock did I know that all this was true." When he mentioned these past events, he had a faint smile on his face.
"You don't understand. Before that day, I always thought that the so-called Ellenhill family was the same as Berman. Ferry City just changed its owner and remained the same." Those memories of the past seemed to be in the same place.
His eyes are normal.
The hardship at that time was really fresh in his memory, but then, the good days began to come, just like everything in front of him now, there were construction sites everywhere, busy figures everywhere, happy people everywhere,
They are all cheers of victory.
"But, after that day, I knew I was wrong. A salt farm was opened in Dukou City, and the place began to become wealthy. We built one fishing boat after another, and each one was better and better than the other.
Big." When he mentioned this, the old mayor smiled.
He remembered the way he stood on the pier every morning and looked forward to it. It was as if these things happened yesterday. He was no longer young at that time, but he still looked forward to a miracle that would make his hometown no longer
There is hunger and despair.
Later, his wish came true, sudden and real: "During that period, I stood on the dock every morning and watched ten fishing boats lining up to go out to sea. Later I watched twenty fishing boats leaving in a mighty manner.
, and then I looked at the endless white sails blocking my sight... Now I won't go to the pier, because I know that I don't need to see it."
Thinking of this, he smiled at his assistant and said with emotion: "Who would have thought of this? Ireland is different. It can turn the ferry city into a paradise on earth! Our seafood can be sent to the earth castle by train.
Our dried fish is sold as far away as the vast sea!”
"Our sea salt is already an indispensable living commodity in the grassland empire, and the seafood we produce is His Majesty the King's favorite dinner! We can have so many warships and dozens of transport ships." He said while looking towards
Looking at the distant horizon, look at the white sails there.
He has never seen other famous port cities, but in his opinion, Osa Port, the largest port city in the Dothan Empire in the south, known as the Star of the Ocean, is not as good as the Ferry City at this moment.
"Come back in a year, I guarantee you will have more emotions." A young subordinate standing next to him smiled and comforted: "Our future will be better, this is what His Majesty said!"
The old consul nodded and agreed with what his men said: "Yes! Right now, at this moment, we are no longer satisfied with defeating the enemy. The only thing we want to surpass is ourselves.
We want to build steel battleships to sweep away all enemies on the sea."
He was still looking at the sea: "Under the rule of Eiland Hill, my wife and children had a full meal for the first time in their lives. This made my husband feel extremely satisfied. Later, our lives became better and better.
It gets better and better. Until now, we have delicious dinner every day, our children can go to school, and my wife can take care of the housework at home..."
When an old man is caught up in his memories, he always likes to chatter endlessly. Once something triggering happens, everyone will sigh at the terrifying speed of the development of Alan Hill. Not only the old people, but also the young people can't believe it. Every day is brand new.
The world they look like is the world they live in.
The old mayor withdrew his gaze from the seaside: "When I saw the first fishing boat being pushed into the sea and the mast swaying among the seabirds, I thought of myself as an Irishman for the first time.
I feel that my whole life should be dedicated to Eiland Hill, and I am willing to sacrifice my life to His Majesty the Emperor just for this fishing boat!"
His tone suddenly became firm, and he said word by word: "Look, look at everything in front of you... This is heaven! Everyone I know is willing to die for your majesty! Even if a giant dragon falls from the sky, it will kill you."
Even if everyone is burned to death, I am willing to stand in front of His Majesty the Emperor. No one can hurt him before I turn into ashes!"
In fact, his words represent the aspirations of countless people in Ireland. People are willing to fight for Ireland. After experiencing exploitation and oppression, they cherish the happiness and freedom in front of them.
After being oppressed for thousands of years, mortals finally experienced the feeling of standing up and being human. They were unwilling to kneel down again, even if they paid their lives for it. They would rather die than let their descendants return.
into the darkness they experienced.
In the stubborn tone of the old consul, in the hunting sea breeze, under the cloudless blue sky, as if in response to his belief, the four training e-09 fighter jets formed a diagonal straight line
, whizzing past at low altitude where they stood.
Under the dazzling eyes, on the black fighter jet livery, the red eagle seemed to be vibrating its wings. In the eyes of people looking up, these planes flew over the top of the mountain, passed over the giant cranes erected in the New Port, and passed by
The white sails flew across the sea, startling a sea of seabirds...
