In the scorching summer sun, the air is filled with a faint smell of sea salt, and on the seashore of Ferry City, more than a dozen huge devices that have never appeared before are showing people their terrifying abilities.

The "sque......ak" was accompanied by the sound of the engine turning, the steel cables were pulled straight, and the huge concrete bricks were hoisted up and thrown into the bay, and as the machinery worked, a new pier was built.

Efficiency has never been so dazzling as it is today, and for the first time the mortal kingdom has grown so rapidly, yesterday it was a quiet bay, today it has become a huge construction site.

It has been surveyed as an excellent port, and Iran Hill is ready to build Ferry City into a giant port to support its growing sea transportation. After all, purely in terms of capacity, sea freight is still the cheapest and cheapest mode of transportation.

"I think when General Lawrence returns, he'll be shocked by what he sees!" Standing on the brand new port wharf, the mayor of Ferry City triumphantly shows off to the engineers around him.

He does have the capital to show off, ten days ago this was just an ordinary harbor, but now this is a brand new harbor that is larger than the old port of Ferry City. When the construction of this harbor was carried out, the placement of hoisting equipment was taken into account, and more advanced channels were planned.

A train track is being laid to connect it to the old town train station and soon become a new transport node. And everything here is better than in the old town: bigger warehouses, bigger docks, wider berths, taller lighthouses and radar stations that have never been there......

In the docks that have just been built, where there are no sheds, hundreds of boatmen are working hard, and they are putting together the best timber according to the drawings and turning it into a qualified giant ship.

These giant ships are assembled according to a template, and each step is determined in strict accordance with the standards. These large sailing ships could carry a considerable amount of material at one time, and they were born with the purpose of going south to buy enough rubber to supply more and more rubber demand.

Almost every corner of the industrialized Alan Hill began 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 superships with a tonnage of more than 3,000 tons is a transport giant, and they are arguably the largest sailing ships ever made by mortals in the world. They can reach speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour, which is comparable to that of conventional warships.

The new sailing transports were covered by the new warships built in the old port area of Ferry City. Most of these warships were cargo holds, not so much warships as armed smuggling ships that were once all the rage on Earth.

They are equipped with a minimum firepower configuration and are cheap and require only cheap canvas and wood. Because they don't take up too many resources, they are the first choice for the sea route in Irlanhill.

The next time Lawris returned, he could see a truly large fleet: because there was no need for so many guns, as many as 10 of these sailing ships, called "frigates", had already been built.

Combined with three real warships in Lawr's hands, he has a powerful fleet. And the only task of this fleet is to protect the transport fleet and purchase a large amount of rubber from Doson.

Of course, there is another task for Dothan to realize the gap in his strength, and honestly sell rubber to Iran Hill, and don't play any tricks. Lawrence seems to prefer this additional small mission to the escort mission, and this time he has enough shells with him, and the coast of the Dothan Empire seems to be out of luck.

"There are five new dockyards to be built here, and they turn out to be steel battleships." The city magistrate exhaled and exclaimed, "I am fifty years old this year, and I have never heard of ironclad ships in my life. ”

He looked at his subordinates and said word by word: "My greatest wish in life is that the ferry city can flourish, and every morning there are more than ten fishing boats lined up to go out to fish...... I thought it was the most beautiful view. ”

"That day, someone came and said that we had got the first money and could build a new big fishing boat...... I can't believe it's true. It wasn't until I saw the boatmen get to work and the timber was sent to the dockyard that I knew it was all 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 Iran Hill family was the same as Berman, and Ferry City just changed its owner, and it was still the same." Those memories of the past seemed to be in front of his eyes.

The hardships at that time really made him remember it vividly, but then, the good days began to come, just like everything in front of him now, everywhere there were construction sites, everywhere there were busy figures, everywhere there were happy people, everywhere there were cheers of victory.

"But, after that day, I knew I was wrong. A salt pan was opened in the city of Ferry, and it began to become wealthy. We built one fishing boat after another, and one was better than the other, and one was bigger than the other. The old mayor smiled at the mention of this.

He remembered how he had stood on the dock every morning and looked forward to it, as if it had happened yesterday. At that time, he was no longer young, but he still hoped for a miracle that would free his hometown from hunger and despair.

Later, his wish came true, abruptly and truly: "During that time, I stood on the dock every morning and watched ten fishing boats go out to sea in a procession. Then I watched twenty fishing boats depart, and then I watched the endless white sails obscuring my view...... Now I don't go to the pier because I know I don't need to go to see it. ”

Thinking of this, he smiled at his assistant and sighed, "Who would have thought? Iran Hill is different, it can turn Ferry City into a paradise on earth! Our seafood can be sent to Tubao by train, and our dried fish are exported to Hanhai! ”

"Our sea salt is already an indispensable daily necessity for the Steppe Empire, and the seafood we produce is His Majesty's favorite dinner! We can have so many warships, we can have dozens of transports. As he spoke, he looked at the horizon in the distance, at the white sails there.

He hadn't seen any other famous port city, but in his opinion, the largest port city in the Dosen Empire to the south, Osa Port, known as the Star of the Sea, was not as good as Ferry City at this moment.

"Come back in a year's time, and I promise you'll have more feelings." A young subordinate standing beside him smiled and comforted: "Our future will be better, this is what Your Majesty said!" ”

The old consul nodded, agreeing with his men's words: "Yes! Even now, at this moment, we are no longer satisfied with defeating our enemies, and we are left with ourselves alone. We will build warships of steel to sweep away all enemies at sea. ”

He still looked at the sea: "My wife and children have eaten a full meal for the first time in their lives under the rule of Iran Hill, and it makes my husband feel extremely satisfied. Later, our life got better and better, until now, we have a delicious dinner every day, the children can go to school, and my wife can take care of the housework at home with peace of mind......"

When an old man is caught up in memories, he always likes to chatter, and once something touches the scene and feelings, everyone will feel the terrifying speed of Iran Hill's development. Not only the elderly, but also the young people can't believe that every day is a new world, and it is the world they live in.

The old magistrate withdrew his gaze from the seashore: "For the first time I thought of myself as an Airanhill man when I saw the first fishing boat being pushed into the sea, and the mast rocking among the seabirds. I feel that I should dedicate my life to Iran Hill, and I am willing to sacrifice my life to His Majesty the Emperor for this fishing boat! ”

His tone suddenly became firm, and he said word by word: "Look at everything, look at everything in front of you...... This is paradise! Everyone I know is willing to die for Your Majesty! Even if the dragon descends from the sky and wants to burn everyone, I am willing to stand in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and no one can hurt him before I am reduced to ashes! ”

In fact, his words represent the voices of countless Irlanhill people. People are willing to fight for Iran Hill, and after experiencing exploitation and oppression, they cherish the happiness and freedom in front of them.

After being oppressed for thousands of years, mortals have finally experienced what it is like to be standing up. They are not willing to kneel again, even if it is to pay with their lives. They would rather die than let their descendants return to the darkness they have experienced.

In the stubborn tone of the old archon, in the hunting sea breeze, under the cloudless blue sky, as if in response to his conviction, the four 109 fighters under training formed an oblique straight line, whistling low above where they stood.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Under the dazzling gaze, the red eagle seems to vibrate its wings on the black fighter paintwork. In the eyes of the people, the planes flew over the top of the hill, over the giant cranes erected in the new port, over the white sails, over the sea, and startled a seabird......
