Section 947 Light of the Gulf of Aden

The Chinese first built a wharf, which extended to the sea, and rows of bungalow warehouses and lighthouses were used for night work, cranes were built to unload goods, and steel rails (railways) were installed to transport supplies to the adjacent new city.

Taking advantage of the large number of people, the navy also came to help, and the southeast army mobilized up and down, and everyone threw themselves into the madness of building the city.

The new city was built on an old riverbed where wells could be drilled for water, which had been verified by the informants who had come before to draw water from the yards where they lived.

Originally, this area was inhabited, but the Chinese dispatched the city management......

In ancient times, according to the practice of building a city in China, the circumference of the walled city reached 900 steps, which was called a city; those with 900 to 500 steps are called villages; And below five hundred paces, it is only a fort; As for the one that is less than two hundred steps, it can barely be regarded as a beacon.

As a military city, the ordinary is a nine-hundred-step city, a thousand-step city, and the stronghold of the southeastern country in Aden is a thousand-two-hundred-step city, which is converted into a mile, which is just over three miles, less than four miles, and ten meters high...... This height seems unnecessary, and those who chew Carter grass and go into battle are weak and weak enough to come and fight us?

The problem is that Yan Changwu, the boss of the Southeast Country, has the kind of "there are always people who want to harm me" and suffers from severe lack of firepower syndrome, which led the Southeast Army to build a two-story city wall in the new city of Aden, and the upper layer is strong enough to add a 24-pounder cannon!

How can ordinary countries build city walls so badly, heavy artillery pulled up to hit a few shots may crack the city wall, and the city wall of the southeast army is cement concrete for the outer skin, in order to be stable, there are cement steel piles inside and then pile mud, which is equal to the frame city wall, firm and reliable.

When the city was repaired, the soldiers set up cranes and hoisted the thousand-pound cannons to the city, plus other small cannons, there was a cannon every ten meters, including heavy artillery and light artillery, all of which were naval guns and wheels that could be moved.

The next layer of the city wall was eight meters high, and was defenced by infantry, and gun racks were generally erected on the battlements to facilitate the use of rifle mounts to shoot.

Uh-huh, the kind with a metal shield on the gun mount.

Does this make those robed soldiers of Arabia dare to come and attack the city?

This metal shield can be sold to Yemenis for a month's worth of food.

The city was full of bullet holes, and there were caves in the city to protect it from the attacks of the opponent's bows, cannons, and trebuchets.

Both walls have concrete steel roofs that arc down to shield them from the sun and prevent anyone from smashing things up.

The eyes of the Yemenis were glazed, and they saw that it seemed that the wharf had been built in a few days, and overnight the wharf was full of supplies, and it seemed that in a few days, the city had been built!

Sleep, the Chinese city is changing day by day, and it is being built at a god-like speed!

A new city has been built!

All the people are hands-on, including the navy, the army, the Marine Corps and civilian workers, nearly 10,000 people, whether officers or soldiers, go into battle to work, work in the stars and the moon, after the city wall is planned, the four directions start at the same time, you chase me, today you hurry up, tomorrow I catch up, no one obeys anyone.

If the commander hadn't issued a mandatory order, these soldiers and civilians who didn't want to work would have done it at noon when the sun was at its fiercest!

At noon, we must rest, we must not have heat stroke, and we must avoid heat stroke in normal times.

Every Chinese is good, no one is lazy, and there is no need to even set up a commando, all Chinese are commandos!

The Chinese are the creators of history, and the Chinese nation is a nation of struggle!

Survival, labor is glory, only struggle, let the Chinese gain a foothold tens of thousands of miles away from the country, who dares to fight our Aden New City, take 100,000 lives to fill it!

With such a large intensity of work, the guarantee of the army is in place!

There was no shortage of water, and a lot of people were arranged to carry water, and six more wells were drilled--- plus four wells within the city area, and water was transported from outside the city.

The use of coal to heat food, of course, there are dry meat that can be stoned to death from the ship, there are also fresh fish and mutton--- the Chinese have bought all the products produced nearby, as long as it is fresh meat, they have all been bought, anyway, the chef has changed his tricks, and there are different recipes every day, so that the soldiers and civilians who eat are full of enthusiasm.

There is soup every day, meat is eaten at every meal, and the recipes are full of all kinds of strange things: snakes, birds, drill beetles, lizards, fried scorpions, rock sheep...... Have you ever eaten a lion, a cheetah, a rhinoceros or even a big stupid elephant?

The chefs laughed but did not say a word, knowing that the chief chef of the Southeast Army in the new city of Aden was a Cantonese......

The food was strange and delicious, and the soldiers could often eat unspeakable game, so don't ask, just eat it, while the commanders tasted suspicious whips and consigned all kinds of colorful furs!

Because of the assault on the construction of the city, it happened that the commander of the fleet, Hong Xuguan, was here, and he specially approved a sum of money to improve the food treatment of everyone to improve morale, so everyone ate what they usually can't eat in a big pot.

At that time, I asked everyone whether it was better to give out bonuses or to eat?

As a result, all eight adults chose "eat"!

In the eyes of the officers and soldiers, it is useless to get the bonus in the place where the bird does not reach, so it is better to eat it!

The Chinese happily ate all kinds of things, but after the construction of the city ended, there was no such good treatment, and the officers and soldiers who returned home were very happy about the food in Aden.

Sea transportation is indeed convenient, and huge sea ships can easily transport large quantities of supplies from afar with the help of the wind.

Cement, steel bars, tools, munitions, food, and other material resources are constantly being unloaded onto the shore, and the great strength of the southeastern country can be seen.

There are not many Yemenis on the construction site, and from the perspective of the Chinese, those Yemenis are not qualified at all, and they have to spend time praying every day, chewing Carter, and what kind of work is it like? Therefore, it is not easy for Yemenis to make a little money from the Chinese, who can make money from donkey carts that carry water, sheep and fish sellers, and merchants who provide meat for the Chinese.

Some Yemenis have nothing, no donkey carts, no fishing boats, no funds, but they still earn a little money, they run around in the wilderness, looking for meat for the Chinese, they know that the Chinese eat everything!

Together with those merchants, a black market for wildlife quickly formed next to the new city of Aden. Every year, a large number of wild animals are smuggled from the Horn of Africa through the Red Sea to Yemen, and eventually reach Chinese buyers, where they are eaten by local soldiers and civilians, or transported by Chinese merchant ships.

African leopards, cheetahs, lions, cobras, bay crocodiles, ...... for sale The quantity is large, the price is high, and the raw is guaranteed!

"How much do you want, what I have here!" Sellers are smart and know that Chinese people like to eat raw and fresh meat.

Ivory has a decorative effect, antelope horn and rhino horn can be used as medicine, and there is a dedicated rhino horn market next to the new city of Aden, where daggers with handles made from rhino horn are the focus of attention of many buyers and sellers.

The baby sharks of the Red Sea, the Arabian Gulf and even the Persian Gulf are all out of luck, and people of all races are fighting to kill sharks to make shark fins!

The trade volume is very large, the market is controlled by the tribe, the profits are huge, some Chinese are red-eyed, and propose to take it under their own management, anyway, the buyer's market is me, others want to look up to me, and it is good to earn some taxes.

The prefect unanimously rejected this tempting proposal, and said with a smile that we Chinese don't make this bloody money, and later in the history books, the Chinese are innocent, very pure and innocent......
