Chapter 102: Mother Grace Harbor
Chapter 102: Mother Grace Harbor
Two hurricanes, 50 kilometers west of the Shawei Fish, met and the eye of the storm expanded to 1,000 meters. Soon, a torrential rain, like a funnel, poured down into the two volcanoes of the Big Island.
Such a strange scene made Ye Tan, who was in front of the screen, stunned and unbelievable.
It's all too mysterious!
Even if it is Ye Tan from the later generations, it is unimaginable!
The treacherous nature contained in this made Ye Tan's heart covered with a layer of gloom.
A kind of plausible, seemingly understandable thought, appears intermittently, and if you think about it carefully, but there is no trace.
Ye Tan simply didn't think about it, and commanded the fleet to move on. As for the more than 250 cargo ships that came out of Pearl Harbor, Ye Tan believed that Han Liang would take them to avoid the hurricane and return to Pearl Harbor safely.
Because of the hurricane, the wind and surge made the speed of the fleet increase by 30 kilometers per hour. made many seasick people vomit and diarrhea, almost took half their lives, but began to become a real marine.
The speed of the fleet made Ye Tan, who was nervous, feel a little comforted in his heart.
The eye of the hurricane, which has been staying on the big island, floods the two volcanoes. The heavy rain that lasted for two days and two nights, Ye Tan couldn't calculate how much rain had poured into Mauna Loa and Mauna Kaia volcanoes.
In short, it is definitely not a good thing for Ye Tan, a person who understands in later generations.
At 10:20 a.m. on 7 September 1858, the fleet docked at Harbour Grace, later known as Port Edward, south of the island of Cairn. Ye Tan referred to the inner and outer harbors as the mother harbor.
The reason why Ye Tan named Mother Engang means that the mother is a harbor of home and love, and the grace of nurturing cannot be forgotten.
15 modern 10,000-ton ships are moored here, making this deserted and bitter cold place more popular and quickly becoming lively.
Long Yue, Bi Luo, and Zou Xuan, who received the news, did not make a big fanfare, but came to the dock to greet them in person.
As soon as Ye Mu got off the battleship, she began to fold her hands and keep reverently chanting the blessings of her ancestors.
More than 200,000 soldiers disembarked quickly, and most of them were arranged to Port Prince Rupert in the future. However, Ye Tan gave it another name, called Phoenix Harbor.
The equipment that Ye Tan deliberately transferred from the space, such as excavators, bulldozers, mud trucks, military vehicles, generators, food and other materials, was being unloaded from the ship by the dragon teeth.
Some have already followed Ye Tan's established plan on the ship, starting bulldozers and excavators to dig a road leading to Phoenix Harbor. With the speed of 80 bulldozers and 40 excavators, plus 200,000 people engaged in construction, a distance of 15 kilometers, by about 6 o'clock in the evening, a two-way six-lane road repair project can be completed.
"Instructor, after more than 3 months, more than 12,000 brothers, day and night in turn, 200 concrete structures, 800 wooden houses, and barracks with a total area of 1.5 million square meters have been completed in accordance with your requirements. Now the brothers are building a chuang shop, just waiting for you to send iron pipes and boilers, and you can immediately lay heating equipment. ”
The three of them raised their hands in salute and reported.
Ye Tan nodded vigorously, fully affirming their hard work.
Looking up, the house is built on a gentle col between the two mountains on the left and right. This location is very important! Ye Tan from later generations knows very well that in 196*4 in later generations, the 9.2-magnitude earthquake from Alaska, the huge waves rolled up by the tsunami reached more than 6 meters high. The 6.2-magnitude earthquake in the Queen Charlotte Islands on September 4, 2012, and the 7.7-magnitude earthquake on October 28, 2012, Ye Tan had to take precautions for these dangers.
"How many people have been arrested?"
Prince Rupert began maritime trade in 1810. The aborigines, the Chinsian people, are distributed here in small numbers. As for the name Prince Rupert, it was named after Prince Rupert, the head of the Hudson's Bay Company, in February 1906. The city was established in 1907. During World War II, it became a temporary military station for the United States and Canada.
"Report to the instructor, in these three months, we have captured a total of 581 Chinsian and 128 British Empire nationals, and 42 Americans. It is now a military secret, and all 507 men have been killed by us, leaving 244 women in our custody. ”
Long Yue said expressionlessly.
Ye Tan patted Long Yue's shoulder, neither appreciating nor denying. But let the three of them know what to do in their hearts.
"Long Yue, you immediately let people inform the cadres above the second lieutenant level, as well as Dao Liang, Shangguan Ying, Che Gongban, Zhu Fatzi, these backbones above the intermediate level, gather here at the dock, and wait for me to have an important meeting to hold."
Turning his head, Ye Tan pointed to the dock and said to the Qin family: "Mom, in the future, this place will be called Mu'en Port." For generations to come, this harbor is named after you. ”
Qin Shi was a little excited, more of a weak heart, she hesitated and said, "Ah Tan, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" ”
Ye Tan just wanted to answer, but Ye Shengde patted Qin's shoulder, and said with pride in his eyes: "Ah Wei, you think too much." This is your son's honor to you. I also want to tell all my fellow brothers that no matter how far away people are, they must also remember the nurturing grace of their parents. ”
"Son, then I have to take a note, such a big happy event, how can I also erect a monument to name the chronicle, and in the future, everyone will know how this mother Engang came to be and when it was named."
Seeing his wife so happy, Ye Shengde also took the opportunity to coax.
Ye Tan nodded and coaxed: "Dad, Mom, I will always keep this matter in my heart." When I found a big, good stone, I brought it back, stood it in front of it, and had the craftsman engrave it, and then trace it with gold dust. Whoever comes over can see the name at a glance and see the name at first sight. ”
Seeing that his son was talking so seriously, the joy in his heart couldn't be concealed no matter what, and he couldn't stop smiling. Knowing that he was rude, he hurriedly took a white silk scarf to cover his mouth.
"Dad, Mom, there's another port over there, I call it Phoenix Harbor, ready to be used for shipbuilding. It's a lot more than here, you can go over and have a look. ”
"That's fine! You have a lot to do, go busy with your business, it's enough to have Qingqing, Hongluan and Qingluan with me. ”
The Qin family knew that the son could name a seaport in the name of a mother, which was a blessing that could not be repaired in eight lifetimes. Just looking at the envious expression of his own man is enough to show his honor. Therefore, the Qin clan smiled very happily, and the tiredness on his face was swept away, and his face became more and more red.
I sat on the ship for two days and two nights, except for eating and sleeping. Now it's rare for parents to be in such a mood, Ye Tan simply asked her sister to accompany the two of them to relax.
Ye Tan pointed to the windbreak island outside and said: "The trees in the 800-meter zone on the left are forbidden to be cut down, and violators will be dealt with by military law." A 20,000-square-meter yard was cleared on the right. It is planned to build a large ship supply dock in one year's time.
Pointing to the more than 100-meter-high place on Graham Island outside, he said: "Long Yue, remember, in the future, that island will be called Lime Island." You ask the brothers, to build a 28-meter-high lighthouse in front of it. Let our fleet be 50 kilometers away, and we can see our harbor. Instead, Ye Tan's hand pointed to the northwest and southwest estuaries and said: "In these two places, two thousand-ton warships will be sent each now, and they will be responsible for patrolling 24 hours a day." In the future, here, the entire Phoenix Port and the Mother Harbor will belong to the military restricted area. As for the 100-kilometer radius of the open sea, 20 warships will be sent to patrol. All outsiders who enter our jurisdiction are to be arrested. Speaking of this, Ye Tan took out a map and pointed to eight directions, "Also, in these 20 places, in each place, we will now send two platoons of troops, each with a radio station, and be responsible for patrolling and guarding 24 hours a day, lest we be touched by others and not know yet." ”
Seeing that Ye Tan came, he presided over all the work in an orderly manner, and instantly made Phoenix Port, a place full of loopholes, impregnable! It directly opened the eyes of Long Yue, Bi Luo, and Zou Xuan, and they had the deepest understanding.
