Chapter XXXI: Landing Ships
The others heard Li Ming's construction on the side, and they were all passionate, everyone expressed their opinions, and finally even the Sanguang policy came out, Gao Jianguo waved his hand, and scolded with a smile: "You guys are serious, don't be, we are now here to replenish the labor force of our base, you think that to take revenge, no matter how many people kill them, it is useless, and finally defeat the whole of Japan, and let them be used by us." ”
Everyone was also amused by Lao Gao's words, and Li Ming also smiled and said: "Lao Gao is right, in that era, looking for someone to avenge anyone, our ultimate goal is to conquer all the land in the Far East, and those ordinary people will also turn them into our Far Easterners, and even in the future, the whole of Asia, wherever the sun shines, will be conquered by our Far East Company!" ”
Everyone was infected by Li Ming's words, they are all soldiers, to be honest, soldiers in peacetime may not be able to experience war in their lifetime, for real soldiers, only the troubled times of iron and blood are the battlefields where soldiers gallop.
Li Ming stayed in Grand Carmene for two days, and then returned to Vladivostok, because the progress of the two ships was greatly accelerated, and he also changed his original plan, first returned to the base to send diesel fuel and other supplies into the wormhole, and then went to Grand Carmenn to meet Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng, and then entered another time and space with them with the fleet.
At this time, Vladivostok has already prepared the diesel fuel and supplies needed by the advance team, and there are also a batch of materials purchased from all over the country, which are transported together with the vehicles this time, and now another time and space are still under intense construction, and the storage place of the materials is still very small, so only a batch of materials that have been used recently can be transported first. Li Ming still chose to open the wormhole in the early hours of the morning, and after sending more than a dozen cars into the wormhole, he rushed back to Da Kamen.
When he arrived at the Grand Kamen, he saw that everyone was busy on the two ships, and Li Ming joined them without saying a word, the more the finishing work became more cumbersome, and the daily work was tireless for everyone, but as the work continued to advance, everyone became more and more excited.
While everyone was busy on the ship, the two ships also began to load supplies, and this time the two landing ships were loaded with artillery and shells of various calibers purchased by the company, as well as some materials transported from China. Ten trawlers and two whaling boats have been restocked, and the staffing is not neat, but fortunately they don't need to sail far, and the manpower is enough for the time being.
There is also an oil tanker that has been retired by the Russian army for many years with their fleet, which is in very poor condition, with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons, and it may be used once anyway, the key is that this ship is also a rotten cabbage price, which Valery helped contact, and he also helped get diesel.
The icebreaker was not available in Vladivostok, the icebreaker here is either too broken, or the tonnage is too large, the purchasing department has contacted a second-hand Finnish icebreaker, more than 4,000 tons, and now the procurement department is in contact with the shipowner, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach Vladivostok in two months.
A few days later, as soon as Qiē was ready, the two landing ships were loaded with supplies, and in the early hours of the day, they left the Grand Kamen, spilling a lot of dollars, and the Russian side sailed all the way out of Russian waters without any trouble.
Ten fishing boats and two whaling ships and the oil tanker slowly followed, Li Ming sat on a fishing boat, and after entering the open sea, the fleet was reorganized, and the fishing boat that Li Ming was on took the lead.
Tonight's sea conditions are good, and the wind and waves are calm, at this time, Qiao Haipeng's voice came from the landing ship: "Attention all ships, attention to all ships, no other ships have been found in the surrounding waters, start moving!" Let's get started! ”
Li Ming heard Qiao Haipeng's words, walked directly to the front of the fishing boat, opened the wormhole, and slowly pulled it into an oval light gate dozens of meters high, according to the original plan, the two whaling ships took the lead in the wormhole light gate, followed by nine fishing boats, and then the two huge landing ships and oil tankers also slowly drove into the huge light gate, and as Li Ming's fishing boat finally entered the light gate, the crossing operation was a complete success.
This time the wormhole was opened a little bigger, and when Li Ming put away the wormhole, he could clearly feel that the wormhole had become a little darker again, and Li Ming's heart suddenly sank, it seems that he really has to control the number of times he opens the wormhole in the future, and strive to improve the efficiency as much as possible every time he opens it.
The whole fleet regrouped and slowly headed towards the Golden Horn in Vladivostok, Li Ming was still standing at the bow of the fishing boat, the slightly cool and salty sea breeze gently blew him, and a red glow appeared between the sea and the sky in the distance, and the dawn of dawn was about to break through the darkness.
The flotilla slowly drove into the Golden Horn Bay under the leadership of two landing ships, and at this time a red sun was jumping out of the east, and the first rays of the morning sun pierced the mist around Vladivostok and shone on the ships.
"Attention all ships, attention all ships, we are about to enter the Golden Horn, all ships begin to whistle, all ships begin to whistle." At this time, Qiao Haipeng's excited shouts came from all the ships, and everyone also sounded the whistle excitedly, and the passionate whistle broke the tranquility of the Golden Horn.
The employees of the Far East Company at the base of the advance team all ran to the shore and watched the first huge Crocodile-class landing ship slowly sail into the Golden Horn, and everyone cheered loudly, everyone hugged each other and threw their things into the air.
At this time, even the old experts who are dozens of years old shed tears of excitement, this is the ship of the Far Eastern Company, and it is also their ship, carrying their sustenance in another time and space, in this wild other time and space, they are going to create a new world of their own.
The two landing ships slowly approached the north shore of the Golden Horn, and the cranes on the ships hoisted down the rows of floating docks, and the personnel on the shore drove assault boats to tow the floating docks floating on the sea to the shore, and everyone picked up various tools and began to build temporary floating docks.
The fishing village at the end of the Golden Horn, Kurutu They were also attracted by the roaring whistle, and all the villagers rushed to the shore, looking at several huge figures in the distance, slowly turning into the Golden Horn, all of them were shocked.
They looked quietly into the distance, their eyes were full of awe and worship, in their opinion, these huge iron ships, go down to the sea without sinking, can fly on the sea without sails, who else can do such a thing except the gods.
Li Ming was picked up to the shore by the assault boat, and when he saw Song Tao rushing over, he hugged Li Ming at once, and the huge momentum knocked Li Ming into the sea.
"Brother, I want to kill you, you're finally back to me, haha......"
made Li Ming angry, he pushed Song Tao away, and scolded with a smile: "You are just a glass, why don't you stay away from me." ”
At this time, Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng also stepped down from the landing ship, and Song Tao rushed towards them again, shouting loudly: "Old Gao, old Qiao...... I miss you so much, come on...... Let my brother hug ......"
With a "bang", Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng were hugged by Song Tao, both of them were in their forties, how could their bodies be compared with Song Tao, they were knocked out of several steps before they stood firm, but even Gao Jianguo, who usually did not smile, was made laugh by Song Tao.
"Haha...... You kid can still hope for me to come, who believes it, why can't you curse me not to come? ”
Everyone laughed on the shore for a while, and then came to the headquarters of the advance team together, and the heads of various departments were already waiting there, everyone warmly shook hands with them, and after greeting each other for a while, they left.
Li Minggao and a few of them were left to study the next work, the base has a very urgent demand for labor, and they will go to sea to the coast of Japan and Korea in the next few days to plunder the labor force of the local people as the base.
"Old Joe, you take a landing ship and go to the coast of Japan for a walk, the main thing is to rob people, and as long as you are young and strong, although the little Japan of this era is one meter five or six people, but they are capable, they can't eat or wear now, as long as we do a good job of their food, maybe we can control the hearts of these little devils."
Although our plan is to go to Liaodong next year, I still took a boat along the coast of North Korea to Liaodong to test the water, at this time it was when Yuan Chonghuan was in charge of Liao Town to implement the Houjin to clear the wilderness, the entire Houjin control zhì district Jin economic situation is very bad, the population has also fled in large numbers, the strong Ding sharply reduced the countryside and deserted, coupled with natural disasters, the Liao people who were enslaved by the Houjin were so hungry that they had begun to eat people, at this time there were a large number of Liao people in the coastal area of Liaodong who wanted to cross the sea to escape from Liaodong.
It is definitely an opportunity for us to collect some Liao people as much as possible, and select the elite to form a teaching team, which will serve as the foundation of our future troops, and the sooner it is formed, the better. The rest of the people can also become our labor force, and if we really can't find anyone, we will have time to go to Korea to plunder people when we come back. ”
Li Ming and Qiao Haipeng listened to Gao Jianguo's words, and they also agreed, wouldn't it be better if they could really find some Liao people.
Qiao Haipeng lowered his head and thought for a while, and then also spoke: "I agree with Lao Gao's idea, then it's decided, Li Ming is in charge of the work of the base at home, and we are afraid that it will take ten days and eight days." You have mastered the wormhole now, and the affairs of the base are still inseparable from you.
These days, you have to get those fishing boats and whaling boats moving, in addition to ensuring the safety of the base, but also let them fish and whaling in the nearby waters, if we succeed in this operation, then the population of our base will reach thousands of people, and our food rations this winter will be a big problem, as much fishing and whaling as possible, drying more dried fish, and preparing for this winter. ”
Song Tao saw that everyone had finished arranging things, but he didn't have anything to ask, so he immediately became anxious.
"Hey...... What about me, you all have something to do, what am I doing? ”
