Looking at the wharf, as well as the surrounding warehouses and residential area expansion, the most conspicuous thing on the construction site is the headquarters of Fangchenggang, this is a face project, Chen Rui They planned an area of tens of thousands of square meters, and now it is still under construction, I don't know what the design looks like.

However, since there are people and silver, the materials can basically be supplied by themselves now, but the steel Hu Lin has to pull some over, and when Hu Lin has no time to pull the materials, he naturally looks for foreign purchases, and the silver is enough, and the steel needed is also sent by boat, in fact, it is mainly purchased by Germany, after all, there are already business contacts, so he naturally has to take care of his acquaintances.

Among these materials, especially cement and masonry, the demand is the largest, the cement factory and brick kiln are expanding again and again, and the personnel are also added again and again, and the people from several counties near Mashan County have almost come to work, plus people from other parts of Guangxi, there is too much movement here, otherwise how could Tang Jingchong and these people notice and collect a lot of information about Hu Lin.

Although it's just a place to do work, it's not too big, and it seems that everyone is not worried that building such a big place will be empty, and the development of Pingshan is too fast, and some of the buildings designed in the early stage can't keep up with the use, and this person is increasing day by day, so he can only tear down some houses next to it and then build a building.

Immediately, Hu Lin and his entourage listened to Zhao Wei talk about the sea and watched the construction progress of the port, Zhao Xiaoya followed Hu Lin quietly and did not speak, and turned his head from time to time to look at the construction machinery on the construction site.

Then I went to the shipyard not far from the foundation of the shipyard, when German Prime Minister von Bülow left, he left a few people to assist in the early work of the shipyard, this is a 20,000-ton shipyard, naturally it will not be a matter of building a big house casually, Chen Rui's people here understand architecture, but they have no such experience, this is naturally the business of the Germans.

As long as you cooperate with their requirements, you don't have to worry about what the problem is, although the German navy is not very powerful in this world, but it is also ranked first among foreigners, and there is a set of shipbuilding technology of the whole system, which is enough for Hulin to draw this strength.

Shipbuilding also has to level the ground, lay the foundation, there is nothing to see, go directly to see the city defense batteries at the bend, these are the key to life, warships have a safe nest, and it all depends on these batteries.

Everyone got into the car, and the cement road connected to the location of the forts has not yet been paved, but the bulldozer has pushed a simple road, which can pass the car and pull some materials.

To say the road, the most important thing is the road from Fangchenggang to Pingshan, which is repairable, and the equipment from Germany must come in, and there must be a car to pull it, then, there is no good road, and the safety of equipment transportation is a problem, and some large equipment may not pass.

At the beginning, after the negotiations with the German side, in addition to the construction of warehouses and some residences urgently needed in Fangchenggang, it was this road connecting the two places, which was rushed almost all night, and manpower and machinery worked together.

Although the road is long, it can not stand many people, and some are modern construction machinery, the progress is still very fast, Hu Lin came to the road, has been paved part of the cement road, it seems that even if these equipment arrives, it will take some time to wait for the smooth road.

Chen Rui doesn't have to worry about the route of these roads, the map brought by Hu Lin from modern times basically has a selected route location, don't care about anything else, just follow the above, they just need to measure it on the spot, and where to go from there.

Of course, the way to cross the bridge from the sea has to be considered separately, and now they can't build the bridge, even if they can, there are not so many materials such as steel and cement. Even the bridges in the interior took a lot of work, and it wouldn't have taken so long to build them if it weren't for so many people.

In fact, Hu Lin also considered simply putting it in Fangcheng Port, but for the time being, these equipment can be a guarantee for Hu Lin's energy source to continuously obtain ammunition.

This is the seaside, it is quite easy to transport the army, the danger factor is very great, Hu Lin does not dare to take such a risk, there were French businessmen to rob the car before, Fangcheng Port happens to be next to the sea area of Vietnam, if the French ** people find out that Hu Lin's situation no longer resists the temptation, then the matter will be a big deal.

Then there are Germans in Fangchenggang to guide the shore defense batteries and shipyards, can't they see these construction machinery, this is almost transparent, the German side must know about it, but based on various considerations, there is no tendency to force it.

Hulin also has a headache, now he is a German, he almost knows, it won't be long before people in other countries will slowly find out, and they have to hurry up to develop armaments, but it seems that they don't have much time to give themselves, and then they need to be on the safe side, at least they are there, and they are not leaked out one step in advance, some deals satisfy them, and they can also resist the pressure in the early stage together.

The location of the fort was to be located at the choke of the harbor, which is probably indicated on modern maps, and the location of the fort was originally left by the Germans to survey the site, but it is clear on the map that the mouth is there.

The Qisha Fort on the modern map was once selected by others, so it was naturally directly selected, and the Niutou, Sanbianshi, and Xixian areas on the Jiangshan Peninsula were also selected to build them, and the tail of the Paiwei was naturally indispensable on the central island.

These chokes are fortified to guard the gates, the number of forts is the largest, and the firepower is also the largest, and other surrounding harbors will naturally not be placed, and some places are appropriately selected to enclose this inland harbor tightly.

The Germans are rigorous in their work, and under the condition of ensuring maximum safety, there is no excessive waste of battery construction, and each battery can cover a sea area, as long as you want to come in, every piece here is covered by cannons.

But there is a key problem, there is no artillery, for the time being, can only be trained, let some German artillery to be trained first, this is Hu Lin depressed, at the beginning of his own hands of the labor force and a few people who stayed abroad, the rest is only literate talents, it is really difficult to do something, this training will take a long time to be effective.

Then it means that now the battery is in the hands of the Germans, and I always feel hairy in my heart, but fortunately, the Germans are not so shameless, and they generally do not break the contract, and besides, on their own territory, even if they control the battery, it is not much use, and the ships in Hulin's hands still buy their second-hand goods.

The navy has not done much to General Hu Linlai now, and the affairs on its own territory have not been sorted out, and now the navy is just making a foundation to leave a seed for future development, and there are still more than ten years left in World War I, which will be quite peaceful.

Cixi's wife and mother offended the foreigners very much, and he knocked on the door, which has little to do with Hu Lin, and strives to build up the power as soon as possible, which seems to be more than what the foreigners are more willing to see.
