Chapter 249: Hurry up
This is a super fleet of more than a dozen large ships, each with a displacement of 7 or 8,000 tons and a small one of 3 or 4,000 tons, all of which fly the American Stars and Stripes and are slowly heading towards the docks.
The common people who were working looked curiously at the approaching fleet, while some of the warriors were ready on the dock to welcome the arrival of these ships.
A well-informed civilian, seeing these ships, couldn't help but shout: "This is an American ship!" ”
This is the transport fleet of the "Pangu" company, which is loaded with grain, a total of 50,000 tons of grain, mostly wheat, and some corn and soybeans.
The United States is a large grain-producing country, with abundant grain in the country, and there are many large farms, not only for grain, but also for other agricultural products. China is a large country with a large population, 40,000,000 Chinese need a lot of food, China is not a big food country, plus the current war, most of the people do not have enough to eat.
Even if the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is relatively rich, but many people are not hungry, Ye Feng ordered Max to purchase a batch of grain in the United States, and transported it to Ningbo Port by sea, this fleet transported the first batch of grain to Ningbo Port, and later, there are second batches, third batches......
The dozen or so transport ships loaded with grain slowly approached the wharf, anchored next to the wharf, and after these ships stopped, they lowered the gangway and walked out of it a blonde and blue-eyed American, handing over to a new major general of the 6th Army on the wharf.
Ye Feng received a telegram from Max a few days ago, knowing that this fleet would reach here today. Ye Feng had already made preparations, and the soldiers in groups were walking in neat steps. Boarding and unloading begins.
Bags of grain were carried down by the soldiers and neatly stacked on the huge docks, and not long after, a long convoy of dozens of large trucks came.
After the convoy came, bags of grain were carried onto trucks by the soldiers, and 50,000 tons of grain was too much. Dozens of trucks could not transport a fraction of it, and most of the grain could only be left on the dock for the time being.
The length of the Ningbo Port terminal is more than 1,000 meters, and the width is 2 to 300 meters. A lot of things can be stacked, and even if a lot of cement and sand are piled up now, there is still enough space to stack these grains.
"What's that?"
A younger ordinary man, while working. From time to time, I glanced at the ships not far away. Asked curiously.
There happened to be a soldier next to him, and the soldier said proudly: "That's all grain, food from the United States." ”
It was all food, so many large ships transporting it, how much it must be, and the young man felt that his head could not turn a little.
This food, even if there are one or two thousand soldiers, plus the help of the common people. It took several days to unload all the ships and bags of grain. Stacked neatly, ten meters wide, one hundred meters long, two meters high, such a large pile, a total of several piles, these grains are too late to be transported, so much grain, a full 50,000 tons, if you use a large truck to transport, at least for a period of time.
A few days later, another American convoy arrived at the port of Ningbo, a fleet of several large oil tankers carrying large quantities of oil.
A few kilometers away from the port of Ningbo, a huge crude oil reserve base has just been built, and many places have not even dried up, so much crude oil has been transported to this base.
This is only the first of the crude oil reserve bases in Ye Fengji's plan, several huge circular cement pools, each huge cement pool reserves 10,000 tons of crude oil, and a cement pipeline with a diameter of about one meter, from this crude oil reserve base all the way to Ningbo Port.
After these large oil tankers docked at Ningbo Port, thick oil pipes pumped black crude oil from the cruise ships, and the crude oil flowed into the cement pipeline with a diameter of one meter, and finally into the crude oil storage base a few kilometers away from here.
Not far from here, in a huge open space on the outskirts, a large number of ordinary people are also working, in addition to two or three thousand ordinary people participating in the labor, there are also thousands of soldiers.
In the near future, a large amount of fuel will be provided to the troops, and part of the fuel will be sold, sold to some rich people, rich people with cars, to earn money for the new 6th Army.
Cruise ships are unloading tens of thousands of tons of crude oil at the port of Ningbo, and in the Middle East, another large fleet of ships flying the flag of the United States is leaving the port, and the target is also the port of Ningbo.
In Australia, several large cargo ships are also setting sail, these large cargo ships are also flying the American flag, loaded with various ores, are leaving the port, heading for Ningbo Port.
In Indonesia, there are also several ships that are loading rubber, rice and other supplies, and in a few days, these ships will also leave, and the target is also the port of Ningbo.
……
The "Pangu" company either rented ships or purchased their own ships to set up an ocean-going fleet, and transported a large number of materials, such as grain, oil, ore, rubber, cotton and linen, wool and other materials to Ningbo from all over the world according to Ye Feng's requirements.
The "Pangu" company, which was only established for two or three years, has now developed into a first-class large company in the United States, and Max's superhuman business talent has been fully developed.
In order to develop the "Pangu" company into the top large company in the United States, when the first fleet arrived at the port of Ningbo, Ye Feng transported 100 tons of gold back to the United States through this fleet as the development fund of the "Pangu" company.
At the current gold price, a ton of gold is worth about $1.5 million, and a hundred tons of gold is $150 million. At present, an American tank costs less than $10,000, and a "Flying Fortress" bomber costs only tens of thousands of dollars.
In later generations, there is information that can be consulted, in 1939, the gross national income of the United States was about $90.5 billion, and the military expenditure was about $1.2 billion.
Ye Feng believes that with Max's outstanding business talent, this 500 million US dollars will not be long before it becomes 300 million US dollars, 500 million US dollars, or even more.
At the end of April, all kinds of materials arrived at Ningbo Port by sea, and the huge Ningbo Port was piled up with all kinds of things, and a large number of large trucks frequently entered and exited Ningbo Port, transporting these things to various cities.
In Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, and other places, in just over a month, the newly formed 6th Army built a large number of warehouses, and a large amount of materials were temporarily hoarded in these warehouses.
Even, there are some materials that are stacked directly in the open air, and the warehouse really can't put them down, such as a large amount of iron ore, which is stacked next to the construction site of a large steel plant under construction on the outskirts of Ningbo.
Tens of thousands of tons of iron ore are piled up into a hill, and the construction site is in full swing, with a large number of people and a large number of soldiers working day and night to build this large steel plant.
After more than a month, with the joint efforts of thousands of people, this large-scale steel plant with an annual output of 300,000 tons of high-quality steel has been basically completed, and tall chimneys have been erected.
In the construction of major factories, Ningbo Iron and Steel Plant and Ningbo Oil Refinery are making the fastest progress, and the number of people in the construction is the largest.
In the northwest suburbs of Hangzhou, a huge industrial park has also begun to take shape, this large industrial park covering an area of more than 2,000 acres, has completed the ground leveling, spacious roads have also been built, and several large factories are being built.
There is not only one industrial park in Hangzhou, but also an industrial park of the same scale is being built on a large scale in the Xiaoshan area, and it has begun to take shape.
In Shaoxing, there is also an industrial park of more than 1,000 acres under construction, and after the completion of this large industrial park, a large number of various factories will also settle down here and be built here.
On the highway from Hangzhou to Ningbo, the original highway is being widened, this highway will be built into a six-lane cement road, each section, a large number of people, a large number of soldiers will be under construction, the entire highway, the labor force involved in the construction of more than 100,000.
This is a big project, in order to ensure that the highway is completed as soon as possible, the whole highway is divided into many sections, and construction is started at the same time, and each section is less than hundreds, more than thousands, or even thousands.
A large amount of cement, sand, and stone are continuously transported here, and the whole highway looks like one day at a time.
After the first annual plan for the large-scale construction of the new Sixth Army was issued, the entire area under its jurisdiction became a huge construction site, with hundreds of thousands of ordinary people taking part in it, and some laborers from remote rural areas also rushed over to join the large-scale construction in full swing.
In the Battle of Hangzhou-Ningbo, so many little devils were eliminated, and even the "Kaga" aircraft carrier and the "Fuso" battleship were blown up, and the merit value in the "Nuwa" system skyrocketed, exceeding one million in one fell swoop.
In order to ensure that the large-scale construction is carried out quickly and completed as quickly as possible, Ye Feng exchanged hundreds of professional and technical talents and management talents from the "Nuwa" system, and exchanged a large number of reinforced cement and various industrial equipment.
Millions of merit points, one pass exchanged, there are still more than 600,000, however, these 600,000 merit points Ye Feng did not move again, but was ready to use it in the construction of the army.
