The Mediterranean Sea is calm and calm, the fixed channel, the ocean current and the sea breeze are very helpful, the high-speed cargo ship, it only took about a week, it crossed the Mediterranean, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, out of the Mediterranean, all the way to the north, the waves of the North Sea, so that after more than a month of sailing, many students who have already been familiar with the waves have suffered a lot, the situation of high sea conditions has appeared from time to time, the October number shows the strength of the new 10,000-ton giant ship, in the rough waves, slightly stable, but more turbulent than other seas.

Shaking, wind and rain, salty seawater, for these students who have not seen the wind and waves of the North Sea, is a great test, fortunately, there are special people to take care of, conditions and medicines, more than ordinary travelers are in place, many students, in the end, or adapted, the spirit is slightly sluggish, to no other problems, even if there are a few weaker, but also fixed themselves on the hammock, waiting for the end of the voyage.

When we arrived in the North Sea, we were not a few days away from our destination, and on the fourth day of entering the North Sea, the journey came to an end, and the German port of Hamburg arrived.

When the captain honked the horn and announced the news to all the crew, there was a cheer on the deck, whether it was the students who had been tortured during the voyage, or the sailors who had already been familiar with the turbulence of the sea, they all felt a sense of relief, after more than a month of turbulence at sea, it was time to go to the land to have a good rest, even the seafarers who were at sea day and night, no exception.

The whistle sounded, under the guidance of the guide ship, the 10,000-ton freighter, along the harbor, slowly entered the port, more than 200 students, almost all stood on the deck, looking intently at this modern port, exclamation and amazement, sweeping the port of a qiē.

To tell the truth, many mainland students who have never traveled far have thought that Shanghai is the most prosperous place in their hearts, in fact, Shanghai is really not bad, not as good as the first-class cities in Europe, but it is also much more prosperous than ordinary cities, but it lacks some industry, but the large population makes up for its shortcomings.

Along the way, although they passed through some world-class ports, but they did not dock, busy ports, it is not easy to get in and out, even if the October is to add water and coal, it is also to follow some small ports that are not too busy, or simply, it is a special supply port, which is more efficient and more time-saving.

So in front of many students, is a super modern port, facing the port of Hamburg, the largest port in Germany, Shanghai and its gap immediately appeared, the power of the steel of the big country, here is undoubtedly shown, with 10,000 tons of cargo ships as an example, in China is rare, in the fairway, but only occasionally, in this port, but a lot, the eye sees, at least there are a dozen, as well as large and small small passenger and cargo ships, in and out, very busy.

On the main channel, anytime and anywhere, are busy in and out of the ship, without the guidance of the guide ship, it is not easy to leave the port, the guide ship painted with a special color, busy in the channel to come and go, leading to the port of Hamburg ship, far above the cargo yard, there are at least six 10,000-ton giant ships, unloading there, farther away, on some small berths, more cargo ships below 10,000 tons. The porters, like ants moving, moved the ship's contents to the freight yard, and the cargo yard was piled up, some of which seemed crowded, and this was really a busy port.

Ships, ports, porters, cargo, all of which together make up the entire Port of Hamburg, has been operating in this way for decades, at most, with more machines and equipment.

Looking in the direction of the pier, in the immediate vicinity of the harbor, two giant embraces envelop the entire port of Hamburg on its hill, and those with good eyesight can directly see rows of thick cannon barrels.

Yang Ming is also lying on the side of the ship, counting the barrels, he counts the left, the other Liu Yuan counts the right, and in the end, the numbers come out, the left and the right, each is 54 guns, on the top of the mountain, there are 12 guns, adding up to more than 100 guns, the most important thing is that the barrel is thick enough, looking at it from such a distance, they can feel the hideousness of the barrel, even much thicker than the barrel of the largest warship they have ever seen.

The Port of Hamburg as the largest port in Germany, but also one of the only access to the sea, is very tightly protected, in addition to the Port of Hamburg itself, there are several other forts, used to protect the safety of the Port of Hamburg, even, standing on the deck, you can also see the military port in the distance, as the largest military port in Germany, stationed is Germany's most advanced warship, huge coastal defense batteries and battleships, the power of the powerful country, undoubtedly.

This belongs to steel, belongs to the power of modern war weapons, can be selected, as Yang Yuanzhao's first batch of overseas students, these people, not to say that one in a thousand, one in a hundred is definitely no problem, the basic knowledge is solid, the knowledge is also broader than the average person, there is a relationship between Germany and the United States, but if there is no consciousness of suffering, it is impossible to choose to go to Germany, these people are relatively strong-willed, are born to learn seedlings.

These sons of pride came to Germany, but it was like a new lesson, the scene of the port of Hamburg, they taught them a lesson, they couldn't help but think that when the teacher was in class, he talked about the power of steel, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, and he never felt how powerful the powers were, those warships that traveled thousands of miles, those weapons and artillery, and this qiē, in front of their eyes, was undoubtedly revealed.

Yang Yuanzhao and Harpy would not have thought that 250 students, on the first day they set foot in Germany, were shocked by Germany's industrial achievements, and from the bottom of their hearts, they strengthened the idea of returning to China after completing their studies and serving the country.

The October stopped smoothly in the port of Hamburg, naturally there were port officials on board, cleaning up the goods, calculating taxes, these people are businesslike, but they can talk about human feelings, Harpy's connections in Germany, as early as when he set off from Shanghai, has been contacted, and the number of all aspects has also been sent, and the customs declaration procedures, naturally someone has followed, no, a few German officials came up, followed by a typical Bavarian, saw Harpy, and warmly hugged him.

His name is Yankel, a Junker aristocrat in Bavaria, who has a good personal relationship with Harpy, and is the deputy tax governor of the Port of Hamburg.

"Harpy, I heard that you have been having a bad time recently, why did you suddenly do so much, is it possible, it is in the East, and you have gained a lot!"

Harpy smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard to say, going to the East can be said to be a journey of suffering, fortunately I met a nobleman, otherwise, I would either live on the streets, or simply commit suicide, but it will only hurt my wife and children!" ”

"Anna and Bobbit, Sujit are all very nice, I just saw them the other day!"

Anna is Harpy's wife, Bobbit and Sujit are Harpy's two sons, when they were in the Far East, they were the most worried, this is all to Hamburg, under the cowardice of homesickness, he hasn't even gone back to see, Harpy said with emotion: "It's really like a world away, by the way, Yankel, are the customs declaration procedures ready?" ”

"You're all ready, don't you really need me to help you?"

What Yankel said, formally part of his powers, foreigners, are not all rigid and old-fashioned, some flexibility and mobility are still there, Harpy is also slightly tempted, you know, this may be enough to save a lot of money, but I thought of Yang Yuanzhao's instructions, Yang Yuanzhao hopes to maintain a good relationship with the German government, form a certain business dealings, so this detail, also requires very strict, can not evade taxes, must pay taxes according to regulations.

Hearing that Harpy still refused, Yankel sighed, handed a form to Harpy, and said: "These are the customs declaration forms I made according to the number you gave, the price is very expensive, you can take a look, if it is meaningless, I need to check it!" ”

After taking the customs declaration form, scanning it, there was no problem, Harpy immediately took out a pen, signed his name, and with a wave of Yankel's hand, everyone began to act, counting some of the numbers on this customs declaration form, as well as many goods, one by one.
