Chapter 240: Preparing to Deliver Grain
Cai Ruichen, who was carrying the joy of victory and harvest, returned to the present world that night.
Here, his work is much busier than in the wasteland, and tomorrow the Canadian cargo ship Ocean 3, laden with grain, will arrive at the port of Basra.
Today, he had to prepare the convoy for delivery, and today, he informed the Iraqi government customs that the goods on the cargo ship were purchased by Future Technology Group.
Tariffs, this naturally does not need Cai Ruichen to deliver, but in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Cai Ruichen just hopes that the Iraqi government can take care of this cargo ship.
At the very least, it should provide a more convenient unloading space for the ship, which can quickly unload all the 20,000 tons of grain on board.
However, the port of Basra is not very efficient, and sometimes many international merchant ships have to queue up to be able to enter the port to unload.
This port, which was under Saddam's government, could have handled 100,000 tons of cargo per day.
It has eight L-shaped embankment wharves, each of which can dock two 10,000-ton cargo ships to unload cargo at the same time.
However, only four of these terminals are still operational, and each berth has only 5,000 tonnes of loading and unloading per day.
Therefore, it will take four days for Ocean 3 to be loaded and unloaded when it stops at Basra.
In order to carry out a larger maritime trade in the future, and in order to better load and unload goods, Cai Ruichen even told the Iraqi government that Future Technology Group is willing to be responsible for the repair of the wharf.
However, the Government of Iraq must also agree to the presence of future security company personnel at the marina. Safeguard the interests of Future Technology Group.
In addition, with the Iraqi security forces' collusion with the Saint Le organization, Lin Chongxian was in the front. After the Iraqi government has taken into account the interests of the future. He quickly agreed.
When Cai Ruichen returned to the present world, the documents had already come down.
The Iraqi government agreed that Future Technology Group would send workers and equipment to repair Iraqi ports. All costs are borne by Future Technology Group.
But the people of the Future Technology Group are not allowed to go near the Iraqi naval base near the port of Basra. and the crude oil refining industrial zone behind the port of Basra.
The condition is that the security personnel of Future Technology Group have the right to use force when protecting their interests at the port. And the Iraqi forces in the port of Basra, who are obliged to assist.
At the same time, the Iraqi government has also waived tariffs on future technology group seaborne exports.
This contract. Although it has not been officially signed, the official documents have also come down, and some of the rights and interests of Future Technology Group can also be used immediately.
This includes the dispatch of armed security forces to the port to receive all the goods purchased by the company.
And on the grounds of trade confidentiality, the Iraqi government is not allowed to interfere with the import business of Future Technology Group.
When Cai Ruichen returned to the present world, he immediately went to the second soldier to check the convoy that would go to Basra tomorrow.
Sixty armed mining vehicles, escorted by a regular army of more than a hundred people, made one trip during the day and one at night. In four consecutive days, 20,000 tons of grain can be transported back.
On the way to the port of the convoy. The necessary personnel and equipment for the repair of the port will also be transported.
At the same time, a company of regular troops will be stationed in the port to protect the cargo ships, and to be responsible for the safety of the engineers and maintenance equipment that will arrive later.
The Iraqi government is also the master of not scattering eagles without seeing rabbits, so Cai Ruichen also immediately arranged for engineers to go to Basra to prepare for the repair of Basra's port.
At the same time, the Iraqi government has made a proposal that in the future, the technology group will be able to use Basra's well-established rail delivery method to transport grain to the railway station in Marin town.
But Cai Ruichen refused, although this method is simpler, but the safety is not necessarily more guaranteed than truck transportation.
Now there are tens of thousands of people in Marin Town, and there are more than 10,000 people in the wasteland world, and they consume a lot of food every day.
Buying it in Baghdad every day has already made Cai Ruichen very painful.
Therefore, he attaches great importance to this batch of 20,000 tons of grain, and he can't miss it at all.
What's more, there are still tons of grain to arrive in the future, and there is no need to spend hire trains to transport it.
I have this ability, and I can also train the troops by the way, so why should I give money to others.
And the Iraqi government is at war right now, and sometimes it can't get enough of it, let alone mobilize enough trains to transport the food.
When the time comes, I am afraid that the grain will be piled up at the freight railway station in the port of Basra, which is not even more troublesome.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen did not even need to think about it, so he rejected the Iraqi government's proposal.
Moreover, the current situation in southern Iraq is still relatively stable, and those extremist groups are concentrated in the mountainous areas of the north.
Because the south is either a city or a desert, and there is no soil for their survival, extremist groups that need the support of the local people can only choose those villages in the mountains as bases to better propagate their extremist ideas.
So the southeast is a safer place in Iraq, at least the extremists here are not too rampant.
However, the extremist forces in Iraq as a whole are sharpening their knives against Future Technology Group.
To continue to transport work for four days, in terms of security, it is still not possible to be careless.
For this reason, Cai Ruichen chose all armed mining vehicles as vehicles to transport grain.
This is not only because the armed mining vehicle has a capacity of 75 tons, but also because of its force and safety.
At least, those who want to sabotage or rob will not be able to succeed easily.
In order to be sure, Cai Ruichen also planned to use two companies of regular troops as an escort.
From Basra to Marin Town, there is a whole highway that goes directly from Basra to Marin Town and then gets off the highway in Marin Town, which is more than 500 kilometers.
As for the speed of armed mining vehicles, as long as there is no traffic jam on the highway, there is no problem at all to make a round trip a day.
Moreover, Cai Ruichen also adopted the method of two shifts, and two groups of soldiers would take turns to go to Basra every day.
Therefore, in fact, it is two convoys to carry out the delivery of goods, and Cai Ruichen, who has long been prepared for this, also often produces armed mining vehicles, after all, relying on the armed mining vehicles sent by the ore refining plant alone is completely insufficient.
At present, in the entire world, the number of armed mining vehicles is exactly one hundred, and in order to transport this batch of grain, he also took out all his family resources.
Who made this batch of grain important to the point that you can't go wrong. (To be continued.) )
