Chapter 666: East and West Continents
When Lin Ye had more than a dozen empty wine bottles on the table in his office, he finally reached an agreement with his new friend Sessions and sent him away with a smile. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, at this time, Sessions was staggering and even walking became a problem, and he couldn't go back in this state, so he stayed for the time being.
As for Lin Ye, although many of these wine bottles left on the table were his masterpieces, he himself was very sober and there was nothing wrong with it.
It's not because of how good his wine is, it's because the bottles he chooses are marked, not the same as Sessions's.
In addition to the slight smell of wine, it is basically boiled water, which is a common trick used by Lin Ye to entertain foreign guests.
"Mr. Sessions, it's a lucky thing to have you as a friend, so let's talk about it like this, and we'll see you off after two days of rest. ”
Lin Ye patted Sessions on the shoulder, motioning for Crouff to send him to the hotel to rest for a while, and as for Sessions's friends, continue to close.
When their patience was almost exhausted, he would pick two more for an interview, and he would not be relieved by Sessions' promise.
I have to do a lot of things to try to restrain Sessions, after all, Sessions is going back to the Gulf Gorges, too far away from the Far East.
If he repents or something, there's nothing he can do about it, but if someone else restrains Sessions, it can solve the problem properly.
After all, in his agreement with Sessions, Sessions would briefly meet with the Combined Fleet on his way back to the Gulfth region, and although Sessions would not have a decisive say in the fleet, he would only need to do something delicate and seemingly unrelated at a critical moment.
The situation may undergo a critical change, this is one of the conditions that Lin Ye has made, and of course he will not expect this condition to win.
It can only be regarded as a buried pawn, and more preparations are needed to really defeat the huge fleet of 300 warships.
"Okay, well, Lord Duke, your friend has settled in the next place, just leave what you say to the next place, there will be no problem. ”
Sessions drunkenly patted his chest and assured that he couldn't even chew his tongue when he spoke, after all, he wasn't very good at drinking in the first place.
In addition, this time Lin Ye took out to entertain him, and it was a high-alcohol distilled liquor specially used to entertain guests like him, and the effect was outstanding.
"Mr. Sessions, let's go, let's go, it's over here, don't hit the wall, really, my lord, I'll take him down first." ”
Crouff helped Sessions out of the office, the smell of alcohol in the air, and Lin Ye restrained his smile when they were completely gone.
"Is it the Bay Gorge region that must pass through to the Eastern Continent? I'm really getting more and more curious about the legendary Eastern Continent, but now is not the time to expand there, the people's hearts are not enough, and everything has to be done step by step, and now it is imperative to solve this combined fleet first. ”
Lin Ye took out the map from the drawer again and looked at the location of the Bay Gorge area, there was no record of the eastern continent on the navigation chart.
Because it is too long to pass from here, and the road is unpredictable, usually every ten years, there will be merchant ships from the Eastern Continent to arrive in the Western Continent, and they will dock here for a period of time to trade, but these people from the Eastern Continent will not live here at all.
Soon they will return to the Eastern Continent, and it is really difficult to understand what they have gone to great lengths to reach the Western Continent for.
"I'll know the answer later, now, let's go to the shipyard first to see how the latest steamship is built, this is the key to whether or not the United Fleet can be defeated next, I hope Eight Feet didn't disappoint me, well, the time is almost up, it should be just right now." ”
Lin Ye looked out the window, he left the office after tidying up a little, and told Ewen at the door to clean up the messy office.
"By the way, Eun, your teacher has a letter for you, I'll put it on the desk in my office, and you can open it yourself when you clean it up. ”
Lin Ye recalled the letter she had just sent, and reminded the young affairs officer that she had grown into a capable official in a few years.
"Well, my teacher, his letter hasn't been heard from for a long time, and the last time he wrote it seemed like he was in Loki in the north. ”
Ewen was stunned, her teacher Sean had been away from the Far East for almost four years, and had only returned once in that time.
During this time, Ewen plans to leave with her teacher, but Sain says that he has important things to do to keep Ewen in the Far East.
In fact, Sain also found that his disciple was accustomed to life in the Far East, and when he left, he repeatedly told Lin Ye to take care of her.
"Well, it's Loki, maybe he'll be back soon when he's done, I'll go first, and I'll leave it to you. ”
Lin Ye nodded, Sein was the magician he met on Undercurrent Island, who gave him a lot of help at that time, and came to the Far East with him.
In the beginning, Sein also gave him a lot of help, but then he had other things to do, leaving Ewen in the Far East.
He himself travels with the wandering swordsman Terry to the magical kingdom of Loki in the north, where letters come every few months.
Ewen nodded heavily, and went to read her teacher's letter with joy, while Lin Ye went downstairs to check on the shipyard.
He had already been delayed in the Far East for three days, and by tomorrow he would have to leave here and quickly head south to join the Imperial fleet.
And Van Te has already arranged the carriage to the port, and after the construction of the road in the past few years, the road to the port can be described as unimpeded.
The journey, which used to take more than half a day to arrive, has now been shortened to more than an hour, which greatly facilitates the transportation of goods.
Moreover, there are a large number of horse-drawn carriages transporting goods passing by on the road, after all, a large part of the industrial products in the Far East have to be transported from Shuguang Town to Heishui Port, and then exported from Heishui Port to various ports in various places, and dispersed to various regions of the mainland and even overseas.
"Is the railroad track basically laid here? As long as the train is manufactured, the logistics time can be greatly shortened, and as far as the current situation is concerned, this is the lifeline of the Far East, even if it is only shortened by one minute, it can improve the efficiency very considerably. ”
Lin Ye is very aware of the calculation formula for maximizing costs and benefits, but it is still difficult to achieve this at this stage.
It would be at least three years before the first train was on the tracks, he looked out the window at the clattering carriage.
"It won't take too long, as long as the war in various places is completely calmed down, it will be a golden period of rapid development, no matter what the cost, no one will be allowed to interfere with the development of industrialization!"
