Port of Bellac Blues, Gulf of Mexico

It is a newly developed port city located halfway between two Gulf cities in La Antigua and Medellín, and is the terminus of the Jinling City to Gulf Railway.

With about 17,500 Mexican locals and more than 2,870 Chinese immigrants, Verak Bruce is dominated by the Chinese in the city's main economic lifeline, and the gorgeous buildings and shops, ports, warehouses, and railway stations in the center of the town are also owned by the Chinese merchants, monopolizing the local commerce, port and transportation industry.

This is a rare deep-water harbor in the Gulf of Mexico, and the lush rolling hills surrounding the city hug the valley in between, which is standard for a world-class port.

In the coastal areas of any country, it is difficult to have seaports with excellent water depth conditions in the plains, and world-class ports are generally surrounded by mountainous terrain, such as Chang'an (San Francisco), Seattle, Panama, Marseille, Amsterdam, Qingdao, Lushun, Hong Kong, Zhoushan, Pearl Harbor, Pusmouths, Cam Ranh Bay and other famous ports.

This is because the gentle continental shelf extends into the sea area, and it is difficult to have superior harbor conditions, only the coastal mountains and hills can form a steep downcut terrain in the coastal area, which meets the water depth conditions of a deep-water harbor, as is the case with the port of Verak Bruce.

Why does no one know about such good deep-water port conditions?

This is to blame Verak Bruce, the second largest city in Colombia with a population of more than 1.6 million, known for its mild climate and beautiful and elegant environment.

It's a pity that Colombia is too small a country, and there are no decent bulk materials that can be imported and exported, and it is a congenital lame monster, and the port transportation business has not developed.

At this time, there is no concept of Colombia as a country, which is still subordinate to the Mexican family, and is now firmly controlled by the Chinese capital of the Tang Kingdom, and is included in the scope of coastal free ports.

Thousands of white seagulls fly up and down in the bay, creating a lively atmosphere of the calm harbor, and the clear white swells of the water rushing to the beach and the swaying of coconut groves are like a tropical Caribbean scenery.

This bay belongs to the southern part of the Mexican Sea, and further south is the Caribbean Sea, and because of its coastal climate, lush vegetation, many Chinese immigrants fell in love with it.

The huge iron-hulled steam cruise ship whistled a long whistle and slowly entered the encircling bay, which was the arrival of the fleet carrying the return of the expeditionary force, a total of 4 cruise ships and a freighter, carrying almost two regiments of officers and soldiers and their families, not counting children and more than 4,500 people, and the freighter was loaded with large trophies brought back from Europe.

The expeditionary force plundered several cities and dozens of towns in Europe, as well as countless landlords' estates, and the spoils of war were almost everything from silver candlesticks to high-speed pianos, from gilded crosses to medieval knights' steel armor.

On the first-class deck on the third floor of a cruise ship led by the "Phoenix Mountain," many officers with their wives and concubines in luxurious clothes had already come to the railing, and they couldn't help but cheer as they looked at the port that was getting closer and closer.

It's been two or three years since I was away from my homeland, and it's like a wanderer returning to his mother's arms, and the excitement is hard to hide.

Brigadier General Fan Pengfei and Colonel Lin Feng stood side by side, holding the ornately decorated command Tang Dao in one hand and the railing in the other, looking at the coast that was getting closer and closer in front of them, and couldn't help but show eagerness in their eyes.

Think back to three years ago

Both of them have the rank of lieutenant colonel, one is the commander of the 5th Division, and the other is the commander of the 6th Division, leading the soldiers who have just finished training, and embarking on the journey with high spirits to face the unknown test of war in Europe.

At that time, it was still from the port of Los Angeles to the port of Panama, more than 3,200 kilometers away, and it took a month and a half for the entire division to arrive in Europe one after another.

Today, it takes only 12 days to travel from Crimea to the Gulf of Mexico, from where you can transfer to a train, saving more than 5,800 kilometers of flight.

Under the arrangement of the military headquarters, these elite officers and outstanding soldiers of the 5~9th Division of the Expeditionary Force successively entered the 1~4th Division or the Staff Headquarters or Teaching Corps of the Expeditionary Force, and became the precious spark retained by the Expeditionary Force in the European war.

"Brother Pengfei, your information is more convenient than mine, do you know what arrangements will be made by the staff headquarters after returning to the empire mainland this time? It's not going to make us retire, is it? Colonel Lin Feng asked with a worried expression.

Brigadier General Fan Pengfei knew what his friend was worried about, as an officer who had stepped into the upper echelons of the kingdom's military circles, he had access to far more confidential information than Colonel Lin Feng.

Of course, it can't be said that it is confidential, there are some less sensitive news, and it will be announced after getting off the ship anyway, but it can be revealed in advance.

Brigadier General Fan Pengfei shook his head with a reserved expression and replied;

"Brother Ah Feng, you are concerned about it. If the military department didn't want to use us, they wouldn't have to work hard to transfer us out of the mercenary division and send us to the Royal Sanchester Military Academy in the United Kingdom for further study. ”

"Brother Pengfei, you can't blame me for not being able to hold my breath. As is customary for His Majesty, there will be large-scale layoffs after the end of the war. Seeing that North America is calm and there is no decent war to fight, what is it to maintain such a large army? ”

"You don't understand, but I can reveal it." Fan Pengfei smiled slightly and said calmly;

"Today's 1st to 5th Divisions of the Expeditionary Force are all overstaffed, and the 2nd Division, which has the largest number of people, now has more than 7,900 people, which is definitely not possible.

According to the strenuous efforts of the Army General Staff Headquarters and His Majesty's arrangement, it is planned to retain the strength of one mobile division, and then four rack divisions, retiring most of the soldiers, and retaining experienced elite sergeants.

So

The first division of the Southern Field Army, which was finally retained, was stationed in Jinling City, as the largest mobile corps in the eight northern states of northern Mexico, with a rated strength of 6,170 people, all of whom were cavalry.

Other words

All the cavalry regiments under the original five field divisions were withdrawn, making a total of five cavalry regiments, plus an artillery regiment, to form a powerful mobile strike force.

The remaining four shelf divisions, that is, the 2nd to 5th divisions of the Southern Field Field, in principle, each division retains 2,200 troops, mainly officers and elite non-commissioned officers, and only one regiment of soldiers is retained, and all the others are retired.

These four shelf divisions were stationed in the southern provinces, some as a regiment and others as a battalion.

This port city was supposed to be an infantry regiment where the Fifth Division was stationed, totaling 1072 people.

You and I have our own arrangements after the award, so there is no need to be anxious. ”

"Brother Pengfei, if you only keep one field mobile strike division, you will be the commander of the division!" Colonel Lin Feng asked tentatively.

"Hehe...... " Brigadier General Fan Pengfei laughed proudly and did not give a positive answer.

But his expression has exposed everything, among the nine division commanders of the expeditionary force, Fan Pengfei was promoted from the original lieutenant colonel to colonel, and then to brigadier general, which is already much more dazzling than other division commanders.

Needless to say, the staff headquarters has already been registered, maybe Jane is in the emperor's heart, this is an advantage that others can't compare.

But Colonel Lin Feng is not blushing, the former commander of the 5th Division, Brigadier General Fan Pengfei's combat exploits are in exchange for the solid and practical heads of tens of thousands of Russian troops, there is no water, colleagues only admire, and they can't afford to be jealous.
