Chapter 1632 The General is in New China
Then, everyone set off again, sailing along the mountain and sea routes to the New China Star Area. On the last day of 833, the fleet arrived at the last stop of the mountain-sea waterway, the galaxy called "Shanhai Pass".
There are also various constructions here. Array turrets, deep space probes, and shipyards are all available. The original small fortress has been expanded by more than one circle, and the small space city used as a transit point for merchant ships is being remodeled in a militarized direction.
In addition, there are two large work boats waiting nearby, as if I will lay the skeleton as soon as the money is available.
In fact, when the community began to carry out large-scale construction the year before last, Mr. Bai, as a cabinet minister, tried every means to collect a sum of military expenditures and gave it to his hometown for construction. Finally, a number of dual-use military and civilian transit and maintenance facilities were built. equipment.
After the war broke out, the second phase of the defense project naturally began. At that time, the Far Shore Theater had not even been established yet.
From this perspective, the people of New China are probably the most crisis-conscious group of people in the community.
Judging from the scale of the project, they really want to turn this narrow mountain-sea channel into a steel defense line, but after all, resources and manpower are limited, so of course they can only do their best.
Fortunately, from a geographical point of view, New China is closed and remote, and is not on any major transportation road. If the Galactic Empire's army really breaks through the far-coast defense line, it will definitely break through the Nantianmen and go straight to the earth. In this case, it is unlikely to waste its troops and let the main fleet attack the narrow mountain and sea channels.
At that time, New China may be a very important retreat.
Of course, the premise is that the armaments on New China's side can allow the empire to choose to retreat despite difficulties.
It’s really worthless! Yu Lian couldn't help but shook his head mockingly. Who would have thought that the "Dragon of Dawn" who constantly leads everyone from victory to victory is the biggest pessimist in the entire army?
Therefore, classmate Luo Zeshi always thinks that I am an innate optimist, and it must be because of the subjective filter that has been given to me as an adjutant for a long time.
Even though he said this, Yu Lian was completely unable to show any emotions in this regard. He once again highly praised the builders of New China and the engineers in the Far Coast Theater Zone for their great spirit in overcoming all difficulties and obstacles and reaching the peak forever.
He told everyone that war is not terrible, and the Galactic Empire is certainly not terrible.
The only thing terrible is the horror itself.
In short, before the official arrival of 834, Yu Lian and his friends finally arrived in New China, the most remote star region in the community with the smallest population, the lowest gross national product and the lowest development index.
Of course, not many people know yet. This may also be the star region with the greatest potential for development in the community.
Mr. Qi smiled: "You have always done a lot for the people of this sector. It is quite strange to say this to you now, but it seems quite lacking in ritual if you don't say it."
Of course Yu Lian knew what the old man was talking about, so he immediately pointed a thumbs up at himself: "Okay, welcome me to New China!"
Mr. Qi was startled for a moment, then laughed dumbly: "Well, as expected of you."
Indeed, Yu Lian has always been close to New China, but this is his first time (in this life). However, in the previous timeline, he lived here for a long time. Not only did he participate in the Leviathan crusade that attracted the attention of the entire universe, he also worked as ashes in Shanhaiguan, farmed in Baichuan, and worked as a primitive predator on the pioneering planet of Tianshu.
In the end, he even used his vest to buy a house in Bai Yujing, and he really considered coming here to live his whole life after quitting the world.
In a sense, this remote star region, which was still in its barbaric pioneering stage and full of vitality, gave me a sense of a second hometown.
So, as he got closer to Bai Yujing, Yu Lian felt a little bit homesick for no reason. This experience was really strange.
Yu Lian and everyone welcomed the New Year of the 834th year on the passenger ship.
Everyone held a simple celebration, and the old friends naturally gathered together, eating hot pot, singing songs, and drinking wine.
Then, Yu Lian sent a blessing video to the Qianjun soldiers online.
Of course, he also received a video message of New Year greetings from President Keith Nishita. In the video, Mr. President seems to be in better spirits than when he held a press conference last time. He calmly expressed his gratitude to all the officers and soldiers, and encouraged everyone that next year we will be able to drive away the evil imperial invaders. .
To put it bluntly, President Nikita performed quite well in terms of a statesman-like New Year's address.
However, Yu Lian still felt a sense of a scripted and routine procedure.
What made him even more confused was that in previous years at this time, His Excellency the President would definitely send greetings to all the young generals he "regarded as brothers" one by one. Of course Yu Lian is one of them.
This is the character of Corporal Rihyeon who has been around since Mr. Nishita's days as Chairman of the Generalissimo.
Regardless of whether this is a trick that only pays lip service to the truth, there are still many senior officers who fall into this trap.
Even if there is no blood or tears, I have to admit that Mr. Keith Nishita is talented, polite, and nice to talk to. Chatting with him occasionally is actually a good way to relieve stress. If it had been any other young general, I'm afraid he would have had his heart set on him long ago.
However, this year is obviously wartime, when the morale of the frontline troops is most needed, but Mr. Nishita did not express this. This made Yu Lian feel a little uncomfortable.
...Tsk, does this count as "neglecting those who are close and resenting those who are far away"? He thought about this problem and immediately slapped himself.
But no matter what, Yu Lian was sure that President Nishita was indeed not normal. Our friends on Earth must be prepared to deal with emergencies.
As for himself, he is currently unable to directly interfere with the affairs on the earth's side. As expected, he still has to focus on the present first.
On January 5, 834 in the common calendar, Yu Lian and everyone arrived at Bai Yujing, which was loyal but had never been there.
In the three hundred years after the discovery of the mountain-sea waterway, this planet has always been the only naturally habitable planet in the entire New China, an Earth-like planet with a standard 3:7 ratio of surface land and ocean. The oxygen content is slightly higher than that of the earth by one percentage point, and the climate is slightly drier, but overall it is within the adaptation range of ordinary humans. But that's all.
Now, Bai Yujing's confirmed permanent population is less than 200 million, but it already includes more than 70% of the entire population of New China. This is because the star district government has been attracting immigrants, and the icebergs of the neighboring Baichuan star have melted, creating a huge farming area.
"Haha, although I claim to be a star district governor, I am actually equivalent to the level of an administrative commissioner of a planet in the empire. In the era of my home star, I was just a county magistrate. However, that's fine. It's just a literati who turned to politics with a little start. It should be lower so that I won’t be in a hurry.”
When it comes to his work, Mr. Qi inevitably shows a hint of pride. In other words, he is not the type who is accustomed to being modest: "So, we are increasing the infrastructure construction of the star region and providing jobs for all immigrants. Development. Baichuan and Tianshu. Building row houses as a civic benefit for immigrants and pioneers. Ahaha, when the glaciers of Baichuan Star melt, I am even going to name the big lake dug out by the nuclear bomb "West Lake."
Is it as large as the West Lake of the five Great Lakes combined?
Yu Lian smiled and said: "Are you comparing yourself to Mr. Dongpo?"
"Xueshi Su's writing, calligraphy, painting and cooking are all outstanding skills in the world, and he can create a good country even if he governs a country. I once regarded him as an idol." Mr. Qi still had no intention of being humble at all: "If the war hadn't broken out and the villa area we developed on Baiyu Jingshang had been sold out, wouldn't the planetary government have the money to build a top-grade pioneer camp in Tianshu?"
"Villa area? Oh, yes, it's in the villa area. I remember that this villa area was mainly built for the imperial nobles who came to invest. It seems to be selling well." Yu Lian nodded.
"They were all sold, and only a small deposit was collected..."
"..."
"Three more years. Three more years! We will be able to get a large sum of final payment. In addition to building the forward camp in Tianshu, can we also build a few more health care centers specifically for pioneers?"
As for the previous 52 billion loan given to New China by the Alliance Red Rose Foundation, it has basically been spent now. Of course, it has become the high-energy physics laboratory in Tianshu, the road and hydroponic granary next to Baichuanxing West Lake, the military equipment in Shanhaiguan, and more than 100 primary and secondary schools and technical schools in the entire star area.
What's the saying? A good politician may not necessarily make money, but he must be able to spend it. From this aspect, Mr. Qi did a good job.
Of course, these expenses naturally constitute the first phase of construction of Bai Yujing Shipyard.
The history of this shipyard is actually not short, with a history of less than a hundred years. However, it can only build some small armed cargo ships and expedition ships, and by the way, it can provide a little repair and maintenance services for warships below light cruisers. .
That is to say, after receiving the capital injection, Bai Yujing Shipyard began to expand. Now, they already have the ability to build torpedo ships and assault ships, plus fighter aircraft.
Of course, considering that assault ships are already a type of ship that will be eliminated, it is still controversial whether the lightning strike ship is a "ship" or a "boat". It is still debatable whether the Bai Yujing Shipyard is a real warship factory. of.
But no matter what, after all, the expanded Bai Yujing Shipyard has provided more than thirty Beiwei and Hubaoqi to the guard fleet and the far-shore fleet, and has also repaired all the old warships of the far-shore guard fleet. .
"Moreover, when the expansion is completed, we will not only be able to produce new fighters, but also build destroyers."
The person who said this was a tall and burly young man with dark and shiny skin. His physique, temperament and eyes were full of working people's atmosphere. Naturally, he was Bouska, whom he had not seen for a while.
Three years ago, when Yu Lian went to Hongfeng Factory, he was an engineer who graduated from a technical school. Two years ago, when Yu Lian was in Xinyumen, he was the captain and consultant of the construction aid team of Tulong Factory. He was still an engineer graduated from a technical school. Now, he has become the branch manager sent to New China by Tulong Factory. He is also an engineer who graduated from a technical school.
Of course, he is Yu Lian's old friend after all. When the latter inspected Bai Yujing Shipyard, it was natural for him to appear among the accompanying people, and he could even interrupt at any time.
"Destroyer?" Yu Lianqi asked.
"Yes. The Type 7 rapid-fire cannon made of Turon gears has shown excellent combat effectiveness on the Thunder Strike Ship. Therefore, Dr. Xie tried to replace all the defensive firepower of the Fletcher 4 destroyer with After receiving the continuous fire of MK7, we are going to hand it over to Bai Yujing Shipyard for construction," Buska said hurriedly.
Let the so-called new warships be built by new shipyards? No, to be precise, it should be that except for new shipyards like Bai Yujing, which no one pays attention to, no one will use precious production capacity to trial-build new ships.
"When will construction start?" Yu Lian suddenly became interested.
"February. Wait for the support staff from the New Suncheon Shipyard to arrive." Busca said quickly.
"Ask them to come here now, construction will start in late January!"
"Understood!" Busca's voice was loud and even a little gloating. He was not the one who was on his way anyway.
Of course Yu Lian knew that the timetable he gave was also very extreme. However, as a war zone commander, if he does not push the limits of the military resources under his command, wouldn't his position as a commander be in vain?
Then, after the routine inspection activities, Busca was naturally called to the office by Yu Lian and had a private gathering.
Of course, Yu Lian also called over, and there was Seldy Stork who had been working in Baichuan Star. The specific work he was responsible for was the construction planning of the agricultural reclamation base around the "West Lake District" of the entire Baichuan Star System, as well as the subsequent agricultural and Material management.
Speaking of which, some people have expressed opinions about a young man in his twenties managing such a large-scale agricultural area, but the voices are not loud. After all, he was the one who came up with the idea of buying nuclear bombs under the billion-year-old glacier of Baichuan Star, so he should continue to take responsibility.
And Stoke, this kid, is still very worthy of this trust.
Around the large lake blown up by the nuclear bomb, hundreds of huge ecological farms have been built. Last year, they completely solved the food problem for everyone in the New China Star Region.
Now, an equal number of farms are being planned, some of which specialize in producing high-end ingredients for export. The beef and lobster Yu Lian ate on the far shore front were produced here.
All of this, of course, is inseparable from Stoke’s precise planning and careful arrangements.
It is said that if the war had not broken out. He has already exported those blue brand bullet lobsters to the empire. In fact, before the war started, some imperial businessmen actually came to inquire about the price.
What a sad, terrible and deplorable era!
