Chapter 1345: Like a fish in water, Qinggang City is going to have the surname "Su"!
Sunny Harbor Shelter.
Inside the city hall where the ground has been repaired.
When the plans to rebuild the city were gathered here through various channels, deputy manager Tang En was in an almost unprecedented mood.
"Sorry, can you repeat it again? Are you saying that they are all willing to cooperate with the Tianyuan Alliance to rebuild the entire city?" Commander Edmund was still asking, somewhat unable to believe this explosive news.
Damn it, have these people forgotten all the supplies it will cost to rebuild the city?
Before, trying to take some away from the thugs in the southern suburbs seemed to cost them their lives, but now they are actually willing to cooperate with the alliance to rebuild the city?
"Yes, Lord Edmund, I was listening when the meeting started. If the situation does not go as I expected, the managers in the eastern suburbs will agree within three days at the latest. Yes!" The man disguised as a waiter at the meeting reported truthfully.
As soon as the Dongjiao managers heard about it, they made the decision on the spot and planned to go to the league for in-depth consultation.
Edmund frowned, suddenly feeling bad.
The staff nearby could not help but curse.
“Let them go. Others don’t know the situation in the city. Aren’t we still unclear?”
“Yes, now all the city’s pipelines are on the verge of aging and collapse. , These people don’t think that rebuilding the city only requires some materials and can be completed by manpower, right?”
“It took us four years to build the underground pipelines in the industrial zone. How long will it take them? , will it take ten or even twenty years to renovate the city?”
“That’s ridiculous. Does the Tianyuan Alliance think that it can ignore anything after winning a war? ?”
"We don't have to destroy this plan at all. So what if we let them rebuild? There is no loss to us anyway!"
"These people did not agree to Mr. Tang En's plan at first, but now they agree to Sumo's plan. I It’s obvious that you look down on me.”
“Uh, uh, why are you covering my mouth?”
Seeing Tang En’s almost murderous look, the staff next to him quickly held it down. The person who speaks.
Shit, although Qinggang Shelter has recently learned various systems of the Tianyuan Alliance and its internal environment has become much more open, can you still say this?
If you don’t want to live, don’t drag everyone to die with you!
Fortunately, Tang En's personality has indeed undergone a big change recently, and he is always imitating the leader of the Tianyuan Alliance, consciously or unconsciously.
At this time, even if I heard someone taunting me, I didn’t get angry on the spot. Instead, I said slowly with a dark face: "Rebuilding the city is not something that can be completed overnight. What we need to be wary of is not the plan itself. , but the real purpose behind them.”
“Thomas, you just said that the alliance is about to bring a large number of workers from the outside?”
“Yes, Lord Archon.” Thomas thought for a while and added: "If there are not a sufficient number of workers, even if they build a factory in the city, there will not be enough manpower for production."
The gopher guys in the shelter can't be counted as laborers.
As we all know, the higher the level of education, the greater the desire for so-called "freedom".
The managers of major shelters don’t need a group of residents who will overthrow them at any time.
From birth to adulthood, most people have received only enough education to understand commonly used words.
It is estimated that it will take at least a year and a half to send such people into the factory and just teach them how to use various equipment for production.
And that’s without counting the training costs!
"Have they found markets for goods produced by labor outside?" Tang En asked again.
“Yes, that’s what Aldrich said. He said that the goods produced in the city will not make a penny for himself, but will all be sold outside to others for profit.”
“This is the key point we ignored.”
Twain stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked down at the group of staff standing below.
"A bunch of idiots, stop setting your sights on the city!"
"The Tianyuan Alliance has gone out, they have discovered the gathering place and the vast market.
Damn it , they don’t want to rebuild the city at all, and their real purpose is to unite everyone to expand production and make money outside.”
After Tang En said this, the expressions of the group of staff changed, and everyone changed their faces. He stared down at the ground, not knowing what to say.
The thorny issue has come full circle and seems to be back to the starting point.
Tang En said something else, didn't he just want Qinggang Shelter to go out quickly and explore new markets?
But the key to the problem is how many times they have tried, and they have found nothing at all.
The surrounding hundreds of kilometers have been wiped out by the Tianyuan Alliance. If you want to find new gathering places and markets, you have to go thousands of kilometers away.
And in this unknown land, wouldn’t it be courting death to dare to go so far away?
After losing several of the expedition teams sent out, Tang En had given up on this idea for the time being.
Now that I say that, I'm afraid I have to restart the expedition plan again.
"Why are you so silent? Are you mute? Didn't everyone speak well just now?"
Twain turned his head and glanced at one staff member after another.
No one dared to look at him, except Edmund who was thoughtful next to him.
"Edmund, we must restart the expedition. We can no longer sit back and wait for death." Tang En's expression was serious, somewhat like Hades's majesty.
But the more this happens, the more it reveals that the authority in his hands is very restricted, and even this kind of thing has to be discussed.
As expected, Edmund did not follow Tang En’s suggestion, but shook his head and objected:
“You have also seen the strangeness of this land, if we hadn’t always paid attention to the Tianyuan Alliance The information, even the big cooling that just ended, cannot be prevented in advance
It turns out that they definitely have some secrets that we cannot obtain, and how many people have been sent before they understand these secrets. In my opinion, going out is a meaningless attempt. "
Except for the bloody sky the night before, there was almost no warning for the Blue Star people.
This time, if the temperature dropped drastically, had the people from the Tianyuan Alliance not prepared in advance, the cooling process would have been as steady as an old dog.
Twain probably couldn't help but give the order, and everyone retreated to the underground shelter.
With such a huge information gap, isn’t it a joke to want to compete with others in the market?
"Then what do you think we should do now? Do we have to watch them unite all the managers in the city, rebuild the city and factories step by step, and export goods to earn massive resources?" Tang En's The questioning immediately made Edmund feel uncomfortable.
But this is also a fact. Sunny Harbor Sanctuary must take action no matter what.
Otherwise, when the other party really improves this trading system, the development speed will reach an unimaginably terrifying level.
“Ahem, I think we can reach a certain degree of cooperation with Tianyuan.”
Edmon paused: “Didn’t they also send us invitations, but we didn’t go? That’s all.”
“Cooperation?” Tang En almost laughed angrily as if he had heard some cold joke.
Let’s not talk about whether it can be successful or not, and what they can earn from it.
According to the current domineering style of the Tianyuan Alliance, collaborators with the same status will never be allowed.
If Clear Harbor Sanctuary plans to join this system, it must be inferior to others.
By then, won’t this city have to have the surname “Su”?
Although there are undercurrents surging in Qinggang City, various forces are in a mess.
But Tianyuan Territory seems to have become a small world independent of the outside world. The interior is full of joy, and the lights and colors are decorated as if it is a new year.
The temporary pier used for berthing warships has been completely renovated. Not only are the connections all painted with festive red and blue paint, but even the pedestrian walkways are hung with several neatly arranged flaming lanterns. The surface of each lantern is embroidered with gold thread with the words "Welcome back the heroes", which shines in the sun and looks particularly dazzling.
Not far away, a group of musicians were rehearsing intensively.
They have a wide variety of musical instruments in their hands, including war drums, bamboo flutes, and of course the indispensable horns.
This music will resound throughout the territory on the day the expedition team returns, creating the most enthusiastic atmosphere for the triumph.
In the central official area of Hope Town, a temporary archway with the theme of "Celebrating the Victory of the Battle of Black Rock City" is also particularly eye-catching.
The archway is decorated with bright red silk, with golden tassels fluttering in the wind. Groups of children are running around merrily, with laughter and cheers one after another, adding a bit of festival to this special day. of joy.
In addition to these carefully prepared welcoming ceremonies, various celebrations were also spontaneously organized in the territory.
Major restaurants have launched special themed catering. Not only are the dishes rich and diverse, but each dish also incorporates elements of war victory.
For example, Wu You's Huoli Restaurant directly launched the so-called "Heroes' Triumph Banquet".
The dishes are named after military themes, such as "Battlefield Turkey", "Warrior Armored Fish", etc. Although the recipe is still the same with only a different name, it still allows customers to feel the joyful atmosphere of victory in the war while tasting the delicious food.
Another example is the Hope Bistro, which was opened first and became the hot spot of the celebration.
In order to welcome the heroes back, the tavern has been newly decorated. It is not only decorated with flags and ribbons symbolizing victory, but also has a dazzling array of specialty wines and drinks, each of which also incorporates elements of war victory.
For example, the special "Homecoming" cocktail uses high-quality spirits as the base liquor, and then adds a variety of fresh fruit juices and special syrups. It has a mellow yet refreshing taste and was launched in just half an afternoon. The reservation arrived three days later!
In addition, Hope Bistro also specially invited the best singers and actors in the territory.
Every day at seven o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a drama of "The Destroy of the Dwarves". Every time there is a scene where Sumo, the manager, falls from the sky and kills everyone, the ground of the entire Hope Town seems to be shaking.
Of course, the official agencies of the territory are not idle either. For example, the Security Office has launched a military knowledge competition.
The content of the competition covers many aspects such as military theory, weapons and equipment, strategies and tactics, etc., attracting the active participation of many residents. It not only increases ordinary people's understanding of war, but also reduces the fear caused by war. .
In addition, the final prizes distributed were war victory souvenirs.
After introducing the benefits of war from the side, even the number of recruits signing up to join the army increased by 30%!
About four o'clock in the afternoon.
The fleet, which had been sailing for nearly twenty hours, began to enter Tianyuan waters.
Compared with the outbound journey, after getting familiar with the terrain and points of this water area, the speed of the return journey increased again.
And the most important thing is that there is a significant difference in comfort between the river and the sea.
Because the water flow in the river is relatively gentle, even if the speed of the ship increases, the bumps will be much less than in the sea, and there will be less interference from the outside world. Both stability and safety are not at the same level.
This also caused most people to get on the boat and take a nap. After getting up and having breakfast, they were shocked to find out.
Why are we almost home? !
“Our water area still looks friendly. It would be better if we could build a military base here in the future.”
Pointing to the great plains along both sides of the river, Somo was delighted. Thinking freely.
Limited by the overall area of the New World in the future ruins, there are actually very few terrains for the development of major gathering places, especially the sought-after plains, which are almost battlegrounds for military strategists.
However, as the area of the new continent in the real wasteland expanded several times, the area of the original plains directly expanded several times, so there was no need to worry about dividing it.
And the biggest advantage of the central plate is that the terrain is flat, basically composed of plains and hills.
This has advantages that other sectors cannot match in the development of industrial and gathering place clusters.
"In addition, we also need to control this river and not let any ship pass by casually."
"The lord is right." Captain Cui Lushayou Nodding matter-of-factly: "Unless we open a tributary, all incoming fleets will have to pass through our territory. If someone has evil intentions, it will be troublesome."
This time for the battle of Black Rock City, Tianyuan Territory has made a lot of preparations.
Like two fleets. Although it did not help much, it is undeniable that there is a guerrilla force that can break into the enemy's rear at any time, and the combat troops in the front are also much more unscrupulous.
“This is easy to do. Just launch an identification friend or foe chip at that time. As long as the radar detects that a ship without a radio frequency chip enters the waters, it will be able to find the enemy with the first warning.”
"The difficult thing is actually underwater. Those strange aliens who want to enter from the bottom of the water are the trouble." Su Deben added next to him.
But at this moment, a burst of warm cheers suddenly broke out from the first few ships in front of the fleet.
The sound came like a tidal wave, instantly breaking the tranquility of the water.
Many conscripts ran out of the cabin and lay beside the deck railing looking ahead.
In their field of vision, the decorated temporary pier was so conspicuous, even from a few kilometers away!
