C524 Secret meeting of the Prime Ministers Manor (2/2)
Everyone naturally thought of Mike Carnegie who came from the United States. This young man really treated Xiao Letian's career as her own, staying in the Tanggu for a long time, she was the one who built the first hand model for the Industrial Zones.
Initially, Xiao Letian's plan was to use a ring of fortifications to surround and transport materials to and from the port and the Special Administrative Region. However, this plan was rejected by Mike and his proposal was to link the Port and the Special Zone together.
The eastern side of the Industrial Zones was directly facing Bohai Bay, and the goods on the ship could be loaded into the special area to be transported back and forth by special small trains. This way, only three walls were needed, not only could they save money, they could also increase protection.
”What? Do you think this is lowering the defensive power?” What a joke, is there any defensive power in this world that is more effective than the warship naval gun? ” Mike Carnegie roared.
”Go to Hong Kong, go to Shanghai, where are the residences and business districts of the foreigners? They do not even have walls. They only rely on the powerful firepower of their warships to provide protection! ”
”Prime Minister Xiao of the East Sea, do you not have a navy in the future? Is it always the Marines fighting with their lives? ”
Mike Carnegie's words left everyone speechless. The final blueprint had been drawn according to his plan.
The moment the war started, we can see the benefits of the docks. The docks are filled with cargo ships from all over the world, and as long as we issue purchase orders, they can eat as much as they want. There is no need to worry about military supplies at all, even our most heavily injured people can send them out … Great, everything is as the Prime Minister had said, as long as we have the ocean, we can fight the Qing Dynasty to the death! ”
At this time, Sima Yun, who loved to keep silent the most, also spoke up, ”That's right, the current world is the world of the ocean, only powers who have the right to control the sea can have a future, this long journey to the Heavy Ocean has really broadened our horizons. Why is the Merchant Road on the ocean so busy, the Strait of Gibraltar is almost filled with Feng Sails …”
”We of Tanggu have our own port. Before the sea is strong enough to threaten us, we can supply all kinds of materials. Just by looking at the list, we bought 60,000 jars of all kinds of cans produced by America. Those Purging Demons probably never ate this stuff in their entire lives.”
Luo Huo also laughed at the side: ”Right, right, right, during this period of time, from Tanggu and the Ryukyu, we used a sea ship to transport many wounded soldiers, who needed to recuperate, to the Deer Island. I heard from my subordinates that the scenery in the Japan is beautiful, and the Japanese women are very good at attending to people.
”Hahaha …” Everyone burst out laughing, then Xiao Hexin asked: ”Where is our Wealth account? Where is he now? ”This is our treasure ship forging coins. We can't allow any accidents to happen …”
”Don't worry, Fortune has already bypassed the Korean Peninsula and entered the Sea of Japan in the north. Other than a few old Russia warships who are a threat to us, the rest of us will be up to you …” ”Hehe, I don't think the Qing Dynasty even knows that there is another sea to the north of North Korea …”
The minds of the continent and the ocean were just this different. Qing Dynasty, who had the minds of the continent, didn't know how to use the ocean at all. In their eyes, the ocean was a forbidden zone and a forbidden zone for humans.
As long as they had the right to control the seas, they could have up to a hundred different ways to fight against the Qing Dynasty. If they angered Xiao Letian, he could even hire a ship to forcefully land at the camp's entrance, and the thousand odd marines could force their way in and catch the Shengjing off guard.
It could be said that with the sea in hand, the world was mine! Xiao Letian and the others really did not care about the threat the Qing Dynasty posed to them. Before the meeting ended, Xiao Letian said casually, ”It looks like Tanggu won't be able to lose anything in a short period of time. The only thing I'm worried about is the situation in the capital, but I believe in Qing San Ye's strength, so I will stay in Ryukyu for another three days …”
”In these three days, you guys can choose a thousand New Army Warriors. After three days, I'll bring everyone back …”
”Yes sir!” A series of roars sounded out in the study room, followed by a group of military officers walking out. The personal guards who were waiting outside quickly led their horses to welcome them.
Three days was the fastest time Xiao Letian could squeeze out. After all, the new army had to be integrated, and the European army needed time to return to the army. The organization structure was not something that could be completed in a single day.
There were many documents that needed to be looked at personally by Xiao Letian himself. He had already slept for less than four hours every three days, and was so busy that he did not have the time to interrogate that bastard Molière.
However, in these three days, an accident happened. Tanggu Industrial Special Zone, who was originally thought to be as steady as Mt.
