C1397 Visitors from the Wu Songkou (1/2)
The open rivalry between the seniors and juniors continued, but they were all hiding very well. Only they themselves and a limited number of those who knew the inside information could smell the gunpowder within.
Especially Cai Bixia, she thought as she stood on the deck and glared fiercely at command cabin. Xiang Ying, that evil being, had been staring at her with lustful eyes, causing him to make a few mistakes during his first aid training.
Although the two of them had rolled over in Prussia, they were, after all, children who had grown up in East Asia, a traditional land of etiquette. They had to put on an act on the surface.
But with just a quick glance, Cai Bixia could tell that Zai Chun was extremely angry, and it looked like he suffered a loss again. She really treated Zai Chun as a little brother. She didn't want her future husband to clash with Zai Chun, but she knew that the vortex of politics was not something that a woman like her could control.
Sometimes, many things were fated, or it could even be said that they were enemies from a previous life.
Zai Chun angrily pushed open the cabin door and shouted, ”Everyone listen up, I am now the Zhiyuan Warship's health supervisor! Whoever's clothes are not clean, the cabin is not tidy, let's see how I clean you guys up! ”
Xiang Ying was also startled when he heard it, thinking that this little emperor could truly yield and submit easily! [I actually took his joke seriously, that's not bad. Let him do it then.]
Zai Chun used the chicken feathers as arrows to clean up the entire Zhiyuan Warship. He even started to take care of Wang Huaiyuan and the version of the Dragon Horse, making everyone not know whether to laugh or cry.
However, the results were obvious. The deck was wiped spotless, the gun base was filled with paint that looked shiny and shiny, the rust on the rivets had also been cleaned up timely. Within a day, the Zhiyuan Warship had actually used up eighty percent of its paint reserves.
The sailors had all changed into brand-new uniforms, and the cannons had been taken off. The huge cannons looked all around them, and the colorful flags on the masts were drawn into a long ribbon.
Shanghai! The Eastern Illusory Paradise, a paradise for Western adventurer s. From the time it had first opened its doors, it had quickly become the most prosperous city in Asia.
At this moment, Hong Kong, Tokyo and the Singapore were in a completely different world. Only Shanghai was able to create East Asia's most famous business capital by relying on its best port location and the Yangtze River economic circle behind it.
The Huangpu River was the last branch of the Yangtze River. It flowed into the Yangtze River and converged into the East Sea, and west of the Huangpu River was the original busiest city in Shanghai, Puxi Region. As for Pudong, it was still a wasteland. After that, it was a farmland and a warehouse.
This was one of the most important leases in East Asia for Europe. The English and French had invested a lot of manpower and defense here, and during the war, the British alone were able to gather 40,000 troops here, let alone France.
It was already peaceful, but there were more than 20,000 soldiers in the rented world, not to mention the fact that they were stationed in the navy.
Such a heavily guarded place would definitely be a town filled with wealth. The place where the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River were floating was not a boat at all, but rather gold and silver.
All the precious goods in Jiangnan came to this place, and then they would go to sea here. As long as they could get a boat full of tea and send it to Europe, it would be three times more lucrative.
In such a bustling place, one could already imagine the bustling scene of the boats on the river day and night, with goods arriving in all directions. The foreign devils in Shanghai had long gotten used to looking at the river during the day and the beautiful river at night.
