Then, everyone set off again, sailing along the mountain-sea channel to the New China star area. On the last day of 833, the fleet arrived at the last stop of the mountain-sea channel, the star system called "Shanhai Pass".
There are also various constructions here. Array turrets, deep space probes, shipyards, everything you can find is available. The original small fortress has also been expanded by more than one circle, and the small space city used to serve as a transit point for merchant ships has been expanded.
It is being restructured in the direction of militarization.
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 started 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, and finally built a number of dual-use transit and maintenance facilities.
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.
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 as well.
In this case, it should be unlikely to waste 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 hopeless! 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 emotion in this regard. He once again highly praised the builders of New China and the engineers of the Far Coast Theater 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 that is scary is the fear 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, and this may also be the star sector 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 for me to say this to you now, but it seems quite lacking in ritual if I 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 here (in this life). However, in the previous timeline, he has lived here for a long time. Not only has he participated
The Leviathan crusade that attracted the attention of the whole universe was also fought in Shanhaiguan, farmed in Baichuan, and killed primitive predators on the pioneering planet of Tianshu.
In the end, he even used his vest to buy a house in Baiyujing. He really considered retiring from the world and spending his whole life here.
In a sense, this remote star region, which is still in its barbaric pioneering stage and full of vitality, gives me a sense of a second hometown.
Therefore, when 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 were on the passenger ship, welcoming the new year of the common calendar year 834.
Everyone held a simple celebration, and the old friends naturally gathered together, eating hot pot, singing songs, and drinking wine at the same time.
Then, Yu Lian sent a blessing video to the Qianjun soldiers online.
Of course, he also received a video of New Year greetings from President Keith Nishita. In the video, Mr. President seemed to be in a better spirit than when he held a press conference last time, and he calmly expressed his greetings to all officers and soldiers.
I am grateful and encourage everyone. Next year we will be able to drive away the evil imperial invaders.
Let's face it, President Nikita performed quite well in terms of a statesman-like New Year's greeting speech.
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". Of course Yu Lian was one of them.
This is the character of Corporal Rihyeon who has been with Mr. Nishita since the days of the Generalissimo.
Regardless of whether this is a trick that only pays lip service to the reality, there are still many senior military 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 were replaced by
The other young generals are afraid that they have already taken their heart out of him.
However, this year is obviously wartime, when the morale of the frontline troops is most needed, but Mr. Nishita has not expressed this. This makes Yu Lian a little uncomfortable.
...Tsk, does this count as "neglect is not as good as distance is resentment"? He thought of this question, and immediately gave himself a slap in the face.
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, so 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 since the discovery of the mountain-sea waterway, this planet has always been the only naturally habitable planet in the entire New China. It is an Earth-like planet with a surface land and ocean ratio of 3:7. The oxygen content is slightly higher than that of the Earth.
Percentage points, the climate is slightly dry, but overall it is within the adaptation range of ordinary humans.
However, 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 district government has been attracting immigrants, and in addition, the melting of the icebergs of Baichuan Star next door has caused a huge
because of the farming area.
"Haha, although I claim to be a star district governor, I am actually equivalent to the level of an administrative commissioner on a planet in the empire. In the era of my home star, I was just a county magistrate. However, this is fine. It is just a literati turning 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, or in other words, he is not the type who is accustomed to being modest: "So, we are increasing the infrastructure construction in the district and providing jobs for immigration and development.
Baichuan and Tianshu. They built row houses as a civic welfare for immigrants and pioneers. Ahaha, when the glaciers of Baichuan star melted, I was even going to name the big lake dug out by nuclear bombs West Lake."
Is the area 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, the planet government would have had the money to build a top-grade pioneer camp in Tianshu, right?"
"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 and wellness centers specifically for pioneers?"
As for the previous 52 billion loan from the Alliance Red Rose Foundation to New China, it has basically been spent now. Of course, it has been turned into a high-energy physics laboratory in Tianshu, a road and a hydroponic granary next to Baichuanxing West Lake, and a military facility in Shanhaiguan.
equipment, and there are probably more than 100 primary and secondary schools and technical schools in the entire star region.
What's the saying? A good politician may not necessarily be able to make money, but he must be able to spend it. From this aspect, Mr. Qi has done a good job.
Of course, these expenses naturally constitute the first phase of construction of Bai Yujing Shipyard.
The history of this shipyard is not actually 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 have the ability to build torpedo ships and assault ships, as well as fighter aircraft.
Of course, considering that assault ships are already a type of ship that is about to 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 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, and he is still
An engineer who 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 was Yu Lian's old friend after all. When the latter inspected Bai Yujing Shipyard, he naturally appeared in the crowd accompanying him and could even interrupt at any time.
"Destroyer?" Yu Lianqi asked.
"Yes. The Type 7 rapid-fire cannon made of Turon gears has already shown excellent combat effectiveness on the Thunder Strike Ship. Therefore, Dr. Xie tried to replace all the defensive firepower of the Fletcher No. 4 destroyer with
After catching 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 new shipyards that no one pays attention to, except Bai Yujing. No one will use precious production capacity to trial-build new ships.
"When will construction start?" Yu Lian suddenly became interested.
"In February, wait until the support personnel from the New Suncheon Shipyard arrive." Busca said quickly.
"Let them come here now and construction will start in late January!"
"Understood!" Busca's voice was loud and even a little gloating, since it was not him 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 did not use the military resources under his command to the limit, wouldn't his job 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 Baichuan Star System, as well as the subsequent agricultural and
Material management.
Speaking of which, some people have raised opinions about a young man in his twenties managing such a large-scale agricultural area, but the voices are not loud. After all, those who buy nuclear bombs under the billion-year-old glaciers of Baichuan Star
He came up with the solution, so he should continue to take responsibility.
And Stoker, this kid, is still very worthy of this trust.
Around the large lake blown up by nuclear bombs, 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 the production of high-end ingredients for export. The beef and lobsters that 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 would have exported those blue brand bullet lobsters to the empire. In fact, before the war started, some empire businessmen actually came to inquire about the price.
