On a not particularly sunny afternoon, there were dark clouds rolling in the sky outside. Tang Mo turned on the desk lamp and felt the blazing heat emanating from the bulb.
He opened the third letter Roger sent back from Black Dragon Island under the lamp, with a faint smile on his face. He liked such a quiet afternoon, and liked to look down at his familiar handwriting, writing vividly on the paper.
happiness on.
Tang Mo,
I have received the roster and medals you mailed. I never dreamed that a mediocre little old man like me would one day become a baron of the Kingdom of Wright.
A title, as you said, is something you can get if you want it... I was excited for several days. Really, I suddenly wanted to go to the cemetery to see my mother and her son.
Tell her about becoming a baron.
But I know that I have more important things to do. I want to help you take good care of this island, this island full of wealth!
To be honest, I think since I am already a baron, you should also think carefully about your title.
In fact, the viscount is not worthy of you at all. You should be the fourth earl of the Wright Kingdom and become a real noble!
You are the most energetic and forward-looking young man I have ever seen. Your investment in Heilong Island will definitely become the most profitable investment.
Now, we have built a town here, and the workers love this process of building a new home from scratch.
Frankly speaking, this is a kind of enjoyment. We live in this paradise-like place without any worries, as if the rest of the world has nothing to do with us.
The hunters have found the third coastline of this island. This island can really be said to be very huge, so huge that it is surprising.
I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call this island a continent – we don’t know how long it is from east to west, but it’s at least 190 kilometers from north to south.
According to our exploration and speculation, the east-west length of this island is probably at least 210 kilometers or more.
There are mountains, rivers and many animals on the island. We found tigers and some beautiful birds on the island.
We can already produce the tools and equipment we want here, and the women have cultivated about 30 acres of farmland next to the town.
If we include the almost endless fruits and game on the islands, we can even achieve food self-sufficiency in a short period of time...
However, according to your assumption, the population here will be larger, so we will not stop our efforts to reserve food.
We built a granary in the town and also built a livestock breeding base. The pigs, cattle and sheep brought from Bunas were very adapted to life here, and the hens laid eggs very smoothly.
Every morning, when I open my eyes and open the window of my room, I can see our sailboat cruising on the sea in the distance.
This is simply paradise, Tang Mo, you should come here and become the master of this island.
We have reinforced the port's pier with cement. You may not believe it, but the size of the pier here is already comparable to that of Bunas.
Because we have a lot of cement, as well as more wood and stone. The stone here is quite sufficient, at least enough for us to squander for a while.
We used the explosives we brought to quarry stones, and then built a pier in this natural harbor. Now the pier here can directly accommodate ironclad ships, and we also found a larger and better port location in another place.
It is not far from our place and can even be connected and built together. However, we have no way to spread our manpower now, so we can only develop the area that has begun to take shape first.
According to your request, we gave this place a new name, called Dragon City, and it now belongs completely to you.
There are currently 5 factories in Longcheng, one is a masonry factory, one is for the production of machine tools, one is for the production and maintenance of steam engines, one is for refining petroleum, and the other is an arms production factory.
They are located in the four corners of the town and are managed by specialized talents. I often go to see the construction status of those places, and the progress is very good.
We can already produce our own bricks and use these bricks to build houses. There are already many houses here with masonry structures, which is good for wind resistance.
We don't know how cold the winter here is, but looking at the plants here, we speculate that the winter here should be similar to Bunas.
To be on the safe side, I hope you can prepare some cotton clothes and send them here, as well as a stove and some thickened tents to avoid problems in the winter.
We have been able to refine some oil here according to your requirements. I have also seen what I have obtained, and it is exactly the same as what you asked for.
Although I know that this thing can burn violently, I still can't figure out what use this thing can have.
But since you think this thing is useful, then I must expand the factory here until it can meet your needs.
The population here has exceeded 6,000 people. It is indeed not easy to feed so many people.
If you hadn't recruited dozens of students from the school to help, I really wouldn't have the ability to manage such a small town.
As I started working, I discovered that coordinating a small town and making it run is not an easy task.
Although you had already planned the division of labor before coming here, the actual operation still made me a little confused.
Fortunately, you let Loew stay. This really helped me a lot. He is in charge of the army, security and training here, which really makes me feel at ease.
The troops here have also expanded a bit, and now the total strength has reached 6 companies and two battalions. Although there is still only one battalion of artillery for heavy weapons, the other battalion, as a mountain light infantry, actually already has basic combat capabilities.
.
We have stockpiled at least two basic bullets. Although it is not enough to cope with a war, we still have some guarantees for simple self-defense.
In addition, our safety can actually be guaranteed. After all, there is an armored ship staying on the sea. That is the guarantee of our invincibility!
Although we have the support of ironclad ships, the most worrying thing about living on the island is still the war that may come at any time.
This is still uninhabited land, and we have only found some traces of measurements. We did not see other humans during our exploration here, so we cannot tell whether anyone will come back.
If a country suddenly becomes interested in this island, I think it is possible that the other country will go to war with us over such a huge piece of territory.
Even based on the smallest area, this place is larger than the entire North Ridge. No one will give up on such an island, so I think a war will eventually break out.
It's not someone else's war, it's ours!
Our Datang Group is in a war with one or several unknown forces! I think we should be prepared for this! I think we should not let others take away such a beautiful place from our hands.
Even if we have nothing but this island in the future, this life is worth it. So, I, Roger, am willing to fight for this island!
For this reason, I also hope that you can prepare for battle and expand the army. At least we should deploy 3,000 people on this island! We should also cultivate a large field here and build at least dozens of factories here!
Of course, these are all my personal thoughts. You may have a better plan. In short, I listen to you.
How is that little witch in Youlin doing? Is she still looking her best in school? Hahaha... I feel happy just thinking about it.
Dino doesn't seem to talk much, but he definitely admires you the most. It can be seen from the way he looks at you that he simply regards you as his father.
Oh, by the way, isn't Garza's father also on Black Dragon Island? He mentioned his son to me yesterday, and his proud look made me a little jealous, hahahaha.
If you reply, please send a few words to Garza's father, so that he will be happier. You know, when he is happy, he can do a lot more work every day.
Are the newly recruited talents still useful? I actually miss working by your side.
This is the last time I call you by your name. After all, Datang Group can only have one voice and one master, and you are its only master.
So, please accept my loyalty and let me become your subordinate. Although I am your father's partner, my efforts are indeed not worthy of everything you have created.
Don't embarrass me, please let me sincerely call you master, you...or you, my dull but loyal subordinate, Roger.
yours truly.
Holding the letter in his hand, the smile on Tang Mo's face deepened. He looked at Roger's handwriting again, and then placed the letter on the table.
His uncle, who was not a biological uncle, was really a lovely person. He picked up the pen and thought about it for a long time but wrote nothing.
The development plan of Heilong Island is going very smoothly. He has already obtained dozens of barrels of gasoline. If he needs it, he can also obtain petroleum products such as diesel.
In any case, he can now get himself a car, a cool and fast... very, very handsome... car.
Well, there are so many things that don’t exist in this world. When can I get myself a smartphone? It will be so convenient then...
Thinking of this, Tang Mo grabbed the pen again and wrote a row of vigorous words on the letter paper: "Dear Uncle Roger..."
