"Jiangyin! Jiangyin should be the first place we start!" Xiang Ying stood up under the influence of alcohol. This disciple of the head of state and a die-hard fan of the Deep Blue Navy started a speech according to his marine thinking!
"In the future world, maritime interests will outweigh everything else! Why do you say that? Because only maritime transportation is the most economical and scalable logistics method that mankind can have at present and even in the future!"
"Business development cannot be separated from the transportation of goods, and the connection between countries cannot be separated from the sea!"
"The old tradition of relying on land routes in the Middle Ages must be broken. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, how long did it take for caravans to travel across China and Europe using camels? But how long did it take to transport by sea?"
"The tonnage of land transportation will never increase. How many horses and camels does a sea ship need to pull the goods? The transportation cost of horse chewing will scare people to death!"
"Relying on railways? Of course it is a very good idea, but no matter how good the railway is, the cost is much higher than sea transportation!"
"Steam ships have been around for a long time, but there are still many sail ships transporting goods on the ocean. Why is this? Because of cost, because of economical savings!"
"Wind costs nothing, but coal and iron cost real money!"
"So I firmly believe that in the next two hundred years... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, even four or five hundred years, maritime interests will always be the most important!"
"Whoever controls the coastline can control the economic lifeline and strangle the throats of inland countries! And after controlling the coastline, the status of those inland rivers that can navigate large ships will also rise!"
"In China, the Yangtze River is the best inland waterway, and it runs directly into the hinterland of Sichuan. The Yangtze River connects the entire Jiangnan Economic Belt in China!"
"The head of state has said more than once that the flow of human wealth is very interesting. The downstream areas of the river are always richer than the upper reaches. But in this era, the mouth of the river is where wealth gathers!"
"The area at the mouth of the Yangtze River will definitely become a place for competition between the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese, and Western forces in the future. The possibility of a large-scale war in this area in the future is very high!"
"It is very dangerous to engage in a naval battle with the British on the ocean! Although I am radical, I am not a reckless man. For the sake of the Chinese nation's five hundred years! I implore the head of state to completely change the Jiangyin Industrial Zone into a semi-military zone!"
"Externally, we use the banner of an industrial zone, but internally we must build the Jiangyin fortress system in accordance with five hundred years of standards!"
"Vigorously develop the military industry. The arsenal should be concentrated here. Under the banner of building a military industrial base, we should start building continuous defense fortifications!"
"The Yangtze River in Jiangyin is mountainous. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack from a high position. There are also islands in the river. If we occupy it, we can build it into an inland river military port. At least medium-tonnage warships can be repaired and berthed!"
"Securing Jiangyin means locking the throat of the Yangtze River. The foreign navy can no longer threaten the Yangtze River Basin west of Jiangyin!"
"In this way, even if there is a war in the future, we can still keep at least half of Jiangnan's economy, and the west of Jiangyin will be peaceful!"
"With such a long Yangtze River Economic Belt in our hands, from Jiangcheng Chongqing to Jiangyin, we will have more confidence to fight the enemy for a long time!"
"Of course I firmly believe that our Chinese navy will win! But we must also be prepared for the misfortune of one in ten thousand! The construction of Jiangyin Fortress is imminent, please increase the priority!"
Everyone present is a person who knows how to fight. Even though he has been drinking, his mind will not be confused when it comes to fighting. "Yes, what Xiang Ying said makes sense!"
"Jiangyin Industrial Zone must be completely militarized. This is the lock on the Yangtze River!"
"Please ask the head of state to sign the order of the head of state!"
Xiao Letian slammed the table, "Okay! Okay, okay... You didn't study abroad in vain, and you didn't play with me in vain. If you can understand the importance of this, you are much more mature than before!"
"Call Naha and ask the Logistics Department to contact officials from the Ministry of Industry to mobilize personnel and materials as quickly as possible to conduct on-site inspections and build sand table models!"
"Since you want a lock of the Yangtze River, then forge an iron lock that will last forever!"
"Come! Cheers..."
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly lively. Huniu finally found a space to answer the conversation, and immediately walked in with the maids carrying wine and food. "It's a big day. Are we still discussing matters? What can we do if we take half a day off?"
"The cold dishes haven't even been served, how much have you drank now? The table has been cleared away, it's become a pig's nest, and I don't have any place to put the dishes!"
Hahaha... everyone burst into laughter, and some people even used their sleeves as rags to sweep the nut shells all over the table to the ground!
"Greetings to Madam! Give Madam a glass of wine, and I'll give Madam a drink later!"
Hu Niu didn’t hesitate, she picked up the wine cup and turned it around half a circle to show her respect to everyone sitting there, then she raised her neck and drank. The hot white wine went into her throat, and Mrs. Hu’s face suddenly turned red!
"Ma'am, I have a good capacity for drinking. I'll have three more drinks..."
"Bah... Luo Huo, are you just waiting to see my joke? While you're at it, I have to serve you some food. You drink well. The food will be ready in a while, and we women in the house still have to drink!"
"Save some alcohol for me and my sisters to drink. Your whole house smells of sweat and stinky feet. Is it disgusting?"
After grabbing the white spot, the whole room burst into laughter. Huniu walked up to Chun Shisanniang and Cai Bixia and whispered, "If we want to talk about serious things ahead, you two will stay with us for a while. If you end up drinking too much and it's boring, just Go to the back hall to find our sisters!"
"My wife and I run a small kitchen, and the food is much better than the ones here! I have the best Fuso chef here, and the sashimi and tempura are delicious. Let's eat them secretly later without sharing any with them!"
The food and wine were served like water, and the women in the back house were all dizzy. Fuhui had been taking medicine to recuperate her body since she had been diagnosed with the disease by Divine Doctor Huang. She was weak and could not last long.
Halfway through the work, he was sweating. He couldn't stand it anymore and quickly went to rest for a while. Ping'er was really worried about his wife, so he quickly dropped what he was doing and went to the back house with Fuhui in person!
"Okay, don't follow me. We're short of manpower in front. I'll have a cup of tea with my wife!"
Returning to the eldest lady's bedroom, Ping'er turned around and closed the door. They were the only two left in the room. Fu Hui asked in confusion, "Why do you close the door properly? How depressing..."
Ping'er looked around and said in a low voice, "Madam...just now when I was taking the maid to pick up fresh vegetables at the back door, I saw someone..."
