Goguryeo, the first steel plant in the southern suburbs of Heitucheng, is the largest steel plant in Goguryeo. Unfortunately, their equipment is old equipment. These steel equipment was imported from Zhao Guohua at a high price. The price they paid was that Goguryeo exempted Zhao's merchants from tax. This means that Zhao State businessmen have great benefits. On the contrary, those Goguryeo businessmen have to bear a considerable proportion of taxes. Although it is unfair, this is the case.

The domestic steel production in Zhao country has popularized the electric bed on a large scale, and used electricity to smelt steel in some important places. It can be said that the technology is very advanced, but the steel director of Goguryeo still uses a lot of steel for smelting. . Fortunately, there is no shortage of coal or labor in Goguryeo, because this kind of old equipment requires a labor force of more than 100,000 people to maintain a high output. The amount of coal they consume is staggering. And the pollution is also great. The environmental pollution of the local Goguryeo people is also very serious. Heitucheng is not only famous for coal. He also has an alias, Heiyun City, because this city is shrouded in huge black smog every day. Pollution. It's very serious.

"Supervisor, there is no way. This is an order from the Ministry of War. We don't want to." Workers Li Chengsan and Li Chengsi are two brothers. They have an older brother above them, and two younger brothers and two younger sisters. They eat a lot, eat a lot, and live under pressure. Forced to make a living, they come to the factory as workers. They wear black work clothes every day. The most important thing is that they eat a lot of dust every day. The pollution here is very serious. White things can't be worn at all, and they can't be used.

"Oh, I also know, who made us unable to do anything, forget it. The order of the War Department is the order of the War Department. I can only give you holidays, otherwise, I am the enemy of Goguryeo." The supervisor in charge of their management was helpless. Speaking of. He had to apply for vacation.

"Hey, we don't want to leave here. We still have our own family. If we leave here, what to eat, they are still young, and I still need my eldest brother to take care of everything. This is still the two of us serving in the military. Otherwise. If so, my eldest brother may go to the north to stay on the railway. I heard that many elderly people without workers, women, and even children have gone. The north is so cold, and it’s colder than here, how can we live." Li Chengsan Speaking of. The names of Goguryeo people usually consist of three characters, and of course there are four characters, but they are from other ethnic groups nearby. This way of naming is mainly different from the Central Plains people, in fact. Some countries in the Central Plains have begun to change their way of naming names, although there are word differences, in order to indicate a large population, more often they will mark words. But the problem is that only a few people can have such a word. The population is entering a period of hyper-expansion, and it is estimated that words will soon be insufficient. It seems that the length of names has become a trend.

"This is a training order from the Ministry of War. We must not disobey. You must train well. Fortunately, the time is not very long. It only takes one month to come back in one month. But the problem is that my workload cannot be changed. When you come back, some of my personnel will be taken away. I heard that these are all preparations for the war. I really don't know how long this situation will last." The supervisor said helplessly.

Goguryeo did not expand its army on a large scale like the Yan people, because then their army would not be able to feed it at all. It would consume a lot of financial funds, which was extremely fatal to them. Solve such difficulties. They have to use such tricks to expand the size of their troops. Perhaps only by doing so can they ensure that they have enough troops to use in the future. However, the army trained in this way is generally not very powerful, because most of them have their own families. They have many concerns when fighting, such as worrying about their parents, family members, relatives, and wives. This will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of combat troops. In order to achieve the ability to use such a unit, they had to conduct training after training. At the same time, they were evenly distributed in a mixed organization during wartime, so that each combat unit could have the same combat effectiveness. This is the question that Zhao Guoren thought of when he designed this training program. The two brothers, Li Chengsan and Li Chengsi, were two of them. They had to participate in the same batch of military training, and these were workers transferred from the factory. They are also responsible for large-scale production.

Zhao Guo, in the North Laizhou military port, four destroyers transformed into expedition ships are preparing to go to sea. They come here to send off their families. The relatives are saying their final farewells to the sailors and naval officers. They have to bear considerable pain, because I don’t know how long it will take to come back. Sometimes it's a few months, or a year, or even longer. In short, sometimes it's longer and farther than they thought. Their family members are very unwilling to give up, but there is no way, this is a military order. It is impossible for their relatives to disobey such an order.

"Iron Mountain." The destroyer. This is a destroyer of only three thousand tons, but it is more than enough for expeditions. He uses a new type of boiler. There are two types of boilers. One can burn oil, and the other can burn everything, because they will encounter various situations during the expedition. In order to solve the problem of not losing power, they also The equipment has modified the watch tower and signal tower. They hope to be able to use sails to propel the destroyer forward, but this is simply impossible, because the number of sails required by such a big guy is definitely not a small number, but they still execute it like this. Up.

"Aren't you going to be alone with your family?" Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Bao asked with a cup of tea.

"No. I don't want to be very sad. When we come back, we will drink together." Li Quan Li, shook his head and said. They are the staff officers in charge of this trip. In fact, they are also responsible for some specific sailing routes and so on, because most of the naval graduates and trainee officers who go out to sea this time are responsible for the entire sailing plan.

"Well, I have a good bottle of wine there, I hid it myself." Zhao Bao said.

"Keep it on the road and drink. We still have a lot of things. This voyage will be very far. The Admiralty’s order is for us to go to the Mediterranean, not through the Suez Canal, but to bypass the entire black continent, which is Africa. The mainland, and then enter the Mediterranean from another place called Gibraltar, where we will meet with the Carthaginians." Li Quan did not continue to talk about alcohol. They could not drink, although a considerable part of the alcohol was kept on the warship, except for disinfection. In addition, there is another important reason because of the relationship between water quality. In the early days of sailing, water quality has always been a big problem. It is difficult to store water for too long, and the water can be polluted. That kind of water is difficult to drink. , Because there is a very strange taste, if you drink it, it is like a poison, and it is difficult for many people to drink it. It is under such a situation that alcohol boarded the warship, because if you do this, they will have alcohol in the water. This is why a certain amount of alcohol is maintained on warships. However, as the precision of weapons increases, long-term drinking will cause many things to happen. For example, more mistakes will occur, which will reduce the combat effectiveness of warships. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, they had to make improvements. Strict restrictions on alcohol were made, and drinking was forbidden during the entire voyage and during the battle.

"Mediterranean?" Zhao Bao asked.

"Yes, that's it. That's how the order was written. In fact, it was an expedition, and they gave it to these young, ideal, and enthusiastic young sailors. And officers, especially those who had just graduated from the military academy. Military school graduates, they are full of ideals and enthusiasm, and what the Admiralty needs is such enthusiasm. When they encounter various difficulties, they will become unenthusiastic." Li Quan said. To. He seems to be very dissatisfied with the Admiralty's order, because this situation is definitely not what he hopes to see. If there is an accident, this class of graduates will be completely lost. The Admiralty is taking a risk.

"What I know is that many military academies are dispatched. They don't seem to care about these cheap resources at all." Zhao Bao expressed his opinion.

"I can't help it. Who can let the situation be like this." Li Quan said helplessly. The officers and students are waving their arms to say goodbye to their relatives, and their relatives do not know what will happen to these officers and students. They just think that this long sea voyage is good for them, but the advantage is that they need to bear. More worry. Various risks will exist.

"What's the matter? I cried." Song Yi asked his classmate friend, Zhang Zhi, with a smile.

"Who is crying? You just cried. I just blew the sand into my eyes. The wind here is quite strong. Let's go in and clean it up. I can't wait to see what my dormitory is like." Zhang Zhi said so. Song Yi shrugged.

"When you cry, you cry. It's not that you have never cried. Anyone who encounters such a situation will cry and will not talk." Song Yi said.

"I didn't cry. I understand." Zhang Zhi said dissatisfiedly. Then turned and left.
