C1919 Creating a New World
In ancient times, the Han Country was rich in silk and porcelain. These products were quite popular in the west. Therefore, there were some merchants who came from thousands of miles away to Han Country to buy silk and porcelain here in large quantities. They sent them to the Western World.2
At that time, they had two channels from the sea or land. Among them, the passageway on land was the one that Qin Guan paid the most attention to. Because the strength of the Han Country's navy was still weak, even if he kept using his system to increase the strength of the Han Navy. It's still flawed. Therefore, the Han Navy had been doing this for a long time. Under such circumstances... The Han Country had to pay attention to the transportation on land, so as not to be strangled by the Y Country in the future.
They had to build a highway from within the Han Country and extend it all the way here. That way, they could bypass the dangerous straits and create a new world for the Han Country!
When Qin Guan thought of this, he immediately became excited. That's right, he had to start thinking about this now. Creating a major road to avoid being surrounded and intercepted by the sea. Passing through the land directly, the cost of creating this passage is very high. He had to invest a huge sum of money, the money he earned this time... It just so happened that a portion of it could be invested in this project. In this way, it could also bring about the economic development of the nearby areas. It was definitely a project that the countries along the way would welcome with open arms.
However, how should it begin?
He still had to wait for an opportunity!
Just as Qin Guan was thinking about this matter, the curtains to the large-scale assault on the ship had finally been drawn!
The first to attack was the Parthia. After all, the Parthia had already made a statement. They were going to do it as they wished. They were going to scold the Y Country and the Bear Country. They were fearless. They detained the people of the Y Country Embassy as hostages. They also did an excellent job. In their eyes, there was nothing that they couldn't do. Now, since they said they wanted to start taking action against all the countries that supported the Coconut Jujube Country, of course, they wouldn't hesitate either.
The bay here was the busiest bay in the world. After all, the coastal countries here produced oil. Their oil was most economically transported through the sea.
The Ebben-Els Hamm was a large oil mill in Waterless Country, with a displacement of 60,000 tons. It had a huge belly like the other oil ships. The deck was covered with red anti-rust paint, behind the entire ship. There was only a narrow bridge.
Waterless Country was right next to Coconut Jujube Country. The land area was small, but there was a lot of oil under the land. There was even a saying that the entire Waterless Country was floating on top of oil. As long as they made a hole in the ground, the oil would spurt out by itself. It was the best quality of light crude oil, so the wealth of oil in Waterless Country was enormous. At the same time, they were the ones who supported Coconut Jujube Country the most.
The words of the Waterless Country also had a history. Although they were a coastal country, however, there were water rivers and lakes in the country every year, even though the underground water was rich. However, there was very little fresh water. Most of it was saltwater and could not be drunk directly. After all, by leaning against the sea, the underground water was also infiltrated by the salinity of the seawater. So, they were the countries in the world that lacked the most water resources per capita. They were called Waterless Country.
Although there was no water, they didn't have to worry about it because they were rich. Therefore, he could buy water from the nearby Coconut Jujube Country, or directly desalinate the seawater. Relying on oil wealth, Waterless was one of the most developed countries in the world.
Furthermore, Waterless had a special characteristic. They had a long-term vision. They knew that their underground wealth would be exhausted one day. Therefore... Waterless used half of their oil income to invest internationally. They had a world-class investment team and their financial income. It had already surpassed oil income, even if oil was depleted in the future. They could still continue to develop without worry.
Of course, oil exports were still very important. Besides, they had no other choice but to transport on the sea. Now, although they knew that Parthia had issued such a threat, they had to consider the income of their own country. They had to take the risk to continue transporting oil.
The Ebben-Els Hatham was like this, they are in the middle of the bay, sailing on tenterhooks, they can only secretly walk at night, but now, there was no other way. Their ship was too slow after all. They had already accelerated to the highest speed and could still see the white sky in the east.
The sun had come out, and it was dawn!
This was not a warship, and it could easily reach a high speed of 30 knots. This was a cargo ship, what the cargo ship valued the most was economic benefits. Under the speed of 30 knots, the fuel consumption was more than ten times that of 5 knots. They don't have that kind of demand.
Almost all of the diesel engines used in the turbines were low-speed diesel engines, even if they were accelerated to the highest speed. At most a dozen or so knots. Under normal circumstances... They were all five or six knots. There was no need to rush. It was just a slow dilly-dallying. When the crew went out to sea, they would go out for a few months or even half a year at a time. Time on the sea was the most boring, so the crew's work was not hard. But the salary was very high, mainly because it was boring.
But now, the dozen or so crew members on the cargo ship did not feel the boredom of sailing. They looked at the red sun rising on the eastern sea and felt uneasy. It was dawn!
However, they also had to pass through here during the day. Because below this place was the most complicated channel of the Straits. Even the most experienced navigator did not dare to lead the ship through at night. If one wasn't careful, they would touch the reefs.
"Ahead, left rudder three" The captain stood on the bridge, directing with full concentration. More than a dozen crew members were scattered all over the oil tanker, almost all of them doing the same thing. With a slightly uneasy look, looking at the land and sky in the north, that was the Parthia. They were now the closest to the Parthia. Even the warships and missiles of the Parthia were enough for them!
After all, the Parthia was a mad dog. There was nothing they could not do. If the Parthia said they wanted to attack the oil tanker without any scruples, they would be colliding with the muzzle of the gun!
Would the Anti-ship Missile fly over?
Parthia bought that kind of legendary C801 missile. However, this kind of missile was worth more than two hundred thousand. Parthia should be reluctant to part with it. This kind of missile should be used to deal with warships.
However, to deal with the oil mill, a light bomb was enough!
As if whatever he was afraid of would come, in the northern sky, a plane flew over!
