Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1875 1876 Three People in Three Ports
The brand new asphalt road reflected the sunlight, winding into the distance. Dozens of military trucks painted in tricolor camouflage roared along the newly paved road like steel behemoths, stirring up a cloud of dust. The wheels rolled over the road, making a dull roar, breaking the tranquility of the afternoon in the countryside.

The villages in the north of the East Continent, once devastated by war, are now peaceful, with no traces of gunpowder or the pungent smell of gunpowder. The air is filled with the fragrance of soil, mixed with the aroma of wheat from the fields in the distance.

The Tang army did not get into a tedious security battle as expected, nor did they encounter countless rebels. Everything seemed calm and orderly. The sounds of gunfire and crying were now replaced by laughter.

In the fields, farmers work hard, sowing the seeds of hope; in the villages, children chase and play, with innocent smiles on their faces. Everyone is working hard to live, because the sunshine of hope has spread over this vicissitudes of life.

The arrival of the Tang Empire not only brought the end of the war, but also brought liberation and rebirth, providing all the poor working people with the possibility of living a better life. In the city, a large number of factories and enterprises sprang up, providing countless jobs, making the civilians in the city busy and fulfilled. They went out early and returned late, contributing their own strength to the construction of a new home. In the village, the once barren land has regained its vitality, and the farmers are working hard in the fields, looking forward to the joy of a good harvest next year. They don't have a single bit of leisure time, because they know that only hard work can create a better future.

Those who received letters from their families in the prisoner-of-war camps were full of hope for a new life. They held the letters tightly in their hands, as if they were holding the future, with hope in their eyes. They waited for their children or husbands to return safely from afar with the most peaceful attitude, looking forward to the happy moment of family reunion.

The military convoy raised dust and gradually went away, disappearing at the end of the horizon. The civilians on both sides of the road stepped back onto the roadbed that had been crushed by the wheels and walked towards their respective fields. The sun shone on them, reflecting their simple figures and illuminating this land that had been baptized by war.

Occasionally, traces of war can be seen on the edge of the field - a rusty heavy artillery, lying quietly, with the barrel pointing to the sky, as if still telling of the past. Not far away, the remains of an abandoned tank, half buried in the soil and half exposed to the sun, has become mottled due to the erosion of time, like a sleeping steel behemoth.

Once, these war machines symbolized death and destruction, but now, they have become part of the land, quietly blending into the surrounding environment. Children played around the wreckage of the tanks without any fear, as if it was just a pile of ordinary scrap metal. Farmers worked in the fields, looking at the heavy artillery without a ripple, as if it was just an ordinary stone. The haze of war has dissipated, and fear has long been replaced by hope.

The Tang army's military vehicles no longer transported weapons and ammunition, nor did they send additional soldiers. The once frequent military movements had ceased. Troop carriers became transport vehicles, military trains became freight trains, and the military vehicles that came and went no longer transported military supplies, but were loaded with equipment and parts needed to resume production, running between cities and villages.

Military vehicles, like hardworking bees, spread the seeds of hope to every corner of this land. In the fields, the roar of machines replaced the sound of gunfire, and in the factories, the workers' calls replaced the soldiers' shouts. This land is regaining vitality, the sunshine of peace is shining on the earth, and people's lives are full of hope.

After the reconstruction, Yongdong Port looks brand new and full of vitality. The towering crane stands at the dock like a steel giant, waving its huge mechanical arm to lift heavy containers from the cargo ship and place them steadily on the trucks waiting on the side. A group of dwarf dock workers, wearing safety helmets and reflective vests, shuttle between the busy docks. They no longer carry goods on their shoulders and backs as in the past, but operate various modern loading and unloading equipment to direct the flow of goods in an orderly manner.

Occasionally, there would be some special cargo that they needed to handle personally, such as brand new cars unloaded from transport ships. These cars were carefully fixed on special brackets, and experienced dwarf workers operated mechanical equipment to slowly transport them out of the cabin.

These cars, shining with metallic luster and streamlined body design, all demonstrate the advanced manufacturing technology of the Tang Empire. They are of different colors, as gorgeous as a rainbow, shining brightly in the sun. These cars are not local products of the East Continent, but come from the distant West Continent. They are the "people's cars" produced continuously by the Tang Empire.

The production machines of the Tang Empire seemed to never stop for a second. Before the war had completely stopped, countless cars had been shipped to the East Continent for sale.

"Congratulations, Mr. Leiber! This batch of cars can at least bring you a profit of 500 million gold coins, right?" A customs official from the Tang Empire handed the statistical report to Leiber standing at the door of the warehouse, his tone full of envy.

Lei Bot is now an elf merchant with a title of the Tang Empire, but the title is much lower than before. So he also prefers to be called Mr. Lei Bot, rather than Sir Lei Bot. He smiled and looked at the hundreds of cars lined up in front of him, his heart full of joy and pride. He was also a successful businessman in the Yangmu Empire, but since the arrival of the Tang Empire, his career has obviously reached a higher level.

"No, no, I'm just a small businessman." Lei Bot answered modestly, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes. He knew that the actual value of this batch of cars was far more than 500 million gold coins, even more than 1000 million.

Although these cars are just ordinary civilian cars in the Tang Empire, they are very rare consumer goods in the Elf Region. With affordable prices and excellent quality, these cars will be sold out soon. Lei Bot saw this business opportunity and sold these cars to the Elf Region at a relatively low price, making huge profits from it.

"You are too modest, Mr. Leibert. Your business is really big!" The customs official said with a smile: "You must be prepared to pay the tariff of 100 million gold coins."

Leibert signed the customs declaration document readily and handed the report back to the customs official: "I can still afford this small amount of money."

He said with a smile. Although the 100 million gold coins tariff made him feel a little painful, it was nothing compared to the huge profits he was about to make.

The most successful investment in his life was probably sending his son John to the Datang Group. Now that unpromising son has become a powerful figure in the Datang Empire, and he, as a father, naturally has many conveniences.

If his son wasn't named John, he wouldn't have been able to get these cars to the Western Continent so easily, and he wouldn't have been able to obtain the People's Auto sales agency qualification so easily... In short, he was very proud of his decision back then.

The world is a huge market, bustling with people and filled with all kinds of transactions. Some people buy cars at low prices and sell them at high prices, while others are doing large transactions such as airplanes... This is how the world works.

The airline invested by Duke Bai Lu purchased 150 advanced jet airliners at one time. These giant steel birds will soar in the sky of the East Continent, injecting new vitality into the aviation industry of the East Continent of the Tang Empire. This transaction is huge in amount and of great significance. Even for the financially strong Tang Empire, it is an investment that cannot be underestimated. For this reason, Duke Bai Lu must personally attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the airline held in the East Continent. This is of great significance to him. It is not only a business success, but also the first time he has set foot on his homeland since leaving the East Continent.

He chose Hot Wind Port as the landing point. Compared with Everwinter Port, the climate of Hot Wind Port is more pleasant, and the warm sea breeze makes people feel relaxed and happy. Although the modernization of Hot Wind Port has not been completed and the port facilities are a bit messy, the comfortable climate is enough to make up for these shortcomings.

The reason why Lei Bote's car did not choose to land at Hot Wind Port was because the port's throughput capacity had reached saturation and could not accommodate such a large amount of cargo. Therefore, Lei Bote had no choice but to choose other ports, even if the journey was longer.

"I hope you can speed up the process!" Duke Egret said to his men who came to greet him in the VIP channel just after landing, with a tone of unquestionable majesty: "You know, His Majesty is likely to hold a coronation ceremony next month, and I absolutely cannot miss this important moment. Nothing is more important than this!"

He gave his men three days, after which he would return on his own private cruise ship.

That's right, it's a cruise ship, not a yacht. As one of the richest men in the world, the vision of the Duke of Egret is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Those small yachts with a displacement of several hundred tons are not in his eyes at all. His private cruise ship has a displacement of more than 4000 tons, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, which can be called a palace on the sea.

After all, when the Emperor of the Tang Empire went on a sea tour, he would take a huge ship like an aircraft carrier or the command ship of Marshal Bernard. Compared with this, the private cruise ship of the Duke of Egret was not an act of usurpation. Therefore, he spared no effort to turn his cruise ship into the most luxurious palace on the sea.

"Your Excellency the Duke, we know that your time is very valuable. Everything here is ready, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony can be held tomorrow." The general manager of the airline smiled widely, made a "please" gesture respectfully, and followed closely behind the Duke of Egret.

Facing the godfather of world football, the owner of the famous Egret team, who once swept the Emperor's Royal Team with a score of 4:0, how could he not be respectful? Just based on this courage, it is enough to make people admire it.

"Very good!" Duke Egret nodded and said nothing more to the other party.

The dock of Bunas Port was also a scene of chaos, with all kinds of goods piled up like mountains, noisy voices, and the air filled with the salty smell of sea water and a faint fishy smell.

In this noisy background, a man walked down the gangway calmly. He was wearing a simple black windbreaker, tall and straight, giving people a calm and restrained feeling. He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, as if to check the time. His deep eyes swept across the dock, as if he could see through everything.

For the vast and populous Tang Empire, he might be just an insignificant existence, like a drop in the ocean, inconspicuous. However, for some people in the East Continent, his arrival is like the calm before the storm, foreshadowing some ominous sign.

At the dock, several men in black uniforms had been waiting for a long time. When they saw him walk down the gangway, they immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully. This tall man was the important person they were going to meet: the bartender. He was always called the bartender, and it seemed that he had always been just a bartender at the Silver Fox Tavern.

He nodded slightly in response to their salute, then walked between the people and handed the suitcase in his hand to one of them.

"Thank you for your hard work." His tone was calm, but with unquestionable majesty: "Since I'm here, it means that the work has begun."

He paused, looked around at everyone, and said in a more serious tone, "Your Majesty does not allow the existence of any Black Crow or similar drugs. Any private manufacture, sale, or use of such drugs is illegal."

This kind of thing has always been strictly controlled in the Western Continent, but it is rampant in the Eastern Continent. Sophia deliberately promoted it here, leaving behind a mess of abuse of black crows. The bartender was sent here this time to thoroughly rectify the black crow problem.

"I understand," several people responded in unison, their tone filled with awe.

"Very good." The bartender nodded with satisfaction.

Several people quickly and orderly helped the bartender open the car door. Their movements were neat and well-trained.

The bartender bent down and got into the car. The black car started slowly and drove towards the city. The others also returned to the cars on both sides. These cars with government license plates left the dock silently like black ghosts.

Those who use black crow themselves, those who give the green light to the sale of black crow, and those who make a fortune from it do not know that their good days are over.
