Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1875 1876 Three people in three ports

The brand-new asphalt road reflected the sun and stretched into the distance. Dozens of military trucks painted in three-color camouflage were like steel behemoths, whizzing past along this newly paved road, kicking up a cloud of dust. The wheels rolled over the road, making a dull roar, breaking the tranquility of the rural afternoon.

The villages in the northern part of the Eastern Continent were once devastated by war, but now they are a peaceful scene. There is no sign of gunpowder smoke or the pungent smell of gunpowder. The air is filled with the fragrance of earth, mixed with the fragrance of wheat from the distant fields.

The Tang army did not fall into annoying security battles as expected, nor did they encounter countless resisters. Everything seemed calm and orderly. The sounds of guns and cries have now been replaced by laughter.

In the fields, farmers work hard and sow the seeds of hope; in the villages, children chase and play with innocent smiles on their faces. Everyone is living hard because the sunshine of hope has filled this vicissitudes of land.

The arrival of the Tang Empire not only brought the end of the war, but also brought liberation and rebirth, providing all poor working people with the possibility of living a better life. In the city, a large number of factories and enterprises have sprung up, providing countless jobs and making the common people in the city busy and fulfilling. They leave early and return late, contributing their own strength to building a new home. In the villages, the once barren land has regained its vitality. Farmers are working hard in the fields, looking forward to the joy of a good harvest in the coming year. They don't have any leisure time, because they know that only through hard work can they create a better future.

Those who got letters from their families in prisoner-of-war camps were full of hope for a new life. They clutched the letters in their hands tightly, as if they were holding onto the future, and their eyes shone with hope. They use the calmest mentality to wait for the safe return of their children or husbands from far away, and look forward to the happy moment of family reunion.

The convoy of military vehicles kicked up dust and gradually moved away, disappearing at the end of the horizon. The civilians who gave way on both sides of the road stepped back onto the roadbed that had been crushed by wheels and walked towards their fields. The sun shines on them, reflecting their simple figures and illuminating this land that has been baptized by war.

On the edge of the field, you can occasionally see traces of the war - a rusty heavy artillery, lying there quietly, with the barrel pointing to the sky, as if it is still telling the story of the glorious past. Not far away, the remains of an abandoned tank were half buried in the soil and half exposed to the sun. The erosion of time made it mottled, like a sleeping steel behemoth.

Once a symbol of death and destruction, these war machines have become part of the landscape, blending quietly into their surroundings. The children played around the wreckage of the tank without any fear, as if it was just a pile of ordinary scrap metal. The farmers were working in the fields, and their eyes swept over the heavy cannon without a trace of ripples, 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 transport weapons and ammunition, and they no longer send additional soldiers. The once frequent military mobilization has stopped. Troop carriers have become transport vehicles, and military trains have become cargo trains. The military vehicles that come and go no longer carry military supplies, but are full of equipment and parts needed to resume production, running between cities and villages.

Military vehicles, like hard-working worker bees, sow the seeds of hope to every corner of this land. In the fields, the roar of machines replaced the sound of guns, and in the factories, the trumpets of workers replaced the shouts of soldiers. The land is rejuvenating, the sunshine of peace is shining on the earth, and people's lives are full of hope.

After reconstruction, Yongdong Harbor has a brand new look and is full of vitality. The towering crane stands like a steel giant at the dock, waving its huge mechanical arm to lift heavy containers from the freighter and place them firmly on the waiting trucks. A group of dwarf longshoremen, wearing hard hats and reflective vests, shuttle between busy docks. They no longer carry goods on their backs as they did in the past, but operate various modern loading and unloading equipment and direct the flow of goods in an orderly manner.

Occasionally, there will be some special goods that require their own hands-on handling. For example, those brand new cars unloaded from the transport ship. These cars were carefully fixed on special supports, and experienced dwarf workers operated mechanical equipment to slowly transport them out of the cabin.

These cars shine with metallic luster and streamlined body designs, all demonstrating the advanced manufacturing technology of the Tang Empire. They come in different colors, as brilliant as a rainbow, shining in the sunlight. These cars are not local products of the Eastern Continent, but come from the distant Western Continent. They are "people's cars" continuously produced by the Tang Empire.

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

"Mr. Leibert, congratulations! This batch of cars can bring you at least 5 million gold coins in profit, right?" A customs official from the Tang Empire handed the statistical report to Leibert who was standing at the door of the warehouse. Special, his tone was full of envy.

Leibot is now an elf businessman with a title from the Tang Empire, but his title is much lower than before. So he also prefers others to call him Mr. Leibert instead of Sir Leibert. With a smile on his face, he looked at the hundreds of cars neatly lined up in front of him, and his heart was filled with joy and pride. He was once a successful businessman in the Yangmu Empire, but since the arrival of the Tang Empire, his career has obviously reached a higher level.

"No, I'm just a small businessman." Leibot replied 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 5 million gold coins, and even exceeded 10 million.

Although these cars were just ordinary civilian cars in the Tang Empire, they were very rare consumer goods in the Elf region. With affordable prices and great quality, these cars will sell out in no time. Leibot took a fancy to this business opportunity and sold these cars to the Elf region at relatively low prices, earning huge profits from them.

"You are so humble, Mr. Leibert. Your business is really big!" The customs official said with a smile: "You must be prepared for the customs duty of one million gold coins."

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

he said with a smile. Although the tariff of 1 million gold coins made him feel a little pain, it was nothing compared to the huge profits he was about to obtain.

Probably the most successful investment in his life was when he sent his son John to Datang Group. Now that the unsatisfactory son has become a high-ranking and powerful figure in the Tang Empire, he naturally has many conveniences as a father.

If it weren't for his son 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 get the People's Automobile sales agent qualification so easily... In short, he was very proud of who he was back then. Decide.

This world is a huge market, bustling with people and filled with all kinds of transactions. Some people are buying low and selling people's cars at high prices, while others are conducting large transactions such as airplanes... This is how the world works.

The airline invested by Duke Egret made a large-scale purchase of 150 advanced jet airliners at one time. These giant steel birds will soar in the skies of the Eastern Continent, injecting new vitality into the Eastern Continent aviation industry of the Datang Empire. This transaction was huge and of extraordinary significance. Even for the Tang Empire, which had strong financial resources, it was an investment that should not be underestimated. Because of this, Duke Egret must personally attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the airline held in the Eastern Continent. This was of great significance to him, not only as a business success, but also as the first time he set foot on his homeland after leaving the Eastern Continent.

He chose Rewind Port as his landing point. Compared with Yongdong Port, the climate of Refeng Port is more pleasant, and the warm sea breeze blows on the face, making people feel relaxed and happy. Although the modernization of Rewind Port has not yet been completed and the port facilities are slightly messy, the comfortable climate more than makes up for these shortcomings.

The reason why Leibert's car did not choose to land at Rewind Port was because the port's handling capacity had reached saturation and could not accommodate such a large amount of cargo. Therefore, Leibert could only choose other ports, even if the journey was further, there was nothing he could do.

"I hope you can speed up the progress!" Duke Egret said to his men who came to greet him in the VIP channel just after landing, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone: "You know, His Majesty is likely to be crowned next month. There is nothing more important than this moment that I can’t miss!”

He gave his men a limited time of three days. After three days, he will return on his own private cruise ship.

Yes, it’s a cruise ship, not a yacht. As one of the richest men in the world, Duke Egret's vision is far beyond that of ordinary people. Those small yachts with a displacement of several hundred tons cannot catch his eye at all. His private cruise ship has a displacement of more than 4,000 tons, and its interior decoration is extremely luxurious. It can be called a palace on the sea.

After all, when His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire went on patrol at sea, he would ride on such a behemoth as an aircraft carrier or the command ship Marshal Bernard. In comparison, Duke Egret's private cruise ship is not an act of transgression. Therefore, he did not hesitate to build his cruise ship into the most luxurious palace on the sea.

"Your Excellency, we know that your time is very valuable. Everything is ready and the ribbon-cutting ceremony can be held tomorrow." The general manager of the airline said with a smile on his face and a "please" gesture respectfully. Followed step by step behind Duke Egret.

Facing the godfather of world football, the owner of the famous Egret team, a ruthless character who once swept His Majesty the Emperor's Royal team with a score of 4:0, how could he not be respectful? This courage alone is enough to be admired.

"Very good!" Duke Egret nodded and did not say a word to the other party.

The dock of Bunas Port is also a chaotic scene, with various goods piled up, people noisy, and the air is filled with the salty smell of sea water and a faint fishy smell.

Against the backdrop of this hustle and bustle, a man calmly walked down the gangway. He was wearing a simple black windbreaker and had a tall and straight figure, giving people a calm and reserved feeling. He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, as if checking the time. His profound gaze swept across the dock, as if he could see everything.

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

On the pier, several men in black uniforms had been waiting for a long time. When they saw him walking down the gangway, they immediately stepped forward and stood at attention respectfully and saluted. This tall man is the important person they are going to meet on this trip: the bartender. He was always called the bartender, and it seemed that he was always just a bartender at the Silver Fox Tavern.

He nodded slightly in response to their salute, then walked among a few 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, glanced at everyone, and his tone became more serious: "Your Majesty does not allow the existence of any black crows and similar drugs. All private manufacture, sale, and use of such drugs are illegal."

This kind of thing has always been strictly controlled on the Western Continent, but it is rampant in the Eastern Continent. Sophia intentionally pushed here, leaving a mess of abuse of the Crows. The bartender was sent here this time to completely rectify the black crow problem.

"My subordinates understand." Several people responded in unison, their voices full of awe.

"Very good." The bartender nodded with satisfaction.

Several people helped the bartender open the car door quickly and orderly, with clean and well-trained movements.

The bartender bent down and got into the car, and the black car started slowly and drove towards the city. The remaining people also returned to the cars on both sides. These cars with government license plates, like black ghosts, quietly left the pier.

Those who use black crows themselves, those who give the green light to the sale of black crows, and those who make money from it still don't know that their good days are over.
