Chapter two hundred and forty nine

This is a super fleet of more than a dozen large ships. Each ship has a large displacement of seven to eight thousand tons, and a small one is three to four thousand tons. These transport ships are all flying the American star-striped flags and are slowly sailing towards the dock.

The working people watched the fleet approaching curiously, while some soldiers prepared on the dock to welcome the arrival of these ships.

A commoner with a wide range of knowledge could not help but shout loudly when he saw these ships: "This is an American ship!"

This is the transport fleet of "Pangu" company. The ship is full of grain, with a total of 50,000 tons of grain, most of which are wheat, and some are corn and soybeans.

The United States is a major grain-producing country with sufficient food in China. It has many large farms, not only grain, but also rich agricultural products. China is a country with a large population, and 400 million Chinese people need a lot of food. China is not a major grain country. In addition to the current war, most people cannot eat enough.

Even though the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are relatively rich, many ordinary people are unable to eat. Ye Feng ordered Max to purchase a batch of grain in the United States and transport it to Ningbo Port by sea. This fleet transported the first batch of grain to Ningbo Port. Later, there will be a second batch and a third batch...

These dozen transport ships loaded with food slowly approached the dock and stopped and anchored beside the dock. After the ships stopped, they lowered the gangway and walked out from above a blonde American, handed over to a major general of the 6th Army on the dock.

Ye Feng received a telegram from Max a few days ago, knowing that the fleet would reach here today. Ye Feng had already prepared. Teams of soldiers began to board the ship and unload the cargo with neat steps.

Bags of food were carried down by the soldiers and neatly stacked on the huge dock. Not long after, a long convoy of vehicles came, a convoy of dozens of large trucks.

After the convoy arrived, bags of grain were carried by the soldiers onto trucks. The 50,000 tons of grain were too much, and dozens of trucks could not transport a fraction of it. Most of the grain could only be placed on the dock for the time being.

The Ningbo Port Terminal has a length of more than one thousand meters, two or three hundred meters wide, and can pile a lot of things. Even if a large amount of cement and sand are piled up now, there is still enough place to pile this grain.

"What's that!"

A younger ordinary man, while working, looked at the steamships not far away from time to time and asked curiously.

There happened to be a soldier next to him. The soldier said proudly: "It's all food. The food transported from the United States."

It was all about food, and so many large ships were transported, how much did this be? The young man felt that his head was a little too hard to turn.

Even if there were one or two thousand soldiers, and the help of the common people, they had been unloading for several days before they were all moved off the ship. Bags of grain were stacked neatly, ten meters wide, one hundred meters long and two meters high. There were several piles of such a pile in total, and these grains were not too late to transport. There were so many grains, with a total of 50,000 tons, and if transported by large trucks, it would take at least a period of time.

A few days later, another American fleet arrived at Ningbo Port, a fleet of several large oil tankers transporting a large amount of oil.

A few kilometers away from Ningbo Port. A huge crude oil reserve base has just been built, and many places have not even been dried out. So much crude oil has been transported to this base.

This is just the first of the crude oil reserve bases planned by Yefeng, several huge circular cement pools. Each huge cement pool stores 10,000 tons of crude oil, a cement pipeline with a diameter of about one meter, from this crude oil reserve base to Ningbo Port.

After these large oil tankers docked at Ningbo Port, thick oil pipes pumped black crude oil from cruise ships, and the flowing crude oil flowed into this one-meter-diameter cement pipeline, and finally flowed into the crude oil reserve base several kilometers away from here.

Not far from here, a large number of ordinary people are also working on a huge open space in the suburbs. In addition to two or three thousand ordinary people who participated in the work, there are also thousands of soldiers.

Everyone is setting up oil refineries, and the oil transported from overseas will be refined into various fuels here. In the near future, a large amount of fuel will be provided to the troops for use, and a part of the fuel will be sold to some rich people and rich people with cars to earn funds for the newly formed 6th Army.

Cruise ships unload tens of thousands of tons of crude oil in Ningbo Port. In the Middle East, another large fleet of ships flying the American flag is leaving the port, and the target is also Ningbo Port.

In Australia, several large cargo ships are also here. These large cargo ships are also flying the American flag, loaded with various ores, leaving the port and heading towards Ningbo Port.

In Indonesia, there are also several ships loading rubber, rice and other supplies. In a few days, these ships will also leave, and the target is Ningbo Port.

...

"Pangu" company either rents ships or buys ships by itself to form an ocean fleet. From all over the world, in accordance with Ye Feng's requirements, a large amount of materials, such as grain, oil, ore, rubber, cotton, linen, wool, etc., are transported to Ningbo in large quantities.

The "Pangu" company, which has been established for only two or three years, has now developed into a first-class company in the United States. Max Superman's business talent has been fully utilized.

In order to develop the "Pangu" company into a top large company in the United States, when the first fleet arrived at Ningbo Port, Ye Feng transported 100 tons of gold back to the United States through this fleet as the development fund for the "Pangu" company.

The current price of gold is about 1.5 million US dollars per ton of gold, and 100 tons of gold is 150 million US dollars. The US dollar in this era is very valuable and has strong purchasing power. At present, an American tank costs less than 10,000 US dollars, and a "air fortress" bomber is only tens of thousands US dollars.

In later generations, there is information to check. In 1939, the total national income of the United States was about US$90.5 billion and military expenditure was about US$1.2 billion.

Ye Feng believes that with Max's outstanding business talent, this 50 million US dollars will become 300 million US dollars, 500 million US dollars, and even more.

By the end of April, all kinds of materials were continuously transported to Ningbo Port by sea. In the huge Ningbo Port, all kinds of things were piled up like mountains, and a large number of large trucks frequently entered and exited Ningbo Port and transported these things to various cities.

In just over a month, the newly formed 6th Army built a large number of warehouses, and a large amount of materials were temporarily stockpiled in these warehouses.

There are even some materials that are piled up directly on the open air, and the warehouse is really unable to be put down. For example, a large amount of iron ore is piled up in the suburbs of Ningbo, next to the construction site of a large steel plant under construction.

Tens of thousands of tons of iron ore are piled up into a hill, and the construction site is even more lively. A large number of ordinary people and soldiers are working day and night to build this large steel plant.

After more than a month and with the joint efforts of thousands of people, this large steel factory with an annual production of 300,000 tons of high-quality steel has been basically completed and tall chimneys have stood up.

Within the factory area, spacious roads have been built and a large number of equipment are being installed. Among the construction of major factories, Ningbo Steel Plant and Ningbo Oil Refinery are progressing the fastest, and the number of people constructed is also the largest.

In the northwest suburbs of Hangzhou City, a huge industrial park has begun to take shape. This large industrial park covering an area of ​​more than 2,000 acres has been leveled, spacious roads have been built, and several large factories are under construction.

There is more than one industrial park in Hangzhou. In Xiaoshan area, an industrial park of the same size is under construction on a large scale and has begun to take shape.

In Shaoxing, there is also an industrial park with more than 1,000 acres under construction. After this large industrial park is completed, a large number of factories of various types will also be settled here and built here.

On the road from Hangzhou to Ningbo, the original road is being widened. This road will be built into a six-lane cement road. In each section, a large number of ordinary people and soldiers will be constructed. The entire road will be involved in the construction of more than 100,000 labor force.

This is a major project. In order to ensure that this highway is completed as soon as possible, the entire highway is divided into many sections and construction starts at the same time. Each section can have at least hundreds, thousands, or even thousands.

A large amount of cement, sand, and stone are continuously transported here, and the entire road looks like a day.

After the first annual plan for the construction of the newly-edition 6th Army was issued, the entire jurisdiction became a huge construction site, with hundreds of thousands of ordinary people participating, and some remote rural laborers rushed over and joined the rushing construction.

In the Battle of Hangzhou Ning, so many Japanese devils were eliminated, and even the USS Kaga aircraft carrier, the USS Fusang battleship, and the merit value in the "Nuwa" system increased sharply, exceeding one million in one fell swoop.

In order to ensure that the construction and work hard at a fast speed, Ye Feng exchanged hundreds of professional and technical talents and management talents from the "Nuwa" system, and exchanged a large number of steel and cement and various industrial equipment.

After one exchange of millions of merit points, there are still more than 600,000. However, Ye Feng did not move these 600,000 merit points, but was planning to be used for the construction of the troops.
