Chapter 2294: Building a house on the island of Malta
Taking the Maltese island lightly, the three armies opened their faces, and the Asans who made great contributions even more smiled.
Commander-in-chief Cheng Yu rewarded Asanmen at the price of 1,000 silver dollars per capita for senior officers, 200 silver dollars for ordinary officers, 80 silver dollars for non-commissioned officers, and 30 silver dollars for ordinary soldiers. Real money is not compromised at all.
The Assanmen who had received the silver dollars cheered. You must know that the Assanmen have a fate. In their hometown, how can they get so many silver dollars like in the South China Army!
Qianjinshima has received good results.
The other imperial cohorts were so jealous that they asked for the main attack!
This made the Chinese in the South China Army feel pressured, and also said that the next time they use us, they will fight better than Ah San.
The bosses are very pleased to see the scene where the subordinates are fighting for me, but they are sober-minded.
To sum up, it is the emperor's greatest contribution to building an army.
Just relying on Asan to hit the island of Malta is purely a food delivery.
Without the previous preparations, and without the cover of the South China Army, Ah San has gone and never returned.
Using a lot of equipment and ammunition, dumping them on Baipi's head, the poor white knight, unable to show their bravery, was knocked down by bullets, and bombs blew up.
Therefore, it is absolutely true that the glory belongs to the emperor.
In addition, the bosses also praised Ah San for his tenacious spirit. Although there is a strong firepower to suppress, the white knights are still very capable of fighting. If Sans do not persist, they will be defeated!
The bosses expressed their gratitude, especially the complete and clean occupation of the island.
The island of Malta is not large in size, but its strategic position is very important. When it becomes the land of the South China Empire, report to the imperial capital. On the new version of the map in the coming year, the land of the South China Empire will be part of the island of Malta.
The empire expands outward, but it is not raw food. For example, Sri Lanka has not annexed, and the colonies on the coastline of the third continent have not become territories. There are also such important sites as Egypt and Syria, which are not the land of the empire!
Sudan is the land of the empire, as is South Africa.
Constantinople (now known as Xiping), a city that has never fallen for a thousand years, is too important for its status, so it was added to the land of the South China Empire, as well as Greece, but the region of Asia Minor is still under attack, as well as the Arabian Peninsula!
Once a piece of land is annexed as a country, you must take responsibility for the local people, and you must not rashly kill.
It must be well transformed, and it is better to become the land occupied by the Chinese people as the dominant nation!
Such as the island of Malta. Except for the women who were put into the rooms of Chinese men, the other Maltese were exiled and sold boat by boat.
No more aboriginals, the island of Malta is China's territory since ancient times!
After capturing the island of Malta, the Chinese immediately carried out base construction, including ports, cities, and development industries.
Valletta Port is a good port. The Chinese mainly re-planned the berths and repaired the piers and warehouses to make them more reasonable.
Eight searchlight towers were repaired on the side of the landing and landing, as well as the lamps on the side of the pier, so that the pier has the function of night work!
As long as the weather permits, terminal operations can be started 24 hours a day, which undoubtedly greatly improves the port's throughput capacity.
This is necessary. The Chinese made a major change in Valletta Port in only ten days. Then, transport ships and merchant ships continued to call at the port, bringing countless materials into the warehouse.
Unloading goods day and night, including weapons, ammunition, grain, medicine, bedclothes, fuel, etc., is in large quantities. This is in preparation for the attack on Europe!
Needless to say, more than 50,000 kerosene bombs have been shipped, and they are still increasing.
The rest of the materials are also huge, such as coal transported from Egypt, so much that they pile up into mountains!
The number of stacked cigarettes is so great that you can smell them in the open sea.
The original warehouse is insufficient, and new warehouses are being built continuously.
They used the stones on the island to quickly build emergency warehouses one after another, and put supplies in.
There are three treasures in Northeast China: ginseng, velvet antler and Ulagrass; the island of Malta in Europe also has three treasures, namely sunshine, sea water and stones.
The sunshine and sea water of the Mediterranean Sea are well-known, but what is the most common stone to be able to compete with the sun and sea water?
It turns out that the stone here is very different, it is a very special kind of limestone. This kind of limestone is grayish white or creamy yellow. When it is mined, it is as soft as tofu. It can be carved with deep scratches with nails. It can be cut into pieces at will, even with the most common woodworking plane. A piece of new limestone is planed into a smooth column or straight square lumber.
But here is the most bizarre thing: this kind of "tofu stone" only needs to be dried in the sun for a short period of time, it will become extremely hard, let alone scribing and cutting, even if you use a sledgehammer to smash it, it is difficult to smash open. Some people say that the "tofu stone" in Malta has too much water, so it is very soft. When it is mined, the water will evaporate and it will naturally become hard.
In fact, the reason why the "tofu stone" changes from soft to hard is very simple. Just like we usually use lime mortar to plaster walls, the wall will become hard and smooth after drying. The calcium hydroxide content in Maltese limestone is extremely high. The characteristic of this ingredient is very soft, but when it encounters carbon dioxide in the air, it will quickly produce a chemical reaction to produce extremely hard calcium carbonate. Because of this, "tofu" will be sublimated into indestructible soon after being mined. Rock.
Is this peculiar stone very rare and rare? No, other mineral deposits in Malta are very scarce, but the "tofu stones" are almost inexhaustible. According to the survey, 62% of the country's territory is made of this kind of limestone. Do you think it is rich?
Because of this, almost all the buildings in this island country before, from the magnificent castles, the majestic monuments, to the most common houses in the ordinary lanes and streets, are all made from local materials and used this kind of peculiar stone-anyway. Stones are easy to obtain and easy to process, saving money and labor to import building materials from foreign countries.
Therefore, in every city on the island, there are all creamy limestone buildings. Under the bright sunshine, the view from the blue Mediterranean Sea is magnificent.
The characteristics of limestone that is soft and hard, and easy to process, brought great convenience to the ancient Maltese ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As early as around 3600 BC, very decent stone buildings had been built here; more than 2300 BC , And built the famous Jeguntia Temple and Hagelkim Temple. Among them, Jeguntia Temple is the oldest temple building in the world. At the same time, most peoples in the world still live in thatched huts. The Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty of our Chinese, will have to wait for almost two centuries to be established.
Now that the Chinese have come, they have dug a lot of stones to build houses, and they have sprung up like bamboo shoots to build rows of warehouses and various types of houses.
Some people may say that such a house is good, but what should I do if it rains?
It's simple, just put a tarp on the outside or put a layer of cement waterproof on the outside, it's OK!
The accumulation of materials is a very important step to attack Europe. The geographical location of the island of Malta is very important. It is located in the central part of the Mediterranean, known as the "heart of the Mediterranean". The forward bases of France and Spain have become a springboard for offensive and have played an extremely positive role in shortening our army's logistics line!
