Chapter 3600: Slum

This is not only the case in Tumer Town, but also in Dige Town on the other side. Their soldiers generally lack military pay. They use this as a reason to refuse to advance further. In their opinion, such a thing is unacceptable. After all, they are not the regular army, or the regular army still finds it difficult to do such a thing in the absence of effective military pay.

South Korea, Xinzheng.

"They waste time and waste time. We don't care about these now." Han Shu said after reading the telegram from Seth. She can no longer manage such things. Because the governors of these independent provinces do not care about such things in this way, then South Korea does not care about such things. In fact, they can't do more results and reasons like this.

"At present, the most important thing is naval negotiations. We must strive for greater benefits to Jeju Island. After all, we have won a greater victory. But what we want to see is that the Goguryeo Navy still has a certain degree of strength. In the future, they will still pose a certain threat to us. After all, we have not completely eliminated them." Han Shu said.

"Yes. Lord." The Secretary of the Navy nodded. At present, South Korea’s attention is still on Jeju, which is very important to them. If there is nothing important, they will not do it. This is what they need to do.

As for Seth, they can't take care of it for the time being. In this case, it gives the other party some opportunities to operate, because South Korea believes that they have blocked the source of weapons of Seth, and their role will be very limited. This is an extremely advantageous point for them. Now all they have to do is wait, wait patiently, and that's it.

Qi Guo, in the prime minister's office.

"Zhao Guoren's idea is to improve the overall technical capabilities of the Goguryeo Navy. Although our diplomatic effort is to keep a naval fleet for them, the size of their fleet will not be able to maintain a larger scale. This is for them. It was a disaster." The Secretary of the Navy said.

"And Zhao Guoren's method is to improve the overall technical capabilities. In this naval battle, the Koreans used a variety of technical arms, such as submarines, torpedo boats, etc., and we can also spend a certain proportion of them to develop these partial doors. Naval forces. This is not very technically difficult for us, but it can effectively block the range of activities of the Jeju Navy, which can be estimated for a long time in the future. They will develop maritime trade, and we can pass Such technical arms achieve the purpose of blockade, after all, they are just an island." The Secretary of the Navy reported.

"So, what happened to their large battleship?" Lou Jing asked.

"Of course this will develop, but the number is unlikely to be too many. In the case of the Koguryo Navy, they do not want to give up surface ships. However, we can improve the combat effectiveness of surface ships, especially the combat effectiveness of a single warship. In this case, Their situation will be greatly improved." The Secretary of the Navy said. Lou Jing nodded.

In the future naval agreement, Koguryo had to make huge concessions. Their naval strength will be much lower than that of the Jeju Navy. Goguryeo may only be able to build a naval fleet of no more than 220,000 tons. It was the people of Qi and Zhao who kept fighting for it. They even threatened that if they did not agree to such a request, they could carry out further operations, but at the cost of this, they made huge concessions in the Jeju navy. The Jeju Navy will receive a warship plan of more than 500,000 tons. This means that the Jeju navy will have more than twice as many naval warships as the opponent, and the advantage is extremely obvious.

Jeju is just a small country that has not been established for a long time, while Goguryeo is much larger than Jeju, but in terms of navy, they have to lag behind each other. Who made them lose this naval battle, this is also no way. Negotiations rely on strength to speak, although the final agreement has not yet been signed. But this result has basically been established.

Suez city. The Koreans built several small shipyards here, and they produced flat-bottomed merchant ships powered by steam engines because they could pass through the dredged Suez Canal.

Inside a small shipyard jointly invested by Koreans.

"Although the Suez Canal has not been officially opened, there are basically many places that can be used. The steam engine small punt we produce is the most suitable for sailing on this canal." The director of the shipyard told a shareholder Explained. After all, they are still a little worried about investing such a sum of money here. They feel that this canal does not know if it can help them make a lot of money.

"Yes. Can you explain it specifically?" the shareholder asked puzzledly. After all, he didn't know how much money such boats could make. These flat-bottomed boats were all small boats, and the largest was only 900 tons. Most of them are small boats of 500 tons. The cargo they carry is very limited, but they are enough to seize a considerable part of the market. Such a steam flat-bottomed ship can carry hundreds of tons of cargo. Of course, this situation often occurs under the premise of overloading. In order to seek greater benefits, many ships are overloaded and dry. If they don’t, they won’t make a lot of money. Although there are risks, there are risks that have greater benefits. From the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, then into the Nile. You can reach Cairo, the capital of Aiji. Or directly to the Port of Pressure Mountain. Among those who unload a large amount of goods, goods from Korea sell very well. In particular, the demand for munitions is extremely strong, because there is a major military revolution, swords, and when they encounter musket weapons, they will encounter unprecedented crushing. It is precisely this advantage that their demand for arms has become extremely vigorous. Without such demand, there would be no more killings.

"Yes, the Suez Canal has only been dredged initially. Merchant ships of more than 1,000 tons can pass in front of them. However, the capacity is still relatively poor. We cannot guarantee that they can pass there quickly. After all, some places will be stranded. , Time-consuming, manpower will be very large. However, this kind of flat-bottomed boats can achieve this goal. The previous flat-bottomed boats have a very low speed and cannot carry more cargo, but now they can carry more cargo. For more cargo, the speed of using steam engines will be very fast. They can reach speeds of more than 12 knots and carry more than hundreds of tons of cargo. However, fuel is a problem at present because there are few coal resources here. We need to Indy is carrying more coal here. We are considering whether to let them burn other things, such as heavy oil. With the support of such a lot of fuel, I think all problems will be solved. And here The businessmen in China are very clear that the demand in the north will be very large. They are unwilling to give up this opportunity to make a fortune, so they will buy our merchant ships. After all, speed is a big advantage." Speaking of. The shareholders also nodded. The successful dredging of the Suez Canal means the opening of a commercial channel. In the north, a vague concept will be concreted. A large number of commodities will be transferred there, and they will get more trade opportunities. The development of this kind of trade is very beneficial to South Korea because of the large number of commodities. You can dump there to go.

Bangla. Korean colonial rule has been established here. With the further promotion of the steam engine, a large number of various factories have moved here. In order to better obtain the supplement of local human resources. Some Korean businessmen began to cooperate with local businessmen, or adopted some other methods to achieve the purpose of building factories, such as extortion, blackmail, or coercion and so on. In short. A large number of factories were established in Mengla.

The public facilities in Bangla City have been greatly improved. There are asphalt roads here, five-story commercial buildings are built here, and there are more office buildings, because more factories need office space, and commercial trade The development here is very fast.

A large number of factories gathered in the north of the city. Because there are sufficient water resources there, although it will pollute the drinking water in the city, it is acceptable to bring some profits. In the middle of the city is a commercial area, an office area, and further south is a residential area for the rich, where there are parks. The environment is also very good, and there is a beach, there are villas near the beach, the living environment is very good. Of course, a little bit north of the wealthy area is where some office workers live. That is the place provided by trading companies and factories. They are working class and middle class. They are extremely busy. The salary is adequate.

The quayside is to the south. There are a lot of goods exported there, from cotton to tablets. Some psychiatric drugs. There are also various leather products. There are also some simple arms and weapons, and there is an assembly plant there.

And in the north. In other words, on the fringe of the city, where the stench is so foul, the living environment is extremely bad. More than 80% of the population of Bangla City gathers there, that is, slums. The slums of the Mengla people. They set off from there every day, enter the city like ants, enter the factory to work, and then return to the residential area where they live exhausted at night, in a very bad living condition. But they can still bear it. At least they have food to survive, but they survive. Can't really let people say something.
