Chapter 763 Wucheng Port Site Selection
At 9 am on April 20th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, two fleets set sail on the civilian pier outside Yidao Fisherman Village in Yicheng territory.
A fleet is composed of 5 warships, 30 new-type troop carriers and 20 new-type merchant ships. The warships are carrying Kong Ming and food and other supplies to aid the main mainland, and sail towards the main mainland Yancheng Port.
The other fleet is composed of 5 super warships, which did not carry any supplies, but only brought enough soldiers, loaded with Qu Mao, Zhao Pan and Chafidel, led by Sylvia Ocean himself , and headed for the red port of Jier Houguo.
Of course, although Qu Mao’s fleet has only five super warships, Qu Mao, Sylvia Ocean, Zhao Pan, and Chafidel are all in this fleet, and the navy is also very cautious, Shanks Heavyweight naval heroes such as Reid and Christine Slian also led troops to **** the ship.
The naval fleet formed by five super warships, although the number of warships is relatively small, the number of naval soldiers has reached 18,000, and its strength should not be underestimated. However, compared with the safety of Qu Mao and others, the navy does not care much Pass.
After taking down the Liusu Principality and the Six Great Marquis, the Yicheng territory can be regarded as a powerful force, and Qu Mao is the lord of this powerful force with hundreds of millions of people. How can it survive without good protection?
Kong Ming's fleet and Qu Mao's fleet split into two groups at the civilian pier outside Yidao Fisherman's Village. Kong Ming's fleet passed through the strait between Shangdao and Zhidao, and headed straight for Yancheng Port.
The fleet that Qu Mao was in sailed from the northern part of Yi Island, bypassing Shang Island and Fukushima, and headed for the Red Harbor of Jierhou Kingdom.
After taking over the territory of the main continent, the combined coastlines of Jierhou Kingdom, Luanshanhou Kingdom, and Liusu Principality are more than 700 kilometers and within 800 kilometers. There are only three ports in the middle, one is Yantian Port of Liusu Principality, located in At the northeast end of this coastline, one is the White Harbor of the Gilhou Kingdom, and the other is the Red Harbor of the Gilhou Kingdom.
Honggang is already close to the southwest end of this coastline, and the distance between Baigang and Yancheng Port is not particularly far, and it is estimated to be about 500 kilometers.
And between Baigang and Yancheng Port, the Nancun Naval Military Base is now built, but the Nancun Naval Military Base is too close to Yancheng Port, which is almost negligible, after all, it is only about 20 kilometers away from Yancheng Port.
Nancun Naval Military Base is not an open port, so when Qu Mao and others investigated the coastline, they did not count Nancun Naval Military Base as a port.
Yancheng Port is only about 500 kilometers away from Baigang in Jierhou Kingdom, which means that Red Harbor is about 200 kilometers away from Baigang and less than 300 kilometers away. The mainland will build Wucheng and Wucheng Port to accommodate soldiers, and it will probably be between Baigang and Yancheng Port.
In fact, Qu Mao’s thinking is almost the same. In the range of about 500 kilometers between Yancheng Port and Bai Harbor, Sylvia Ocean has actually led the navy to search many times alone.
Fortunately, most of the 500-kilometer coastline has the conditions to build Wucheng Port and Wucheng, because there are no populated cities along the coast, which looks very desolate.
As a result of Sylvia Ocean's search, there are at least five sites that are suitable for the construction of Wucheng and Wucheng Port, and they have also reported to Qu Mao, who also focused on Sylvia Ocean. Among the five locations provided, the main reason why he wanted to drive towards Honggang was that Qu Mao had never visited Honggang before.
After leaving Yidao, Qu Mao asked Sylvia Ocean to go around the Red Harbor, and then went straight to the five alternative locations selected in advance to inspect them one by one.
Qu Mao plans to spend one day and one night to personally survey the five candidate sites, complete the construction planning drawings of Wucheng and Wucheng Port on land, and then hand them over to three military heroes to organize the construction.
In the end, Qu Mao chose a place about 140 miles away from Nancun Naval Military Base and about 270 kilometers away from Baigang to build Wucheng Port, and built Wucheng after advancing 3 kilometers on land. This place is still in the territory of Jierhou State .
And at about 5 pm on April 21st in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao used a shuttle boat to land on this land. Accompanied by Zhao Pan and Chafidel, he boarded a high mountain on the shore and observed The surrounding terrain.
After viewing the terrain, Qu Mao said to Zhao Pan and Chafidel beside him: "Zhao Pan and Chafidel said on the boat that the construction of Yancheng Port was delayed by 3 kilometers. I am afraid that it can only be pushed back by 2 kilometers. The Wucheng Port will appear a bit crowded, so it can only be built longer along the coastline.
How about this, Zhao Pan, you go back to the shore first, and let Sylvia Ocean arrange for the fifth-tier palace guards and fourth-tier guards to disembark. Draw up the construction plan, and strive to return to the Duchy of Liusu tomorrow. "
Zhao Pan said: "My lord, there is no hurry. I will inform Sylvia after I accompany you down the mountain. Unfortunately, the distance from Yicheng is beyond 1,000 kilometers, and the magic communication crystal cannot be used."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "With Chafidel accompanying me, what are you worried about? Besides, I am not incapable of fighting."
Zhao Pan quickly walked down the mountain, and Qu Mao and Chafidel returned to the seaside when it was almost dark.
But Sylvia Ocean was still on the super warship and did not leave.
Qu Mao looked at Sylvia Ocean in astonishment, and asked, "Sylvia, didn't you ask you to go back and organize craftsmen and residents to transport them here to build Wucheng Port and Wucheng? Why are you still here? ?”
Sylvia Ocean shouted loudly: "My lord, my subordinates have asked Shanks and Christine to each drive a super warship back to complete the tasks that your lord has given you.
Tonight, my subordinates will bring 15,000 naval soldiers to accompany you to camp at the future Wucheng Port. "
Zhao Pan is also beginning to organize the fifth-tier imperial guards, fourth-tier imperial guards, and a small number of army soldiers. He is setting up marching tents on the coast, and some soldiers are lighting bonfires and preparing to cook.
Qu Mao waved his hand and returned to the marching tent. Based on the simple maps surveyed and mapped by the Navy and the Army, he began to draw the construction plans of Wucheng and Wucheng Port.
It is estimated that at dawn tomorrow, Shanks Reid and Kristen Ciliane will bring a total of no less than 20,000 craftsmen and residents to participate in the construction of Wucheng Port and Wucheng.
