Chapter 782: Stepping on the throne!!
Star Sky Harbor.
Gradually, calm was restored. Some people evacuated from Xingtian Port, but more soldiers stayed.
Lin Tianchen did not choose to leave, but stood at the highest point of the port and looked at the entire harbor.
The port is very large, it can be said to be a long line. It is a deep-water port. There are not many such excellent seaports in the world, let alone such an important location.
In addition, it is not just this reason. There is also a deep-water port on the other side of the river. At that time, both the economy and the fleet can be developed. This is what Lin Tianchen values most.
Xingtian Port had experienced war and the overall buildings were severely damaged.
It was a good thing that it was not completely destroyed after being bombarded by the fleet's massive naval guns.
Although the current damage is serious, some buildings can be salvaged and put back into use, ensuring the functionality of some buildings.
"Announce to the outside world that a battle has broken out at Xingtian Port... Having risen from the ashes, Xingtian Port will guarantee the safety of navigation within its waters..."
Lin Tianchen's eyes flashed slightly. Although the damage in front of him had seriously damaged the harbor, the gains brought by this battle were definitely not low.
The formation retreated more decisively than Lin Tianchen had expected. Originally, Lin Tianchen had been prepared for a protracted battle, but the opponent's retreat gave Lin Tianchen a new opportunity.
Sea transportation is not safe nowadays. If a convenient and safe waterway can be provided, it can definitely boost the economy that has just experienced war and stagnation.
The ocean is frightening, but its turbulent waves are full of gold, and many people are willing to take risks for it.
If such an important waterway could be put to good use, they would definitely be able to make a fortune.
It can be said that this battle not only failed to defeat them, but instead gave Xingtian Port an unprecedented opportunity, an opportunity that will never come again if missed.
Once the safety of navigation is guaranteed, inland materials will be more convenient to export. In this chaotic situation, to ensure the safety of navigation, I believe many shipping companies will choose to go this way.
Some goods from the mainland will also be transported quickly to Xingtian Port and sold around the world.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianchen turned to look at the person in charge of Xingtian Port.
"Bori...Restore the operation of Star Sky Port as soon as possible."
Lin Tianchen's tone was very firm. If Xingtian Port could play an important role in the world's shipping now, he would have nothing to fear from an ordinary war unless the opponent had nuclear weapons and he did not.
"Yes."
There was a person following Lin Tianchen, who immediately nodded in response, his eyes full of fanaticism.
As a former middle-level manager of Xingtian Port, with the arrival of the Tiger Guards, Bori thought that he would be locked up like everyone else and slowly investigated.
But after the Tiger Guards arrived, they actually released him and placed him in an important position.
Boris thought about it and guessed that it was because of his previous encounter with Feng Jianhai.
However, he did not get any answer after trying to find out from all sides, so he accepted the mission of the Tiger Guards, took over Xingtian Port, and began to develop stealthily.
The arrival of the large fleet made him feel uneasy. After all, looking at the densely packed large ships from afar, he felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.
In this battle, he sent his wife and children inland. He knew very well that he had already been labeled, and if the Tiger Guards failed, he would also be liquidated.
He had already prepared himself for death in his heart, but he didn't expect that with the arrival of Lin Tianchen, he would personally command the heavy artillery bombardment and gain absolute advantage, and a restricted area would be formed in the sky.
The damage to Xingtian Port was very serious, but he knew that once the statement was issued, Xingtian Port would reach an unprecedented peak, and the stagnant shipping in the world would choose to go through here.
With anticipation for the future in his mind, Bori felt his body was full of energy. He called some of the workers at Xingtian Port who had not left, and cooperated with the soldiers to clean up one building after another.
He wanted to get Starport into operational condition as soon as possible.
Despite the wars that Xingtian Port has experienced, it still exudes great vitality. Walking in Xingtian Port, there is a large open space where many soldiers are working with the people to repair it.
"Eagle-chan missed the best opportunity. After today, no one can stop him." Jiguna looked at the thriving Star Sky Port with an expression full of amazement.
What she thought was a very difficult battle was downplayed by Lin Tianchen. After this battle, it would be even more difficult for the Eagle Sauce to suppress Lin Tianchen again.
The arsenals were working day and night to produce artillery shells for this battle. In fact, it was like a taut string. Once the war became protracted, it was hard to say whether the string would break.
In addition, Eagle Sauce’s desire to dominate the world is obvious. If Eagle Sauce did not seize the opportunity this time, the next time it meets Lin Tianchen, he will be an even more terrifying existence.
In her opinion, when they fight with Lin Tianchen, they will definitely be defeated even more miserably than now, because she has been in Diandi before.
It is very clear that Lin Tianchen attaches great importance to development. Now the first five-year plan is being implemented rapidly. New schools are being established everywhere and many roads are being paved.
Maybe we can't see anything now, but with the popularization of knowledge and the enlightenment of the people, they will understand more and more what kind of life they want.
At the same time, Lin Tianchen's emphasis on scientific research is definitely not like that of a commander.
As for the road being paved, the ambition behind it could be seen from the drawings that Lin Tianchen asked her for. It was all based on railway and automobile-related technologies.
Once the road is built, a huge transportation network will be formed.
The longer the time drags on, the more Lin Tianchen will turn this place into an iron barrel.
In this battle, from her personal perspective, or Hans' perspective, she hoped that the team could fight to the death with Lin Tianchen, but she had no control over this game and she didn't even dare to show it.
"What a pity." Sunizi sighed softly. The overwhelming strength displayed by Lin Tianchen made the fleet feel afraid, and they finally chose to cease fire.
This was before the war, he didn't even dare to think about it, but the facts are now before him.
"There's nothing to regret, this is our way out..."
Jiguna shook her head. The current situation was not bad for her.
At least the more stable Lin Tianchen's foundation is, the more secure their retreat will be.
The statement issued by Xingtian Port was not encrypted at all, so it was received by multiple parties.
At this time, Smith on the ocean looked at the telegram in his hand with a gloomy expression.
"He's stepping on us to get to the top." Smith's tone was full of gloom, and he looked up at the staff.
Now they have chosen to take a detour, but it feels really bad to be stepped on by others to get to the top.
Even so, he had no intention of turning around, as the artillery at Xingtian Port had left a deep impression on him.
They reviewed the situation countless times, but they did not find a way to deal with the precise heavy artillery. After all, the range was two or three kilometers longer than their naval guns.
And he still hasn't figured out the strange anti-aircraft firepower.
"Pay special attention to Lin Tianchen. I want to know everything about him."
Smith looked at the silent staff and let out a breath.
He seemed to be able to foresee that Star Sky Port would become a shipping center for a period of time in the future, but the most important thing for them now was to deal with Hans.
After dealing with Hans... Smith looked deeply in the direction of Lu Liu, his eyes full of murderous intent.
The large fleet sailed slowly forward in the vast ocean.
They were still overcoming difficulties, but some of their ships were being dragged along, completely losing their previous dominance.
