Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Poor and White Truth
Ma Chen also has a dock, but mainly berths cargo ships below 5,000 tons, and can temporarily berth warships to replenish fresh water and coal for the warship. The 10,000-ton freighter brought by Guo Yu can only be berthed in the bay.
The people on the dock saw such a large fleet anchored in the bay, and they all exclaimed in surprise. At this time, the port manager, Dutchman Ryndert van Santvoort, and the head of the guard, accompanied by 30 Dutch soldiers, stood in front of the office building, gazing at the fleet.
Fan Saide had received the news earlier, Ma Chen and the tens of thousands of square kilometers of land here were sold to a Chinese rich businessman, who also has business in America and has some influence in China.
When Guo Yu's fleet arrived, Van Saar still underestimated Guo Yu's strength. This large fleet was the largest cargo transportation company in Holland and it was impossible to organize so many ships at once, let alone for one person's farewell.
But what does it have to do with him, this place has already been sold to that Chinese person, after he hands over and leaves, he will be leaving this island full of rainwater to go back to Holland to live a carefree life. What happens here in the future has nothing to do with him, this place now belongs to someone else.
Kuo Yu called for Tai Chu, took out the deed to the land he had purchased, and told him to go through the formalities of transfer. These small matters Kuo Yu would not stoop to attend to; his opponent was not worth it, and besides, he did not care to see his face again. The foreigners nowadays looked down upon the Chinese.
A large ship lowered five lifeboats, each with 20 guards on board. The guards wore steel helmets, held rifles in their hands, and were dressed in black tactical uniforms, wearing leather tactical boots, with a black armed belt around their waists, and a dagger hanging from their belts. Each of them had a solemn expression, giving off an aura of sternness.
After landing, they quickly formed a team and Da Zhu led them to the city. Passersby on the road couldn't help but glance at this majestic team, wondering where they came from.
Two teams of men fought in the courtyard of the governor's office, one team with thirty men and the other with a hundred. In terms of both attire and demeanor, the Dutch soldiers were outdone by the Huafu guards, a fact that even Van Saar had to admit.
Dazhu walked up front, took out the land purchase document, and after a simple handover between the two parties, the ownership of this land was transferred to Guo Yu's hands.
The Dutch left and didn't stay for long, they handed over and boarded the ship directly after, it seems they had made preparations beforehand.
The crew of the Wah Fu began to be rescued by lifeboats and taken to the port, a town of just over 10,000 people, which was packed to capacity. Originally, there were less than 3,000 people in the port of Maren, including locals, Chinese, and dockworkers who lived together here, making a living from the port. However, this was not a major port, and these people could only barely make ends meet, with occasional visits from local aborigines from the rainforest to exchange goods.
It is now 3 pm. Guo Yu ordered that the camp tent must be set up before dinner, and a temporary residence established. Once the order was given, someone would naturally take care of it.
Guo Yu led Er Zhu and Hu Yunwen, Xiao Ni into the Du Li Chu, which was just a wooden structure flat house, with a small military camp on the side, originally the Dutch soldiers' garrison. Although it was very small, it was also one of the best houses in Ma Chen.
A long voyage at sea, although not working, makes people feel extremely tired. After all, humans are land animals. Guo Yu stretched his waist and didn't want to do anything else today. First, he would temporarily settle the personnel, and whatever happened tomorrow could be discussed then.
It's been a long time since I had a good bath. On the boat, I could only take a quick shower, which was not satisfying at all. I asked Xiaoni and others to boil some water for me to take a bath. Coincidentally, there is also a bathtub here, although it's not as good as the one in Guoyu's villa in America, but it's acceptable given the circumstances.
Soaking in the pool, Xiaoni and Xiaoyun were waiting on one side. This had already become a habit of Guo Yu's. He also liked to check his merit points while bathing.
I saw it on the boat that time, and it wasn't even 10 million then. I just took a glance, and now it's already over 10 million. It can be upgraded again! This time, I've been waiting for almost half a year, it's really not easy.
What to upgrade, Shouyuan is not in a hurry, space and body, Guo Yu hesitated for a while, no matter which one to upgrade, the other one will have to wait a long time to be upgraded.
Now Guo Yu's body is bulletproof, knife-proof, running speed like Superman, jumping three meters high with one bounce, punching a brick to pieces, with the strength of a thousand pounds. And space is now sufficient.
After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to upgrade his body. He was curious about the changes that would occur and also feared death. If others were to shoot him with a sniper rifle, they could still kill him instantly. But after this upgrade, even cannons couldn't kill him in one shot; they could only injure him. He could then use his merit points to heal himself, which made him fearless. Moreover, he would gradually reveal himself in the future and needed to be able to protect himself well.
Upgrading physical quality, a warm feeling flows through the whole body, clenched fists, power increased a lot, it seems that I need to adapt for two days, these two days need to punch more.
There's exciting news to share with others, and the best people to share it with are Xiaoni and Xiaoyun. After hugging them tightly, they started kissing passionately, leaving both women breathless. They hadn't had a chance to be together properly on the road before, but now their desire for each other was even more intense. The three of them rolled around in the water, splashing droplets everywhere, and even got the roof wet. To put it simply, they got the roof wet.
The next morning, the sound of the Whafo team's morning exercise was heard, and the residents of the port were very curious. Some people secretly went to watch the team's formation exercises, feeling that this team was so mighty.
In the morning, I got up and exercised, had breakfast under the service of two women, and then called all high-level personnel to study the situation in the garrison.
Everyone discussed and expressed their opinions. Guo Yu, based on his understanding of the situation and future needs, planned to set up a base in the original forest north of Ma Chen, 60 miles away from Ma Chen Port. It's not far, and after the road is repaired, it will take less than an hour to drive there. Also, if enemies attack in the future, this location can prevent being hit by naval gunfire. The area is desolate and uninhabited, making it convenient for secret construction. In the future, Guo Yu plans to build a factory there, where there are coal mines and iron mines, which will also facilitate transportation and use. Once the area develops, there will only be one road leading to the base, making it easier to defend.
A garrison and warehouse dock will be established here in Ma Chen, and all supplies will be transported from here afterwards.
Express your own ideas, everyone said a little, and then it was settled. First, we need to establish a base in Ma Chen, and after settling down all the people, we can proceed with the next step of work.
Guo Yu led the crowd to circle around the port and finally chose a hill in the southwest direction of the port as the garrison's residence. The terrain was high, close to the port, easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it an ideal place for a military camp. A temporary plan was made to build a camp that could accommodate 10,000 people.
