Munitions Empire - Chapter 1293 - : 1210 mirage country's four islands, where everything needs to be revived

Chapter 1293: 1210 Mirage Country’s four islands, where everything needs to be revived

When Shen Wen Dabo was escorted onto a cruiser belonging to the Tang Army, standing at the bow watching the warship beneath his feet leave the port, he saw a Tang Empire aircraft carrier passing by.

This aircraft carrier was here to maintain order on the Northern Island, and at the same time, to flaunt its strength, showing the people of Mirage Country what is truly inviolable.

The fist is here, just this big; if you’re not convinced, see whose face is harder than the fist of the Tang Empire.

Shen Wen Dabo saw that gigantic ship over 250 meters long, saw it filled with Stuka Dive Bombers.

It was at this moment he finally realized, some technologies cannot be shaken by bravery, the might of the Tang Empire, no matter how he imagined, was not accurately estimated.

The gigantic warships met at sea, followed closely by a destroyer blocking Shen Wen Dabo’s view. The cruiser he was on was heading back to Linshui, while the aircraft carrier fleet was to conduct a three-week deterrence mission on Northern Island.

With the presence of this aircraft carrier, nothing could stir up on Northern Island: even though Mirage Country, at the time of surrender, still had over 210 various aircraft, these planes were left without pilots.

Mirage Country’s exhaustion was not just talk; the Shen Emperor chose surrender not to preserve strength — all the strength Mirage Country had was completely destroyed in the early stages of the war.

Yet for Mirage Country, they indeed could take a breather: the Tang Empire promised to provide some patrol ships to Mirage Country, and if needed, export some artillery destroyers so Mirage Country could maintain maritime order.

Of course, however many destroyers are sold to Mirage Country, the orcs could buy an equal number of destroyers, maintaining regional power balance is a duty of the Tang Empire.

The airport on Northern Island is undergoing repairs, and some civilian versions of the C-47 transport aircraft can be prioritized for use. Their mission is simple, to transport goblins from Ben Island to Northern Island.

Air transportation can save some suffering, so generally, only goblins with status could enjoy it.

Since there’s an already repaired airport on Ben Island, temporarily converted for civilian use, the orcs wouldn’t have any objections. However, they insisted all goblins leave their luggage, claiming suspicion that the goblins might take away some confidential documents.

But in fact, everyone knows, this is a way for the orcs to amass wealth: the impoverished orc race naturally has their plundering methods, using it on the goblins seems justified.

All goblins must leave behind gold and silver jewelry and other valuables, if not, they would not be allowed to board the planes.

After a series of unpopular and blamed operations, the orcs successfully extorted a large sum from the goblin nobility, allowing them to pay the deposit for three artillery destroyers from the Tang Empire.

Indeed, the orcs also have their own navy now! This is simply a miracle! Shan Lu has become a hero for the orcs, truly bringing them a piece of “paradise”.

Supplies from the Tang Empire are continuously supplied to Ben Island, and the construction speed of the orc troops is very fast.

Although the Shen Capital port was severely damaged, to the orcs, it’s not a problem at all. They have rebuilt Beiyuan Port, Linshui Port, Nanshan Port in the Tang Empire… also built Great Southern Bay Port on the South Island, and are currently constructing New Island Port on New Island.

With so much port construction experience, repairing the Shen Capital port was a breeze for the orcs. It’s no longer called Shen Capital, the orcs named it “Tianci”, and the port thus got named “Tianci Port”.

Naming it this way inevitably seemed like bootlicking, for everyone knew Ben Island was gifted to the orcs by the Emperor of the Tang Empire. Naming it Tianci, doesn’t it imply the Emperor of the Tang Empire is heaven?

Yet such matters still fall into the category where no one bothers: calling the Shen Emperor the Shen Emperor, no one cared, calling Shen Capital Shen Capital, no one cared either, so who would dare involve themselves in the trivial matters of Tianci City?

Tianci Port has been turned into rubble by orc shelling, all buildings here need rebuilding, the port naturally being a heavily affected area.

It was bombed by the goblins themselves, added to the shelling by the orcs, turning the entire port area into a clean slate. However, this is very convenient for construction, once the orc and Tang Country’s heavy machinery arrived, it quickly turned into a construction site.

After taking a small boat, transferring to a destroyer, and eventually catching up to the cruiser, Shenwu Ke saw Shen Wen Dabo in the cruiser’s lounge.

The two goblins shared a bitter smile before they began to enjoy the wine and food prepared by the Tang Empire for them.

Frankly speaking, the Tang Empire was more courteous than the two goblins imagined. They weren’t mistreated along the way, rather, they were well fed and entertained, even allowed to tour the cruiser, enjoy the sea view, and feel the sea breeze on the deck.

On the busy northern routes, it is common to see transport ships from the Tang Empire. Besides ships from the Great Tang Group, there were some transport ships flying the flags of other nations heading towards Mirage Country.

The volume of resources that needed transportation was so large that fleets from other countries came to take a share. Despite winter not being ideal for construction, the Orcs disregarded this.

They preferred to seize time, digging holes, laying pipelines, and constructing drainage systems in the snowy weather, rather than wait any longer.

The Orcs’ love for this island caused them to lose all sense: they prayed to the gods to defend this sacred land at all costs.

Now that the war is over, the goods on transport ships have slightly changed: previously, the transport of ammunition and the like began to decrease while other goods started to increase.

For instance, instant noodle cans and cement tents produced by the Great Tang Empire have become popular. Even old ships have become essential items needed by both Northern Island and Ben Island.

During the war, Mirage Country not only lost warships but countless fishing and transport ships, all requiring urgent replenishment.

Without the threat of war or the hunting by Great Tang Empire’s submarines and destroyers, Mirage Country urgently needs ship capacity to purchase various goods and replenish consumed supplies.

They need to import steel and oil from Ice Cold Empire, food from other countries, and even require fishing boats to catch various seafood.

The Orcs, too, need to form their own fleets while requiring fishing and transport ships, even warships, to protect their island.

Thus, many old ships are sailed to Ben Island or Northern Island, sold directly to locals, and even crew members are employed at high wages to stay and assist in training seamen…

As war has just ended, the four islands of Mirage Country immediately became a large market, attracting gold seekers from afar to quickly gather.

Although Mirage Country has exhausted its foreign exchange reserves, they still have some private funds. The Shen Emperor had hidden some money on Northern Island, which is now also being used.

Mirage Country does not have much military strength on Northern Island, but the remaining forces here are at least wealthier than the Goblin troops on Ben Island.

After all, Mirage Country’s former Fifth Armored Division and some Infantry Divisions are here: they have at least some ammunition and fairly complete equipment.

Because sea transport was cut off at the time, these weapons and ammunition couldn’t be delivered to Ben Island, so they unexpectedly remained, now becoming capital for Northern Island.

As for the Goblin troops who surrendered on Ben Island, they have mostly no heavy weapons left, and simultaneously no ammunition or similar items.

The remaining food, goods… including the pitifully small amount of ammunition, and weaponry, are not allowed to be taken back to Northern Island; the Orcs will surely seize all these things.

The industrial facilities in the southern part of Ben Island naturally cannot be taken away, but the Goblins still strive to safely bring their workers back to Northern Island as much as possible.

This was the first task Shen Wenxin undertook after taking office as the Deputy Prime Minister of Northern Island, a task that greatly satisfied the Island Master on Northern Island.

The impoverished Goblins need to import various equipment from the Great Tang Empire, Ice Cold Empire, and even Laines Empire and Dorne Empire to restore their production.

Additionally, saying Northern Island has nothing at all is not entirely correct, as they have at least inherited Mirage Country’s “legacy.”

For instance, various patents, production qualifications, technical standards purchased from Shireck and the Great Tang Empire… all these remain with Northern Island, allowing them to regain some self-production capabilities in a short time.

In short, everything behind is in dire need of rebuilding, while Shen Wen Dabo and Shenwu Ke returned to Linshui, standing trial via a cruiser from the Great Tang Empire.

The Great Tang Empire invited diplomats from various countries stationed in the Great Tang Empire to attend this trial, where they would witness firsthand the consequences of violating the Convention on the Prohibition of Weapon Names.

Despite this convention never being taken seriously by anyone, despite many countries secretly manufacturing naval mines and land mines, and despite the convention’s name being informal, once the Great Tang Empire decides to adhere to it, everyone must reconsider the cost of breaching it…

Accompanied by the solemn voice of the judge in the court set by the Great Tang Empire, Shen Wen Dabo and Shenwu Ke, who had even gained weight from their journey’s food, were executed in the death chamber at Linshui prison.

Medical examiners and representatives from various countries witnessed the two Goblin dignitaries being shot dead: the Great Tang Empire, or Tang Mo, seemed to dislike using hanging; this was His Majesty The Emperor’s preference, so executions in the Great Tang Empire are generally shootings.

Everything was so natural, without any difference due to the two high-ranking officials from Mirage Country being shot. It is said that when the Island Master of Northern Island learned of the death of his two subordinates, he just sighed, as he is now a subject of the Great Tang Empire, without the right to fly into a rage.
