How am I still alive?

Chapter 1569 Industrial Competition
"A certificate of appreciation? Fine, just send it to my office."

After Lu Ping'an landed safely, he inexplicably received several medals and thank-you phone calls. It is said that the General Staff received dozens of thank-you letters.

Even more puzzling was that he was forced to accept another round of interviews. Even though he knew that propaganda and stabilizing people's hearts were the most important tasks at the moment, his blood pressure still soared due to the repetitive and meaningless questions.

"Yes, the war has not broken out yet, we are safe. No, I am not saying that the recent cases along the coast are not important. We are building a stable and solid defense line, but we need time."

As a news publisher, Lu Ping'an is very professional because he did not speak empty words but told the truth directly, informing the public on the TV screen of the current unsafe reality along the coast.

But this is the current situation. The military region and the coast guard have not even completed their reorganization, so how can they organize a foolproof line of defense?

In fact, one of the main tasks that the next military regions have just received is to help complete the migration of coastal residents. It seems that the decision-makers in the rear have also determined that even if the defense line is completed, the coast cannot be foolproof.

It is basically inevitable to relocate some residents who live too close to the ocean and establish a "war buffer zone".

"Can I be responsible for the lives of the relocated residents? I really don't have that ability. That's not my responsibility. I'm a soldier and a warrior. I believe our inland civil affairs departments have enough capabilities and they will do all this well."

Lu Ping'an was a man of many outrageous remarks, but his unskilled outspokenness, coupled with his title of general, actually made him a minor celebrity on TV.

"Losses? Of course there are losses. But compared to property, is life more important? This is a war, how can there not be deaths? If you don't want to die, just listen to the instructions and complete the relocation as soon as possible."

This kind of speech, which should have been stopped urgently, was broadcast directly on TV because of his identity.

"Of course we have to be responsible for the safety of people's lives, but we can only be responsible within our capabilities and don't cause trouble for the soldiers. Also, there will be many foreign soldiers coming to various regions, and the coast may become a war zone. No one can guarantee that everything will be safe."

Lu Ping'an himself was mentally prepared for the fact that the video would not be broadcast, but in the end, not only was it broadcast, it was also officially promoted and was edited and broadcast on larger news channels.

Obviously, Lu Ping'an served as a lip service. Some people felt that instead of continuing to maintain the so-called "sense of security", it would be better to reveal the piece of paper and allow more people to survive the impending disaster.

This may also be a hint that when the next storm comes, even the East Country will not be able to protect everyone.

"Mayor Li, as agreed before, I will fight for projects for my hometown? What? No? I'm not being polite? You can't do it?"

For coastal residents, this is undoubtedly an unprovoked disaster, but for inland cities with a large influx of population, this may not be an opportunity for development.

At least the inland real estate market has been going crazy these days. Thinking that his hometown might be affected, Lu Ping'an just made a phone call to ask and also took the opportunity to discuss the preparations for the meeting in a few days.

The answer I got was very subtle.

On the one hand, the population of the ancient city is still on the verge of explosion, and the city really cannot afford the welfare of this wave of population (too many outsiders). On the other hand, the other party is not interested in the "project" introduced by Lu Ping'an.

"Our car and shipyard project orders are all due by 2024, so we really don't need them anymore."

Lu Ping'an originally planned to use his identity to win some official orders for the industries in his hometown, but it seems that the business there is already overloaded.

This order was scheduled for almost twenty years later, and even Lu Ping'an was surprised what had happened.

".It was originally top secret. Is your phone number confidential? In fact, we received an order from the military, and our car manufacturing has been switched back to shipbuilding."

Originally, the pillar project of the Ancient City Development Zone was sand boating, which was later transformed into speedboats, aquatic motorcycles, and road boats, and a shipbuilding division was developed in Mercury 42.

This has basically become the pillar of the entire ancient city. These industries not only have high profits and high added value, but also have a large number of branches and auxiliary industries that can meet the needs of a large number of jobs.

The rapid development of the ancient city in the past two years, after all, is due to the good decisions made back then. Even if there was Lu Ping'an, the "big boss" working hard outside, it would still not have been able to develop if the family was in a mess and had no support.

Now, Lu Ping'an called back to introduce the project. Although it seemed selfish, it was actually a contribution to the development of the entire ancient city.

But it seems that he is too late
".The orders for warships are full. Not only in our city, but almost all factories in the country that can produce floating devices have orders scheduled for at least five years."

"crazy."

At this moment, Lu Ping'an was numb.

Is it really that serious? The whole country is mobilizing?
But he thought about it again. In fact, the country does not have much shipbuilding industry (this world line), and now it is facing long-term pressure from the ocean, so it is normal to increase production to the maximum.

Maybe in the next ten years, even the stockpiled ships will not be enough for an ocean war.

But here, Lu Ping'an smelled something unusual.

"If we are just defending the front, there is no need for so many ships. We can just station them along the continent. Going into the deep sea to pursue them is courting death."

The answer is actually very obvious. Dongguo not only wants to defend, but also prepares for counterattack.

Only with a large number of ships would it be possible for the warriors to use them as bases to counterattack Australia and completely heal the world's bleeding wound.

".You're so bold."

Some things are open conspiracies and cannot be hidden. I am afraid that it will not be long before the strategic plan for early defense, mid-term stalemate and late-stage counterattack will be delivered to Lu Ping'an.

"Will your ships supply our military district?"

Now, Lu Ping'an seems to have a new job. If given a choice, no one would want a floating coffin on the water.

He needs to investigate the strength of each shipyard. If it is near the coast, all shipyards are similar, but if it is high seas, the quality of the ship is very important.

"It'd better be big enough. Size is always the most important. It doesn't need a high speed. After all, its core function is to be a floating island on the sea. It's better to have full buoyancy and more carrying capacity. By the way, if the damage can be repaired quickly, it will be even better. If the area is large enough, I can also bring war machines and beasts."

"Isn't this the Fuso wood battleship, meow?"

Maomao broke the deadlock with just one word. Isn’t the ideal battleship that Lu Pingan dreamed of the Ark?

In an era where victory or defeat is determined by supernatural powers, ships are more of a means of transportation, and the effects of the weapons on them are too mediocre.

"This isn't Mercury 42, how can there be Fuso wood? Uh, uh, is it really impossible?"

Lu Ping'an suddenly looked up at the sky. The God of Salvation was there, the tree species were there, and the gardener who could plant them in large quantities was also there.

"How about we try our hand at shipbuilding ourselves?"

"By the way, can you bring the light tree too?"
