Imperial Overlord

"Woo..." A huge whistle sounded on the port dock in the early morning, and a huge ship was ready to lift its anchor and go to sea.

This is a newly launched transport ship, it has a brand new name, it's called a container ship! Its transportation capacity is quite strong, and the most gratifying thing is its unloading capacity.

The throughput capacity of a port depends on the size of the port most of the time. However, the port cannot expand its own scale without limit, nor can it increase its own wharf without limit.

Then, another way to increase the port's throughput is to increase the loading and unloading speed! As long as the loading and unloading of goods is faster, the ships can leave the port faster, and the throughput capacity of the terminal can be increased exponentially.

Therefore, the crane and the container have become the greatest invention in the history of German shipping.

When the head of state ordered the construction of a container ship before, the person in charge thought it was superfluous: loading materials into boxes and transporting them was almost no different from bulk loading.

But now it seems that just one more box solves a big problem: the container is simply an indispensable existence in modern transportation.

Because of this huge box, it is not only convenient for transportation on the dock, but also can be directly transported by trailer and railway!

Large vehicles can pull such boxes by simply hanging them on a flatbed trailer, eliminating the need for new stevedores to carry them along the journey.

Before packing, the materials with the same destination are divided into one box, which can be easily loaded and unloaded at one time, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

Even if these boxes are dissatisfied, the time and energy saved in the transportation process is enough to make up for the loss caused by wasting transportation capacity.

Similarly, transportation by train is also a very convenient thing. Simply modify the train station, and these containers can be directly loaded on the train at the port, and then you only need to unload the containers that arrive at the destination along the way.

The military transport of arms supplies, food supplies, and civilian transport of various things can all be done with containers.

The transport efficiency of the dedicated freighter is twice or even five times that of the old-fashioned freighter.

Businessmen are the most sensitive. In terms of saving costs and improving efficiency, they will invest ten times and a hundred times their energy to expand.

Containers are obviously a project worth investing in energy and money, so it took Germany only half a year to convert most of Europe's ports and train stations into shapes that can handle containers.

The efficiency in this process was not even expected by Li Le, who was a transmigrator. Now the logistics in Germany is at least a year more advanced than that in the United States.

Standing on the dock, a stevedore foreman was blocked by a huge "dark cloud" overhead. He squinted and looked up, and saw a huge container being hoisted by a crane, heading towards the docked dock. The freighter moved.

A huge ship is leaving the port, another cargo ship is loading supplies. One container after another was lifted onto the ship by crane, and the red warning line under the hull also dipped into the water little by little.

"This thing is really convenient! Two docks were only renovated in Springfield, and now the throughput of these two docks has exceeded four ordinary docks." The apprentice standing beside the foreman of the stevedore was also pierced by the morning sun Unable to open his eyelids, he squinted and sighed.

He had just graduated from school and was assigned to this port, where he practiced dispatch management. The former low-level loading and unloading supervisor has now been transformed into a real management talent.

"If it's not so convenient, will Mr. Turner stop work for two months and convert all four of his company's terminals into container freight terminals?" The foreman who led the apprentice sneered and looked at The dock being remodeled over there.

In Wilhelmshaven, several dedicated freight terminals have been shut down for renovation, and huge scaffolding has been erected, and the workers above are working hard.

In order to increase the throughput capacity of the terminal again, the merchants here are struggling with their brains - they easily accepted the concept of container freight, and used their own ingenuity to improve this transportation method to an impeccable level.

This is really the logistics innovation of the 21st century. They enjoy this kind of invention and creation that surpasses the times, and contribute to the operation of the Third Reich more efficiently.

"Don't stand idle here! Let the people from the second handling team board the ship! Fix the container! Don't make an accident!" Withdrew his eyes, the foreman of the stevedore said: "You need a lot of inspections, this is It's something you must do when you work in the future!"

Although he is reluctant to teach a foreman apprentice to grab his job~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Taking an apprentice is a way to increase his income, and he can also assign his work to the apprentice to worry about.

It's a win-win: training can add more talent to the country, and it can earn itself more subsidies.

"Okay! Sir!" The young apprentice nodded quickly, shouted to the dozen or so stevedores guarding the dock, and climbed up the gangway on the side of the giant ship docked at the dock.

"Reinforce all the suitcases! This is a transport ship to St. Petersburg!" He stepped up the gangway and began to confirm loudly.

While confirming, he took out a record from the backpack he was carrying, and carefully checked the exact number of the container.

Because the size is relatively large and the square is regular and regular, it is also very convenient and quick to count the material quantity of the container ship.

It is a hassle to count a lot of messy materials thrown into the cabin, but it is much simpler to count how many containers are on a freighter-unless someone deliberately piles them into a hollow state, there will be a lack of one container. That is obvious at a glance.

"Okay!" The dock workers who followed him onto the ship were also very conscientious. They used the tools already on the ship to start fixing the containers in front of them together.

As long as some screws are used, the container can be simply and firmly fixed on the deck of the cargo ship, and there will be no moving accidents despite the wind and waves.

These containers are placed on the freighter. After arriving at the destination, as long as a few screws are simply removed, they can be lifted by a crane and transported to the shore, which is surprisingly fast.

"Sign!" After finishing all the work, the apprentice handed the statistics form in his hand to the captain of the freighter and said with a smile.
