Chapter 971: Suez Canal

After the Chinese army captured Delhi, they began to divide their troops to occupy the entire South Asian subcontinent and establish effective rule.

At the same time, the navy also occupied Port Said and Suez not long ago.

Of the more than 200,000 prisoners in India, nearly 100,000 of them were transported to Suez in preparation for the excavation of the Suez Canal.

Most of the current maritime trade between Dahua and Western Europe needs to pass through the Cape of Good Hope in Africa and make a big turn.

And if the Suez Canal can be dug to connect the Red Sea with the Mediterranean, the journey from Dahua to Western Europe can be shortened by about 10,000 kilometers.

One boat can travel 10,000 kilometers in a single trade, saving a lot of time and fuel.

And there are thousands of ships active on this trade line.

Moreover, once the canal is built, it can be used for hundreds of thousands of years.

From a long-term perspective, this is a lucrative project.

The construction of the Suez Canal is very difficult and on a large scale, at least people in other countries can't even think of it.

But for Dahua, this is not really a big deal, it's just that the scale of the project is slightly larger.

One hundred thousand prisoners were delivered, and thirty excavators and one hundred heavy trucks from Dahua were also brought over for their appearance in Suez.

When the excavator shoveled down and buckled a bucket of dirt, the eyes of the prisoners on the construction site were all rounded.

What kind of monster is this?

With their limited knowledge, they can't understand this kind of thing at all.

"It's Juli God."

An Indian soldier knelt down and prayed devoutly.

Being able to dig up thousands of catties of soil at one time is really too powerful, and it must be a supernatural power.

People need faith even more when they are at a loss. The current captives are quite confused about the future.

It just so happened that the excavator appeared in front of them, showing unparalleled power, and conquering their fragile hearts at once.

Some of them began to formulate some beliefs to deceive themselves.

Let your heart begin to believe that you are following the Juli God to do a great thing, rather than being enslaved and doing coolies here.

If you change your mind, you can feel better in your heart.

The excavator became a **** of strength, and the master of the excavator became an envoy.

This kind of thing almost didn't make the big Chinese laugh to death.

At the beginning, some Chinese people would laugh at these captives a bit, and find a sense of superiority.

Later, the officers who watched these prisoners discovered that those who believed that the excavator was the Captive of Juli God would be more obedient and harder when working.

Since there is such an effect, the Huajun naturally has no need to abandon it.

As a result, they began to proclaim among the captives that these excavators were the gods of great power, and they were arranged by heaven to benefit the world...

After they deliberately promoted this superstition, Juli's statement spread quickly.

Soon, most of the nearly 100,000 prisoners believed this statement.

People who didn't believe also pretended to believe on the surface. Because once he showed a gesture of disbelief, he would be beaten immediately, which is why Juli God can spread quickly.

These people who pretend to believe will naturally not have the faith bonus when they work, and they will not work harder.

But it doesn't matter, as long as everyone on the surface believes in Juli God, then some of them will be stupid people who truly believe in Juli God.

The number of this group of people is still quite large, because people in India are superstitious, and there are hundreds of thousands of messy gods. Now it is reasonable to have another Juli God.

This group of people has a belief bonus, works harder, and manages better.

For this reason, Hua Jun can appropriately reduce the number of supervisors and save a lot of costs.

The construction of the Suez Canal was started, and Western Europeans and West Asians who learned the news came to visit the site.

"What is that big guy?"

In a Western European family who came to visit, the teenager saw the excavator working, and immediately couldn't walk.

"That is Dahua's excavators and trucks. An excavator can be as efficient as fifty workers."

The tone of his father James was helpless.

Dahua's excavators are really terrible. This kind of work efficiency makes other countries can only sigh in terms of infrastructure construction.

"Cool, I will also drive an excavator and be an excavator driver in the future."

Said the boy.

In his opinion, controlling such a big guy and digging wantonly is really a super cool thing.

"No, you have to learn to make excavators in the future, that's the coolest thing."

James taught, but the boy did not listen.

Learning is too boring and boring. Where is it interesting to drive an excavator?

"Is this Dahua's machine? It's too subtle, too sophisticated. The machines in our country's factories are just like iron bumps."

Fei Liwen, James' wife, sighed with emotion.

She has visited some factories in London and seen the so-called machines.

In contrast, Dahua's machine is so exquisite and flexible, it is almost like a work of art.

"Alas, the gap between our country and Dahua is at least more than 20 years. In another 20 years, we may not be able to build this kind of excavator."

James sighed.

"The machines sent overseas are so exquisite and magical. Maybe there are more magical things in Dahua. I really want to visit Dahua."

James is worried about the motherland, but his son is concerned about where to learn to drive the excavator, and his wife is thinking about traveling to Dahua.

In Western Europe, not everyone can understand how the power gap between Dahua and their countries will affect them.

"Dahua used 100,000 prisoners, 20,000 local indigenous people, and a large number of excavators and trucks. The scale of this project is unprecedented."

"It may be considered unprecedented, but it will definitely not be possible in the future. With Dahua's development speed, there will definitely be more large-scale projects in the future."

"Looking at this battle, the Suez Canal will probably be dug through soon."

"This is a good thing."

"Really? I don't think so."

A group of tourists discussing with each other.

Different people have different ideas about the opening and construction of the Suez Canal.

Merchants are naturally the happiest group. After the construction of the canal, the distance from Western Europe to Dahua has been greatly shortened, transportation time has been shortened, and costs have been reduced.

The ruling class, or some people of insight, saw the construction of the canal, but they thought that it would be more convenient for Dahua to transport troops and ammunition to Western Europe.

From this perspective, the Suez Canal is very bad for Western Europe.

However, no matter what they think, it will not affect the progress of the project.

They don't have the guts for the time being to do damage on the construction site.
