Chapter 256
The iron cable attached to the main hook of the tall crane is linked to the body of the sea train on the other side of the Dawn.
There were faint shouts on the deck, and it was estimated that the people above were confirming the link, in order to make sure nothing went wrong.
Thousands of people were watching, and more than 80% of the news agency in Demingham came, and the rest were tabloids that focused on gossip and entertainment.
If something goes wrong here, the government’s punishment is one thing, and the anger and public opinion of the people will definitely make them go.
Beep
The loud whistle echoed on the square again. Under the traction of the chains, the body of the sea train finally slowly appeared in front of everyone from the other side of the Dawn. .
The nearly 10-meter-long body, the head end is similar to the head of the train when Donald came to Demingham, but there is no common steam vent above it, replaced by a large searchlight, and there is a 1918 written in white font is the year of this year.
It is not a train-like carriage. The front of the car only occupies about one-fifth of the entire body. Donald can see through the window outside that there are many control instruments inside. It should be similar. the same as the control room.
The main color of the back body is brown and red, one outside and one inside. Except for the whale oil lamps that are attached at intervals, there is no special structure, but the things in the car are interesting. The windows can see the red velvet benches, and once the aisle is ruled out, there seem to be two chairs on the left and right.
With such a long body, there are not many passengers that can be carried, and Donald is not surprised by this fact.
I said before that the trial operation of the sea train in Wangque District is more of a formal thing. It is not so much that it will be used as a means of transportation, but it is actually a sightseeing tour The role of the tour bus.
Would you expect those shopping in Wangque District to huddle like sardines in the carriage?
This is absolutely impossible. In the eyes of many high-class people, it is unacceptable to squeeze in the same carriage with some civilians, even if they are sitting together.
This “equality” of status is seen as an insult to them.
The world is like this, even if some people are unwilling, there are more people who acquiesce.
Donald even doubts that high-priced tickets will appear after the sea train starts running, so that ordinary people will retreat.
Perhaps this will only change when construction of sea trains begins in Tallinn or Summerlin.
Certainly, both present and future inequality.
This did not prevent the people from cheering for the appearance of this sea train, and when it was successfully parked on the track, it was like thunderous applause.
The mayor was in the center of the crowd. He gave a loud speech, and sometimes patted a young man on the shoulder. He was the driver of the sea train by default. Although he didn’t have to board the train today, he was fast. Now, when it comes to the day of trial operation, there will be some excitement.
Listening to the people next to me, that youngster seems to be a cousin of a distant cousin of the mayor…
Donald pressed the railing on the coast and looked over there. Crowd, after introducing the youngster, the mayor seems to have said something else.
About the technical development of sea trains, about the future operation control and so on.
Donald couldn’t understand some of the nouns and titles mentioned, but he saw the joy on some people’s faces, the gloom on some people’s faces, and the depression on some people’s faces , or even… anxious?
“What is this expression?”
Turn around and leaned against the fence, carefully looking at the most emotional person in the crowd, who was originally standing closest to the mayor , and as a result, someone whispered a few words in his ear and then retreated, and then it seemed to be flies into a rage for something.
In the end, he didn’t even care about the ceremony and left the venue.
The mayor is still giving a speech!
Ordinary people have no problem if they want to leave, but you, a great character like you, have a big problem with your position at such a time. You must know that other people will still insist even if they feel as bad as eating shit. Stay where you are.
Show the mayor’s face in public?
This is not a good idea.
“Let’s go, I’ve seen everything I need to see, and go to another place?”
Seeing both the Dawn and the Sea Train, Susannah is a detached character, and her mind begins to drift. To the rest of Kingbird Island.
There was no objection from the others. They were equally uninterested in the mayor’s speech, so the group left the coast directly.
I then wandered around Wangque Island for an entire afternoon, before returning to the villa slowly after dinner.
Donald packed up and prepared to go to the study to make two inscription scrolls to keep his hands feeling. Tomorrow, the official inscription scroll production will begin. As a result, as soon as he sat down, he was called out by Susannah’s voice outside.
“Come and see, something has happened to the celebration!”
Susannah’s voice could be heard clearly even from upstairs, Donald thought it was the echo from the bigger room.
Put down the writing brush, put away the scroll, and go downstairs. There are already a few people sitting at the table in the hall, Borglo is there, and only Horn Shelley is still lying in the room.
“What happened, wouldn’t the sea train just fall into the sea today after being installed? If so, it would be the biggest joke made by the government this year, and it could still be poked by the people below. It has been on the spine for several years.”
Pence said, not without taking pleasure in other people’s misfortune, he is a commoner background, and he has never looked down on those officials, even with the image of the government Not too good in his eyes.
Donald had noticed at previous ceremonies that Burns didn’t even give a symbolic applause from start to finish.
“It’s not the Sea Train…there is about the Sea Train, but not because it collapsed, but because of what the Mayor announced in his speech, the whole Sea Train project is coming up The airship project on the schedule will be fully controlled by the government!”
Susannah said a paragraph in the newspaper in a brief way, Donald raised his eyebrows, this is not a trivial matter, he vaguely remembered I have read the newspapers in this regard from Professor Cook’s office. The profits contained in the airship industry have been arguing for a long time. Didn’t expect to get confirmation in this way.
“Does the government win those Chamber of Commerce?”
Boglow’s question has always been incisive, and to people his age, compared to the flowery world outside, is always more Follow some social events.
“Of course not. The airship industry can be said to be the most promising industry in Demingham in the next few years. So many Chamber of Commerce, companies, and consortiums have begun to pay attention to the technological innovation on Whale Island. , I don’t know how much preparation, but the government has not even given them a chance to bid and they will swallow it all. It would be strange if they can bear it. You see the reports on this page, almost since the mayor Less than two hours after the speech, Demingham’s news agency immediately found the directors of several major consortiums and asked about the situation. Behavior’, ‘disruption to market rules’, I haven’t found a good word among them, watch it, there will be trouble in the next period of time.”
If the content reported in the newspaper does not Wrong, then this is an action planned by the government.
First declare to all sectors of society that the airship industry is under their control. As long as this trend takes shape, the public believes that the government has the capital and the ability to take off the airship, which is related to the future development of Demingham and contains huge implications. Economical projects, can the Chamber of Commerce still send someone to rush into the government building to overturn the mayor’s table?
The business world will naturally not fight against the Demingham government on the surface, but since some managers dare to say this to the people in the news agency, it proves that this behavior of the Demingham government has been The bottom line was touched.
Don’t forget, the consortium in Demingham is not just those small local consortiums, there are consortiums that are quite famous even in the entire Ryan Empire, and now the biggest piece of cake is about to be swallowed Now, these rich people are not the ones to sit still.
“But to be honest, this matter has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we don’t do business. When the time comes, wouldn’t it be okay to have an airship?”
Pence An observant person.
“No, it has something to do with us… At least it has something to do with the Anomaly Bureau. There are quite a few consortiums in Demingham who have their own alien teams, and their usual job is to go overseas. It’s really time to go on an island expedition, and the combat experience gained in overseas fights is equally handy in assassination, kidnapping, and intimidation!”
The struggle for interests is always the most cruel struggle, in order to hear about Jin The jingling of the pound when the bag was dropped, those people dared to do anything.
“Actually I feel like some kind of fight has started, you look at the back of this paper, the eldest daughter of the Tate family went missing during the celebration…that’s what we met in the restaurant Mathil Tate.”
Stephanie turned over the newspaper on the desktop, and in addition to the large paragraphs of text, there were two people’s heads, one was Mathiere Tate, and the other was Matilda Tate. One was the one Donald saw flies into a rage during the mayor’s speech and left on the spot.
The newspaper mentioned that matil tate should have attended the ceremony, but her silhouette was not found at the scene. A news agency reporter photographed her father, the current patriarch of the tate family, wes The scene of Leigh Tate’s anger…
In a villa in the manor area, Wesley Tate was leaning on a gilt chair and standing bowed in front of him A group of fully armed people, many of whom have heretics.
He covered his cheeks with his hands, and the twitching flesh on his face proved that his mood was not calm at the moment.
“Remember, at all costs, find my daughter, whoever dares to slack off will be your role model.”
Pointing to the man on the ground, that’s Mattie Al Tate’s squire.
A few hours ago, he was an able-bodied young man.
