Nowra, April 7, 1941, AD 2782.
Nowra is a small city in Australia, located on the south bank of the Shoalhaven River, about 12 kilometers from the river's mouth and 120 kilometers south of Sydney.
Before World War I, the area was dominated by small workshops such as dairy products, meat processing, and papermaking, with less than 3,000 residents.
After World War I, the land near the sea was bought by the British Earl Desmond, who set up several large-scale dairy and meat processing plants, built a dock, and connected a private branch railway to the main site.
On the main line.
Speaking of the Earl of Desmond, he is also a legend in the UK.
It is said that this old man's father is the son of a run-down Earl, and he is not the eldest son, and both his parents passed away when he was a teenager.
Desmond left home and wandered around the world in Southeast Asia and China, but then he stepped on shit and started to get lucky.
First, he hooked up with Xingke Group and became an exclusive distributor of new products such as ballpoint pens and lighters.
He quickly made money from this.
In 1909, he returned to England with a large sum of money and opened a "Godzilla" trading company in London, specializing in various products of Xingke.
In particular, he made a fortune by reselling special medicines from the star industry and speculating in rubber stocks, and he was also connected to the upper class.
The main reason was that his uncle who inherited the title had only one daughter.
He believed that only Desmond could revitalize the family business, so he assigned the inheritance rights to him.
Well, according to the gossip in London's upper class circles, the earl had been poor for a long time, and after receiving a large gift from his nephew Desmond, he "sold" his title inheritance to him.
A well-informed source said that Desmond spent 500,000 pounds and 5% of the shares of Godzilla Company to obtain the inheritance rights to the title.
Of course, the distinguished Lord Sir Alex and several relevant people do not admit this.
But in any case, this change of successor has been notarized by the House of Lords and approved in person by several parties, and is legally binding.
So after the old earl died in 1911, Mr.
Desmond became a noble nobleman and a serious British earl.
Later, the business of Godzilla Company grew bigger and bigger.
Before World War I, it had become an emerging consortium involving many businesses.
Especially during World War I, he almost monopolized the British black market by reselling various special drugs such as sulfonamides and various foods, making him as rich as a pig's head.
In the 1920s after World War I, the Godzilla Consortium had become a very important player in the UK, ranking among the top five consortiums.
With his strong financial resources and his title, Desmond is even more powerful.
Moreover, the title of his family also has a good background, and he can also have some relatives with the British royal family.
In the past, no one cared about it when it was shabby, but now it is different.
It is a real high-level aristocrat, not only in the upper class circles, but also in the upper class.
Even the royal family was impressed by the number of nobles and nobles.
This distinguished lord also bought a lot of land in Australia.
He liked the scenery of Nowra, so he built a holiday manor here and stayed there for a few days every year.
Of course, the Australian government would not dare to neglect such a noble man as him.
The small town of Nowra has almost become his private territory.
Even after Australia became independent, he adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards it.
Lord Desmond is a major local taxpayer, and those officials are also fed by him.
How could they not provide convenience?
2am.
The sea surface in Nowra suddenly felt like a pot was boiling, large bubbles emerged from the sea, and the calm sea surface was rolling.
But no one paid attention to this at this time.
A few minutes later, there was a "swish" sound, and a giant whale-like object rushed out of the sea with a large puff of water mist.
Then there were several more "swish" sounds, and several similar objects emerged from the sea.
Five large submarines appeared on the sea outside Nowra Harbor.
The largest submarine in the lead began to emit an invisible wave of radio waves.
"They are here, ready to pick up goods and people," Desmond closed the cover of the mobile phone in his hand and calmly ordered the people around him.
More than a hundred people who had been waiting at the dock immediately started to get busy.

The people who participated in this act were all Desmond's confidants.
They were either cyborgs or British or Australian people who had been successfully brainwashed.
Those who could not be trusted were replaced.
"Oh, it's so big."
Under everyone's surprised eyes, a submarine as huge as an island slowly sailed towards a closed dock.
After it stopped, a ramp truck on the dock drove over, lowered the ramp and leaned against the submarine.
This is a very large submarine, and there is no identification mark on the submarine's control tower.
This is China's Type 908 "Walrus Class" ocean transport submarine.
It has a total length of 150 meters, a total width of 16 meters, a surface displacement of 15,000 tons, and an underwater displacement of 28,000 tons.
The appearance of this submarine is very different from common attack submarines.
Its hull is thicker and looks like a large ham sausage, and the conning tower bridge is moved forward.
In addition, the back of the boat has a rectangular structure that accommodates the cargo hold from behind the command tower, extending to a quarter of the tail.
It is a bit like the Soviet Union's Delta-class submarine in the original time and space, but the raised structure is longer. , this arrangement is naturally for ease of transportation.
Of course, the biggest difference is that its hull cargo section has a hydraulic cargo door that can be opened effectively on the back of the boat, which can be opened when the submarine surfaces.
Inside is a 480 cubic meter cargo warehouse with a length, width and height of 12x5x10 meters.
Each cargo warehouse can hold 8 standard containers, and there are a total of 16 such cargo holds.
In other words, the "Walrus Class" can transport 128 containers at a time. , or 7,680 cubic meters, or 8,000 tons of materials.
This design has a high safety factor.
If all the cargo space is unfortunately flooded, the water-filled cargo compartment will only weigh 7,680 tons, which will not exceed the load capacity of the submarine and will not cause the submarine to sink.
In the middle of each two cargo holds, there is a lifting crane that is usually stored in the hull and can lift 50 tons of cargo.
It can lift cargo independently in ports lacking equipment or on the sea.
This kind of design is naturally for the purpose of concealment, because many of their tasks are invisible, and it is impossible to load and unload in a large port with good facilities, so it is necessary to bring your own crane.
In addition, since we are doing shady things, a warehouse that can be opened and closed quickly is necessary.
At present, China has built a total of 12 "Walrus-class" large transport submarines, as well as 12 smaller Type 904 "Manatee-class" transport submarines with a displacement of 5,000 tons.
Since their birth, these 24 submarines have been active all over the world, delivering various humanitarian relief supplies to the oppressed people of various imperialist colonies, people who have been illegally invaded, and any people striving for independence, freedom and human rights. .
From Africa to South America, from the Arctic Ocean to the Indian Ocean, they have left their presence everywhere.
They are like the embodiment of justice.
Wherever there is injustice, oppression and aggression, there are manatees and walruses.
They played an extremely important role in conveying all kinds of positive energy in the colonial independence movement after World War I.
Sending various humanitarian relief supplies to anti-colonial, anti-imperialist and anti-feudal freedom fighters in various places, including, of course, picking up and transporting freedom fighters from various places.
And these submarines with outstanding merits do not exist in the Chinese navy.
That's right, they don't belong to the navy, but to various righteous civil organizations, such as Decepticons, Nod, Amalgam, etc.
What a group of unknown and unknown heroes.
Of course, the work these submarines can do is not limited to transportation.
They are also diving supply ships.
There are 6 ships belonging to the Navy.
In addition to storing single cargo, their warehouses are designed to accommodate various containers.
In addition to cargo containers, there are also diesel and fresh water tanks, battery cabinets, torpedo cabinets, and mine cabinets. , food refrigerated cabinets, etc.
The warehouse has pre-set pipelines for power input and output and water and oil pumping.
Oil pipes can also be used to refuel friendly ships, or a crane can be used to replenish food and torpedoes for friendly ships.
This is a highly modular submersible supply ship, the only one of its kind in the world.
In addition, this kind of transport submarine can also be used as a combat ship.
You only need to replace the contents of their cargo bay with modular missile launch cabinets or rocket launch cabinets, or even turrets, and you will be a proper combat submarine.
Of course, due to design limitations, it still has to float before it can be launched.
However, this is only theoretical, they are mainly responsible for various special and supply tasks.

The port in Desmond is a completely private port, and the location where the submarine is parked is a fully enclosed dock with high walls around it.
From the outside, you can't see what is going on inside.
"Bang", the watertight door of the submarine opened, and a group of people wearing sailor uniforms came out.
Desmond hurriedly greeted him, and the two sides communicated in low voices on the dock.
Not only did the submarine not have any identifiable markings, even the clothes worn by the people on the submarine did not have any identifying markings.
Even their conversations were in English, and their appearance was even harder to judge, because there were all kinds of people among them.
The old man with white hair in the leader had a typical yellow-white mixed-race appearance.
"Your Excellency, long time no see."
Mark smiled and stretched out his hand.
This man was one of the people who joined Wen Desi with Li Ang, and he was assigned this job later.
Now that he is a senior cadre of the Amalgam Organization, there is generally no need for him to run in person.
"Mark, we haven't seen each other for ten years.
You are getting old, hahaha."
Desmond smiled and hugged him.
"I didn't expect you to come here in person, and you are still doing this now" "Hey, this shipment is very important.
I'd better keep an eye on it to be safe.
There won't be any mistakes."
Mark and Desmond are old acquaintances.
He used to often deliver goods to the Earl, with a wide variety of goods, including black, white, and gray.
The two leaders were chatting and reminiscing about old times, but their men were not so free.
The people on both sides are all veterans.
This is not the first time for everyone to do this kind of thing.
There is no need for superiors to direct them, they just do it by themselves
