The biting cold wind howled continuously, and the entire Tianjin Port was completely white. The thick ice was covered with white snow, extending to the end of the field of vision, as if the world was frozen.
"Woo!"
An icebreaker blew its whistle.
With the start of the powerful power engine, the ice around the icebreaker followed.
Soon, as the icebreaker started slowly, the ice broke wherever it passed, creating a channel in the vast frozen world.

Following the icebreaker, cargo ships and ships also left the port in an orderly manner.
Winter is really getting colder and colder. Every winter, this port will be frozen.
Fortunately, there is this kind of icebreaker developed by the Tianjin Shipyard. It can break the ice and keep the waterway smooth by going back and forth several times a day. Otherwise, if the Tianjin Port stops, the entire Beijing-Tianjin area will be greatly affected. Impact.
In the private room on the top floor of Wanghai Tower near Tianjin Port, Liu Xin drank hot tea and read the newspaper. From time to time, he looked out at Tianjin Port, as if waiting for something.
??Looking at the surrounding Tianjin city, over the past few decades, the entire Tianjin has undergone earth-shaking changes. Yanran has become one of the top super metropolises in the Ming Dynasty and even in the world.
When I looked up, there were high-rise buildings everywhere. The closest one was Tianjin¡¯s Shili Commercial Bank. The high-rise buildings were taller and more ornate than the last. All the expensive cars were on the spacious road.
The commercial district is bustling with people, and the wide concrete roads extend to the end of the field of vision, connecting in all directions.
¡°I haven¡¯t been to Tianjin for many years, but it¡¯s still as prosperous as ever!¡±
Liu Xin sighed, he studied here at Tianjin Royal Military Academy for three years, and he had spent some time in Tianjin.
Later, when he joined the army, Liu Xin had been overseas, starting from a non-commissioned officer at the grassroots level. After more than ten years, he has now become a major general leading an army.
Of course, to be able to achieve this step, it is natural that the huge influence of his father Liu Jin is indispensable, and the influence of his father-in-law, the British Duke, in the military is indispensable.
Although Liu Jin was a civilian official, he had a huge influence in the Ming Dynasty army. He once led the army to sweep the Southeast Asia, invade the Japanese country in the east, and conquer the Western Regions and Hezhong in the west. He was also named the Duke of Liao Kingdom based on his military merits.
There were a large number of mid-level and senior generals in the army who served as Liu Jin's assistants back then. Even Yang Yun, the current Duke of Australia, was a general under Liu Jin back then. It was only because of Liu Jin's appreciation that Yang Yun was able to show his talent. He showed his military talents and rose through the ranks, eventually expanding his territory and becoming the Duke of Australia.
There are also Ming generals such as Huo Ying, Huo Yun, and Liao Yuan who are now in the army. They were all pioneer generals under Liu Jin back then. It can be said that although Liu Jin was a civilian official, he was actually a distinguished military general.
As for the British public family, it goes without saying that they have been Dukes for generations, and the connections accumulated in the military have long been intertwined, and they have been married to other military officers and nobles for generations.
With such a tough background, Liu Xin was naturally at home in the military.
Of course, Liu Xin¡¯s ability cannot be denied because of this. His ability is also extremely outstanding, and he is excellent in all assessments. However, in many cases, whether he can stand out, in addition to ability, background and relationships are more important.
"Brother, they should be arriving soon."
Beside Liu Xin, Liu Qing looked at the time and said.
According to the first telegram, several of his brothers will arrive in Tianjin today, so the two of them from the Ming Dynasty also came to Tianjin to greet them.
¡°Compared to Liu Xin¡¯s masculinity as a soldier, Liu Qing is more like a businessman, a little more tacky.
He has been working in the industry under Liu Jin since he graduated from university. Now he is mainly responsible for managing the Daming Petroleum Company. He is the president of the Daming Petroleum Company and is in charge of the most rapidly developing oil company.
"coming!"
Liu Xin looked at the sea outside Tianjin Port. Several channels had been opened up by icebreakers on the frozen sea. On one of the channels, several ocean-going ships could be seen slowly heading towards Tianjin Port. Coming.
"Haha, I'm finally back!"
When Liu Qing saw it, he immediately laughed happily, and then hurried downstairs to Tianjin Port.When I came back, the entire Liu family was full of joy and laughter.
"Father, mother!"
"This is called a camera. It was invented by an engineer who studies optics here in South Africa. It can take pictures of all the scenes you need."
¡°This time I brought some back specially, just right for taking family photos!¡±
Liu Da and a few people carried something like a big box and introduced it to Liu Jin.
"Camera?"
When Liu Jin heard this, his eyes lit up slightly. He didn't expect that this thing was finally invented. He just happened to catch it. His whole family was here, and he just happened to take a family photo.
¡°Well, our whole family happens to be here, so let¡¯s take a family photo quickly!¡±
Liu Jin said happily.
Soon, hundreds of people from the entire Liu family gathered together, lined up in several rows, and left this most precious family portrait of the Liu family for future generations!
There were many photos developed at that time, but with the passage of time, many photos were slowly oxidized and lost. Only a few that were properly preserved were passed down to later generations. Each one was regarded as a priceless treasure by the Liu family. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
