“The ramp shaft would run from the ground level of the building straight into the underground fortifications, like a tunnel with a steeper gradient, once completed, personnel, vehicles and equipment would all drive up and down from here, the overall turnaround speed would achieve a geometric increase and the convenience would be no different from the ground level.”
Ye Chen nodded: “How many workers are working down the shaft at the same time now?”
Wan Bajun said, “We are now speeding up the progress regardless of the cost, so there are five to six hundred people working at the same time, counting all types of work underground.”
Ye Chen asked, “By the way, what are the Sicilian mafia that we got back from Canada doing now?”
Wan Bajun laughed: “The Sicilian mafia are all integrated into the digging team, specialising in building underground fortifications. labour laws, as long as we don’t tire them out.”
Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh: “After all, it’s over 800 Sicilian elites, they don’t feel tired even if they work 24 hours in a row for things like killing and arson and bullying, and working 12 hours down the well is certainly not a problem for them.”
After saying that, Ye Chen asked, “By the way, what about those Hongmen’s children?”
Wan Xiaojun laughed, “Mr. Ye, the boat that the Hongmen’s children are on has not yet arrived.”
Ye Chen was dumbfounded and lost his smile.
It was true that it was a long way from Hong Kong Island, and it would definitely not arrive without more than twenty days.
Just then, the double-decker cage was once again lifted up, and as soon as the upper iron grille was opened, Hamid, wearing a red helmet, came out from inside accompanied by several generals of the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall.
Ye Chen recognised him at once and shouted from a distance, “Commander Ha!”
Shying away from his increasingly fat belly, Hamid looked over towards Ye Chen at the sound of his voice.
As soon as he saw that it was Ye Chen greeting him, he was overjoyed and shouted, “Aiya, Mr. Ye, senior brother Ye!”
Saying this, he took a few quick steps on his feet and ran over towards Ye Chen.
Quickly running in front of Ye Chen, Hamid gasped for breath while happily holding Ye Chen’s hand and asked excitedly, “Elder brother Ye, when did you come?”
“Just arrived.” Ye Chen smiled faintly, looked at his bulging belly and teased, “Older brother, you’ve gained a lot of weight recently, you seem to be living quite comfortably.”
Hamid laughed and said, “Thanks to your blessing, old brother! Now that we’re not at war anymore, all we do is sleep and eat every day, so we eat well and sleep well, so we’ve gained weight.”
He turned around and pointed to the main shaft behind him and said with an envious look on his face, “Brother, this underground fortification of yours is really f*cking awesome! That tunnel is three or four metres high, compared to yours, my underground fortification there is just a rat hole!”
Ye Chen laughed and said to him, “Don’t worry, when this side is almost built, I’ll have Broken Army arrange for it to be upgraded for you guys as well.”
Hearing this, Hamid’s hands shook with excitement as he asked him excitedly, “Old Brother, is this true?”
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, “Of course, when have I ever told a lie?”
Saying that, Ye Chen added, “Did you see those hard-working Sicilian elites down there just now?”
“Sicilian elites?” Hamid asked curiously, “You mean those working Canadian mafia down there?”
“Right.” Ye Chen nodded and smiled, “These people will be sent to you all together then too!”
