My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

After Liao Mingyu returned to the Heihe base, he couldn't wait to go to the underground command room and start operating the system to upgrade the base.

This upgrade cost 600,000 points, which almost wiped out all his savings during this period, which really made him feel distressed.

However, the authority of the Level 4 system base has been further enhanced. The factory production lines can be increased by two or three times, the production speed has been accelerated by one-third, and the base's radiation area has also been expanded by nearly double.

The most important thing is to unlock the shipyard and dock, and you can build your own shipyard and dock. This is what Liao Mingyu dreams of.

At present, the Yangon area has just been captured, and the three divisions of the New 88th Army also need to replenish and rest and cannot be mobilized for the time being. The 201st and 202nd Divisions of the New Army led by Fang Jingyao have taken over the southward mission and continue to march towards the Kra Isthmus.

Their mission is to further clean up the remnants of the Japanese army and control the railway connecting Burma to Malaysia...the Iso Darling Line.

The terrain of the Kra Isthmus is complex, mostly mountainous and jungle, making it difficult to march here. The Isodarin Railway is the only land transportation line with the Malay Peninsula, and its importance is evident.

It's just that this railway runs from Bago in the north to Balang in the south, with a total length of thousands of kilometers. Especially the southern section of the line has not been maintained and has been in disrepair, and its condition is very bad.

Even after the occupation, it is difficult to repair it. At least it is impossible to use it to establish a communication line in a short time. Even the Japanese used it to transport soldiers by sea and land instead of using the Isodarin Railway.

The Kra Isthmus is surrounded by mountains and is located in a tropical area. The rainforest is plagued by poisonous insect miasma and is often hit by typhoons. The environment is even worse than the much-talked-about Savage Mountain.

If we don't rely on transportation like train tracks here and want the soldiers to march on two legs... the non-combat attrition will reach a terrifying number.

With the defeat of the Yangon Battle, the Japanese army recognized the reality and prepared to completely abandon Burma and fully retreat to Malaysia.

The railway going south cannot be counted on in the short term. At this time, the shipyard and dock that can be built after the system base is upgraded become the key.

Liao Mingyu immediately flew to Yangon after finishing the affairs at the Heihe base. The post-war reconstruction work in and around the city is still in progress, and in addition to the recruited civilians, some soldiers are also joining the effort.

Clean the battlefield, clean up the ruins, repair and rebuild... resettle many local people displaced by the war, and the most important thing is to build airports and some military facilities.

All the tedious work in this area fell on Meng Fanlao, which made this guy extremely tired and complained at the headquarters every day.

In the past, the military control model was implemented, and the military was used to manage local areas. There was no way during the war, but this was not a long-term solution after all. Once peacetime entered, how to handle local government affairs would be a headache.

It's okay to let those old brothers fight in the war, but they are basically not that good at implementing people's livelihood construction. There is too little talent in local administration.

Liao Mingyu had no choice but to transfer Ah Yi from the rear to cooperate with Meng Fangli to deal with these matters.

Nowadays, Ayi has been in the combat army for a long time, and he is already able to take charge of his own role. Later, when the new army was established, he was transferred to the Heihe base to be responsible for the training of new soldiers and the construction of the base area. He can be regarded as a conscientious person. In any case, both of them have a high level of education, and with their cooperation, they are fully capable of performing these basic government affairs tasks.

As an important seaside town, Yangon has a deep-water port built in 1852. Although it is an inland port, it is only 24 nautical miles south of Motama Bay in the Andaman Sea. The draft of the berth reaches ten meters. It is deeper at high tide, and the -ton giant ship It can also dock near the port.

After the arrival of the Japanese army, the port construction was strengthened, several berths were added, and the dock line was widened and lengthened, so that even Chaoun-class light cruisers could dock at the port.

The shipyard's dock was chosen on the right bank of the Yangon River, just across the river from Yangon Port and adjacent to the town, making transportation and supplies more convenient.

In addition, you must choose a location for a sub-base so that it can radiate around, produce necessary resources from within the base, and at the same time strengthen defense.

The branch base is planned to be built on Highland 60, 323 kilometers west of Yangon. It is also called Dagon Mountain. It is surrounded by mountains as a barrier and is not far from Yangon city.

The system also detected oil and natural gas in this area, which is relatively concentrated and is a very ideal location.

Since the branch base was located in an inaccessible mountain, the construction was quietly completed in a few days. But after all, the shipyard is too close to the city, and the initial shape of the building is too sci-fi. It is best to hide it from others to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After confirming the location, Liao Mingyu first transferred the troops stationed nearby, cleared out all irrelevant personnel within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and then let the secret service battalion take over, set up security checkpoints, strictly enforced security in the area, and also built a circle around the perimeter. It is fenced with barbed wire and wooden boards to prevent anyone from getting close to the place.

The next night, Liao Mingyu arrived at his destination alone, unfolded the shipyard blueprint in the system, and summoned hundreds of system clone workers.

In less than five hours, the facility structure of the shipyard has begun to take shape. In the early morning, the construction of the dry dock was basically completed, and the internal mechanical equipment was in place so that workers could start operating the equipment.

The clone technicians after the level 4 base are more bionic than before, and their life span has been increased from five years to fifteen years. They also have certain language and logic abilities to change emotions, can carry out simple social interactions, and no longer look so dull. He is so dull that even if he is mixed in the crowd for a short time, he cannot be distinguished.

It's just that they can still only perform professional skills and techniques. Other things or emotions are not programmed, and they can't live life like ordinary people. It can only be said that this is a fly in the ointment.

The shipyard covers an area of ​​3 square kilometers, with two dry docks and two lifting devices. It has an initial number of 1500 workers and can be used for production in the future, with a peak number of .

With the subsequent upgrade of the sub-base, the shipyard dock can also be upgraded to enlarge the dry dock and equipment production line to further improve production efficiency.

After the construction is completed, the system automatically unlocks a construction unit, a small passenger and cargo troop carrier with a displacement of 2000 tons and a speed of 11 knots. It can transport 800 soldiers plus their equipment at one time. This is what the expeditionary force needs most at the moment. thing.

Although the shipyard has been built, Liao Mingyu did not lift the blockade. Instead, he increased the martial law troops, fearing that a huge monster would suddenly appear and scare others. At the same time, the shipyard will continue to improve its equipment and technicians, and start to produce transport ships at full capacity to prepare for the southern crossing of the Andaman Sea.
