compensate?

What kind of compensation?

Until Li Yian stood up to say goodbye, he still had some doubts in his heart.

Marshal Mai didn't say anything, nor did he ask.

Because the so-called "compensation" is to appease this guy and stop him from causing trouble in Japan. thus affecting his mission.

The colonel who greeted Li Yi'an put him in the car, then entered the First Building again, took the elevator to the sixth floor, and entered the spacious office again.

At this time, MacArthur stood thoughtfully in the room, holding a pipe in his hand, seeming to be thinking about something. When he saw the adjutant come in, he asked.

"He got in the car?"

"Yes, General, I've got him in the car."

"Very good, someone will send him the document later."

"General, this compensation seems too generous. It not only involves the factory, but also the navy's name to be retained..."

Marshal Mai said before the colonel finished speaking.

"The Navy needs shipyards, not shipbuilding in Japan. Now I need that guy to stop causing trouble in Japan. Washington... It was President Truman who suggested that I invite him to attend the surrender ceremony. Not only was he very close to Roosevelt, The relationship with President Truman is even closer, otherwise Mr. President would not have given Borneo so many supplies in a short period of time, and even personally taken care of his affairs. Maybe, one day, I may need his help."

Everything in the world is nothing more than human feelings.

MacArthur was a general, but more often than not, he was a politician who knew that sometimes something had to be done.

……

Two days later, standing in the Kure Navy Factory in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Li Yi'an couldn't believe it - this factory was given to him by MacArthur!

The Kure Naval Shipyard and the Naval Arsenal were merged into the Kure Naval Factory and developed into the "First Naval Factory of the Empire". The factory has many workshops such as shipbuilding, machine building, electrical, submarine, artillery, and pyrotechnics (ammunition). , and the Naval Mechanic Training Institute. The "Yamato" was built at the Kure Naval Factory. The Kure Naval Factory is a very large and comprehensive arsenal. It can manufacture all the equipment on the ship itself. In order to build the Yamato, Kure Factory's two armor workshops were specialized in manufacturing steel plates. Worried about insufficient production capacity, they imported many facilities from Europe. The shipbuilding industry added a large number of new equipment, including a 15000-ton hydraulic press and three 3-ton units. Acidic open-hearth furnaces, just these equipment cost about more than 70 million US dollars.

After the Allied forces landed, the U.S. military immediately took control of Wu Naval Factory and placed it under the control of the U.S. military. After all, it is extremely necessary for the U.S. Navy to have such a well-equipped factory. After all, their warships also need to be repaired and maintained here.

Because of this, Li Yian could only look forward to the factory and sigh, but now the Wu Navy Factory was given to him as a gift by MacArthur.

"This gift... although it's a little heavy, it's okay and I can accept it."

"General, I need to remind you that according to the order of the command, there are some equipment in the shipyard that cannot be dismantled and shipped, including..."

Liaison officer Colonel Phyllis introduced the areas that cannot be dismantled one by one. Most of them are concentrated in shipyards, especially the large shipyard where Yamato was built. Obviously, the U.S. Navy also needs that shipyard and its ancillary equipment. After all, the U.S. military The ships of the naval fleet stationed in Japan also need maintenance. Although it is a bit regretful, Li Yi'an can only accept it.

After all, sometimes people have to restrain their desires and be satisfied if they can transport the main shipbuilding equipment of the shipyard back to the country.

When the troops entered the Wu Navy Factory and began to demolish it, Li Yi'an came to the dock. In the docking area of ​​the shipyard, he saw an aircraft carrier.

The main body of the aircraft carrier seems to be still intact, and there are several US military officers on board who seem to be conducting inspections.

Aircraft carrier!

Li Yian turned around and asked.

"Colonel, what are they doing?"

"General, because we have attacked it several times, naval personnel are inspecting the Katsuragi aircraft carrier to determine whether it is still worth repairing."

Repair value?

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Staring at this two-hundred-meter-long aircraft carrier, it would be a lie to say that he is not moved. After all, all Chinese people have aircraft carrier plots, and Li Yian boarded the ship almost subconsciously.

As soon as he got on the ship, he could see the flight deck with the skylight opened by the bomb. Stepping on the wooden flight deck, he walked to one of the lieutenant colonels and said.

"Hi there buddy."

The colonel turned around and saw that it was an Allied general, and he saluted immediately.

"Hello, General."

"Man, how's the ship doing?"

Taking the cigarette from the general, the colonel replied.

"It is in very good condition. It is a new ship. Since it was completed, it has been staying in Wu Port on standby because there is no fuel. Although it was attacked by our army many times while on standby in Wu Port, the hull was not seriously damaged. , it’s just that the flight deck has lost its take-off and landing function, and it can be used again with a simple repair. However, you know we don’t need it, after all, we already have many aircraft carriers.”

Come on, let this guy go to Versailles.

Li Yian just smiled and said.

"So... if, if I want it to be scrapped, is there any way?"

"what?"

The colonel looked at the allied general. What did he say?

"I hope it can be scrapped. It has little repair value. Is there any way?" "General, this is impossible. It is an almost brand-new aircraft carrier."

The colonel's answer made Li Yian smile.

"I know, that's why I need it to be scrapped."

If he doesn't scrap it, I can't drag it away!

In order to prevent the Russians from using war compensation to sue the navy, the Americans directly kept all the large warships for themselves in the Japanese Navy's warship compensation, leaving only a bunch of destroyers.

The best way to get this aircraft carrier is... it's a pile of scrap metal!

No one cares about scrap metal.

"This……"

Facing the colonel's puzzled gaze, Li Yian decided to let him see what currency ability was.

"$10 million!"

"what?"

The colonel couldn't help but be stunned.

"For 10 U.S. dollars, you and your colleagues will issue a report proving that the ship has been damaged and needs further repairs before it can be used. In addition to the 10 U.S. dollars, you will personally receive another U.S. dollars. bonus!"

What is banknote ability?

Just throw money! Just knock the opponent into confusion. While talking, Li Yian really took out 10,000 US dollars in cash!

This thing works.

Ten thousand dollars!

Even a colonel cannot save so much money in his lifetime.

Staring at the cash in front of him, the colonel hesitated.

"I, I want, I want..."

Some things don't need to be thought about. Soon faced with the temptation of one hundred thousand dollars, these US Navy technicians made an impeccable report - the power compartment of the aircraft carrier Katsuragi was damaged by a bomb and further work was needed. repair.

Obviously, the US military will not repair it. Almost on the day it was listed as a "scrap ship", it was included in the roster of the Allied Forces Command as scrap iron. Of course, the scrap iron must be sold, which requires some procedures. , there is no need to alarm Marshal Mai for this kind of thing, he only needs to use his money power. Just when Li Yian used his money power to get the Katsuragi aircraft carrier.

A telegram from Sandakan forced him to end his trip in Japan early - Margaret gave birth to his child, a boy!

As a new father, Li Nian naturally had to rush back to Sandakan.

Just after he finished the meeting and explained other matters, on the way to the airport, he received another telegram. Lautrey also gave birth to a boy.

By the time the plane landed at Sandakan Airport, Hepburn gave birth to a daughter.

Having three children in two days, I have to say...it is indeed a bit of a shock, but more of a joy.

And for Borneo, this is undoubtedly a big event. What does this symbolize?

Li Yi'an's career has a successor. After all, North Borneo is a company and Sarawak is a kingdom, both of which need heirs.

Looking at the children in the nursery through the window, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little excited about the blood connection.

"This is my child!"

Two sons and one daughter. At this time, footsteps came from beside them. It was Heidi, who was more than seven months pregnant and still as slim as ever.

"Um,"

Heidi nodded, looked at the man beside her, and leaned her head gently on his shoulder.

“I will leave them a country—an empire!”

Li Yian said.

"A mighty empire!"

He had never had this desire before he had children, but now in his heart he had something - an empire, who knew?

Who says a republic is the future?

You may not have noticed that the most powerful in science fiction novels is always the Galactic Empire.

Hmm... Although it's a bit difficult, you can do it step by step.

Listening to the man's words, Heidi just said softly.

"Margaret misses you, and so do we."
