The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

This is not Zhu Bin's bragging or anything. When the battleship was designed, it was repeatedly tested by the spaceship's intelligence brain to simulate sea conditions. The anti-sinking property is not generally high, and the overall strength of the keel and the hull is far more than that of this era. The ships were all much taller, and after they were built, they were carefully scanned with ultrasonic bo flaw detection to make sure they were safe.

On the other hand, Japan is more interesting. In front of my house, the warships that go out for training can be blown over by strong winds. The bridges like the "Kaohsiung-class" heavy cruisers are majestic and majestic like high-rise buildings, but they are not in the market. Steady, you have to be careful if the wind and waves are big, and you don't even dare to go to the depths of the Pacific Ocean, because you are afraid of being directly overwhelmed by a typhoon or tsunami.

In comparison, the Germans and British designed the strength and stability of the hull much better because they had to face the harsh weather and sea conditions in the North Sea. If they were modified based on their designs, would they be the same?

There is no evidence for words, this needs to be tested in battle.But anyway, Chen Shaokuan has nothing to be dissatisfied with.The large fleet he had dreamed about in his dreams, now except for one aircraft carrier, everything else will be complete soon!Even better than imagined!

In order to ensure the suddenness of breaking through the Japanese army's island chain, there was no ceremony for this departure, and even the fleet service ceremony had to wait for the fleet to return safely, which has to be said to be aggrieved.

Ship No. 201 clears the way in the middle. Six destroyers line up on both sides, very close to each other. Two supply ships are behind. In order to ensure survivability, they are equipped with high-power diesel engines to ensure a speed of more than 30 knots. Look at the shape Not much worse than the [-]-ton warship.

The square stern fleet pierced the ocean in a rhombus shape, and Chen Shaokuan looked back, with indescribable emotion in his heart.I hope that one day.The fleet under his command will be out of sight at a glance!

At ten o'clock in the morning, when the fleet was just [-] kilometers away from the Ryukyu Islands, a large group of people from the Japanese Navy Command jumped up one after another as if they had been stabbed in a chrysanthemum. They were all red, and yelled: "Hey?! The China Navy has broken through? Are you all asleep?! Why don't you know such important information at all?!"

Yamamoto 56 clamored: "Such an opportunity cannot be missed! Send out the fleet and sink them! Let them pay the blood debt of the soldiers of the empire!"

After yelling for a long time, this side only faltered to explain clearly.But they didn't pay close attention to the Chinese fleet. If they want to chase it at this time, it may be too late!The opponent has already entered the Pacific Ocean, even if a fighter plane is sent to search, it may not be where it is when it is found, not to mention, Taiwan is too far away, and the Ryukyu Air Force is too small.Fleet... Is it possible to use cruisers with insufficient cannons to risk chasing large ships with 280mm caliber main guns? !

Ri's muzzle size doctrine, which is almost deep into the bones, makes them unconsciously calculate the gap between the two sides' cannons. The ten battleships guarding the mainland cannot move, so the remaining heavy cruisers only have 203mm main guns. Can they handle the opponent? Not to mention the armor, the last time all four "Kaohsiung-class" ships were killed by this German-made 280mm naval gun, but it left them with an unforgettable memory!To put it bluntly, it is frightening!

The Japanese Navy can no longer afford another shameful setback.Without knowing the opponent's strength and whereabouts, it is very dangerous to rashly send a scattered fleet to search and pursue.

It was finally determined that the opponent was out of the possibility of pursuit, even if they immediately dispatched Sasebo's combined fleet to intercept it, it would be very stupid to hide and hide with the opponent in the vast ocean.Furthermore, it was too uncomfortable to be tricked by Zhu Bin, so after an urgent discussion.The Admiralty gritted its teeth.Decided not to chase them for the time being, and dispatched all investigative forces to keep an eye on their movements.Once they return from Germany, stop them no matter what and kill them in one fell swoop!

Yamamoto 56's eyes were red, and there was no other way but to scold the Chinese local intelligence agencies for their inaction.The people over there are also difficult to do, since they entered the water.This group of warships wandered back and forth between Qingdao, Guzhenkou, Shanghai and Zhoushan waters for sea trials, and it became a habit to go out early and return late at night.Who knew they ran to the Pacific Ocean unexpectedly? !

"Wait! Unless you hide in Germany and don't come back, you will never let it go!"

A group of Japanese admirals who had suffered great humiliation hastened to urge Mitsubishi and Nakajima to go all out to produce rough and stereotyped "Type [-]" high-speed fighters, waiting for the opponent to come again and annihilate them in one fell swoop!

On this side, the fleet diverted several times in the Pacific Ocean, bypassed several storm areas, and finally arrived at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii after more than ten days.For the visit of the Chinese fleet from afar, the U.S. Pacific Fleet warmly welcomes them as always. For the six Type 052s that clearly bear the traces of American destroyers, it is unavoidable to be a little gritty, especially the American artillery on the entire fleet, which makes them say Unmistakably quirky and gracious.

After two days of rest, the replenishment fleet set off again, sailing at high speed all day and night to the platform base in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

At this time, the scale of the platform base has expanded several times compared to the original.The original nine continuous platforms are still the same, and an "Abyss Crawler" is responsible for continuing to lift and mount the standard gold ore container, and start digging and drilling; at a place about 20 kilometers away from the southeast, there are four platforms. The "cobalt crust" mining platform, a modified "deep crawler", dragged a 60-ton body along the gentle volcanic slope to remove the thinnest [-] centimeters and the thickest [-] centimeters of cobalt crust from the rock. The surface is broken and output to the platform by the pipeline.

Fifty kilometers to the east, there are six platforms forming the "manganese nodules" deep-sea salvage team, sweeping up the nearly dense polymetallic nodules in the 6000-meter trench, and continuously lifting them to the platforms.

With this kind of mining technology, the most critical points are beyond the reach of ordinary people.At present, only Zhu Bin can fix the pressure-resistant shell and mining mechanism of the deep-diving machine, ore hoisting mechanism and pipeline, while others don’t even understand what manganese nodules and cobalt crusts can do. Woolen cloth.

About forty kilometers to the west, there are four new platforms that have just been built, and their missions are different. They are to mine a "black chimney" 2000 meters below - that is, a special product in the active volcanic crater. A large open culture device is pulled and suspended around the crater by the platform.The various institutions set up inside form a space suitable for the reproduction and cultivation of special fungi, domestication and improvement level by level, and reserve for the extraction of special active substances.

It was the first time for Chen Shaokuan to come back to this secret sea base. He saw the majestic appearance of the round-shaped platform. A group of more than a dozen [-]-ton freighters were busy unloading supplies, oil, ore, and cargo. One hundred meters high Tower cranes and huge mechanical arms are handled like living things.Immediately stunned!

After going up, Chen Shaokuan suddenly realized that Yuan Zhi of the SEALs was leading a group of fierce soldiers on duty. He stared at Zhu Bin deeply and asked, "This should be your retreat?"

Zhu Bin admitted frankly: "That's right! There is a contingency in everything, and what we are going to do is very likely to attract the siege of the great powers. We have to be more cautious. It is much better to have a back road."

Chen Shaokuan was a little disappointed, Zhu Bin in his mind.It should be the kind of generous and brave people who are generous and brave for the rise and fall of the country for the sake of national righteousness. Why did they set up a cunning rabbit and three caves first?what is this?Did I see the wrong person?

I thought about it again, but shook my head and smiled at myself, why!Zhu Bin was born in a different country, and he was willing to give up a good life and spend time and energy to help the country revive. He has made enough contributions, and he can't ask others to follow him to fight to the death. That's very immoral, if he thinks that way.What's the difference with the people in the government?

Should be content.Chen Shaokuan shook off his melancholy, looked around, and saw that the platform base at the core was up and down. In addition to the tall mechanical equipment, there were turrets one after another. There were hundreds of guns, just 150mm gun barrels It accounted for more than half.There are also many dual-purpose 127mm dual-purpose guns.As for the 20mm cannon, I don't know much about it.No wonder the Shanghai Armory was busy day and night before it was dismantled, but there was no trace of the product, and the co-authors got it here!

But Chen Shaokuan swiped his finger.Ask Zhu Bin: "This place is so close to the mainland of the United States. If the Americans find out that they have strange intentions, I'm afraid they can't stop it with these weapons?"

Zhu Bin sighed: "That's right! There's nothing we can do about it. We can only hold on for a while, and when our cannon production capacity increases, we'll be sure to get some big guys to squat on it."

Ri can't come, and it's normal not to be able to find it.Americans can't find it?impossible.It is more than 2000 nautical miles away from the coastline. In the past, the US military did not have such long tui aircraft.Now that I have "Katerina", it is no problem to run [-] kilometers slowly, and it will be a matter of time before I find this place.

However, Zhu Bin is not without countermeasures. A set of "mirage system" has been developed and is being installed. After the four surrounding platform groups are in place, first activate the system to cover up and let them fail aerial reconnaissance, and then wait for Tesla After the invention was made, electromagnetic shields and other means were added to completely cover the nearby electromagnetic waves, and large defensive artillery was brought outside. I don't believe that the Americans are willing to risk their lives to grab things.

Moreover, in the past two years, the camouflage of the platform here has also reached a certain level.The huge transport fleet has a clear division of labor. Some of them transport all kinds of grain, canned food, oil and other materials from the United States to China, and turn halfway to unload half of them. After loading various minerals, they are pulled to China, and then the refined manganese, Cobalt and other metals were shipped back, unloaded here halfway, and the fleet from Germany took them away with the gold ore, and resupplied here by the way.

In this way, on the surface, this place is a cargo transfer point. Even if you know that there are some shady trade exchanges between China and Germany, it will not make too much trouble until the fundamental interests of the Americans are not touched.

It's just that you have to hold on with your mind!

After a short stay, the fleet set sail again, directly bypassing the Panama Canal and arriving in New York, USA, for a friendly visit. After inviting the admirals of the U.S. Navy to visit, Zhu Bin followed Chen Shaokuan to Washington to meet Roosevelt, whose public support index has soared recently. president.

For the arrival of the two gentlemen, Roosevelt is actually more interested in Zhu Bin, especially since he took office, he has not only imported more than [-] million US dollars of various goods from the United States every year, but also exported various products to the United States in the past two years. The huge payment of hundreds of millions of dollars has not been taken away, part of it has been deposited in Citibank, and most of it has been directly replaced by industrial products and raw materials, which has greatly stimulated employment and exports in the United States, and has greatly helped my New Deal. .

After staying for a few days, on April 4, the fleet left New York and arrived in Hamburg, Germany on the 22th.As always, Krupp Jr. and Hans Klein came to the pier to welcome them as close partners, and several generals from the German Navy also came here with dignity and expressed their warm welcome to Minister Chen Shaokuan's visit.

Not in a hurry to go to Berlin to negotiate with the mustache Hitler, the group first came to Wilhelmshaven, saw the entire fleet that was all ready, and saw the spectacular scene of dozens of warships docking at the pier, Chen Shaokuan burst into tears. down.

Wang Wenda, who led the team to receive them, was dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant colonel, and greeted Captain Ma Han with a solemn salute, then gave Zhu Bin a bear hug, and shouted: "Boss Zhu, I miss you so much! If you don't come again, I will take the fleet back first!"

"Pay attention to your image! Didn't you see that Minister Chen is here!" Zhu Bin stared.

Chen Shaokuan waved his hand warmly: "Don't worry about me. You young people can just be casual. I'll go and see the battleship."

Impatiently, he ran to the No. 202 amphibious assault ship to check inside and out. Zhu Bin exchanged greetings with Captain Ma Han, then turned his head and grabbed Wang Wenda and asked in a low voice, "Have the units of all warships and submarines been installed and debugged?" ?”

Wang Wenda patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about my work! I have checked everything myself, and there is no problem."

"What about the ammunition supply? The Germans didn't do anything?"

"No, according to what you said, we are now in the 'mi month' period of cooperation." They didn't get enough benefits for a day, so they were reluctant to tear their faces. "Wang Wenda has been here for half a year, and he has become familiar with it in the morning. "However, torpedoes and the like can't be hidden from the Germans' equipment, and they have seen a lot of things. "

Zhu Bin shook his head indifferently: "It doesn't matter. Even if you don't want to see it, they have so many people in the base, how can they bring a few back? Properly strengthening the German armaments can also help us find The British, French and foreign devils vent their anger!"

Zhu Bin was very upset with the British and French.Especially the British, who have repeatedly tossed about things in China, if they hadn't secretly played tricks, their own development would have been much smoother, at least they wouldn't have had such endless troubles with the Japanese themselves, and made them passive all the way.Now, let the Germans put some eye drops in front of them! ! .
