Chapter 1793 Localization

From the perspective of safeguarding his own interests, Shigeru Sawada’s previous telegrams sent back to his homeland all reported good news but not bad news. So this time, why did he “report worries” to the military department again?

The reason is simple, Shan Renxiong's Xue Wujun showed their minions to them.

Shigeru Sawada is not stupid. From hesitation at the beginning, to helplessness in the end, and determination in the end, he had a good grasp of the position of the Fourth Division on Hainan Island, so when the soldiers led by Seiichiro Kuroda began to fight with When Xue Bingjun made a deal in private, not only did he not object, but he even gave it a push.Then, with Ouyang Yun and his acquiescence, the Fourth Division occupied the southwestern coastal area of ​​Qiongxi in a rather different way.

The old devil noticed that the Xuebing Army had bad intentions for the Fourth Division, and took relevant precautions, but he failed to discover the plan of "stealing the sky for the sun".And when the solo hero was making active preparations to dedicate a classic "battle" to the French, he sensitively sensed something was wrong, and finally decided to tear up his face and smash the cans.

At this time, the Japanese military department has become the navy that has the final say, because the focus of the navy people's work during this period is all on "tiger! tiger! tiger!", and the attack on Hainan must rely on the navy fleet, so the Hainan incident first It was shelved, and now it is selectively forgotten.If Shigeru Sawada hadn't sensed the crisis and called the police to Tojo, a considerable number of people in the Japanese military would not even have thought that there was a Fourth Division in Hainan.

Tojo originally wanted to take advantage of this to attack the navy, but in the end, Minai Guangzheng rebelled against the general. The old devil was aggrieved and blushed for about 5 minutes before he calmed down and asked, "Masters, the fourth Everyone must be aware of the combat strength of the division. If the Xuebing Army really launches a counterattack, they are no match at all? Can we just watch their entire army be wiped out?"

"I heard that Lieutenant General Zetian organized troops to build considerable fortifications in the occupied area. With these, couldn't they hold out for two months? As long as they can hold out for two months, when the combined fleet returns from the Pacific Ocean, we will It will be able to launch a full-scale attack and occupy the entire Hainan Island in one fell swoop!" said a naval general.

"Unrealistic! Gentlemen, don't forget how Jiangshan City and Pingyang County fell. The Chinese have a large-scale fire-breathing force, and this is the nemesis of underground fortifications!"

The reason why the navy has always been willing to keep the Fourth Division in Hainan Island is to eat and die, on the one hand, because it can smuggle semiconductor components from the Xuebing Army, and on the other hand, it hopes to use it as a springboard for attacking Hainan Island.Minai Mitsumasa thought for a while and finally decided: "Let them try to resist, and if they can't, they will withdraw. The Fourth Division is not good at fighting, but the level of survival in adversity is first-rate. As far as I know, Lieutenant General Sawada detained at least six ships." Ships carrying supplies—huh! Perhaps he has thought of this day!"

It was the first time for many people here to hear about this kind of thing, and someone from the navy responded immediately: "There is such a thing? As far as I know, the victory telegrams received by the base camp since last year belonged to the Fourth Division." At most, even His Majesty the Emperor often said, "Fortunately, the Empire still has an exceptionally brave and capable army"—if they were to be withdrawn, if His Majesty asked, how would we answer?"

"Isn't the Osaka Fourth Division good at repairing fortifications? Let them go to Sumatra, Koizumi-kun lacks such people!"

……

Degu and the others had originally made up their minds to resist softly to the end, but after a visit to Changbai Mountain, they discovered that the Xuebing Army actually possessed such terrifying aviation capabilities. Many people were touched and began to seriously consider counterattacking with the help of the Xuebing Army. Indigenous possibilities arise.Li Tieshu was in charge of accompanying them throughout the tour. After leaving Changbaishan Air Force Base, he immediately took the French to Haikou Naval Base, where the French were shocked again.

Compared with the old naval powers, the scale of the Xuebing Army's naval industry is not worth mentioning at all, but considering that there is no report in the world that China can build its own warships, look at the busy shipyards and the With all kinds of ships lined up along the river, the French realized that the formation of the navy by the cadet army was definitely not a whim, just for fun.

There are currently three shipyards in Haikou, among which the former Dafu Shipyard moved from Dongshan Island and now the No. [-] Shipyard in Haikou is the largest.The shipyard now has four docks, which can simultaneously build two destroyers of about [-] tons and submarines or gunboats of less than [-] tons.To the west of the original four docks, a super-large dock is under construction, and if there is no accident, after the completion of this dock, the Xuebing Army will build the first fully self-designed and fully domestically produced aircraft carrier here.

"This is our No. 350 dock. The third ship of the 'Hengshan-class' destroyer, Yandangshan, is currently under construction. The design tonnage of the ship is 33 tons, the design speed is [-] knots, and it is equipped with one..." Chen Ce, commander-in-chief of the navy, led the French to stand in front of the No. [-] dock, pointing to a ship under construction and making an introduction.

Two "Yandangshan-class" destroyers have been built. On the way to Haikou by ferry, the French had already seen the figure of their own ship "Hengshan", so although they were puzzled, they did not propose something similar to "Hengshan". Can this ship sail?” and other relatively mentally handicapped questions.Instead, he asked a somewhat cryptic question: "I don't know which country the power equipment is from?"

Chen Ce replied proudly: "Of course we produced it ourselves. The ships built by our army, from steel plates to rivets to naval guns and engines, have all been localized."

The French were secretly surprised. After looking at each other, Lu Lai asked, "Commander Chen, can we board the ship and observe?"

The welding of the hull of "Panyang Lake" has been completed, and the installation of the equipment on the ship is now in progress. Chen Ce nodded: "Of course," and then made a gesture of invitation.

After a group of people boarded the boat, Degu and others touched here and there, and then asked a few questions to the workers who were working, and soon discovered a rather interesting phenomenon-"Japanese?" Degu asked a worker who was working Workers performing welding operations.

The worker listened to the interpreter's interpretation, bowed half-bow and nodded, calling him "Hai".

Now the Frenchman was even more surprised: "Really Japanese?"

Li Tieshu smiled when he saw this, and took two steps forward to explain: "They are all captives captured by our army in previous battles. Because they have a good skill, they were arranged here to work instead of punishment."

"Captive? Work instead of punishment?" Degu repeated these two words with a strange look on his face.

The other French officers couldn't help looking at the Japanese worker carefully, and found that he had no wounds on his body, and his expression was still "normal", so he couldn't help being more and more confused.

"Are they paid?" Lu Lai suddenly asked a sensitive question.

A cold light flashed in Chen Ce's eyes, and his expression remained calm: "Of course."

Degu: "Can I ask him a few questions?"

Li Tieshu sneered in his heart: "Of course."

Degu then asked the Japanese worker, "How much do you pay per month?"

"Five school dollars," the Japanese workers answered honestly.

The salaries of Degu and others are also calculated in academic dollars, but until now he still doesn't know the value of academic dollars, so he asked: "Is it enough?"

"Enough is enough, in addition to food and clothing, we still have money to pay off our debts!"

Degu's eyes widened: "Pay the debt? What debt?"

"We have committed heinous crimes against the Chinese people, of course we must pay back!"

"Oh!" The image of Ouyang Yun sneering with his mouth curled up came into Degu's mind, and the latter's expression suddenly became exciting.
