Let that bright spring shine. The navel is empty. Good visibility and blue sky! The land of fire is fresh green, and the sea level in the distance is sparkling and calm.

This is Lushun, a seaside city in China that has experienced many vicissitudes, since the Manchu court decided to build a military port here, this port city has relied on its unique geographical advantages to enhance its military color step by step, first the Chinese navy used it as a base, then the Russian navy used it as a springboard to the Far East, and then the Japanese navy used this coastal city as a watchtower for the Japanese empire to look at the East Asian continent, until it was ended by a fierce and short Northeast Asian war.

The navy now controls the strategic port is the Chinese Navy, and since the end of the Northeast Asian War and the return of the Liaodong Peninsula lease by Japan, Lushun has become a key point in the national defense strategy of China's central government, where the central government has devoted a great deal of energy to turning the coastal city into a more modern naval base, both to protect the commercial port of Dalian not far to the north and to blockade the vital Bohai Strait, with this military port standing at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the Beijing-Tianjin gateway is impregnable.

Now Lushun has the largest shipyard in the north, and also has the most advanced salvage and rescue equipment, and it was with these equipment that the Japanese warships that were sunk by the Chinese air force and navy in the Sino-Japanese Northeast Asian War were able to be salvaged and dragged into the dock for repair.

Matching the docks and shipyards are a large number of shipbuilders and shipbuilding related practitioners, from the skilled workers of the steel mill to the shipyard ship design experts, these people together hold up half of China's modern shipbuilding industry, mention the current Chinese heavy industry, can not fail to mention the shipbuilding industry chain of Lushun and Dalian, in fact. This industrial chain has extended to the coal mines and iron mines in the inland areas, and in the past two years, many Chinese who "broke into the eastern part of the country" did not break into the green yarn tents of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning as before, but broke into modern factories, some became industrial workers, others were engaged in related service industries, and the entire Lushun and Dalian areas showed a strong atmosphere of the industrial age, choking soot, thick overalls, metallic machines and tools, wine and sweat in the taverns. The smell of foreign perfume on the dancing girl's body, the sound of pai gow colliding from some dark corners, and the various modern atmospheres, whether bright or dark, are witnessing the rise of heavy industry in Lushun and Dalian.

In this atmosphere of selfish fanaticism, people from all over the country gathered here, they came here for different purposes, but as part of this era of industrial exhibition, they were content to live here, and the way of life here is more attractive than the monotonous lifestyle of the countryside where the sun rises and the sun sets, especially the young people?

Lushun is a young city, and most of the residents here are young people, plus it is a naval base, and there are many soldiers. The whole city is not only vibrant, but also full of yang.

As a member of this young coastal city, Liu Tiezhu is now walking on the wide street in the bright spring, walking with firm and steady steps, and his hands are not idle. Holding a bottle of Shaoxing old wine in his left hand, he grabbed an oiled paper bag in his right hand, which was wrapped in a Daokou roast chicken with an attractive aroma.

Liu Tiezhu hummed a little song, with a smile on his face, no matter who saw him like this. I can also understand that he is in a good mood now.

The mood is certainly good. Just the day before yesterday, Liu Tiezhu had just been promoted to foreman by the shipyard, and his salary had almost doubled, and in the past two days, he has been in a good mood, and what makes him even happier is. Just this morning, his wife's maiden family came. In terms of seniority, Liu Tiezhu had to shout, "Uncle." Since Liu Tiezhu got married, this is the first time that his wife's maiden family has sent someone to take a look at his son-in-law, Liu Tiezhu has always planned to take his daughter-in-law to his father-in-law's house to see, but because he is too busy with work, he has not been free in the past two years, and he has not even returned to his hometown.

Liu Tiezhu's wife is Xiuning, the female nurse of the military hospital that he, a boatman boy, has been pursuing, this long-distance love run is indeed not easy, to be able to get to the present, Liu Tiezhu is lucky, recalling that year, if it weren't for the "funeral state tragedy." When the Japanese warship gave him Liu Tiezhu's head such a guy, then. Maybe today's Lushun will not have Liu Tiezhu's small family that is not rich but warm.

Now, Liu Tiezhu works in a shipyard and his wife, Xiuning, works as a head nurse at a naval hospital in Dalian, although both of them have to leave home before dawn to go to work, and they can only return home late at night to reunite. But this kind of life is fulfilling, at least in Liu Tiezhu's view, this kind of life is much better than running a boat in his hometown.

Today is Sunday, Liu Tiezhu doesn't have to go to work, yesterday I learned that my uncle was coming, and Xiuning also asked for leave at home, so for Liu Tiezhu's family, today is a day of reunion. Just now, Gan Zhongfan picked up Lao Yi at the Jian Railway Station and was calculating the time. If Huo Xing sucks the horn, then wait for Liu Tiezhu to return home. The old man may have been sitting and waiting for him to kowtow.

Thinking of this, Liu Tiezhu quickened his pace, it was most convenient to ride a bicycle, and Liu Tiezhu also bought a bicycle, but yesterday he had lent the bicycle to a worker, so now he can only move forward on foot, fortunately, his home is not far from the market, and it is enough to come and go for ten hours.

Soon arrived at the entrance of the alley, Liu Tiezhu looked at his bicycle that had been lent to his co-workers, and couldn't help but be very surprised, and hurried over, and took a closer look, it was his bicycle, which was just set up at the door, and it was not even chained.

"How can you not lock it?"

Liu Tiezhu was wondering when he suddenly heard a worker calling him.

"Brother Liu! Brother Liu! You're finally back. Let's go, come with me. ”

The worker stepped out of the hospital door, turned around with his bicycle, kicked the frame, stepped onto the car, and patted the back seat of the car.

"With you? Where to go? ”

Liu Tiezhu was a little puzzled for a while, at this time, the figure in front of him flickered, his wife Xiuning had appeared behind the courtyard gate, walked a few steps forward, and took the bottle of Shaoxing old wine and the Daokou roast chicken from Liu Tiezhu, who was stunned.

"Hurry up in the factory, you hurry to the factory. This wine and chicken, I will eat it when I come back in the evening, my uncle and I are waiting for you, be careful on the road, and watch the car. Don't ride so crazy, don't ride so fast. Xiuning said a few words.

Liu Tiezhu looked behind Xiuning again, a Middle Eastern man was standing on the courtyard gate, staring at him, the half-worn robe was very clean, and he was wearing a small black top hat on his head, but he couldn't see the temperament of the flag man.

"Old ...... Uncle. I...... I'll come back to talk to you later. ”

Liu Tiezhu shouted stupidly. Then he got into the back seat of the bicycle, and the worker whistled and swayed forward.

Along the way, Liu Tiezhu did not speak. Workers were not asked why the shipyard was suddenly working overtime. In the past, I used to work overtime. But a rest day was never canceled, obviously. There is a very urgent task that requires workers to work overtime.

Liu Tiezhu lives near Port Arthur, not far from the shipyard, but only a few minutes away. I went to the shipyard with my co-workers, entered the shipyard with the badge, deposited my bicycle, and rushed to the conference room.

By the time Liu Tiezhu arrived at the conference room, most of the foremen had already arrived here, and the representative of the army stationed in the factory was standing in the corner talking quietly to an overseer, and at the door of the conference room stood the director of the shipyard.

Soon, the foremen arrived, and the factory director walked up to the podium, and there was no nonsense, and the task of working overtime was explained in just a few words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Admiralty has ordered that starting this afternoon, all holidays will be cancelled, and all workers and foremen will work in three shifts, in consecutive shifts, and overtime. Be sure to put the finishing touches on those two battleships within five days! Ladies and gentlemen. Now that the gnawing is blowing, it is time to act quickly, and the workers on duty are already in a hurry, and the workers on leave must be gathered at once, and lunch is ready. After lunch, work will start immediately. Right now. I read a few names, and those who read the names stayed in the factory to assign tasks, and the others who did not read the names immediately went to the work area to gather the workers, whether they had lunch or not, they all gave Lao Tzu a brain to the factory. ”

The factory director who had mixed with the green forest back then did things quickly. Lihai read a few names, and Liu Tiezhu's name was among them, so Liu Tiezhu stayed. He was immediately assigned to work and went to slipway No. 1 to supervise the workers to ensure the quality of welding.

Li Tiezhu did not dare to delay, hurried to the slipway, first gathered the workers for lunch, and then quickly began to rush to work.

As a competent engineer who studied in a technical school, Liu Tiezhu knows very well what is the most important thing in building a warship, in addition to welding or welding, after all, this warship is to sail in the sea. The quality of welding must be guaranteed, and Liu Tiezhu's main task is to be responsible for supervising all welding points, and sometimes even have to go into battle himself.

The battleship that Liu Tiezhu is welding is the Japanese battlecruiser "Golden Net" that was sunk by the Chinese Air Force in the mooring yard of Port Arthur during the Sino-Japanese Northeast Asian War. The "Golden Net" was the first large warship to be hit by an aerial torpedo dropped by the Chinese Air Force in the Lushun air raid, and this warship was the largest, and the Chinese Air Force would naturally focus on attacking this warship as an important target of attack.

According to the classification of warships of European naval powers, the "Golden Net" was a battlecruiser, which was thinner in armor than battleships, but sailed faster, so it was well suited for the task of protecting overseas colonies, but it was not suitable for confrontation with dreadnought battleships.

But for the current Chinese Navy. It seems unnecessary to deliberately distinguish between battlecruisers and battleships, so this warship is actually called a "battleship" by the Chinese Admiralty. What Liu Tiezhu is repairing is a battleship, a battleship of the Chinese Navy. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the state chapter for more support
