Chapter 267: Zhoushan Military Port

A large number of people who participated in the labor around saw that it was really Ye Feng, and suddenly, everyone cheered. Ye Feng waved to everyone, it can be seen that Ye Feng has a very high status in the minds of the general public, and everyone absolutely supports Ye Feng.

Later, Ye Feng climbed to the top of the airport command building under construction, stood on the top of the building that was already more than ten meters high, and looked at the majestic Ningbo Airport, Ye Feng's heart was also full of spirit and ambition.

"Military, once our Ningbo airport is put into use, our air force will increase exponentially." Guo Weiquan, the chief of staff next to him, was also full of interest and ambition.

Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded, looked at the direction of the East China Sea, and thought in his heart, once Ningbo Airport was put into use, a large area of the East China Sea would be within the combat radius of his fighters, and if the fleet of small Japan dared to approach, he would definitely have the strength to fight with it.

In the morning, Ye Feng, accompanied by Guo Weiquan, conducted a detailed inspection at Ningbo Airport and had a detailed understanding of the entire Ningbo Airport. In the afternoon, Ye Feng, accompanied by Guo Weiquan, took a boat to the Zhoushan Islands to inspect the Zhoushan Military Port, which was under construction.

Zhoushan Islands is not far from Ningbo, west of Hangzhou Bay, not far from the east is the vast East China Sea, there is a wide golden waterway, is a golden place to build a good military port.

At the beginning, he planned to build a large military port in the Ningbo area, and after the engineer Liang Xiaolong inspected it, he chose the Zhoushan Islands to build a large military port here, which was called Ningbo Military Port at the beginning of the design, and now. Everyone gradually got used to calling it Zhoushan Military Port.

Military ports, that is, ports used by the military, are ports used exclusively for naval vessels. It is also known as a naval base for ships to berth, replenish, build, shelter from wind and obtain combat, technical and logistical support, and is equipped with corresponding equipment and defense facilities.

The Zhoushan Islands have a wide water surface, good shelter from the wind and sufficient water depth. It can be used by large warships of 10,000 tons, and the Zhoushan Islands are isolated from the mainland, so they have a very high degree of secrecy. actually chose such a good place to build a military port.

The steamer that Ye Feng and others took departed from Ningbo Port and sailed for a period of time. The ship docked at the Zhoushan Military Port, which was under construction.

The construction of the Zhoushan Military Port was all soldiers, and none of the ordinary people participated in the construction, which was mainly due to confidentiality considerations, and the little devils would never know the way. There is a huge naval base under construction.

"Throne. You see, this is our Zhoushan military port. Before he got off the boat, Liang Xiaolong, who was accompanying him, pointed to the huge officer and enthusiastically introduced him.

"Junzuo, our Zhoushan military port is mainly composed of two parts: water and land. The waters include harbor basins, anchorages, and access channels; The land area includes land with an appropriate coastline and depth in the contiguous waters, and we are also preparing to build a medium-sized airport within the land area that can accommodate dozens of aircraft. ”

"Our Zhoushan Military Port port area is designed with wharves, water drums and other buildings, and ships docked; breakwaters, revetments and other protective buildings; repair of shipbuilding buildings such as docks and slipways; communication and navigational aids such as radios, signal stations, and beacons; facilities for supplying oil, water, electricity, and heating to ships; repair plants (institutes) for ships and their equipment; Turnover warehouse for sail cables, munitions, ordnance and other marine materials; Transportation, transportation, loading and unloading facilities, crew living, culture, sports, medical and other facilities. ”

"In addition. Our large military port in Zhoushan will also form a complete defense system with the airfield and the air- and sea-to-sea firepower system. After the construction of the entire military port is completed, it will be as stable as Mount Tai, and little Japan should not try to fight its idea. Other than that. I also propose the establishment of an administrative body in the military port to be responsible for the use, management and dredging of the port waters"

Liang Xiaolong introduced, still gushing, very detailed, Ye Feng listened to Liang Xiaolong's explanation and introduction, while slowly getting off the ship, to the base to take a closer look.

Standing at the highest point of the Zhoushan Naval Base, that is, the highest point of the Zhoushan Military Port backed by the main island, overlooking this large naval base, Ye Feng's mind can fully imagine the busyness of this area in the future, a large number of warships will come in and out, with this as the center, his own navy will gallop in the vast East China Sea, and even the vast Pacific Ocean.

……

The wheels of history rolled forward, and the time came to September 1939.

The new Sixth Army began to carry out large-scale construction in early March, and it has been in full swing for half a year, and during this half year, it has not been harassed by little devils, and with the guarantee of sufficient funds and the joint efforts of everyone, the results have been gratifying.

The efficiency of wartime is often amazing, and people in peacetime often cannot imagine that in just half a year, a large number of factories were built, and large industrial parks began to take shape.

In the civilian industry, a series of factories have been put into operation, such as textile mills, cement factories, cigarette factories, distilleries, flour mills, power plants, paper mills, rubber mills, oil refineries, steel mills and a series of factories.

In terms of military industry, the Shannan County Light Weapons Arsenal has more than doubled in size, and can produce a large number of various models of Garand rifles, Thomson submachine guns, various light and heavy machine guns, various rifles, machine gun bullets, and so on.

The artillery factory also began to carry out small batch production, which can produce all kinds of mortars, 105 howitzers, and heavy 155 howitzers have also begun trial production, and there are ready-made various types of mortars and howitzers as samples, and the artillery factory can completely imitate them, saving a lot of development time.

Automobile factories also began to produce large trucks, small cars, off-road vehicles, also copied on the basis of existing models, and armored vehicle factories also began to copy M3 half-track armored vehicles, as well as various models of armored vehicles. In a few months, the tank factory will be able to carry out the imitation of the M4 Sherman medium tank.

Ye Feng has the "Nuwa" system in hand, and he can completely imitate all kinds of equipment, and in the near future, when the industrial scale is on a higher level, Ye Feng can even exchange some weapons and equipment from the system that have not yet come out for imitation.

The weapons and equipment that only appeared in the late stage of World War II can be exchanged for Ye Feng, even if it is a little more expensive, as long as one or two pieces are exchanged as samples, large-scale imitation can be carried out.

As for the amount of technical power, it is not a problem at all, from the "Nuwa" system can be exchanged for a large number of various engineering and technical talents, all kinds of raw materials, can also be transported to Ningbo Port through a steady stream of overseas.

Max's "Pangea" company flourished, expanding its territory overseas, with large oil fields in the Middle East and large iron ore mines in Australia, and various resources were constantly transported through the fleet.

On the outskirts of Ningbo, with towering chimneys, a huge steel plant has begun to prepare for production, and after more than half a year of construction, in early September, the first furnace of high-quality steel was smelted, and the freshly baked steel was processed into various steel and transported to various factories.

The oil refineries on the outskirts of Ningbo have also begun to produce all kinds of fuel on a large scale, from aviation gasoline to all kinds of diesel, and the fuel reserves of the entire new Sixth Army have been filled up at once.

The Ningbo-Hangzhou railway has been fully opened, and several long trains carry large quantities of supplies back and forth every day. The Hangzhou-Ningbo Highway has been completely widened, and the spacious and flat highway has begun to be put into use.

Ningbo Airport has been fully put into use, Hangzhou Airport has been stationed with a large number of aircraft, fighters, bombers, and transport planes, etc., and the Second Air Force Division has long been formed and has been training for some time.

The Zhoushan military port has also begun to take shape, the main project is nearing completion, a large number of soldiers have been stationed in the military port, several destroyers, several frigates have been docked in the military port, in addition, you can also see the figure of some submarines, several submarines docked next to the wharf, revealing half of the figure.

Ningbo Shipyard has also been under construction for a few months, since it has its own naval base, the development of a strong navy is an inevitable trend, behind a strong navy, there must be a strong shipbuilding industry.

Although there is a "Nuwa" system, which can be exchanged for all kinds of warships, it is not a long-term solution, in addition, large warships, such as aircraft carriers and battleships are worth a lot of money, if all rely on exchange, it is difficult to support a strong navy.

In the past few months, the new 6th Army has hardly fought any battles, and there is hardly any meritorious service value in the "Nuwa" system; in the past few months, in order to develop the army and develop industry, a large number of weapons and equipment, a large number of industrial equipment, and various types of technical and military talents, there is very little merit value left in the system.

As the scale of the army expands and the scale of industry expands, if all kinds of weapons and equipment and industrial equipment needed in the future are still completely exchanged, the merit value will certainly be far from enough, and the development of industry and the production of all kinds of weapons and equipment by ourselves is the king.

In the past few months, the size of the newly formed Sixth Army has almost doubled, reaching more than 200,000 troops.

The entire new 6th Army already has ten standard infantry divisions, two mechanized infantry divisions, two armored divisions, one heavy artillery division, two air divisions, in addition to naval bases, as well as a series of various auxiliary units.

In his office, Ye Feng read a report, and the results were gratifying, the plan for the first year would definitely be completed ahead of schedule, and the size of the army would also reach the scale of more than 200,000 people, but there was a little worry that Ye Feng was slightly worried.

The merit value in the "Nuwa" system was only a few tens of thousands, and little Japan did not have the slightest sign of taking the initiative to attack itself, and it may have suffered a big loss in the last attack, Okamura Ninji did not dare to act rashly, and ordered the Japanese troops near Hangzhou to adopt the main strategy of defense.

There is no war, there is no merit value to be credited if there is no elimination of the little devil, thinking that there are only tens of thousands of merit points left, Ye Feng can't help but start to play the idea of the little devil. (To be continued......)
