Since this trick didn't work, the Pixiu had no choice but to get in touch with the JPJ, which had just entered the South China Sea.

Now Zheng Xuechang, the captain of the pickup, is still in Germany, and because Li Guang's asking price is too ruthless, tungsten sand has not been sold. And Claude, the German Admiralty officer introduced by Rameau, didn't know which warship to go to be an officer, and he didn't even have an acquaintance. As a result, things didn't go well. In addition, Zheng Xuechang was originally a soldier, and doing business is really chasing ducks to the shelves, and now Germany is very embarrassed.

Talking about business is just a small skill, and the general trend is the last word. Li Guang clearly knew that the European war was about to start, and when the time came, the tungsten ore would double again, and the Germans would not be able to refuse. Zheng Xuechang was ordered not to let go, so the pickup number was still waiting there.

Now Zheng Xuechang is also facing serious problems. Cannons have already been bought, and even artillery steel has been bought for more than a hundred tons. However, there is no money to buy a diesel engine, you must know that the construction of Pixiu No. 2 has now begun, and Li Guang's diesel engine improvement project is difficult, and he will have to rely on German diesel engines for a while.

Not only that, if the artillery shell production line could not be bought, Li Guang's enterprise would have no new profit growth point, and it would be difficult to maintain an increasingly large army.

Li Guang has no choice but to continue to catch ducks on the shelves. Ordered Huang Zhonghua to take a part of the people to Germany with rubber to replace Zheng Xuechang. And Zheng Xuechang rushed back to Shixiang Island and Uruguay with the cannon in advance, but he was already eager to see through the Baxia.

On 1 April, after replenishing supplies and torpedoes, the Pixiu went deep into the South China Sea with the PJP.

Now the PJP has not only added several oil pumps, but also a small crane. made it possible to supply fuel and reload torpedoes for the Pixiu. The torpedo loading of the submarine was not easy, it was all sent inside from a special setting in the front of the submarine.

The 533mm torpedo weighs one and a half tons, and it is really difficult to complete the loading work without a small crane. Li Guang has a plan to turn around and convert the PJP number to a diesel engine drive, so that although the consumption is a little larger, it can save space and can be loaded with more supplies. And now the speed of the PJP is too slow, the maximum speed is only 12 knots, and the economic speed is only 8 knots. If you change to a 2,500 horsepower diesel engine, the speed is estimated to reach 18 knots, and the economic speed is also 123 knots, so that it can basically keep up with the speed of the Pixiu. The advantages of this approach are obvious, but of course the disadvantages are also obvious, a cargo ship worth only 200,000 US dollars will immediately increase the cost by 50%.

However, among the merchant ships captured by the Maritime Resistance Army, only the PJP is worth refitting. The rest of the merchant ships are the lowest-grade dry bulk carriers. The PJP has three decks and a small number of watertight cabins, making it the most suitable for use as a supply vessel.

The Pixiu entered the South China Sea again, and Li Guang's captain's examination continued. The commander was replaced by Jeon Yonghae. However, Quan Yonghai was unlucky, and three days later, the fleet was forced to turn back.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Quan Yonghai, the main reason is that Ji Keliang's attempt to divert the attention of the Navy has not worked.

Hainan Island is now home to the 11th Air Fleet, the main fleet of the Navy. This is one of only two air fleets in the Navy.

At this time, in the Beibu Gulf, there were not only warships on the sea, but also warships on the east side of Vietnam's Haiphong Port. It is very difficult for Chinese ships to cross the blockade line. Moreover, there has now been an inventory of ships of various countries by the Navy, and the merchant ships of the United States and Britain are better, such as the Uruguayan merchant ships are now being inspected very closely. In the sky, the patrols of the naval aviation were even more intensive, and it was absolutely impossible to break through the blockade line by relying on the pitiful speed of the PJP.

I was expecting a few rainy or windy weather, but unfortunately this time God was very faceless, and it was always windy and beautiful.

The goods transported by the Guano Commercial Group have nothing to do with the military, and they can also enter the port of Haiphong smoothly. And it is useless for the PJP to enter the port of Haiphong, the French will not order explosives to be transported to China.

The recent guano trade has caused Li Guang a lot of trouble. After all, the guano business group is only a commercial group, and there is no sense of secrecy at all, and the crew not only told the guano resources of Nauru Island, but also the intelligence department of the army is eyeing Uruguay, and finally paying attention to Li Guang.

Since then, the base of the Naval Resistance Force in Uruguay has gradually leaked. Li Guang didn't expect Uruguay's affairs to be kept secret for a long time, but the longer the secrecy lasted, the more benefits it would undoubtedly be for the Naval Resistance Forces.

One of the most critical tasks of this Pixiu attack is to deliver explosives to the Gui system, and it is impossible for the PJP to pass through the blockade line of the Yue army now. While Li Guang was discussing countermeasures with several officers, Qin Zhan, the guard squad leader, interjected: "The Pixiu can also be loaded. ”

Nonsense, Li Guangzheng is about to reprimand. This kid has been getting more and more stumbling lately, and now he is aiming for the position of the deputy torpedo chief on the Pixiu.

Qin Zhan, a native of Guangxi, was one of the student soldiers who traded steel for steel when he first traded with Huang Shaohong, and he was not yet eighteen years old this year. Li Guang saw that he had learned some martial arts, and he was literate and very clever, so he accepted him as a guard and a part-time communicator.

The position of the guard is a cronie no matter which unit it is in. Li Guang's Naval Resistance Army was no exception. But this kid is a bit crazy, and the more public he is, the more he likes it. Now Qin Zhan was once again at the military meeting.

Li Guang's reprimanding words were just about to come out, when it suddenly occurred to him that this might really be a good idea.

Although the submarine has a small space, it is not a problem to load two or three hundred tons of explosives if it is stuffed. You must know that there is a gap of more than 500 tons between the surface displacement and the underwater displacement of the Pixiu. Theoretically, it can hold 500 tons of cargo. But then there is no way to adjust the outer tank.

If only two or three hundred tons of explosives are loaded, although it is inflexible, it will not affect the speed of the submarine. Of course, the danger is also obvious, and the entire submarine absolutely cannot afford the power of these hundreds of tons of explosives.

"Boy, if you dare to interject at a military meeting in the future, I will send you to Nauru to dig up guano. But forget it this time. ”

After reprimanding Qin Zhan, several people made a plan. It is not easy for submarines to load things, all of them are shipped from the small mouth of the tower, and it is even more difficult to work in the vast sea. Hundreds of people, it took two days, and a full load of 300 tons of explosives.

Immediately, the Pixiu turned into periscope depth and quietly sailed to Guangxi. The Pixiu relies on electric power during the day and dares to use diesel engines at night. After hundreds of kilometers of sea routes, I walked for three days and three nights, and I didn't dare to show the sea surface to breathe fresh air in the middle.

This time, the voyage went extremely smoothly, and it was neither discovered by the warships nor planes of the army. Even on the way, there was no shadow of the warship.

At this time, the Japanese army was capturing Hainan Island and had a base on the Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan Island, as well as in the waters of the Beibu Gulf encircled by Vietnam.

This base is Weizhou Island, a beautiful island that Li Guang visited when he traveled in the 21st century.

Militarily speaking, the island is strategically located, in the middle of the Gulf of Tonkin and only seventy kilometers from the mainland to the north.

In the initial stage of the campaign to capture Hainan Island, the army occupied it on January 15 of the 39th year, and now the airport and wharf are being built. Once the infrastructure construction is completed here, then the whole of Guangxi will be within the bombing range of the air force. And the coastal supply channels will also be completely cut off under the threat of military fighters.

Now Guangxi's shipping has actually been cut off, and materials from abroad can only be transported through the Guiyue road. Once the military base on Weizhou Island is completed, even the Guiyue Highway will be threatened. Now Guangxi's foreign goods can still reach Vietnam's Haiphong port, and at that time, Haiphong materials will not be able to enter Chinese mainland by road. This lifeline is already in jeopardy.

On the sea, it is sometimes easy to break through the blockade, like this one. On 6 April, the Pixiu successfully arrived at Qinzhou Port.
