After the merchant ships were attacked twice, the escort fleet had been cruising in the Pacific Ocean, and this time the navy did not dare to withdraw the fleet without authorization. In this way, it not only restrained the strength of the navy, but also consumed a large amount of military expenditure of the navy. But it's hard for the pickup to have a chance to sneak attack.

In September of the 38th year, a piece of good news came. Huang Zhonghua took a business. It is said that 4,000 tons of lead, copper, nickel and chromium and other precious metals were transported from the United States to the mainland.

After Huang Zhonghua registered a shipping company in the United States, he had completed two orders of transportation to Yuben, but the value of the goods was too small and he did not do it.

Huang Zhonghua has an official identity in the United States, but he is now pretending to be a descendant of the United States-born Yueben. Since he was born in the United States, there is a good explanation for his stumbling language. (During the half year of transporting bird droppings, Huang Zhonghua still learned a lot of Chinese language.) ）

Through two normal transportations, the shipping company has a good relationship with the company. Since Huang Zhonghua's asking price is very low, he is naturally willing to use Huang Zhonghua's ship, let alone a descendant of Huang Zhonghua. Moreover, Huang Zhonghua's ship was equipped with six 75mm guns, and the force was comparable to that of a warship, and he was even more satisfied.

The third business was naturally obtained, and Huang Zhonghua immediately sent a report to Li Guang. Li Guangxi immediately sent a pickup number to pick it up.

This robbery went much more smoothly than the previous two, and even a shot was not fired.

Zheng Xuechang put the robbery site on the Atlantic Ocean, and the merchant ships did not cross the Panama Canal at all, and did it in the Caribbean.

That night, Huang Zhonghua took out a box of good wine, and as a result, not only the drunkard captain, but almost everyone was drunk. The result was obvious, and by the time the men woke up, the ship had been fully controlled.

Zheng Xuechang, the captain of the pickup, did not feel sorry for the American sailors, so he casually threw these people on an island and reef, and only sent a telegram to the American newspaper half a month later. With enough food and water, Americans don't starve. And the fleet has long disappeared into the vast ocean, unloaded in Uruguay and set sail again.

Although the value of this shipload is not as high as the last time PlayJP loaded, it is worth a full two million dollars. Li Guang only left more than 1,000 tons of lead in Uruguay, and resold the rest to Germany. Earned a full $1.5 million.

With this foreign wealth, the Maritime Resistance Army really got rid of its financial difficulties.

When the news of the hijacking of a merchant ship reached the United States, the United States was in an uproar. When the American crew returned to the United States, the wind changed again. The crew had words in their mouths, Lord, punish the black-hearted merchants. Selling supplies to Yue himself is killing Chinese, and the American businessmen who do business with Yu himself are executioners. Reporters were deeply interested in this, and immediately dug deep into the potential, and some people even had an excessive sense of justice and began to criticize the US trade policy toward Ben.

This is Huang Zhonghua's masterpiece, and when he threw down these Americans, Huang Zhonghua left this note. Fool the Americans, recite it sincerely a thousand times a day, and a ship will come to pick them up.

Where do Americans believe this set of nonsense, but people always think cranky in a closed environment. For the first few days, no one read it, but looking at the sea all day, the food was decreasing day by day. The crew began to be dead horses and live horse doctors, chanting these few words.

When I found that it didn't work, I began to look for my own problems. There must be someone who is lazy and doesn't read it enough.

So there was mutual urging. If the results still don't work, then continue to dig deep into your heart. Someone must be insincere.

As a result, under this kind of self-hypnosis and self-coercion, these people chant these words all day long.

And on the twentieth day, God really appeared, and a U.S. [***] ship appeared and rescued the crew. And these unreasonable nonsense words were regarded as the Bible by these crew members and repeatedly sung them.

In the years that followed, several of these crew members turned into famous anti-propaganda fighters, which was not expected by the initiator Huang Zhonghua.

And the side lost a ship of valuable commodities again, and the navy was about to cry at this time, the Pacific Ocean was not enough to toss, and now it has run to the Atlantic.

On the Atlantic coast of the Americas, Xiao Yue didn't have any tricks at all, but this place was the world of Americans. If the Navy appears on the Atlantic coast, then the United States will absolutely not sit idly by.

He said that he did not dare to offend the United States at present, so he had to strengthen the protection of merchant ships as much as possible.

Not to mention that he has a headache and has money in his waist, Li Guang can finally start some of his follow-up plans now.

The first is to build a gunboat that can actually fight. The full load displacement is small, six hundred and fifty tons, and the endurance is only two thousand nautical miles.

The gunboat, which was less than five hundred tons when unloaded, was actually able to row into the ranks of the boats. (Navy ships are limited to 500 tons, with ships above 500 tons and boats under 500 tons.) Don't look at the small size of this ship, but the design is very good, and the cost is also very good.

Just by looking at the configuration, you can see that its combat effectiveness is definitely stronger than that of the pickup number. It was powered by two 2,500 horsepower German-made diesel engines. The main guns were expected to be one 152mm cannon (not yet purchased) and two to four 88mm guns. Two or four 533mm torpedo launchers.

On this ship, Li Guang used carburized steel homogeneous armor for the first time.

It is expected that the gunboat will cost more than $500,000 and reach a speed of 32 knots.

The design of this gunboat is still Li Guangchu's idea. And the idea actually came from a tank. Li Guang found that the designers of this era for some unknown reason designed the tank to be tall and mighty. Don't you know that only being low can avoid blows better and survivability is stronger?

So one of the most important indicators of this gunboat is to be short enough. Moreover, the turret and the cabin are all round arches, and there are almost no flat decks. Have you ever seen a fishing boat in the south? By the way, that's probably what it looks like, in the middle of the ship is an armored vault. As a result, the biggest feature of this warship is not anything else, but the center of gravity is low enough, and the firing platform is quite stable.

In order to solve the problem that the hull is too low, the view is not far enough. A 20-meter-high telescopic mast was built at the rear of the ship, on which personnel could be arranged to observe.

Originally, Li Guang planned to name this battleship Turtle, but unfortunately most people hated this name, and finally named it Tsuna. Actually, it's still the same thing that carries the monument. Later, someone had an opinion, the words were not easy to recognize, and many people did not know the pronunciation. (bixi), so he called another alias of the scumbag - Baxia.

Although the Baxia is small, it is the first warship of the real meaning of the Naval Resistance Army. Despite the small displacement, the process difficulty is not low, far exceeding the technical requirements of a 4,000-ton dry bulk carrier. For the time being, there is a lack of artillery, so the hull can only be started first, and in fact, it will not cost much money in the early stage.

Li Guang's second move was to start making thermodynamic torpedoes. In several battles, Li Guang discovered the defects of the electric mines, and the range was too close. It's good to use it for submarine sneak attacks, but it's very impractical to use it on surface ships.

In this product, Li Guang's level has not been able to improve the fundamental surname. However, the twin-cylinder engine originally designed by Ramo was changed by Li Guang to a five-cylinder planetary engine. This thing was remembered by Li Guang when he saw the seized seaplane. Although this aircraft used liquid-cooled engines, Li Guang knew very well that most of the fighters in World War II were planetary engines.

This thing should be said to have high technical requirements, but it is not difficult to design. With the efforts of the engineers, it was quickly designed, and all the drawings were sent to the United States for processing. It is expected that the finished product will be available around October.

This torpedo, thanks to the planetary engine, has a great increase in power, and the speed is quite good, which can reach more than forty knots. Correspondingly, due to the great increase in engine power, the consumption of fuel and oxygen is extremely large, but the range is not so ideal, estimated at about thirteen kilometers, and the disadvantages are also obvious, not only the trajectory is obvious, but also the noise is very large.

The third move was the tank, and in the absence of engines and artillery, trial production of the first began began.

This tank has a total weight of about 25 tons, and was named Tiger Tank Type 1 by Li Guang, referred to as Tiger 1 Tank. But whether it will succeed in the end depends on how the engine and artillery process goes.

Don't look at Yan Qi Shun'er, Li Guang didn't dare to expect a success, practical weapons on the battlefield can not be perfected in the laboratory, not to mention the actual combat on the battlefield, at least a lot of tests have to be done, such as cross-country and so on.

This one was built only to make technical reserves later. The track and suspension system of this tank is really from the hands of Li Guang, and I dare not say anything else, the structure is definitely more reasonable than the tank of this era, taking into account the strength and greatly reducing the noise. And Wu Bai's millimeter-wide tracks make this combat vehicle off-road surname certainly not too bad.

The first step of one of the most promising investments came in October of '38, when the assembly of the two diesel engines began with the arrival of parts purchased from the United States and Germany. Li Guang spent $300,000 on the experiment of two diesel engines, and it took a lot of energy to toss and turn in the middle, and it was not until the middle of the 39th year that the prototype was basically finalized, and at that time, Germany was already preparing to invade Poland. As a result, almost all of these two diesel engines were American-made parts and components, and Li Guang was only responsible for manufacturing the PT fuel system and assembling it.
