Wei waved his hand confidently: "Please rest assured, since the army was stationed, there have been more than 10,000 independent engineering units directly under the direct jurisdiction, and about 20,000 Asian workers have been recruited locally, 40,000 cheap laborers have been recruited from North Korea and Japan, plus 20,000 American prisoners of war and white prisoners, a total of 100,000 engineering personnel, equipped with various advanced construction machinery and hundreds of vehicles, and the combat troops stationed in the garrison must also participate in the construction of the project in addition to training...... In addition, in order to facilitate construction, a series of small railways connecting the wharf to the main construction sites are being fully constructed......".

Chief of Staff Li, I'll introduce you here first, and I'll see it with my own eyes later. Next, I'd like to meet with the Navy's assessment team. ”

"Yes, they're already waiting outside the door, so I'll pass them in."

After that, Li Wei personally opened the door and welcomed several middle-aged and elderly men of different colors, led by a shipbuilding major general, who had seen Nie Wenqing one by one.

Please sit down at the moment and let Nie Wenqing ask questions.

||According to the report submitted by the Combined Fleet on the preliminary inspection of the US shipwreck at Pearl Harbor, 11 US warships and 2 armored cruisers were left in Pearl Harbor, which were either sunk, sideways, or capsized, and even one of them had a large explosion and broke into two -- this situation was really completely hopeless.

"Listen to Chief of Staff Lee, there are two more warships in it that deserve a complete restoration?".

+.

The middle-aged shipbuilder rear admiral named Xiang Baojian lifted the lid of the bowl and took a sip of tea, and then replied unhurriedly: "Exactly. ”

"I want to hear about it."

Xiang Baojian smiled leisurely, suddenly put down the teacup, got up and said, "It's boring to talk to the air, it's better to take a boat to the port now." How about pointing at them one by one, which is both intuitive and clear? Staff Officer Ruo Nie felt too tired......".

No problem, right? ”

Li Wei dared to say no, and hurriedly dialed the phone to the dock and ordered the dinghy to be prepared.

So everyone took two cars, and it didn't take long for them to drive back to Pearl Harbor No. 1 Pier, where Nie Wenqing had disembarked before, and needless to say, they boarded the mobile liaison boat that was ready together. Let's go to the east mooring yard first.

I saw that the east side of Ford Island was densely packed with salvage boats with huge booms and hoists, and the boats shuttled around, and from time to time one or two divers wrapped in bloated equipment appeared, and through the gaps in the salvage boats, the huge turrets and crooked cage masts that were half exposed to the water could be faintly seen.

As soon as Xiang Baojian saw the ship, he immediately came to his senses and chattered about it.

Seven Dreadnought battleships sank in the East Mooring, from north to south: the 16,000-ton USS Michigan and the 20,000-ton USS North Dakota. 22,000 tons of Utah, 26,000 tons of Arkansas. The 27,000-ton Texas and Oklahoma and the 31,000-ton Arizona are on the ground.

On December 25, 14, most of the crew was trapped, and hundreds of bones have been found so far in salvage operations. Due to the complete damage of the power system and the serious damage to the hull and other equipment, the ship was judged to have completely lost its repair value, and it was recommended to temporarily stop salvage. Dispose of it after the war.

Although the North Dakota was also hit by a total of six torpedoes, due to the effective management of damage, the hull was once controlled to tilt, and finally lost power. Abandoned and sunk by the American side. The assessment team believes that the ship's power system has been completely damaged, and the hull has been damaged to a certain extent, but it is not completely irreparable. Artillery and other combat equipment have not been damaged much, and after the drainage and leakage plugging work is completed, it can be changed into a floating battery and moored in Pearl Harbor to assist in the operation of the coastal defense battery.

On that day, the USS Utah ate a total of eight torpedoes, one side tilted to the bottom, but did not capsize and buckle, after careful investigation and analysis by the assessment team, it was found that the engine was not damaged much, half of the boiler was still usable, and most of the combat equipment was intact, so it seemed that it could be converted into a low-speed heavy gunboat.

"How low is it?" Nie Wenqing broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"It's estimated to be under 14 knots."

"Well, so you can't keep up with the big fleet, and you can't even run the old warships, so you can only do some miscellaneous work for shelling the opposite shore?"

"That's right. Although it is not impossible to completely replace the power system, it is not worth it, whether it is firepower or protection, the overall performance is completely outdated, even if it is completely repaired, it cannot be put into the first-line ship, but it will cost a lot of materials, and it will occupy the precious large dock for a long time, affecting the construction of new ships and the maintenance and transformation of first-line ships. ”.

(

Xiang Baojian didn't care either, and he was as big as a few treasures.

Later, the port deck of the Arkansas, which had eaten nine torpedoes, was submerged and did not capsize, but the power system was seriously damaged, but 4 of the 6 twin 12-inch guns were still serviceable, and it was recommended to be reclaimed and replaced with a floating battery.

Later, the larger and newer Texas only ate six torpedoes, although the tilt bottomed out, but the power system was not damaged much, the main structure of the hull was still intact, the 5 twin 14-inch main guns and most of the combat equipment were basically intact, and the level of protection was high.

After that, the Oklahoma, which is the equivalent of the Texas, was very unlucky to eat ten torpedoes in a row, but it was very lucky to sit vertically on the bottom, and did not cause serious casualties, but the power system has been completely damaged, the hull is seriously damaged, and it is no longer capable of navigation, but the weapon system is still barely usable, and it is recommended to fish it up and replace it with a non-powered floating battery.

The damage is similar to that of the Texas, and its advanced defensive design 43 long-barrel-inch main guns are far higher than those of the Texas, so the evaluation team strongly recommends that priority be given to the repair and modification of this ship to make up for the lack of construction capacity of our ASEAN capital ships.

As he spoke, the dinghy had turned around the northern tip of Ford Island, splashing jade Huaqiong all the way, and before he knew it, it had sailed to the west mooring.

There is only a thin, stunning, non-mainstream salvage ship parked here, almost a world away from the bustling East Mooring, and it is completely impossible to hide the wreckage of the stray ship on the west coast of Ford Island.

On the 25th, four old warships of the U.S. Army were buried here: the 10,000 Jersey and Georgia, and the 16,000-ton Louisiana and Minnesota.

I things are destined to be cumbersome when they are fished up, and His Majesty has no interest in them. ”

"That...... At least the Georgia ...... "Xiang Sword" doesn't seem to be enjoyable.

"That's enough, a detailed written report, someone in the base camp will review it carefully, I just understand it on behalf of Your Majesty, and I don't have to talk about it to the point of leakage - in short, hard work."

With that, Nie Wenqing stood still and bowed deeply to the assessment team.

It was at this time that he only represented himself.
