Chapter 338: Coming out to mix is to pay it back
In the war center of the Green Paint Zone, Zhao Yi and the others were struggling with where to dock the giant battleship BB63. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info This Iowa-class battleship, known as the "most perfect battleship", has a hull of 270.4 meters long, and the traversers don't know where to put it.
On the Liaodong Peninsula, there are two natural harbors in Lushunkou and Dalian Bay where large ships can be berthed, well, here we refer to the large ships of this era. At present, these two ports do not have large terminals that have been artificially expanded in later generations, and there is no way to let a giant like BB63 dock.
The Iowa-class battleship's enormous hull was not the only challenge to the crossers, as it was designed to allow it to pass through the Panama Canal locks and facilitate rapid maneuvers between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Therefore, in the design of the limit of the Panama Canal locks, the maximum width of the hull was limited to 33 meters. This elongated bow curve is good for speed, but it affects seaworthiness, and the elongated hull also affects the accuracy of the gun.
Of course, among the many disadvantages brought about by this design, the most painful thing is the design of the hull that is elongated in order to limit the maximum width of the hull, which will increase the draft of the whole ship! The Iowa-class battleship had a draft of 10 meters, which was much deeper than those of comparable displacement.
"10 meters? Your uncle, how can there be a port in the world that it can dock in this era? We're going to have to dig a hole for it, huh? "When Zhao Yi heard the draft of BB63, his braincase was about to explode.
"Dig now? Even if you plan to keep those prisoners of war on the foot, you may not be able to dig up a spot where they can dock next year. It's not as simple as digging a hole on land, and without the assistance of large machinery, it will be in vain for you to experiment with as many people as you want! Da Chen Yongqing said.
"What then? You can't just leave it out to dry, can you? Lu Xiangyang said.
"Do you have any good ideas other than hanging outside? This is a battleship with a draft of 10 meters, you should be a model, you can put it wherever you like? Hao Dajian said.
"But you can't hang it at the Dalian Bay Wharf, where there are our important commercial wharves, and there are so many merchant ships coming and going every day, it's not safe for BB63!" Zhao Yi said.
"In my opinion, let's stop at Lushun, we will directly turn the entire Lushunkou Bay into a military port, and no longer accept merchant ships to dock." Da Chen Yongqing said.
"It doesn't seem to be deep enough for BB63 to dock, right?" Zhao Yi asked.
"There is no need to dock, just park outside Port Arthur. You see here is Tiger Tail, here is the Golden Mountain Fort, and the sea surface between them is less than 400 meters. We strengthened the defense of the Golden Hill Fort, and directly turned the bay of Lushun into a large bath tub that no one else could enter, and let BB63 play in it by itself. Da Chen Yongqing pointed to the map and said.
"That's all it can do now, and it can at least shelter from the wind and waves in the sunken bay." Lu Xiangyang said.
"Lao Wang, as soon as BB63 comes, the burden on you will be heavier. Without this Big Mac, all kinds of demons and monsters have come to our side to toss, once it anchors in Arthur Bay, it is estimated that the spies will smell it. Zhao Yi said.
"Speaking of spies, have we done anything about that failed Frenchman? Malegobi's, some time ago, we cast a mouse trap and let him live happily for so long, now it's time to pay it back! For those who dare to touch the white skin of our own people, we have to kill him, otherwise we will never have peace in the future! Hao Dajian said.
"Keep an eye on it, just wait for the interim executive committee to speak." Wang He said.
"Old Lu, do you have any opinions on how to deal with this Fuller?" Zhao Yi asked Lu Xiangyang.
"Let's make a secret arrest first, find out the situation and then make the next plan." Lu Xiangyang is still a consistent and steady style.
"Secretly arrest a ball! It's about being high-profile! We're going to make a big deal out of it! Otherwise, who will be afraid of us in the future! Such a big battleship is here, and it won't accept to attack us! Chopper exclaimed.
"This time, I'm in favor of making things bigger, rendering this matter into a sinister spy case, and this time it's our turn to try the bottom line of the whiteskins. Look at the French and Russians after seeing BB63 in Maguan, do they dare to toss their plans to return Liao. Wang He said.
"Probably not, that's a 406mm gun! As for the polar bears and Gallic chickens, those small sampan warships still dare to mention the stubble of Liao? Hao Dajian said.
"Not necessarily, these two are not very good masters, and they have an innate contempt for the combat power of the yellow race. Especially the Gallic chickens, they haven't been normal since the fall of the Emperor, and you really can't tell if they will come to challenge the BB63's 406mm naval guns! Chopper said.
"Then let's make a decision first, and see if we want to make a big deal about the Fuller espionage case?" Zhao Yi said.
Fuller noticed that his eyelids had been jumping for the past few days, and he knew that according to the Chinese people, this was a bad omen. In fact, he didn't need this kind of divination to reveal himself, and he knew that his current situation was not good.
The kidnappers who had been paid off with a lot of money have not contacted him so far, and Fuller feels that his plan has been discovered by the Great Song people. He felt that the people of the Great Song Dynasty had never taken action against him, mostly because they were still afraid of their employers.
However, since a few days ago, a person claiming to be from the Great Song Exit and Entry Administration came to tell him that he could not leave Dalian Bay temporarily because of problems with his entry visa, Fuller began to feel that the people of the Great Song Dynasty did not have the same scruples about their employers as he had originally estimated, and that they were like cats playing with mice, watching themselves in this small hotel in a panic.
"Don't be too ruthless, you have to live up there! It is said that we are going to do something big this time! After talking to Wang He, Li Ruohan said to An Yanxin.
If it weren't for the S.W.A.T team that went to Shimonoseki to take charge of the security of the negotiation delegation and had not returned, Li Ruohan would not have wanted the Navy SEALs to take charge of the arrest. If you look at the things they have hanging on their bodies, can any of them be classified as non-lethal weapons? Even they themselves are a great weapon of destruction!
"Look, it's just a few scraps, and it's not like it's fun to catch them!" An Yanxin said.
It was just getting dark, and Fuller was discussing with one of his assistants in his room how to avoid the surveillance of the Great Song people and go to the dock to contact the ship leaving Dalian Bay, when suddenly he heard a movement outside the corridor, and the sound was very similar to someone covering his mouth but whimpering desperately.
"Get down and put your hands where I can see them!"
Just as Fuller was about to rush into the drawer and take out his pistol to go out to check, the people in his room were knocked open, and a group of men in black with white masks burst into his room.
Boom! Fuller subconsciously raised his hand holding the pistol, and he swore in the name of his old mother that he had absolutely no intention of resisting, and he had seen the fate of those who made trouble at the Dalian docks being shot by the bursting weapons in the hands of these people. But his knee-jerk action was defined by the SEALs as raising a gun to shoot, and a butt smashed four of his teeth off.
"Mr. Fuller, you have been arrested for espionage!" After the SEALs took control of the people in the room, Li Ruohan showed Fuller an arrest warrant.
