Seeing the foreman's stunned and dazed appearance, Luo Yangyi felt that his face couldn't hold it, and waved his hand impatiently and said; "Okay, you go and get busy, you still have to grasp the matter of post technical training, and excellence is the last word."

"Got it, sir."

Luo Yangyi watched the foreman leave, took out his gold pocket watch and looked at the time, it was already 11:49, and the dock would be off work in more than 10 minutes, and it was time for the lunch break.

He walked towards the slipway where the 9th ship was built, and there were many long, snake-like high-pressure gas pipes on the concrete floor, which he carefully stepped over to prevent him from slipping on it.

Walking under the slipway and looking up, there were already many workers packing up their tools and coming down from the iron ladder sporadically, Luo Yangyi did not climb up in a hurry, but stood in the shadow of the slipway and waited patiently.

It didn't take long

Seeing the figure of the officer of the Navy Representative Office, Luo Yangyi took a deep breath and hurriedly stepped forward and said enthusiastically; "Oops...... Sir Li, you have worked hard, you are really loyal to your duties, the shipyard guest house has prepared lunch, let's go over and eat a little, shall we? ”

"Don't bother, let's just eat a little here, and we'll continue to check in the afternoon." Lieutenant Colonel Li Sixian came down from the iron ladder and patted the ashes on his hands.

"There must always be time for eating, a lunch break of an hour and a half, there is no place to sit after eating in this factory, and there is no place to stand, so let's go to the guest house to take a rest, it will definitely not delay the afternoon work."

"Uh...... That's okay, Xie Luo is gracious, so we might as well obey our orders if we are respectful. Lieutenant Colonel Li Sixian felt that it made sense and was relieved, eating a meal was not a big deal.

Luo Yangyi breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and said with a warm smile on his face; "Chief Li is too polite, it's just a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about, please ...... here"

After speaking, he accompanied a few officers to the distance, the slipway is in the production area, the shipyard guest house is in the living area, the middle section of the road is not close, it takes more than ten minutes to walk over.

Lieutenant Chen Mantun and Second Lieutenant Tie Xiong followed from a distance, sweat stains on the backs of their white uniforms, and it was uncomfortable in the stuffy and cramped cabin, and both of them were sweating a lot this morning.

Second Lieutenant Tiexiong asked with some puzzlement; "Hey, Brother Mantun, what did you say happened to our deputy director today, it's like taking a big tonic?"

"Who knows, follow the commander's orders, anyway, we can do whatever the commander arranges." Lieutenant Chen Mantun looked at the commander in front of him and shook his head.

"We don't have anything, it's just that these guys in the shipyard are going to suffer, I wrote down more than 20 pages of rectification measures this morning, and in two days to hoist the ammunition depot bomb equipment, I estimate that the shipyard will be more difficult to pass, and I'm afraid it will delay the construction period if it goes on like this!"

According to the strict regulations on the construction of warships, the construction of the next step cannot be carried out without the approval of the Navy Representative Office.

For example, if the ammunition depot bomb delivery equipment installation audit is not passed, the upper steel plate cannot cover the installation, the upper layer of bulletproof armor steel plate cannot cover the installation, and the subsequent main gun seat cannot cover the installation.

"Hey...... I have this concern as well. Lieutenant Chen Mantun sighed lightly, shook his head and didn't want to talk about this topic, and suddenly asked;" By the way, what did that guy Li Zhong do with you yesterday? ”

"What else can you do? Let's chat and fart, say that we are invited to drink, I told him to talk about it when he is free, when did this stingy ghost become generous? ”

"I guess it's not him who is entertaining, and someone else is paying for it."

"Almost, when he was in school, this guy loved to brag, he loved to show off, and when he played behind us, he always showed off outside and filled his head, I don't know if this problem has changed?"

"Huh...... I guess it's hard. ”

"Brother Mantun, I think so too, hahaha...... So what about answering him? ”

"Why don't you go and ...... if you have a drink? Just to distract yourself. ”

"Okay, then I'll make an appointment."

Talking about Li Zhong, there were knowing smiles on the faces of the two of them, there are so many people who graduated from the Eagle School, even if they are in the same class, they can't all know each other, only in the small circle of good play can they know the roots, and the range of communication in their youth is so large, they are basically unfamiliar with it when they leave this student squadron.

Of course, the squadron leader is to select the person with the best learning and high prestige, Chen Manchu is the student squadron leader, he was very good when he was a student, Tie Xiong is the squad leader, and Li Zhong is one of the students of Tiexiong's team, and he has no position.

In the evening, the sunset is full.

The shipyard workers who got off work gathered on the main road of the factory, and the pleasant bicycle bells rang into one, and the chirping and laughter flew into the sky, which was really lively.

Workers wore uniforms emblazoned with the word "Red Mountain" on them, and their faces carried the joy of coming home from work, some riding bicycles, and some walking to the factory gate.

According to the factory regulations;

Horses are not allowed to enter the factory and can only be kept in nearby livestock sheds to prevent these animals from defecating everywhere and affecting the internal environment of the factory.

Bicycles are generally favored by workers because of their convenience and price advantages, and more than half of the workers ride all kinds of bicycles in the crowd of people who get off work, converging into a wave of bicycles surging forward.

Among these bicycles, the beautiful and sunny "Phoenix" brand bicycles and the heavy-duty "Labor" brand bicycles are the majority, and female workers and male young workers especially like "Phoenix" brand bicycles, while some men who have a family prefer sturdy and heavy-duty "Labor" brand bicycles.

The girder and back seat of this bicycle are made of thick steel pipes, usually carry a grain bag, buy a sheep, carry a bag or firewood bundle can be competent, sit on the back seat of an adult is also light and clever, the bicycle girder can also take two children, it is really versatile, and the practicality is very strong.

Greet the cool evening breeze by the river

Lieutenant Chen Mantun and Second Lieutenant Tie Xiong strode forward side by side, their arms swinging back and forth rhythmically, and the two of them walked out of the sonorous and powerful queue rhythm.

They began to enter the Eagle School to receive militarized management when they were more than 10 years old, and today, more than 10 years of good military literacy has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, walking upright, arms waving vigorously, shiny leather shoes step rhythmically.

They came out a little late, most of the shipyard workers who had left work had already left, and there were still pedestrians on the road, watching the two officers come with a strong stride and a look of envy.

The Hongshan Shipyard is a huge shipyard, with slipways lined along the north bank of the Brisbane River, tall rails standing majestically in the sunset, and steel ships under construction showing industrial beauty, a harmonious picture of iron and fire.

The two officers walked all the way and stopped near a dock not far from the factory gate, where they caught their attention to the "mosquito" patrol boats that were being loaded, which were being hoisted one after another onto a 10,000-ton ocean-going bulk carrier.

The development of the "mosquito" patrol boat so far, because of its wide applicability by the territory at home and abroad is generally loved, in order to develop a total of 7 types of A, B, C, D, E, F, XIN, displacement from the largest 380 tons of "mosquito" type A boat, to the displacement of only 80 tons of "mosquito" type Xin boat, has been built more than 240 units, widely distributed in the overseas territories and the Australian mainland, for the implementation of daily patrols, fishing protection, anti-smuggling services, and can transport personnel and equipment, logistics materials, transport combat members, It's almost anything.

The displacement of the largest 380-ton "mosquito" type A boat is divided into two types: the enhanced firepower type and the ordinary type, and the enhanced firepower type is equipped with two 95 mm "Miss Australia" guns and two new Makqin heavy machine guns, which are mainly used in Borneo and Okinawa Marine Police Districts, which are relatively complicated situations, and are a cheap and easy-to-use naval equipment.

The ordinary type has half the firepower and is used in Shangri-La Island and the Australian mainland waters, focusing on strengthening sea trials and cruising range, and can perform patrol missions on the sea surface for 7~9 days.

The small displacement of the "mosquito" type boat, Xin type boat is mainly used in the African colony of Mozambique, relying on the Zambezi River basin with a dense water network, the small patrol boat with a very shallow draft can directly go to the shore of the beach, and the use is very flexible.

For example, the 80-ton Mosquito Sim boat cost only £1,360 and is equivalent to a heavy 4-wheel tractor of the Iron Bull brand, with a draft of only 0.8 meters, a straight bow, a 37mm French Haggaches gun in the bow, and a Maxine heavy machine gun above the rudimentary steel cockpit.

At the rear of the patrol boat there is a 2.4-×3.75-meter empty cabin, along which a circle of wooden seats can be arranged along the line, which can carry 24 heavily armed soldiers and necessary supplies and equipment.

If you squeeze it, 30 people will be fine.

Equipped with 60 centimeters of thin steel plates on both sides of the empty cabin, the African Expeditionary Force soldiers could rely on the thin steel plates to cover their shots, providing the most basic protection capabilities.

This is just an ordinary steel plate, which can resist the bows and arrows and spears of the indigenous people of Africa, but it cannot resist the bullets, and a shot is a hole.

This is not a problem, after the patrol boat arrives in Mozambique, Africa, the African Expeditionary Force will add 20 cm thick wooden planks to the outside of the thin steel plate, which is enough to resist rifle bullets, and will also thoughtfully install a pergola and iron buckets to store clean drinking water, so that a perfect river armed patrol and transport vehicle is completed.

This is the favorite patrol boat of the African Expeditionary Force, which is a fish in water in the stream-crisscrossed Zambezi River basin, and can be transported by rail to the Lake Malawi region, transporting passengers, transporting goods, or visiting fishing boats part-time patrols, fighting, and almost everything.

I inquired a little

Lieutenant Chen Mantun guessed correctly, this is indeed military equipment delivered to the Mozambique colony in Africa, a total of 42 "mosquito" patrol boats of various types, which are hoisted onto 10,000-ton freighters by rail cranes, and can be transported over at one time.

The longest mosquito patrol boat is only more than 30 meters, more than 5 meters wide, the smallest is only 12 meters long, 2.8 meters wide, such a size is drizzle in the 10,000-ton ship hold, this ship not only loaded 42 patrol boats, but also loaded a large number of steel structures, mainly used to build bridges and docks.

This is these mosquito patrol boats are built by various shipyards in the surrounding area, in fact, the technical content is very low, that is, an iron shell plus an engine, and then equipped with ready-made weapons.

Despite its rudimentary appearance, it is very practical, and it is widely welcomed in Shangri-La, Borneo and Mozambique, and most of them are attached to the Army's Marine Police District for daily duty.

Stood by the dock and watched for a while

Second Lieutenant Tie Xiong stabbed Lieutenant Chen Mantun with his hand and said; "Brother Mantun, don't look at it, these little boats for those guys in the army to play, let's go up to the big guys in the back to bring the energy, it's not too early, I'm afraid that Li Zhong's kid will be in a hurry, he will definitely do it."

"Huh...... It's okay, he won't invite me to invite me. ”

"So why bother?"

"Okay, let's go."

The two men turned to leave the dock and strode forward side by side, waving their arms vigorously out of the rhythm of the queue and heading towards the factory gate......
