After Liao Mingyu returned to the Heihe base, he couldn't wait to come to the underground command room and start operating the system to upgrade the base.

This upgrade cost 600,000 points, almost emptying all his savings during this time, which really distressed him.

However, the authority of the Level 4 system base has been further improved, and the factory production line can be increased by two or three times, the production speed has been accelerated by one-third, and the radiation area of the base has been nearly doubled.

The most important thing is to unlock the shipyard dock, which can build its own shipyard and dock, which is something Liao Mingyu dreams of.

At present, the Yangon area has just been captured, and the three divisions of the New 88th Army also need to replenish and recuperate, and they cannot be mobilized for the time being, while the 201st and 202nd Divisions of the New Army led by Fang Jingyao took over the task of going south and continued to march towards the Kra Isthmus.

Their mission was to further clean up the remnants of the Japanese army and take control of the railway connecting Burma to Malaysia... Isodarin Line.

The importance of the Kra Isthmus is evident from the fact that the Kra Isthmus is the only land route with the Malay Peninsula, mostly mountainous and jungle, and the Isodarin Railway is the only land route with the Malay Peninsula.

It's just that this railway starts from Bagu in the north to Balang in the south, with a total length of thousands of kilometers, especially the southern section of the line has no maintenance and is in disrepair, and its condition is very bad.

Even after the occupation, it was difficult to repair it, at least not for a short time, and it was impossible to use it to build a line of communication, and even the Japanese used the Isodarin Railway to transport soldiers by land and sea.

The Kra Isthmus is a mountainous region with a tropical region, where the rainforest is infested with poisonous insects and miasma, and is often hit by typhoons, and the environment is as harsh as the Savage Mountains.

Here, if you don't rely on means of transportation such as train tracks, and want soldiers to march on two legs... Non-combat attrition will reach a terrifying number.

With the defeat of the Battle of Rangoon, the Japanese army recognized the reality and prepared to completely abandon Burma and fully retreat to Malaysia.

The railway to the south cannot be counted on in the short term, and at this time, the shipyard dock that can be built after the upgrade of the system base has become the key.

After Liao Mingyu finished the affairs of the Heihe base, he immediately flew to Yangon. Post-war reconstruction work is still underway in and around the city, and in addition to the recruited people, some soldiers have also joined in.

Clean up the battlefield, clear the ruins, repair and rebuild... The resettlement of the large number of people displaced by the war and, most importantly, the construction of airports and military installations.

The tedious work in this area was all pressed on Meng Fu, who was so tired that he didn't want to, and poured bitter water on the headquarters every day.

In the past, the military management model was implemented, and the army was used to manage the localities, and there was no way to do it during the war, but this was not a long-term solution after all, and once it entered the peacetime, how to deal with local government affairs was a headache.

It's okay to let those old brothers fight, but it's basically not that kind of material when it comes to the construction of people's livelihood, and there is too much shortage of such talents in local administration.

Liao Mingyu also had no choice, so he had to transfer Ah Yi from the rear first and cooperate with Meng Fu to deal with this bunch of affairs.

Later, after the establishment of the new army, he was transferred to the Heihe base to be responsible for the training of recruits and the construction of the base area.

In any case, the two of them have a high level of cultural education, and they are fully capable of these basic government affairs with their cooperation.

Yangon, as an important coastal town, has a deep-water port built in 1852, although it is said to be an inland port, but it is only 24 nautical miles south of Motama Bay in the Andaman Sea, and the berth draft reaches 10 meters, and it is deeper at high tide, and the 10,000-ton giant ship can also dock near the port.

After the Japanese army came, they strengthened the construction of the port, added several berths, widened and lengthened the dock line, and even the Chaoyun-class light cruisers could call at the port.

The shipyard dock is located on the right bank of the Yangon River, just across the river from Yangon Port, adjacent to the town, and the transportation and supply are relatively convenient.

In addition, it is necessary to choose a location for the sub-base, so that it can radiate all around, produce the necessary resources from within the base, and also strengthen the defense.

The sub-base is to be built on the 323 Plateau, 60 kilometers west of Yangon, also known as Mount Dagon, surrounded by mountains as a barrier, and not far from the city of Yangon.

The system also detected oil and gas in the area, which is a very desirable location.

Because the sub-base was selected in the inaccessible mountains, the construction was quietly completed in a few days. But after all, the shipyard is too close to the city, and the initial state of the building is too sci-fi, so it is better to hide it from people and avoid unnecessary trouble.

After confirming the location, Liao Mingyu first transferred the troops stationed in this vicinity, cleared all irrelevant personnel within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and then let the special service battalion take over, set up a cordon checkpoint, strictly enforce this area, and also built a fence with barbed wire and wooden planks on the periphery to prevent anyone from approaching this place.

The following night, Liao Mingyu arrived at his destination alone, unfolded the shipyard dock blueprint in the system, and summoned hundreds of system clone workers.

In less than five hours, the shipyard's facilities were already taking shape, and by the early hours of the morning the dry dock was basically completed, and the internal machinery was in place, and workers could start operating the equipment.

The clone mechanic after the level 4 base is more bionic than before, the lifespan has increased from five to fifteen years, and he also has the ability to speak and logic with certain emotional changes, and can carry out simple social interactions, and he no longer looks so dull and wooden, even if he is mixed in the crowd for a short time, he can't tell the difference.

It's just that they still only perform professional skills and techniques, and nothing else or feelings are programmed, and it is impossible to have a life like ordinary people, which can only be said to be a fly in the ointment.

The shipyard covers an area of 3 square kilometers as a whole, with two dry docks and two lifting devices, with 130 workers at the initial stage, and can be used for production in the future, with a peak of 1,500 people.

With the subsequent upgrading of the sub-base, the shipyard dock can also be upgraded to increase the dry dock and equipment production line, so as to further improve the production efficiency.

After the construction is completed, the system will take the initiative to unlock a construction unit, a small passenger and cargo dual-purpose personnel carrier with a displacement of 2,000 tons, with a speed of 11 knots, which can transport 800 soldiers and carry-on equipment at a time, which is exactly what the expeditionary force needs most at the moment.

Although the shipyard has been built, Liao Mingyu did not remove the blockade, but increased the martial law troops, for fear that a behemoth would suddenly appear and scare others. At the same time, the shipyard will continue to improve its equipment and mechanics, and start to produce transport ships in full force in preparation for the southern crossing of the Andaman Sea.
