Chapter 1133: Lanfang Shipyard

The whole fleet, slowly changing direction, Lanfang is not more than a month old, the whole Lanfang has changed its appearance, the northwest is in the civil engineering, has a huge advantage, advanced construction machinery, a large number of new construction methods, especially the use of reinforced concrete and frame structures, so that the speed of urban construction is very fast. Before the Sher fleet attacked Pontianak, which had made the city dilapidated, Lan Fang simply started a new stove, re-planned on the basis of Pontianak, and carved out a large urban belt.

Pontianak is positioned as the capital of Lan Fang, and even after being incorporated into China in the future, it will become the core of the entire Southeast Asia, controlling more than one million square kilometers of land, countless large and small islands, and the area of Pontianak is not small.

The current China, and a few years ago, is a little different, with Baotou, Taiyuan, and even Xi'an urban construction experience, Pontianak is just a piece of cake, before the establishment of Lanfang, field testing has begun, after the establishment of the country, the process of construction began.

After the construction team of more than 100,000 people and 8,000 sets of various large and medium-sized construction machinery drove to Pontianak together, the high-rise buildings and cities have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the northwest consortium and Chinese-funded forces have also begun to come to Southeast Asia, just in a short period of time, at least 5 billion funds, more than 1,000 projects settled in Pontianak. In the next three years, Pontianak will see rapid growth in industry and manufacturing, just like Baotou in the past.

As for the workers, the Northwest has formed a long-term worker training system, which has continuously cultivated a large number of workers, and now it is copied to Lanfang, and the future Lanfang is not only a raw material production area and a material asset location. It will also become a part of the entire Chinese industrial system, and only by thoroughly playing the role of Lanfang.

Something that was moved back from India. A considerable part of it was used on Lan Fang's body. Building materials, wood and other things, even cotton and tea, can also be used as basic raw materials.

The newly built military port, which has only set up simple berths at the moment, Scheer's fleet, after almost a month of intense fighting, both in terms of will and energy. It's all tense, it's time to relax. The warship itself, some of the gun barrels need to be replaced, and the entire battleship also needs to be fully maintained.

After the establishment of Lanfang, Shijia Shipyard was acquired by Lanfangguo, and on the basis of Shijia Shipyard, Lanfang Shipyard was expanded. It has not only expanded the scale of Shijia Shipyard, but also expanded from the original area of 2 square kilometers to 12 square kilometers of huge coastline. It has four 50,000-ton docks and one or twenty 2-30,000 ton docks.

Of course, this is only a long-term plan, and now only three docks, one large and two small, have actually started construction, plus the previous docks. At this time next year, Lanfang Shipyard will have the capacity to build 3 capital ships.

The head of the Shi family at this time. He was hired back as the first manager of Lanfang Shipyard. Under the guidance of experts from China, he will carry out the preparation of three warships.

These three ships are nothing else, it is the Bavarian class, in order to catch up with the British Navy, Germany issued an order for 8 capital ships to the northwest, which was only an intention before, and now, after the harvest of 30 million pounds is in place, a deposit is directly placed.

Scheer was a member of the German High Seas Fleet, and of course he was in charge of the naval fleet, and after asking for the Tyre batch, he first used 10% of the harvest of this plunder to issue a deposit.

According to the calculation of the northwest, the price of the Bavarian class, 2.45 million pounds, 8 ships, is an order of almost 20 million, and Schell was able to put more than 3 million pounds as a deposit, which directly promoted the construction of the northwest.

It's a pity that it should be Germany's unlimited submarine warfare, in the whole world, the number of sunken merchant ships is increasing, the price of freight is rising, more and more people, waving banknotes, into the commercial shipping, Jiangnan Shipyard is larger than Qingdao's, but after being able to accommodate so many civilian ships, there is no extra slipway for the battleship, after barely adjusting, accommodating 3 ships, Qingdao Shipyard is also embezzled, accommodating 3 ships, and 2 ships, maybe the next batch, perhaps waiting for the new dockyard to be ready.

Because of the relationship between Lan Fang and Scheer's fleet, Xiao Jianfeng occasionally heard Scheer mention it, and felt that it was an opportunity, so he went back to discuss it with Yang Shu and Zhu Hua, they were both government officials and didn't know much about military affairs, but Xiao Jianfeng said that they were also moved.

For a long time in the future, nominally, Lan Fang and China are separated, even if they also join the camp of the Entente, it is the same, it is inconvenient to give Lan Fang a lot of support at that time, in this case, even if there are one or two capital ships, Xiao Jianfeng They also need logistics and repair support, they can't run back to China in everything, Southeast Asia is still thousands of kilometers away from China, so running back and forth, some are too troublesome.

The shipyard of the Shi family was established with the help of the northwest, but it is only a civilian shipyard, and it has recently been doing militarized transformation, and it is only a simple maintenance of battleships, and the order of 2 Bavaria-class ships is a big gap compared to the fantasy class and Orion, but it is also the key to the transformation of Lanfang Shipyard, and it must be taken, with him, in the field of military shipbuilding, it will be a big step forward.

For the orders of these two ships, Zhu Hua and Yang Shu returned to Baotou separately, both of them are big members of one party, Nanyang has today's situation, and the two people have a lot to do with it, in the northwest system, the two people have their own citations, and finally succeeded in attracting these two orders.

Shi Zhongyu stood in front of the 30,000-ton dock, this is the dock that has only been built for less than a week, a Bavarian-class keel, has been laid in it, once upon a time, the most glorious time of Shijia Shipyard, but built a 7,000-ton ocean-going cargo ship, most of the things are still purchased, and now it has the ability to manufacture about 30,000 tons of large capital ships, the changes in the middle, let Shi Zhongyu feel emotional.

100 engineers and 300 skilled workers from the northwest have been distributed to various places in the new Lanfang shipyard, they are all carefully selected elites, which can make the Lanfang shipyard enter the state faster.

On the other side of the stone jade, there is Sher, the fleet enters Pontianak to rest, and some of the damaged warships need to be maintained, although they are not seriously injured, at most it will take a few days to enter the dock.

That is, when he entered the dockyard maintenance, Schell heard that there were two Bavaria-class ships being built here, and he was interested, and there were several young officers under his command, although they are now operating more powerful than the Bavarian class, but with a strong German blood, and the Bavarian class that has been modified under the technical conditions of the northwest, is not weak, at least the protection and power system has been greatly strengthened.

Scheer has been standing here for a long time, as a naval officer who has been in contact with the northwest for a long time, he found a very strange thing, that is, from the beginning of the exchange with the northwest, Germany has been strengthened to varying degrees, from the army, trench warfare, the use of heavy machine guns, all kinds of mortars, and airships, it can be said that these seemingly inconspicuous small East and West, but the German army has undergone subtle changes, which is not very obvious in peacetime, in war time, This is evidenced by Germany's current dominance.

The same is true of the Navy, and Schell cannot imagine what would have happened when the fleet, without him, had 9 capital ships, 18 German capital ships, and 29, or even 41 capital ships.

Britain's lease of 6 warships from the United States proves a little bit that even if Tirpitz put forward the concept of a risk fleet, according to this concept, under the premise that Germany and Britain fought a lose-lose situation, Britain could get the fleet from the Commonwealth countries and the United States at any time, and when the time came, it would still blockade Germany, and the situation would be even worse.

In terms of cost, this task force that did not spend money has already earned money, and then, when the 8 Bavaria-class ships are completed, the German High Seas Fleet will immediately challenge Britain, and at that time, the battle of more than 60 capital ships will definitely be the largest naval battle in human history, and he is very excited when he thinks of this.

Now it is just a keel, and in the future, he will become the backbone of the German navy, Schell did not stay in the Lanfang shipyard for long, the navy that went ashore must be managed by him, from training, to the total annihilation of the British and French fleets, and then to the plundering of India, many non-commissioned officers and officers have made meritorious contributions, and before the next time they go to sea, they must be rewarded and punished in place, but fortunately, they have gained a lot from India, and some financial rewards can be sent directly, but they are just official positions and the like, and those who exceed the rank of colonel must be consulted by the Admiralty.

This time the rest time was not short, from July to almost October, when the rainy season in Southeast Asia gradually ended, before leaving, the new Scheer fleet began a new journey, just as Scheer thought, the purpose of the sneak attack on South Africa was very simple, for gold.

This is a later story, not to mention for the time being, the time has gone through July, the hot August has finally arrived, and after nearly half a year of preparation, the founding ceremony of New China will finally be carried out in Baotou, including representatives from all walks of life, foreign envoys, in the founding ceremony between the day, gathered in Baotou to witness the birth of this new country.
