Chapter 195: Antarctica? Middle East?

Meng Xiang looked around the map, and finally felt that the areas under his control were not suitable for the establishment of a naval school.

"Alas! It's better to be in Qingdao Yantai! Meng Xiang sighed, "There's no way, now I can only be a water master!" ”

The vanguard army now has nearly 1,000 sailors in training in China, but there are indeed more than 80 of them who can serve as officers, and half of them are trained dragon warriors.

The training sites can only be concentrated in the coastal areas of Weifang and inland rivers. The navy that comes out in this way can really only be called a sailor.

Meng Xiang could only be helpless about this, and still set his sights on Nanyang.

"This is indeed the Scott Destroyer, and it is indeed new!" Five experts from the Imperial Navy, who had rushed from the country, unanimously approved of the ship at their feet.

Captain William frowned slightly when he heard this, not that he was surprised by the price of ten million marks, but that he was puzzled by what kind of group they were behind them.

They boarded an Imperial thousand-ton cargo ship, and kept following the prompts of their telegram all the way, until they finally met the Scott destroyer directly at sea.

Facing Scott's five 120 mm guns, William and the others boarded the destroyer lightly with only their personal defenders.

"Hello! You can call me Laudrup! Room 51 shook hands with them very politely.

"Friends from Germany, you can watch as much as you want!" Room 51 didn't say much polite to them, and without waiting for William and the others to speak, he gave way generously first. When they passed by the radar station of the Nanyang sub-base just now, it was already determined that they did not bring other ships, and they were still sincere.

William and the others were not polite, and directly sent five experts to start the inspection. As a result, after several hours of careful examination, comparing the information in the hands of the Empire, the five experts agreed that this was the Scott destroyer, at least very similar to it. The quality of the initial inspection was also good, but there were some that needed to be thoroughly examined.

"Don't bother, just drive this ship back. If you think you can, pay again! According to Meng Xiang's meaning, 51 said directly in orthodox German and generously. Behind them, another Scott drove up.

"Good!" William did not hesitate and replied directly. Guaranteed by the reputation of the empire, naturally there will be no tricks. He also understood what the other party meant, the other party didn't care about these at all, if the empire had the intention of breaking the contract, he was afraid that the relationship would turn against each other in the future.

Meng Xiang is not afraid that they will repay their debts, for the sake of future battleship transactions, or even more transactions, they will not be so short-sighted. Scott's technology is not too advanced, according to the current German technology has far surpassed these.

"We'll reply on time in half a month!" William said categorically.

The 51 was never wordy, and took the people directly to another Scott destroyer, and slowly moved away.

"Let's go to Supply Depot 38 in the Pacific Ocean!" William said in a deep voice.

The Germans had lost all their overseas military bases in World War I, but with the revival of the Empire, they set up several more hidden stops overseas, including in Micronesia, where they had already negotiated a lease of a coral atoll and a supply depot. Although there was no large-scale garrison there, there was relevant ship repair equipment that could be inspected.

Meng Xiang didn't know that the Germans had already laid out the world, but this did not prevent him from arranging the overall situation in the same way.

After receiving the benefits from the Nanyang sub-base, he was particularly interested in the opening of the sub-base.

"Where's the next sub-base?" Meng Xiang is looking for resource-rich areas on a world map. In order to get rid of the investment in the base as soon as possible, Meng Xiang still decided to build a resource base first.

"Antarctica! Antarctica is good! Meng Xiang had this plan early on. Antarctic resources are too abundant, and later generations have paid attention to Antarctic scientific expeditions for a while, so Meng Xiang is quite familiar with Antarctica. There are 500 billion tons of coal there, and the iron ore resources of the Prince Charles Mountains alone can be mined in the world for 200 years, making them the world's largest iron-rich deposits.

There are tens of billions of tons of oil reserves, and although Meng Xiang doesn't remember how much natural gas there is, it must be a lot.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too far away, it was not as good as the population advantage of Nanyang, and Meng Xiang might have set up the first sub-base there. Now that the Nanyang base is available, the advantages of Antarctica's abundant resources are immediately highlighted, and it is inaccessible, which is more suitable for the security setting of the base.

"Xiaohua, does the climate in Antarctica have any effect on the base?" Meng Xiang still asked Zhi Brain in advance to avoid accidents.

"No impact!" Xiaohua's words made Meng Xiang breathe a sigh of relief.

"The No. 6 base that is about to be produced will be built in Antarctica!" Meng Xiang couldn't help but see a lot of golden light in front of him.

"Commander, due to the limitations of the space-time barrier, it is temporarily impossible to set up a sub-base in Antarctica!" The florets were poured with cold water again.

"Why? There weren't a few piles of guano there, so how could they interfere with the Temporal Authority? Meng Xiang was extremely angry, and a bunch of reasons would pop up at every turn for the base restrictions.

"Because the future Antarctic is the property of all mankind, it is impossible to set up a military base there for the time being!" Xiaohua really said a ridiculous reason.

"When the time comes, I'll send someone to occupy it all, and see who is going to say such fraternity that makes people have a toothache?" Meng Xiang was also helpless about it, so he could only say ruthlessly.

After resenting for a while, he remembered the temporary word in the little flower.

"Xiaohua, you said that it won't work for the time being, so when can you set up a sub-base?" Xiaohua, who has always answered accurately, will not ignore this temporary.

"After the main base is upgraded to the third level, the barriers of the era of scientific investigation can be broken. At that time, the restrictions of the Antarctic Treaty can be lifted and a sub-base can be established in Antarctica! Xiaohua's explanation reminded Meng Xiang of the division of the Antarctic expedition that he had seen before, the age of sailing, the age of heroes, the age of mechanization and the era of scientific expeditions. It seems that the construction of military bases was allowed only after the large-scale establishment of research bases in the era of scientific expeditions.

But Meng Xiang seems to remember that in some films and television depicting the German Nazis, it seems that they have already established a secret base in Antarctica.

However, since Xiaohua said so, it must be a foregone conclusion, and there is no excuse.

"Anyway, Antarctica is not the only one on the planet. The cold is not good, I will go to the desert! Meng Xiang said angrily, "I'll go to the Middle East to extract oil." ”

"Xiaohua, there are no restrictions in the Middle East, right?"

"Nope!" Xiaohua agreed very simply.

"Nothing?"

"Nope!" Xiaohua's words made Meng Xiang feel a lot more comfortable. The No. 6 base car is almost built, and it has to be placed in a hurry.

The oil exploitation in the South Seas gave Meng Xiang hope, and the construction of thirteen or fourteen oil wells would result in an income of 100,000 yuan a day, and he would catch up with the financial revenue in a year. If more is built, the Vanguard can rely only on oil wells to solve the operation of the base.

"I'm going to be an oil tycoon too!" Meng Xiang once again spoke proudly.

Colonel Kahn and others were also going back, and although the ship deal was not negotiated, the tanks and MG-42 and MP-40 submachine guns were negotiated.

Tank drawings for the T-34/76A have also been drawn from the base. Meng Xiang didn't know what the principle was, anyway, after a red light swept on the blank paper, the drawings came out. Seeing that the base was so relaxed, Meng Xiang couldn't help but feel distressed for the money he spent. Tank drawings cost the price of ten tanks. Both machine guns and submachine guns were sold at the price of three hundred.

At the beginning, for the Crocodile-class landing ship, Meng Xiang specially activated the drawing of base drawings and related technical description functions. For the drawing and technical description functions of the base, Meng Xiang is very helpless. Every drawing and technical description costs a lot of money. The price of 1 to 10 ships is required for the ship category alone. At that time, seeing that three landing ships were needed to produce drawings, Meng Xiang directly chose to use the real thing.

"It's dark!" Meng Xiang has an understanding of the services of the base, and they are all charged at a high price. "Later, I found someone to dismantle and survey by myself, although there is no process description or anything, but I can sell it for money."

Kahn and his entourage also carried two T-34/76A tanks that Meng Xiang gave away for free.

"We have a condition to help us get this ship out. As you know, I blocked our access to the outside world. We need funding. This shipload of groceries and medicines is for us to send to Africa, and I hope you will help us avoid my own inspection. Meng Xiang, who saw him off, felt that he had performed very sincerely.

"Okay!" Karn hesitated, but finally agreed. The ship of the German merchant was to set sail along with the ship transporting two tanks. Kahn also saw the cargo of the vanguard on the German ship, indeed some goods such as medicines and fine ceramics, and the ship was indeed worth a lot of money.

The Goddess of Victory, alias the German ship, can still vaguely see the shadow of the original Roman, but the owner of the cargo has become a famous and reliable German Krauzer who speaks the native Bavarian dialect. Although his file is in the brain records of the main base, his identity is unassailable at this time. He himself has already drowned in the waves.

The ship did not delay Karn's journey, and set off on the same day. The patrol boat that he encountered on the road chose to let go after facing the documents issued by Kahn. The blockade of the vanguard army was mainly a blockade of food, weapons, ammunition, and oil from the outside world, and the control of those coming out of the inside was not strict. What's more, there are arrogant Germans, Kahn and his party can't hide it from others, and he has no intention of hiding his identity.

Along the way, for fear that the tanks would leak secrets, the Germans were also cautious all the way, and the Germans who rushed to support even boarded the Goddess of Victory, which made Meng Xiang very afraid that they would find out the secrets in the cabin. Thankfully, Karn stopped the act in time, only acquiescing to the Victory following them. With the identity of the German public missionary, it escaped repeated inspections and searches along the way.

"Success or failure! I can only resign myself to fate! "Meng Xiang has no way to check all the way. He could only keep an eye on the movements of the base car, and if anything was wrong, it would simply be a huge explosion that would destroy all traces.

Fortunately, the base's wrist communicator can be worn directly on his body, so he doesn't have to wait for other things.

"The exhibition hall is here!" Rat Er came in and reminded directly. Only then did Meng Xiang remember the meeting he had agreed with Zhanshutang and others.

Recently, the 81st Division of Zhanshutang has been a little unable to sustain itself. Because of the pressure and blockade of the devils, the exhibition hall is also a little unbearable. Han Fuyu's departure cut off the military salary of the 81st Division, and when Zhanshutang had not yet expressed his attitude, Lao Jiang would never generously make up for their military salary.

Zhanshutang has also been thinking about it for a long time. It was not until the last few days, when the 41st Division of the Vanguard Army swept all the way through the wind and clouds, and controlled the large area between Yishui and Yishui, that he decided to come down and join the Vanguard Army.

His 81st Division was already surrounded by the vanguard army, and he was not at ease with Lao Jiang because of Han Fuyu's affairs. At this time, taking refuge in the vanguard may be the best choice.

Meng Xiang and Zhanshutang sat in the reception room and exchanged pleasantries, where Tang Yaofan Fan Chong and others had already started specific discussions with Zhang Maode, deputy commander of the 81st Division, Liu Chongwu, chief of staff, and two brigade commanders, Yun Qichang and Tang Bangzhi.

"You still keep the number of the 81st Division, and your positions will remain the same, but the 81st Division will be changed to three brigades and three regiments." Fan Chong said directly. Since we have come to take refuge, it is necessary to incorporate and reorganize. But it takes a lot of money to buy bones, and it is impossible to reorganize them all directly, so they can only penetrate slowly.

The 81st Division originally had only about 4,000 people, but after some fighting, there were less than 3,000 people left at this time. Add him a brigade, each of which is mixed with a regiment. In accordance with the second-class establishment of the vanguard army, the number of people was replenished, so that the control of Zhanshutang and others over the 81st Division was greatly weakened.

"There are nearly 20,000 people in such a division!" Several people in the 81st Division were very satisfied, and there was sand mixed there, although their positions had not changed, but the number of people under their hands suddenly increased by more than three times. What else could they not be satisfied with? Moreover, the salaries of the vanguard army were paid on time.

"I wonder if General Meng is interested in Commander Han's artillery battalion and pistol team?" Zhanshutang was also very satisfied, and couldn't help but ask Meng Xiangdao with a smile.
