One warship is more than 20 million US side" This is still discounted, no wonder this is something that only big countries can afford to burn! Meng Xiang sighed again. If he hadn't just received an auction proceed and made a lot of money, he wouldn't have built the Hindenburg-class battleship right away.

At this time, due to the opening of sub-bases in Libya and Greenland, mining increased, which led to a sharp increase in the base's accounts. However, now the consumption of weapons produced by the base has also increased, especially the consumption of several huge ships that Meng Xiang has driven in a row, which has caused the base account to shrink sharply. This time, because the production of Hindenburg-class battleships was only one-sixth of the discount, more than 20 million US dollars was converted into more than 60 million yuan in the ocean, and the base account bottomed out all of a sudden.

"Three more oil wells will be built at the Libya and Greenland sub-bases!" Meng Xiang didn't plan to invest hard currency such as gold and silver in the base, and in the face of possible more capital consumption in the future, he could only open up more sources.

At this time, the shipyard was running out of idleness, and even if it did not produce ships, it was also producing mines, torpedoes, naval guns and other weapons, or repairing or disassembling ships.

"It looks like a new ship, why was it just dismantled?" Old man Liu squatted on the slipway, looking at the behemoth not far away, his heart was full of regret.

He has been mixed in the Jiangnan shipyard all his life and built a lot of ships, but this is the first time to dismantle a ship.

Ship dismantling also requires a particular skill, and it is impossible to directly and violently disassemble it with a sledgehammer. Only with a good grasp can we remove as many useful materials as possible. It's just that the ship that still looks very new has been dismantled like this, which makes Old Man Liu feel a pity. In the navy of the Central Army in the past, such a ship was also a treasure. Now it has been dragged to the vicinity of the improvised slipway, "to be unloaded."

Old man Liu felt a little awkward in his heart, and groped with his hands on his body for a long time, and after touching the tobacco bag, he just pinched it and said, "I didn't take it out." Although he was not ordered to quit smoking, he was used to not smoking in these places.

"It's a pity that this ship was dismantled like this!" His old partner, Old Man Li, came over from behind and handed him a bowl of mung bean soup.

"I heard that Xinzhenyuan has already been sold?" Lao Li Tou's words made Lao Liu Tou a little worried. Zhenyuan used to be a familiar name for the Huaxia Navy, and he just saw that it was pressed to the world's first-class battleship, and he saw that it was about to be sold again, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

"Didn't Meng Dashuai say it? We're going to get a new boat. As an old SAR who followed the vanguard army in Nanjing, Lao Liu Tou has always been grateful to Meng Dashuai, and he does not forget to be grateful for the New Year's holidays at home. However, on the Xinzhen Yuan, there is some entanglement. Although Meng Dashuai said that he wanted to change to a new ship, is there anything better in the world than a Fantasy-class battleship?

"There are no better ships, even a few more of them, it's not bad!" Lao Li Tou pointed to the battleship in the distance.

This is not a dreadnought-class battleship of the British" but a German battleship cruiser of the First World War, the Von der Tann. The design displacement of 1,937 tons is large enough, but it is still a little smaller than the King-class battleships that are being dismantled in another place.

"It's a lot like a German warship! The steel of the Germans is very good, and the dismantled materials are durable. "Old Liu Tou is drinking mung bean soup," he said, narrowing his eyes.

Ship dismantling has become a big cake in Meng Xiang's hands. Over the course of a year, the dismantled marine steel has caught up with the steel production in the war zone, and it is also ready-made plates, pipes and profiles. Whether it was the dreadnought-class battleships built by the British Royal Navy at any cost or the battleships built by the Germans with all their national strength, the materials used were the best at that time. Even the planks laid on the ship are of the finest timber and can be dismantled and used elsewhere.

"Ship dismantling can also train people!" Old man Li looked at the busy group of young men on the boat and felt a double feeling.

"Dismantling the ship" has a deeper understanding of the ship. No wonder the marshal sent these young men from the naval school and the ship major to follow the shipbreaking team here. Old man Liu also looked at the ship and unexpectedly saw the figure of his eldest grandson who was in the navy. Several of them were dismantling a single-mounted, field-millimeter secondary cannon.

Meng Xiang realized the benefits of dismantling the ship, but the manpower for the dismantling was insufficient.

At first, for the sake of secrecy, "it was mainly handled by the clones." However, as ship dismantling has become a major industry, and in the process of ship dismantling, it is still an opportunity to learn, so shipbuilding majors and naval school students and related technicians have also joined in, plus a group of engineers and shipbuilders, it constitutes the main force of ship dismantling.

"That's right! I have been building ships all my life, but unfortunately I have not built a real giant warship in China. If these young men can compare this to create a new town in Huaxia, it will be the most happy thing! Old man Li wiped the corners of his eyes moistened by the sea breeze and sighed.

"Made in Huaxia?" At this time, Meng Xiang was also entangled, the Xinzhen Yuan was sold, although everyone also heard that it was going to be replaced with a new ship, but the negative impact from the pressure of the British still spread. At this time, if the new Zhenyuan does not satisfy the Chinese people, and if it is not good for its own image, it will suffer a great loss under the deliberate distortion of someone.

At this time, there are not many battleships that can replace the Yamato-class, even the 420-mm caliber of the Hindenburg-class is not as shocking as the Yamato-class, unless Meng Xiang suddenly makes a 480-mm caliber H44 type, or even out of the 800-mm exaggeration. However, the reliability of these warships is difficult to convince, and the price factor is also something for Meng Xiang to consider.

Because the H44HP battleship has too many virtual components, although it is also manufactured in other time and space, only one-third of the discount plus the base cost of hundreds of millions of yuan finally made Meng Xiang give up.

Under the final glory of the battleship, in the face of boasting and actual choices, Meng Xiang needed to consider the choice. After all, he still has the option of making red police weapons at the base. And within a day, the dreadnought-class battleship produced by the base was built.

"Expected, but not too many surprises!" This was Meng Xiang's first reaction when he rushed to the shipyard in Qingdao and saw the first-class dreadnought-class battleship built by the base. It was about the same as he imagined, with a 305 mm main gun, a speed of *knots, and a 280 mm thick armor for important parts, and the first class dreadnought-class battleship was a copy of the British dreadnought-class. This is mainly due to the fact that the British dreadnought-class battleships opened the great era of battleships, and the time and space imprint is too profound.

"Keep upgrading!" After a simple test, Meng Xiang immediately issued another order to upgrade. Such a dreadnought-class battleship, even if it is built by the base, is easy to be stepped on when pulled to the battlefield. But fortunately, the ships built at the base can still be upgraded.

"The upgrade costs two million!" , Xiao Huā prompted.

"There are one million first-class dreadnought-class battleships, and the upgrade cost is only two million if it doubles, so it's cheap to build a base!" , Meng Xiang chose to be sure without blinking. Two million oceans can be exchanged for a giant battleship, even a battleship during the First World War is unlikely in reality.

The upgrade is still less than ten days. Not only is the base cheap, but it's also built very quickly. It was completely applied to the speed of 100 tons in an hour before the base was fully opened, and the construction was completed in less than ten days.

"Can I level up again?" , Meng Xiang couldn't help but ask again, the second-class dreadnought-class battleship, in his guess, should be the type of battleship after World War I and the beginning of World War II, and what Xiao Huā told him was that the dreadnought-class battleship could be upgraded to the fifth level, which made him extremely curious about what it looked like when he was a few levels above.

OK! However, the conditions are insufficient, and the army needs to be accumulated! ", Huā explained.

Meng Xiang also understands that "Red Alert weapons can be upgraded as a whole through the upgrade of the base, and when certain conditions are insufficient, they can also be upgraded through accumulation of honors."

Although the dreadnought-class battleship will eventually break through the barrier and be upgraded to the rank of Jiagao, there is no explanation for the Zhenyuan at this time.

"It seems" can only be made in Huaxia! Meng Xiang was a little helpless and said that he must give a satisfactory explanation to the people.

"With 80% made in Huaxia, you can always block everyone's mouths, no matter how you say it, this is also your own child!" , Meng Xiang was in a somewhat depressed mood. Although such a red police weapon is not plagiarized in reality, Meng Xiang always felt that he couldn't shout out Huaxia made in the open, and he was a little regretful. However, Meng Xiang would not be stupid enough to really build a battleship by himself. The glory of battleships was doomed to pass, and the future supremacy of the seas was missile, submarine and aircraft carrier.

"Did they really sell the Zhenyuan?" , Nagano Xiu said with some surprise.

"Yes" sold for 160 million dollars! A young intelligence soldier sitting cross-legged on the mat bowed his head and said.

"The British are burning their eyebrows, and they can't care about anything else!" , Nagano Xiu sighed in a low voice, and then sneered: "The vanguard army is really willing, such a big battleship was sold!" "This is a good opportunity for us to attack them! Toyota's vice-president, who had been idle, couldn't help but speak beside him.

"Idiot! Are you sure of breaking through their shore artillery positions? Nagano Xiushen couldn't help but shout, "Even if you patrol the sea, you are easy to be attacked by their planes!" Besides, our warships can't climb ashore! ”

Thinking of the vanguard army, Nagano Xiu felt a headache, and as more and more information was obtained, they found that the vanguard army didn't know where to get so many shore guns, and almost the entire coastline was locked with an iron chain, making people have nowhere to start. Thinking of the fiasco of the Japanese army, they were not too sure that they would pose a threat to the vanguard army.

Although the navy and the army quarrel over interests, they know that the war is still the last step of conquest by the army.

"Is it only for the Navy to cruise the seas to attack the German and American merchant ships?" The Eternal Night Seminary rejected this stupid idea that some people had proposed. Neither the Germans nor the Americans should have been offended. Even if the Americans are regarded as great enemies, they are not using this means to find fault with the Americans.

"I heard that the army's troops in Nantong have all been withdrawn?" , After half a ring, Nagano cultivated himself.

"Yes, the army of the vanguard army is heading towards Nantong. Fortunately, they evacuated in time, and only lost more than 3,000 people! The intelligence officer lowered his head and continued to be respectful.

Nagano Xiu was a little bit of a mouth, "When, the empire's grass team lost more than 3,000 people, and it was also a kind of luck?" He said helplessly.

But he also knew that in the face of the vanguard army, the 30,000 or 40,000 people there could only lose more than 3,000 people to evacuate, which could also be said to be a kind of luck compared to other Japanese troops in the Battle of Jiangbei. He lost more than 100,000 yuan in the battle of Jiangbei, which caused a major change in the political situation.

"So all the imperial teams north of the Yangtze River have withdrawn?" , Nagano said to himself. Two days ago, as the vanguard army approached step by step, "Okamura Ninji also decisively evacuated the Japanese troops near Wuhan to the south of the Yangtze River" and abandoned the position in the north of the Yangtze River. As the Yangtze River was blockaded by the aircraft and heavy artillery of the vanguard army, the supply of the northern Jiangbei team became even more difficult. Seeing that it was not good, Okamura Ninji took the initiative to withdraw.

No one said anything" This action was supplemented by Yan Junliu with the order of the commander-in-chief, and withdrew the defensive troops in Nantong, completely gave up the occupation of Jiangbei, and carried the guilt alone.

Either way, his position is not kept. But when you can retire, you can make good connections, which is also a kind of self-preservation.

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda was also a little melancholy in his heart: "The small vanguard army in the past has grown into a behemoth that makes the empire look at it at this time!" I knew that today, I should have annihilated them with all my might! ”

"The British are getting weaker and weaker!" , Nagano Xiushen's sudden words made Toyoda Vice Takeshi hear what he said, and Toyoda Vice Takeshi knew that Nagano Xiu had always advocated going south. It is only between those islands that the power of the navy can be maximized, and the wealth of Southeast Asia provides the best supply for the growth of the navy. Huaxia is not easy to gnaw, and I can only find a soft persimmon to pinch it.

"Our super battleships and several aircraft carriers will be a little eyebrow in the second half of the year" Maybe it will be completed in the first half of next year. Eternal Night Cultivation continued, "It's just that there are some things that the cabinet has been slow to decide!" Mitsumasa Minechi of the naval faction has been involved in the battle of Jiangbei at this time. However, this is mainly the responsibility of the army, and if it weren't for the fact that the remnants of the Central China faction were mixed up by the navy and were beaten by Hirohito at both ends, this result would not have occurred. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strength of the army has been greatly damaged, and the royal family, which wants to seek balance, will naturally not let the navy dominate.

Mitsumasa Yonechi was nothing more than a victim of the political balance, and the resignation of his pro-American faction "was also an internal adjustment of the Navy." Increasing financial pressures have left the Navy looking for a new way out.

After fighting the navy, the army was so uncompetitive that Hirohito could only choose Konoe Fumitaka to come to power" and became prime minister for the second time.

Konoe Wenying came to the stage, and there were still a lot of things waiting for him. "Abroad, before it is straightened out, he will never easily open his mouth to have the idea of going south or attacking the vanguard. What he has to do at this point is to gather power.

"Hosojo Roku has stepped down? It's Okamura Ninji who went up? Meng Xiang was the first to get the change of the day himself in Huaxia, and even this appointment has not officially reached the ears of Okamura Ningji. Okamura Ninji, the descendant cultivated by Hirohito, can finally be regarded as controlling the power of one side. At this time, the soldiers and horses of the more than 700,000 Chinese dispatch troops were much stronger than in history, and stronger than the Kwantung Army. But it was still crushed by the vanguard army.

"Ninji Okamura!" , Meng Xiang whispered this familiar name, and then said with a smile, "He was decisive, and he directly gave up those positions near Wuhan!" Hehe! ”

"Now, the people of the Central Army are still arguing with us and want to return to these positions!" Pharmacist Tang smiled with a sparse beard twisted on his chin.

At that time, the devils took advantage of the night to evacuate, and the vanguard army, which had more information in place, was the first to detect what was going on, and immediately organized people to take over these positions. And the Central Army, which was afraid of encountering the devil's ambush, waited until it was full of the banner of the vanguard army before relieving itself. They reported level by level, and naturally someone from above came to negotiate with the vanguard army about the transfer of positions.

"Again, we received it from the devils, they want to, go and say hello to the devils first!" , Meng Xiang said, "Since the people of Wuhan welcome us so much, let's build two recruitment offices in Wuhan first!" ”

Zhang Xiaoyi looked at the scorching sun moving westward, walked out of the shade of the tree, rubbed the dirt on his chest with one hand, and quickly twisted out a small mud pill, sniffed it on his nose, and then flicked his index finger and flew out. Mumaru Ge made a small arc and landed on the proposed grassland, being crushed into the dry dust by a straw shoe that walked by.

"Hao Laoshi, where are you going in a hurry? If you don't go out of the barracks to buy groceries, you run into a widow going out, right? Hahaha! Zhang Xiaoyi tilted his head and smiled evilly, stopping the hurried figure.

The black and fat Hao Laoshi saw that it was a famous veteran ruffian in the camp who was blocking the way, and he hurriedly laughed and said, "I'll go out of the camp and buy some food and come back!" "Buy a bird dish? It's been more than a month, and I can't even see a few oily huā in the bowl, do you say you're greedy? Zhang Xiaoyi's open arms were exposed with ribs like ribs, which was really not a weight for the black and fat Hao Laoshi. However, there are people behind Whisper Byi who are covered, but few people dare to provoke it.

"How can you, how can you! I don't get paid, and I don't do it here! The folds on Hao Laoshi's face were wrinkled together with a charming smile.

"I don't care, if you don't give an explanation today, you don't want to live from here!" Zhang Xiaoyi snorted coldly, leaning over and spreading his legs.

Half a box of Victory brand cigarettes was stuffed into his hand, he lowered his head and swept it, snorted coldly, and began to pick his nostrils with four fingers.

"I'll tell you one more news!" , Hao Laoshi had no choice but to lean into his ear and whisper.

"What? It's a hot day! Zhang Xiaoyi was dissatisfied and pushed him.

Hao Laoshi nodded and smiled, they all came over again, looked down at the surroundings for a while, and then said softly: "The vanguard army has opened a recruiting office in Chenjiawan again!" "What? Zhang Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his index finger was inserted in his nostrils, which made the sound of surprise and urn.

"Really?" Zhang Xiaoyi also looked around, then lowered his voice and asked again. Since the mass loss of personnel from the Central Army to the vanguard army, the control of the barracks has become extremely strict. This kind of discussion of the vanguard army was heard from above and was punished.

"Li Tiezi went grocery shopping and saw it with his own eyes! Count him as righteous and come back and bring me a letter! Hao honestly said to himself.

Zhang Xiaoyi still had a shocked expression on his face, bowing his head in contemplation. Seeing this, Hao Laoshi took the opportunity to flash and walked quickly to the outside of the camp.

The last time the vanguard army recruited, everyone was still a little hesitant. When it was time to go, but the number of recruits in the vanguard army was limited, and it had stopped. This time, I have to rush to the front of everything I say.

"Uncle, I won't serve you bastards anymore!" Hao Laoshi turned around and glanced at Zhang Xiaoyi, who was sluggish in the scorching sun, scolded in his heart, and walked towards the door of the barracks with his head held high.

"His grandmother's! The recruiting office of the vanguard army has arrived at the gate of our barracks, why didn't you tell me earlier? Zhang Saifei yelled at his nephew who was standing in front of him like a dove.

"I, I just knew!" Zhang Xiaoyi shrank his neck and bowed his head to be trained.

"His grandmother's!" Zhang Saifei took two steps in the room, and suddenly threw his hat on the table, "No, we have to hurry." Trumpet Set! Bring the whole camp with you! "That's the Vanguard, huh? Zhang Xiaoyi's eyes widened and said, "Second uncle, the recruiting office of the vanguard army can't be smashed, their garrison is nearby, there are tanks, artillery, and planes!" When Zhang Saifei heard this, he smiled angrily: "His grandmother's, where do you want to go, bastard?" How many heads do I have, and dare to smash the field of the vanguard army? "Then take the troops? Zhang Xiaoyi was puzzled.

"In these years, only soldiers are popular! I took the whole battalion and went over and joined the vanguard army, so why don't you give me a similar officer? There aren't many opportunities like that! Zhang Saifei laughed, "His grandmother's is still an officer of the vanguard army!" ”！ ~！
