"Who are we?" Aladdin shouted loudly as he raised his scimitar.

"Believers in God!" Nearly a thousand cavalry below shouted in unison.

"What are we going to do?" Aladdin waved his scimitar and shouted again.

"Divine punishment! Divine punishment! Fight for God's Punishment! The cry from below was even louder.

"We are the Blade of God's Punishment, and we use blood to cleanse the canon of God!" Aladdin stood up and shouted, "We will build a kingdom that will spread the prestige of the true God!" ”

Aladdin has only ten Arab-looking spies by his side, and only leads a clone army of about 100 people, as Aladdin's bodyguard team and elite assault team. The same white mask adds to the mysterious majesty.

Although there are no horses in the base, these people alone are enough to fight their way through the desert with sniper rifles and machine guns, and even if Saudi Arabia has been established in 32 years, it is a kind of chieftaincy-style management at this time. For the killing between tribes, it generally doesn't matter.

Moreover, at this time, Aladdin had three Britons behind him who were taking care of diplomatic relations for them. And Aladdin still has more respect for the royal family, and a donation of 100,000 pounds gave some members of the royal family the green light.

"Money is easy to use anywhere!" Meng Xiang heard and sighed that at this time, the Middle East was not a rich country later, and oil extraction began, Iran and Iraq mined earlier, but Saudi Arabia only began to exploit it in 36 years, and large-scale mining did not start until after World War II.

For a long time, the resources and prices of oil were also controlled by the British and American oil oligarchs, and the royal family never had much money. At this time, as long as Aladdin did not rebel against the royal family, they generally resolved other contradictions by themselves.

"It turns out that this royal family is just the largest tribal leader, and the weapons at hand are pitiful! If it weren't for the fact that this is the territory of the British, and the poor no one pays attention, I am afraid that it would have been swept away long ago. Meng Xiang sighed. The original mind was constantly changing, and within a few days, several of Aladdin's henchmen knew that their leader was sketching a crescent country.

"At the edge of the oceans and deserts, a crescent moon kingdom will carry the glory of God!"

"Stability is the main thing, don't be in a hurry first!" Meng Xiang instructed Aladdin Dao played by 61.

At this time, the British were still very powerful in the Gulf, and it was not something that others could easily shake. As long as the existing sub-bases are maintained, those oil fields can bring hundreds of millions of income to Mengxiang every year. This is Mengxiang's largest financial source for the base.

With this money, Meng Xiang can also have the luxury of buying oil from the base by 30 percent directly.

But the main thing, Meng Xiang still chose to solve it by himself.

"How many cows do we have?" Meng Xiang asked.

"6 ships." Rat Er replied directly next to him.

"Yes, continue to ramp up production and modifications." Meng Xiang ordered.

The cows he was talking about were actually talking about some of Germany's World War I-era ocean-going submarines.

Although he himself blocked the sea, they really couldn't block the sky and the bottom of the sea, especially now that the vanguard army has a few ports. It is more appropriate to transport some light and small things by air, and it is not cost-effective to transport a large number of them. Meng Xiang turned his gaze to the ocean again.

The Germans built a number of cow supply submarines during World War II. To this end, Meng Xiang also produced an XB type submarine with a displacement of 1,980 tons on the surface and 2,177 tons underwater, with a design depth of 350 meters. It was the first type of submarine designed by the Germans after World War I specifically for minelaying. Several later models were designed to be converted into cows, which could transport 240 tons of oil at a time, as well as several boats. But the cost of this submarine was too high, so Meng Xiang gave up after producing this one. Changed to the production of cheap goods from World War I.

As long as it was not used for combat, but only as a transport, the submarines of the First World War era were enough.

Meng Xiang picked for a long time, and according to the collected information, he chose the U-142 ship.

This is an ocean-going submarine that was only put into service in 18 years. The surface displacement is 2158 tons, and the underwater displacement is 2785 tons. Although the depth of the dive is only 75 meters, it is enough to cope with the search of devils at night. It was modified more thoroughly than the XB submarine, and a lot of weapons and equipment were abandoned, and the formation was naturally escorted by other ships or submarines to transport fuel. What it needs to do is to load as much fuel as possible, its 17.5 knots of water surface high-speed does not need, and it does not need a range of 20,000 nautical miles under 6 knots, and the fuel it carries is regarded as a transport product. There is no need to carry more than 60 people, everything is just for transportation.

After a series of modifications, its oil transportation volume reached almost five hundred tons.

At this time, all the way along the coast of China was under the control of Yu, so Meng Xiang directly chose to supply oil from the Nanyang sub-base. The pipeline of the oil well is directly connected to the sophisticated workshop, and all kinds of refined oil products will appear directly. Although the difference in the price of oil is also taken into account, it is still advantageous to buy. However, the purchase needs to be paid for with real money, and in the face of the increasing finances of the base and the strained finances of the Special Administrative Region, only in a few cases does Meng Xiang choose to buy oil directly from the British and Dutch. After all, it is also necessary to add a hat to disguise the source of the oil.

Although Britain and the Netherlands and other countries promised not to deliver oil to the vanguard army, they did not promise not to sell oil, and there was no reason to push out the business in the face of the vanguard army's direct morning door.

The Vanguard procurement staff bought from many sources, not only from the British and the Dutch, but also from the Americans, and sometimes directly from the French in Indochina, which was much closer. In this way, it is difficult for others to find out how much fuel the vanguard has purchased for a while.

Although the amount of 500 tons at a time is not too much, Meng Xiang plans to build at least 20 or more dairy cows, which adds up to a lot, and the transportation volume of 10,000 tons at a time plus the production of coal-fired oil in the base can temporarily supply the consumption of the vanguard army.

The same method can also be used for grain transportation, Meng Xiang has planned to continue to expand the herd of dairy cows, anyway, the price of submarines during the First World War has been 1/48 cheaper, and the price of this kind of cabbage is cheaper than civilian ships. Meng Xiang can build hundreds of cows.

Cows are not returning to the country in vain, peanuts and other cash crops in the special zones can also be transported, and salt, matches, and other products can also be directly transported to places where the southern coastal devils have lax inspections and sell them ashore. In this way, the entire external channel will be revitalized at once.

"It also needs to be revised again, divided into two categories of oil and dry cargo transportation, try to form standardized warehouses and standard channels, increase the proportion of mechanical handling, and improve handling efficiency." Meng Xiang instructed while looking at the dozen or so transportation plans collected through the General Staff.

After all, personal thinking is limited, and even the general staff, when considering problems, is mainly biased towards the military. In order to solicit more opinions, the General Staff Department generally solicits opinions from professionals on certain topics, and then deals with them in a comprehensive manner. Meng Xiang also hopes to slowly screen out some people with outstanding abilities to build a think tank in China. An e-library plan has already been implemented.

Due to structural problems, it is impossible for the submarine to form a container-like fast and convenient transportation mode inside.

"That's a good plan." Meng Xiang's eyes lit up when he looked at it.

A marine engineer named Ji Zhuanghua mentioned a structure similar to an undersea train, which is directly sunk in the water with a sealed container, dragged or attached by a submarine or ship, and can also avoid the inspection of the sea.

"This method is good, but towing may be prone to danger when encountering undersea currents, hanging on cows or even other ships is good, a variety of carrying methods together to synthesize, so that the use of standardized sealed containers can reduce the time of loading and unloading. It can also be modified to form a standard container directly, and after landing, it can be transported directly to the train or truck. Save yourself the hassle of going back and forth. Meng Xiang added the concept of a standard container, and asked the people below to continue to improve the research.

"The vanguard army is really powerful!" Li Wenping looked at the construction site in front of him and sighed.

Shortly after he arrived from a highway construction site in Sichuan, he was also designing for the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which was being planned. It was poached by the vanguard army. With the strengthening of the mechanization of the vanguard army, the problem of roads has become a difficult problem restricting the dispatch of mechanized troops, especially in July and August, when it rains heavily, the roads are muddy, and vehicles cannot pass in many places. This has made it difficult to dispatch troops and logistically supply the entire SAR. For this reason, Meng Xiang was ruthless and first concentrated on the road problem.

The road system in the zone is being built, but there is a shortage of skilled personnel.

For this reason, the vanguard army dug people all over the country and dug up a lot of big cattle.

A road roller rumbled past him, and Li Wenping suddenly thought of the large stone grinders dragged by the laborers when the Sichuan road was being built, some of which were 1.8 meters high and weighed four or five tons. To build a mountain road, laborers need to push and pull their shoulders to get the big rock mill up the mountain. When going up the mountain, it's good to say, sometimes when going downhill, the big stone mill can't control it, and there are often things that run over laborers.

The vanguard, on the other hand, was a one-color roller, and sometimes there were not enough rollers, and they drove heavy tanks back and forth for a few laps.

Bulldozers and excavators are far more efficient than hundreds of laborers. The excavator's half-ton shovel dug up the earthwork at once, enough for more than a dozen people to work for most of the day. Where there is unevenness, the bulldozer can be bulldozed directly.

This kind of construction is not much even if Li Wenping has seen it in the United States. The high efficiency of construction machinery has been well exerted here, and the speed of highway construction has progressed rapidly.

"That's a bit too wasteful!" Li Wenping shook his head as he looked at the highway built, although the six-lane highway is normal abroad, it can be called a luxury in China in this era. Cement in Huaxia is still a scarce commodity, and although the price has dropped because of the addition of Chinese businessmen such as Qixin, it is still high.

"You need to pass through military vehicles, even heavy tanks!" Wang Xusen next to him interjected that he came earlier than Li Wenping and knew more.

"It doesn't need six lanes either. Military traffic is generally one-way, so the two-lane concrete pavement is also sufficient. Li Wenping still shook his head and said, "Look at the repaired sections of the road, there are a few cars walking on it, most of them are still military vehicles of the vanguard army, as long as the dispatch is good, only two lanes are enough, and the other four lanes can continue to be reserved for civilian light vehicles." You see, most of them are ox carts, carriages, carts and carts and stuff like that, these vehicles have very low loads, I have experimented with them, with this kind of high-strength concrete, only 50 centimeters is enough, for the sake of insurance, it can be added to 80 centimeters, and the difference can be filled with dust. In the future, heavy-duty vehicles will only take the two lanes of the original design in the middle, and the other roads can be paved according to the actual use of 50 to 80 cm, so as to solve the problem of insufficient production of high-strength concrete. ”

At the beginning, in order to ensure the use of tanks on the road, Meng Xiang suddenly started the six-lane highway plan. The construction capacity of the base has been constant, and it is necessary to build not only a system of defensive fortresses in key parts of the special zone, but also civilian facilities such as schools, and even a strong prison is made of the base, leaving less square meters for roads every day, and the progress is even slower when six lanes are built. The most restrictive place is that the production of this nano-fiber concrete is insufficient.

"You can also use asphalt!" Li Wenping said, "It's cheaper this way." ”

At this time, the highway construction is suitable for a large number of asphalt pavement, after all, the cost of asphalt road at this time is cheaper than that of concrete road, and domestic asphalt does not have much utilization value, and the price is low. Li Wenping didn't know the construction function of the base, so he naturally thought that the concrete pavement was a bit extravagant and wasteful.

Meng Xiang also knows that asphalt roads have the advantages of large friction coefficient and stable surname, but the key is that there are too few asphalt resources in the special zone.

"Yes, quantity is the most important thing at this time!" Meng Xiang immediately accepted Li Wenping's suggestion and adjusted the construction mode of the concrete road. What the Vanguard urgently needs now is more mileage on the road, not high quality.
