On how to place the sub-base, Meng Xiang scratched his head again.

The sub-base must not be built near the main base, and it is likely to be affected in the event of a crisis. But it's too far away, and it's not easy to operate and connect.

Each base has room for expansion for each base. At present, the direct jurisdiction of the first-class base is 10 kilometers, but after it is upgraded to the second-class base, it will be expanded to 100 kilometers. Upgrading to a higher level is not considered for now.

In addition, there are several other issues that need to be considered in the establishment of sub-bases.

One is the economy. There must be a place where money comes. It is not enough to rely on silver dollars and gold and silver exchanged from other people's hands, and paper money and other things that can be reprinted and infinitely manufactured are not recognized, and the base will need to rely more on mineral resources in the future.

Although the unit price of mineral resources is not high, it cannot stop the large amount, unlike the gold and silver production is too small, and it is difficult to collect.

The second is the energy problem, without a large amount of energy supply, it cannot be vigorously developed.

Coal and oil are fine, but Meng Xiangming knows that the Shengli Oilfield is at the mouth of the Yellow River, but he just doesn't dare to exploit it. That attracted my attention, and the historical changes it triggered were immeasurable.

The third is the issue of the development of the sequence.

Although the main base is located in Shandong, when it is developed to the secondary base, there are only a few small ports in Shouguang and Dongying within 100 kilometers of the sea, which is not suitable for the next step of the construction of the seaport wharf and is not conducive to the resettlement of the shipyard. Without shipyards, ships cannot be produced, what can be used to ensure the safety of coastal defense? Shandong, a place along the coast on three sides, can be said to have broken through from the sea at any time.

Since the main base is located here, this is also Meng Xiang's hometown, and it is inevitable to develop accordingly.

Then the safety of coastal defense should be considered in advance. Judging from the low-cost cost of the base's previous weapons, the cost of the ship must also be very low.

In the future, Meng Xiang may be able to build a huge fleet. When the time comes, a visit to Tokyo Bay will no longer be a pipe dream.

So, Meng Xiang's eyes unconsciously aimed at the Jiaodong Peninsula.

Qingdao in the south doesn't need to think about it, it is all under the noses of others, and it can't develop at all.

The east side is remote, but the resources are insufficient. Especially energy, Meng Xiang doesn't remember that there were coal mines or anything like that in later generations. Relying on the blood supply of the main base alone is a bit too tiring, and once there is a problem, it will not be able to develop independently. Moreover, it is not convenient to come and go, and it is not suitable for being a hidden base at all.

The north could be considered.

Meng Xiang was pondering, and suddenly thought of a place - Zhaoyuan.

Zhaoyuan in later generations is well-known in the country, and in the final analysis, it is its gold, which ranks first in the country. Although Xinjiang Province and other places have larger reserves, the inconvenience of mining and transportation makes Zhaoyuan sit on the top spot.

And the development of the base is requiring a large amount of precious metals. According to Meng Xiang's observation, the exchange of transactions with the base is more cost-effective than silver. It's just that there is no corresponding channel, and it is not suitable for Meng to enjoy the exchange of silver dollars for gold.

Now with the science and technology center, the refinery can be built, and the comprehensive mining of precious metals is no longer out of reach.

Besides, it is not far from the coastline and relatively close to Yantai. After the sub-base is upgraded to Level 2, there are many places where shipyards can be built. Secretly develop the navy there, and at the beginning, the devils will not notice too much. By the time you notice, you'll probably be able to protect yourself.

Meng Xiang did not hesitate and acted immediately.

The seemingly slow base car is not too slow to move, and it is about the same as a human walking speed. It's not easy to do with that.

It is not possible to walk directly, it is too attention-grabbing.

It can only move at night, and the base car is only a rough outline wrapped in canvas. It doesn't reveal a more eye-catching metallic color.

He was accompanied by two companies led by Niu Yi and escorted by more than 400 people.

Two days ago, the number of soldiers under Meng Xiang's command exceeded 1,000 for the first time.

Twelve tank-factories produced very rudimentary World War I cars with some of the necessary supplies and defensive weapons, and several of them also pulled five 75 guns that had just been produced.

Although these cars may not be very good, they are cheaper. It only costs 100 yuan, one car in six hours, and soon enough to get 12 cars, which is convenient for travel. Later, the sub-base was settled, and it could also be used as a material transportation.

Since Meng Xiang was exhausted by the small cart, he decided to start making World War I cars. This car is better than a cart!

Niu Yi and they went out day and night, all the way mighty, although many people were alarmed along the way.

"Big, big, big brother, there's a big, big thing down the mountain! Very, heavy. Yes, yes, yes...... Stuff! There are still a lot of ...... "Although there is only one left eye left in one eye, and he is stammering, but with more than 30 years of experience in wandering, his remaining eye is a ghost, and he rarely sees when he loses his eye, and he is also a figure in the eyes of the three village owners in the cottage."

Today, the three owners of the village are at home, and they are congratulating the sixth lady of the village for marrying the owner of the village.

"Good things, you have to stay!" The half-drunk owner of the village drank a big bowl of wine arrogantly and said, "If you have been in my territory, you have to listen to me!" ”

The applause of the minions made one eye stammer for a long time, and not many people heard the unfinished words.

"Soldiers and guns!" One eye finally finished spitting out his words, and at this time, the second master who wanted to make a contribution had already led people out.

A burst of gunfire was heard that was more intense than firecrackers, and in less than ten minutes, everything was quiet again.

"Firecrackers went off? Going into the cave? The master of the big village, who was half-leaning on the tabletop, was at a forty-five-degree angle and half-squinted, and asked the cronies who were supporting him next to him.

The minion laughed back and said, "That's the second master shooting!" After saying that, I don't think it's right, how can the guns of the second village master make so many sounds, and such a dense sound is really firecrackers?

He didn't wait long for him to suspect it, the sound of firecrackers sounded nearby again, and after looking at the drunk owner of the village, he said hello to his accomplices and ran out to hear the news. But this time, he never came back.

In order to keep it a secret, Meng Xiang gave Niu a command along the way, but there was looting and resistance, killing, to kill completely.

This thoroughness made Niu Yi execute it very thoroughly. After the second boss was defeated, a team of clone soldiers rushed to the cottage again. The owner of the village happily went west in drunkenness.

Along the way, there were two companies of soldiers guarding the base car, but there were no big problems.

After nearly a hundred light and heavy machine guns eliminated three bandits who were planning to rob, the tail behind was gone.

The dogs also participated in the cleanup from time to time, and finally even the shadows behind them disappeared.

Because when passing through the town, it is a detour, and it is a night road, so it does not cause too much trouble. It's just that there are a lot of ghost legends left in the folk along the way, but without exception, there must be a huge monster among the protagonists in the current No. 3.

The protection personnel of the sub-base carried a radio station and contacted Meng Xiang in real time. Although there were no more looting, two radio stations were added. I only bought two, and after the base is upgraded, it can be self-produced, if it is not for urgent use, why spend this unjust money?

With timely contact, although Meng Xiang was a little worried, he didn't have to be too distracted, and still continued to arrange the production of the base.
