Chapter 606: Readjustment of Sub-bases (II)
Chapter 606 Sub-base Readjustment
Meng Xiang planned to transfer a total of eight base vehicles this time. In addition to the three new base vehicles in the Americas, two in Africa and Antarctica, two new base vehicles are planned to be installed in Australia.
Originally, Australia had already placed a sub-base, which was now near Rockhampton on the east coast. The main thing is that Meng Xiang remembers that there is one of Australia's largest coal mines, which facilitates the installation of sub-bases.
After the completion of the sub-base, with the inexhaustible search, a large number of coal resources were found nearby, that is, the later Born Basin coalfield. However, after the transfer, a nearby sub-base is sufficient. It's just that the sub-base was moved south to the south of Gladstone, which can directly cover Brisbane, Australia's largest port city in the future.
Australia's vast expanses of land cannot be controlled by one or two sub-bases, and many places have no coal and oil resources to exploit. For example, the iron ore near Hamersley in Australia, the bauxite near Weipa and Kimberley, and the various metals near Mount Issa are all famous in later generations, but because many resources were discovered after World War II, they are not in a hurry, and the strategic utilization rate for the next step is relatively low, but it is not as important as the British and American pedals in Australia and the granary in the southwest in the future.
In the next step, if the war in Southeast Asia breaks out, Britain and the United States will definitely settle in Australia, and Meng Xianglai, who has already regarded Australia as his bag, must make plans in advance. So he planned to install two sub-bases in southwest Australia to fully control the essence of Australia at this time.
One is located between Sydney and Canberra, and the Sydney Basin is rich in coal resources to cope with the expansion of the sub-base.
The other, originally planned to be installed near Mali, to the north of Lake El, has rich oil and gas reserves. Although there are many offshore oil and gas resources off the coast of Australia, Meng Xiang has few impressions in his mind, only remembering Lake Eyre. Meng Xiang wanted to control the ports of Piri and Augusta in the south, as well as Broken Hill, Australia's largest future copper, lead and silver mining center, so he took the central location of Mali.
However, after the spies who went to Australia to explore unexpectedly discovered Mali's rich coal resources with the help of a few local Chinese, the best location of the sub-base was to move south, all the way to the south of Port Augusta. In this way, the transferred sub-base could control the entire Spaside Bay, collect all the surrounding resources and ports in their hands, and also cut off the possibility of Britain and the United States docking warships freely again in the future.
And other places, in the future strategic structure, will make Britain and the United States even more helpless. Like Paz, a city that thrived up because of the gold rush could dock warships, the thousands of miles inland from Paz were desolate deserts and wastelands. After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Xiang still abandoned the plan to set up a sub-base here, and after the global structure, the resources of the sub-base were relatively scarce.
Unconsciously, Meng Xiang has already installed 20 sub-bases abroad. Fortunately, in addition to the three base vehicles newly sent to the Americas, the base vehicles sent to other places such as Africa and Antarctica were not sent out until April 21, when the base adjustment was completed, otherwise Meng Xiang would not dare to make such a big move. In the end, the result needs to be stable in the country before we can talk about outward growth.
It's just that there are so many bases at once, and the country is also stretched. If it weren't for the fact that the country was much more stable, Meng Xiang would not have the confidence to grow outward.
With the addition of the main base, there are only 16 bases left in the country, which can only be installed where they are most needed.
The main base is located in Zhongnan Mountain and has not been moved, but it has covered Chang'an, Tianshui, Hanzhong, Yuncheng, Lingbao, Shangluo, Yan'an and other places.
A sub-base to the west of the main base is placed in the north of Lanzhou near Baiyin, which can control Xining, Jinchang, Yinchuan and other places.
To the west, at this time, only two sub-bases near Kashgar and Dihua were to control, to deal with the threat of Soviet Russia, in addition to these two sub-bases, there were only sub-bases near Lanzhou to make up for the loss in the west, fortunately, the railway to Urumqi had just been completed, which was also a little confidence for Meng Xiang to dare to adjust the northwest sub-base.
The north side of the main base has also been adjusted, and the original sub-base near Liangcheng has moved south towards the vicinity of the Qingshui River, so that it can directly control Baotou, Guisui, Ordos, Yulin, Taiyuan, Zhangjiakou, and Datong. And it was connected to the sub-base in Beiping.
The sub-base in Beiping is still connected to the vicinity of Xishan, and by the way, it also covers Shijiazhuang, Cangzhou, Tianjin, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao, Chengde, Zhangjiakou and other places. The purpose of the Northeast bid is also connected to the sub-base set up near Jinzhou.
In order to consolidate the defense ground for the purpose of the northeast mark and the next strategic arrangement, the sub-base originally set up near Fuxin was transferred to the south and transferred to the vicinity of Jinzhou, so that it could not only hold the defense near the Liaohe River, but also cover the entire Liaodong Peninsula to the east, and cooperate with the sub-base on the Shandong Peninsula to completely control the Bohai Sea.
The Shandong Peninsula also has a sub-base because of the concentration of shipyards and the need for the Bohai Sea and part of the Yellow Sea. However, because the sub-base of Qidu has not been moved, there is a great overlap in some areas. However, the first time Meng Xiang came to this world, it was here, although after the main base was moved, it was reduced to a sub-base. But it was still the expansion of the base car that made Meng Xiang remember.
Whether it was to keep some memories or hope that one day he could communicate with the original world again, in short, Meng Xiang chose to continue to preserve that punishment base.
But there is only a sub-base in Tianmu Mountain to the south, although it includes Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other places of wealth in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the section between Bengbu and Xuzhou is temporarily not controlled by the base.
However, because the base is limited at this time, we can only wait for the production of new base vehicles later to fill this gap.
Similarly, there is no sub-base in the vicinity of Zhengzhou for the time being, and only the existing military strength of the vanguard army at this time is consolidated. However, whether it is the Central Army or other forces facing the country at this time, it is not a big threat, and even the second-line infantry of the vanguard army can be suppressed. What's more, the support of nearby weapons and equipment can be supported through nearby sub-bases.
The main base of Chang'an can be controlled all the way to the vicinity of Yima, the sub-base of Qidu can be controlled to the vicinity of Heze, and the sub-base near Wuhan in the south can also be extended to Zhumadian, and convenient transportation can also quickly provide logistical support. What's more, Sichuan, which was held by the Central Army, the biggest enemy, already has a sub-base to expand there, which is enough to control the growth of the situation.
In order to meet the threat of the enemy, only in the south, in order to meet the threat of the enemy, two sub-bases were kept near Shaoguan in Guangdong and near Fuzhou in Fujian, one to deal with the threat of people, and the other to ensure the stability of the newly occupied land.
In addition, in order to cope with the recent tense fighting, Meng Xiang left two front-line sub-bases near Erenhot and Huolin Gol to support daily attrition. So far, the 16 sub-bases in China have been divided. And there are still many areas that have not yet been controlled.
"It seems that a 300-kilometer radius is still not working, and if it is larger, only one is enough for some premises. At the moment, we can only hope that the transistor will be developed soon! Meng Xiang looked at the world map and found that there were still many places that needed to be controlled, and he couldn't help but think in his heart.
Fortunately for Meng Xiang, after the base was adjusted, the total number of stars of the ordinary sub-bases had reached 360, and the control star value of the main base had been increased to 1080, but it made up for the problem of the remaining base buildings when the sub-bases were transferred. Coupled with the ammunition and secret materials accumulated before, there was no outbreak of major war during the adjustment period, and in fact, it did not bear the logistical needs of the domestic vanguard army.
In the next battle against Soviet Russia, Meng Xiang also assembled three sub-bases in Outer Gate G and Siberia, ready to meet the next violent attack of Soviet Russia.
In the past few days, when Meng Xiang was busy adjusting the base, Soviet Russia had gathered more than 300,000 troops to suppress the gap between the outer gates.
"I'm ready, whether it's thunder or a blizzard, just come on!" Looking at the red dots placed on the world map, Meng Xiang breathed a sigh of relief
