Chapter 184: Nanyang Sub-Base
"You're finally here!" Ye Zizhong excitedly walked to Niu Wu and the others who had just jumped off the rubber boat, and the figure of the Roman in the distance was slowly hidden into the night with the blowing of the sea breeze.
Looking at the standard military salute that Niu Wu saluted to himself, Ye Zizhong's eyes couldn't help but redden, and all the grievances were all wiped out in Niu Wu's familiar military salute. After the Battle of Songhu, he came from Nanyang to join the army, and joined the vanguard army in the song of defending the Yellow River. Just after completing a month of initial training as a recruit, he was sent back to Sepasu.
When he first came back, he also caused a lot of gossip, he was the one who wrote a bloody letter and insisted on joining the army, and he was the one who ran back early two months later. Thinking of what Master Meng said to himself when he came, he endured these grievances, and continued to use his family's small forces in the local area, together with the vanguard army and the three soldiers who came back with him, to start a nearby prospecting trip.
After more than half a month of trekking, Xu Kexia, who was traveling with him, finally discovered a coal mine in the south of Saipasu. After the preliminary estimation of Xu Kexia, who studied geology, the reserves are still very large. The news was quickly transmitted back to the headquarters of the Vanguard Army through the radio waves, which also made Meng Xiang directly abandon Africa and finally choose Saipasu.
Meng Xiang was not greedy at this time, and when he was still threatened by himself in China, he just wanted to establish a suitable springboard for the outside world first.
Nanyang has abundant mineral resources for the base to use, and if it is well run, Meng Xiang does not need to invest more money in it, but maybe he can get back some of the money. There are as many as 10 million Chinese in Nanyang, and it is even more convenient to develop personnel nearby. The main thing is that it won't be long before the South Seas will become another battlefield.
At that time, the Chinese in this land will usher in another suffering.
The new colonists cared only about their wealth. Once again, their defenseless wealth has brought them to their deaths.
Meng Xiang has already asked Xiaohua, the foreign space barrier is undoubtedly the weakest, and it is the least affected by time and space control. Especially in Nanyang, it can be said that there are no taboos.
The old colonial order is bound to be broken, and what Meng Xiang wants to do is to establish a new order in this land that bears the suffering of many Chinese.
With $100,000 in bank accounts from the Vanguards, Ye Zizhong bought a large tract of land in the vicinity in the name of opening up a plantation. The rest of the money was enough to deal with the local natives and Dutch. The remote Saipasu is not as prosperous as Bali, it is rare to see one or two figures for hundreds of miles outside the small town, and the land purchased by Ye Zizhong is a large area of undeveloped rainforest, and the cost of development and the disturbance of the local natives alone are enough to deter everyone. Even in later generations, most of Kalimantan remained undeveloped. Because Ye Zizhong has already famously said that this is a partnership with others, the persuasion of people in the family has not been successful, so they will not say more, as long as Ye Zizhong does not use the family's funds, there is no need to stop this.
After Ye Zizhong and Xu Kexia stayed for a while, they continued to go back to contact the surrounding forces.
After scouting that there were no other eyeliners around, the rear tail of the Roma was opened, and the catamaran-like hull was sandwiched between the massive figure of the base vehicle floating on the water.
There is no need for any boarding equipment, and the base car will land directly on the shore slowly.
The base car travels slowly through the rainforest, at a speed of almost 3 kilometers per hour, but it never stops. The dwarf trees and vines in the rainforest could not stop the strong power of the base car at all, and they were all crushed to the ground. Except for the vegetation on the periphery that has been restored to camouflage by the clones, there is no need to care about the inside, and the unique growth rate of the rainforest makes it flourish again in less than a month. And the next road to the center of the sub-base can also be built with the help of this ready-made passage.
After advancing more than 50 kilometers, the base vehicle, which was already a long distance outside the maximum range of naval guns, finally spread its huge body in a glade. On this day, March 1, 1937, a symbol of a new history has been written on the thick historical picture.
The 28 clone soldiers who accompanied them once again escorted the base car, and under Meng Xiang's long-distance remote control, they began production and construction, becoming the new pioneers on the sub-base.
Although the area under the direct jurisdiction of the second-level main base is only 100 kilometers, the distance of its communication control sub-bases has reached 10,000 kilometers. When Meng Xiang asked Xiaohua if the control distance of the first-level main base was 1,000 kilometers, Meng Xiang almost determined the concept of 100 times the direct jurisdiction.
This time, thanks to the presence of 28 soldiers armed with Suomi and MG-34 patrolling the perimeter, safety was ensured at the beginning. Therefore, Meng Xiang did not build a barracks first, but first built a mining plant and a power plant 2 kilometers from the sub-base to the sea. This is right here in the proven coal veins and can be mined locally to save time.
When the barracks were erected, Meng Xiang found the feeling he had when he first came to this world.
Next up is the tank factory. As in the game, mining carts cannot be produced without a vehicle factory.
There is only one mining vehicle, which can only be used as a supply power station. Although electricity was scarce, the barracks and the mining plant were not in operation, and the newly built tank factory finally produced a mining vehicle.
With the supply of electricity, Mengxiang quickly upgraded the sub-base. A day later, the Nanyang sub-base was also successfully upgraded to Level 2. The area under its jurisdiction was suddenly expanded, and two suitable sites for the construction of deep-water wharves were delineated. One is 63 kilometers away from the center of the base, and the other is 71 kilometers away, and it is divided into two places: north and south. Especially the 71-kilometer one on the south side, right in a small harbor, with two hills in front of it, is the most hidden.
"I ordered the construction of a shipyard! Here, built with here. Meng Xiang did not hesitate and directly built two shipyards. Even if the base has a short time to produce ships, it is still measured in months, and the clouds of World War II have begun to spread, so we must seize the time to make a big profit before the war.
The rest of the steps are just a desperate Burst Mining Cart, which is cheap but can provide a lot of money when the coal is large. Otherwise, just relying on the transfer funds from the main base, it will take tens of millions to complete the construction and upgrading of the sub-base.
"Expand your search and continue to look for new mines!" Relying only on coal, Meng Xiang is indeed a little unwilling, and the Nanyang region is rich in mineral resources in later generations, and may be able to find new minerals to replace the low value of coal.
"Found a lot of high-quality wood, do you need to recycle it?" The mining vehicle had not gone far before a signal came from the set detection system.
Meng Xiang looked at the price, it was not very high, although it was higher than the price in reality, but after Meng Xiang thought about it, he hesitated and said: "Don't develop it for the time being, continue to look for it!" ”
So the four mining trucks continued to split up and continue to search around.
Unlike ordinary people who can judge and analyze according to the surrounding geological conditions, the mining vehicle only relies on the detection range of only ten meters, and continues to advance step by step, although this detection is accurate, but it takes too long. Finding minerals can only be a needle-in-a-haystack of luck.
"The shipyard has been built!" The remote control of the little flower is very timely.
"Level up!" Meng Xiang ordered directly. Without upgrades, there is no such fast manufacturing speed, and the price concession also needs to be discounted.
Not far from where the Roma once docked by the sea, a huge fortress has been built, hidden in the tropical jungle, where it will be the headquarters of the Vanguard in the South Seas.
"Stand upright! Turn left! Turn back! ”
At this time, Ye Zizhong was leading 52 Nanyang children to be trained in the recruit queue. The clones who came from the guard sub-base were already at least third-level veterans. The 6 drawn out, as always, maintain the harshness of the clone instructor.
The children of Nanyang generally have a higher level of education, and it is a pity that they use them as infantry, and there are a large number of cannon fodder in the country who can fight with guns. Meng Xiang's plan for them is to develop towards the navy and air force.
Many Chinese in Nanyang are very familiar with navigation, it is very convenient to recruit sailors, and the only headache is the senior officers, which can only be found slowly.
The Air Force is simpler, as long as there are planes, practice makes perfect with more contacts, and it can still fight.
As long as there is coal here, there is an ore refining workshop, and there is no shortage of oil for the time being. Moreover, there is no blockade here, and it is cheaper to buy it directly than to produce it on the base. With fuel, Meng Xiang is not afraid of equipment consumption.
"If you find oil resources, do you exploit them?" Just when Meng Xiang was still worried about no longer needing to worry about oil, the mining truck was loaded with big luck.
"That's a lot of reserves!" Although it is not known how much there is, the area where the mining truck passes is marked with the presence of oil, indicating that the reserves are absolutely indispensable.
"Open! Exploitation! Meng Xiang danced happily.
Through the recovery test to the base, Meng Xiang has tested the price of oil. Thanks to the high price of oil in later generations, it is undoubtedly cost-effective to exchange oil for money. The price of oil is much higher than the current outside world, if it weren't for the blockade of the devils, Meng Xiang would have planned to buy oil directly in exchange for money.
Oil can not only fuel power stations, but also exchange for money. The price of coal for money is too uneconomical, so it is better to use it to provide electricity directly.
"One oil well needs 100,000?" Meng Xiang looked at it for a long time and found that there was a new building. 100,000 yuan is not much.
"I order, build an oil well here!"
In the middle of the dense forest, it took just over two days to quickly erect its first oil well.
"Level up!" Meng Xiang ordered without hesitation. Oil wells are cheap, but the production capacity of first-class oil wells is not very high, and only one ton of crude oil is produced per hour. And the detection depth is only 1,000 meters.
The upgrade was rapid, and it wasn't long before data from the secondary wells showed up.
"10 tons per hour, the detection depth is 2 kilometers, not bad!" Meng Xiang counted on his fingers for a long time, and there was 240 tons of oil output every day. The price of a ton of oil recovery is more than 30 yuan. At the end of the day, it was seven or eight thousand yuan.
"Keep building oil wells! Two are under construction! "The oil well only has the control value of three stars, and the oil well is directly connected to the pipeline to the mining plant and the power plant, which makes the mining vehicle liberated, so much convenience, not more production, sorry Meng has been waiting for so long.
Two more oil wells were erected in the dense forest, surrounded by tall trees in the tropical rainforest, this kind of inhabited place, few people are not seen all year round, and there are clones patrolling and guarding, which makes Meng Xiang feel at ease and boldly exploit oil.
The production volume of the three oil wells made Meng Xiang's heart relax suddenly, although he couldn't get rich all of a sudden, it was enough to meet the production of the sub-base.
"Build three Bavarian battleships!" As soon as the shipbuilding center was completed, Meng Xiang directly gave the order. In that transaction, Meng Xiang had already seen that as long as the battleship was built and the quality was fine, the Germans needed it, and the more the merrier. The three production lines of the two shipyards were occupied at once, and the remaining one, Meng Xiang planned to build a thousand-ton destroyer or light cruiser, which would be used for military training first.
"What should you build?" Meng Xiang thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have any impression at all. It is better to use a warship from the First World War, which is cheap and affordable.
"Report to the commander, the weapon has been loaded!" Rat Er received a signal from Niu Wu through the sub-base, and the guns produced by the sub-base had been loaded onto the ship. The Roma is about to set off again.
"Let's go!" Meng Xiang ordered. He looked at the map, made a gesture, and said to himself, "India is very close to there!" ”
