Although the construction of Yongxing Island has begun for a long time, it has not been very large.

The current construction methods are quite different from the Republic’s thirty years later. They are technically different. More importantly, Liu Yijiu chose a more stable construction method - increasing the structure of reinforced concrete to strengthen the strength of artificial land.

After all, when the Republic was built, due to technical argumentation issues, the land that was later expanded to Yongxing Island was repaired on a large scale, which was a very huge expense.

Now, I would rather build it longer and have higher costs. Liu Yijiu must also build this place into an extremely solid military base!

Yongxing Island, the largest island in the Xisha Islands, has no military port and the surrounding area, which makes warships unable to dock and have no supply bases. Usually, warships only pass by, and few stop here.

Now that two huge warships are stationed outside the island, it immediately aroused the cheers of the fishermen resting on the island, and waved to this side from a distance from the shore.

The construction of the above is starting to be carried out, which makes the fishermen who stayed on it most of the time very happy. After all, although there is fresh water on the E-Island, it can only be used for washing and cannot be drunk due to the pollution of bird droppings.

After the expansion of the island, the first thing to do was to build a number of people's livelihood projects, such as freshwater purification plants, power plants, post offices, etc.

The fishermen on the island no longer have to go to the South China Sea Island to purchase it because of daily supplies.

The country began to invest in construction in the South China Sea, which made them very excited.

In the past, they were the main force in protecting China's South China Sea rights and interests. Now there are soldiers coming, warships cruise from time to time, and even air force patrolling here. They all feel that with security, they just need to fish.

In the future, perhaps there will be many warships docked here...

"Master, why are you here?" When the fishing boat on the island took Liu Yijiu and others from the warship, Qin Huaibao, who was sent here, looked disbelieved.

He had no chance to survive, so Liu Yijiu asked him back to the base from the logistics department. After the child was born, he kicked him directly to the island and was responsible for the construction of the island.

"Come here to catch sharks and check the construction progress. How about it? Are you still used to it?" Liu Yijiu was a little angry at this apprentice who was several years older than him.

In the South China Sea, he wouldn't be unable to control his belt.

Fishermen. There are very few young people, if they have a strong taste, then...

"The construction progress here is very slow now, but with the improvement of the basic supporting projects, the construction speed here will become faster and faster..." Qin Huaibao naturally knew his problem and introduced the situation here to Liu Yijiu.

Now he is far from the attitude of not taking the heroes of the world seriously in the past.

"Take me on the island to see..." Liu Yijiu first landed on this island that had occupied the headlines of China and even the world for a long time in their world.

The primitive island environment is very attractive. Even Li Rui, a seasick person, was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery of the island.

"The island is 1,850 meters long from east to west and 1,160 meters wide from north to south. According to the construction drawings you provide, the main task is to establish an airport in the west and expand the port in the east. At present, our project is mainly built according to these two needs..." While walking, Qin Huaibao introduced the situation.

"How much has the progress been completed?" The Republic expanded the area of ​​the island by 40% in 16 months that year. Liu Yijiu knew that the current technical means and investment scale were incomparable. He planned to expand the area of ​​the island by 50% in four years.

"The expansion of the harbor has been completed by about one-fifth of the current progress, and the construction foundation of the airport has just begun. During this period, Monkey's warships are constantly conducting reconnaissance here. They have snatched several islands in front..." Qin Huaibao sighed.

"There are no warships patrolling here. Didn't the monkey's warship be driven out?" Liu Yijiu's brows frowned into the deep Sichuan character again.

"It's useless. Our South China Sea Fleet has a small number of warships and a small tonnage. Moreover, even if there is an air force patrol, when the air force comes, they will run away again..." The construction of Yongxing Island has great benefits for the rights and interests of the entire South China Sea, and even if anyone understands it, he can think clearly.

"Okay, I'm worried that these days are too boring..." Although I caught a shark, it was because the shark was too brave and ran into it on his own initiative.

If a monkey can run into it, he will naturally not miss it.

The monkey supported by the Soviet Union is now full of ambition...

That night, Liu Yijiu and others only rested on the island for a night. As the construction officer here, Qin Huaibao, a labor camper who could not appear outside, had all the preferential treatment from the technicians of the Ninth Academy, and even his family members were placed here.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will settle down here.

Wang Zixin was very grateful for Liu Yijiu's arrangements. That night, she took out all her skills to cure the shark.

Early the next morning, Liu Yijiu and others boarded the warships, and the two warships headed towards the Xisha Islands. Liu Yijiu insisted on going there to take a look.

Although Feng Suhang was very opposed to his decision, Deng Jianjun and others also expressed their opposition with some unspeakable purpose. Under the tough demands of Director Liu, who was rude in his work, there was not much opposition.

The Xisha Islands are composed of the Yongle Islands and the Xuande Islands. There are 22 islands, 7 sandbanks, and more than a dozen reefs and beaches. This generation has the saying that half are fish and half are water. Fishery resources are abundant. Since the 1950s, there have been no fewer conflicts between Vietnam and China. Even though the Vietnamese government recognized China's sovereignty over the Xisha Islands and the Nansha Islands in 1958, under the expansion of military strength and the instigation of the United States and the Soviet Union, it has always begun to seize these islands in China.

After all, the Paracel Islands are closer to Vietnam, and Chinese fighter jets cannot effectively patrol this area.

In 1956, the Saigon government of South Vietnam occupied the coral islands of the Xisha Islands. In 1974, the Vietnamese army occupied Ganquan Island and Treasure Island. On January 19 of that year, the Battle of Xisha broke out and the Vietnamese army was expelled from the entire Xisha Islands.

Yongxing Island belongs to the Xuande Islands. Not far to the west, there is also the larger Yongle Islands. These islands were once taken back by the Republic's Navy, but due to technical reasons and supply problems, there were not many outposts established there, mainly by fishermen.

Now the Vietnamese are supported by the Soviets, and the US imperialists have an ambiguous attitude on this, which gives Vietnamese an opportunity to take advantage of.

Now the Vietnamese know that they can't continue to tease China, so they learn to be smart. They no longer occupy the islands in the Xisha Islands. Fishing boats are fishing desperately here, and warships are also wandering here.

Moreover, the Nansha Islands further south occupy China's territory. China's fighter jets are not far enough here, and it is difficult for warships to get involved with them there because of their small tonnage and limited range.

The Yongle Islands are only forty nautical miles away from Yongxing Island. It only takes more than an hour for two huge warships to drive with all their might.

"I heard that the fishermen here often encounter Vietnamese fishing boats in the Xisha Sea, and there will be conflicts in the end?" Liu Yijiu asked Qin Huaibao who was following the ship.

"No, those bastards have guns. At the beginning, they just hit the fishing boats. When there were more fishing boats on our side, they started to put some earthen cannons on the fishing boats..." Qin Huaibao said gritting his teeth.

The situation here is not optimistic at all.

“How many fishing boats are here now?”

"Many..." There is no fishing moratorium and no ocean fishing boats. The fishermen on both archipelagos are fishing around the Paracel Islands.

"Director Liu, nothing has been discovered here. Why don't we go back..." Feng Suhang didn't dare to do whatever he wanted like Liu Yijiu and the others.

Once a large-scale conflict with the Vietnamese was triggered, he would be finished.

This ship belongs to the North Sea Fleet...

"What's the hurry? Lao Deng, your test has not been completed yet? The supply on the ship is full. How about we go for a walk in the Nansha Islands? Anyway, we are still in the waters of the Republic, and we have not gone abroad, and we don't violate discipline..." Liu Yijiu didn't want to go back like this.

"Director Liu, let's forget it in the South China Sea. You want to catch sharks. Last night, that was not enough for everyone to share. Otherwise, just fish here for a while?" Deng Jianjun was already very clear about what Liu Yijiu wanted to do.

It's definitely not allowed to do whatever he wants.

They have been in the South China Sea for a long time, so they naturally know that Vietnam has occupied the Republic's islands in the South China Sea.

The Vietnamese in the Xisha area are not that brave.

"Yes, Director Liu, the Nansha Islands are thousands of kilometers away from here, and it takes several days to go..." Wu Tianhai didn't want something to happen to Liu Yijiu.

If something happened to Liu Yijiu, let alone them, even the entire Ninth Courtyard would have to be finished.

"..." Liu Yijiu was speechless. He could not drive the warship to the south alone. "Then go west and see our fishermen fishing. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Our Ninth Courtyard needs a lot of seafood. We will collect their catches..."

Anyway, I just don't want to give up.

"Reporting to the head, our ship received a radio distress signal... Thirty nautical miles southwest of the relay island, our fishermen had a conflict with Vietnamese fishermen, and the Vietnamese army sent warships..." At this moment, a soldier with headphones on his head ran to the deck to face the captain Feng Suhang's report! To be continued.
Chapter completed!
