Chapter 267 Zhoushan Military Port

When a large number of ordinary people who participated in the labor force saw that it was Ye Feng, everyone immediately cheered. Ye Feng waved to everyone and showed that Ye Feng had a high status in the minds of the general public, and everyone absolutely supported Ye Feng.

Later, Ye Feng climbed to the top of the airport command building under construction and stood on the top of the building that was more than ten meters high. Looking around, Ye Feng was also full of energy and ambitious when he saw the majestic Ningbo Airport.

"Martial Commander, once our Ningbo Airport is put into use, our air force will increase exponentially." Guo Weiquan, the chief of staff next to him, was also very excited and ambitious.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng nodded, looked at the direction of the East China Sea, and thought to himself that once Ningbo Airport is put into use, a large area of ​​the East China Sea is within the combat radius of his own fighter jets. If the Japanese fleet dares to approach, he will definitely have the strength to fight with him.

In the morning, Ye Feng, accompanied by Guo Weiquan, conducted a detailed inspection at Ningbo Airport and gained a detailed understanding of the entire Ningbo Airport. In the afternoon, Ye Feng, accompanied by Guo Weiquan, took a boat to the Zhoushan Islands to inspect the Zhoushan Military Port under construction.

The Zhoushan Islands are not far from Ningbo, near Hangzhou Bay to the west, and not far from the east is the vast East China Sea, with a wide golden waterway, which is a golden place for building excellent military ports.

At the beginning, it was planned to build a large military port in Ningbo. After inspecting it, engineer Liang Xiaolong selected Zhoushan Islands and built a large military port here. This military port was originally designed as Ningbo Military Port, but now everyone is gradually accustomed to being called Zhoushan Military Port.

A military port, that is, a port used by the army, is a port dedicated to naval ships. It is used for ships to berth, supply, construction, shelter from the wind and obtain combat, technology, logistics and other support. It is also called a naval base, with corresponding equipment and defense facilities.

The Zhoushan Islands have a wide water surface, good shelter conditions and sufficient water depth. They can provide access to large warships of 10,000 tons. The Zhoushan Islands are isolated from the mainland and have very high confidentiality. Liang Xiaolong is jealous. He actually chose such a good place to build a military port.

The ship that Ye Feng and others took was sailing from Ningbo Port and after a period of time, the ship was docked at the Zhoushan Military Port under construction.

The people who built Zhoushan Military Port were all soldiers, and no ordinary people participated in the construction. This was mainly for confidentiality considerations, and the Japanese would never know. There was actually a large naval base under construction here.

"Military throne. Look, this is our Zhoushan Military Port." Before he got off the boat, Liang Xiaolong, who accompanied him, pointed at the huge officer and introduced him enthusiastically.

"Martial throne, our Zhoushan military port is mainly composed of water and land. The water includes a harbor pool, an anchorage and an inlet and exit channel; the land includes a land with an adjacent water with appropriate coastline and depth. In addition, we are also planning to build a medium-sized airport within the land area, which can dock dozens of aircraft."

"Our Zhoushan Military Port Area has wharfs, water drums and other systems, and is built on ships; protective buildings such as breakwaters and shore protection; shipbuilding buildings such as docks and traversal channels; communication and navigation facilities such as radio stations, signal stations, lights and flags; facilities for supplying oil, water, electricity and heating to ships; repair shops (stations) for ships and their equipment; warehouses for ships such as sailing cables, military supplies, and military ordnance; transportation, loading and unloading facilities and crew life, culture, sports, and medical facilities."

"In addition, our large Zhoushan military port will also form a complete defense system with the airport and air-to-air firepower distribution system. After the construction of the entire military port will be as stable as Mount Tai, and little Japan will not have any idea. In addition, I also suggest setting up a management agency in the military port to be responsible for the use, management and dredging of port waters..."

When Liang Xiaolong introduced it, he still talked endlessly and spoke in great detail. While listening to Liang Xiaolong's explanation and introduction, Ye Feng slowly got off the ship and went to various parts of the base to take a closer look.

Standing at the highest point of Zhoushan Naval Base, that is, the highest point of Zhoushan Military Port backed by the main island, overlooking this large naval base, Ye Feng could fully imagine the busyness of this area in the future, and a large number of warships would come and go. With this place as the center, his navy would gallop across the vast East China Sea and even the vast Pacific Ocean.

...

The wheels of history rolled forward, and it was September 1939.

The newly formed 6th Army started construction in early March and has been in full swing for half a year. In the past six months, it has not been harassed by the Japanese. With sufficient financial support and with everyone's joint efforts, the results have been gratifying.

The efficiency in wartime is often amazing, and people in peacetime often cannot imagine it. In just half a year, a large number of factories were completed and large industrial parks began to take shape.

In the civil industry, a series of factories have been put into production one after another, such as textile factories, cement factories, cigarette factories, wineries, flour factories, power plants, paper factories, rubber factories, oil refineries, steel factories, etc.

In the military industry, the size of Shannan County’s light weapons arsenal has more than doubled, and it can produce various models of Jialander rifles, Thomson submachine guns, various light and heavy machine guns, various rifles, machine gun bullets, etc.

The artillery factory has also begun to carry out small-scale production, which can produce various mortars, 105 howitzers, and heavy 155 howitzers have also begun to be trial-produced. There are ready-made mortars and howitzers as samples, and the artillery factory can completely copy them, saving a lot of development time.

The automobile factory has also begun to produce large trucks, cars, and off-road vehicles, and it is also imitated based on existing models. The armored vehicle factory has also begun to imitate m3 semi-track armored vehicles and various models of armored vehicles. The tank factory can imitate m4 Sherman medium tanks in less than a few months.

Ye Feng has the "Nuwa" system in hand and can completely imitate various equipment. In the near future, when the industrial scale will rise to a higher level, Ye Feng can even exchange some weapons and equipment from the system that have not yet been released for imitation.

Ye Feng can also redeem weapons and equipment that appeared in the late stage of World War II. Even if it is a little more expensive, just exchange one or two pieces as samples to make large-scale imitation.

As for technical strength, it is not a problem at all. A large number of various engineering and technical talents and various raw materials can be exchanged from the "Nuwa" system, and can also be continuously transported to Ningbo Port through overseas.

Max's "Pangu" company is booming, expanding its territory overseas, with large areas of oil fields in the Middle East and large areas of iron ore in Australia, and various resources are continuously transported by fleets.

Outside the outskirts of Ningbo, the chimneys are towering, and a huge steel plant has begun to be put into production. After more than half a year of construction, in early September, the first furnace of high-quality steel was refined. The newly-baked steel was processed into various steel and transported to various factories.

Oil refineries outside Ningbo have also begun to produce various types of fuel on a large scale, from aviation gasoline to various types of diesel, and the fuel reserves of the entire newly-organized 6th Army were suddenly filled.

The railway from Ningbo to Hangzhou has been fully opened to traffic, and several long trains transport a large amount of supplies back and forth every day. The Hangzhou-Ningxia Highway has been completely widened, and the spacious and flat roads have begun to be put into use.

Ningbo Airport has been fully put into use, and Hangzhou Airport has already entered a large number of aircraft, fighter jets, bombers, transport aircraft, etc. The Second Air Division has been established long ago and has been training for a while.

Zhoushan Military Port has also begun to take shape. The main project is almost completed. A large number of soldiers have entered the military port. Several destroyers and frigates have been docked in the military port. In addition, some submarines can be seen, and several submarines are docked next to the dock, revealing half of them.

Ningbo Shipyard has been under construction for several months. Since it has its own naval base, it is inevitable to develop a strong navy. Behind a strong navy, there must be a strong shipbuilding industry.

Although the "Nuwa" system can be exchanged for various warships, this is not a long-term solution. In addition, large warships, such as aircraft carriers, and battleships are of great value. If all rely on exchange, it will be difficult to support a powerful navy.

In the past few months, the newly formed 6th Army has almost no war, and there is almost no merit value in the "Nuwa" system. In the past few months, in order to develop troops, develop industries, exchange a large number of weapons and equipment, a large number of industrial equipment, various technologies and military talents, the merit value in the system has been very little left.

If the troops are expanded and the industrial scale is expanded, the various weapons and equipment, industrial equipment, etc. needed in the future are all redeemable, the merit value will definitely not be enough. The kingly way is to develop industry by yourself and produce various weapons and equipment.

In the past few months, the scale of the newly formed 6th Army troops has almost doubled to reach a scale of more than 200,000 people.

The entire 6th Army already has ten standard infantry divisions, two mechanized infantry divisions, two armored divisions, one heavy artillery division, two air divisions, and a naval base, as well as a series of various auxiliary troops.

In his office, Ye Feng read a report and the results were gratifying. The first year plan will definitely be completed ahead of schedule. The size of the troops has reached more than 200,000 people. However, Ye Feng was slightly worried.

The merit value in the "Nuwa" system is only tens of thousands, and Japan shows no sign of taking the initiative to attack itself. Maybe it suffered a big loss in the last attack. Okamura Yasuji did not dare to act rashly and ordered the Japanese troops near Hangzhou to adopt the main strategy of defense.
