Heavy Industry Empire

The military shipyard is no more than ten miles away from the base of the SEALs.The sea scorpion slowed down its speed and arrived at [-] knots in less than [-] minutes.The mighty gunboat ran back and forth on the sea.The observers on the watchtower of the base discovered it.Immediately the alarm bell rang.The SEALs boarded the ship quickly.Ten people per boat.Immediately after, the fishing boat increased its horsepower and slowly drove out.A few fishing boats still want to outflank it.Of course, it is impossible to outflank the sea scorpion with their speed.

It was Lee Cruise who came out.With five fishing boats.Seeing that it was a gunboat, he was also taken aback.Especially the long barrel of the sea scorpion is not easy to mess with at first glance.

"Heavy machine guns are ready. Bazookas and grenade launchers are ready." Li Xunxing issued orders one after another.This is the first time facing a gunboat.It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous.Needless to say hit.Just hit.People can also overturn the fishing boat.

There is no radio station on the fishing boat.You can only shout to the gunboat through the loudspeaker: "Listen to the other party's warship. You have broken into our military's sea defense zone. Please stop immediately for inspection."

"Please stop immediately and be inspected. Otherwise we will open fire."

Liu Tianling ignored him.Increase horsepower and charge on the sea.Set off a wave of white flowers.

Cruise Li got angry: "Warning fire. The rocket launcher fired two rounds."

"Yes." Two soldiers kneeling on the deck fired the rocket launchers carried on their shoulders.boom boom.There was a huge wave.

"This kid is really courageous. He is indeed a soldier who was recruited by me." Liu Tianling said cheerfully.

Xu Haifeng and Chen Qiang were a little scared.Both of them are technical.The sound of the rocket launcher was scary.

Liu Tianling slowly stopped the boat.Play back to play.Just scare them.If you really make an oolong, you will be embarrassed.

Fishing boats surrounded them.Li Xunxuan is really courageous.There are soldiers on each ship holding bazookas to withstand the sea scorpion gunboat.This is completely a lose-lose style of play.

Liu Tianling came out of the cab.Say aloud: "It's me. Your regiment leader."

Li Xunxuan was on guard with a machine gun.Seeing that it was Liu Tianling, he breathed a sigh of relief.He took off his hat and touched his sweat.

"It's scary if the head doesn't come. We are fishing boats. The fishing boats surround the gunboat. That's a lot of pressure."

"Haha. I think it's okay. It's doing well. How's it going? Brothers, come up and have a look. This is a new gunboat for you. It's called a sea scorpion gunboat." Liu Tianling laughed.

Li Xunxing was stunned: "This. Is this true? We have gunboats. Didn't they say that gunboats are very expensive?"

Li Xunhang and a few others climbed up the rope ladder and touched it.look west.Although the entire battleship is not big.But for those who spend the whole day in small fishing boats, they are simply handsome.

"What's the performance of this gunboat?" Li Xunxing asked.

"22 meters long. The widest part is seven meters. Displacement is 150 tons. The speed is forty knots. The speed is amazing. The armor is relatively weak. There are only ten millimeters of steel plate. It cannot withstand large-caliber naval guns. But this gunboat is fast. Mainly For air defense. See this long barrel. 360mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns. 8000-degree rotation. Both ground and air. The effective range is [-] meters." Liu Tianling introduced the parameters of the battleship.

"This is already very good. Not to mention anything else. As long as there are three such gunboats. I promise to wipe out all the nearby pirates in half a month." Li Xunhang said.

"That's what you said. What if you can't complete the task?"

Li Xunxuan scratched his head: "Captain Guan and I have discussed it. Even if there is no new warship, we will clean up the sea bandits on the sea within half a month. After all, we have rocket launchers, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns. Pirates They are all broken rifles. There are very few machine guns. So it is not a problem to deal with them. It’s just that having gunboats can reduce casualties.”

"Hehe. That's good. The main force in suppressing pirates is still the SEALs. But the Public Security Bureau also needs to contribute. This time it's up to Ma Feilong. The image of the Public Security Bureau must be changed. The suppression of pirates is an opportunity."

Guan Shijie who received the news also came.Everyone took turns driving the sea scorpion gunboat.Overall driving is not complicated.Just learn it and you can run on the sea.But it takes a lot of practice to become proficient.

"Captain, you really delivered. This is a real gunboat. Don't talk about anything else. Just talk about the speed. It's better than cruisers, battleships, and destroyers." Guan Shijie said with a playful smile.

"Aren't you talking nonsense. Can I play tricks on you. We are building a fleet in a serious manner. A fleet of our own. Understand."

"Yes." Guan Shijie saluted. "I heard from the captain that there is more than one warship."

"How many ships do you want?" Liu Tianling asked.

Guan Shijie discussed with Li Cruiser.Both of them are understanding people.An all-steel gunboat like this one.The power is so strong.Let alone tens of thousands of oceans.With such an expensive price, it is naturally impossible to equip as much at once.

"Three. Only three. With the original fishing boats, we can control the nearby waters." Guan Shijie said.

Liu Tianling said: "Look at the future of the two of you. The value of this gunboat is at least tens of catties of gold. But gold has a price. Dignity has no price. We will not let foreign fleets be arrogant in our waters. We must protect the people Safety. Protect the interests of fishermen. So three ships are far from enough."

Guan Shijie scratched his head: "Captain, it's not that I don't believe you. Our territory is developing well. But if you spend all your money on warships, what will you do with the money in other places. What's more, gunboats can't form a fleet. Even if Even a battleship from the Qing Dynasty costs hundreds of thousands of pounds. Our territory is still too small. We will not go bankrupt if we pay this way.”

Liu Tianling patted Guan Shijie on the shoulder: "The big battleships in the Qing Dynasty are no longer useful. We will not buy them either. An ordinary battleship is at least worth tens of thousands of gold. What's more, battleships alone are not enough. You two talk about which battleships a fleet needs."

"I know this. I read it in American newspapers. A powerful naval fleet needs a lot of warships. The first is an ocean overlord aircraft carrier. I haven't seen pictures. Anyway, this ship is too big. It's as big as a small county. There are dozens of planes on it. Aircraft carriers are armed with planes. Then there are battleships. Battleships have huge caliber naval guns. They have a long range and powerful firepower. Anyway, they are very big. There are cruisers, destroyers, and gunboats that are ours." Lee Cruise said.

Guan Shijie nodded: "Things have to take their time. Let's play with the gunboat first and then talk about other things. Let the blind man go into the bridal chamber and fumble around."

Next to him, Xu Haifeng almost burst out laughing: "You speak too loudly."

"Haha."

Liu Tianling said sternly: "I'm not joking. The military expenses of the fleet are not your concern. The navy will be established soon. At that time, the SEALs can only be classified as part of the navy. Your first task is to do a good job in training. .Firmly hold the fleet in our own hands."

Guan Shijie asked puzzled: "Could someone come to snatch the fleet?"

"Nonsense. Do you think the chairman of our fleet can sit still once the establishment of the fleet is established. The Northeast King can be indifferent. They will definitely send someone to win them over. If you can't control the fleet, be careful and I will kick you."

"Leader, don't worry. I guarantee that nothing will happen." The two said seriously.

"Okay. Do it well. I'll take care of the military expenses. The first batch of [-] Sea Scorpion-class gunboats. Pick up the ships in the bay of the military shipyard in the evening after three days."

Guan Shijie and Li Xunhang petrified on the spot.It took a long time to catch my breath.

"Yes. Understood."

Especially Guan Shijie's excited hands were shaking.I am usually a scholar with dreams.I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would become a captain.Twenty sea scorpion-class gunboats are already quite a force.With flexible tactics.It can even compete with the Bohai Fleet.The strength of Zhang Zongchang's Bohai Fleet is still good, including 3 cruisers.4 gunboats.3 destroyers.1 transport ship.It's just that bad soldiers have less training.Discipline is not correct.Corrupt officials and lazy soldiers.Despite this, it is still possible to rule the roost among warlords.Second only to the Northeast Army Fleet and the Chairman's Fleet.

There are still a lot of steel plates, copper and other materials needed for the manufacture of twenty Sea Scorpion-class gunboats.Liu Tianling immediately mobilized dozens of trucks to transport them here overnight.Not to mention how the machines are made.The matter of eliminating pirates has been put on the agenda.

The meeting was held in the Security Bureau conference room.Ma Feilong presided over the meeting.More than a dozen cadres from the Public Security Bureau are there.After some baptism.Those potbellies are long gone.All that remained were young men.Cruise Lee also attended on behalf of the SEALs.

Ma Feilong pulled out the huge map.Pointing to the map, he said: "There are five bands of pirates active on the Rizhao sea. They are not real pirates. They are all engaged in the business of robbing houses, killing people, kidnapping people. The first force is called Haisha. There are more than 100 people. There are about a dozen clippers that are the most powerful. They mainly rob merchant ships. They meet and disperse sometimes. Sometimes they commit crimes in our place and sell goods in Qingdao. Sometimes they commit crimes in Qingdao and sell goods in our place. The second group. It is called sea loach. The number of people is about 80. They are running around. They have no fixed place. They are very slippery. It is difficult to catch them. The third group is called. Brown sugar. It used to be a large group of pirates who let the SEALs smash their nests. Now The new leader came out. They specialize in kidnapping. The day before yesterday they just captured their second leader and five subordinates. But they still have dozens of brothers. I don’t know where they are. The fourth unit. The fifth unit It’s called Shuanglong Island. There are hundreds of people. But they are just fishermen entrenched on the island. Occasionally do some pirate work. And they have a fixed base. It’s relatively easy to fight. Let’s talk about your ideas.”

One said: "This is the last pirate. It must be destroyed as soon as possible. I think it should come one by one. First knock off the sea sand. Then there are sea loaches and brown sugar. As for those people on Shuanglong Island, they should be recruited. You can't blindly encircle and suppress them."
