Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

656 Shipyard No.

"Brother Afeng, please take a car with me.

Tell me about Dockyard Three."

At the gate of the manor, Ye Qingfeng instinctively wanted to get into the car behind.

He was stopped by Ye Qingshan.

"it is good."

Ye Qingfeng turned around and came back.

The convoy sets off.

Ye Qingshan first looked at the telegram in his hand, which was sent by Ning Yongchen and contained detailed information about the failed German landing operation on the British mainland.

The content was very long, and it took Ye Qingshan more than ten minutes to finish reading it.

"Hey!"

After reading it, Ye Qingshan sighed.

In Ye Qingshan's opinion, the main reason for the German landing failure was just as he had guessed before.

The delay was too long, allowing the British to recover with the crazy blood transfusion from the Americans.

In the end, the German army failed to cross the English Channel.

Ye Qingshan didn't say anything else. He just folded the telegram and put it in his pocket.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Ye Qingfeng who had been silent: "Brother Feng, tell me about the situation at the No. 3 Shipyard."

"it is good."

After hearing Ye Qingshan speak, Ye Qingfeng finally dared to speak.

Just now, Ye Qingshan had been reading the telegram in his hand, making Ye Qingfeng, who was standing next to him, dare not even breathe.

To be honest, Ye Qingfeng is not very willing to be alone with Ye Qingshan now.

The pressure from Ye Qingshan became heavier and heavier.

He always unconsciously brings a lot of pressure to the people around him, and Ye Qingfeng is no exception.

At this time, Ye Qingfeng put away the random thoughts in his mind and introduced to Ye Qingshan: "Ashan, the No. 3 shipyard is not under the name of our group.

The largest and most profitable shipyard.”

"I know this."

Ye Qingshan nodded.

At this time, with Ye Qingshan's special instructions, the group acquired seven shipyards in two years.

Ye Qingshan needs to select one of these seven large shipyards to secretly build a Type XXI submarine for him.

At present, Ye Qingshan’s favorite is the No. 3 Shipyard.

Although it is not the largest and most efficient shipyard under the group, these are not the main requirements for Ye Qingshan to choose it to manufacture submarines.

On the contrary, the shipyard that met these conditions was first excluded by Ye Qingshan.

The target is too big and too conspicuous, which is not good.

Since the XXI submarine is being built in secret, first of all, the location of the shipyard must not attract too much attention, and Shipyard No. 3 is suitable for this.

Because this shipyard is far away from the city, in a deserted bay.

The second condition is that the people inside must be reliable.

Loyalty is unlikely, but it is reliable as long as a confidentiality agreement is signed.

In addition, Ye Qingshan will send armed security forces to take charge in the later stage, which will be enough to ensure that the secrets will not be leaked.

“Shipyard No. 3 was acquired by Anthony with our help.

It was a shipyard built during World War I. It not only built fishing boats and transport ships, but also helped the US military build warships and submarines.

However, the family that owned the shipyard later fell into bankruptcy.

This also caused problems in the operation of the shipyard.

Eventually, the owner was forced to sell the shipyard to recover the funds.

Nearly a year after the No. 3 Shipyard was acquired by the group, it has resumed normal production.

A group of skilled workers with rich construction experience were also retained in the factory.

In two months, the shipyard has been able to break even and be self-sufficient.”

Ye Qingshan didn’t pay much attention to what Ye Qingfeng said next.

The main thing is that in the previous words, it was mentioned that the No. 3 Shipyard once built warships and submarines for the US military, and all of these technicians stayed.

This is the third reason why Ye Qingshan chose Shipyard No. 3.

The construction of a submarine is different from that of an ordinary ship. If you have no experience, you may waste a lot of time figuring it out.

If there are masters with experience in building submarines, then Ye Qingshan will provide the design drawings of the XXI submarine and give them some time.

It shouldn't be a problem to manufacture it.

After all, the Type XXI submarine is still a product of this era and not too advanced.

Even though many new technologies are used above, the supply chain for other parts can still be found in the United States.

For example, the materials required for navigation systems, diesel engines, electric motors, and the manufacturing supply chain for these devices.

You can find it here in the US.

This is also the fourth reason why Ye Qingshan took the risk to secretly manufacture Type XXI submarines in a shipyard in the United States.

Ye Qingshan also knew that if he returned to China to manufacture, he could go to the shipyard in Western Australia to manufacture Type XXI submarines.

It will definitely be safer and easier to keep confidential.

But whether in China or in Western Australia, Ye Qingshan has a serious problem that he cannot solve.

That's the supply chain problem.

Here in the United States, shipyards can buy whatever spare parts they need on the market.

If something is not available on the market, we can also purchase raw materials and produce it ourselves.

After all, the United States of this era is the "world factory" with the strongest industrial manufacturing capabilities.

"Now, are there many orders for Shipyard No. 3?"

Ye Qingshan asked.

"not many."

The convoy drove for more than two hours and was already a long distance away from downtown San Francisco before finally arriving at Shipyard No. 3.

Ye Qingshan called in advance and informed the factory manager here.

When they arrived, the factory manager was already waiting for him.

After getting off the car, Ye Qingshan looked at the shipyard surrounded by mountains and forests and was very satisfied with its location.

Quiet and secluded.

Half a day later, Ye Qingshan sat in the office of the director of the No. 3 Shipyard and said, "Starting from tomorrow.

Transfer all existing orders of your shipyard to other shipyards in the group.

Next, your Shipyard No. 3 will be responsible for manufacturing submarines."

After hearing this, Factory Director Poker asked curiously, "Mr. President, is this a submarine order from the military?"

"So be it.

You don’t need to worry about this.”

Ye Qingshan said vaguely.

He will have to ask Charles for help to solve this problem later.

Ye Qingshan needs to obtain authorization from the US military to manufacture an old type of submarine to cover up the secret manufacture of Type XXI submarines.

Otherwise, it would be unacceptable for a shipyard to manufacture submarines, no matter how confidential it is.

Word may also get out.

If Ye Qingshan does not find a cover, once the news gets out, it is likely to attract American intelligence agents.

That would be troublesome.

But if there is authorization to build old submarines, even if the news gets out.

Letting some people know that Shipyard No. 3 is building submarines won't cause any trouble, after all, the procedures are completely legal.

Who knows what kind of submarine is built inside?
