Bright Sword: I am the old squad leader of the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle

Chapter 345 We Don’t Build Battleships

Ling Yunzhi got on the off-road jeep, and several senior naval generals also got on the off-road jeep.

Most of the navy were on the dozen or so heavy trucks at the back.

Soon, the dozen or so cars sped away into the distance.

The shipyard is not far from the port terminal.

After driving for more than half an hour, we arrived at the shipyard.

When people saw the shipyard, they were shocked. In addition to cargo ships, there were warships in the shipyard.

Since Zhang Dabiao has sent people to occupy the shipyard, all the warships in the shipyard now belong to Ling Yunzhi.

When they arrived outside the shipyard, they all exclaimed in admiration.

"This shipyard was built by Marshal Zhang during his time."

"Now these little devils have expanded the scale of the shipyard by at least five or six times. I didn't expect that after these little devils were busy for such a long time, they would eventually let this shipyard fall into our hands."

"If these little Japanese soldiers saw the photos and fell into our hands, they would cry so hard that they would die."

"No matter what, brothers, follow me and take a good look at these shipyards."

Everyone went downstairs.

The vehicle stopped at the shipyard. When they saw the merchant ships that had been built but not yet delivered, they were all very happy.

Ling Yunzhi had seen this shipyard before he traveled through time.

At that time, the shipyard in Yingkou was much larger than this shipyard, but Ling Yunzhi knew that Northeast China had plenty of steel, and now it has plenty of oil.

Industrial upgrading in Northeast China will soon be greatly strengthened.

By that time, they will have as many warships as they want.

"Call your factory director over to me. I want to ask him some questions." He waved to the shipyard staff, and they nodded quickly. The factory director of the shipyard came over without them having to call him.

"My name is Li Xiang, sir." The director of the shipyard raised his right hand and saluted Ling Yunzhi.

"Why, you were a soldier before?" Ling Yunzhi asked with some confusion.

Li Xiang nodded.

"Report to the commander, I am not only a soldier, I am also an underground worker of the Party.

Ever since I entered this shipyard in Northeast China, the Japanese have trusted me even more.

I gradually rose to the position of director of this shipyard."

Ling Yunzhi was overjoyed after hearing this, it is true that everyone in the world is omnipotent.

"Not bad, not bad. It really surprised me."

"How many warships and cargo ships are there in this shipyard now?"

Li Xiang took Ling Yunzhi to visit the shipyard with a smile.

"Sir, there are 48 ships in this shipyard now."

"Eighteen of them are warships and the remaining 18 are all cargo ships.

The maximum displacement of these cargo ships reaches many tons.”

"However, the largest of these warships are destroyers with a displacement of 2000 tons."

"The Japanese don't trust our shipyards, and they only produce destroyers and frigates in our shipyards.

Besides this, he also produced torpedo boats in our shipyard.

The Japanese aircraft carriers, cruisers and battleships were all produced in their own shipyards.”

Ling Yunzhi nodded. The Japanese finally lost trust in our shipyard.

"Then can our shipyards produce battleships and aircraft carriers?"

As soon as Ling Yunzhi said this, the factory director hesitated.

"Is there any difficulty?"

"We lack the relevant drawings and technologies, and we have no experience in building large warships."

Ling Yunzhi smiled slightly when he heard it.

“No captain has relevant experience from the beginning. Experience is accumulated bit by bit.

As long as you start building, you will gain experience, even if you don’t build it well at first.”

After hearing this, the factory manager nodded repeatedly.

"The commander is right. No one has experience at the beginning.

We have experience in producing cargo ships, and we also have experience in producing warships.

As long as we combine these two experiences, we will be able to produce large warships.

It is not impossible to produce aircraft carriers and battleships by then."

Ling Yunzhi knew that after the end of World War II, battleships had been swept into the dustbin of history and became exhibits in museums.

He shook his head.

"I don't need battleships, they're time-consuming, labor-intensive, and rubbish.

Our navy will not need battleships in the future."

As soon as Ling Yunzhi said this, although the other naval generals did not dare to object, they all denied Ling Yunzhi's statement in their hearts.

"I know you may be confused about what I said." Ling Yunzhi turned around and said to Wang Dayang and the others.

"The Japanese attacked two super battleships, the full load displacement of these two super battleships reached tons.

The Japanese spent a lot of money on these two super battleships, and it took more than eight years to build these two battleships.

But I can tell you this, if we have enough planes to bomb these little Japanese battleships, we can use hundreds of torpedoes to completely sink this battleship. "

After Ling Yunzhi said this, everyone nodded. They knew the huge role torpedoes played in modern naval warfare.

"Sir, let alone hundreds of torpedoes against a battleship with a displacement of more than 100 tons, even if there are heavy torpedoes, they can sink it." Li Xiang said quickly.

Ling Yunzhi nodded.

"That's the thing. We need to vigorously develop aircraft carriers.

No matter how far the battleship's artillery can fire, it can only reach 40 nautical miles.

But if we have a large number of aircraft carriers, if we have more than a dozen aircraft carriers, the number of carrier-based aircraft taking off one after another can reach six or seven hundred.

Each carrier-based aircraft carries 1 to 2 torpedoes.

We can completely wipe out the Japanese combined fleet."

When the naval generals heard this, they nodded repeatedly, their thinking still stuck in the past decade.

But Ling Yunzhi's words suddenly made them feel enlightened.

This is the case.

"Sir, this fire means that battleships will no longer be part of history."

After hearing this, Ling Yunzhi gave a thumbs up.

"That's right. Battleships will be useless in the future. It takes a long time and costs a lot of money to build them. The money used to build a super battleship can be used to build several medium-sized aircraft carriers."

After Ling Yun finished speaking, he pointed at the warships and then at the cargo ships.
