Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Seeing his confident answer, Li Qinwu nodded and said, "Okay! Continue to implement the battle plan and set off! Target Jeju Island!"

Jeju Island is a volcanic island in the southern part of the peninsula. It covers an area of ​​about 1800 square kilometers, is 73 kilometers long from east to west and 41 kilometers wide from north to south.

There are more than 400 peaks and caves of different heights on the island, with a population of about 20. The island has a very important geographical location, connecting the north and the south, and is a battleground for military strategists. It is less than 500 kilometers away from Shanghai and 700 kilometers away from Nanjing. It was a bridgehead for the Japanese invasion of China.

During the Japanese occupation, the Japs vigorously developed this island and built many military ports and airports. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japs took off bombers from here and dropped a large number of bombs on Shanghai, Nanjing and other places.

When the Japanese army set out, they would set sail from the peninsula by ship and would also stop briefly at Jeju Island to rest before heading to China.

The Punitive Forces captured so many Japanese officers, many of whom had been to Jeju Island, so the Punishment Forces were quite familiar with Jeju Island.

The big project that the Japanese are building on Jeju Island now is an airport. It is estimated that the Japanese will station more than 100 aircraft here. Li Qinwu has been keeping his eyes on this island and wants to give the Japanese a heavy blow!

In fact, before seizing the Nagato, Li Qinwu had thought about whether he should give the Japanese a severe blow after seizing the ship?

The idea at that time was to go straight to Tokyo, or drive to the nearby Hiroshima Industrial Zone. One was to bomb the Japanese political center and give them a little punitive military shock, which was very politically charged. The other was to bomb the industrial zone and destroy the Japanese production. (The group discussed the two locations to bomb at that time.)

But after Li Qinwu looked at the world map, he gave up these two tempting ideas and chose to attack Jeju Island instead.

There was no other way. Although bombing Tokyo and Hiroshima was tempting, it was simply impossible to do. It took them more than two hours to capture the entire battleship, and it took Li Jianfeng half an hour to capture Cambridge.

During this half hour, the Japanese had already spread the news of the capture of the battleship through the ship-borne radio. If they had driven more than 2000 kilometers to Tokyo and Hiroshima, they would have been greeted by one battleship after another and a sky full of bombers when they arrived.

In comparison, Jeju Island, which has weaker political and military significance, is more than 300 kilometers away from their current location. It is 5 o'clock in the morning now. If the Nagato moves at the full speed of 27 knots, it will arrive at Jeju Island around 12 o'clock in the morning six hours later. At that time, the Punishment Army can launch a surprise attack and give Jeju Island a hard time!

In Cambridge, Li Ruinian shouted, "Nagato, attack at full speed! Target Jeju Island!"

After he gave the order in a majestic manner, he whispered there. Li Qinwu was curious about what he was saying, so he leaned forward to listen.

"Hehehe, Nagato-chan, I'm the admiral, hehe, let's get married, hehe..." Li Qinwu felt a chill. Was he so disgusting when he played KanC in the past?

He quickly walked out of the bridge and came to the deck, wanting to take a look at the Nagato's twin 410mm main guns. This thing is one of the most advanced artillery in the world. Each shell weighs two tons, and one shot can flatten a small hill. It is a real super killer!

At this time, there were a bunch of people busy on the deck. Among them, Li Zhi and Li Hui, two intelligent clones, were holding measuring instruments and frantically measuring next to the artillery. These two intelligent clones, the first ones he created, showed an extraordinary obsession with the artillery.

Li Qinwu knew without going up to ask that these two people were trying to reverse map the data of the 410mm artillery and then try to imitate it themselves.

He was extremely excited when he thought that he would be equipped with a 410mm caliber super cannon in the near future.

With the incredible performance of materials like ceramic steel, it would be no problem to make a similar artillery piece as long as there is data, but the life of the artillery barrel would be greatly reduced.

Li Qinwu did not go forward to disturb the two intelligent clones, but continued to wander around the deck. He saw the big mecha tyrant leading the technicians to work.

The big machine boss installed a twin-mounted Type 85 anti-aircraft machine gun on the battleship. There were Japanese planes on Jeju Island, but the Nagato had not yet been modernized in 1932, and its anti-aircraft firepower was very weak, so it was necessary to temporarily strengthen the air defense.

During this period, Li Qinwu rushed to produce 60 Type 85 anti-aircraft machine guns, installed them on twin-mounted anti-aircraft gun mounts and took them all out. The big machine boss found a position that would not get in the way, and directly welded the anti-aircraft gun mounts to the deck, and also added bulletproof shields.

The Nagato was originally equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun, a French Hotchkiss anti-aircraft machine gun with a caliber of 13.2mm.

Remember the Punitive Forces' trip to Southeast Asia? They took out the rubber factory and seized a machine gun like this.

The Japanese bought a lot of large-caliber machine guns from abroad. Six of these things were removed from the battleship and replaced by Type 85 anti-aircraft machine guns. He didn't even want to look at the removed Hotchkiss machine guns.

Although this crappy anti-aircraft machine gun has a large caliber, a slightly higher range and destructive power, its rate of fire is incredibly slow and it still uses a magazine to feed ammunition!

Can you imagine? An anti-aircraft gun with a 20-round magazine, how hard it would be to shoot down an aircraft, fortunately, all of them have been replaced now.

The progress of the installation of anti-aircraft machine guns is very encouraging. It is expected that these machine guns will be installed in place before arriving at Jeju Island. At that time, the Nagato will no longer be afraid of attacks from the air.

Li Qinwu walked around the deck and suddenly found a strange clone. He was holding a geological hammer in his hand and knocking on the battleship's armor. He also put his ear to the armor plate to listen to the sound of knocking on the armor.

Li Qinwu recognized the other party. This was also an intelligent clone named Li Zhenghe. This was a name he gave himself. After Li Zhenghe was created, he was deeply involved in the reverse mapping work of the Kikuzuki destroyer and developed an interest in warships.

Li Zhenghe advocated a major overhaul of the Kikuzuki destroyer, replacing the traditional hull with a ceramic steel one.

He hoped that Li Qinwu could build a super-large oven in the island space, which could bake the destroyer's ceramic steel hull in one go. This one-piece baked hull would have absolutely amazing defense, and a lighter ceramic steel hull would also allow the warship to run faster.

But this decision was vetoed by both Li Qinwu and Li Ruinian.

Li Qinwu felt that building such a large oven would take too much effort. The Kikuzuki destroyer was more than 100 meters long. Wasn't it a bit too crazy to use such a large oven to bake the hull?

Li Ruinian was reluctant to part with his destroyer, the Kikuzuki. According to Li Zhenghe's idea, he would burn a new hull, then empty all the equipment in the destroyer and put it in the new hull. What's the difference between this and building a new battleship?
