Defense is one aspect, offense is another aspect.

By 1953, the three major fleets of the Navy were roughly formed.

The North Sea Fleet, the main base is Qingdao, and other bases are Dalian and Weihai. The task is to intercept the incoming fleet from the Yellow Sea layer by layer to protect the safety of Dalian and the Bohai Sea;

The East China Sea Fleet, the main base is Zhoushan, and other bases are Shanghai, Xiamen, and Fuzhou. The mission used to be to defend the Yangtze River Estuary and Qiantang River Estuary, and liberate Taiwan. Now it is to be determined;

The South China Sea Fleet, with its main base in Guangzhou and other bases in Zhanjiang and Yulin, is tasked with defending the fishing grounds in Guangzhou Bay and Beibu Gulf.

"How does the navy consider the Keelung and Kaohsiung military ports?" Tang Hua asked.

"Both Kaohsiung and Keelung should be able to station ships. As for which one is the main one, I am currently considering Kaohsiung." Xiao Jinguang wrote back, "It belongs to the category of the East China Sea Fleet. In recent days, I have thought more about the South China Sea issue. Taiping Island The Nansha Islands Management Office of the Republic of China was electrified and revolted, but it was only a management office without a garrison. After Taiwan is settled, I plan to send a landing ship to transport a small force there as soon as possible.”

Taiping Island... um...

It's so easy to come by.

Tang Hua can't guarantee that the 20-ton dredger will be built in another ten to twenty years. It is very useful to hold an island like Taiping Island with an area of ​​tens of hectares and natural fresh water in his hands.

Speaking of the South China Sea, Tang Hua quickly glanced at the map of the Philippines, especially the small bay a little north of Manila Bay - Subic Bay.

The Nansha Islands are very far south, and the Paracel Islands and Zhongsha Islands are at the same latitude as Subic Bay.

The best place to insert an eye into Subic Bay is Scarborough Rock Island, the most prominent atoll in the east of Zhongsha Islands.

"Taiping Island is the largest natural island in the Nansha Islands, and it's great to control it." Tang Hua replied, "But you must pay attention to Huangyan Island (Democracy Reef) in the Zhongsha Islands. It is the closest to Subic Bay."

"Subic Bay! You need to pay attention. The navy will organize staff members to conduct research as soon as possible, and a plan must be drawn up before the summer meeting."

Taiwan, Keelung Port.

Keelung is a big port.It took several days for the investigation team sent by our army to find out the status of the entire port and ships.

"This dock is really big. I feel like I'm in a valley."

"It seems that such a large warship only takes up less than half of the length of the dock."

The investigation team is now at the Keelung Shipyard.During the Japanese occupation period, Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. acquired the original Keelung Ship Canal and established "Taiwan Ship Canal Co., Ltd".Taiwan Chuanqu Co., Ltd. built small steel-hulled fishing boats in the early days, but after the 30s, Japan developed it in the direction of ship repair.

The Japanese navy considers this way: Nine-stage volley, a hard fight to destroy the US Pacific Fleet, of course, a large number of Japanese ships will be injured, which may break through the dock repair capabilities of the Japanese mainland. At this time, some damaged warships should be towed to Keelung and Japan. Kaohsiung carried out repairs, so that Japan could repair all ships in the shortest possible time and attack again, annihilating the Atlantic Fleet that the US Navy came to reinforce through Panama in the Northern Mariana Islands.What a seamless plan.

In short, at the Keelung Shipyard on Sheliao Island, Keelung, the largest ship that can be newly built is a 200-ton steel-hulled fishing boat, but the ship repair dock is more than [-] meters long and can repair heavy cruisers of the Japanese Navy.

Lying in the dock is the Fletcher-class destroyer of the Republic of China Navy that ran aground last year.

A [-]-ton destroyer is a bit small in a dock that can repair [-]-ton heavy cruisers.

In Kaohsiung Port, when the investigation team entered Taiwan Machinery Co., Ltd., they were shocked by the heavy machine tools in the workshop.

The predecessor of Taiji Machinery Co., Ltd. can be traced back to the Taiwan Iron Works during the Japanese colonial period. It was established on November 1919, 11. Its business at the beginning was sugar industry machinery - repairing and manufacturing sugarcane squeezers, sugar mills, etc. In the 22s, Japan wanted to move southward, and Taiwan Machinery Company also increased various products related to the military heavy industry. In its heyday, it had more than 30 employees and was the first heavy factory in Kaohsiung City.

At the end of World War II, the background machine company was taken over by the Republic of China and reorganized. In addition, many Japanese engineers returned to China. Now the technical level of the machine is not as good as before. It mainly produces galvanized tinplate, Fulu bicycles, and builds the Xiluo Bridge. , small fishing boats, cement machinery, etc.

……

In Shanghai, Cheng Wang, director of the Shipbuilding Industry Bureau, received a telegram from Tang Hua.

"This summer, the Navy and the Bureau of Shipbuilding Industry of the Ministry of Heavy Industry will jointly hold a working meeting to discuss the adjustment of ship development and repair enterprises, including the integration of Taiwan's ship repair industry into the shipbuilding industry. Taiwan inspects related industries in Kaohsiung and Keelung, and forms an inspection report and integration plan as soon as possible for use in work meetings."

"Due to the gains from the Taiwan campaign, Shanghai Jiangnan Plant and Hudong Zhonghua Plant need to add a task: to conduct a thorough modernization of the US-made Fletcher-class and Keeling-class destroyers. The Bureau of Shipbuilding Industry needs to organize a second expedition team to Keelung immediately , study the Fletcher-class and Keeling-class destroyers in Hong Kong, and conduct on-site surveys within our capabilities if necessary."

"The Fletcher class and the Keeling class are both large fleet destroyers, and their transformation goals will be different from the Type 01 frigate and the old frigate. It is planned to install anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles on this type [-] ship at the same time, so the main ship may need to be dismantled." The ship’s superstructure still needs to be modified. The design office of the Shipbuilding Industry Bureau will draw up a transformation plan as soon as possible, and determine the steel usage of the new superstructure, so as to coordinate domestic solutions or import materials.”

Japan.

In Tokyo, the United Nations Command is not the only one concerned about the Korean and Taiwan battlefields.

In a log cabin in Chiba, a middle-aged man of about 50 years old chatted with another officer of the Japanese Coast Guard who looked ten years younger than himself while making several wooden models the size of fists.

"Makino-kun, are you really determined to go to China?" Shizuo Fukui, who works as a clerk in the Coast Guard, asked.

"I've made up my mind," Makino Shigeru replied.

Fukui Shizuo: "It is inconvenient to travel from Japan to China now, and your identity is a little sensitive."

"As far as I know, the embassy of the Republic of China in Japan has collectively declared surrender to Beijing, and it is working normally, and it is quite convenient to go through the formalities. I think of some ways to get a visa. "

"When Makino-kun comes to China, will you still be in your old business?"

"Heh, heh," Makino Shigeru replied, "I studied hard at the Department of Naval Engineering, Department of Engineering, Imperial University, and then studied at the French National School of Naval Architecture...Since then, my career has been locked. What I am good at in my life Work is a ship, not a gardener and a carpenter."

"In fact, the International Ship Design Association is inviting you to be an executive director. Isn't this also a matter in the shipbuilding industry? And as far as I know, China has not yet been able to build large warships. To be precise, they have not even been able to build modern ships. The shipbuilding industry, you may not be able to use it if you go to China. Of course, maybe in the future China can establish a shipbuilding industry and learn how to design and build modern warships, but it will take many years. And for war, once is enough It has taught us a painful lesson."

"Japan can no longer be a normal country, but China can do it," said Shigeru Makino. "China is now in a period of rising sun, and its ambition must be to lead the entire East Asia and even the world. When I seek a job in such a country, There must be a lot of exciting history. And, China may have found the right path to revival.”

Makino Shigeru picked up a small box from the table, which was a broken DJ50 walkie-talkie.In fact, this walkie-talkie has only an empty shell, and it was restored by straightening the iron sheet of the shell with pliers.Probably because the walkie-talkie was blown to pieces by shells, and the U.S. military was not interested in collecting it and taking it back for research, Shigeru Makino found it on the black market.

"In just a few years, the Chinese have reached or even surpassed the United States in terms of precision small instruments, as well as missiles, which are sophisticated and intelligent technical equipment. And China is now allied with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union provides giant machines and equipment, and China Arming these giants with intelligent weapons, the two countries working together in this way will sweep the battlefield."

Shizuo Fukui shook his head, it seems that Makino's chuunibone disease is getting worse. "It's better to put it this way, if you go to China and are reused, then China itself will have huge weapons, and there is no need to go to the Soviet Union to cooperate."

Makino Shigeru laughed.

Shigeru Fukui was sent away, and Shigeru Makino continued to make his small wooden models.It took more than an hour to complete the work.

This is a rotary launcher for 4 HQ-2 air defense missiles.In fact, the shape is not completely restored, some are based on the description of the reporter's interview, and some are made up by Makino Shigeru himself.

Shigeru Makino picked up 4 Red Flag-2s and went to another workshop in his house.There are 2 models of warships here, the size is not small, and the length of each wooden model is more than 2 meters.

Armed with a screwdriver and a small hammer, Shigeru Makino started tinkering on the bridge of one of the warships.Prying with a screwdriver and tapping with a small hammer, the 6 auxiliary turrets were removed on both sides of the superstructure in a short while.

Shigeru Makino put the twin 127mm turrets aside: "Useless old fellows, you shouldn't have existed on this ship 15 years ago."

Compared with the wooden Hongqi-2 model in the hand, I think the size is appropriate.Just install the Hongqi-2 model in the empty space after removing the turret.

Four Hongqi-2 models, two on the port side and two on the starboard side.But in doing so, he found that the missile's rotating field of fire was greatly affected.

Makino Shigeru reached out to the two triple-mounted 155mm secondary guns on the front and rear of the warship.After a little hesitation, he finally pried off the secondary gun with a screwdriver.Then Shigeru Makino adjusted the positions of the secondary guns and anti-aircraft missiles on the side, so that the four anti-aircraft missile launchers became a diamond-shaped arrangement of front, rear, left, and right. In addition, two double-mounted 2mm secondary guns can be retained on the left and right sides. .

Re-gluing these gun and missile models with resin, Makino Shigeru straightened up contentedly, knocked on the front and rear main gun turrets, and then knocked on other parts of the warship model.After thinking for a while, he pried off the chrysanthemum emblem on the bow of the warship and threw it aside.

"It should be impossible for such a 'Yamato' to be sunk."

Shigeru Makino, former senior engineer of the Shipbuilding Department of the Kure Naval Factory and the chief builder of the Yamato and Musashi, looked at the model of the "Yamato" with anti-aircraft missiles in front of him and said.
