Chapter 119 Shipbuilding, Land-based Artillery on Ships! (Seeking monthly votes)

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the Time-Space Treasure Chest was upgraded twice more.

From 20 meters, it was upgraded to 40 meters, and then to 80 meters.

With its current size, it can already transport a considerable amount of supplies.

During this month, a lot of penicillin, gauze, iodine, and various medications for treating acute illnesses were sent over.

Chen Huai'an can proudly say that PLA soldiers will no longer die or have limbs amputated due to lack of medicine or medical treatment.

However, as the treasure chest's space increases, so does the amount of medicine that can be transported.

In addition to dealing with the current war situation, preparations must also be made for the subsequent nationwide liberation.

Further back, preparations were already underway for the Korean War.

With his assistance, no soldier will ever again die from wound infection caused by bacteria-laden gauze bandages provided by unscrupulous capitalists.

Chen Huai'an drove his car at high speed on the wide road.

Lin Wan sat in the passenger seat, holding an account book in her hands.

"All three thousand assault boats have been delivered to the river-crossing troops."

As per orders from higher command, the battle was still scheduled to begin on April 20th, one day later.

The soldiers will not lack boats, and the villagers will no longer need to donate wooden buckets and door panels.

With the speed of the assault boats, three divisions could be transported there in the shortest possible time.

The liberation of Nanjing this time will definitely be much easier than in the past.

This will also reduce casualties among soldiers!

Lin Wan's big eyes curved into crescents, and she couldn't stop smiling on her pretty face.

He thought that through his own efforts, he could provide the soldiers with enough boats to cross the river.

Moreover, the speed of the assault boats is extremely fast, reducing the time spent on the river and preventing them from becoming easy targets for the enemy.

The wounded soldiers also have enough medicine to receive good treatment.

It gave soldiers who would otherwise have sacrificed their lives the chance to see victory.

Thinking about all this fills me with a deep sense of pride.

Although he didn't personally participate in the battle, the role he played was greater than that of ten divisions!

Lin Wan turned to the next page and asked, "At the shipyard, Wang Defa has received our order, and the business has come back to life."

With money in hand, they are actively upgrading their factory and machinery.

Then, according to your requirements, produce even larger ships.

In addition to being used for crossing the sea, it can also be used by fishermen.

However, he called today saying he's short on funds and hopes we can pay a partial deposit.

Lin Wan gave a serious report, playing the role of a secretary.

Chen Huai'an stared at the road ahead, a playful smile on his face.

"His factory was mortgaged to the bank, which was enough to buy machines for upgrades."

The so-called financial difficulties are just a fear that we will default on the contract.

Once the ship is built, we'll break the contract and not want it anymore.

They wanted to pay a deposit to trap us.

Even if he decides not to take it back later, he won't lose money since he's already received the deposit.

Lin Wan nodded slightly: "So you mean—you won't be fooled?"

Chen Huai'an turned to look at the pretty face and smiled, "Yes, I must!"

After a month of cashing out antiques, medicinal herbs, and other items, the company's accounts now hold hundreds of millions of yuan.

They were incredibly wealthy and powerful; they even spoke loudly.

However, Chen Huai'an would not waste the organization's funds recklessly.

They already have plans for the future.

He proactively explained: "The future new China needs many things to develop."

However, it is limited by productivity, especially by issues such as electricity.

Therefore, for a long time to come, we will still need to purchase materials from modern sources.

The ship we ordered now is just a small boat of a few hundred tons.

Even if a thousand ships were transported, it would still be far from enough for a large country.

The new China must have its own shipyards, and in the future, it will also need to build warships!

Wang Defa's small factory now depends on us for its survival.

However, the navy is a money-guzzling beast, and the current state of the new China is still struggling to maintain it.

Therefore, I want to proceed in two steps.

Upgrade Wang Defa's shipyard to build large cargo ships.

By sending the finished products over, we not only solved the shipping problem.

When needed, it can instantly transform into a warship!

While waiting at a red light, Chen Huai'an took out his phone and searched for a picture of land-based artillery mounted on a ship.

"This was the most tragic scene thirty years ago, when our navy was still weak."

There weren't enough warships, so they had to load land artillery onto cargo ships.

At that time, all Chinese people were determined to develop the navy and prevent this from happening again.

After thirty years of development, we now have three aircraft carriers.

The Type 055 destroyer is being produced at a rapid pace, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

No more need to load land-based artillery onto ships because there aren't enough warships!

His voice was deep, yet it conveyed a strong sense of pride and satisfaction.

Lin Wan looked at the turret on the cargo ship, feeling a mix of emotions.

Because in her time, the country was much weaker, and even large cargo ships like these were rare.

This is why foreign warships still dare to recklessly intrude into our territorial waters.

If we had the Type 055 destroyer, would imperialists still dare to act so recklessly?

Chen Huai'an noticed her emotions and immediately comforted her with a smile.

"But you don't need to rush. The Great Wall wasn't built in a day."

It is through thirty years of hard work that we have achieved our current national strength.

As long as we can send the 3,000-ton ship over in six months.

The same method could be used to mount land-based artillery on ships, thereby increasing naval power.

Don't underestimate this trick; it will still be useful even after thirty years.

The US has so many carrier strike groups, isn't that powerful enough?

This tactic was also used recently, with land artillery mounted on cargo ships.

This tactic is still useful today, but wouldn't it have been even more effective 76 years ago?

After hearing the explanation, a glimmer of light flashed in Lin Wan's disappointed eyes.

I picked up my phone and quickly browsed the relevant information.

The more I learned, the more feasible it seemed.

Chen Huai'an also searched for a movie clip for her, which was a naval battle between North and South Korea a few years ago.

The northern side was poorly equipped, so they simply moved a tank turret onto a ship and destroyed the southern patrol boat.

The naval battles of 76 years ago did not require much technology, let alone long-range missile strikes.

As long as the gun emplacements can be transported to the sea, they can effectively strike the enemy!

Chen Huai'an wore a faint smile, but he had already made plans in his mind.

The navy is an absolute money-devouring beast.

Even today, the powerful People's Navy was only built up in the last few decades.

Building a navy would require far too much money.

Given the circumstances of the new China, it was simply impossible to do so.

Even if the plan is followed, using Wang Defa's shipyard name to acquire some obsolete equipment from decades ago.

Even with the steel production capacity of the newly established People's Republic of China, it would be difficult to meet the demand.

Therefore, using cargo ships for transit is the best solution at present.

It is also the most economical and practical method.

It can be used for transportation in peacetime and can be immediately converted into a warship in wartime.

Although it cannot compare to real foreign warships, it will no longer be in a situation where it can only be attacked without being able to fight back.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.

What he needs to do is help that new world transition.

Future development and construction will still depend on ourselves.

Squeak~.

The SUV came to a smooth stop in front of the shop.
