Chapter 713 Fixed

Dalian, Imperial Navy Department.

In front of the door, the guards in white navy uniforms and holding steel guns made hundreds of students who had just arrived and were ready to go to the Naval Academy to sign up here with envy.

Military vehicles and naval generals that can only be seen in newspapers make them wish to be one of them. The golden red blood cloud dragon claw flag above their heads is the totem in everyone's hearts.

Not to mention students, this building has attracted the attention of the world since the beginning of the war. Since the world entered the marine era, the navy has become a symbol of national strength and a pioneer in the world.

Build an overseas army, stand on the shoulders of the United Kingdom, use the last tail of the free economy of the capital world to keep swallowing, the First Sino-Japanese naval battle, the naval battle of Tsushima, the naval battle of Micronesia, the naval battle of Balinton Strait, the naval battle of Sibilu Island, the imperial counterattack, the naval battle of Panama Bay, and so on.

More than 20 years of bloody road, the sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers, forged a strong navy, and finally made the idea of sea power deeply rooted in the mainland of China. More and more young people began to dream of going out of the loess and going to the sea to travel around the world.

From the famous Ma Han's "On the Power of the Sea", to His Majesty's handwriting "Towards the Deep Blue", to the memoir of the retired Imperial Navy General Tan Xiaozeng, who has just put on the bookshelf, etc., they have become the most popular books. Even in the books written by the most old scholars, there are few words "Rel go of your arms, move towards The heroic words of the world are embarrassed to be published.

And all these eyes finally gathered in this building.

But Tan Wang, the commander of naval logistics, did not feel any joy. For him, the good news was more trouble, more telegrams urging supplies and arranging more supply ships!

"General, Panama has an emergency."

"Bathe son of a bitch, will these guys die if they remove the word "urgent"? I really think I'm a fairy. I'm in a hurry for everything. I even need a few screws!" In the corridor, with the old man's memories of his autobiography, he was ready to go back to the office to find a conspicuous place to put it, which made his colleagues jealous. Unexpectedly, he heard the word "urgent electricity" again. Tan Wang suddenly jumped up like a rabbit trampled on its tail.

To be honest, in the past year since the war, he not only did not feel the joy of victory, but was tortured to death more than these two words. Except for the northwest, which did not care about his affairs, everything else was basically the navy, and even the air force squeezed in, although he mastered all the ocean-going cargo ships in the country, and even small ships. The dispatch only needs one sentence, but it can't stand so many long-distance fronts!

Finally, Australia ended, and the Persian Gulf was also opened up, but before I took a breath, the supply of supplies to Germany began again. In addition, Panama and the landing in the United States came to a critical time. In the end, it was not only not comfortable, but also became busier and busier. If the United States also started, I don't know how to to toss myself. !

"General, it was sent by the Chief of Staff." The staff officer, who didn't know the general's temper, held the corners of his mouth and spit out a few words.

"Oh, show me." Hearing that it was sent by the Chief of Staff, Tan Wang did not dare to neglect it, but after reading the telegram, he was in trouble, because the telegram said that the navy had begun to clear mines in the Gulf of Panama, and the route of Panama City was about to be opened, demanding that the materials for repair the canal should be transported as soon as possible.

Tan Wang sighed from the bottom of his heart and walked into his office. First, he put the book in a conspicuous position, and then walked to the blackboard. On the blackboard was a wide table. The dazzling numbers and symbols that others seemed to represent a fleet, destination and arrival time. And other information.

This blackboard is in charge of all the logistics and transportation forces of the navy. Although he can't arrange troops, when it comes to dispatching transportation and inserting needles at every seam, few people can match him.

There is no problem with the materials. It is enough to reserve in Dalian, but all the fleets on the blackboard have tasks. How about dismantling the door panel to fill the hole this time?

"General, we don't have any extra ships at present. The closest is the preset fleet, or let the South American No. 2 fleet be reed." The staff also pointed to the blackboard. Now the logistics department controls more than 1,000 ocean-going cargo ships, which are divided into 15 fleets. The number of each fleets ranges from 30 to 150. Six of them are mainly responsible for domestic ore materials and other work. These can't be pumped for the time being. Aircraft cannon bullets need ore materials. The troops can't fight for a day without these things.

Originally, the Australian fleet could be transferred, but due to the large migration work, it is difficult to be self-sufficient in the short term. If you want to be self-sufficient, you have to wait until the first half of next year. What's more, the fleet is currently shipping the seized weapons and ammunition to Mexico, so it can't be pumped.

The three Persian Gulf fleets are even worse. Germany is still in a difficult situation. It is all counting on the input of this lifeline. Even if there is no contradiction between the two countries, it is not the time to draw money.

As for the remaining fleet, they have all been put into the task of transporting supplies and personnel to Hawaii. If you don't land in the bridgehead before you start to land, I'm afraid there will be no place to cry.

"South Preset fleet!"

Tan Wang shook his head like a rattle. 200 preset ships were prepared for the landing battle, which were full of weapons, ammunition and necessary supplies. Although only one phone call could be dispatched, this was his last card, just in case!

"Let's change the road to Dalian on South America No. 2. They sent a message yesterday that they have arrived at the Ogasawara Islands, which is the closest distance."

"But." The staff frowned. The 33 cargo ships of the South American No. 2 fleet were originally docked at Lianyungang and Zhoushangang. The copper ingots, light wood and other things on them were in urgent need of supplies. After they came to Dalian, they had to delay the transshipment to various parts of the south.

" OK, you can contact the Ministry of Railways later and ask them to organize a train for transshipment and order the fleet to change the channel. In addition, don't forget about the escort. By the way, if the Ministry of Railways calls me, say that I'm not here!"

"Yes."

The staff officer nodded with a wry smile. The materials of 33 tons of tons of ships suddenly changed the way, which not only involved naval materials, but also involved hundreds of vehicles in the railway side. It's strange not to scold me!

After the staff officer left, Tan Wang continued to sigh. Although a wall was demolished to fill the loopholes, there was no way to go on like this. Especially the landing time has not been determined so far, so that these logistics people could not help but be tied up in the arrangement. Thinking of the previous calculation figures, he was a little full of meat. Tremping, because according to calculations, if you land in the United States and fight for a year, it will take at least 10,000 ships to be transported and resupmodate, isn't it deadly!

So after thinking about it, he immediately picked up the phone and was ready to ask Tang Xiao how many Xinhua wheels he could give him before the end of the year. Unexpectedly, the operator's voice came, and there was laughter outside the door.

"There's no need to call. I'll bring you directly. Ask yourself."

Tan Wang looked up and was a little surprised that Duan Qirui and Tang Xiao came together. He quickly got up and welcomed him, "Who am I? It turned out to be Lord Feng and Lord Tang. They are rare guests."

"Come on, don't be a guest." Before Tan Wang saw Duan Qirui, Tang Xiao immediately threw out a document. In the past few months, he was almost urged to death by the naval department. Especially after the Xinhua wheel project was launched, the navy made several phone calls a day to ask how much it was made. This is not a cabbage!

"Here, there are 11 ships this time. In addition, we have also registered and cleaned up the transport ships captured by Australia. All of them are 56, and they are all given to you!" Tang Xiao said with a face, "Don't bother me by calling me before the end of the year!"

"Ha ha, how can it be? Brother Tang is the food and clothing parents of our navy. It's too late for me to snab. How can I disturb him!" After getting 56 10,000 tons of ships all of a sudden, Tan Wang's face was almost gone, and he quickly took out the best Chinese cigarette and handed it over.

Tang Xiao didn't know his virtue. After grabbing the cigarette, he smiled and said, "Good smoke, just leave me here."

Tan Wang smoked from the corners of his eyes. That was a good cigarette that the old man embezzed from the emperor. He didn't smoke a few himself. If it hadn't been for Duan Qirui's presence, he would have had a fight with Tang Fatty.

"Ha ha, I've been under a lot of pressure recently."

Duan Qirui didn't care about the jokes of the two and nodded secretly in front of the blackboard. Although Major General Tan Wang was more or less exposed to his grandfather, the work was done conscientiously. If he hadn't dispatched it, I'm afraid that the transfer of naval supplies would not have been so smooth.

"Ha ha, it's okay, it's okay." Tan Wang smiled twice and suddenly asked, "Lord Duan, didn't you go to the northwest? How's it going there?"

"The rest of the Northwest Army will not be withdrawn. Don't worry." Duan Qirui didn't know his worries. After the Northwest Army retreated by one million yuan, almost all of them would be shipped to the United States through him in the future, so it is extremely important to accurately estimate the total number of people, otherwise there would be more people and fewer ships.

As soon as he heard that the remaining troops in the northwest would not be withdrawn for the time being, Tan Wang was finally relieved. After the orderly brought tea, he casually asked, "Lord Duan, there are still so many troops left in the northwest. Isn't it peaceful?"

"There is no big trouble in our country, but Russia." Thinking of the situation in Western Siberia, Duan Qirui also shook his head: "Russia has been fighting. There is an influx of refugees into our country every day, and there are incidents of soldiers entering from time to time, so the Northwest Army and the National Guard have been very busy during this period, and it is impossible to be transferred back in the short term."

"No wonder, I heard that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued work visas to many Russians. I'm afraid they are all from the northwest. Among them, there is also an aircraft designer named Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky, who even met the emperor in person. What ability does he have? I heard that for him, the emperor also asked Chang Lin to personally allocate funds to build an aircraft research institute for him. Tang Xiao asked next to him.

"Hehe, I don't know what he has, but he must be a very important expert who can get the attention of the emperor." Speaking of this, Duan Qirui's eyes are about to narrow. It's not just Sikorsky, who has fled from Russia to Western Siberia one after another. There are already hundreds of senior experts favored by the Ministry of Science and Technology, so in the past three months alone, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued as many as 2,000 work visas.

"What the matter, it's better if Russia is broken. It's better for all scientists to come to us." After Tan Wang finished speaking, he suddenly went to the door and closed the door.

Tang Xiao couldn't help but be surprised by his behavior. Duan Qirui guessed that he was inseparable. When he came back and sat down again, he smiled and said, "There is no need to be so mysterious. Do you want to know the specific date?"

"Ah? Could it be that it's settled!" This time, even Tang Xiao's eyes widened, looked at Tan Wang, and saw the joy in the other party's heart. One of them was in charge of the equipment department, and the other was only the naval transportation department, but he almost arranged all the material transportation tasks of the naval, land and air forces. They were qualified to know about this matter.

Seeing the eyes of the two people seeking knowledge, Duan Qirui nodded with a smile: "It's settled!"

"Great, it's settled. If it goes on like this, I guess Brother Tang and I will be exhausted first." Tan Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and even Tang Xiao took a cigarette fiercely. Recently, there was too much speculation about the landing time. Everyone was talking about this topic, but no one had an accurate answer.

It's okay if it's other departments, but it's really too difficult for their two logistics leaders, so that they have to leave a hand when arranging work. For example, Tan Wang has always kept a preset fleet in his hand and dares not to move, in order to prevent problems once landing begins. Now Duan Qirui has agreed If you download it, it is equivalent to saying that there is no need to guess. All work can be arranged with the day of landing as the center.

"Commander Long was supposed to tell you, but yesterday he and the emperor went to Hawaii, so he had to pull me here to count." Duan Qirui smiled first and soon became serious: "Today, I brought Tang Xiao for this matter. I might as well give you a clear answer. Now there is only the Prime Minister's side left. As long as the East Tampa meeting reaches an agreement, we will do our best!"

The two nodded. Both of them knew about Tang Shaoyi's attendance at the East Tampabur meeting. This meeting seemed to be just to maintain and stabilize the military spirit and coordinate the internal problems of the Allies, but in fact, it was a conference on the distribution of post-war interests, involving the ultimate interests of the allies, so it is still entangled and discussing. The price is on a bargain.

If the internal problems of the Allies can no longer be solved before landing, Xinhua will not be able to deal with the United States wholeheartedly, so Duan Qirui said so.

"According to the Prime Minister's telegram yesterday, the negotiations are coming to an end, so you must be fully prepared by December 20." After Duan Qirui finished speaking, he got up and pointed to the blackboard.

"The first wave, at least 1,000 ships must be prepared."
