Looking at the foreman's stunned and confused look, Luo Yangyi felt that he couldn't hold on his face and waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, go and do it. You still have to catch the job technical training. The hard truth is to strive for excellence."

"I understand, sir."

Luo Yangyi watched the foreman leave, took out his gold pocket watch and looked at the time. It was already 11:49 now, and the dock would be off work in more than 10 minutes, and it was lunch break.

He walked towards the platform where the No. 9 ship was built. There were many long snake-like high-pressure air pipes on the concrete ground. He stepped over carefully to prevent the step on it and slipped.

Walking down the boat platform and looking up, there were already many workers packing their tools and falling down from the iron ladder. Luo Yangyi did not rush to climb up, but stood in the shadow of the boat platform and waited patiently.

Not long after

Seeing the officer of the Navy Representative Office, Luo Yangyi took a deep breath and hurriedly went forward and said enthusiastically, "Oh... Thank you, Chief Li, you have worked hard, you are so loyal to your duties. The shipyard guesthouse has prepared lunch. Let's go and have a little bit of it?"

"There is no need to worry. We can just eat a little here and we will continue to check in the afternoon." Lieutenant Colonel Li Sixian got off the iron ladder and patted the dust on his hand.

"You have to have time to eat. You have an hour and a half off lunch. After having lunch in the factory here, you have no place to sit or stand. You should go to the guesthouse to rest. You will definitely not delay your afternoon work."

"Uh... that's OK, it's hard to refuse Luo Xieli's kindness, so we should be respectful and obedient." Lieutenant Colonel Li Sixian felt that it made sense, so he let go. Eating a meal was not a big deal.

Luo Yangyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a warm smile on his face; "Sir Li is so polite. It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Please..."

After saying that, he accompanied several officers to the distance. The boat platform was in the production area and the shipyard guesthouse was in the living area. The middle section was not close. It took more than ten minutes to walk there.

Lieutenant Chen Mantun and Lieutenant Tiexiong followed from a distance, sweat stains appeared on their white military uniforms, and it was not easy to feel in the stuffy and narrow cabin. Both of them sweated a lot that morning.

Second Lieutenant Tiexiong asked in confusion, "Hey, Brother Mantun, what's wrong with our deputy director today? It's like taking a big tonic?"

"Who knows, follow the orders of the superiors. Anyway, let's do whatever the superiors arrange." Lieutenant Chen Mantun shook his head as he looked at the superiors in front of him.

"We have nothing to do, but these guys from the shipyard are going to suffer. I have recorded more than 20 pages of the rectification measures this morning. After two days of lifting ammunition storage equipment, I guess the shipyard will be even more difficult. If this continues, it will probably delay the construction period!"

According to the rigorous military ship construction regulations, the construction of the next step cannot be carried out without the review and approval of the Navy Representative Office.

For example, if the installation review of ammunition storage equipment fails to pass, the upper steel plate cannot be covered and installed, the upper layer of bulletproof armor steel plate cannot be covered and installed, and the subsequent main gun seat cannot be covered and installed.

"Hey... I have this worry too." Lieutenant Chen Mantun sighed lightly, shook his head and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and suddenly asked, "By the way, what did that guy Li Zhong ask you for yesterday?"

"What else can I do? I'll talk to us and talk about it, saying that I'm asking us to have a drink. I'll tell him if I have time, when will this stingy guy become generous?"

"I guess it's not his treat, but someone else pays for it."

"Absolutely, when I was in school, this guy loved to brag and show off. When he followed us and played, he always showed off his head as a big shot. I wonder if this problem has been changed?"

"Haha...I guess it's difficult."

"Brother Mantun, I think so too, hahaha...will you agree to him?"

"Why don't you go if you have wine? Go... It's just a matter of relaxing."

"Okay, then I'll make an appointment."

When talking about Li Zhong’s faces, there were so many people who graduated from the Eagle School, and it was impossible for them to know each other even in the same class. Only in the small circle where you play well can you know the basics. When you were young, you had such a large range of communication, and you were basically unfamiliar with your students’ squadron.

Of course, the squadron leader is the one who is the best and has high prestige to serve as the squadron leader of the student. Chen Mandun is the squadron leader of the student days. He was very outstanding in his student days. Tiexin was the squadron leader, and Li Zhong was one of the students of Tiexin's squadron, and he had no position.

In the evening, the sunset is full of sunset.

The shipyard workers who get off work gathered and rushed onto the main road where they left the factory. The pleasant bicycle ringtones rang in a circle, and the chirping and laughter flew into the sky, which was really lively.

The workers were wearing work clothes with the word "Hongshan" printed on them, which was their pride. They were on their faces with the joy of going home from get off work. Some were riding bicycles, and some walked towards the factory gate.

According to factory regulations;

Horses are not allowed to enter the factory and can only be kept in nearby livestock sheds to prevent these livestock from drowning everywhere and affecting the internal environment of the factory.

Bicycles are widely favored by workers because of their convenience and price advantages. Among the people who get off work, more than half of the workers ride various bicycles, gathering into a forward-looking bicycle wave.

Among these bicycles, most of them are beautiful and sunny "Phoenix" bicycles and heavyweight "Labor" bicycles. Female and young male workers especially like "Phoenix" bicycles, while some men who have started family prefer solid heavyweight "Labor" bicycles.

The beam and back seat of this bicycle are made of thick steel pipes. You can usually carry a grain bag or buy a sheep, carry a bag or a firewood bundle. You can also take care of adults on the back seat. You can also take care of two children on the beam of the bicycle. It is really versatile and practical.

Facing the cool breeze by the river in the evening

Lieutenant Chen Mantun and Lieutenant Tiexiong walked forward shoulder to shoulder, swinging their arms rhythmically back and forth, with the same pace. The two of them actually walked out of the powerful queue rhythm.

They started to enter the Eagle School in their 10s to receive militarized management. To this day, their good military qualities have penetrated into the bones for more than ten years. They walk upright when walking, their arms are swinged vigorously, and their shiny leather shoes are stomping with rhythmic steps.

They came out a little late. Most of the shipyard workers who had gotten off work had left, and there were still pedestrians in groups of three or three on the road. They watched the two officers come over with powerful steps, showing a hint of envy.

The Hongshan Shipyard is extremely large in scale. The ship platform lined up along the north bank of the Brisbane River. The tall tracks stood tall under the sunset. The steel ships under construction showed the beauty of industry, which is a harmonious picture of iron and fire.

The two officers walked forward and stopped near a dock not far from the factory gate. What attracted their attention was the loading of the "mosquito" patrol boats, which were being hoisted onto a 10,000-ton ocean-class bulk cargo ship after ship.

The "Mosquito" patrol boat has been widely loved by territories at home and abroad because of its wide applicability. It has developed 7 types of A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji and Xin. It has a displacement of more than 240 ships, ranging from the largest "Mosquito" A boat with a displacement of only 80 tons, to the "Mosquito" Xin boat with a displacement of only 80 tons. It has been widely distributed in various overseas territories and local Australians. It is used to perform daily patrols, fishing protection, anti-smuggling services, and can transport personnel, equipment, logistics supplies, and transport combat team members. It is simply omnipotent.

The displacement is divided into two types from the largest 380-ton "Mosquito" A boat: enhanced firepower and ordinary. The enhanced firepower equipment is equipped with two 95mm "Miss Australia" guns and two new Maxim heavy machine guns, mainly used in the relatively complex Borneo and Okinawa water police areas. It is a cheap and easy-to-use naval equipment.

The ordinary type has a firepower reduction of half and is used in Shangri-La Island and local Australian waters. The focus is on strengthening trial sailing and cruising range, and being able to perform 7-9 days patrol missions on the sea surface.

The "mosquito" type guard boat with small displacement, the Xin type boat is mainly used in Mozambique, an African colony. Relying on the Zambezi River Basin, which is densely covered with water networks, small patrol boats with extremely shallow drafts can be directly interspersed from the beach to the shore, and are very flexible to use.

Taking the "Mosquito" type Xinboat with a displacement of only 80 tons as an example, the construction cost is only 1,360 pounds, and the price is equivalent to a "Iron Niu" brand heavy 4-wheel tractor. The draft of this type is only 0.8 meters, with a straight head. The head is equipped with a 37mm legal Haqiashi fast gun. The simple steel cockpit is equipped with a Maxine heavy machine gun. This is all the firepower configuration.

There is an empty cabin of 2.4 meters x 3.75 meters behind the patrol boat. A circle of wooden seats can be arranged along the way, which can carry 24 fully armed soldiers and necessary supplies and equipment.

If you squeeze in, it's okay for 30 people.

Equipped with 60 cm high thin steel plates on both sides of the empty cabin, the African Expeditionary Force soldiers can rely on the thin steel plates to protect and shoot, providing the most basic protection capabilities.

This is just ordinary steel plate, which can withstand the bows and spears of indigenous Africans, but cannot withstand the shooting of guns and bullets. One shot is a hole.

This is not a problem. After the patrol boat arrives in Mozambique, Africa, the African Expeditionary Force will install 20 cm thick wooden boards on the outside of the thin steel plate, which is enough to withstand the shooting of rifle bullets. It will also considerately install a pergola and an iron bucket for storing clean drinking water. So a perfect inland armed patrol and transportation is completed.

This is the favorite patrol boat of the African Expeditionary Force. It is like a fish in the Zambezi River basin, which is crisscrossing the streams. It can be transported to the Malawi Lake District by railway, transporting passengers, cargo, or guest-starring fishing boats to patrol and fight, almost everything is happening.

Have a little inquiry

Lieutenant Chen Mantun guessed correctly. This was indeed a military equipment transported to the Mozambique colony in Africa. There were 42 "mosquito" patrol boats of various types, which were lifted onto a 10,000-ton cargo ship through rail carriages and transported there in one go.

The longest mosquito patrol boat is only more than 30 meters, more than 5 meters wide, and the smallest is only 12 meters long and 2.8 meters wide. This size is drizzling in the cabin of a 10,000-ton ship. This boat not only carries 42 patrol boats, but also carries a large number of steel structures, mainly used to build bridges and docks.

These mosquito patrol boats were built by the surrounding shipyards. In fact, the technical content is very low, just an iron shell plus an engine, and then equipped with ready-made weapons.

Although this type of equipment is simple, it is very practical. It is widely popular in Shangri-La, Borneo and Mozambique, and most of them are assigned to the water police district under the army to perform daily duties.

Standing by the dock for a while

Second Lieutenant Tiexiong poked Lieutenant Chen Mantun with his hand and said, "Don't look at Brother Mantun. Let's play with these little ships for the guys in the army. We are still excited to get on the big guys behind. It's getting late now, and I'm afraid that Li Zhong will give up the challenge if he is anxious. He will definitely do this."

"Haha... It's okay, he won't invite me."

"So why bother?"

"Okay, let's go."
Chapter completed!
