After a lot of time, Lin Mo and his party arrived in Zhenjiang, but did not go to find someone to meet up. Instead, they went to the opposite bank of the Yangtze River in Zhenjiang City, near Guanyin Island, Guazhou Ancient Canal.

The small steamer was berthed on a river and was berthed by a large iron ship. The small steamer was to act as a ferry for this large iron ship. Near the two ships, there was a motor boat that was more than twice the size of the Li family's small steamer.

The motor ship was the one that escorted the prisoner before, but it had a new modification, from the porthole, deck, guardrail, to the distribution of the internal cabin, interior decoration, etc., Lin Mo could not recognize it either.

After the three ships met on the large iron ship, Lin Mo gave the captain of the motor ship an address and asked him to cross the river to pick up people on the other side. He said hello to the iron ship and became familiar with him.

This large iron ship was also seized before. It was originally a larger shipping company in Hankou. The company mainly operates routes in Huguang area and operates passenger and cargo. This ship is the company's signature passenger ship.

This shipping company operates a shipping business openly, secretly gets into trouble with the Japanese, buys grain, minerals, etc. locally, and conspires with the Japanese to engage in smuggling, tobacco trafficking and other activities. In the deeper, it also collects local hydrology, routes and other information for Japanese intelligence organizations, transports arms, and covers Japanese spies.

It is quite powerful in the local area, and it is actually difficult to obtain it by relying solely on the Intelligence Department. However, the light and dark business it operates in the local area has affected the interests of interest groups engaged in import and export and smuggling these business interests. After receiving the relevant information, he directly instructed the Intelligence Department to obtain it.

Of course, all the family members and shipping companies involved in secret business and colluded with Japanese intelligence agencies. Moreover, the shipping company's only passenger ships were investigated by the intelligence department. There is no need to say much about their business channels, relationships and where the freight ships went.

This ship was purchased from Guangdong and manufactured by Hong Kong Foreign Company. Its construction time has not been short. It was first operated by a shipping company in Guangdong. Later, due to local turmoil, it seriously affected the shipping. After several changes, it was purchased by the shipping company in Hankou. After a lot of effort, it drove back and became its passenger transport sign.

The ship is wide in shape, with a total length of about 42.67 meters, that is, 140 feet, a width of about 9.75 meters, that is, 32 feet, a displacement of about 600 tonnes, and a total of four cabins.

The ship was left behind by Lin Mo's suggestion, and some corresponding transformation plans were proposed. It is envisioned that when the headquarters operation department performs large and long-term operation tasks in other places in the future, it will mainly target the special operations team and the second group of operations. The ship can be driven to the surrounding area as a transferable command and logistics, communications, site points, and repair points.

This is very practical. After all, the boat can wander around and move its location. In local towns, the only places you can choose are hotels or safe houses. If the enemy pays attention, it is easy to leak the whereabouts. Although a boat that is not omnipotent, it at least provides one more choice.

The ship was not renovated in Nanjing. One was the construction factory there, and the technology was limited. The Intelligence Department's ships were built there. Although they were not in the same house, they were still worried that they would be noticed and spy on the Japanese and pay attention to the relevant situation.

The renovation was Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang has a high level in shipbuilding since ancient times, and it has been established as a trade deal since the 11th year of Xianfeng. Some industrial enterprises have developed. In the 13th year of the Republic of China, it was built into the first iron-shell steam passenger ship in Zhenjiang's history, which was ten years ago.

The level of construction of Zhenjiang ships is definitely not as strong as possible, and it can even be built. However, it is still no problem to renovate and renovate their ships. The main thing is to repair the internal cabins, repair machinery and equipment, and re-arrange lines.

The power system is basically still in use, and the power is not too strong. The previous shipping company mainly runs into areas covered with the two lakes and water networks, and running on the river is not very good.

But this is not because of the power system. The ship uses steam engines as power. However, a ship built in a British colony actually uses German power equipment, and it is also suspected to be a military steam-powered equipment produced by Germany during the European War.

It is very likely that the British dismantled the German warship after the war, sent the power system to the other side of the earth thousands of miles away, and loaded it onto an unreleased civilian ship. This is definitely something that the British can do.

The reason why it is suspected is that the nameplate is suspected to have been replaced and the inscribed has been ground. This situation can be discovered because the Intelligence Department is more generous, but the construction period is short. The factory found an engineer from Jiangnan Factory to check through the relationship. The other party had studied in Germany and recognized that the steam engine was like the steam engine model loaded on a small military ship during the European War in Germany, and combined with the inferences given by those suspicious points.

After maintenance and renovation, the power system was in good condition and the original lack of power was mainly due to the poor coal burning used by the former shipping company and the poor maintenance work, which seriously affected the power of the ship.

However, even in good condition, the power is barely enough, and it is basically carried by the ship's needs. Fortunately, the Intelligence Department sent two fuel engines removed from the seized Japanese spy clutch, requiring it to be converted into a generator set to strengthen the power supply of the ship.

The power supply of the two marine fuel engines can be said to be extremely abundant after modification. In addition, the power unit suspected to be military, has sufficient performance redundancy to ensure durability and reliability.

The engineer gave a solution to modify and increase power, and installed a set of electric power-driven coal supply devices. Coal supply is secondary, mainly because it can spread coal into various parts of the combustion chamber more evenly, burn faster and more fully, provide more heat to the steam unit, and even spray fuel for the coal during the coal transportation process, which can be diesel or even heavy oil, further increasing the output power.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Others include a series of supporting improvements and adjustments such as electric blowers. The Intelligence Department naturally agreed. The reason for not changing the power system is not that there is no need for higher speeds, power, etc., but only for the cost and the coal-fired ship is more low-key and inconspicuous. Since it can be exchanged for some of this needs without too high costs on the original basis, there is naturally no reason to refuse. When necessary, the ship really needs to be able to run faster.

The ship was officially completed and delivered more than ten days ago. It is currently sailing around and is undergoing tests and running-in, but unexpectedly, it is necessary to play a role so quickly.

The captains, pilots, turbines and other crew members on the ship were all secret personnel who were recalled, and they were secret personnel who were placed on some ships or developed from crew members. Lin Mo could see the importance of waterways in intelligence activities, so he naturally foresaw the department. There had been some arrangements, but they had not achieved much results, or Lin Mo was not sure of any results.

Some of these crew members have returned from completing their tasks and have shipping-related skills or operations, but have no suitable jobs to continue to arrange them. For example, they have served as assistants of a marine mechanic.

He developed it, and was a mechanical professional. He was responsible for machine maintenance and support in the factory. Later, he was installed in a certain ship. He worked as an assistant under a mechanic for more than a year. He was recalled recently. He has professional knowledge and has a considerable business. He has basically been competent for mechanics for more than a year.

I originally planned to arrange people to study equipment, and then arrange them on the boat. One is that there is no other suitable candidate, and the other is that he wants him to take the opportunity to bring some people out. After all, some previous cases have confirmed that there are many tricks on the water.

Some crew members were recalled because of their exposed identity. It was meaningless and even dangerous to continue staying there. This was the case for the captain. He finally became the captain of a steamship along the inland coastal rivers in Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong and other places. As a result, his identity was exposed and he had no choice but to run away.

There were also several crew members who were on the ship for a while because of judgment or intelligence errors. After staying on the ship for a while, they found that they could not play any role and were recalled, so they arranged for work on the ship.

Some crew members were trained on the ship, most of whom were arranged to board the ship after the Intelligence Department recently recruited training, and the training purpose was self-evident.

As for the remaining crew members, they are normal crew members who have been on the ship for a long time and are relatively closed. The management requirements are similar to those inside the prison, but in normal times, they can get off the ship normally and deal with outsiders.

The cabin has four floors, and the one under the deck is the negative floor, mainly the engine room, coal room, cargo room, oil room, water room, sewage room, etc. In addition to these conventional rooms, there are special rooms such as cold storage and ice storage.

The exact point should be called the refrigeration room and the ice storage room. There are refrigeration equipment installed on the ship. These two warehouses are designed quite well. The original design was to store vegetables and the other to store meat, but due to the limited refrigeration capacity and the electricity consumption is too large, electricity can be used on the ship just to use oil!

It costs too much to keep the refrigeration equipment open, so a storage room is converted into an ice room, which can be filled with ice cubes. The two are next to each other, and the interval is replaced with materials and structures with strong heat conduction and dissipation. The ice room is used to maintain the temperature of the refrigerator room. If the refrigeration equipment is turned on for half an hour and an hour every day, it can ensure that even in summer in Jiangnan, the temperature of the refrigerator room can be kept at around zero degrees for a long time.

The first-floor cabin mainly includes kitchen, equipment room, training room, restaurant, bathroom, medical room, injury room, and duty lounge.

The kitchen and dining room are in the front, middle, equipment, training room are in the middle and back, bathrooms are in the front, duty lounges are in the middle and middle, medical care, and injuries are in the stern.

The largest space is the restaurant, which is called a restaurant, but it actually also has large conference rooms, large offices, study and rest purposes. The table and chair style is a bit like the integrated table and chair of a modern school restaurant, but this one is fixed, and there are high chest partitions between the front and back. There are four or eight seats, sofa soft seats, and wooden hard seats. People who don’t know how to see it from the outside will only think that this is a cabin.
