Port Relocation, Plan to Continue the Construction of Huludao Port
Seeing Shen Honglie's hesitant expression, Yang Yuting understood.
He looked at Zhang Xueming silently.
Yang Yuting was very smart and knew how to be a smart subordinate.
If the marshal had no plans for the navy, he would not have traveled all the way to Yingkou Port.
"Chief of Staff Yang, what's the current situation of Dagu Shipyard?”
Zhang Xueming suddenly asked.
The Feng army had a shipyard, which was the spoils of war after they captured Tanggu during their heyday.
Shen Honglie had foresight.
When they invaded the Beijing-Tianjin region, they took over the Dagu Shipyard immediately.
Dagu Shipyard was not simple.
It was located on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Jinhai River. Its predecessor was the Northern Navy's ship repair factory, and it was the earliest ship repair factory in the north.
Not only did it have six docks.
There was also a turbine workshop, a horsepower room, a pumping room, a dock, and a crane.
It was a ship repair factory with independent shipbuilding capabilities.
Back then, the Immemorial Shipyard had played an important role in the Northern Navy's rise to the top of Asia.
"Marshal, the Shipyard has yet to be handed over to the National Government. That Jiang has urged us to hand it over as soon as possible.”
Yang Yuting smiled cunningly.
"This is all thanks to Commander Shen. He parked two gunboats in the dock for maintenance, which gave me a very good excuse.”
Shen Honglie felt a little awkward and glared at Yang Yuting angrily.
Blame him for bringing up the issue.
After all, using such a despicable scheme to delay the battle would be beneath his status as the deputy commander of the navy.
"Commander Shen, you did well.”
Shen Honglie raised his head and met Zhang Xueming's gratified gaze.
"Commander, I think Dagu Shipyard is very important and I can't bear to hand it over.”
Zhang Xueming was very surprised.
Shen Honglie had indeed helped Zhang Xueming a great deal.
In his opinion.
It might be because they were reluctant to have a dock that could repair ships. After all, the Fengtian coastal defense ships were old and often needed repair and maintenance.
However, Shen Honglie would never have thought that.
It was this scheme that he thought was despicable that had left such a precious fortune for the Fengtian Navy.
Of course, Zhang Xueming had plans to revive the navy.
After suffering in the first Zhifeng War, Old Marshal Zhang understood the importance of developing the navy and even established the Northeast Merchant School.
However, the construction of the shipyard was not satisfactory.
It wasn't that Old Marshal Zhang didn't invest enough. The ship repair plant couldn't be built overnight.
That was why Shen Honglie was so reluctant to part with the Dagu Shipyard.
However, Shen Honglie had never expected this.
It was his inability to give up on the Dagu Shipyard that greatly shortened the time for the development of the Feng Army Navy.
"Well done!"
Zhang Xueming's exaggerated words made Yang Yuting jealous of Shen Honglie.
"Advisor Yang, Commander Shen, I order you to dismantle all the technicians, workers, and machinery in Dagu Shipyard and transport them back to the pass as soon as possible.”
Zhang Xueming's serious expression made Yang Yuting and Shen Honglie understand the seriousness of the matter.
It seemed that the marshal placed great importance on this matter.
"Remember! I said everything, no matter what method you use.”
"Understood, Commander!"
"Yes, sir! I will do my best to cooperate with Chief of Staff Yang.”
"Marshal, where are we going to transport the things we have taken down?”
Yang Yuting asked.
"Huludao!"
Yang Yuting's heart skipped a beat when Zhang Xueming said the words "
It was actually a Huludao!
Was the marshal building the Huludao Port?
Shen Honglie's breathing became heavy and rapid.
Although Yingkou Port was the main port of the Fengjun Navy, Yingkou Port was not suitable as a military port of the Northeast Navy. The special geographical location caused Yingkou Port to be impassable for four months of the year.
This was undoubtedly a fatal problem for military use.
After all.
They couldn't possibly ask the enemy navy to wait for the port to thaw before launching an attack, right?
However, the gourd-shaped island was different.
Huludao Port is wide and deep, which can avoid wind and waves. It is a good harbor that is not frozen and has great value.
The strategic location of Huludao made it suitable for both military and civilian use. It was a bright pearl with great potential to be discovered.
But the problem was…
Since there was such a good port location, why had it not been built yet?
In fact, it wasn't that no one had discovered it.
Instead, it was the many port plans that had been aborted due to various obstacles.
Since the reign of the late Qing Dynasty, there had been two people who had built the port on Huludao.
They were Xu Shichang from the late Qing Dynasty.
And the northeast king, Marshal Zhang.
During the late Qing Dynasty, it was undoubtedly the best time to build the Huludao Port.
But it was a pity.
After Xu Shichang raised the funds with difficulty, he was forced to stop work not long after he started work because of various turbulent events.
Commander Zhang also realized the need to build the port.
But the problem was…
At that time, the Japanese forces in the three provinces were seriously eroded.
The Japanese army knew that once the Huludao port was successfully built, it would compete with Dalian port under their control, so they interfered.
The private capital was threatened by the Japanese army, and the project funds could not be raised.
The plan to continue building the Huludao port was once again aborted.
Regarding this.
Yang Yuting and Shen Honglie both knew.
The two of them had been involved in the second plan to continue the construction of the Huludao Port, constantly seeking new private capital to raise funds.
Unfortunately, in the face of the Japanese army's coercion, private capital avoided the continued construction of Huludao Port.
It could be said.
The Huludao port was a pain that they could not erase from their hearts.
Unexpectedly.
Zhang Xueming's gaze also landed on the gourd-shaped island.
But it was different from the previous two times.
After Zhang Xueming said the words "Huludao", Yang Yuting's eyes lit up. He couldn't hide his excitement.
He definitely could.
Old Marshal Zhang might not be able to continue the plan to build Huludao.
However, their Great Commander-in-chief could definitely do it!!
If there was anyone in the world who could withstand the pressure of the Japanese army, it would definitely be Zhang Xueming!!
Now.
Under Zhang Xueming's rule, the Feng army and the Japanese army were already at loggerheads.
The Feng army began to treat the Japanese army and the Kwantung Army with high pressure.
Zhang Xueming's words that day.
Not only did it sound a warning to the high-ranking generals of the Feng family, but it also changed the attitude of the Feng army towards the Kwantung Army and the Japanese army.
Since there would be a battle sooner or later.
It was a knife to extend one's head and a knife to retract one's head. Why did he have to retract his head?
Moreover, he had to be careful.
Zhang Xueming had already issued a clear order, saying that if the Japanese army dared to invade the Fengjun, they would definitely go all out.
The Japanese army dared to continue to obstruct the construction of Huludao Port.
How could Zhang Xueming be soft-hearted?
Moreover,
Anshan Iron Mine and Fushun Coal Mine.
In order not to alert the enemy, the Japanese chose to retreat tactically.
Naturally, he didn't have the courage to deal with the issue of the Huludao port.
