Needless to say, with the warm reception of high standards, it is another feast for guests and guests to have fun.

After dinner, Yang Fan asked Powell and others to check in the Gaomi People's Hotel. After taking the boat for more than a month, it felt really bad. They had to tell them all, and then have a good sleep before talking about it.

After walking out of Gaomi People's Hotel, Yang Fan smiled and said to Liu Qiang: "What do you think of this Edmund?"

Liu Qiang said in a deep voice: "There is indeed something extraordinary. I asked many very professional questions. He can handle them freely. He will be a good foreign teacher in the future!"

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Our navy starts from scratch. Although I have collected a lot of information, tutorials, and developed a lot of training equipment and facilities, I lack naval officers with practical experience.

You have a good relationship with him these days, first understand his character and details. If this Edmund is trustworthy, then absorb him!"

"Please rest assured, Chief!"

Liu Qiang naturally understood what Yang Fan said. The most important thing for the Chinese Hu Ben Army is not personal ability, but absolute loyalty, especially senior officials who can access core secrets.

"Um!"

Yang Fan then said: "I have purchased a batch of ships, including 6 Type 2B U-boats, 5 frigates, and 5 Kanon-class frigates. It can reach Jiaozhou Bay in only two or three days at most. You won't have to play the empty city plan at that time!"

The price of ships and ships in the system mall is not cheap. These alone cost Yang Fan 123 million wealth points, and he consumed all his savings in an instant.

Among them, the 2b U-boat is currently the main submarine in Germany, with a crew member of 24 people and a length of 40.9 meters.

The model is 4.1 meters wide, with a full load displacement of 381 tons, a range of 2,960 kilometers, a speed of 13 knots, and a submarine depth of 150 meters.

The German Navy II-class submarine is a small offshore submarine and the first U-boat built by the Germans after World War I. Its design comes from the Vesikko submarine built for Finland from 1931 to 1933.

The submarine uses a double-layer hull, powered by the Keting kerosene engine, and is armed with three torpedo launchers on the bow.

The Canon-class frigate is 93.3 meters long, 11.2 meters wide, with a full load displacement of 1,930 tons, a range of 5,822 nautical miles, and a speed of 18 knots.

Weapons and equipment are:

(1) Artillery: 3 US Navy 76mm 50?mk?22 naval guns; 3 double-mounted Bofos 40mm naval guns;

(2) Torpedo: 6 324mm mk?32 torpedo launch tubes;

(3) Anti-submarine rocket: 1 "Hedgehog" mk10 anti-submarine rocket launch device;

(4) Deep bomb: 8 deep bomb launch devices; 2 deep bomb drop guides; 8 mk6 deep bomb propellers; 1 drop guide;

In addition, there is also a helicopter take-off and landing platform.

Frigates and escort boats sound similar in names, and sometimes they are even confused about the same type of ship, but in fact, the two are very different and they are not of the same level at all.

Frigates are medium-sized ships that can operate in ocean-going maneuvers. Their power devices generally use gas turbines or diesel, or diesel-gas turbine combined power devices.

Frigates can perform combat tasks such as escort, anti-submarine, air defense, reconnaissance, patrol, mine laying, supporting landing and supporting the army's littoral flank. It was once called an escort ship or escort destroyer. In modern times, as frigates become larger, the boundaries with destroyers have become increasingly blurred.

The escort boat is a small surface combat boat that uses small caliber naval guns as weapons and is used for patrol, escort and fishing in the nearshore coastal sea area, also known as gunboats or patrol boats.

The displacement is tens of tons to 500 tons, the speed is 10 to 45 knots, and the hydrofoil patrol boat can reach 50 knots. It is equipped with 1 to 2 single-barrel or double-barrel guns, several machine guns, and deep-water bombs.

Frigates are much larger tonnage than frigates, and they can carry more crew members, oil carriers, supplies, weapons and equipment, so frigates can perform missions at sea for longer time.

At the same time, due to the larger hull, frigates are more navigable, so frigates can perform missions in the ocean, while frigates can only defend nearshore and ports.

As for destroyers, cruisers, battleships and aircraft carriers, Yang Fan will not consider it for the time being. He will first buy some small and medium-sized ships for the navy to practice. It is not too late to develop enough skilled navy before he can do it.

Of course, the main reason is that it is too expensive. Now the financial strength is not enough to buy much. Even if you buy a few, it is just a target ship that attracts hatred!

The currently purchased ships can be parked in Jiaozhou Bay and rely on powerful coastal defense fortifications. There is no need to worry too much about the Japanese devils coming to carry out air strikes and bombings.

After a year and a half, a very complete naval base and submarine military base have been built in Jiaozhou County.

Among them, several tunnels have been dug up on the coast of Jiaozhou Bay, and the exits and inside the tunnels are reinforced with concrete. The longest tunnel is 350 meters long and has a depth of 15 meters, which is enough for multiple submarines to hide at the same time.

At the same time, Liu Qiang's naval forces had reached more than 3,000 people, and he had learned all kinds of naval theoretical knowledge, but the worst was practical application.

Therefore, Yang Fan could only grit his teeth and save enough start-up funds and bought a total of 16 ships in one go, which could fully meet the current offshore training needs.

After listening to Yang Fan's introduction, Liu Qiang rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "That's so great. Brothers have long been looking forward to this day!

Hehe, to say, "I don't like to hear it, if I can't see the ship after waiting for two or three months, I, the navy, can't handle it!"

Yang Fan laughed and scolded, "Okay! Don't complain to me! Nowadays, you need to use money everywhere and buy property everywhere. You are not in charge of your business and don't know how expensive the food and rice are!"

Liu Qiang quickly smiled and said, "That's it! That's right! Only the general staff in the world have this method of enlightenment. I admire you so much!

If it were someone else, let alone breaking the unparalleled foundation of the Chinese Hu Ben Army today, even if it could stand firm in the siege of the Japanese, it would be a great miracle!”

Yang Fan waved his hand and smiled, "Stop flattering! I won't treat you anymore, what should you do! Today is the master's introduction, and you have to operate and manage the next thing!"

"Good! Please don't worry, Chief Executive Officer. I will work harder and never dare to let down the Chief Executive Officer's high expectations and cultivation!"

Liu Qiang nodded heavily, then turned around and left happily with both hands.

After Liu Qiang walked away, Yang Fan said to Li Shuchun who was smiling and silently beside him: "Chief of General Staff, there is something you need to prepare for!"

Li Shuchun quickly restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Please give me instructions, I am not afraid of being idle but I am afraid of being idle!"
