The Red Alert Begins in the Wasteland

Cai Ruichen, who is the shopkeeper, has given the work of the orphanage to the people below. But it's not that after he returned to Marin Town, he could really lift his legs and enjoy life.

The orphanage may be regarded as a link in the future talent strategy, and he is destined to not inject too much energy into it.

After returning to Marin Town, he just promised to spare one morning every week to lecture at the orphanage.

Then he devoted himself to the future development of the base.

This time the trip to Baghdad not only smoothly brought Samarra from the Iraqi government.

It also paved the way for shipyard construction work.

The third technological expansion station has been completed, and this time the technological expansion station is naturally sent to Basra in southern Iraq.

The port of Basra, the only large port in Iraq, has a deep waterway directly connected to the Persian Gulf.

The former port of Basra could have berthed four 100,000-ton tankers at once. Even now, there is still a berth for a 100,000-ton tanker.

This represents the best proof that Iraq has exported a large amount of oil, but now, almost all Basra ports are operating at the lowest efficiency.

Iraq’s oil exports are all shipped from Kuwait’s ports.

Forty percent of the world’s crude oil is shipped from the Persian Gulf to the world, including oil from Iraq.

The role of the Basra port has never been restored. To restore it, a lot of money is needed.

The Iraqi government has always been able to guarantee that the port can barely be maintained.

The Iraqi navy is also stationed in the port of Basra.

As the second largest city in Iraq, and it has been relatively stable over the years, Basra is no less prosperous than Baghdad.

And Basra also has the second international airport in Iraq that is still in operation. Even flights to Israel. Every week, two flights will stop at the International Airport in Basra.

There is also the Iraqi government’s own shipyard in Basra, but after being bombed by the United States, only a few small ships can be built now, and fishing boats with a tonnage of up to hundreds of tons can be built.

It is impossible to build a thousand-ton ocean-going vessel. Coupled with the severe economic situation in Iraq, the only shipyard. It is almost on the verge of bankruptcy.

Cai Ruichen chose Basra instead of Umm Qasr, the southernmost city closer to the Persian Gulf, because of the city of Basra.

If it is to build a military port. Even if the aircraft carrier docks in the future, no matter the depth of the waterway. Whether it is the size of the bay, you must choose Umm Qasr.

In particular, Umm Qasr also has a huge concave U-shaped inland bay, which is also an excellent deep-water harbor.

The width and depth of the bay. As well as its own good wind and wave prevention effects, they are the most perfect.

But this place has a very important disadvantage. That is, it is too close to Kuwait. It is only a few kilometers away from the border between the two countries.

And the waterways in and out of the Persian Gulf. The other half belong to Kuwait’s territorial waters.

Of course, half of the waterways that Basra enters and exits the Persian Gulf belong to Iranian territorial waters near the Persian Gulf.

In the future, if the Red Police Navy develops on a large scale, even Umm Qasr may seem dangerous.

You can only choose there, otherwise it would be too much trouble for a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier to get in and out of Basra.

In Umm Qasr, the remaining aircraft carriers can enter and exit the port to the Persian Gulf by themselves except when they need to turn around and berth.

In addition, Basra does not have a large enough naval port to dock aircraft carriers. After all, once an aircraft carrier docks, it is not just a single aircraft carrier, there are other supporting ships.

But Basra is the best shipbuilding industrial base because it penetrates deeply into Iraq.

It is used to arrange ground defense forces and security equipment, which is very conducive to the confidentiality and safety of the shipyard.

Had it not been for the largest port in Basra, Cai Ruichen also planned to put the future naval base in Basra.

After all, there is already a naval base built in Iraq in Basra.

Considering the size of the Red Police Navy in the future, if only an aircraft carrier of 60,000 to 70,000 tons, Basra would be very suitable.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen did not completely cancel the plan to build a large naval base in Basra in the future.

You can only watch while developing, after all, no one knows the future.

But at present, in Iraq, the only place suitable for building shipyards is Basra.

I am afraid that there is no place in the entire Middle East that is more suitable as a super large shipbuilding base than Basra.

It was originally a deep-water port, with a good land environment, convenient transportation, and cheap land-based defenses away from the coastal line.

And even if a 300,000-ton super tanker is built, it can be launched smoothly.

If the area of ​​30 square kilometers is used as a large-scale shipbuilding base for the Red Police in the future, the area will definitely not be enough.

After all, even if it is three kilometers in depth, it is only ten kilometers in length. In addition, the bay is not straight, and other construction units must be considered. And the round shape of the role of the technology expansion station.

The places that can really be used to repair and build shipyards are actually only a part of the places.

But in recent years, such a place is completely sufficient. When the shipyard needs to be expanded, I am afraid that the entire Iraq is already in Cai Ruichen's bag.

The science and technology expansion station has been launched in Basra~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Cai Ruichen can't wait to build the first shipyard of the base.

The base’s shipyard is actually just a dry dock, a large dry dock with a width of 200 meters and a length of 500 meters, and a height of 100 meters, which is a fully enclosed structure.

The construction time is one week, the construction price, and the base’s consistent style, all the original Red Police construction units are at the original price. So only one thousand funds are needed.

Unlike other types of weapons and equipment, each dry dock in a shipyard is equivalent to a production list, and as many ships can be built at the same time as there are as many docks.

For a week, if others can't see what's going on inside, but just think that a big shell is built first, it's not too shocking.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen is also very relieved to directly build the shipyard.

However, in order to avoid the curiosity of some people, the protection forces have already followed the science and technology expansion station to Basra, first marking a part of the uninhabited area as a forbidden zone.

After the surrounding situation moves away, the scope will be further expanded. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
