Since the Queen threw the time bomb on Oahu to Zhang Yunfei, she returned to Hawaii Island and was worshipped by the natives every day and lived a comfortable queen life. Apart from sending 2,000 indigenous coolies and 3 million pounds to Zhang Yunfei, she never paid attention to Zhang Yunfei, as if even Zhang Yunfei had made a hole in the sky, it had nothing to do with her.

The ministers of the great powers of various countries also had a very tacit understanding that they did not go to Hawaii Island to bother the Queen, but instead talked to Zhang Yunfei on Oahu Island for any matters and discussed topics that both sides were interested in, such as a mysterious woman.

Zhang Yunfei even opened up the daily routine and sank many Shi Hai from later generations and revealed the classic news until they were knocked unconscious.

Zhang Yunfei had been thinking some time ago whether he should go to support the Qing Dynasty and stop Japan's attack. He also summoned the main officers of the Navy and Army to discuss, but they undoubtedly denied Zhang Yunfei's opinion.

The most important thing is Lieutenant Colonel Pablo, the commander of the Navy's Pacific Fleet. He said it very clearly that the Japanese main fleet has ten main warships and a large number of auxiliary ships, while our Pacific Fleet can only fight 6, and the others are short of people and cannot participate in the war!

In addition, Japan’s victory over the Beiyang Navy is not due to luck, it is strength. How can there be so many luck in the world?

The most important thing is that once we leave Hawaii, Japanese spies in Hawaii will immediately notify Japan that the fleet will be attacked at any time when we reach China for nearly 9,000 kilometers. If we encounter a sneak attack by a torpedo boat at night, even the ironclad ship Nanjing will be in danger of sinking!

After considering Pablo's opinion, Zhang Yunfei thought that he was right. The Pacific Fleet had nothing except 6 warships and 5 training ships, and all auxiliary ships, torpedo speedboats and supply ships were zero.

Zhang Yunfei even knew that Japan once again defeated the strong by weak 10 years later, and wiped out the Pacific Third Squadron, which was temporarily formed by the Russian Pacific Fleet and the Baltic Fleet, and he lost only three torpedo boats.

As Pablo said, that was not a lucky chance, but a strength. I almost got blinded by pride! (Zhang Yunfei: The author asked me to YY! Cruiser: No! You are already undermining history! If YY is not a good idea, will you let people live! If readers don’t give tickets, I will buy a warship with shrimps!)

So, Zhang Yunfei had to devote himself to the construction plan of his nest.

The British government signed the Security Treaty between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Hawaii with the United Kingdom, which was agreed after careful consideration. The American threat theory created by Zhang Yunfei and the political structure of the Far East have made Zhang Yunfei the political figure of the year in Europe. His unique and profound insights have been recognized by the ruling parties and opposition parties in Europe, and have been vigilant against the United States. The British political parties also believe that the British isolationist policy has caused European countries to unite and pose a threat to Britain's diplomacy and security, so the isolation policy must be terminated, and the alliance with Zhang Yunfei has just become a breakthrough.

Afterwards, Zhang Yunfei summed up only one sentence: 'I am just the first person to eat crabs!'

At the same time, the UK also received a huge order for Zhang Yunfei to build a large number of cruisers. At this time, various countries finally understood that Zhang Yunfei had turned to Britain. All countries were helpless and were more jealous. European and American countries that put money first care about the most were commercial orders! So they extended their olive branches to Zhang Yunfei, hoping to get Zhang Yunfei's orders! Zhang Yunfei was obviously so happy that he couldn't stop talking about this. He refused everyone and accepted them all.

The United States hated Britain even more. It turned out that it was the British behind it! After our Navy plan was completed, we would not be able to beat me all over the ground!

Japan breathed a little relieved. Although he was very angry and worried about Zhang Yunfei's control of Hawaii, he now formed an alliance with Britain, and Japan is also a British alliance. Although it only lasted for two years, it was enough. They had two battleships in two years, and it would not be too late to deal with Zhang Yunfei. But what Saburo Shinoda didn't know was that Japan had been trapped in the naval arms race initiated by Zhang Yunfei maliciously and could not extricate himself. It was just the beginning. So Japan did not react too excitedly.

Neither the United States nor Japan, which have vital interests as Hawaii, responded no big deal, and other countries didn't care even more, but their win-win cooperation with Zhang Yunfei was strengthened.

It’s still the famous saying and truth, money can make ghosts beat!

When Germany heard that Zhang Yunfei was going to build a Pearl Harbor Fortress and Naval Base, it sent bidding invitations to various countries, and immediately sent a huge number of officers visiting groups, arms dealers and port construction expert groups to Hawaii to negotiate with Zhang Yunfei. King William II even gave a death order to win this huge order.

Because Germany was quite well prepared and extremely confident, other countries only sent negotiators, while Germany brought all the officer advisory group, the famous German arms dealer group, and the famous port construction expert group. It can be seen that Zhang Yunfei originally planned to use Germany, but now he no longer needs to explain to other countries why he used Germany. Isn’t this obvious! Germany is so well prepared!

On December 15, 1894, Zhang Yunfei and the commander of the Far East Fleet, Deputy Minister of the German Navy, signed a project contract worth 62.3 million German marks, including the Pearl Harbor Naval Base Port Project, the Pearl Harbor Fortress Project, the Pearl Harbor Gun Manufacturing Plant and the German Army Advisory Group, at the Iorani Palace on Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii.

The port project and fortress engineering cost 500,000 German marks. This made Zhang Yunfei feel so painful for a while. Damn, technical work is profitable at any time! A piece of white paper costs 500,000 marks, just grabbing money! But you have to give it to others obediently.

The construction cost of the port and fortress projects is 6.5 million German marks in the first phase of the project and 50 million German marks in the second phase of the project. The main additional military facilities such as fortress cannons are added.

Oahu Island covers an area of ​​1,554 square kilometers. There are two southeast-northwest-northwest mountain ranges on the island, with peaks standing at a high of 1,228 meters. The coast is winding, but there are many coral reefs along the coast. Honolulu is on its southern shore, and Pearl Harbor is squeezed by these two mountains. Most humans live around the mountains. There is a very wide valley between the mountains, leading directly to the sea to the north of the island. The various forts in the fortress are built along the tops of the two mountains, until humans cannot climb until they stop. The connection between the adjacent fortress is built along the inside of the island, so it extends into two straight lines to the sea.

The junction point in the middle is Pearl Village north of Pearl Harbor, which (the city of later generations) is connected in a straight line to the fortresses on the mountains on both sides. Looking down from the air, it looks like a horseshoe mark.

Since the Muaka Mountain on the east side of Pearl Harbor is longer than the Melemanu Mountain on the west side, the Pearl Village behind Pearl Harbor has 4 forts, and 10 forts were designed on Maaka Mountain, and there are only 7 forts on Maaka Mountain. Since the turrets are arranged in stairs and extend to the top of the mountain, the firepower of the entire Pearl Harbor Fortress can use the advantage of mountain height to strike any target within 30 kilometers, and the firepower covers the entire Oahu Island. If the enemy attacks Pearl Harbor head-on, it will be fired by 126 280mm45-diameter fortress cannons. If it hits, it will be enough to sink any battleship and will be killed without any residue. Since it is interesting that the height of the surrounding mountains is basically the same, even if the enemy attacks from the side, it will be attacked by the firepower of both sides, which is really like an iron barrel.

Zhang Yunfei knew that if it was built, unless it was a plane in the sky, there would be no way to destroy the fortress. However, if there were more than 20 Yamato-level battleships, Zhang Yunfei would have no choice but to accept his fate.

Each turret is made of reinforced concrete. Relying on the powerful terrain of the mountains, most of which are built underground, revealing only the fan-shaped top. All the weapons and personnel of the turret are hidden in the mountain below, with a total of 340 cannons and a large number of Maxim heavy machine guns.

On average, each turret has 6 280mm fortress cannons and 10 120mm war defense cannons and 4 150mm howitzers. All turrets are protected by steel armor, which can be rotated at 360 degrees, and can be automatically lifted and lowered by water pressure. The turret is also equipped with searchlights for night shooting, which can be lifted and lowered like the turret. There are also rapid-fire cannons and machine guns that block the mountain slopes and nearby dead corners below the turret.

The forts and permanent fortifications were all cast using steel and cement concrete according to Zhang Yunfei's requirements. The cement raw materials were made of Hawaiian volcanic lava and hard limestone.

Below the fort, there are well-connected passages and various basements, which store a large amount of food, drinking water, ammunition, medical supplies and power supply facilities. There are also deep protective trenches dug on the outside of each fort, and there are a large number of barbed wire and obstacles on the outside of the trenches.

The army guarding each turret is equipped with 3 artillery companies and 1 infantry company. There is also a mobile infantry company patrolling the mountain passage between each turret. In this way, each turret plus mountain passage has a total of more than 500 people, a battalion. In total, this defense system is terrifying. Not to mention how much these equipment costs, 21 turrets alone will cost more than 10,000 soldiers, and they must be high-tech artillery! 6 280mm fortress cannons and 10 120mm war defense cannons, 4 150mm howitzers, plus permanent fortifications, what is the concept? The sum of all the firepowers of the side side of a front fearless-class battleship! One turret is a battleship that cannot be sunk!

Zhang Yunfei calculated that each turret would require 80,000 pounds, and 21 turrets would be 1.68 million pounds. This is not just the equipment of machine guns and rapid-fire artillery guards. When Zhang Yunfei thought of this, he felt distressed again: 'Oh, this damn Francis stood and spoke without a back pain! Fortunately, the German side agreed to train Zhang Yunfei for free until he formed his combat power, which gave Zhang Yunfei a small comfort!

‘Save as much as you can!’ Zhang Yunfei finally knows what it means to be a military force. The money it costs to raise an army is really!!!!!!!!!!!!

The designer is Francis. He is a famous port construction project and water conservancy expert in the German Admiralty Department who is responsible for designing the port fortress. Once this guy works, he is a workaholic. He takes Zhang Yunfei's subordinates to visit Oahu and draws drawings. He almost hangs it in the tropical rainforest several times. In the end, Zhang Yunfei had to let some indigenous people follow him everywhere! He didn't throw Zhang Yunfei away several times, and Zhang Yunfei was so angry that he hated him.

It was not until Francis shouted: ‘It’s another Constantinople!’ ‘The never-sinking super battleship!’ that it was announced that the design was completed and construction was about to begin!
