    "Submarine? Airplane?" Jiang Zhiqing only had a superficial understanding of the navy, so it was naturally difficult to imagine the wonderful uses of these two things.

    "Exactly! Although these two things are still very naive now, they will definitely change the way the navy fights in the near future. Of course, if you want to understand the magical functions of these two things, you must first know their past and present lives." Sun Yuanqi  After appointing Jiang Zhiqing as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, he spent a lot of time on investigation and research, "Let's talk about submarines first. Submarines appeared very early. It is said that as early as the European Renaissance, painters, inventors, medical scientists, astronomers,  Leonardo da Vinci, a genius with many identities, including a construction engineer and a military engineer, once conceived of underwater ships. This can be regarded as the original idea of ??a submarine. Later generations continued to follow in Leonardo's footsteps and achieved  Great progress has been made, and the adventurous Americans have played a major role in it.

    "The first military submarine in history appeared during the American Revolutionary War. The designer was David Bushnell of Yale University. In 1776, the simple submarine he designed tried to attack the British Royal Navy Eagle, but failed.  It was successful, but it pioneered the first attempt by a submarine to attack a warship. The first submarine in history to successfully sink an enemy ship appeared in the American Civil War, when the Southern camp's Hanley submarine successfully sank the Northern Federation's Housatonic. Although  The submarine itself also sank due to the vortex generated by the explosion, but it provided future generations with a new method of naval warfare.

    "After one or two hundred years of development, especially the technological progress of the past two decades, submarines have become increasingly mature and have quickly become one of the important combat forces of the navy. At present, the world's major naval countries have more than 260 submarines of various types. But in East Asia  Generally speaking, submarines are still rare. Firstly, because submarines from European and American countries cannot reach the Far East due to limited capabilities; secondly, as a naval power in East Asia, Japan only began to design and design independently in the 33rd year of Guangxu (1907).  The plan to build a submarine is still in the preliminary stage, and it is really difficult to see anyone.

    "Our country also excelled in submarine research. As early as the sixth year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1860), the Tianjin Machinery Bureau designed and built an underwater machine ship with the intention of lurking underwater and transporting mines to be placed on enemy ships.  Under the ship. This machine ship can be regarded as China's first submarine, but the authorities did not pay enough attention to it, and nothing has been done since. As a result, not only no one in the country is studying submarines, but also very few people even know about submarines."

    Jiang Zhiqing was a little depressed: "According to what Mr. Wang said, our submarine is just a mirror of the moon, and we won't be able to rely on it for a while?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "You can't say that. Although the development of submarines is quite impressive now, due to power reasons, they cannot drive fast or travel far. They also carry few torpedoes, and they cannot submerge underwater for a long time. Therefore, they can generally only  Responsible for offshore and coastal defense tasks. The most important task of our navy now is offshore and coastal defense, which is one of our advantages.

    "The most important feature of submarines is their concealment, not the superiority of their performance. Our country currently does not have submarines, and has never been equipped with them before. The major powers are not prepared for us, and their concealment can be achieved to the extreme. This is our advantage.  of two.

    "Furthermore, our country was able to design and manufacture prototypes of submarines thirty years ago. Today's domestic scientific and technological level is completely incomparable compared to that time. The scientific research personnel are also quite large and very specialized. In addition, there are  We can learn from the experience of other countries, but can we not build it? In my opinion, the bottleneck in the development of submarines is not the manufacturing level, but the design concept. As long as we can work together, we may not be unable to come from behind. This is our third advantage.  . "Even if we fail to develop it, can't we get other countries' design drawings through other channels and copy them?  "

    Jiang Zhiqing hurriedly said: "Sir, this is what I want to teach you!"

    Sun Yuanqi continued: "As for aircraft, the aircraft developed by Jingshi University are now shuttled between major cities across the country. I think it is no stranger to Jieshi, but have you ever thought about applying it to naval warfare? For example, aircraft flying from land  take off from an airport to bomb invading ships at sea; or build a huge ship that can accommodate the take-off and landing of aircraft, and then start a fierce battle with enemy ships at sea. - Of course, China may not have the ability to build such a huge ship now.  .

    "You just mentioned the Dreadnought-class battleship competition that is in full swing among the world's major powers. The Dreadnought is indeed a powerful weapon in naval warfare and has epoch-making significance, but we must also be clearly aware of its shortcomings. Since the design concept of the Dreadnought was originally proposed  Ten years ago, at that time, the main focus was on the attack and defense between ships and ships, ships and coastal defenses, and little consideration was given to threats from below the water surface. As for the air, no one paid attention at all. Now that we have noticed this,  This is our advantage in the future.¡±

    Jiang Zhiqing??Something to think about.

    Sun Yuanqi finally concluded: "Naval warfare is not limited to the sea and land planes, but an all-round three-dimensional war in the sky, sea surface, land, and seabed. Therefore, sooner or later, the submarine force and aviation force will join the navy family. The air force is our  We have the advantages. Now Shaanxi has the 1st Brigade of the Northwest Air Force, Gansu has the 2nd Brigade of the Northwest Air Force, Shanxi has the 1st Brigade of the North China Air Force, and Sichuan has the 1st and 2nd Brigade of the Southwest Air Force. They are all already relatively strong. Why don¡¯t you move  Brain, be the first in the world to establish a naval aviation force?

    "If the confrontation between aircraft and ships is a technical confrontation, then the confrontation between submarines and ships is purely about defeating the strong with the weak and the weak, just like Zhu Zhu assassinating the king and Nie Zheng assassinating the Korean puppets. Think about it, the British  The cost of a dreadnought is about 1.8 million pounds, the French Guba class is 2.5 million pounds, and the Russian Gangut class is as high as 2.8 million pounds; and one of the most advanced submarines now, whether it is a German U-shaped submarine  , whether it is an American K-class submarine or a British E-class submarine, the cost does not exceed 100,000 pounds. Such a powerful blow is obviously worth thousands of dollars. This is also the fundamental reason why we want to develop submarines!"

    Jiang Zhiqing bowed and replied: "Whether the navy is developing aircraft or submarines, it needs your strong support!"

    Sun Yuanqi smiled and said: "Sun asked you to be the commander-in-chief of the navy, so there is no reason to turn away. It just so happens that this large-scale loan for the aftermath has brought a large sum of cash. Instead of letting Yuan Xiangcheng use it to expand the army, it is better to allocate some money to your navy. I predict  You need to establish an equipment research institute to be responsible for the research, design, and manufacturing of various naval weapons and equipment, including submarines; establish two flight groups and two submarine detachments, and you can start recruiting personnel immediately and conduct some preliminary training. It is estimated that 150  Ten thousand yuan is enough for your expenses this year."

    "Thank you, sir!" Jiang Zhiqing said with a hesitant expression after thanking him, "But -"

    Sun Yuanqi asked curiously: "If you have anything to say, Jieshi, just say it directly, why hesitate? Is it because you don't have enough money?"

    Jiang Zhiqing then said: "There is still half a year, 1.5 million yuan should be enough! The students are just a little worried. It has only been a year and a half since the founding of the Republic of China, and there have been two or three prime ministers. The replacement is not unhurried! Although Mr.  He has high integrity and is admired by all, but young people have ulterior motives. If he follows in the footsteps of Tang Shaochuan and Zhao Zhi'an, wouldn't this arrangement be a wedding dress for others? It is difficult for the submarine to produce results for a while, and the research staff will be dismissed or disbanded at the worst possible time.  The thing about relocating is that none of this matters, the key is the planes of the two groups.

    "As we all know, airplanes are now the magic weapon of our western provinces, and they are also a unique weapon that deters neighboring provinces from acting rashly. Yuan Xiangcheng and others have long been salivating about it, but they can't find a place to bite it in their eagerness. If he takes the opportunity to swallow those two  What to do with a flying brigade? In name, those aircraft were purchased with state money, and we in the west have no right to dispose of them. Moreover, none of our western provinces are close to the sea. If we choose to set up a research institute on the eastern coast, we may have to consider  Confidentiality issue?"

    The western provinces are all located inland, and only Sichuan and Hubei provinces can connect to the sea through the Yangtze River waterway. This is indeed a major weakness of the Sun faction.  But how can we study naval equipment, especially submarines and ships, without leaving the ocean?  Wouldn't that be a case of working behind closed doors?

    Sun Yuanqi pondered for a moment, then stood up and drew on the map in the study: "For the sake of confidentiality and to save lives, the news of the Navy's establishment of a flying group and submarine detachment will not be disclosed to the public for the time being. The flying group can be composed of reliable personnel from our western teams.  Adaptive training will be carried out in Kukunao'er (today's Qinghai Lake) in Qinghai. The Naval Equipment Research Institute and the submarine detachment can also set up branches here. Of course, the main part should probably be chosen by the sea. After all, you can't raise it in a small pond.  Dragon!"

    As he spoke, his fingers moved to the Haizhou Bay area in northern Jiangsu: "Now most of China's natural harbors have been leased and ceded by the great powers. There are very few that can be used by our navy, and Haizhou Port is one of them. The previous ones  In the days when Sun Yat-sen was planning the national railway, he once said that Haizhou's deep waterway to the sea can be said to be relatively good. It is the only one among the 250 miles of coast along the northern border of the Yangtze River. It can allow giant ocean ships to approach the shore for several miles.  That¡¯s it. And it¡¯s located between Dalian, Tanggu, Qingdao and Shanghai, Ningbo, and Guangzhou, with convenient transportation. If we can discuss it with the Jiangsu Provincial Government, it¡¯s best to choose here.¡±

    The main reason why Sun Yat-sen chose Haizhou Port is that it is the closest to Qingdao, has the most similar marine and hydrological conditions, and can take the opportunity to survey the surrounding terrain.  Once the war starts next year, this will undoubtedly be the best place to stay.

    Jiang Zhiqing shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult! Haizhou is located in the northern section of the Huaiyan salt production area, and the Lianghuai salt tax is the bulk of the local wealth. It has always been regarded as a taboo. How could the Jiangsu Provincial Government allow Mr. to get involved?"

    Sun Yuanqi continued to slide his fingers down: "If the Jiangsu Provincial Government does not agree, then we have to discuss with the Zhejiang Provincial Government to borrow a port. Zhejiang Governor Zhu Jieren (Zhu Rui) has a close relationship with Tang Zheweng, so there should be no problem in borrowing a port.  Maybe even security issues can be solved together.¡± (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com)Ren (Zhu Rui) has a close relationship with Tang Zheweng.
