However, even though they were in Chongqing, when they received the invitation message from Qiao Anbang, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi rushed back to Xuzhou from Chongqing, and then took the 11th Army's transport plane from Xuzhou to Qingdao.
When Qiao Anbang and other convoys arrived at the military port, the Fifth Division Commander Jiang Jun, Chief of Staff Liang Haoyao, and First Regiment Commander Tian Jin, who were personally responsible for the defense of the military port, hurriedly came over to greet him. Qiao Anbang had just gotten off the car, Jiang Jun, Liang Haoyao and others all stood up and saluted.
After Qiao Anbang gave them a symbolic salute, he shook hands with them one by one, and then strode toward a transport ship anchored on the shore of the military port surrounded by everyone.
Jiang Jun, Liang Haoyao and others followed respectively. Liang Haoyao and Zhang Yi were ordered to return to the country when Qiao Anbang went to the UK. They were responsible for the translation and liaison between the submarine mercenary troops sent by Hitler and the 11th Army, helping Qiao Anbang. Training submariners and other sailors.
When Qiao Anbang and his party all boarded the transport ship, the transport ship that had already started slowly sailed towards one of the two battleships parked in the military port. The displacement of these two battleships was more than 54,000 tons and 51,000 tons respectively. More than a thousand tons were "produced" by Qiao Anbang not long ago from its so-called Qingdao Shipyard.
It shocked the German sailors and the British mercenary sailors who had just arrived in China. It also shocked the Japanese government and opposition who were undergoing military reforms and trying their best to restore national strength.
Of course, the Japanese government and the public at this time were not only shocked, but also shocked. Regarding the shocking fact that the Qiao family army was about to form a navy and possess a large-tonnage battleship, the Japanese government and the public at this time were unable to interfere with it, let alone destroy it.
Because Japanese agents have learned that Qiao Jiajun has deployed a large number of fighter planes in Qingdao and Xuzhou, if our naval combined fleet dares to send sea-based aviation forces to conduct air strikes, it will inevitably be violently attacked by Qiao Jiajun¡¯s air force.
The Japanese Navy, which had long experienced the powerful fighter fleet of the Qiao Jiajun Air Force, naturally did not dare to attack rashly, because in addition to the Qiao Jiajun Air Force, waiting for them was a large-scale air defense firepower network deployed near the Qingdao port. Naturally, Japanese commanders would no longer send their precious pilots to carry out suicide attacks.
Not to mention whether the Japanese naval commander is willing or not, first of all, Ishihara Kanji, who has already taken power in Japan's new cabinet, will not agree with this stupid method of perishing together, because Japan is far from reaching the end of the river and fighting to the death. At this time, Ishihara Kanji was still ambitious to re-create the myth that the Empire of Japan was invincible in all battles with its navy, land and air force. Therefore, every battle against the Chinese army must be won at the minimum cost.
Closer to home, Qiao Anbang and others successfully arrived on the battleship with a displacement of 54,000 tons in a transport ship. Surrounded by everyone, they arrived on the wide deck and immediately began to announce the official start of the navy's founding ceremony.
Immediately afterwards, navy soldiers who had just joined the army began a flag-raising ceremony on two battleships and other large cruisers and destroyers.
Looking at the brand-new and dazzling blue sky and white sun, and the red flags rising all over the ground, the onlookers and guards on the shore of the pier couldn't help but start cheering and shouting, and later led by some passionate young people. Gradually, they began to shout exciting slogans such as "Long live the Chinese nation, long live Commander-in-Chief Qiao".
At this time, on the battleship, the service staff had prepared a microphone for Qiao Anbang. Qiao Anbang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said solemnly into the microphone: "Fellow compatriots, fellow villagers, please be quiet. Listen to Qiao!"
Qiao Anbang's voice echoed through the loudspeaker throughout the air inside and outside the Qingdao dock and military port. The crowd on the shore who had been shouting just now quickly became silent with great cooperation. The dock with tens of thousands of people was actually silent. The needle drop can be heard. All eyes were focused on the battleship where Qiao Anbang was located. They were looking forward to the speech of Qiao Anbang, the greatest anti-Japanese national hero in their hearts.
Qiao Anbang cleared his throat and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Compatriots, since the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, our Chinese nation has fallen into the misery of having no coastal defenses, no defense, and allowing others to bully and invade us. In the past half century, we have been China has tens of thousands of kilometers of continuous coastline and countless excellent ice-free military ports and docks, but it lost Ryukyu first, then Taiwan, and then more than half of China. The most direct reason for all this is In such a big China, there is not even a single naval ship among the 40 million Chinese people that can fulfill the duty of protecting our country's maritime borders. This is China's shame and the shame of all Chinese people!"
Qiao Anbang's words hit the hearts of the knowledgeable people present like heavy hammers, recalling that China has been repeatedly bullied by foreign powers in modern times, even the Oriental island countries that were not worthy of carrying China's shoes a thousand years ago. They can even ride on China's neck and shit, and almost beat China to the point of annihilation of its species and country.Having lost nearly half of their country, the strong sense of humiliation made many people cry with grief and anger.
Some people thought of their relatives who died in the war, and were affected by the emotions of other people at the scene, and they burst into tears.
At this time, Qiao Anbang's slightly hoarse and heavy voice sounded again: "Remembering the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, all our countrymen feel ashamed. If we don't work hard to revive China and revive the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, we will be under the nine springs in the future. , how can you see my Chinese ancestors with their faces?"
"Fortunately, God bless China. With the support of countless patriotic soldiers and patriotic compatriots, we have recovered large areas of land such as Sulu, Anhui and Anhui, and have developed and produced our own modern naval ships. Therefore, I declare that from today on, The Chinese Navy has been officially established! History will remember this moment. The great Chinese nation will bid farewell to the title of the sick man of East Asia. From now on, ships from other countries will never be allowed to sail in Chinese waters! Long live the Chinese nation! Long live the Chinese Navy!" Qiao Anbang concluded. The two sentences clearly raised his voice.
As soon as Qiao Anbang finished speaking, the soldiers on the naval ship began to fire guns in celebration, and then the people and guards on the dock on the shore burst into cheers and shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
After announcing the formal establishment of the navy, Qiao Anbang personally named two battleships, naming them Huangdi and Yandi battleships according to their tonnage. The intention is self-evident.
Finally, after Qiao Anbang and most of the generals of the 11th Group Army took photos on the battleship, they left the battleship and returned to Qiao's mansion in Qingdao. However, the people at the scene were still reluctant to leave and asked to stay at the dock to observe more. own country¡¯s navy.
The reason why Qiao Anbang returned to Qiao Mansion in such a hurry was because he knew that there were still many things waiting for him to deal with. Although the navy was officially established, it was still basically in the training period for new recruits. It wanted to form combat effectiveness, especially battleships, battleships, etc. Large battleships such as large cruisers and destroyers still require a relatively long period of training, because with just the hundreds of retired sailors and sailors that I got from Britain and the hundreds of German troops that Hitler lent to me, I estimate that even a battleship can be launched. Don't leave.
Therefore, the navy was only established in name only. The following days will be the beginning of large-scale and rigorous training for naval soldiers. To this end, Qiao Anbang allocated a one-time allocation to the naval fleet to recruit more than 30,000 new recruits with knowledge and a certain cultural foundation. .
Returning to his mansion in Qingdao City, Qiao Anbang first went to an ancestral hall and placed incense sticks on the two photos and a group of memorial tablets placed in the ancestral hall. Then he spoke calmly to his father Qiao Siyuan and his second brother Qiao Anbang. The photo said: "Dad, second brother, let me tell you some good news. Today, our Qiao Jiajun Navy was officially established. From now on, it means that the Chinese Navy has been rebuilt in my hands!"
"Dad, you and your second brother should be very happy to hear this news, right? In addition, I have expanded my army several times. Next, I will launch a counterattack to regain my mainland China. I will first restore my Han family's empire, Later, when the navy is reorganized, I will fulfill your last words, lead the army to cross the sea and conquer the four islands of Japan, and capture the Japanese Emperor Hirohito alive, in order to commemorate the souls of you and your second brother, as well as the countless Chinese compatriots who died in this war. !¡±
After saying that, Qiao Anbang took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. After taking a puff, he stepped forward and placed it in front of the portrait of his second brother Qiao Anbang and said bitterly: "Second brother, I know you never smoked during your lifetime, but you have to smoke this cigarette." Smoking, because they are Zhonghua brand cigarettes produced by our own cigarette factory!"
After saying that, Qiao Anbang saluted the saints in the ancestral hall with a military salute and said silently: "May the ancestors of my Qiao family bless me, Anbang's Northern Expedition can succeed, annihilate the future, and restore our beautiful rivers and mountains!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and strode away, walking quickly towards his conference room.
In the conference room, Li Pinxian, Zhang Yichun, Jiang Jun, as well as Li Yifeng, the commander of the first division who led his troops to confront Tang Enbo's troops on the front line, and Zhang Xudong, the commander of the armored division, were all present.
Seeing Qiao Anbang arriving, everyone stood up and saluted.
Qiao Anbang waved to them and said: "Sit down, everyone, don't be formal, time is important, let's talk about business directly, and other red tape can be avoided!"
With that said, when everyone was seated, Qiao Anbang also moved to the first place and said to Li Pinxian and Li Yifeng who were sitting below him: "Brother Heling, Yifeng, can you tell me what Tang Enbo's department is currently doing?"
Before Li Pinxian could speak, Li Yifeng stood up first, holding a document in his hand, and said to Qiao Anbang: "Chief Sir, you don't know something. During your absence, Tang Enbo's subordinates confronted ours for the first time." The 2nd Division of the 52nd Army has repeatedly stirred up troubles. I have always followed your instructions to keep things quiet and tolerate it for the time being. However, the Chief, I have some things to say that I am unhappy about. This bastard Tang Enbo has robbed us of the fruits of victory and is fighting with us.Not only to seize the territory, but also to hide evil intentions, almost all the main divisions of his 20th Army have their guns pointed at us. I think there will be a battle between us sooner or later! "
Qiao Anbang nodded calmly, and after observing the changes in the faces of his subordinates present, he said seriously: "To be honest with you, I have summoned you to a meeting today. The purpose is to break the current attack on our 11th Group Army by the Chongqing government forces. The strategic containment and encirclement formed will free up our hands to march the army northward, recapture the four provinces outside the Pass, and drive all the Japanese Kwantung Army, which is said to be one million, into the sea to feed the fish!"
"Chief Commander, do you mean to start a war against Tang Enbo's tribe?" Everyone present asked in shock. ! ~!
