    Tang Jian said playfully: "Mr. Lenin, you are a traitor to your country. In order to overthrow your country's own legitimate government, you even sacrificed your land at the expense of it."

    Lenin did not expect that Tang Jian would say such a thing. Isn't this condition generous enough?  A sense of ominousness arose in Lenin's heart, but Lenin was unwilling to give up. The Russian Revolution was imperative, otherwise Russia would eventually become a second-rate country and provide food for European countries, and the lives of the Russian people would become even more difficult. This  This is what Lenin never wanted to see

    Lenin said: "President Tang Jian, I sincerely promise that the victory of the Bolshevik revolution will definitely bring great benefits to your country."

    Tang Jian smiled and said: "Mr. Lenin, I didn't say I won't help you. The conditions you offered are very generous and enough to make my heart move. It's just that I personally feel that your behavior is tantamount to treason."

    Lenin laughed dumbly. He did not expect that what Tang Jian said was actually this. Lenin said seriously: "Mr. Tang Jian, when every truth is born, it will be regarded as a fallacy by the society at that time, just like Aristotle and Galileo.  and so on, but I believe that the social system promoted by the Bolsheviks is about harmony. I will not explain it clearly, but everyone understands it. It must be superior. Time will be the best proof of the treason you mentioned. Did President Tang Jian back then?  When I resisted Yuan Shikai, wasn't it also said to be treason by many people? In addition, no matter what you do, you have to pay a price. My current behavior may be traitorous or treason, but I believe that the price I paid  The price is worth it. A small part of the territory is exchanged for a superior social system, which allows thousands of Russian serfs to become masters and live a happy life. Even if it costs me eternal infamy, I am willing to do so."

    Lenin's words shocked Tang Jian's heart. Tang Jian even felt that he had found a soulmate at that moment. Tang Jian felt that he and Lenin seemed to be the same kind of people, and both had the same dream. Tang Jian felt that he had found a soulmate.  I fully supported Lenin¡¯s impulse at no cost, but after a while, reason finally defeated the impulse. In the face of national interests, personal likes and dislikes seemed a bit insignificant.

    Tang Jian stood up, held Lenin's hand and said: "Mr. Lenin, I promise you, I hope that after the success of your country's revolution, you can immediately fulfill the promise you made here today."

    Lenin was overjoyed: "Of course, once the Russian revolution succeeds, we will repay the price China has paid twice."

    "You can talk to our Prime Minister about specific matters. What I want to say is that China will support at least 50,000 rifles and one million rounds of ammunition. In addition, in terms of funding, China will provide 80 million Huaxia coins, which is equivalent to  One hundred million dollars, of course, these funds will be provided to the Bolsheviks in your country in tranches over a period of five years.¡±

    "Thank you so much, my respected President Tang Jian" Lenin excitedly gave Tang Jian a warm hug.

    No matter what, Tang Jian¡¯s deal is all about profit and no loss. The area of ??the three northeastern provinces has doubled, and Siberia is indeed rich in minerals, which has great benefits for China¡¯s heavy industry.

    The European War is about to break out, and the First World War is not far away. With Tang Jian's support, Lenin will inevitably overthrow the rule of Tsarist Russia. By then, the vast Russia will fall into civil war. Tang Jian will decide based on the actual situation whether China will participate in the war.  , China has made preparations and is fully capable of protecting itself in a war, and then taking the opportunity to seek additional benefits.

    If China joins the war and Russia falls into a civil war, Russia will have no time to look eastward. Then China's vast northern border will be extremely safe. Tang Jian can also take advantage of the Russian civil war to develop Siberia along the Siberian Railway and seize the rich resources on the Siberian plain.  of mineral resources

    After seeing off Lenin, Tang Jian immediately made a call to Wuhan Airport to prepare the airport. This afternoon Tang Jian will fly to Fuzhou Shipping Bureau for inspection, and then fly to Huangyan Island, where Tang Jian will be in charge.  Commanded the South China Sea Fleet to cooperate with the Air Force to seize Luzon. Four months had passed since the signing of the Treaty of Guam.

    In the Pacific Ocean, the Pacific Fleet not only did not evacuate from Hawaii, but also anchored all China's main warships except the South China Sea Fleet in Pearl Harbor. At the same time, on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, China has the largest air force base in the Pacific Ocean.  It has been completed, and there are still 3,000 Marines and nearly 10,000 Army troops stationed nearby. On the southeastern coast of China, more than 200,000 Chinese Army troops are ready to go to the Pacific at any time.

    Fuzhou Shipping Bureau

    When Tang Jian took a plane to the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, China's first aircraft carrier had already been launched for sea trials. This aircraft carrier transformed from a dreadnought had a total displacement of 23,000 tons. It was an attack-type aircraft carrier.  It is equipped with a m¨¦n triple-mounted 305-caliber main gun and several other secondary guns.

    Due to limitations of aircraft technology??The entire aircraft carrier uses a "sloping board jump". There is a "jumping platform" at the front end of the deck of the aircraft carrier to help the aircraft take off. This "jumping platform" is actually the end of the deck made into an upward slope, forming an oblique throwing motion.

    This take-off method is relatively simple and is suitable for China's second-generation aircraft. During the take-off process, the aircraft carrier must sail against the wind at a high altitude of more than 20 knots to help the aircraft take off. Although the take-off and landing efficiency is not as high as that of later aircraft carriers,  For those who have come to the world's naval history, this is already a great progress.

    A new type of combat method is about to emerge in China. To a certain extent, aircraft will no longer be subject to the influence of combat radius. In naval battles, they will no longer be limited to the air-to-air bombardment between warships of the two armies. The emergence of aircraft carriers will  poses a lethal aerial threat to the enemy

    At least for now, navies around the world have not installed large-scale anti-aircraft guns on warships. In other words, after the appearance of the Chinese aircraft carrier, it will be in an "invincible" state for a certain period of time. There is no such aircraft carrier in the world.  Warships can withstand repeated heavy bombings from aircraft

    Of course, this "invincible" state is relative. Under the protection of aircraft carrier frigates, China's aircraft carriers are not afraid of threats on the sea. However, since Tang Jian commanded the Qianlong generation submarine to show its prowess in Sasebo,  At that time, the navies of various countries immediately stepped up the development of submarines suitable for undersea operations.

    Among them, the U-type submarines built by Germany as imitations of the Chinese Qianlong submarines are relatively advanced. Even though they are much behind China's second-generation Qianlong-class submarines, they are enough to pose a threat to the surface ships of the Chinese Navy, especially the attack force.  A slightly fragile aircraft carrier, in this case, has a certain requirement for anti-submarine warfare technology.

    At this time, Tang Jian and Tian Aden were riding on a torpedo boat, following the Chinese aircraft carrier in sea trials. Between the blue sea and blue sky, a giant ship with a strange shape was riding the wind on the sea, and several aircraft were flying.  Hovering at low altitude, adjusting altitude amidst the roar of engines, looking for an opportunity to land safely on the deck of the aircraft carrier

    On the torpedo boat, Adeng Tian said: "President, although we lost five aircraft and five pilots due to accidents in the previous tests, after obtaining corresponding data improvements, the probability of the aircraft carrier's safe takeoff and landing has been improved."  Improved to 90%.¡±

    Tang Jian nodded and said: "For the first-generation aircraft carrier, this kind of data is already very good. By the way, I have already chosen the name of this aircraft carrier. It is called China."

    Tian Adeng said: "Zhonghua represents the Chinese nation and promotes the prestige of our country. What a good name. President, I want you to recommend a person. This person played a big role in the development of aircraft carriers and submarines. He is an indispensable person for China."  He has so many talents that even Ouyang Yanqing is full of praise for him."

    "Oh, who is it?" Tang Jian was very curious. He must have been favored by both Tian Aden and Ouyang Yanqing at the same time. This person must be something special.

    "He's on the boat." Tian Aden smiled and said, "Shijie, come here."

    A young man wearing glasses walked up to Tang Jian. He looked to be in his twenties and had an ordinary appearance, but his whole body exuded something extraordinary. The young man said: "Wei Shijie, acoustic technical engineer of Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, meets the president."

    Tang Jian smiled and said, "Are you engaged in acoustics?"

    "Yes, President," Wei Shijie said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

    Tian Aden said: "Shijie returned from studying in the UK, mainly studying acoustics at the University of Great Britain. President, as you know, I am not very proficient in acoustics. The sonar and radar systems installed on aircraft carriers today are  It was mainly completed with the help of Wei Shijie."

    Tang Jian glanced at Wei Shijie appreciatively and said, "Why do you study acoustics?"

    Wei Shijie replied: "A few years ago, I studied at the Fuzhou Naval Academy. In view of the rapid development of aircraft, submarines and ships in our country, these weapons had a fatal flaw. After I discovered this flaw, I worked hard to study acoustics in order to  compensate for these deficiencies"

    "Oh, what are the flaws?" Tang Jian asked curiously. Since China has attached great importance to education and opened up its speech, there have been more and more talents in China. This is a great thing for China.

    Wei Shijie replied: "In a battle between two armies, whoever gets the upper hand will win half of the victory. However, when our army fights, whether it is the navy or the air force, most of them observe the enemy with their naked eyes and listen to the battle situation with their ears. This makes our army  The combat effectiveness of our army is greatly reduced. If our army has a pair of clairvoyance and ears for the wind, then we can have unparalleled advantages in future operations. The radar and sonar modified using acoustics will enable our army to operate above and on the sea surface.  The following clairvoyance and ears¡±

    While Tang Jian and Wei Shijie were talking, several planes circling at low altitude were all safeLanding on the USS China aircraft carrier means that the USS China aircraft carrier is about to officially enter service and be incorporated into the Pacific Fleet, adding huge combat effectiveness to the Pacific Fleet.
