    For the Soviets, although the deck and elevators of the Katsuragi aircraft carrier were blown up by US aircraft and had lost the ability to be used directly, it did not matter to the Soviets. The decks and elevators were not irreparable. Among the Japanese  Therefore, there was no repair because they did not want to waste the depleted resources when there were no more carrier-based aircraft for the aircraft carrier to use.

    This aircraft carrier gave the Soviets their first real aircraft carrier, not to mention its huge power. Before the Yamato-class battleships entered service, it was once the most powerful battleship of the Japanese Navy and the Nagato battleship, the symbol of the Japanese Navy. Therefore, in the end,  The Soviets even felt to some extent that they still had some advantage.

    In addition to these two large ships that the Soviets had longed for, as compensation Yang Zhen also transferred them to the Yokohama Naval Shipyard and Sasebo Naval Shipyard for free, which the Americans rated as the Japanese Navy's largest ship during World War II.  Drawings of the Shokaku-class aircraft carrier, one of the outstanding aircraft carriers.

    In addition, there are drawings of the Mogami-class heavy cruiser, Kuma-class light cruiser, and three types of Japanese Navy destroyers. Of course, there are also drawings of the latest Japanese Navy Gale fighter used as an aircraft carrier-based aircraft that the Anti-Japanese Alliance garrisoned in Japan.  and only one prototype.

    As for the drawings of the Taiho aircraft carrier, which was also a classic heavy-equipped aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy in World War II, its performance is even higher than that of the Essex-class aircraft carrier, the main aircraft carrier of the United States in World War II, as well as the Suzuya-class heavy cruiser and Agano-class light cruiser  , Yanyang-class destroyers, these four are the drawings of the best ships among the various ship types of the Japanese Navy, as well as the information on various submarines. He would not hand it over to the Soviets under any circumstances.

    He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very shrewd. Although he does not know everything about the various types of Japanese navy ships, he also knows that when a Soviet man opened his mouth to ask for it, he pushed 625 and put all the blame on the Americans, regardless of the Soviet Union.  No matter how people ask, they say that the drawings of these ships were destroyed by American bombers during the war.

    Yang Zhen refused to spit, and in addition, they had already obtained the design drawings and all technical indicators of a considerable number of excellent ships. The Soviets did not continue to ask questions. Being able to digest these drawings in a short period of time was enough to seriously lack large-scale ships.  The Soviets benefited a lot from their design and construction experience.

    It must be said that as an island country, Japan, which has been developing its navy for many years, has cultivated a group of excellent ship designers after nearly half a century of hard work. In fact, except for some electronic equipment and anti-aircraft weapons, the quality of Japanese naval ships  In addition, other things are no worse than those of the Americans. In some aspects, such as the firepower and development level of the ship's main gun, it is even better than the Americans.

    However, Yang Zhen was not stingy about the blueprints for the battleships that were built after the advent of missiles and had been eliminated by the navies of various countries, but the construction cost a huge amount of money. He searched for the Americans, but he was the first to get the Yamato-class battleships and Nagato.  The blueprints of the H-class battleship were given to the Soviets in one breath.

    Especially the Yamato-class battleships, which only built two and a half, consuming almost half of Japan's national power. Yang Zhen not only handed over the drawings of the ships, but even the drawings of the ship's artillery to the Soviets, starting from the construction of the Yamato-class  The two spare power systems for the Yamato-class battleships obtained by Kure Naval Shipyard, in addition to keeping one for their own research, were also transferred to the Soviets along with three spare gun barrels.

    Yang Zhen's behavior of consuming the Soviet Union's national power in disguise confuses some top Soviet officials at the time. Although the Soviet Union's current shipbuilding industry capabilities are not yet able to afford the construction of such large ships, for the Soviets,  Obtaining the blueprints and technology of the most powerful battleship in the world is undoubtedly a good thing that is gratifying.

    Moreover, in addition to the fact that Yang Zhen wanted to silence the Soviets and prevent a complete falling out, Yang Zhen also had an unspeakable reason. After the war with Japan ended, the civil war was about to break out.  In China, even if it sells iron and steel, it cannot afford to support these two large ships that are as oily as tigers.

    When these two warships go to sea once, they consume enough fuel to maintain an armored division in a large-scale battle. What's more, people who lack experience in using large ships cannot find people to use these two warships.  The warships that can drive these two warships and the Fengxiang aircraft carrier back to Lushun from Japan still rely on the original Japanese navy crew members captured on land.

    In order to drive these three warships back, although the last bit of the Japanese navy's fuel reserves was consumed, it was still only enough fuel for one trip. The remaining ships could only barely return to Lushun from Japan with enough fuel. The second one was Katsuragi.  Although the damage suffered by the ship was not serious, it was not something that the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which had only Huludao and Lushun left behind by the Japanese troops in hand, was in dilapidated condition and could only repair small and medium-sized ships. The shipyard could repair it.

      And according to the development trend of the world navy that I am familiar with, by the time the Chinese have the ability to build and repair themselves, and have the economic strength to maintain these large ships, the battleship, a type of ship that once dominated the oceans, will also be obsolete.  .

    Rather than having these two ships that cannot be used or repaired, but are unfortunately abandoned, it is better to hand them over to the Soviets and use them to silence the Soviets. Therefore, among the ships in his hands, Yang Zhen is more interested in them.  Among the only remaining ships of the Japanese Navy were the two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers, more than 20 destroyers, and a large number of coastal defense ships and other light ships.

    These ships are the most suitable for the inexperienced future Chinese navy, and their performance is not inferior to the World War II ships used by the United States until the 1960s. After being installed with electronic equipment such as radar and sonar, they can completely  To meet the needs of the Chinese navy in the next twenty years, of course, he will not take the series of suicide speedboats such as Huitian and Aurora used in suicide attacks.

    In Yang Zhen's eyes, what the Anti-Japanese Alliance should do most now is not how many warships they have on hand that can be put into actual combat immediately, nor how many fleets they can form. What they need to do most is to lay a solid foundation for the future development of the navy. Among the Japanese,  It even built its own shipbuilding industry on the basis left by the young marshal of the Northeast Army.

    After these ships arrived in Lushun, Yang Zhen not only brought two heavy cruisers to the dock of the Japanese Naval Shipyard in Lushun for overhaul, but also mothballed a considerable number of them, except for one Soviet-made cruiser, three light cruisers and ten  In addition to one destroyer, sixteen frigates, and more than twenty coastal defense ships being put into use, the rest of the coastal defense ships and above were mothballed by him.

    Of the more than ten submarines, only the three in the best condition are left for daily training, and the five are patrolling the outer seas. However, in the upcoming full-scale civil war, those can escort the transportation of supplies, ammunition and equipment from the northeast to other battlefields.  Small gunboats, escort boats, and gunboats are basically not mothballed, and all torpedo boats are also put into use.

    However, Yang Zhen invested huge sums of money and relied on naval officers kidnapped from Japan, instructors from the Naval University, naval engineers, senior cadres who had participated in the navy to aid the Soviet Union, and shipbuilding engineers from several major Japanese shipyards to establish separate establishments in Yingkou, Jinzhou and Tangshan.  It has a series of naval academies such as the Naval Engineering and Technical College, the Naval Command College, the Naval Aviation School, and the Naval Military and Political Cadre School.

    To train a large number of army cadres transferred to the navy, and to cultivate their own naval engineering and basic command talents, and to train those who only learned warship driving, fire support, landing training, mine clearance, and the most basic formation command in the Soviet Union.  But cadres who have never engaged in formal naval battles need to be systematically trained again.

    And in the original Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, now the People's Liberation Army Institute of Technology, based on the first three batches of returning students studying shipbuilding and power design from the Soviet Union, as well as some engineers invited from Japan, the Department of Shipbuilding Industry and Shipbuilding Industry were newly established.  R&D center.

    At the same time, Lushun and Huludao were built on the basis of the two former Japanese Navy ship repair yards. Huge sums of money were invested in reconstruction. In addition, shipbuilding equipment stolen from Japan and North Korea were upgraded to shipyards relying on shipbuilders and engineers robbed from Japan.  , For Yang Zhen, a century-old navy is not just as simple as having warships. What is more important now is to lay a solid foundation for future naval development.

    The reason why personnel are selected from the Japanese Navy to teach in naval schools at all levels is that in addition to the inherent lack of naval talents, which can even be described as a blank, even if they want to send overseas students to study in the navy, they are stuck in nowhere.  situation, because the two warships handed over to the Soviets had completely fallen out with each other, and the United States and Britain would never accept overseas students from the Anti-Resistance Alliance to study military affairs.

    Moreover, even the Soviets will not accept personnel selected by the Anti-Japanese Federation to stay in the Soviet Union to learn naval command and tactics. Under such circumstances, if they want to truly build their own navy, Japan has become a defeated country and is close to China.  Navy personnel were the only other candidates.

    In Yang Zhen's view, the Japanese Navy's tactical application and combined command still have considerable merits. Although the Japanese Navy's strategic vision during World War II was indeed a bit too short-sighted, after years of painstaking management and development, in addition to establishing a large  In addition to the navy, it also formed its own set of effective tactics that suit itself. During the Pacific War, the Japanese navy did not lose in tactics and the quality of its crews, but in strategy and national strength.  and the use of the navy throughout the war.

    With regard to the strategies and tactics adopted by the Japanese Navy in previous naval battles, taking the dross and taking the essence can still be used as a reference for China's future naval development, especially the Japanese Navy's influence on the grassroots military.The training of ?? is quite effective and efficient. Taking the enemy as a teacher and extracting its essence is not an embarrassing thing in Yang Zhen's opinion.

    Compared with the conservative use of naval tactics by the Soviet Navy, the spirit of the British in naval use, and the strict training of the Japanese Navy and the extremely high quality of its crew and basic officers, this is what the Anti-Japanese Alliance needs to learn most. Only by gathering people  In short, with a blank sheet of paper, the most important thing to do now is to create a set of strategies and tactics suitable for your own navy.

    As for the current large ships and cannons, they are really not suitable for the current navy, and when most of the commanders and crews have only received basic training, it is not appropriate to put all the ships into use at present.  In Yang Zhen's view, those commanders and crew members who were trained in the Soviet Union still need further training.

    However, Yang Zhen transferred two unprecedented giant ships of the Chinese Navy to the Soviet Navy. Not to mention that the Soviets who always thought they were smart fell into the trap. There were even many people in the party and the military who did not understand.  The country has just started, and for a long time it will not even be able to manufacture destroyers. It can only imitate some light ships such as frigates, minesweepers, and submarine hunters. It does not even have the most basic repair capabilities for large and medium-sized ships. The shipbuilding industry.

    These two ships are the largest in history since the Beiyang Navy established China's modern navy. They are also ships that the domestic shipbuilding industry has not been able to manufacture for a long time. They have become a favorite in the eyes of some people. In the domestic shipbuilding industry, it is very likely that they will be built in the 20th century.  Since large ships cannot be built within this year, in their eyes, these two warships can be said to be extremely important to the future development of the Chinese navy.

    However, the transfer of these two aircraft carriers and battleships, which are very important to the development of the Chinese navy, to the Soviets has caused many people in the military who also covet these large ships to have objections. There is no doubt that the current dream of big ships and big guns,  It still fills the minds of many people. Since they can't make it themselves, then these two captured giant ships are regarded by many people in the military as a windfall from heaven.

    For Yang Zhen to hand over these two ships to the Soviets, the opposition within the party and the military was very strong. If he had not communicated with Yang Zhen in advance, he would already have a good understanding of Yang Zhen's thoughts and clearly know  With the current strength of the party, it is simply impossible to support the chairman and boss of these two giant ships. It is really difficult for Yang Zhen to end the opposition by forcibly suppressing it.
