    In the eyes of many people, Yang Zhen's behavior is not only a prodigal, but is even labeled as a foreign slave style. If it were not for the concern between the two parties, many people would probably even call him a traitor.  Exit.

    After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Zhen, who had been elected as a member of the Central Committee and a member of the Military Commission, did not expect that when the Central Committee held a plenary session of the Central Committee, due to this incident and some previous events, the plenary session of the Central Committee would turn into a confrontation.  During his criticism meeting, some people made harsh criticisms, which made Yang Zhen quite embarrassed and almost turned him into a street rat.

    Although it is difficult for Yang Zhen to accept the accusations made by some senior figures in the party, he has not changed his views on his own actions and is familiar with the future development trend of the navy. However, these words cannot be said in front of outsiders.  He could only hide everything in his heart, and occasionally talk privately with the chairman and boss.

    However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chairman repeatedly hoped to be more aggressive. The most important thing was that Yang Zhen, who had many ideas and a long-term vision, wanted to serve as China's first naval commander or chief of general staff, but he still rejected it because he did not want to be trapped.  In the midst of a power struggle in the central government, he chose to serve as the first commander of the Xinjiang Military Region and concurrently as the commander of the Production and Construction Corps, which was already in chaos due to the intervention of the Soviet Union and the interference of religious forces.

    Yang Zhen's choice may not have something to do with the turmoil within the party. Although he was privately known as the father of the New China Navy, Yang Zhen still chose to join the navy after the founding of the People's Republic of China without hesitation.  , completely withdrawing from the navy, and after the founding of New China, the Northeast Military Region had formed an effective naval system and all ships, schools, and personnel were transferred to the new naval command.

    It was not only those within the party who accused Yang Zhen, but also those who had suffered heavy losses from the Japanese navy countless times. Many people in the already declining Nationalist government took this opportunity to make major public accusations. Yang Zhen blamed these two ships for China.  To say that the unprecedented large ship was handed over to the Soviets was a traitor.

    Even in the eyes of many democrats, Yang Zhen was equated with a traitor. Some people even publicly announced in newspapers that if you can't support these ships, why not hand them over to the National Government? However, these people have not considered the war of resistance.  After the end, the national power was on the verge of collapse, and it was bent on fighting a civil war. The National Government, whose industrial base was not as good as the Anti-Japanese Alliance, was also unable to support these huge ships.

    Of course, these are all things for later. When Yang Zhen handed over the handover, he only considered the domestic affordability and the future development trend of the navy, but he did not expect that this matter would cause such a big disturbance domestically and internationally.  I almost became a rat crossing the street.

    What made Yang Zhen even more unexpected was that after accepting these two ships and a large number of drawings, the Soviets actually built two imitation Xianghe-class aircraft carriers a few years later. Of course, they are now called Moscow-class aircraft carriers. Three of them are now  The Yamato-class battleships, known as the Soviet-class battleships, as well as the two original Nagato-class battleships of the Stalingrad class, and six Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers.

    Of course, the carrier-based aircraft used by these two newly built aircraft carriers by the Soviets, as well as the Katsuragi aircraft carrier that was put into service after repairs, are no longer the Gale fighters, Zero fighters, Japanese attack aircraft, and torpedo aircraft used by the Japanese army.  It is an improved MiG-15 fighter jet and Il-10 attack aircraft, plus a Mi-4 helicopter.

    As for the weapons of the Soviet-class battleships, which are imitations of the Yamato-class battleships, in addition to the 460mm naval guns, they are also equipped with anti-ship missiles and ship-to-air missiles. As for the original Japanese Nagato, which is called the Stalingrad-class battleship  -class battleships, the original four 410mm twin-mounted naval guns were changed to the same two 460mm twin-mounted naval guns as the Soviet-class battleships for the reason of unification of caliber.  mm naval gun.

    Compared with the Stalingrad-class battleships, which are imitations of the older Nagato-class, the Soviet-class battleships are almost entirely imitations of the Yamato-class. Its huge hull is undoubtedly more in line with the Soviet appetite. The crazy Soviets not only equipped it one after another.  A large number of anti-ship missiles and ship-to-air missiles, and even a triple 460mm cannon was later dismantled and a ballistic missile launcher installed on the ship.

    The original Nagato battleship, which later became the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, had its two turrets dismantled and then installed twenty Styx missile launchers and four ship-to-air missile launchers in one go.  Transformed into a powerful missile ship.

    When the Soviets brought the news that these warships had been built and renovated back to China, Yang Zhen was dumbfounded and couldn't help but admire the Soviets' ability to install ballistic missiles on warships. Isn't it crazy? Don't they think so?  I was worried that once the ballistic missile, which was still liquid propellant at that time, exploded, it might destroy the entire warship.Then it went to heaven.

    Moreover, if these warships with huge targets are driven within a few hundred kilometers of the opponent's doorstep to launch ballistic missiles that have a range of only a few hundred kilometers at that time, do you think that your opponents are fools, or do you think that other people's navy and air force are fools?  As a display, the 460mm naval gun is indeed very powerful, but when the opponent has a navy with a large number of aircraft carriers and a powerful air force, if you drive it to someone's door, you can only seek death.

    But these have nothing to do with Yang Zhen. How the Soviets use these warships is their own business. Even the Soviets really drive these warships equipped with ballistic missiles with a range of 500 kilometers and powerful 460mm missiles.  A super battleship with naval guns and bombing Pearl Harbor had nothing to do with him.

    Although after the launch of these ships, the Soviet Union's naval strength leapt to surpass the British, who had depleted their blood during World War II and could not withstand the huge consumption of a huge navy. They retired a large number of ships and became the second largest navy in the world. But there is one thing  But there is no doubt that the construction of these giant ships will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the Soviet Union's national strength, which is in the recovery period of World War II.

    Unlike Japan and the United Kingdom, which were founded on the navy, have long-term accumulated experience in the manufacture and use of large ships, and have complete various naval equipment research systems and shipbuilding foundations, as well as the Americans with strong industrial foundations, the Soviet Union's original shipbuilding industry  The foundation was not developed, and before the war it was not even possible to design ships above destroyers on its own.

    Although most of the Soviet ships during World War II were built by themselves, their original designs relied heavily on the support of foreign countries, especially the German and Italian navies. Many of the power systems and optics needed to build ships also needed to be imported. Although  During World War II, the Soviets' scientific and technological capabilities made great progress by capturing German scientific and technological personnel to work for themselves.

    But the overall strength, especially in terms of naval talents and foundation, is still far behind that of the West. After all, the Germans could not be called a naval power during World War II. Under such circumstances, in  When the national power and technological strength are far from reaching a certain level, the cost of building these giant ships will undoubtedly be huge.

    Not counting the transformation of the metallurgical industry in order to produce armored steel that meets the needs of ships, even the investment in shipyards, the Soviets paid a high price. In order to build these warships, the Soviets transformed the original shipyards.  Extensive renovations and expansions were carried out, and two new shipyards were even built.

    There are also large steam turbines required for ship power. The Soviets themselves have never developed and produced large-scale steam turbines of similar scale, and the West currently firmly refuses to sell them. As the main firepower, they have never produced such large-caliber naval guns.  460mm naval guns, and of course, the reconstruction and expansion of the infrastructure at the military ports where these warships are parked. You must know that the Soviet Navy did not have such large warships before, and all military ports needed to be renovated and expanded.

    In addition, research on other aspects such as high-magnification rangefinders, various optical instruments, and radio communication equipment used by large ships requires huge investments in research and development. Although there are ready-made drawings and even physical objects that can be used, the drawings and the physical objects are different.  They are two different things. If you can make something by just looking at the drawings, then what do you need on-site engineers to do?

    Of course, there are also carrier-based aircraft used by aircraft carriers. Although there are ready-made models that can be improved, for the Soviets who have never used carrier-based aircraft, it is undoubtedly a huge test and the price paid is undoubtedly the same.  It is quite huge, and a piston-propeller fighter is completely different from a jet fighter taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier.

    In addition to the direct investment in these warships, the funds required for the construction of escort ships, as well as a large number of supply ships, repair ships and other auxiliary ships to maintain these giant ships at sea are also a huge number.  Afterwards, the Soviet Union's comprehensive investment in these warships was almost an astronomical figure. Even in several years, 60% of the Soviet Union's military expenditures were allocated to the navy, not counting the investment in basic aspects.

    Although the joining of these nine giant ships has enabled the Soviet navy to achieve leapfrog development, promoted the development of the Soviet shipbuilding industry and metallurgical industry, and made the Soviet Union a shipbuilding power, building such a huge warship is extremely expensive.  , which greatly consumed the Soviet people's already poor national power and placed a heavy burden on the national economy, especially reducing investment in light industry.

    Moreover, the various technologies surrounding the development of these warships were restricted by the Soviet industrial system and did not expand to related civilian fields in time. The construction of these warships allowed the Soviets to build warships. Although the level of building warships has developed rapidly, the construction of civilian ships has not  It is still lagging behind.

    The development of the entire Soviet national economy was delayed by ten years because of these giant ships that consumed astronomical amounts of money.?? Even in the end, these huge, but already backward, battleships not only became a heavy burden on the Soviet economy, but also on the Soviet Navy.

    But they were really reluctant to give up the Soviet Navy. After all, the number of large ships of the Soviet Navy was still relatively small until the second half of the 1980s, when the Soviet economy reached its peak and more funds could be invested in military spending.  rare.

    But if it stays, its huge hull will become a living target as precision-guided weapons are developing more and more rapidly, the combat range of aviation is getting farther and farther, and the range of anti-ship missiles is getting larger and larger.  time, and once these giant ships are launched, the cost of funds is an astronomical figure. The funds required for an overhaul are enough for the Soviet Navy to build a new destroyer.

    For the Soviet Navy, this amount of money was undoubtedly a heavy pressure even though the Soviet Union had always maintained priority and largess in military investment. It also directly affected the Soviet Navy's investment in other ship types. By the 1970s,  In the late 1990s, when the battleships of other countries had basically completed their decommissioning, the Soviet Navy, which could not bear it, finally decommissioned all battleships and sealed them.
