    From the second half of 2028 to the beginning of 2029, China's new warships were like dumplings, and a large number of warships were launched in shipyards in the north and south.  This is also the harvest period of the entire First Five-Year Plan, with new ships launched almost every month.  From destroyers, frigates, to light and heavy cruisers, large oil ships, and supply ships, they are all constantly emerging.  The original Fengtian aircraft carrier battle group has also been completely replenished. Photos of the huge fleet were published in the pictorial. In an instant, fans across the country rushed to buy it. Countless young people were excited by these warships.  By the beginning of 1929, this feast finally reached its climax. The first self-built aircraft carrier Jiangsu was launched, and the second Heilongjiang also entered the final stage. Suddenly everyone's attention was attracted to the Dalian Shipyard.  Before the modification of Fengtian was completed, the military had already started the design work of a new aircraft carrier. As China's first-generation self-designed aircraft carrier, everything was based on safety, so it did not use too large a tonnage. After the final construction was completed, the standard  It has a displacement of 21,000 tons, a full load displacement of 26,700 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, and can carry 70 combat aircraft, with a maximum wartime carrying capacity of 90 aircraft.  Counting from the cutting of the first steel plate, it took 3 years. Finally, in January 1929, this warship carrying the Chinese people¡¯s maritime dream was officially launched. It also became China¡¯s first large-scale battleship built entirely independently.  In order to witness the launch of the new aircraft carrier, all the main leaders of the military, including Zhang Tinglan, were present.  The aircraft carriers are named after provinces, basically one in the south and one in the north. The first one was Fengtian, with a hull number of 15, and this one was called Jiangsu, with a hull number of 17.  When the warship successfully floated.  When the majestic giant ship was displayed in front of everyone, everyone couldn't help but cheer. People involved in the construction of this aircraft carrier, including Wu Yulin, couldn't help crying.  People in their thirties, forties, or even forties and fifties were like children, with smiles on their faces, but tears could not help falling in their eyes.  For a thousand days and nights, they poured their efforts into this warship and watched the Jiangsu being launched.  It was as if his child was finally born, and all the hard work was worth it.  ¡°The reporters present also used their cameras to record the moment when the aircraft carrier was launched. In the past few years, the Fengtian has frequently performed various missions.  Chinese people are extremely obsessed with aircraft carriers, especially looking forward to the emergence of an aircraft carrier with complete Chinese origin.  A few years ago.  To build an aircraft carrier.  Zhang Tinglan also issued bonds specifically, and the bonds were sold out within one day.  Many people shred the bonds directly after buying them!  For these people, being able to see the aircraft carrier launch is the greatest happiness and comfort.  The significance of an aircraft carrier is extraordinary. It is a reflection of a country¡¯s industrial capabilities.  Only when comprehensive national strength is achieved and the industrial system is mature can this most luxurious maritime combat platform be created.  ?Look around the world and see the countries equipped with aircraft carriers.  Apart from China, there are only three countries, namely the United States, Britain and Japan.  As for France and Italy, although they also received shares in building aircraft carriers at the Washington Conference, they did not actually build aircraft carriers.  As for Germany and Russia, the aircraft carrier is still far away. With the launch of the Jiangsu, there is no doubt that China will suddenly squeeze into the world's top power club.  Therefore, when the Jiangsu was officially launched, Jiang Baili said with a smile: "I have to say, from now on we are also a great power!" Navy Commander Shen Honglie even laughed and said: "Chief of Staff, you said our warships  When we go to foreign countries, will there be a group of people who raise their banners to oppose Chinese imperialism? " "Yes, of course they will!" Yang Yuting said with the same spirit, "If that day comes, our generation's work will not be in vain.  , Even if we are under the influence of Jiuquan, we can straighten our chests. We have snatched back the lost national destiny. " Zhang Tinglan also smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with imperialism. At least bullying others is better.  It¡¯s good to be bullied. But once our aircraft carrier is launched, the second one will be launched soon, and the world will not be peaceful.¡± As Zhang Tinglan said, China is not a party to the Washington Conference, so naval arms restrictions have no effect on China.  any effect.  At this time, China has gone all out to develop its navy, which is a huge stimulus to various countries.  The first one to bear the brunt is Japan. In fact, since the Fengtian was launched, the whole country has been in panic. Officials of the Navy Department are studying how to deal with the Fengtian every day.  Just like the plan to sink the Zhenyuan, a large ship aroused the fear of the Japanese.  The Japanese took the road to sea power by defeating the Beiyang Fleet, and when China took the road to sea power, the first sacrifice should be the combined fleet.  And what makes Japan even more frightened is ChinaThe choice of warships, while other countries were still immersed in big guns and giant ships, China resolutely embarked on the road of aircraft carriers.  Does aircraft carrier have an advantage over battleship? Has China discovered some secret?  In the past few years, the power of the aircraft carrier faction in Japan has expanded rapidly, especially naval officers represented by Yamamoto Isoroku. They have repeatedly advised Japan's top officials, hoping that Japan will attach importance to aircraft carriers and develop naval aviation.  They even asked the Navy to conduct simulations to see whether aircraft carriers or battleships have the advantage.  Of course, the Japanese government still has a group of people who are stubborn about the past and are unwilling to acknowledge the new trend.  In fact, it¡¯s not their fault. These people have been studying battleships all their lives. If someone tells them that the status of battleships has been challenged, these people will definitely not be able to stand it.  But with the launch of the Jiangsu ship, Japan has to face up to this problem. Currently, Japan has the Hosho light aircraft carrier and two modified aircraft carriers, the Kaga and Tosa, for a total of three.  However, when China's two new aircraft carriers were launched, Japan's advantage disappeared in an instant. Compared with the three large aircraft carriers, two large and one small, they were still at a disadvantage. This made it increasingly unbearable for the Japanese monarchs and ministers. Japan faced Washington.  The treaty has also been questioned.  The United States and Britain are also restless, and they are also eager to find out China's plans.  It even requires China to join an arms limitation treaty.  But Zhang Tinglan didn¡¯t care at all about these noises. He summoned the top brass of the navy and shipyard to discuss the next naval development plan.  Zhang Tinglan said directly to everyone: "We must have a clear vision in developing the navy. The navy is to ensure the security of maritime borders and the smooth flow of South China Sea routes. Three aircraft carriers are the minimum, and five aircraft carriers can basically meet the needs. In the next ten years,  By fifteen years, it is best to have 9 to 10 aircraft carriers. We will not only protect the South China Sea routes, but also extend to Malacca and even the Indian Ocean. Therefore, we will not engage in an arms race, but no one can stop us from strengthening our military.  "Pace." Zhang Tinglan's words immediately aroused warm applause from everyone present. These words touched everyone's hearts. The navy is the guardian of maritime interests. As China's national strength becomes stronger, the navy must also have a corresponding status. This is  No force can stop it.  With Zhang Tinglan¡¯s guarantee, there is no doubt that the development path of aircraft carriers will be completely smooth.  Wu Yulin also smiled and took out a drawing and sent it to Zhang Tinglan.  "President, Jiangsu and Heilongjiang are the first-generation aircraft carriers we designed. We adopted the idea of ??focused protection and installed a large number of anti-aircraft weapons on the aircraft carriers, including 30 40mm anti-aircraft guns and as many as 60 20mm anti-aircraft guns.  The tonnage of the next-level aircraft carrier will be increased to 30,000 tons, with a full load of more than 37,000 tons, which is basically the same as the Fengtian. " Wu Yulin sent the new plan to Zhang Tinglan. The new aircraft carrier is an enlarged deck of the Jiangsu by 270.  meters, extending to 303 meters, the number of carrier-based aircraft has also increased to 90, and aviation weapons have also been increased.  And considering that the aircraft may be larger in the future, enough space has been lost in the hangar. At the same time, great efforts have been made in the damage control part. The protective armor is thicker, basically reaching the standard of a heavy cruiser. In addition, more armor has been installed.  Many watertight compartments.  Moreover, due to the adoption of newer power equipment, the ship island was made smaller and placed at the right rear, giving the aircraft carrier a broader view and better take-off and landing space.  After listening to Wu Yulin's introduction, Zhang Tinglan nodded frequently: "In the next three years, these two aircraft carriers will be completed, and two battleships will also be completed. The shipyard's task is not light." "No matter how heavy it is, we can bear it.  !" Wu Yulin said with conviction.  In addition to building new ships, the Navy¡¯s most important task is to seize orders from Chile. The shipyard has selected representatives and is making final plans.  In March, the Heilongjiang ship with hull number 19 was finally launched. However, on the same day, a welder named Zheng Yuchen fell to his job after completing the last weld and became the sixth ship.  A worker who died in the line of duty.  After hearing the news of his death, the entire top management of the shipyard was shocked, and the news was even sent directly to Zhang Tinglan.  Zheng Yuchen was one of the shipbuilding technicians who returned from Japan in 23 years. At that time, China used a lot of Japanese spies to successfully exchange these workers and save them from the suffering of the Great Kanto Earthquake.  After returning to China, these workers also worked extremely hard and spent almost all their time on work. As the best welder among this group of workers, Zheng Yuchen even participated in the modification of the Fengtian and the construction of the Heilongjiang.  For nearly six years, he gave up almost all holidays. Even if he occasionally had free time, he spent it teaching his apprentices.    He was the one who completed the last weld before the Heilongjiang was launched into the water. Wu Yulin also knew very well that he was a very hardworking and technically skilled worker in this job.  He wrote in his report to Zhang Tinglan: Zheng Yuchen often said that wanderers drifting overseas carry original sin with them, and he worked for Japan's military industry, which made his sin even more sinful.  Only the hardest work can make up for mistakes.  He often taught his apprentices that goods are as good as their character. Their work may seem ordinary, but it is related to the victory of naval battles and the destiny of a country.
