Text Chapter 206 Naval Situation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In recent years, while the federal army has become stronger, the navy has also continued to develop.  During the war against Britain, the navy was very aggrieved. The two deputy commanders of the navy, Chen Ce and Wang Yanmeng, joined forces with all the navy captains to silence themselves, write letters in blood, and meet in person to express the navy's desire to participate in the war many times.  Naval officers said they could not accept the humiliation of being blocked in the port and they did not want the navy to be laughed at.  Chen Ce is the deputy commander of the Navy who specifically implements military training and operations, while Wang Yanmeng is the deputy commander of the navy who is in charge of military academies, officer training and logistics construction. The commander-in-chief is still Zhao Zeyong.  Zhao Zeyong met with Chen Ce and others and asked them about their certainty of defeating the British fleet. Chen Ce said that he was 20% certain, but said that even if the remaining coalition forces failed, they would inflict heavy losses on the British.  However, what Zhao Zeyong wanted was not to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but to win, and he spent a huge amount of money. After so many years of development, he could never allow his navy to fight with dignity, inflict heavy damage to the enemy, and then disappear on the sea.  .  Therefore, when the British blocked Qinzhou, it was impossible for Zhao Zeyong to allow the navy to participate in the war. When the Italians came to China, it was impossible to allow the navy to participate in the war. When the Japanese first arrived in Shandong, it was impossible to allow the navy to participate in the war. But now more than half a year has passed.  Now, Zhao Zeyong felt that it was time for the navy to be dispatched.  It was not because of the request of Chen Ce and others to fight, but because of the continued strength of the navy that Zhao Zeyong saw hope.  The navy has always been very hard-trained in training, and officers at all levels are also very responsible.  Needless to say, Chen Ce focuses on training.  Each warship's training plan is fully booked, even during the blockade by the British.  They did not stop practicing. Instead, they took advantage of the British blockade and organized breakthrough training more than once.  Moreover, due to the British blockade, the navy suffered huge humiliation, and training was even more life-threatening.  The 500 pilots on the seven aircraft carriers conducted flight training every day. Most of them also participated in the bombing of British ships in the Yangtze River and gained practical experience.  And Wang Yanmeng is not idle.  A large number of naval cadets have been recruited and continuously sent into the navy. The current situation of naval officers is no worse than that of the army, although they were established in a shorter period of time.  After these officers entered the navy, it took just a few years from the internship.  But the amount of training is comparable to that of the Western Navy for more than ten years, and he soon matured and took on the important task of commanding the navy.  But what really makes Zhao Zeyong feel that his navy can fight is the upgrading of weapons and equipment. Originally, the equipment of the remaining coalition forces was very advanced, especially aircraft.  It is even better than the others, but its level of advancement is limited, that is, to the extent that a mature monoplane can compete with a biplane. Air combat can gain an advantage, but it is not an absolute advantage.  Ten provincial aircraft would be completely victorious against fourteen or five British aircraft, but there would be a risk of defeat against twenty.  But in the battle against Britain.  About a year and a half ago, Dassault and the others started producing a new aircraft. This is almost a second-generation monoplane all-metal fighter developed by the province. The aircraft engine is more powerful, the fighter is faster, the firepower is more powerful, and the bomber is more flexible.  The performance is more stable and the bomb load capacity is larger.  After more than a year of full-scale production, the remaining Allied Forces were equipped with more than 300 new aircraft. The performance of this aircraft has been tested through exercises. One aircraft can basically compete with three contemporary Western biplanes.  Having the ability to fight a thousand Japanese planes gave Zhao Zeyong confidence.  Zhao Zeyong has already asked the navy to formulate a combat plan, requiring the navy to destroy the Japanese navy that invaded Shandong, so as to prepare for the recovery of Qingdao. This requires the navy to not only destroy the Japanese naval fleet in Shandong, but also to guard against Japanese counterattacks in Qingdao.  In addition to the development of the navy, the warship manufacturing capabilities of the federal provinces have also developed rapidly in recent years.  Although the German technicians left, the Chinese technicians who took over withstood the pressure and supported the operation of the shipyard. Their technical capabilities were greatly improved during the war, and now they have fully mastered the ability to manufacture 30,000-ton ships.  There is no problem in producing warships.  But a single warship has never been produced. First, due to the size of the remaining coalition forces, there is no need to add new warships. The existing warships are enough to meet the requirements. Second, the production of civilian ships at this stage occupies a large amount of shipbuilding capacity.  The development of maritime transport was finally on the right track. Originally, the British blockade had a severe impact on the private transportation industry that had just developed in Qinzhou and Beihai. However, after the British withdrew from the blockade, Qinzhou quickly recovered with the strong support of the federal provinces.  operations, and due to its control of customs, exports increased significantly.  The two ports of Qinzhou and Beihai quickly regained their vitality. Ships of all sizes gathered here, and the ship merchants who had made money also entered the time of upgrading. Wooden ships were replaced by iron ships, and small ships were replaced by large ships.  The new technology promoted by Qinzhou Shipyard was gradually accepted. After years of hard work, Tao Jingwei and others finally designed a container ship. After experiments, they formed a system with containers, ports, and railways, and formulated a strict system.  Standards, from manufacturing to transportation, there are standard controls.    After testing this container system, it has been promoted in the provinces. Guangxi and Yunnan have begun to use this system on a large scale. Through ships, ports, railways and finally factories, this system has fully demonstrated its high efficiency and is very  It is welcomed by enterprises in various industries that develop their own industries more quickly.  In mid-December 1927, Zhao Zeyong simply came to Qinzhou Port. He wanted to participate in the launching ceremony of the latest container ship. This was a 50,000-ton container ship and the largest ship built by the province in recent years.  The huge hull and flat deck make it look like an aircraft carrier.  "How about the Warlord? In fact, our technicians can already produce any type of ship under 50,000 tons. It is not difficult to build a 30,000-ton warship. We are designing and manufacturing a new generation of aircraft carriers with a tonnage of 30,000 tons."  Tao Jingwei showed off to Zhao Zeyong.  When Zhao Zeyong mentioned aircraft carriers, he thought of the aircraft carrier they first built, that nondescript aircraft carrier with fully armored decks.  An aircraft carrier that is too slow to keep up with the fleet will eventually be reduced to a training ship.  "A 30,000-ton aircraft carrier. By the way, where can I give you something?" Zhao Zeyong thought of his Nimitz aircraft carrier model. Although it is just a model and only its appearance can be used as a reference, there is still something worth learning, especially  It's the angled deck. The design of two flight decks with different angles allows takeoff and landing to be carried out at the same time.  Unlike the current direct access to the deck, when taking off, you cannot land. When landing, you can only send all the aircraft on the deck to take off into the hangar, which is very inefficient.  "Hey, is that the aircraft carrier on your table?" Tao Jingwei asked maliciously.  "Yes. How come you have seen it before?" "When you came back from the front line last year, I saw it when I went to your office to report to you on the expansion of the Chengdu Arsenal. I thought the model was not very good at the time, but I thought about it after I came back.  Mysterious, so I just, hey." Zhao Zeyong suddenly felt bad: "What's wrong with you?" "I invited your aircraft carrier model to the shipyard. This model is really a genius design. Could it be that the ship design capabilities of our secret research institute have already been improved.  Is it better than the shipyard?" "Well, it's not that strong. It's just that they got an inspiration by chance, and they don't know if it's feasible." Zhao Zeyong said, what a secret research institute.  This is something I brought directly from modern times.  Tao Jingwei nodded fiercely and said: "It is feasible, very feasible. We have organized experiments. We also conducted modification experiments on an aircraft carrier and found that if there is a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier, this kind of angled deck is very suitable.  It¡¯s enough to support simultaneous takeoff and landing. It¡¯s just that the catapult on your model is a secret technology invented by the British. We haven¡¯t researched it yet, so I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be able to install it, but it will still be fine for taking off ordinary naval aircraft.¡± Zhao Zeyong.  Nodding, catapults are used to take off large aircraft, especially in the rapid development of the jet age.  "So your newly designed aircraft uses this technology?" "That's right, originally our design was finalized. For this change, we redesigned it again. This time the design is definitely 100% correct.  Perfect." "When can it be made?" "If you agree to make it now, it will definitely be delivered to the navy before October next year." Zhao Zeyong nodded: "Okay, let's produce it now. When it is launched, we will attack Japan.  " Tao Jingwei nodded excitedly. He had high hopes for this warship, which he had put a lot of effort into and re-learned shipbuilding knowledge. A lot of his own industrial design ideas were applied to it. He wanted to see it.  To get validation of your thoughts.  Soon Zhao Zeyong went to the naval headquarters.  The naval staff officers have not yet formulated a mature combat plan against Japan. Everyone is frowning and their expressions are not good. It seems that they have stayed up late these days.  "Overseer!" As he entered the headquarters, all the officers stood up and saluted.  After Zhao Zeyong returned the gift, he began to ask about the situation.  The difficulty of the problem is how to defend against the crazy counterattack of the Japanese navy after the Allied Provincial Army occupied Qingdao.  Attacking a few Japanese second-class warships anchored in Qingdao is not difficult, but facing the entire Japanese fleet and winning is probably not easy.  Chen Ce said that after deduction, after the remaining coalition forces are dispatched, it only takes half a day to destroy the Japanese Qingdao fleet through a surprise attack. However, if the surprise attack is discovered, the results will be greatly reduced and the Japanese fleet may be allowed to escape.  Then a serious battle with the Japanese navy will result in huge sacrifices. Unless the entire Japanese fleet is parked in Qingdao, waiting for them to attack and maybe win, the risk of the remaining Allied forces being destroyed is more than 60%.    Sneak attack? Suddenly Zhao Zeyong had an idea in his mind. He thought of the Pearl Harbor incident. The Japanese sneak attack almost destroyed the U.S. Pacific Fleet.  Maybe we can really use a sneak attack. Suddenly, Zhao Zeyong's mind flashed. The container ship he just saw at the port impressed him deeply. How did the flat deck for loading containers look? He thought about the aircraft carrier deck. Maybe it could be modified soon.  Used as an aircraft carrier.  Container ships can be converted into aircraft carriers, why can¡¯t aircraft carriers be converted into containers? Container ships are converted into aircraft carriers to cope with emergencies, while aircraft carriers are converted into container ships as a good disguise.  The plans in Zhao Zeyong¡¯s mind are getting more and more detailed.  Finally, he asked: "Does our container ship have a route connecting Japan?" As the commander of the navy, Chen Ce still knew about these situations.  "There is no long-term route yet. We have business with the Japanese shipping company. They are also very interested in this kind of container ship. We often have some experimental transportation." "Experimental transportation? Several ships at a time.  "Sometimes there are more, sometimes there are less, but now there are more and more, up to ten ships at a time?" "That's enough," Zhao Zeyong said.  Camouflage - sneak attack - heavy damage, a line has been formed in Zhao Zeyong's mind. He immediately found the staff officers and asked them to formulate a new plan in detail. This time Zhao Zeyong will not only attack Qingdao, this time he will directly attack the Japanese mainland, especially  It is the port where Japanese Navy warships dock, and it is necessary to severely damage the Japanese Navy's main fleet at once.  ps: My buddy has already taken a vacation today. He should be in the car now. He won¡¯t get home until tomorrow. It¡¯s really not easy to keep going.  I don¡¯t know if Qidian¡¯s double monthly pass is available.  Everyone understands what I mean, hoho.
