spn〖Japanese〗, Yokosuka Pier.

There were a lot more workers at the dock than two years ago, especially in 1935. The dock, which was originally a bit deserted due to the defeat of the country, began to recover some prosperity after 1934.

Many bankrupt businessmen and handicraftsmen began to go out to work, especially the residents near Yokosuka Pier, and every household went out to work as porters. The rest was to maintain the family handicraft workshops, and they were finally able to get some work, although they were only some basic processing for Chinese goods, although they were just some cheap basic processing or harmful work, as if they were used to transport them from China. The work of these family handicraft workshops was to recycle metal from the used TV and then transport it back to Fengguo.

Some sailors who were on the dock used only a little yen to drink drunk on the shore before they fell back to the boat.

"Baga, it was half a day late to dock this time. I could have found a woman to have fun. Now I'm going to get on the boat in half a day." A sailor held up the bottle of wine in his hand, holding it high, and couldn't pour out the wine. The economy was low. The seafarer profession, which used to be very profitable, has shrunk a lot now. He waved his hand and threw it hard, and the bottle fell into the sea.

"Who made the Chinese catch our evidence? They now occupy Ryukyu, and the navy is stronger than us." said the ship was loaded with smuggled goods.

If the boat is inspected, the shells will be fired and sunk. The damn boss "deducts his salary and deserves to be fined by the Chinese."

Another sailor drowned fiercely, looked at the other ships parked at the pier, and said enviously, "It would be great if the boss had a Chinese source of goods. Without smuggling like this, we can make more money,"

The ship where the two sailors were originally going to smuggle a batch of rice from China to Japan, but it was a busy man who had been secretly touched for half a month, and was stopped shortly after going out to sea.

"Yes, that guy Yoshida, their boss is in China. Every time he transports a ship of goods back from the Philippines, he can always sell them smoothly."

"Yes, the newspaper said that we imported iron ore from the Americans and then refined it into steel in the local area." Then we sold it to them at a cheaper price than the Chinese who refined it themselves. God knows that they need too much steel."

"The Great Japanese Empire" is not as good as yesterday, but damn it, I can finally blame some hope."

"Yes, I heard from some people in taverns say that the Chinese economy may drive the Japanese economy. Damn, who knows. However, in just two years, their port towns alone have changed their appearance every time they go, and they have developed very quickly..."

These crew members are "not well-educated, but they are all educated." Moreover, they go to more places, and they will understand more. The evaluation of current affairs and politics often has a unique perspective of the grassroots.

Several Japanese men in military uniforms next to them stopped hearing this. Two of the young naval officers even wanted to go up and teach these drunken drunks a lesson, but one of the leading officers stopped them with great majesty. "What they said was the facts. Let's go. "It's time to go to Tokyo."

No one knows. The man in the ordinary naval officer uniform is a current Japanese naval officer's official official. The former commander of Yokosuka Nagata is about to return to Tokyo to serve as the naval military senator.

Standing on the destroyer heading to Tokyo, Nagano looked at the Yokosuka Shipyard in the distance, where two old battleships were parked inside, full of brackets. That was the last major military port event he participated in when Yokosuka was the naval commander: transforming battleships and turning them into modified aircraft carriers like the Chinese.

He looked at the dismantled battleship again. "Naono Simplicity turned around and entered the destroyer, and ordered his way to Tokyo.

Empires need aircraft carriers. If you don’t have money to build, you can only destroy these battleships that were once regarded as imperial artifacts, and change them to aircraft carriers that do not even have a main gun.

The era of cannon warships is becoming a thing of the past.

In the Emperor Palace, Iroku Yamamoto had been waiting in the side hall for a long time, but he had not seen the Emperor summon him for a long time.

"Meet Chief Nagano!"

When Yamamoto Iroku saw that Nagano Cultivation had actually come to the palace, he was slightly stunned, and then stood up and saluted. Whether it was a military rank or a military position, Nagano Cultivation was higher than him.

The commander of Yokosuka Navy had just been promoted and was summoned by the Emperor. Yamamoto had a premonition that this person would become one of the real power figures of the imperial navy in the future. Not to mention that he had just been urgently promoted to the imperial general, and all signs indicate that the position of the Navy Minister was not far from him.

Think about myself, in the Sino-Japanese War, "in order to preserve the last major strength of the Japanese navy", after the aviation army was completely defeated, he almost escaped the catastrophe. If it weren't for the amount of fuel left by the Chinese ships and aircraft after the battle, he probably had both returned to Japan.

But no matter what, I was defeated. In the empire, I was not very popular.

Nagano Celestial walked to the front of the mountain itself, patted his shoulder, and said heavily: "Yamamoto, don't be too stressed, that battle "you are right."

Yamamoto was slightly moved. He knew very well that the naval upstart in front of him advocated the development of aviation troops, just like him. Although the empire has been defeated, it is not defeated by the battle fleet of the Chinese people, but by their aircraft carrier fleet. Although this is very sad, it also shows from the side that the theory that the two of them have adhered to over the years is correct.

"Master Nagano, this time I meet the Emperor, I will stick to my own opinions and suggest vigorously developing the naval aviation force." I hope you can get your support. Hayi!!" Yamamoto Iroku said with a bow down and bowed.

Soon, officials from the palace came out to summon him, and the two of them went in. When they arrived at Kikunoji Pavilion, they found that in addition to themselves, there were also political elders, Nishizoji, the chief official of the General Staff, Koiki Aki, and a second-in-command official from the economic department.

"I'm summoning you here today to ask about the next development direction of the Imperial Navy." The emperor was holding the Navy's Navy's Navy just handed over. A thick stack of naval development plans, which he had read before Nishinoji Temple came. "This plan will completely abandon the manufacturing of battleships and turn it into learning from the Chinese to build large aircraft carriers and at the same time build fast cruisers." For air defense, mine clearance, anti-submarine and other purposes. According to the intelligence of the Imperial agents, the Chinese are building large aircraft carriers of tens of thousands of tons in shipyards in the south. "Imperial, and some decision is needed."

In the plan, anti-submarine is the most important thing. Because the Chinese have not shown much submarine force from beginning to end. According to the development of Europe, the Japanese Navy believes that the focus of air defense is more important than anti-submarine. The new ships of the Empire should focus on aviation and air defense first, ensuring that they can cope with quite difficult air defense tasks in the future. After all, the Chinese have very advantages in naval ships and aircraft. They have spears. The empire should develop thick shields. As for anti-submarine, it is naturally not so urgent.

"Your Majesty, the results of the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle have proved that the Chinese have come to the forefront of the empire in terms of naval aviation. We must seize the time and concentrate our efforts to catch up with their pace." Yamamoto Iroyuki said, in his opinion, what the empire needs to do is to build aircraft carriers at a dazzling speed like the Chinese people.

"Naono, what about your opinion..." Both of them are in the naval system, and even both of them are involved in this naval development plan. However, Naono's view of self-cultivation is slightly different from the plan, "Your Majesty. I also agree with and actively support the development of the navy towards the naval aviation direction. However, if you do not consider the low-ranking military position, you are just an ordinary soldier, I think the views that some other people in the military department are also very reasonable."

"Are you talking about the views of Matsui Ishien and others?" The emperor acted slightly displeased, but he still asked what he meant.

However, "Naono cleverness knows that the Sino-Japanese armistice was in a truce, and Matsui Ishione and the military and political leaders behind him played a great role." The emperor should also have a certain tendency toward that development route. He said boldly: "The economic crisis of the empire has just improved." Both the army, the navy and the air force urgently need to develop. The national strength is limited. How to develop and focus, I think it should be based on actual needs.

If the empire persists in fighting the Chinese at sea for 10 years, then we should make every effort to build a navy. The result is that we may eventually defeat the Chinese navy, but we will also suffer heavy losses, while the land we need the most will be obtained. Because the weakening of the army and the air force will have extremely serious consequences. Even if we defeat them, we still need to face their millions of elite troops, and the navy will be out of reach.

If the empire insists on obtaining more territory and resources as its strategic goal, I believe that a defensive naval strategy should be adopted, mainly to build advanced large aircraft carriers and modify more aircraft carriers, and to develop a defensive navy.

Although I did not participate in the land war between China and Japan, I know that in terms of army construction, the Imperial Army has been completely behind in terms of individual weapons preparation, soldier training or armored forces. We are even much weaker than the Soviet Russian military power in the Far East.

Please ask His Majesty the Emperor to atone for what he will say next.

In the previous series of wars, the Empire achieved great results by defeating the strong with the weak, thus covering up the problems brought about by a series of military backwardness. The reality now is that not only the navy, but also the imperial navy in the entire East Asia is not as good as the Soviet Far East Fleet, but also the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet, while the army and the air force are also at a disadvantage..."

"But we have the warriors who are loyal to the emperor, and we have the spirit of attack!" The emperor almost roared and interrupted Nagano's slim words, but turned his eyes and waved his hand to signal him to continue.

Nagano cultivating himself and bowed, "This is exactly what the minister wants to say. It is precisely because of the spirit of loyalty to the emperor and fighting to the death that the empire can remain undefeated. In terms of weapons alone, the empire is no longer as good as the Soviet Union and China."

He knew that without saying that the Emperor would remember that the Chinese could fire individual rifles, scary heavy machine guns with high firing speeds, shoulder-mounted artillery that could fire individual guns. Although they only appeared two or three times, they attracted the attention of the empire. They could equip efficient individual fire spurts to battalion-level troops, advanced tanks that could not even be penetrated by 30 war defense guns. They were densely packed with scary heavy artillery groups, astonishing power of artillery explosions...

Although he was not an army general, he was also aware that although many of the advanced weapons of the Chinese did not play many roles on the battlefield, the Imperial ** team obviously became the whetstone of the Chinese. He firmly believed that once he met the Chinese again in the future, the Imperial ** team would definitely meet the advanced equipment that had already hunted on a large scale.

As a naval general, he should have fought for the navy indiscriminately, "fight for military spending and building more aircraft carriers, just like before."

However, as a rational emperor, the instinct of a soldier loyal to the emperor and martial arts told him that "once the empire has made every effort to develop the navy, it will inevitably be completely defeated by the Chinese. The empire has not had decades to accumulate strength, and the Chinese are becoming stronger day by day. On the other hand, if the minimum peace can be maintained and the empire can take advantage of the empire to occupy other countries and regions, with the empire's military capabilities, it will only take five years to completely recover. Based on the summary and reflection of the Sino-Japanese War, more advanced weapons have been developed.

And building a navy is just a cycle.

After a long time, after repeated arguments and statements by several people, the emperor seemed a little tired and waved his hand to signal them to retreat.

"You all go down and see you tomorrow."

Seeing a few people leaving, the emperor sighed: "Don't you want to defeat the Chinese at sea, but the empire no longer has the strength and time to establish a large navy back then. What the empire needs is rich resources and vast land. If the navy wins and the army loses, it can only maintain the status of the island country indefeat. How can you defeat the enemy?"

In the Sino-Japanese War, the army retreated step by step, but the navy's huge battleship formation was at sea. Once the war started, it was quickly defeated by the Chinese naval aviation force. This made Hirohito see a fact clearly that the Japanese army had already defeated the enemy simply by relying on the Bushido idea of ​​loyalty to the king.

Stand up and look at the moon outside the palace, and the emperor suddenly made a decision, "The empire must have a stronger army and air force." At least, it must be able to ensure its future advantage over the Soviet Union in the Far East. They are not Chinese. They are far away in Europe, and their Far East should be the natural farm of the empire!!"

"Minister Cai, Commander Deng, this large aircraft carrier can be used to move nearly one-third of our new China's skilled shipbuilders, using one-half of large and super-large take-off and landing equipment, and there are as many as a dozen construction plants specially built for it alone."

Matiwan Naval Base near Fangchenggang, Guangxi.

The Navy is definitely a gold-selling cave. Zhang Shusheng spent a lot of money in the southwest period. From purchasing equipment from outside and training workers at the beginning, to self-developing and self-made equipment, and training workers by himself, the military expenditure lost is already the number of today's literature.

Today, it has the most advanced shipbuilding equipment in China, the most modern shipyard, the most skilled shipbuilders, and two new China's largest military ships with a displacement of 40,000 tons.

The first ship to lay keels, which was the first to lay keels, began to be sold at the end of the year, and has been under construction for nearly four years.

It can be said that the Horsesiowan Naval Shipyard is not the most advanced in the world as a whole, but it must be working hard to develop to the most advanced. Many advanced machinery and shipbuilding technologies are not even foreigners. This is what the Southwest always does. It is better overall and particularly advanced in part.

Based on the existing three aircraft carriers, China's five-year aircraft carrier plan also includes two large aircraft carriers of 40,000 tons and two medium aircraft carriers of 20,000 tons, allowing China to maintain a medium-sized naval force of seven aircraft carriers around 1940. Although the number of aircraft carriers built by the lunatics in World War II is far inferior to that of the madmen, overall it is already sufficient for wars across Asia.

After all, in the early stages of the war, all the new China needs is to win an ocean facing any naval power, at best, the war on the Strait of Malacca, rather than provoking a world war and engaging in an arms race with the whole world at the beginning.

As long as the naval plan is implemented and the workers are trained enough, civil shipyards can quickly switch to warships during wartime. In addition, the crazy shipbuilding plan that will begin in 1940, China is not afraid of any enemy in the future World War II. Even if it encounters the crazy Americans on Earth, it can be just a brief summary. After all, China has a basic weakness, especially lacking experience in building large warships. Although it has a complete set of drawings and a considerable number of senior scientific personnel stationed in the factory for a long time, the progress is still slow. In four years, it has been exploring while improving.

"Four years are not short, but your worker training plan is very good." Cai Xiao nodded. These national defense plans were formulated in the southwest period. He, the Minister of Defense, was not a guide for the founding of the country, but more of it was the focus and supervision of the senior management.

Compared to the Navy Commander Lieutenant General Deng Haoqian, and the Base Commander Major General Xu Jinguang, Cai Shi, still clearly, he is an amateur, listen more and talk less, respond to the spirit of the chairman, and cannot fire up anti-aircraft cannons out of thin air to command blindly.

This is also a key point for senior officials of the Central Military and Political Department to go to the grassroots inspection. If you don’t understand, don’t direct and ask more questions. Look more and pay more attention. Praise what should be praised, and be alert when you should be alert.

The commander of the Horsestiwan Base and Rear General Xu Jinguang was about to explain, and the naval commander Deng Haoqian, who was standing by, said, "Yes, Minister Cai. Because of the instructions of the Chairman, we adopted the construction model with the highest labor cost from the beginning. The shipyard implemented a three-shift system and trained three sets of workers. Although we encountered many difficulties at the beginning, we encountered many difficulties, such as skilled workers being too tired and needing to lead shifts to ensure the quality of warship construction. In addition, labor cost is also very high, but we persisted. The advantage of this is that once wartime comes, we can fully start construction to build more warships.

At present, in addition to skilled and experienced workers, there are many technical school students who come to the factory to study. Their learning enthusiasm is very high. Many people can enter the shipyard to work in advance."

Accompanied by several base guards and central guards, Xu Jinguang accompanied Cai Guo to board the deck welding. The entire aircraft carrier could already see the large hull, the high bow, and the upper island was also built.

"At present, the main reason is that the work inside the warship and the deck has not been completed, and the rest of the lines has been laid. "Weapon installation will be even next year." Xu Jinguang, as the commander of the base, is almost at the shipyard. "For him, the most important thing now is the management and command base, these two aircraft carriers.

Standing on the aircraft carrier, "the ship that travels through edges and transports materials by the edges has become very small" several floors away from the water surface, which is very spectacular.

"Minister Cai, Commander Deng, look." The next one is the No. 2 ship, which has just completed the keel laying, but because we have accumulated enough experience and skilled workers in the production of No. 1 ship, "No. 2 ship will definitely be completed 40 years ago."

In the busy shipyard, there are workers wearing safety helmets everywhere, both men and women, most of them are younger. Cai Feng heard from Xu Jinguang that there are a considerable number of returning overseas Chinese here.

These overseas Chinese are also shipyard workers abroad, and are bullied by foreign shipyard owners. After the founding of New China, they responded to Shusheng Company's recruitment in various places, "returning to China to participate in shipyard work. It has to be said that perhaps their technology is somewhat different from the most advanced shipbuilding technology reserved in the Southwest period." But the advantage is that they are more skilled and have stronger learning ability.

Looking around, the No. 2 ship in the distance could only see some small figures.

Take the telescope from the guards. "Cai Guo then saw that there were more types of brackets in the dock of Ship 2. "Many steel bar supporters were like spiders weaving webs, and on the basis of keels, they began to build the frame structure of the warship.

"Can the problem of returning home to the country be solved? We must also pay attention to safety work." Cai Xian saw from the report that the shipyard has a very comprehensive plan for workers, and it is a complete social organization in terms of whether it is business, medical care, education, etc.

"Don't worry, whether it is a shipworker or a state-owned subsidiary, there are staff members of the security department to inspect it. Although the shipyards guarantee absolute confidentiality, they will not lose core technology, and all confidentiality work has been carried out with great results. Although some problems were found, they were dealt with in a timely manner. Some crisis handling plans and the security department has also conducted practical exercises. In this regard, our confidentiality work is done very well. After all, "Matiwan is a big base."

Xu Jinguang said it right. Matiwan is a large naval base in a small city. It has done a good job of militarizing management and confidentiality.

“Woo…”

At this time, the sound of whistles of large ships came from the distance from the military port. Cai E could clearly see that an aircraft carrier was returning to the port without a telescope.

"That is our USS China aircraft carrier. After the Hanjing was in service, it formed a special mixed fleet with the Chengdu." Wusong and Ningbo Military Ports, which are stationed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, remained in the southeast and were the main force of the South China Sea Fleet."

While speaking, many warships behind the aircraft carrier also came into view. They were cruisers of thousands of tons or smaller destroyers. "The main fleet of the South China Sea Fleet usually patrolls back and forth in Fangchenggang and Zhanjiang Military Port, Guangdong, and are not permanently stationed in one place." After all, both places have large secret radars. Compared with the British radars who are still in preliminary equipment, China's radar is much more advanced.

Cai Guo smiled at Deng Hao next to him and said, "Commander Deng, I really look forward to the days when these two aircraft carriers and two medium-sized guys from Jiangnan Shipyard were launched. At that time, "Your Navy has seven aircraft carriers."

"Don't worry, Minister Cai, the People's Army Navy will definitely use its strength and courage to defend the borders of the motherland."

Deng Haogan looked at the aircraft carrier fleet entering the port in the distance, and couldn't help but think, as if he saw a larger aircraft carrier fleet that officially formed a few years later.

〖China will "recreate the enemy fleet that Zheng He voyages to the West" that was shown to the world when he was in his voyage to the West. 〖China's fleet must be world-class. For this reason, both the navy and these workers are willing to work hard for ten, twenty or thirty years.
