After the war in the Yellow Sea, both the East and the West had lost all maritime forces. According to the view of maritime power theory, the current Sino-German alliance is no longer able to resist.

Since returning to Qingdao after the Battle of the South China Sea, Jin Batian has been living in busy official exchanges - battleships such as Yanshan cannot go to sea at will. Of course, the high supply is one aspect. Besides, these battleships were used in the decisive battle at sea, so where to fight whom now goes to sea? It’s no wonder that after the war, the victorious countries also sealed or demolished their ironclad ships.

The General Staff is planning to counterattack the European continent, but now there is still a half of the Korean Peninsula in the hands of the Japanese, which is obviously not at this time. There is also Ryukyu, which was stolen at the same time as North Korea and Taiwan. Those who came secretly from Ryukyu were crying and shouting in Nanjing, begging the government to send troops to recover Ryukyu. Although the principal also likes this tune, North Korea should still be the main one.

Currently, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Central Navy, Jin Batian's task is to allocate materials and decide that the ship will return to the factory for maintenance first. Before the Battle of the South China Sea with Britain, France and Italy, the Central Navy only repaired the main battleship, and many heavy cruisers actually took the battle with injuries. However, for the prosperity of the country, they did not take into account so much.

After a great battle with the Three Kingdoms maritime coalition, these battleships have certainly become injured again. Some seriously injured cruisers have almost lost their power and have to be dragged by friendly ships to return to Qingdao Naval Base. This heavy cruiser with a standard displacement of 13,000 tons and a full load displacement of 18,000 tons can now be repaired and maintained at the navy's newly built dry dock in Qingdao.

However, the best maintenance method is naturally sent back to the original factory for repair - it is the same as the new one after it comes out, and there is no trace of repair. In addition, in these two battles, more than 2,000 naval personnel were killed and more than 14,000 injured. Although this number is only a fraction of the navy's annihilation of the enemy - the Nanjing Central Navy's foundation is itself weak, and the reserve personnel are probably already on the ship.

The injured and seriously injured people made several ships unable to drive. Which ships needed to drive them, it would take Chen Shaokuan and Jin Batian to make a decision. At the same time, a group of people at the Nanjing General Staff Headquarters also believed that since the East and West navy was already weak, a group of warships might as well retire. As for the popular trend of intellectual youth in society to participate in the navy, they could first sit up from the trainees and increase talent reserves for the future of the navy.

Finally, after referring to the conditions of each ship, Chen Shaokuan and Jin Batian decided to retire the ten oldest and most injured heavy cruisers, who were the oldest and most injured, to their active service.

Destroyers are multi-functional ships, and there is nothing more. The first naval newcomers started training from destroyers. Battleships are the foundation of the country. When this moves, a large number of people will jump out of the way. There are only two aircraft carriers in total. If the organization is cancelled, they will be gone. Although Jin Batian doesn’t know how many years will the aircraft carrier develop due to this butterfly effect, in general, it is better to retain some training of aircraft carriers.

The Central Navy had a total of 70,000-ton heavy cruisers at this time, and it was nothing special to retire ten. As for the personnel on the original ships, all the personnel on the larger battleships were arranged to serve, and the positions of a few personnel who worked in destroyers and supply ships were also promoted.

In general, this plan is a result that most people can satisfy - of course, the captains of the ten heavy cruisers must be unsatisfied. However, the number of people was too small, and it stopped after a few days of trouble. Chen Shaokuan used his power to send these people to Lianyungang Naval Academy as instructors - and threw them directly into the Naval Reserve, so don't bother.

The ten most seriously injured ships retired were sold to Jin Batian's Nanyang Military Industry at a package price.

Send it to the Limin Shipbuilding Factory to demolish it? Don’t even think about it. Then it will really become scrap iron.

According to Jin Batian's idea, he would build a museum to place these ten ships for free for tourists to see, which is more valuable than demolishing and selling scrap steel.

However, there is no need to worry about building a museum. It is just ten years of nurturing trees and a hundred years of nurturing people. Jin Batian’s plan is to transform this ten thousand-ton heavy cruiser into an ocean cruise ship-or a teaching ship.

How to teach on the boat? It’s very simple. To convert some cabins into bedrooms or offices—most of which don’t need to be changed at all. To convert the bridge into classrooms, to remove most of the heavy firepower on the deck, and to lay soft plastic floors into playgrounds—Isn’t this school going to live together?

The ancients said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. There is no one who is famous for so many top scholars in the Ming Dynasty than Xu Xiake, a tourist with white body. It can be seen that the eight-legged essay really has no future.

The purpose of establishing this tourism teaching ship was to remember that due to the war of aggression in his previous life, the country carried out the largest retreat in the world. Tens of millions of people moved factories, schools, and all the materials they could use to Sichuan and Yunnan in the southwest. However, this situation made the academic environment extremely relaxed. In the whole 1930s and 1940s, a large number of master-level figures appeared in the country.

Several international students extracted penicillin, which was priced at gold in a simple laboratory, and coal-based oil technology and modified gas trucks were representatives of the black technology of that era. However, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, no new generation of masters appeared on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. As expected, sitting in the classroom to attend classes and then take the joint examination was also unpromising. Is the examination-oriented education? It has been criticized for many years.

But now the central government's army is winning streak on the battlefield. Could it be that students and professors from Peking, Tianjin, Shanghai and Nanjing will take another hike in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan - that's unreasonable.

This 10,000-ton tourism teaching ship was designed by Jin Batian and a way to make up for historical loopholes.

But if you think about it, it is equivalent to traveling around the world for public tourism - the cost cannot be too low. Fortunately, Jin Batian is very rich. After all, the people who can finally board this kind of tourism teaching boat to receive education are limited. In other words, they can only conduct elite education.

But then again, elite education is worse than letting those who have received higher education move bricks or make less money than those who have moved bricks - what is the meaning of higher education? Since you are destined to move bricks, it is better to exercise and read from a young age and then move bricks and make money.

Jin Batian sent a telegram to ask Cai Yuanpei and other seniors in the education industry for this matter. These people in the education industry are also very interested in this global teaching tourism ship, which will undoubtedly be an innovation in the education industry.

The most famous thinker, military strategist, philosopher, writer and educator, calligrapher Wang Yangming (Wang Shouren), the ideological proposition of unity of knowledge and action in the east of this world still influenced many predecessors - including Principal Jiang and 186. In Japan, there are many disciples, including Oe saint Nakae Fujiki, Restoration Sanjie Takamori, thinker educator Meiji Restoration, Yoshida Matsuyuki (this is the prototype of the mentor of Takasugi and others), the commander of the navy, Hirahachiro Togo, the founder of Mitsubishi chaebol, Eiichi Shibusawa, the father of Japanese capitalism, Takeo Hirose Hirose, writer Yukio Mishima and other loyal supporters.

Regarding the ratio of students to teachers, Cai Yuanpei and others also put forward their own opinions - each class should be limited to forty students. Based on the teaching experience summarized by everyone over the years of these education, once a teacher gives more than forty students, the effectiveness of the lecture will be greatly reduced - it doesn't matter if it is cramming or literacy education, but elite education naturally needs to pay more attention to this.

In this way, it is impossible to put a boat in a school. It is still possible to put up seven or eight classes in a grade level, at most ten classes - although the boat can hold more than a thousand people, there must be dozens of engine personnel. Although the sea has been much more stable than the Caribbean era these days, there are still pirates, which is why Jin Batian only dismantled most of the weapons. It is still necessary to attach more than a dozen security guards to these three or four hundred students and dozens of teachers.

During the transformation process, only 20 mm machine guns were left on the ship's weapons. This machine gun was finally fixed on the side of the ship and the direction was stuck - making it possible to shoot at the sea surface instead of on the deck. In this way, the pirates crawled onto the ship and snatched the operating position of the machine gun and could not attack the personnel on the deck.

These bridges were also converted into a large classroom and a dozen small classrooms. In addition to classes, small classrooms can also be used as laboratories. The large classrooms are naturally public classrooms or auditoriums. From the deck to the bridge and the cabins that make dormitories, they are wrapped in one inch to two inches thick soft plastic inside and outside. It is not a joke that all steel objects are bumped into each other. When the train first appeared, they also wanted to compete with the locomotive with the iron head, but they all ended up being tragic.

These ten retired heavy cruisers will be renovated after the Central Navy fleet has been repaired. The reason for not being in a hurry is that the war has not come to an end yet, and we have to wait until the war is over before the sea can stabilize.

Jin Batian knew about the agreement on the division of the world between the principal and Adolf. According to this treaty, Europe, West Asia, Africa belong to Germany. Most of Asia, including South Asia, Australia and New Zealand belong to the Nanjing government. Given that Britain has a large number of colonies in the Americas, which do not fall within the scope of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia (such as Canada, etc.) are one person and half of them - Antarctica is also handled accordingly. By the way, it is impossible to go there now.

Before the New Year at the end of December 1938, good news came from the army again. The Japanese on the Korean Peninsula were driven out of the water, and there was also a contribution from the Navy. In order to deal with some small Japanese fortresses, Chen Shaokuan led the main force of the fleet to bombard the sea with naval guns for half a month. This half month of naval gun artillery bombardment also knocked out the last trace of courage of the Japanese, which also proved that the flesh and blood body and the permanent fortifications on the ground were far from comparable to the over tons of high-explosive shells.

After defeating the main force of the fleet from the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, that is, the East and West, the Central Navy finally began to show his domineering spirit. He publicly intercepted merchant ships from various countries on the overseas seas of Japan. Anyone who was determined to have transported military supplies to Japan would be seized with the ship and the people.

Before the destruction of the joint fleet, the Japanese exchanged them for a large amount of money. Considering the unstable currency value of various countries during the war, the Japanese must have required the settlement of precious metals such as gold and silver. In the end, the money was settled back, but now the Japanese discovered something that the gold and silver shine brightly and silver is beautiful, but it is useless to buy food, steel, rubber, oil and other materials.

Sitting on the Golden Mountain to starve is the best description of the Japanese now. However, before attacking the Japanese island, the Nanjing government decided to recover Ryukyu first. Do you have to eat it at a bite. The principal agreed to recover Ryukyu after the Korean War when the Ryukyu people came to Nanjing to petition. It is difficult to take back this sentence now.

Furthermore, the commander who attacked the main island of Japan was not selected, and it was a big deal to put the red flag on Mount Fuji. In terms of the current state of the Japanese, anyone who went to the scene was always fucked, but this person was likely to become the candidate for the next leader of the country with this contribution and reputation.

So, it is not that simple to plant a flag.

Jin Batian inquired about some inside information - because he was not from Huangpu, Jin Batian himself had no chance - the principal wanted to pass the throne to his students. Zhang Zhizhong, Xu Tingyao and others who were very popular also had no chance, because they were peers of the principal and one of the founders of Huangpu. Of course, they were looking for young people to find people of the same age as the principal, and what was the case with them.

In this way, the scope is much smaller. Guan Linzheng, a student of the first class of Huangpu, has been fighting directly with the Japanese and Tsarist Russians in the north during the War of Resistance Against Japan, has now been promoted to the position of commander of the reorganized 17th Army who has completed armored dressing. If he takes over the main island of Japan, with this reputation, he will take up the position of military commander-in-chief of the Army after the principal, and will be regarded as the president of the Army University.

Although it doesn't matter to Jin Batian who is the position of military chairman, it's better to be an acquaintance.

Jin Batian has already established himself in the navy and is preparing to take over as commander-in-chief of the navy after Chen Shaokuan - if you don't give me the supply of refined oil and ships, it's not too much to reward the commander-in-chief of the navy after he has made so many contributions to the country and nation. Finally, he will embark on the path of One Piece of the universe - your goal is more than the one from the Night Rabbit Clan.

In order to recover Ryukyu, Jin Batian led the Qingdao squadron's six main battleships, using the Yanshan as the flagship to cover the army's landing in Ryukyu for combat.

The Ryukyu Kingdom itself is a Ryukyu Islands composed of multiple islands. The Ryukyu Kingdom itself is a vassal state of China since ancient times - just like North Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, and Philippines. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the devas directly occupied the Japanese due to the decline in national strength, and Okinawa Prefecture was set up here. However, the current Nanjing government no longer recognizes the bad debt left by the Qing court. In early 1939, the Nanjing government directly declared that Ryukyu was an inseparable part of the country.

Landing and fighting is also a very test of the troops. However, now that the Central Army is strong and the Japanese army stationed in Ryukyu is weak, it is easy to bully them.

The essence of Ryukyu is in its southern Naha, so it is unwise to directly attack here. After Jin Batian's naval fleet led by him swept around the nearby waters, he sank all the menstrual flags of several islands, regardless of their size, and then sent hundreds of naval soldiers to occupy Yongliang's island with small boats. There was only one team of Japanese devils on the island, and they had to fight for a few minutes. Under the smoke of the guided naval guns, they turned into gray.

After the island was temporarily safe, the transport ships and the towed landing craft also brought engineering personnel and supplies to the island, preparing to build a temporary airport here. As for the personnel on the island, let them help build the airport, and food here is for food - if you don't come, you must be the Japanese loyalist, and you'll die.

After looking for the locals and asking about the situation at Ryukyu, I found out that although the Japanese had strengthened their defense in Ryukyu, in the end, because the waterway was cut off, the Japanese soldiers were only one dissatisfied division, which was about the same as a mixed brigade. As the war became more and more unfavorable to the Japanese, the Japanese base camp had actually given up here, and only a few Japanese officers were still thinking of dying for their country, but the soldiers below were fluctuating and they had a tendency to gradually lose control.

This dissatisfied Japanese division now often has soldiers who are abandoned - and even serve as son-in-laws for local residents. For most people, living is the most important thing. It seems that the imperial education in the Japanese is still not thorough enough.

After receiving this news, Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 40th Division, was much more relieved. The Japanese nowadays are no longer the group of Japanese soldiers who dared to jump into Shanxi, Shaanxi and conduct a decisive battle. Many of those Japanese soldiers were dead tough guys, but they ended up fulfilling their wish to go to Jiuduanban - it was just that many people who were lonely ghosts were probably still so far away.

Then many landing craft were towed here. For the safety of the nearby routes, the Marine Corps captured Ihiraya Island not far away - there was a lighthouse here, and a squad of Japanese soldiers were stationed.

Because he did not want to destroy the lighthouse, the naval gun did not appear, and this small-scale battle seemed even more intense. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers guarding the lighthouse here tried their best to pull the big boots to shoot, but fell one after another under the automatic and semi-automatic weapons of the Marine Corps. It has been said that pulling the big boots is out of date, and the Japanese just don't believe it.

The 40th Division, which recovered Ryukyu, took a week to transport personnel and supplies, and built a simple airport on Yongliang's island within half a month. After making all preparations, Zhang Lingfu began to command the troops to fight the island landing against Naha.

Although the Japanese on Naha Island have made countless preparations and deductions in the past few years, they are the world of the Central Army in the air and at sea. Although one division is against a division, the Japanese cannon bullets are knocked out a little, and the personnel cannot replenish them. Zhang Lingfu not only has artillery bombing support from the navy and the air force, but the supply level of both sides is not on the same line at all.
