Chapter 85: On the Navy
"Uncle, you came to Mingzhu this time to see us for a special trip, right?"
After pouring the cup of tea for Xue Anyuan, Xue Laosan tilted on the chair, crossed his feet and pressed against Lao Huai, with a very leisurely expression.
Xue Anyuan quipped and said with a smile: "What's the good thing about you guys? I'll take a look at my good girl!"
Xue Laosan said: "That's the way, there must be some serious matters. If I'm not wrong, you are here for the East China Sea Fleet, right?"
Xue Anyuan knew that this nephew was extremely wise, so he was too lazy to ask him how he learned it. He nodded with a smile and directly revealed the cause and effect.
It turns out that it is related to the negotiations between Hong Kong Island. Although the Central Committee and Hong Kong and the British have negotiated several times and signed many so-called agreements, the strategy of war is to be invincible first, and to wait for the enemy to win. The opportunity for victory and defeat is always in your own hands. In short, a blacksmith must be self-hard.
Our army's land warfare is invincible, and its shortcomings are still in the weak navy for a century. It coincides with this Hong Kong Island battle, and the military's attention naturally shifted to the navy.
Xue Anyuan is in charge of the Ministry of National Defense and also leads military innovation. This plan to revitalize coastal defense naturally falls into his hands. He is here at Mingzhu this time to inspect the East China Sea Fleet, and the transfer of the vanguard Dinghuang for several months is also preparing for today.
"To build an aircraft carrier?"
Xue Laosanmi suddenly made a sip of tea.
clang!
Xue Anyuan reached out to him, "How can you joke around with national affairs?"
Xue Xiang curled his lips, "If you want me to say, it's better not to make trouble. No matter what, Hong Kong Island will come this time, those small cruisers and sea defense ships. It's almost enough for us now. Let's train naval officers first, especially aircraft carrier air force!"
Xue Xiang's previous words were naturally a joke. He didn't know that it was almost impossible for the current republic to build an aircraft carrier, let alone the present. Even thirty years later, the republic had just had an aircraft carrier, and it was still a long time to buy foreign goods. It was still a long time to achieve its own manufacturing.
In fact, even if you can buy aircraft carriers in China at this time, I am afraid that the huge amount of maintenance and maintenance funds will not be able to bear the current Republic.
But since aircraft carriers are like myths to the current republic, why did Xue Xiang advise to train aircraft carrier aviation? Of course, when it comes to this, it is important to mention that aircraft carrier aviation is different from the ordinary air force. Because the area of aircraft carriers is relatively small in comparison with the area of land aprons, and an aircraft carrier usually has dozens of aircraft. Takeoff, landing, and shutdown have extremely strict and precise requirements. This kind of training of high-end pilots is naturally not a matter of a matter of a day or a night.
In addition, at this time, there was no formal naval officer school in China, and even the later Bengbu naval officer school would not start construction four years later. The strength and creation of the navy were by no means just as many aircraft carrier battle groups. The leader said it well that the most critical factor in war was people, and the same was true for the prosperous navy.
The reason why Xue Xiang advised Xue Anyuan not to build more small ships was because no matter how many small ships there were, it would be difficult to form strategic advantages. The existing two small fleets were enough to protect their homes. After all, there would be no major battles against the outside world in the next few decades. It would be easier to save some, and the right way to use good steel on the blade.
Xue Anyuan pondered for a while and sighed, "You guys are first-class in this mouth. You just think that all the dukes of the Dao are fools. You still have to build a small ship. If you don't build it, can you let the remaining shipyards be abandoned? The shipbuilding technology still needs to be improved in practice. It's not a solution for old buying."
After Xue Anyuan said that, Xue Xiang was silent because he knew that his uncle was talking about the right reason. Isn’t the machinery manufacturing industry in later Republics just broken down under the bureaucratic thinking of “It’s better to imitate than to imitate, and it’s better to buy than to imitate”?
Seeing that his nephew was silent, Xue Anyuan said, "You guy told me about the establishment of the Naval Officer's School. I reminded me of this matter. I will report it to the Military Commission for a good discussion. In short, you have to eat in one bite. Take your time. The navy's strength is not something that takes a day or a night."
Xue Xiang nodded and ended the topic. Then, he asked about the situation of Kang Tong, Li Hongjun, Liu Yuanchao, Sun Qianjin and others.
If these guys entered Lingnan, they had entered their own territory. It was easy to contact each other frequently. However, these guys had never called each other once when they entered Lingnan. When Xue Xiangde saw Kang Tong, he shouted from afar in the helicopter when he was arresting the Korean fraudster Park Sung-sung in Xiaoshan.
The other Li Hongjun and others were even gone. Even the critical moment of his third brother Xue’s wedding, there was no news about these guys. This time, when Xue Anyuan met, Xue Xiang naturally had to ask about it.
Xue Anyuan said: "All of them are good. Anyway, they look better than you. If you ask you to join the army, you will not join the army. If you don't go into the blood and get three times in your fire, is that a good man?"
Xue Anyuan said nothing, but instead expressed his obsession in his heart. He felt regretful because Xue Xiang had never joined the army. After all, the Xue family from his generation was considered a family of generals. Xue Anyuan's three brothers joined the army, and even Xue Xiang's deceased father Xue Dingyuan also participated in the career after the Korean War. But it was Xue Xiang's turn that no one joined the army, so naturally, he could not help but regret it.
After hearing what Xue Anyuan said, Xue Xiang would not learn from the famous prime minister Han Qi and the famous general Di Qing in the Northern Song Dynasty. He said, "The person who wears flowers outside Donghua Gate is a good man", but he had to stop this topic.
The uncle and nephew met again after a long separation. With the mellow breeze and the setting sun, they had a good chat. After more than three hours of chatting, the two were still in high spirits.
It was not until Xue Xiang suddenly spoke and asked about the situation in Beijing that Xue Anyuan's brows suddenly frowned and his face darkened. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Third brother, don't get involved in this matter, you can't get involved in this matter. I know both sides have great kindness to us, and you have a high opinion of yourself, but I am not qualified to do this matter, so don't get involved in it, and you can't understand it!"
Xue Anyuan taught with sincerity, and his expression was extremely serious. Xue Xiang sighed and responded with emphasis.
In fact, with his past and later experience, and reading the most recent mainstream domestic newspapers, he had already felt the taste. He asked now, just to confirm it. After all, Xue Anyuan was at the highest peak, but after real confirmation of the news, he was still a little lonely. History has not turned around. Fortunately, there are only a slight crack now, and it is not irreversible.
Of course, Xue Laosan would never be so naive that he thought he could do something in this big event. What he hoped was purely the butterfly effect of his arrival in this world, and hoped that the final outcome would be slightly deflected.
When it came to this matter, both of them had no interest in continuing to talk. The little guy just woke up and rushed out of the hall with Xiaobai in his arms.
"Let's guy, you haven't cooked yet. It's time. Isn't Brother Yang coming to have dinner later?"
As the little guy finished speaking, Xue Xiang quickly raised his watch to look. Sure enough, it was already past five o'clock, and today it was clear and the sky was bright, which made people feel that it was half an night.
Because it was a family dinner, Xue Xiangzi couldn't propose to eat out. Besides, with Xue Anyuan's current identity, it was not easy to move easily. Take this moment as an example. It seems that he and Xue Xiang were chatting in the yard. In fact, there were many guards hidden within a radius of dozens of meters.
Since it is not convenient to go out, this dinner naturally has to be held at home. Fortunately, although the fire is not often opened at home, the kitchen is equipped with all the utensils. In addition, President Liu came back, and there were a lot of home appliances in the house. There were two German refrigerators alone, and there were also a lot of vegetables and ingredients in it. It was definitely more than enough to cook a dinner.
Xue Laosan has not cooked for a long time, but his life is still there. His hands are moving at the same time, and his speed is naturally amazing. In just five minutes, Xue Yang got home, and more than ten plates were left on a table of Eight Immortals. At 6:00, a sumptuous and delicious dinner was ready to stop.
After dinner, the three brothers and sisters of the Xue family sat with Xue Anyuan for a while. After watching the news broadcast, Xue Anyuan got up and wanted to leave. The little guy wore his face for a long time. Xue Xiang persuaded him, but she didn't listen. Xue Anyuan was forced to do nothing and promised a lot of conditions before he had to let go.
Xue Xiang knew that Xue Anyuan was busy with national affairs, and after all, he had multiple jobs. I am afraid that this afternoon's small gathering was also the time that Xue Anyuan forced to squeeze out.
After Xue An left, Xue Yang sat for a while and said goodbye and left at around 8 o'clock.
After seeing Xue Yuan off, after cleaning up the mess in the house, Xue Xiang went to the kitchen to heat up water, poured two bottles, and greeted the little guy to take a shower.
After the little guy washed, Xue Xiang had already taken a shower on the cold bed in the yard. As if even the sorrow of his uncle leaving had been washed away. He hugged Xiaobai and got into the quilt, laughing and began to threaten Xue Xiang to tell her stories again.
Nowadays, the little guy has long become a half-grown girl. The previous stories about Snow White could not scare her, but the story telling programs have always been preserved. However, after a few years, the little stories in Xue Xiang's mind have been used up, and he even made up stories to deal with them. However, it was very difficult to make up stories. Xue Laosan was so unbearable.
But whoever lets people control absolute hegemony? No matter how painful it is, this story has to be continued. By chance, Xue Laosan was forced to no avail. Suddenly, he saw the complete collection of Jin Yong on his pillow. He used it as a life-saving straw and picked out a story to tell him a story. The little guy who couldn't read clinker books has become a mystery since then. Every day, Xue Xiang would tell her these martial arts calls.
Fortunately, Xue Xiang didn't regard Jin Yong's martial arts as a mess, so he just relied on one book, so Xue Laosan lasted for a full year.
