Chapter 622: The First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, Why Did You Lose?

“…… (3) The first time I heard silly B

The first time I heard silly B was when I heard a man scolding someone cutting in line on the bus, and then I fell in love with the word. Naively, I thought that stupidity equaled stupidity, so cute!

After learning it, I will use the word again and again. Until now, I'm glad that my classmates and friends have scolded him, and he hasn't been beaten! Until one time, my friend cut a super silly haircut, and I said, "You look so stupid B", and his face turned half green. I just found out that this is a very strict scolding word......"

“…… What is a frog at the bottom of a well? My friends on the treasure island next to me know Japan well, go to the United States and Australia for work and vacation, and backpack and bag for themselves in Southeast Asia during the holidays. But they really don't know much about the mainland, and most of what they know are stereotypes such as land tourists and the economy. I believe this is a common phenomenon among young people in Treasure Island. Is this even a frog at the bottom of a well? Too many mainland friends equate the frog at the bottom of the well with those who don't understand the mainland.

I have also been asked all kinds of strange questions-"You are from Baodao, why is your Mandarin so good?", "Treasure Island is miserable now, isn't it very hard for the people?" and so on, and even directly said that it was the 8th son of Taiwan, so is this a frog at the bottom of the well and a sense of superiority?......

Seeing this, Wu Xiang has already made up his mind, so it's better to find this little girl!

It's really very good, not because of her position, not because she seems to be on the side of our continent, but because of some things that this little girl sees. It's something that Wu Xiang, a man, can't see.

Yes, just like that curse, like that sense of superiority. These things really can't be discovered if you don't experience them personally, and they're too subtle, if you don't observe life very carefully, if you don't pay attention to it, you can't feel it, you can't write it.

Just take a diary of this 'Love Island'. asked her to write a script and buy the copyright, and the matter was so decided, Wu Xiangna naturally didn't say a word. Tell his subordinates to act immediately, and get this done as quickly as possible.

Settle this matter, and then come to the film about the First Sino-Japanese Naval War. This film. Then naturally I have to find Uncle Huang......

"Wu, no, we can't fix this warship!" Uncle Huang is different now, he is no longer a divisional seat, but a military seat, but at this time, Uncle Huang has a helpless look on his face.

"Why can't it be rectified?" Wu Xiang originally thought. With Uncle Huang's current strength, how can you say that it is also a military seat, and a few ironclad ships of the year have come out. That's not that difficult, is it?

Wu Xiang's idea is that let's modify it ourselves, just find some merchant ships, right, the power system or anything can not be moved, but the appearance can be rectified, anyway, let's make a movie.

To be honest, with the current production capacity and shipbuilding technology, if you want to copy the ironclad ship of the year, it will definitely be a piece of cake, even if it is rebuilt, okay, maybe copy all the Beiyang Naval Division, this is indeed too expensive, it is estimated that Wu Xiang can't stand it, but to say that to copy the Dingyuan-class ironclad, it should not be much money.

Wu Xiang has this idea, anyway, this guy is very tyrant now, but now Uncle Huang sues him that he can't fix it, how is this possible?

"According to what you said, we are too wasteful. Uncle Huang said this.

"Waste?" I don't even think it's a waste of money!

Of course, Wu Xiang's words were said in his heart, but fortunately, he didn't say it, and Uncle Huang laughed.

"Hey, hey, actually, we don't have to be so complicated at all, because we Bayi Factory looked for it, it turns out that someone has already copied the Dingyuan ship!"

Damn! It turns out that this Uncle Huang is making fun of us!

Well, obviously this is because Uncle Huang was in a very good mood after becoming the supreme head of Bayi Factory, and he joked with Wu Xiang, but this Dingyuan ship was copied, and he Wu Xiang really didn't know about it.

When it comes to the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, in fact, what the majority of the audience remembers most clearly and impressed the most is not the Dingyuan ship, but the Zhiyuan ship, right? Most people are like this, this is actually very simple, because on the Zhiyuan ship, this produced our national hero Deng Shichang.

At the same time, it is also because in the early years, our older generation of filmmakers filmed the sensational "Jiawu Fengyun", and in this movie, the glorious image of Deng Shichang was interpreted by our famous performing artist Li Moran is very vivid, and the tragic scene at the end of the Zhiyuan ship has also become an eternal classic in China's film history!

This evaluation is not an exaggeration at all, it was really hot back then, and there are very few people who haven't seen it, of course, among our young generation, the post-80s generation is better, and the post-90s should watch less, because the movie channel replays it relatively rarely, and it may not be broadcast once in a few years.

However, the glorious image of the Zhiyuan ship is left, but if you really want to talk about the Beiyang Naval Division, the Zhiyuan ship is not really a capital ship, the capital ship is this Dingyuan-class battleship, there are two battleships of this class, one is called Dingyuan, and the other is called Zhenyuan.

Don't underestimate these two warships, because these two warships, at that time, were really the world's top battleships, which is not a boast, but a historical fact.

"The Dingyuan ship is also known as the "Saxony" improved warship in the West. The Dingyuan and Zhenyuan two ships were called "the largest ships in Asia" at that time. The second ship is 94.5 meters long, 18 meters wide, 6 meters draft, normal displacement of 7,335 tons or 7,430 tons, full load displacement of 7,670 tons, powered by two horizontal three-cylinder reciprocating steam engines, eight circular coal-fired boilers, power 6,000 or 7,300 horsepower, speed 14.5 knots ......"

We can see the power of the Dingyuan ship at that time, which was really called the largest giant in Asia, but why did this Asia's largest giant ship not leave more thoughts in our hearts, and the Zhiyuan ship, a small ship that can only be ranked in the third class, is more popular with us?

It's actually very simple. Because the Zhiyuan ship is tragic and strong, it is indomitable and heroic to the end, but everyone has no choice but to be far away. had to be bombed by his own people, and Zhenyuan was really unable to fight this battle in the end, he was captured by Japan, incorporated into the Japanese fleet, and even later participated in the invasion of China!

Aggrieved!

Such an aggrieved thing, then who will have a good face for these two ships?

However, these warships are only tools. It's just a tool, and those two warships at that time made little Japan greedy!

To say at the time. That is, in 1894, the first year of the Chinese war, generally speaking, in our eyes, China at that time was still the old society. Or the Manchus. It must be very decadent, very dilapidated, and the country is very decadent, but if we really turn the page of history and take a good look at that era, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to come to such a conclusion.

Some people will definitely say that this warship cannot be built by itself. What else is there to brag about?

This is true, but in the Manchu Qing at that time. Although there is no way to make such a huge ship, Japan does not have the ability to do so, and there is one thing to remember, that is, the Westernization Movement, which began in the 60s of the 19th century, that is to say, before the First Sino-Japanese War, the Westernization Movement has been going on for more than 30 years.

Even if Li Hongzhang, who runs foreign affairs, is a big straw bag, but after more than 30 years, there is no achievement at all?

At that time, there were still many industries in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, steel mills, arsenals, all of which were newly established.

Even if these results are average and fail to meet expectations, but even so, let's look at Japan?

They don't have a giant ship like Dingyuan, they really don't, and they can't even afford to buy it, because this thing was ordered from Germany, and you can buy it from Germany, you can also buy it in Japan, no problem, right?

But even if Meiji was a trouser at that time, he couldn't afford it, in fact, it was the national conditions of the two countries, to put it simply, the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, in fact, in terms of national strength, was completely crushing Japan!

On this matter, the United States used to laugh at Japan in the newspapers before the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, because you Japan is too idiotic, right? That's the Great Qing Kingdom, and their population is many times that of yours, so let's just put it this way, put aside a single thing, let you Japanese kill the Qing people, kill 1,000 people a day, how many years will you have to kill?

I can't kill it in 1,000 years!

Therefore, from the perspective of strength comparison, compared to GDP, the Qing Dynasty can crush Japan casually, compared to the standing army, the Qing Dynasty is more than 1 million people, and Japan is a fraction, and then specifically, compared to the fleets of both sides, the Beiyang Naval Division's Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, you little Japan is not better at all?

But!

Yes, but in that case, why did we lose the naval battle in the end? And we lost so badly? Those who lost were all our pants! The compensation was more than one, and the treasure island was lost, so that it was ......

SO THAT THERE ARE STILL SO MANY PEOPLE ON THAT TREASURE ISLAND NOW, THE IMPERIAL ARMY OF THE SKY, THE EMPEROR, THE BOARD, WHAT ZHI THAT CHEAP ANIMAL, RIGHT?

To be honest, Wu Xiang finds it interesting, because the two movies he is going to make now are the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle and the story of the little girl on Treasure Island, which seems to have some connections, which are quite subtle.

Therefore, what Wu Xiang wants to shoot this time is different from the previous films of the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, whether it is a movie or TV series, and the movie he wants to make this time is to make this 'why' clear!

Only when we understand this why, and we don't make such mistakes in the future, can we really kill Little Japan in the future, otherwise, the example of the Manchu Qing will be put alive there, and after this war, the Manchu Qing will have no chance...... (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you to the people of Wangyun Mountain, thank you for the monthly pass, thank you for the book friend 140907231807774, thank you for the reward, thank you very much!

What, the black car saw what the Western media reported, the police killed two stowaways in the south, sure enough, a taste, all kinds of that, but, hey, hey, now foreigners have learned to be smart, and they have a big opinion on the Western media, saying that these eight calves don't tell the truth, double standards, hahaha, didn't let the black car die.

Finally, I would like to ask for your support and thank you!
