Chapter 85: On the Navy
"Uncle, you didn't come to Mingzhu this time to make a special trip to see a few of us, right?"
After pouring a cup for Xue Anyuan, Xue Laosan was crooked on the chair, his feet folded, and he was against Lao Huai, and his expression was very leisurely.
Xue Anyuan knew that he was joking, and said with a smile: "What is there to look at your kid, I came by the way to see my good girl!" β
Xue Laosan said: "Even if it's by the way, there must be something serious, if I guessed correctly, you came this time for the East China Sea Fleet, right?" β
Xue Anyuan knew that this nephew had a great mind, and he didn't bother to ask him how he knew, so he nodded with a smile and directly explained the cause and effect.
It turns out that it is still related to the Hong Kong Island negotiations, although the center and Hong Kong Britain have talked several times before and after, and have also signed a lot of so-called agreements, but the art of war, first is invincible, in order to wait for the enemy to win, the opportunity to win or lose, always in their own hands is wonderful, in a word, striking iron must be self-defeating.
However, our army's land war is invincible, and the shortcomings are still in the navy, which has been weak for a hundred years, coincided with the current dispute over Hong Kong Island, and the military's attention naturally shifted to the navy.
Xue Anyuan is in charge of the Ministry of National Defense and is also in charge of military innovation, and the plan to revitalize coastal defense naturally fell into his hands.
"To build an aircraft carrier?"
Xue Lao Sanmi took a sip of tea and suddenly said something amazing.
Clang!
Xue Anyuan stretched out his hand and gave it to him, "National affairs, how can you joke casually?" β
Xue Xiang pouted, "If you want me to say, it's better not to toss, no matter what, Hong Kong Island can come this time, those little cruisers, coastal defense ships." We're almost enough now, let's train naval officers first, especially aircraft carrier aviation! β
Xue Xiang's previous words were naturally a joke. He didn't know that it was almost impossible to build an aircraft carrier for the current republic, let alone the present, even thirty years later, the republic would only have an aircraft carrier. It's still a foreign second-hand thing to buy, and it's still far from being self-made.
In fact, even if the country can buy an aircraft carrier at this time. I am afraid that the huge amount of maintenance and maintenance expenses cannot be borne by the current republic.
But since the aircraft carrier is like a myth to the current republic, why did Xue Xiang still advise to train aircraft carrier aviation? Of course, speaking of which, it must be mentioned that aircraft carrier aviation is different from the air force in the ordinary sense, because the aircraft carrier area is relative to the land apron area. In any case, it is small in comparison, and with one aircraft carrier, there are usually dozens of planes to take off. Landing, including stopping, has extremely strict and precise requirements, and the training of such high-end pilots is naturally not an overnight thing.
In addition, at this time, there was no formal naval officer school in China, even the Bengbu Naval Military Academy in later generations had to be built four years later, and the strength and creation of the navy was by no means how many aircraft carrier battle groups could be completed, and the leader said well, the most critical factor in war is people, and the same is true for a prosperous navy.
The reason why Xue Xiang admonished Xue Anyuan that there was no need to build more small ships was because no matter how many small ships there were, it would be difficult to form a strategic advantage, and the existing two small-scale fleets were enough to protect the family.
Xue Anyuan pondered for a long time, and sighed: "You kid's mouth, picking thorns is first-class, just if all the princes in charge are fools, the small ship should be built or must be built, if it is not built, it is difficult to let the only few remaining shipyards be abandoned, and the shipbuilding process still has to be improved in practice, and it is not always a way to buy it." β
Xue Anyuan said, Xue Xiang was silent, because he knew that what his uncle said was right, and the machinery manufacturing industry of the Republic in later generations was not bad under the bureaucratic idea of "making is better than imitation, imitation is better than buying"?
Xue Anyuan saw that his nephew was silent, and said with relief: "What your kid said about the establishment of the Naval Officer Academy reminded me of this, I will go back and report to the Military Commission for a good discussion and discussion, in short, the meal should be eaten in one bite, take your time, the navy is not a matter of overnight." β
Xue Xiang nodded, ended the topic, and then asked about Kang Tong, Li Hongjun, Liu Yuanchao, Sun Qianjin and others.
If you want to say that these guys have entered Lingnan, they can be regarded as entering their own territory, and the contact should be frequent and easy, but as soon as these guys enter Lingnan, they are as deep as the sea, and they have never called once, Xue Xiang can see Kang Tong, and it is still the time when he arrested the Korean fraudster Park Chengxing in Xiaoshan, he shouted from afar on the helicopter.
The other Li Hongjun and the others are even gone, it is the critical moment of his Xue Laosan's marriage, and there is no news from these guys, this time, when he met Xue Anyuan, Xue Xiang naturally had to ask.
Xue Anyuan said: "It's all good, anyway, it's better than you kid, if you are called a soldier, you are not a soldier, and if you don't roll in blood and fire three times, is it still a good man?" β
Xue Anyuan didn't say this, but said the obsession in his heart again, in the end, he still regretted that Xue Xiang had never entered the army, after all, his Xue family from his generation, can be regarded as a family of generals, Xue Anyuan's three brothers all joined the army, that is, Xue Xiang's deceased father Xue Dingyuan also participated in the Korean War, and changed careers. And when it was Xue Xiang's turn to be in the army, no one joined the army, so naturally Xue Anyuan couldn't help but regret it.
Hearing Xue Anyuan's words, Xue Xiang would not learn from the famous minister Han Qi and the famous general Di Qing in the Northern Song Dynasty, and said "The hairpin flower parade outside the Donghua Gate is a good man", but he had to stop this topic.
The uncle and nephew reunited after a long absence, and with this mellow breeze, the small courtyard of Xieyang had a good conversation for a while, and this chat lasted for more than three hours, and the two were still in high spirits.
It wasn't until Xue Xiang suddenly spoke out and asked about the situation in Beijing that Xue Anyuan's brows suddenly twisted, his face darkened, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Third child, don't get involved in this matter, you can't afford to get involved, I know that both sides have great favors to us, and you kid has always regarded yourself very highly, but I am not qualified for this matter, so don't mix it indiscriminately, and I don't understand!" β
Xue Anyuan was earnestly taught, and his spirit was extremely serious, Xue Xiang sighed in his heart and nodded heavily.
In fact, with his experience in his previous and past lives, coupled with reading the latest mainstream domestic newspapers, he has long felt the taste, he is asking at this time, just to confirm it, after all, Xue Anyuan is at the highest peak, but after confirming the news, he is still inevitably a little lonely, history has not turned a corner after all, fortunately, it is only a slight crack now, not to the extent of irreparability.
Of course, Xue Laosan will never be naΓ―ve enough to think that he can do something in this major matter, what he hopes for is purely the butterfly effect of his arrival in this world, hoping that the final ending can be slightly deflected after all.
Involving this matter, both of them lost the interest in continuing to talk, just when the little guy woke up, hugged Xiaobai, and rushed out of the hall.
"Big guy, you haven't cooked yet, what time is it, wait a while, isn't Brother Yang coming for dinner?"
The little guy's voice fell, Xue Xiang hurriedly raised his watch to look, and sure enough, it was already more than five o'clock, and it was sunny and bright today, so that people didn't realize that it was half of the night.
Because it was a family banquet, Xue Xiangzi was not good at proposing to go out to eat, and with Xue Anyuan's current identity, it was not easy to move lightly, just at this moment, it seemed that he and Xue Xiang were chatting in the courtyard, but in fact, in front of the house and behind the house, within a radius of dozens of meters, I don't know how many guards were hidden.
Since it is inconvenient to go out, this dinner party naturally has to be held at home, fortunately, although the fire is not often turned on at home, but the kitchen room is fully equipped with all the utensils, plus President Liu came back, there are a lot of household appliances in the house, just the German refrigerator put two, there are a lot of vegetables and vegetables in it, and it is definitely more than enough to cook a dinner.
Xue Laosan has not been cooking for a long time, but his life skills are still there, his hands are moving together, the speed is naturally amazing, Xue Yang arrived home in only five minutes, a table of eight immortals, more than ten plates, six o'clock, a hearty and delicious dinner is ready to stop.
After eating, the three brothers and sisters of the Xue family sat with Xue Anyuan for a while, and after watching the news broadcast, Xue Anyuan got up to leave, the little guy had a bitter face for a long time, Xue Xiang persuaded her, but she didn't listen, or Xue Anyuan was forced to run out of options, and promised a bunch of conditions before he had to be released.
Xue Xiang knew that Xue Anyuan was busy with state affairs, after all, he wore many hats, and I was afraid that this afternoon's small gathering was also the time for Xue Anyuan to squeeze out.
After Xue An left, Xue Yang sat for a while, and at eight o'clock, he said goodbye and left.
After sending Xue Yuan away and cleaning up the mess in the house, Xue Xiang went to the kitchen to heat up the water, filled two bottles, and beckoned the little guy to take a bath.
After the little guy finished washing, Xue Xiang got down on the cool bed in the courtyard early, and the little guy took a bath, as if even the sorrow of the uncle's departure was washed away, and he hugged Xiaobai into the quilt, laughed and laughed, and began to threaten Xue Xiang to tell her a story.
Today's little guy has already become a half-grown girl, and the previous stories of Snow White can't bluff her for a long time, but the storytelling program has always been retained, but after a few years, the little story in Xue Xiang's mind has long been exhausted, and he even made up his own story to deal with it, but it is also very difficult to make up the story, and Xue Laosan is unspeakable.
But who let the family hold the absolute hegemony, no matter how painful it is, this story has to be told, by chance, Xue Laosan was forced to be really out of tricks, and suddenly saw the thick Jin Yong's complete works next to the pillow, and it was a lifesaver at that time, and picked out a piece that said, and the little guy who couldn't read the clinker read the book has become a fan since then, and he will let Xue Xiang tell her this martial arts call every day.
Fortunately, Xue Xiang didn't classify Jin Yong's martial arts as a messy book, just relying on a "The Legend of the Heroes of Shediao", Xue Laosan lasted for a full year.
The oblique moon bends and hangs on the treetops, the starlight shines on the Milky Way, and with the sound of the bell, Xue Laosan's fingers knocked on the bamboo bed, which filled the storyteller's shocking wood, "It is said that Guo Jing has just been on the Peach Blossom Island ......"
