Section 382 Beginning of a New Naval Era
"Boss, isn't this Fujian case too harsh, after all, the Fujian people are good at the navy, and there is no one in China to compare." Xiong Bingsan once served in Huguang and Liangguang, and was very familiar with the Fujian navy.
"Hehe, the bear is old and sit down. I did this for a purpose. "I still have a lot of respect for the old Xiong Wu Chenxuan, who has helped him govern for several years and is willing to give way to the second place, and Xu Juren, who introduced his old friend to the Wuyi New Army, was also a little ashamed to take over the position of his old friend, so Xu Shichang also has a lot of respect for Xiong Xiling. Wu Chenxuan explained, "First of all, the Fujian system has been self-contained for a long time, whether it is mixing sand or digging the foot of the wall, changing the Fujian system is not an overnight thing, and what we lack is not an official hat or a golden ticket, but just time." Secondly, most of the Fujian people studied under the Royal Navy, and what they learned was a dignified battle battle, and our way to develop the navy was to start quickly by diving, which was incompatible with them, even if they came to defect, I am afraid that it would not be of great use. Again, the Fujian navy has a very heavy burden, thousands of sailors, tens of thousands of family members, and a number of old warships, and the maintenance costs alone are enough for us to build another Beiyang naval division, and it is not much use to use this money to raise the Fujian navy except to be a reef at home. Finally, our contempt for the Fujian Navy happens to be the best smoke to reassure Japan, so that they can indulge in the dream of dreadnoughts and waste their national strength, which is very beneficial to our overall strategy. ”
"So, we are going to have a war with Japan?" Xu Shichang asked, he has no doubt about Wu Chenxuan's deployment in the general direction now, just kidding, this person knows five hundred years and three hundred years later, what is the most convenient development direction, he will not know? However, a war with Japan means that the coastal areas are within the range of the other side's artillery, which is not a good thing for the national economy that has just made Lusu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai the most developed regions in China.
"Yes, according to the readiness of each branch of the military, the navy at the latest will also be ready in the second half of this year, and the twelfth year of the republic will be the year of a life-and-death showdown between us and the Japanese invaders, and all plans must be prepared according to this schedule." This was the first time that Wu Chenxuan had indicated to his subordinates that he would have a decisive battle with Japan.
"There should be no problem on the Army side." Xu Shichang still has a lot of confidence in the Wehrmacht, after all, in the most brutal Western Front battlefield, the German army has talked about the color change, and the French army also believes that a Chinese division can be used as a French West African infantry army, and against a dozen Japanese divisions, the army may not be able to use all its strength. "The Air Force should also be above the other side, at least we can't let the little devils come to the sky above us."
"Old Xu. The army can now only be said to be more defensive and less aggressive. Not to mention the navy, even after the first phase of the rearmament plan in the second half of this year, we can only hope for a successful sneak attack, and we will not be able to confront the Japanese Combined Fleet head-on at all, so our shipping will encounter a blockade by the other side for a period of time, so our foreign economy must be prepared to live a tight life. "Wu Chenxuan seriously analyzed the two bigwigs of the government, after all, the affairs of the government after the war still rely on the two old ministers." Although we can call the Air Force the first in the world, it is still far from the responsibilities she will be given. The Air Force will be the decisive force for us to defeat Japan, so in terms of military spending, the Navy will account for 30 percent of the equipment costs, the Army will account for about 20 percent, and 45 percent of the equipment expenses will go to the Air Force, so it can be said that the Air Force will decide the outcome of the entire war. ”
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate, after all, the overall size of the army is much larger than the air force, and the navy is far more difficult to build from scratch than the air force, so I don't think it's easy to balance. Moreover, the parliament has already decided on the distribution of military spending, so I am afraid that it will not be possible to explain to the legislators if such a major adjustment is hastily made. Xiong Bingsan knew that he should probably retire after finishing this session, so of course there should be no harm in this matter of his later battle. Although I know Boss Wu's golden finger, this kind of completely unreasonable play and ignore weaknesses always seems to be a bit risky.
"Old Bear is too worried. I am talking about equipment funds rather than military spending, that is to say, the military funds approved by the parliament will continue to be used, and the equipment funds within the scope of military spending will also be allocated according to the current proportion, and I have assigned Wu Bo to allocate 3 billion yuan from the accumulated profits of the standard system as an equipment fund, and the standard department will also sell 92% of the power plants, waterworks, shipyards, steel plants and other heavy industrial enterprises, accounting for about 65% of the fixed assets of the standard system. Of course, power plants and water plants are only for internal bidding for our two major chambers of commerce and national public utilities, and other enterprises are also looking for domestic buyers through the platform of the chamber of commerce, and I think that with these excellent assets of the standard system, the benefits should be more than 35 billion, of which the funds that can be obtained immediately will not be less than 15 billion, which is enough to support the entire arms expansion plan within two years. ”
"Boss, isn't this going to make you ruin your family and save the country? Xiong Bingsan felt that Boss Wu was playing too much this time, so he simply gambled his net worth. However, as a subordinate, I can't help but show some loyalty, "I trust the general seat Hongfu, the old man has a lot of eunuchs over the years, and if you prepare, you will probably have one or two hundred million or twenty million." ”
"I understand Elder Xiong's kindness, don't do this thing of losing money, otherwise it will be difficult for the colleagues below to do it. The reason why I plan to use most of the assets of the standard system to change the military is that I still have some selfish motives in it. Wu Chenxuan explained with a smile: "On the one hand, most of the equipment still has to be borne by our arsenal and other equipment manufacturing enterprises, and the meat is rotten in the pot." On the other hand, I am also for the sake of the standard, otherwise I will still occupy the public resources such as electricity and water supply in the future, which is not suitable in any case, and scatter these big businesses, so as to avoid the suspicion that the standard system is covering the sky, after all, competing with the people for profit is not what I should do. ”
At this moment, Xiong Lao and Xu Lao both smiled, everyone is smart, and they don't need to break it, the boss is going to donate to the army with one stone. On the one hand, it can strengthen the control of the army, after all, the guns in the hands of the soldiers are bought with the money of Boss Wu, and the loyalty will not be too low. Second, the other side is confusing Japan, because the other side cannot know the size and purpose of this national defense fund, which is 10 times larger than the central government's military spending, and cannot guess China's national defense strength and strategy and tactics. The third aspect is the most important, since ancient times, only officials will care about whether to compete with the people, obviously Wu Chenxuan is planning to transfer some public utilities that are not suitable for private enterprises to the state, and then disperse some conspicuous profitable enterprises, and climb to the top of the supreme position with ease. In this way, Xu Shichang and Xiong Xiling both understand the ambition of the boss, since the boss wants to climb to the top and be the master, how can these confidants and important ministers not have a future?
Xu Shichang, an old man, after understanding what the boss meant, will naturally plan the rest of the things. This matter is related to the future of his Xu family and the descendants of the twenty-four heroes, he Xu Shichang naturally has to do his best to plan and promote, compared with the benefits, the risk is not worth mentioning at all, as long as the time is ripe, Xu Shichang will naturally be the one who launched the whole move to change the world. After completing the work of Xu Lao and Xiong Lao, the rest is the work of each military branch. There is no doubt in the General Staff that General Staff Duan supports General Counselor Wu as always, the army was originally a concurrent member of General Staff Duan, and the five group armies under his command are all old generals of Wu Chenxuan, and the middle and high-level officers are either from the Wuyi New Army or graduates of the Zaolin Military Academy, and the grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers are all receiving various benefits provided by the standard department, among which the most intimate thing for them is that more than eighty percent of the military family members have entered the standard department to work, not to mention the salary, in this case, there is no hope of subverting Wu Chenxuan by rebelling against the army. Wei Yu of the Air Force and Feng Ru of the Navy are Wu Chenxuan's hardcore, and these two branches of the military are Wu Chenxuan's descendants, so it can be said that Wu Chenxuan's words in the Navy and Air Force are enough for the two branches of the military to attack any target without hesitation.
Although the army generals did not understand, the navy and air force had an advantage over the army in the war against Japan and the recovery of the territory in the southeast sea in the future, and the army could not control the affairs of the island of Taiwan even if it was strong. On the whole, the army generals are very accepting of the plan to strengthen the construction of the rapid reaction force and replace the army's ordinary infantry with armored troops, and it is not as good as the air navy, anyway, as a big brother, it is reasonable to let the two little brothers.
The Air Force has got the lion's share, of course, there is no doubt, and what will happen to the huge investment in the Navy, let's first look at the establishment of this nascent navy.
The 18 attack submarines were organized into three submersible fleets, which were diesel-electric attack submarines developed by Standard Shipbuilding in Shijiu. The entire submarine is divided into 7 compartments, namely the first torpedo compartment, the forward battery compartment, the command compartment, the rear battery compartment, the diesel engine compartment, the propulsion motor compartment and the tail torpedo compartment.
There are 6 533 mm launch tubes and 6 spare torpedoes in the first torpedo compartment, the head horizontal rudder and anchor device, and an emergency blowing system. In the first battery compartment there is a set of batteries and an officer's quarters.
In the command cabin, radar, sonar, navigation, steering, submersible, balancing, firing command, as well as high and medium compression, hydrophobic, hydraulic, air conditioning, refrigeration, battery water cooling and other major systems are concentrated. There are also periscopes, radar antennas, radio antennas, and snorkel lifts. In the diesel engine room, there are 2 diesel engines, whole ship ventilators, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, etc. There are 2 main propulsion motors and 2 aeronautical motors and their control equipment in the propulsion motor compartment. In the tail torpedo compartment there are 2 launch tubes, rudder transmission, etc. This type of submarine has 11 ballast water tanks and has good underwater unsinkability and seaworthiness.
The main observation and communication equipment of the new submarine includes radar and radar reconnaissance planes, integrated sonar, communications sonar, reconnaissance sonar and periscope, gyrocompass, hydroologmeter, track self-plotter, short-wave, long-wave, ultra-short-wave and other radio communication equipment and antennas. And their most powerful weapons are the twelve 533mm torpedoes they carry on each submarine.
This diesel-electric submarine with a displacement of 1,475 tons (on the water) is the largest submarine in the world, with a length of 76.6 meters, a width of 6.7 meters and a draft of 5.2 meters. It can dive to a depth of 300 meters, using two low-noise Taishan diesel engines, two-shaft propulsion, and the speed can reach 15.2 knots (water), 13 knots (underwater), although it can't catch up with the main battleships such as battleships and cruisers, but the general merchant ships can not escape him much. The maximum endurance of 7,000 nautical miles, and the configuration of 51 submarine officers and men is still quite powerful, at least the self-sustaining ability is much better than the submarines of World War I, this kind of submarine can also carry 28 anchor mines or floating mines, used to block the sea route.
Of course, the navy can't just rely on a few advanced submarines to dominate the world, so Wu Chenxuan's treasure bag was opened again, adding a few more artifacts to the national defense navy.
