Got Zhou Xiaozhengtai, oh it's Zhou Huaipeng, Wu Chenxuan and his wife were accompanied by Chu Qiannan to the Chu family in the new village. Along the way, the customs of Tianjin were narrated in Chu Qiannan's mouth, like a little tour guide. It's not the same thing. When passing by the bank of the Haihe River, Wu Chenxuan told Wang Yunning and Chu Qiannan about Wu Luzhen, General Wu was thrown out of the store after eating a bully meal, and he and Alfred rescued him together, and happened to meet Wu Ziyu. Laughing.

"Madam, do you know why Wu Luzhen passed through Tianjin last time he went to the Northeast, but he didn't give his old subordinates a name, and didn't go into the city to have a banquet, but listened to the report of Lao Liu of the Tianjin Garrison District on the train. Lao Liu still thought that he had done something wrong, so he went back to constantly reflect on himself, inspect his work, and checked the garrison to the bottom, and only stopped in the past two days. ”

"Hahaha" The two beauties bent down with a smile, they didn't expect there to be such interesting things in this army. "You don't want to mention Lao Liu, but he is also the old man of the insurance group back then."

"Forget it, it's better to let him work blindly for once. Being able to constantly reflect on yourself is not necessarily a bad thing. In the current military and government, there is a lack of this style of self-analysis. Wu Chenxuan looked at the two beauties and smiled self-deprecatingly, let's take these worries by myself. However, Wang Yunning still secretly held her husband's hand, and Wu Chenxuan patted her to signal that she was nothing.

The new village is also on the bank of the Haihe River, but it is some distance from the city, so it can be regarded as quiet. "Dad, Dad, someone is looking for you." On the edge of the Haihe River, a middle-aged man sat on a horse, holding on to a fishing rod and not moving, and he wore a sunshade helmet common in the South Seas on his head. Chu Qiannan didn't care about this, she pounced on it and wanted to hug the man, but the man put down the fishing rod and turned around and hurriedly hugged his daughter.

"You're a dead girl, you're not too big or too small. I don't see stability, wipe your sweat quickly, my dad hung a few silver carp for you today, stewed soup to drink. The middle-aged man with a fatherly face stood up.

"By the way, Dad, you have a guest." The youngest daughter raised her chin and gestured in the direction of Wu Chenxuan and his wife.

"Guest?" The middle-aged man looked up and found Wu Chenxuan and Wang Yunning, who were smiling not far away, putting the fishing gear in their daughter's hand, wiping their hands and walking over.

"It's Your Excellency the Vice President, the virtuous couple is here, and if you miss the distance, forgive your sins." Lukewarm words, Wu Chenxuan's heart is also like a mirror, it seems that the other party has not put down his body yet.

Back at Chu Zhaodong's house, Chu Qiannan and a servant brought tea and pastries and avoided it. Chu Zhaodong sat in the main seat, although he also persuaded tea to greet him, but he obviously didn't want to talk about the topic. Wu Chenxuan simply picked out the intention.

"Mr. Chu, I think I came here, Mr. Chu, you must understand, I don't know what Mr. Chu thinks about being in charge of the Chinese Navy?"

Chu Zhaodong's face was solemn, and he pondered for a moment before speaking, "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, to be honest, the old man has spent his whole life in the navy, and it is naturally my long-cherished wish to rebuild the Chinese Navy, but I think that rebuilding the Chinese Navy requires giving the naval commander three powers. ”

"Oh, Mr. Chu, I'd like to hear about it."

"First of all, we must not be suspicious in employing people, and do not interfere in the selection and employment of personnel in the navy, if I am the commander of the navy, I need to choose the officers on the ship by myself. Second, it is necessary to provide sufficient funds, and the purchase of warships from Britain, Germany, France, the United States, and Japan requires a large amount of funds. Finally, if the navy is formed, it cannot interfere with my command in wartime, and if it is all in battle, I will not say a word. I don't know if the chief can agree to the above three conditions. ”

Wu Chenxuan knew why Feng Ru couldn't invite this old guy, and even Feng Ru himself didn't have the right to ask for it. Wu Chenxuan smiled and listened to Chu Zhaodong's words, and replied without thinking.

"Mr. Chu, I understand all these three conditions. But I want to know what kind of scale our navy will be built in your plan, can you popularize science for me, a layman in the navy? ”

"Your Excellency Vice President, my plan is to expand the current two cruisers into a six-four-tier fleet within two years by purchasing British and German warships, that is, six 30,000-ton super dreadnought battleships, four 10,000-ton battle cruisers, supplemented by no less than 40 cruisers, destroyers and other auxiliary warships."

"Are you planning to rebuild the second Beiyang Naval Division?" Wu Chenxuan's words made Chu Zhaodong's face sink.

"What do you mean, chief?" Chu Zhaodong's words were already filled with anger, Wu Chenxuan smiled slightly, and then said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu." I can now answer your three conditions, none of which I will agree to. ”

"In that case, Your Excellency. Forgive the old man and arrogance, I would rather hang a fish by the sea and river for a lifetime than accept your invitation to serve your navy. Chu Zhaodong replied solemnly.

"Mr. Chu, do you think there is nothing left to discuss between us?"

"Forgive me for not seeing anything else to discuss."

"Well, I wonder if I support you in realizing the plan of the 66th Fleet, how sure are you of confronting the Japanese Combined Fleet once a war breaks out between China and Japan?" Wu Chenxuan put it another way.

"With our current strength, even if we have such a fleet in a short period of time, it will take about three years to run in. A detachment against the Combined Fleet may have a few percent chance of victory, but if the entire army against the Combined Fleet is dispatched, I am afraid that it can only inflict heavy damage on the enemy and destroy it heroically. ”

"In that case, I can't hand over tens of thousands of children of the National Defense Force, hundreds of millions of yuan in national defense funds, and China's century-old national fortune to you." Wu Chenxuan smiled.

"Your Excellency, the old man is only a shallow learner, and he can only go so far, and he will disappoint you." After Chu Zhaodong heard Wu Chenxuan's words, he did not fall into anger, but smiled helplessly. "After the First Sino-Japanese War, China had no sea defense, and Japan successively defeated the First and Second Pacific Fleets of Tsarist Russia. After more than 20 years of faulting, how can we catch up with the Japanese in a short period of time? ”

"Since we can't catch up, then why should we eat the footsteps of other people's cars again?" Wu Chenxuan said. "I also have some experience in building the Wehrmacht Navy, so let's ask General Chu to aggrieved and temporarily act as the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, I, a layman, will command the Chinese Navy in a year's time, how about you and I talk about a game?"

"Then I have taken a big advantage, Commander-in-Chief, do you have specific information about the current Wehrmacht Navy?" Chu Zhaodong didn't ask about the situation of the Japanese Combined Fleet at all, how could he, who always paid attention to the navy, not know about the situation of the Japanese. However, the development of the Wehrmacht's navy since World War I is very secret, not to mention Chu Zhaodong, a soldier in the opposition, even the Japanese Navy Command Department may not have detailed information.

"These, these are the full strength of our national navy?" Chu Zhaodong looked at the roster of naval equipment in his hand, and couldn't believe his eyes, it was much worse than he imagined. "Commander-in-chief, has the Wehrmacht deducted naval funds? With such a navy, it is not even as good as the former Qing Dynasty, and it also fights with the Japanese Combined Fleet, isn't this taking a sampan to resist the ironclad ship? ”

"Now our navy is indeed more defensive than aggressive, but if there is an expert command, there is still some chance of victory." Wu Chenxuan pretended not to see Chu Zhaodong's face that could wring out water.

"Okay, okay, then I'll wait for the master's trick." Chu Zhaodong's anger was hard to suppress, this Wu Chenxuan was simply playing with the lives of naval officers and China's national fortunes, he wanted to see how this kind of small sampan fleet, which did not even have a displacement of 20,000 tons, could confront the Japanese combined fleet.

"As the Chinese side, I will deploy troops five days in advance before the war, I don't know what General Chu thinks?"

"The chief is arbitrary." Even if you, Wu Chenxuan, drive the fleet to the gate of Wu Harbor, you can't withstand the salvo of the main guns of a ship on the Hyuga, what tricks can you play.

"Two destroyers of your fleet have been damaged by mines." Both sides each wrote instructions to Chu Qiannan, and this little girl, who was also a naval enthusiast under the influence of his father, was counted as the referee of today's war game. Chu Zhaodong was stunned by his daughter's words, but he didn't panic, "The First Guerrilla Fleet stopped advancing and retreated the same way. All other plans remain the same. ”

"A light patrol of your fleet sank by a mine, and the battle patrol was attacked by a torpedo and seriously injured." Chu Qiannan's voice sounded again, this time Chu Qiannan looked at her father helplessly, it seemed that her father was more than lucky.

"What do you think, girl?" Although it is an international waterway, it is possible for the other party to lay mines in advance, but the other party is simply joking when he lays mines in the rear that he has just sailed by, when his own destroyers are blind?

Chu Qiannan looked at Wu Chenxuan, Wu Chenxuan smiled and motioned Chu Qiannan to show his order to his father, although it was not in accordance with the rules, but looking at Chu Zhaodong who was almost rampant, it was okay. Chu Zhaodong picked up the order sheet and looked at it, dumbfounded, the other party turned out to be a submarine mine, and the previous minefield was also temporarily arranged by the other party after detecting his own itinerary. The speed of the opponent's SEAL-class submarines can reach 15.2 knots (on the water) and 13 knots (underwater), and it is not difficult to deploy in advance on their own waterways to Shanghai, Qingdao, and Guangzhou; according to the introduction, this kind of submarine can carry 28 mines, and three can arrange a minefield that is enough to give the guerrilla fleet a headache, and once it penetrates into the minefield, no matter how powerful the fleet is, it will not dare to guarantee that it will come out unscathed. This torpedo attack is a bit nonsense, who doesn't know that submarines may be a deadly threat to merchant ships, but they are scum in front of groups of cruisers and destroyers. To dare to take the lead is to die, not to mention that the current torpedoes are all steam torpedoes or diesel engine propelled torpedoes, not only the range is short, but also the speed is slow, there are obvious tracks, the fleet can easily find that the submarine that has launched the torpedo is almost powerless.

"Chief, how does the submarine get out after this torpedo attack, and what is the hit rate of the torpedo?"

"I know, Dad, I have the data here." Chu Qiannan had already looked at the fleet equipment data provided by both sides, otherwise how could she judge the results of the battle. "The Wehrmacht is a SEAL-class submarine, using AIP technology, which can dive continuously for 24 hours, launch a standard torpedo of 533 mm, have a speed of 80 knots, a range of 40 nautical miles, and a single shot hit rate of 75%."

Chu Zhaodong was completely speechless now, what kind of demon is this, there is this kind of submarine that is almost the king of Hades under the sea and a torpedo like a soul hook, as long as the surface fleet is touched, it will either be dead or disabled, and it is a fart.

Chu Zhaodong once again opened the list of naval equipment of the Wehrmacht, 24 seal submarines, 400 S06 torpedo attack aircraft, 128 Swordfish-class torpedo boats, the combined displacement is not enough for a guerrilla fleet, and there are not a few guns, but with the cooperation of this kind of torpedo, what kind of cannon giant ships can only be abused.

When Chu Zhaodong was hesitating, his baby girl almost didn't let him fall on the sand table with a word. "Dad, I don't think you have to be a monkey now, so let's do it."
