Chapter 294: The First Naval Formation of China

After the wedding, Zhang Zongqing received a report from the Chinese navy.

Accompanied by the launch of sixteen "exterminator-class destroyers" and the installation of two "Great Xia-class" battle cruisers.

China's first naval formation was formally formed with the battleships "Zhiyuan" and "Dingyuan" as the core.

As far as the entire fleet is concerned, the firepower of two battleships, two battle cruisers, and 16 "exterminator-class destroyers" is already not to be underestimated.

Plus other light cruisers, large and small, as well as destroyers of various types.

Just from the point of view of traditional naval forces.

This navy of China is absolutely capable of defeating any naval formation of battleships in the world.

It's just that Zhang Zongqing also knows that the current navy is definitely the first and last battleship formation in China.

"Second son, Huaguo finally has its own naval formation."

Zhang Dabiao, who was standing not far from Zhang Zongqing, couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Sea power is a symbol of a nation's strength, and in this world, land is only a very small part."

"The ocean is vast and boundless, and the successful formation of China's first powerful naval formation means that our China has a vast sea of stars and seas."

Even Zhang Zongqing couldn't help but sigh happily.

In the past, when looking at the modern history of China, a few warships knocked on the door of the entire country.

Zhang Zongqing just felt extremely aggrieved.

In World War II, the aircraft carrier war that broke out between the Japanese slave country and the United States in the Pacific Ocean was unimaginable to China at that time.

And now that I'm in this era, everything has changed.

"Zhang Dabiao, you said that this time I will pull the current warship formation to Europe, will it scare the declining king of the Great Eagle Empire under the table?"

Zhang Zongqing suddenly laughed.

At this time, the decaying and declining Great Eagle Empire had already begun to decline, in Zhang Zongqing's memory.

A century later, the Eagle State has reduced its military spending year after year, and it can't even afford to raise its own aircraft carriers.

In various military, scientific and technological and economic forums, the declining Eagle Kingdom is very similar to the Qing court of that year.

Zhang Dabiao naturally didn't know why the second son suddenly said this, after all, in the eyes of Zhang Dabiao and most of the Chinese people, the Eagle Country is still the number one power in the world.

"On this trip to Europe, we pulled this battleship formation to the English Channel to shake it out, so that they could also feel the strength of our country."

"Europeans who have no one in their eyes and think very highly of themselves should also open their eyes and see that China is no longer the China of the past, and the center of the world will surely return to the East, which is an irreversible process."

Zhang Zongqing said proudly.

Warships travel around the world, seemingly a thankless and wasteful waste of fuel.

But many things are definitely not as simple as imagined, and the deterrent effect it brings can make many things in China extremely simple.

Of course, Zhang Zongqing, who aims to "become the world's largest arms dealer", has not only shown off his muscles to countries around the world.

There is also the sale of warships and weapons to other countries.

After all, there are still many "weak" and "bullied" countries in this world, and they need the help of these weapons.

Of course, this is premised on their ability to have "sufficient economic strength".

"Of course, it would be great if we could deviate the naval path of these Western European powers, who think highly of themselves."

After the Battle of Jutland in World War I, the Western European powers went on the road to strong ships and guns.

Therefore, if the two battleships "Zhiyuan" and "Dingyuan" appeared near Europe, those countries would definitely be taken into the ditch.

After all, without Western Europeans like Zhang Zongqing who can know the development process of the navy for decades, they will definitely not know that aircraft carriers are the protagonists of the future world.

And the battleships will be completely eliminated from the history of human navies after the Second World War.

"A navy with a Western European power?" Zhang Dabiao looked at the second son, Zhang Zongqing, a little uncertainly.

"Yes, let them invest their limited military spending in the construction of unlimited naval battleships."

"And in addition to the current battleship formation, the next thing we want to build in China is an aircraft carrier."

"An aircraft carrier full of carrier-based aircraft!"

I have to say that the current Zhang Zongqing has an almost demonic attachment to aircraft carriers.

After all, an aircraft carrier carrying fighter planes and escorted by various ships such as destroyers, cruisers, and submarines is really coveted and fascinating.

"Zhang Dabiao, you go and call Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi."

"I asked them if they would be interested in visiting our first naval warship formation in China with me, since they are willing to hand over the military and political power of the Gui family."

"Then I will also give the two of them a big gift, and also give them a choice."

"After all, whether it is Li Zongren or Bai Chongxi, they are both extremely capable."

In another period of history, although Bai Chongxi has always been Boss Jiang's staff officer, he was firmly tied to Boss Jiang's side.

But his nickname of "Little Zhuge " didn't come out casually.

At that time, many people highly recognized Bai Chongxi's military attainments.

And Bai Chongxi has always been proud, even a little arrogant, because his talent is indeed brilliant.

As for Li Zongren, his military talent may not be as good as Bai Chongxi, but in terms of knowing people and being good at their duties, Li Zongren is also extremely strong.

can make Bai Chongxi live under him, and can treat the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, and the Northwest Army and other local miscellaneous armies equally.

Let these forces unite tightly, and then fight Taierzhuang with extremely backward weapons.

It's not something that everyone can do.

Compared with nepotism, Boss Jiang, who is extremely partial to his descendants.

Li Zongren is more worthy of respect.

Therefore, Zhang Zongqing's previous "Peace Treaty" for Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren can be said to be extremely harsh.

But this can also be said to be a temptation of Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren, and talents like this are completely shelved just because they are jealous, which is not Zhang Zongqing's consistent style.

What's more, a figure like Zhang Zongqing, is there anyone in the entire country of China who is worthy of his jealousy?

Only mediocre rulers have a fear of the outstanding talents under them.

Because he has no ability to ensure that he can sit firmly in front of such excellent subordinates.

Therefore, mediocre rulers will have jealousy and jealousy of their talented subordinates.

And Zhang Zongqing is such a ruler, no matter what aspect it is, he is a desperate ruler.

His men should be afraid.

Like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, their courtiers were all governed and obedient.

"Yes, I'm going to call Chief Li and Chief Bai."

Zhang Dabiao immediately saluted Zhang Zongqing.

"Second son!" After saluting a military salute, Zhang Dabiao, who had been holding his face, did not leave directly.

"Tell me, what's the matter? When I look at you, I feel bad in my heart! ”

Zhang Zongqing put down the signature pen in his hand and looked at Zhang Dabiao with a smile on his face.

"Second son, didn't you mention a new personal guard candidate before?"

"I have done a systematic investigation in the past few days, and there is a military academy student named Zhou Weiguo who has a very good ability in Germany, and I think he should be able to be qualified for the position of the second son's personal guard."

Since Monk Wei became the deputy captain of the "Dragon Soul" special forces and the supreme commander of the operations of the entire special forces.

The position of personal security guard beside Zhang Zongqing has been vacant.

And Zhang Dabiao is also the commander of the guard company, and at the same time serves as Zhang Zongqing's personal guard.

However, on the one hand, he took on the position of the commander of the guard company, and on the other hand, he served as Zhang Zongqing's personal guard.

Zhang Dabiao's energy is too draining, so Zhang Zongqing has been asking Zhang Dabiao to find a suitable replacement.

On the last trip to Sichuan and Shu, the reminder of a guard from the guard company gave Zhang Dabiao new ideas and ideas.

And Zhou Weiguo also entered Zhang Dabiao's sight.
