In fact, Jiang Haoran is not disgusted with Chen Shaokuan, on the contrary, he even has some admiration.

Chen Shaokuan, a native of Fujian, was born in 1890 to a father who was a craftsman in the woodwork and later joined the navy as a sailor. Influenced by his family and father, Chen Shaokuan has been interested in the navy and aircraft carrier since he was a child. At the age of 17, he entered the Sailor Academy to learn seamanship, and after graduating, he joined the Qing Dynasty navy. After the Xinhai Revolution, Chen Shaokuan joined the National Revolutionary Army and served as an adjutant in the navy. During World War I, he was credited with the Paris Peace Conference as a representative of the Chinese Navy for his meritorious service in the British Navy, and the idea of revitalizing China's naval power was born. After returning to China, Chen Shaokuan became the commander of the navy, and in 1926, when the Nationalist Government began the Northern Expedition, Chen Shaokuan led the fleet to join the revolutionary army in Guangzhou.

After that, Chen Shaokuan repeatedly proposed to the chairman of the committee to divide the theater of operations and build 20 aircraft carriers, but the chairman did not want to pay for it, but he wanted to win the hearts of the people, so he kept delaying it for five years and ten years, with no time limit.

Chen Shaokuan once submitted to the Admiralty the disposition of the British fleet that he had summarized when he was studying in the navy, and he also discussed with everyone the plan for combining the navy and the air force for combat. However, the chairman was not interested in his plan, and only appeased him with a boastful mouth. The chairman of the NPC National Committee has put all his thoughts on the air force, and he has always been unwilling to spend enough military spending on the navy, making it difficult for Chen Shaokuan's dream of an aircraft carrier to become a reality.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Shaokuan led the naval fleet to fight in Jiangyin. The Japanese army used aircraft carriers to dispatch hundreds of aircraft, and the main ships of the Chinese Navy were all annihilated, and all the funds were wiped out, and the Chinese Navy was completely reduced to an underwater guerrilla force. After this battle, Chen Shaokuan was even more eager to build an aircraft carrier.

After the war, he again proposed the establishment of an aircraft carrier group, envisaging the division of China's coastal area into four naval regions, the first from Andong in Liaoning to Chengshantou on the Shandong Peninsula, the second from Chengshantou to the mouth of the Yangtze River, the third from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Shantou in Guangdong, and the fourth from Shantou to the Sino-Vietnamese border. Each district will set up a coastal defense fleet with five aircraft carriers, and a total of 20 aircraft carriers will be needed along the coast of the country, each costing 1.8 billion yuan.

Many people, including the chairman, were dumbfounded by this planning idea. Chen Shaokuan said: "The state cannot save this money. ”

But the question is, where can the national government at this time get this money out? Although Chen Shaokuan's idea is good, it is purely a fool's dream.

The appearance of Jiang Haoran shocked China to have a large shipyard in the United States, which not only produced aircraft carriers and ships, but also leased their own aircraft carriers to the United States, which was undoubtedly shocking good news for Chen Shaokuan, and the "aircraft carrier dream" for many years was revived overnight.

And the reason why Jiang Haoran admires him is not because of everything he has done for the Chinese Navy, nor because of the gimmick of later generations to promote him as "the first person in China's aircraft carrier", but because he only has the navy in his eyes, no politics, and at the beginning of the civil war, he refused to participate and resigned decisively to go into hiding.

Jiang Haoran still went out to greet the two adults in the end, and he could not listen to anyone's words, but he still had to listen to Chen Chen's words, not because Chen Chen was his quasi-father-in-law, but because he knew that Chen Chen was the person who really thought about him, and he also believed that in order to ease the gap between him and the chairman of the committee, Chen Chen must have spent a lot of effort.

The arrival of the two will not change the battle situation, and it is impossible for Zhou Zhirou, the commander of the Air Force, to command the Air Force, in this regard, Jiang Haoran still believes in Ye Zhaofeng more, because Zhou Zhirou's set is completely outdated, of course, the more than 100 fighters he brought still gave Jiang Haoran a lot of confidence.

As for Chen Shaokuan, it is purely soy sauce now, and the expeditionary force does not have a navy.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, what Jiang Haoran had feared finally happened, and the Japanese air force began to frantically sail into the skies over Burma, and the largest and most tragic air battle over Burma began.

First, the Fifth and Second Flying Regiments of the Japanese Army Aviation Regiment, with nearly 500 fighters and bombers, attacked from multiple routes and at multiple points in an attempt to tear apart the air defense line of the Sino-Mimelian coalition forces, but they were all successfully intercepted.

In the afternoon, however, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Japanese navy's carrier-based planes joined the battle, and three or four hundred carrier-based planes were thrown into the battlefield at one time, and the air defense line of the Sino-Michiang coalition forces was suddenly swept away by Japanese planes, and more than 100 planes rushed from Kunming's Wujiaba airfield were thrown into the air battle, but they still could not stop the Japanese offensive.

Jiang Haoran hurriedly called Stilwell, asking the US navy to increase its naval attack to ease the pressure over Myanmar. But then Stilwell called back, it was not that the United States did not do its best, but that the Japanese army seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and the four combined fleets composed of eight aircraft carriers were cruising between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

Jiang Haoran was a little dumbfounded, knowing that all this was because of the consequences of leakage, the Japanese army not only made preparations for land defense, but also made corresponding adjustments in the navy, after all, Jiang Haoran's hand was not the first time to play, and the Japanese army would think of this even if it was a pig.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of Japanese planes appeared over Yingduo and Ruigu, and the forward positions on both sides of the expeditionary force were suddenly subjected to an unprecedented catastrophe, with fighter planes strafing back and forth, bombers diving and bombing, and almost the entire forward positions on both sides of the strait groaned under artillery fire.

At this time, the entire steel cable bridge had been paved with wooden planks, and the new 38th Division had already begun to cross the river at full speed, and Jiang Haoran was originally planning to drive all the new 38th Division to the opposite bank before the arrival of enemy planes.

But who knows, the enemy planes will not come sooner or later, but they will come at this juncture. Aerial bombs rained down on the river, and the monstrous waves on both sides of the bridge simply put the whole bridge in a flood as if it were hidden in the water column, and the bridge shook violently, a large number of soldiers rolled down from the bridge deck and fell into the surging river, and the Inovady River, which is known as a goose feather that could not float, once the soldiers fell into the water, it was equivalent to declaring death.

But the biggest threat is not the bombs, the bridge deck is covered with wooden planks, even if the bombs hit the bridge, they will smash through the planks and fall into the river, will not form an explosion on the bridge deck, the main casualties are only from shrapnel and shock waves.
