On April 4th, the sunshine in Fangchenggang in early summer was warm and calm. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Dingyuan", "Zhenyuan", "Huashan" and other large and small warships moored on the wharf of the military port have been hoisted full of flags, and the officers and men on each ship are also dressed in neat military uniforms, and they are energetically standing in line on both sides of the warship. At about 9 o'clock in the morning, in the majestic and passionate military music, Xiao Mubai came to the scene.

"Chairman!" Qu Tongfeng walked up to Xiao Mubai and saluted.

Today's Qu Tongfeng, dressed in a white admiral's dress, with two gold stars on top of the yellow background epaulettes, under the sun, his face and mood reflect each other, and he is extremely happy. Behind him was a group of admirals who were also dressed in general's uniforms, with their spirits flying and their eyebrows dancing. They had been waiting in the military port for a long time, and at this moment, when they saw Xiao Mubai and several other military and political dignitaries who came with them, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

As far as Xiao Mubai is concerned, there are many new faces in this group of admirals, in addition to Qu Tongfeng, Ma Xiang, and Huang Zhongying, there are few old faces, and the rest are like Rear Admiral He Pinzhang, chief of staff of the Navy, Rear Admiral Fu Jianlin, political commissar of the South China Sea Fleet, Rear Admiral Qiu Baoren, deputy commander of the fleet, Rear Admiral Xie Baozhang, chief of staff of the fleet, and Rear Admiral Lin Yingqi, president of the Navy's Defense City Ship Academy, and other new faces, which he has seen for the first time. After a brief exchange of greetings with a few people, accompanied by the majestic march of the People's Army, the handover and lining-up ceremony of the new warships of the Navy officially began.

At the ceremony, after Xiao Mubai made a speech, he officially announced to the navy the name and number of the newly handed over warships, and personally awarded military flags to Senior Colonel Li Dingxin, captain of the "Dingyuan" ship, and Senior Colonel Xu Zhenpeng, captain of the "Zhenyuan" ship.

The South China Sea Fleet is now dominated by the battleships "Dingyuan", "Zhenyuan" and "Huashan", supplemented by heavy cruisers "Chengdu", "Kunming", "Xi'an" and "Nanning", plus a number of destroyers and submarines, as well as a number of fast torpedo boats, which basically constitute the scale of the Chinese Navy today. Although it cannot be compared with the great powers in terms of quantity and tonnage, for the current Chinese Navy, these new warships that can carry out ocean-going operations are the essence of today's name. At this commissioning ceremony, the navy gathered most of its capital ships, and it did not fail to show off its strength to people from all sides.

Xiao Mubai stood in the bridge of the flagship battleship "Dingyuan" and looked at these warships practicing mobile formations on the sea, and his heart could be said to have a lot of emotion for a while. The Chinese Navy in front of you can be regarded as having gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes. Since the establishment of the Fujian Naval Division and the Beiyang Naval Division in the former Qing Dynasty, although this fleet has experienced the humiliation of defeat in the Battle of Mawei and the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle on the way, it has not sunk, but has been constantly struggling tenaciously. From the purchase of Haizi-class cruisers such as "Haitian" and "Haiqi" around the year of Gengzi, and then to the later order of three training ships such as "Feihong", although the scale of this navy has not swelled much, it is undeniable that their strength has been slowly recovering, and they have not been damaged in the storms of the Xinhai year. It is precisely because of this foundation that after taking it over from the former Qing Dynasty, he was able to carry out large-scale expansion. Whatever the future holds for the Chinese Navy, there is no doubt that today is definitely a turning point for its redevelopment.

Just when Xiao Mubai was standing on the "Dingyuan" and looking at these warships belonging to the People's Army Navy, in the dock not far away, there were also many people who were invited to participate in the ceremony looking at the moored warships not far away, cheering loudly.

"The rise of the navy is just around the corner!" Lin Yingqi held the binoculars in both hands, looked at the brand-new fleet on the sea in the distance, and said loudly to the naval colleagues beside him.

"Dingyuan'!" Zhenyuan'! That one, it's..." Sa Zhenbing, who was standing beside Lin Yingqi, was also holding the telescope with both hands at this time. Although he had already taken the "Dingyuan" to sea once yesterday, he was still very excited when he saw these huge ships again at this moment. While muttering in a low voice, the corners of his eyes were already a little moist unconsciously, and his mood was complicated with a little excitement.

The faces of these admirals standing beside and near Sa Zhenbing were full of hope and tears, and the loud shouts and excited figures were constantly beating in his mind. For many years, for many years, the Chinese have never seen their warships appear so majestically in front of them, they have never seen the world's navies renewed, they have never seen the navies of great powers rampage in Chinese waters, and they have never seen ... But today, the huge Chinese warships moored here and the naval flag raised high have finally rewritten this history. In the future, they will be the hope of the Chinese Navy! It is the hope of China!

did not mention Sa Zhenbing's thoughts, but said that at the end of the ceremony, Xiao Mubai inspected the navy honor guard, and after making a speech, he quickly returned to the guest house to rest. He didn't stay in Guangxi for long, and the next day, he took a special train back to Chengdu. The autonomous government now controls most of China, and as the supreme leader, he has a large number of official documents waiting for him to deal with every day, and now he has not much personal time.

The ceremony of the new ship of the People's Army Navy is over, but what it brings to the Chinese is not only an enduring topic and excitement, but most importantly, it instantly enhances the national pride of 40,000 Chinese. You know, this thing began to gradually and quietly drain from the Chinese after the ** war in 1840. The current Communist Progressive Party is like a huge magnet, first with the victory against Britain, and then with the huge ships of the navy, and slowly and gradually cohesion the will of hundreds of millions of ordinary people in China.

In this era when giant ships and cannons are power, for the Chinese, the new "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" two ships have become the real stars of this era, and almost tomorrow there will be domestic newspapers carrying news related to these two battleships. These news also made even the most ordinary Chinese realize that their country's navy seems to be really beginning to grow and develop.

Of course, the entry into service of a large number of new warships of the Chinese Navy and their inclusion in the sequence of operational establishment are not only shocking to the Chinese themselves.

As far as Japan, which has long become a world naval power, as a regional hegemon, the increase in the strength of any naval fleet in the Far East will cause it deep uneasiness, not to mention China, which it has long coveted and has ill intentions. In particular, the People's Army Navy, which was controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, which was extremely hostile to the Japanese Empire. Therefore, within a few days, the intelligence department of the Japanese Navy obtained basically complete information through various channels. This information has also become the main reference basis for the British naval department to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the "Dingyuan" and its sister ships. The information is as follows: the standard displacement is 29,000 tons, the maximum speed is 24 knots, the maximum range is 8,600 nautical miles at 12 knots, the length of the ship is 190 meters, the width is 30 meters, the draft is 9.2 meters, and it is equipped with nine 380 mm guns, and the rest are several small-caliber guns, without torpedo tubes......

The British Admiralty combined the intelligence obtained in the United States and the information obtained by the Japanese Navy to finally draw a conclusion to the "Dingyuan" class battleship: A new type of battleship with excellent design and superb combat efficiency, powered by oil-fired boilers, although with the inferior shooting technology of the Chinese Navy, it is not able to exert the power of the threatening nine cannons at all, but this is still a battleship comparable to the "Queen Elizabeth" class battleship......

This conclusion immediately aroused the vigilance of the great powers, especially the navies of Britain and Japan, which had such a huge warship. The British Navy was at a point of view, for at this time they had entered into a naval arms race with the German Navy to build dreadnoughts, and in a state where the Germans built one capital ship and the British would build two in response, they obviously had no energy to take care of this delicate imbalance in the Far East for the time being. Although the Chinese warships are excellent, the British Empire's "Queen Elizabeth" class is also not vegetarian, and when the Germans are solved, there will naturally be a time when you look good.

The British can not care for the time being, but the Japanese are different, and the Chinese named the new warships "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan", and the meaning is self-evident. However, today's Japanese Navy, whether it is the "Satsuma" class and "Hanoi" class battleships in service, or the "Kongoi" class battlecruisers installed and built in British shipyards, their main guns are not as good as the "Dingyuan" class battleships of the Shina Navy. They simply couldn't imagine that the Shina Navy, which had been trampled on by the Great Japanese Navy, would have a day of resurrection, and fortunately, it was fortunate that it had steadily overwhelmed the Shina people in terms of the total tonnage of warships and the quality of officers and men, otherwise it would have been really troublesome. As a result, the Japanese navy seemed to be facing a great enemy, and while speeding up the pace of building warships in the shipyards, they began to exert constant pressure on the cabinet to design and build various new warships, and at the same time protested to the government of the United States of America.

Of course, the U.S. government has ignored the clamor of your little Japan. Frankly speaking, the emergence of such a situation has long been expected by the US government. If it is said that Xiao Mubai has introduced such a big thing as a warship from a shipping company under the Huamei Group, the US government does not know, and it is impossible at all. The reason why they have turned a blind eye to the flow of these warships to China is that the Japanese navy on the other side of the ocean is no longer satisfied with being a powerful man in the Far East, which has made the Americans feel deeply jealous and uneasy Chinese. Americans have always liked to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, counting the bills while watching the two countries fight across the Pacific Ocean, which is what they are most happy to see.

Of course, no matter how the great powers and countries move in the end, for the Chinese, their morale and morale have really improved, and all this has more or less had a great impact on all forces on the land of China.
