Chapter 1674 A trip to Jiangnan

Shanghai, Jiangnan Shipyard Wharf. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since An Yi was going to preside over the launching ceremony of the ship, in order to ensure safety, the shipyard was not open to the public today, and the launching ceremony was attended by officials of the South China Navy Department and officers and men of the Navy's Poyang Lake Fleet, in addition to representatives of the Republic of China Navy who were invited to attend the ceremony.

An Yi, Yang Jie and others came to the center of the viewing platform in front of the dry dock, and at a glance, the four "Huangpu River" class destroyers, whose hull construction had been basically completed, were lying quietly in the dry dock, and a huge colored ball filled with hydrogen was floating on the top of each ship.

The guests on the viewing platform came to An Yi to salute or greet him, and Chen Shaokuan, Minister of the Navy of the National Government, had a bright smile on his face:

"General An, I really envy you for building four destroyers in one go, it's amazing!"

An Yi shook hands with Chen Shaokuan cordially, and said modestly: "Where, where, there are some small-tonnage warships, and there are many warships of several thousand tons under Minister Chen's command, which may not be eye-catching!" ”

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War last year, An Yi was sunk to block the main channel of the Yangtze River, resulting in the inability of Japan's superior naval fleet to enter the Yangtze River, and the Central Naval Fleet, which was originally going to sink and block the river, was also saved.

Before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese Navy consisted of the Central Navy, the Northern Navy, and the Guangdong Navy, with the Central Navy under the jurisdiction of the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, the Practice Fleet, the Coast Guard, and the Hydrographic Bureau, the Northern Navy under the jurisdiction of the Third Fleet, and the Guangdong Navy under the Guangdong Provincial River Defense Command.

Among them, the Central Navy is under the direct control of the Navy Department of the Executive Yuan of the Nationalist Government, and is mainly deployed in the Yangtze River and the East China Sea, the Northern Navy is funded by the Political Affairs Committee of the Jicha and the Qingdao Municipal Government, and mainly operates in Qingdao and the Bohai Sea, and the Guangdong Navy is under the control of the Guangdong Government, and mainly operates in the coastal areas of Guangdong and the Pearl River. Each navy is independent, with its own fleet, school, shipyard, marines, etc.

After the outbreak of the war, in order to prevent Japan from landing in Qingdao, the Third Fleet sank all ships in the large and small ports of Qingdao. The Guangdong Navy held the Pearl River, and the Central Navy assembled near Nanjing.

By the end of the Battle of Songhu, the Central Naval System was intact.

At present, the First Fleet has the cruisers Hairong, Haichou, and Ninghai, the gunboats Yixian, Yongjian, Yongji, Zhongshan, Datong, and Ziqiang, the destroyer Health, and the transport ships Hua'an, Anding, and Ke'an.

The flagship of the Second Fleet is the cruiser Pinghai, which was ordered from the Harima shipyard in Japan and entered service in March last year, and also has the gunboats Chuguan, Chuqian, Chutong, Chutai, Chuyou, Jiangyuan, Jiangzhen, Xianning, Yongsui, Minquan, Desheng, and Weisheng, the gunboats Jiang Xi and Jiang Kun, and the torpedo boats Hu Peng, Hu Yuan, Hu Ying, and Hu Falcon.

The practice fleet included the cruisers Yingrui and Tongji;

The Coast Guard Department has jurisdiction over the gunboats Chengsheng, Yisheng, Yongsheng, Gongsheng, Shunsheng, Rensheng, Jiangning, Haining, Sui, Weining, Suning, Chongning, Yining, Changning, Zhengning, and Funing.

These ships, with a displacement of between 1900 and 4300 tons for cruisers, 247 to 1550 tons for gunboats, 400 tons for destroyers, 50 to 350 tons for gunboats and gunboats, and 96 tons for torpedo boats, are a decisive force on the surface of the Yangtze River.

Chen Shaokuan naturally knew that if he hadn't been for An Yi, the Minister of the Navy, he would have become the commander of the light pole, so he respected An Yi very much: "General An, my ships are also playing prestige in the Yangtze River, but if you want to enter the ocean, I'm afraid it's not enough for the Japanese Navy to plug your teeth." On the contrary, General An worked hard to build warships and develop the navy by his own shipyard, and his future achievements are limitless! ”

"There's no way, if we don't work hard, we'll never be able to catch up with the great powers, but the navy is a money-eating thing, I'm tightening my belly and living now!"

When An Yi said this, Cheng Guang also came to the viewing platform, An Yi apologized to Chen Shaokuan, and took Yang Jie, Chen Yu and Shen Fengdao to meet him.

"Hello Chairman!"

Since it was a formal occasion, Cheng Guang saluted An Yi with a smile on his face. The first artillery of the South China Navy was very beautiful, and the Siamese Navy was completely annihilated, and now four more destroyers have been launched, and the naval strength has been strengthened again, making his whole person look radiant.

An Yi patted Cheng Guang on the shoulder: "Cheng Guang, it seems that I really picked the right person when I chose you to be the commander of the river defense, in the past few years, from the river defense force to the Poyang Lake fleet, and then to the current South China Navy, we have taken one step at a time, and finally come to this day, as long as this continues, our navy will always go to the ocean one day!" ”

Yang Jie admired Cheng Guang, the commander of the South China Navy, and An Yi had already agreed with him that he would serve as deputy chief of general staff after arriving in South China, on the same rank as Yang Fei. In the future, there will be an indispensable opportunity to deal with the navy, and after taking a seat at the viewing platform, the two chatted with great interest.

The "Huangpu River" class destroyer built by Jiangnan Shipyard this time has a displacement of 1,000 tons, a length of 100 meters, a total width of 9.35 meters, a draft of 3.30 meters, two steam turbines, four heavy oil boilers, two-shaft propulsion, a power of 19,000 horsepower, a maximum speed of 27.8 knots, and a cruising capacity of 3,500 nautical miles / 18 knots.

According to the plan, the armament includes three M1933 100 mm high-level dual-purpose guns, one turret at the bow and one aft of the battleship, and eight M1935 37 mm automatic anti-aircraft guns. On the central axis of the stern, one triple torpedo tube is equipped, and the other two twin torpedo tubes are equipped on the sides of the ship. For anti-submarine and anti-torpedo needs, it will also be equipped with four triple 25-mm machine guns, two deep bomb launch tracks, and two delivery machines.

Chen Shaokuan walked over again and asked in a low voice to An Yi, who was carefully observing the battleship with a telescope: "I heard that the destroyer built this time is not equipped with large-caliber main guns?" ”

An Yi put down the binoculars and smiled: "The 100 mm cannon is enough, if you use a delayed flowering shell and explode near the ship, the killing of the crew is no worse than that of a large-caliber heavy artillery." In the future, naval warfare will be a three-dimensional battle below the sea surface, at sea level and in the air, and the era of decisive victory by giant artillery no longer exists. ”

Chen Shaokuan was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and blurted out: "In this way, in the future, the South China Navy will focus on developing a warship formation with aircraft carriers as the core and submarines as the core?" ”

An Yi was a little surprised by Chen Shaokuan's keen sense of smell and nodded slightly.

Chen Shaokuan looked envious: "As early as eleven years ago, when I was the commander of the Second Fleet of the Navy, I once wrote a book to build China's own aircraft carrier, but now, the dream is still far away!" ”

At this moment, the drums in the shipyard rang out, followed by enthusiastic cheers, and it turned out that the time had come, and the launching ceremony of the battleship was about to begin.

As the music of "My Motherland" sounded, all the attendees stood up and paid tribute to An Yi who walked to the front of the viewing platform.

After Wei Zilang, director of the Jiangnan Shipyard, who presided over the ceremony, introduced the basic situation of this class of warships, An Yi took the Type I automatic rifle from the hands of the guards, aimed at the colorful balloons fluttering above the four warships, and "popped-" Four consecutive gunshots rang out, and the balloons exploded in response, and countless colorful ribbons contained in them flew down, scattering all over the dock and the battleship.

Then, An Yi stepped down from the viewing platform and threw bottles of champagne towards the bow of the boat, and after the bottles broke, white foam splashed everywhere, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

After An Yi finished throwing the bottle, all the attendees faced the new ship, saluted and applauded warmly, and then the cable was cut, and under the fluttering colorful flowers and ribbons, the four battleships slowly slid into the water one after another.

At the end of the ceremony, An Yi was supposed to give an exciting speech, but the Jiangnan Shipyard was adjacent to Shanghai, the personnel were complex, and there were many Japanese spies, so for safety reasons, this procedure was canceled, and Cheng Yi briefly talked about the significance of the launch of the four warships, and the whole ceremony ended.

At noon, An Yi had lunch with Wei Zilang, the director of the shipyard, engineers and workers' representatives, and in the afternoon, he took the train from Shanghai to Hangzhou to meet with Huang Shaohong, chairman of Zhejiang Province.

......

The Tan Mansion on the shore of the West Lake, the war that occurred in the southwestern suburbs of Hangzhou at the end of last year did not cause damage here, and the flower beds, lawns, and ancient trees still maintain their original appearance.

An Yi, Huang Shaohong, and Yang Jie sat in the pavilion on the embankment of the West Lake, whispering, and sitting on the lawn in the distance with Huang Shaohong's confidante Xin Xin, exchanging their cognition of vocal music, and from time to time there were a few pleasant songs, which were pleasing to the ear.

An Yi continued the topic in Wusongkou yesterday and asked: "Geng Guang, is there any basis for your statement yesterday that the party-state may fall into the quagmire of deeper and more turbid factional struggles in the future?" ”

Yang Jie glanced at Huang Shaohong and said to An Yi: "The chairman's intention is good, but he didn't find that he exalted the Three Youth League too much, which inevitably leaves people with the impression that the Three Youth League is like a 'new favorite', *** like an 'abandoned woman', 'Party members look at the League members, it seems to be a new enemy; League members look at party members as outdated elements'. The chairman of the committee has a new force for the Three Youth Leagues, and the members of the Three Youth Leagues cannot help but have an inflated self-awareness. They boast of 'new life' and 'new cells', openly ridicule, satirize, and contempt ***, and deliberately spread the remarks of 'the old party and the new league' and 'the league is above everything'. Under the propaganda of the Three Youth League, *** was pushed into a very embarrassing situation, and those who stayed in *** were regarded as decadent and corrupt, and even listed as the object of revolution by the Three Youth League. Tell me, isn't this dismantling your own platform? ”

An Yi agreed: "The organization of *** has long been dominated by the CC department, and the CC department does have an unshirkable responsibility for the lack of party affairs organization. It is precisely because of this that the newly established Three Youth League has been entrusted with the important task of innovating and accumulating disadvantages, and the CC Department can no longer serve as the organizational backbone of the Three Youth League. Based on this consideration, when the principal was preparing for the formation of the Three Youth League, he mainly used the members of the Force Action Club to undertake the task of forming this new organization. ”

Huang Shaohong also tasted it at this time, and shook his head again and again: "It's not proper, it's not proper, in this way, the old factional feud between the CC faction and the Lixing Society before the war will naturally turn into a confrontation and conflict between the party groups." The chairman had hoped to unite and bridge the various factions in the party through the Three Youth Leagues, but the result would have been more intense factional struggles. ”

"yes!"

Yang Jie sighed: "There is a huge lack in the design of the organizational system of the chairman, and the dual-track competition between the Three Youth League and the first youth league will lead to mutual compatibility. In order to build the Three Youth League into a revolutionary organization, the chairman of the committee gave the Three Youth League a political status to operate independently, one is to prevent the old party style and old habits from infiltrating into the new organization, and the other is to avoid the first organizational structure from hindering the new organization.

However, the Three Youth League was established by the resolution of the National Congress, and the subordination of the League to the Party was stipulated in the Party Constitution. From beginning to end, the Three Youth League is not under the jurisdiction of the first organization. The party departments at all levels at the central and local levels have no right to interfere in or intervene in the organization, personnel, and funding of the Three Youth Leagues.

"From the central to the local, the party and caucus have formed a system, and any attempt to bring the Three Youth League under the control of the party will be resisted by the forces of the Lixing Society. At the end of last month, when I had a conversation with Wang Zizhuang, secretary general of the Central Supervision Commission, about the Three Youth League, he said that some members of the Three Youth League openly called for the party to be replaced by the party and the league generals, ignoring their original intention of calling on young people to join the party, which was unacceptable. ”

Huang Shaohong and Yang Jie have been together for many years, worked together during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and later served as the deputy and district captain of the regiment when he was in the Lushan Officer Training Corps.

Yang Jie continued: "Since the Party and the League maintain a dual-track system, competition and contradictions will inevitably arise between them in terms of organizational development. For example, the constitution of the Three Youth League limits the age of the members to between 18 and 38 years old, so that there are only two ways out: either only absorb those middle-aged people who lack vitality and conservative and decrepit old people to join the party; Either compete with the Three Youth Leagues for youth. If you choose the former, it is tantamount to self-destruction.

"Judging from the age structure of the party members before the war, more than 80% of the party members were under the age of thirty-nine. In other words, *** is originally a party with young people as the main force. After the establishment of the Three Youth Leagues, it was tantamount to encroaching on the sphere of influence of the original organization. Naturally, they are not willing to give up, and friction and conflict inevitably arise between parties and groups in the absorption of members. The inevitable result is that the party and the caucus departments, regardless of their age, try their best to absorb new elements, and fight for them by absorption, attack them by contending, and slander them by attacking, thus forming an antagonism between the party and the league. ”

An Yi listened attentively and bowed his head again and again.

Through Yang Jie's simple explanation, An Yi suddenly understood why *** was not as good as *** in the original history, and the two were not opponents of the same level at all in terms of organizational strength.

"In the pre-war operation of local politics, it was mainly the contradictions and conflicts between the party and the government over the struggle for power and resources, but since the establishment of the Three Youth Leagues, they have quickly intervened in the struggle for local power and resources, making the local political ecology more chaotic and complex. The dualistic conflict between the party and the government will inevitably evolve into a clash of the three forces of the party, the government, and the league.

"The chairman of the committee originally hoped that the Three Youth League could reform the accumulated disadvantages of the three youth leagues, but unexpectedly, the various performances of the three youth leagues and the old ones were inseparable from each other in terms of style, and if they continued, it would inevitably be the officialization of the party department and the partyization of the youth league department; The bureaucratization of party members and the membership of party members. Although the Three Youth League is becoming more and more estranged from it in terms of organizational relations, it is getting closer and closer to the parent body in terms of behavior and work style. A three-youth league that originally had the ambition of transforming *** may not be long before it becomes the second object that needs to be transformed. ”

Huang Shaohong felt very heavy: "The struggle between the party and the caucus is one aspect, and the struggle between the party and the government is even more tragic. The Nationalist Government follows the example of the Russian Communist Party in ruling the country by the party, but our ruling by the party is different from the Russian Communist Party in terms of its specific mode of operation. From the central to the local level, the Russian Communist Party has implemented the party's unified leadership, from top to bottom, and power has been concentrated in party committees at all levels. However, we only rule by the party at the central level, and at the local level, the party and the government are separated. The party is only in charge of the party, and the government is only in charge of the government.

"Since local political resources are mainly in the hands of the government, the resources that the party can control are extremely limited. However, the party department is often unwilling to be lonely, and things of coveting and interfering in local administration occur from time to time, and the central government requires local party departments and local governments to supervise each other, which actually lays a legal foundation for the conflict between the party and the government. In the view of the party department, the party's power is above everything else, and since the central government is governed by the party, the local party department should also be above the government, so it is often challenging the government's power and making it difficult to oppose the government. In the eyes of the government, the party department is insignificant, and even regarded as a tumor, and it must be removed as soon as possible. In addition, the education level and quality of local government personnel are generally better than those of local party personnel, which makes it inevitable that the former will look down on the latter. ”

"Well, well said!"

An Yi couldn't help but pat his thigh vigorously: "What Brother Geng Guang and Brother Ji Kuan said made An Yi pause, I was still a little confused about domestic politics before, and when I heard the two of you say this, I suddenly became enlightened." This is also an important reason for me to start again in Nanhua, in contrast, Nanhua is a new place, and the old forces can be pushed to it, like a blank sheet of paper, whatever you want to plan, while in China, the struggle for power between the veterans and the new upstarts, the tilting of various factions in the party and the army, and the sense of powerlessness when you want to do something practical, make people shudder. Brother Ji Kuan, I have asked Brother Geng Guang to come to Nanhua to serve as my chief of staff, would you like to come to Nanhua to help me? ”

Huang Shaohong then understood why An Yi visited him with Yang Jie, and said with some embarrassment: "The chairman of the committee has the grace of knowing me and entrusted him with the important responsibility of the provincial chairman." The party-state may have such and such problems, but isn't it true that my generation of men exists to solve all kinds of difficult contradictions? If everything goes well, what do you want me to do? ”

An Yi's expression was extremely grim: "But time is running out, the current war in Europe will involve more and more countries in the war, and it will eventually evolve into a world war." If you stay in the country, when the relationship between all aspects is straightened out, everyone is almost beaten, and it is time to discuss how to divide the spoils, and you can't afford to delay it! ”

Yang Jie also persuaded: "Since Brother Ji Kuan also understands the complexity of the domestic situation, why don't you simply jump out, engage in a vibrant and vigorous new career, and contribute to the rise of the Chinese nation?" ”

Huang Shaohong still shook his head: "Jiegong treats me as a national soldier, and I repay him as a national soldier." As long as I serve as the chairman of Zhejiang Province for one day, I must handle the work well! Xiao Yi, I know that you are for my good, but I have my own principles of life, please don't force it. ”

"Okay!"

Although An Yi was disappointed in his heart, his face was full of smiles: "We are brothers, I can understand your thoughts." However, I have a suggestion, if the elder brother feels that life in China is not going well in the future, he is welcome to come to Nanhua at any time, and the younger brother will be ready to wait. ”

Huang Shaohong smiled but did not answer, and greeted: "Drinking, drinking, the topic is too heavy, live up to the picturesque beauty of this West Lake!" Why don't I ask Xin Xin to play a song? ”

Seeing this, An Yi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, please ask Xin Xin to accompany you, and let Xuan'er sing a song I wrote for her......"
