Chapter 035: Where is Chiang Kai-shek running
Qin and the United States reached a consensus on jointly attacking the Japanese, and the two sides reached a series of cooperation, and the most important thing for Wang Hanzhang was the fleet.
After Wang Hanzhang got the promise of the United States, he immediately had an aircraft carrier fleet to give him, and although Wang Hanzhang also attached importance to the navy, he didn't even have a small gunboat, and it was useless to attach importance to it, and the navy had no talent at all.
I thought that after the defeat of Thailand, at least Thailand still has a few warships, although it is not good, but you can cultivate talents first, but the devil is shrewd and hateful, and when he left, he also took away all the Thai Navy and Thailand's gold reserves, and Wang Hanzhangkong had to rejoice. However, although Wang Hanzhang does not have a navy, China still has it.
The formation of the Republic of China Navy in 1937 refers to the formation of the Chinese Navy at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War after the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident in July 1937.
When the Nanjing government was established in 1928, Jiang Zhongzheng, chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, appointed Chen Shaokuan as the Minister of the Navy and commander-in-chief, and before the outbreak of war in 1937, the four fleets were organized, with the main task of covering the army's defensive operations. From August to November 1937, when the Battle of Songhu was launched between China and Japan, there were about 70 large and small ships and a small fleet of about 70,000 tons with a total tonnage.
There are no technical rules to speak of in the organization of ships of these four fleets, and the only reason for influencing the establishment is naval factions. Since the Qing Dynasty, the navy has been divided into a line of its own -- the Fujian system, but after the Republic of China, due to the existence of political regimes in various places, in order to build the army, there were also side branches independent of the "orthodox" navy, such as the Qingdao Naval Academy or the Northeast Navy, and at the same time they were absorbed by the central government, they did not accept the result of being annexed by the Fujian system, and finally the fleet was assigned under the political twist, the first fleet and the second fleet were the Fujian navy, the third fleet was the Northeast navy, and the fourth fleet was the Guangdong navy. The budgets and personnel of the factions are not interconnected, and there are occasional skirmishes between them.
Because most of the large ships were old ships inherited during the Qing Dynasty, and the small ships were not strong enough in combat, some of them sank themselves when the war broke out, blocking the shipping lanes, and a small number of modern ships were completely destroyed by the Japanese "Shina Fleet" after September, and only a small number of gunboats were sent to the Sichuan area to take refuge, and there were also a few special ones such as the Yat-sen ship that was sunk and was salvaged and recovered by the Japanese army, and returned to the Republic of China to serve after the war.
In the original history, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the navy of the Republic of China had been completely lost, but a large number of personnel were still there, but in 1942 and 1943, the Japanese army launched a series of Yangtze River battles such as the Battle of Changsha, and the few remaining navies were also put into battle, and the personnel losses were extremely heavy.
Only a few hundred experienced personnel remained, and the navy of a huge country had only a few hundred. However, it should have changed history for Wang Hanzhang, so these navies were proud to keep a certain number of backbones, Wang Hanzhang secretly sent people to investigate, and there were two or three thousand naval personnel under the control of the Republic of China in various parts of China, but I don't know how many of them could get on the ship.
But no matter what, it is much stronger than Wang Hanzhang, and technical matters can be solved through training, but the lack of talents who understand the navy is the key to restricting the development of the navy, and there are still a few people in China who understand the navy.
At least Wang Hanzhang knows Sa Zhenbing, but he has already gone home to retire in old age, but Chen Shaokuan is still there, he is young and strong, and he has a deep understanding of the navy, which is the talent that China lacks the most, and it is the talent that the Qin State and the Chinese nation lack the most.
Chang'an (formerly Mandalay, Myanmar) has set up a telephone line from Chongqing to Chongqing, and Wang Hanzhang can now communicate with Chongqing by phone about general matters.
Wang Hanzhang also had a direct phone call with Chiang Kai-shek before, Chiang Kai-shek felt sour every time he talked to Wang Hanzhang on the phone, originally the emperor of the Qin State was his son Chiang Ching-kuo today, so the first time he called, Chiang Kai-shek also asked Wang Hanzhang sourly should he be called His Majesty the Emperor or what?
"Bench, how are you doing lately?" Wang Hanzhang greeted Chiang Kai-shek on the phone.
"The body is still very strong, how to pull it, what are you looking for me this time, you haven't paid me back yet, you haven't paid me back yet, let's pay it back first."
Wang Hanzhang smiled: "Don't get excited, I left the 300,000 expeditionary force for your own good?" ”
Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile: "I detained 300,000 of the most elite troops, and said it was good for me, so what did you say about me?" ”
Wang Hanzhang chuckled: "First of all, these 300,000 troops are all raised by me at my expense and food, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition is also mine, and you will be given a more elite army when you see it." Second, the purpose of leaving these 300,000 troops behind is to ensure the purity of the army, so as not to be tainted and corrupted by those factions in the country, right, you said that after I defeat Indonesia next year, I plan to be the emperor of Jingguo, that place is very clean, and I can't get those ** elements in the country to Indonesia, if that's the case, Indonesia will become the second China, and you don't want to, right? So when the time comes, the expeditionary force will be the best army to defend Indonesia, most of these officers are your old students, and their personalities are also good, they must finally be the Jiang dynasty, hehe......"
When Lao Jiang heard that Wang Hanzhang was going to defeat Indonesia to his son Jianguo as the emperor, the tears filled his eyes, if the people below were like this to Wang Hanzhang, today's China would not be like this, thinking of the selfishness of the people below, and then compared with Wang Hanzhang, Wang Hanzhang was like the Buddha and the Jade Emperor in Chiang Kai-shek's heart.
Chiang Kai-shek swore that he would never miss another chance, and last time he listened to his woman's words and refused, otherwise his son would already be the emperor, although Song Meiling is very smart, but a woman is a woman after all, with long hair and short knowledge.
However, Chiang Kai-shek is also the leader of the world's great powers, and he will still maintain his demeanor, he said: "Okay, okay, you will say, you just get down to business, right?" ”
Wang Hanzhang said: "The main thing is that I want to knock down Indonesia to the economic country or you to establish a country, of course, when the time comes, whether it is a republic or a monarchy, then you can see and do it yourself, I personally just suggest that the monarchy is better." ”
"But Yinni, you need to land, so you need a navy, but Qin doesn't have a navy, not only does it have no warships, but it doesn't even have people to drive the ship, I have always felt that there is no hope, so I didn't tell you, I'm afraid that I will disappoint you at that time, but today I have solved the problem of the fleet, and now there is a shortage of manpower, if you let people who don't understand it at all to train, I'm afraid it will take at least a year to start, so I thought of the Republic of China Navy, although the warships are gone, but there are still a large number of people in the backbone of the navy, If they are allowed to bring a group of newcomers to training, it should be difficult to form combat effectiveness quickly, and then they can also defeat Indonesia as soon as possible, don't you say? ”
Chiang Kai-shek couldn't believe it: "Do you really want to print Ni?" ”
Wang Hanzhang said: "Of course, this is the best opportunity to expand the living space of our Chinese nation, I don't know when I can wait until I miss it, and I will tell you the bottom of it, Qin State doesn't need to say, I will naturally not let it out if I become the emperor myself." Back then, you didn't agree, and then I became the emperor of Qin, and I needed assistance from all sides, Long Yun was the closest to me, and many, including immigrants, needed to pass through his territory, so I may have given Long Yun Vietnam, and he is now doing his best to help me immigrate, and I can't regret it. Therefore, there is only my Qin State in the Indochina Peninsula, and all the eastern regions are given to Long Yun to establish a state, so there are only Indonesia and the Philippines left, but the Philippines is too far away, we may not be able to land, and it is very difficult to take there, not to mention the big resistance of the United States. ”
"Indonesia is different, now the border of Qin has been pushed to the Malay Peninsula, it is a matter of time before the Malay Peninsula is taken, and Indonesia's Sumatra Island and the Malay Peninsula are only separated by the narrow Strait of Malacca, now I have a fleet, and there are planes in the sky, it is very easy to land, so it is much easier to take down, and when Sumatra Island is taken, then you can continue to attack Java Island and Kalimantan Island, I don't think it is a big problem to take these two islands, and then this will be yours."
While Chiang Kai-shek was pondering, Wang Hanzhang said: "Commission, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future." There are many people who oppose you in China, and you yourself know that in China, you will be a leader for a lifetime, and then you will be gone, not to mention that the forces that oppose you are so strong, you may not be able to be a leader for a lifetime. And if you come to Indonesia to be emperor, it will be yours and your children and grandchildren for generations. ”
"Oops...... Han Zhang, you make me embarrassed? Chiang Kai-shek sighed and said, I don't know if it's a problem of embarrassment for the navy personnel, or a problem of coming to Indonesia to be the emperor, Wang Hanzhang should be Wang Hanzhang calling him the emperor one by one, he feels that the old face can't hang up, although he wants to, but he is embarrassed.
Wang Hanzhang said: "Commission, China will leave it to those red parties and warlords, see what they are capable of, don't others keep saying that you are not good like this or that, and when Indonesia is defeated, when you start anew here, everyone here will be rich and healthy, and the national strength will be strong, who else can say anything at that time, others will only think that it is those selfish warlords who drag you back, the number of naval personnel as soon as possible, I estimate that there are about 10,000 people, and that is only the personnel on the ship, This aircraft carrier should have more than 2,000 people. ”
"What, and aircraft carriers?" Chiang Kai-shek said in surprise.
Wang Hanzhang said flatly: "Of course, if there is not a fleet with aircraft carriers, I will talk about Yinni there, without aircraft carriers, I am at most sure to take Sumatra, Java and Kalimantan Island without aircraft carriers I am afraid it will not be so easy to fight." ”
Wang Hanzhang knew that Chiang Kai-shek was thin-skinned, so he emphasized again: "Commission, you can think about the future name of the country now, and the elder brother Jingguo is your only son, let him come to Qin to get along with the expeditionary force more, after all, it will be him in the future, and the throne will be his." ”――
