Chapter 659: The Navy Begins
After passing through the Suez Canal and entering the Indian Ocean, the voyage of 10,000 miles has been halfway through, and the way home is getting closer and closer, but the work of Yang Yuanzhao and others is getting busier and busier, and the summary and improvement of the fantasy level has entered a considerable moment. ☆ → top ☆ → dot ☆ → small ☆ → said, www.
In the scoring system of the all-in-one machine, the score of the score has increased by 7 points, which does not seem to be much, compared with the previous increase of tens of points, or even hundreds of points, the range is really too small, but Yang Yuanzhao knows how hard-won these 7 points are.
As far as the strength is concerned, the previous design drawings, has brought the strength of the fantasy level into play to a certain degree, the more to a certain level and height, the more difficult it is to improve, a lot of small modifications, almost changing the number of decimal places, it is hundreds of modifications, so that the performance of the empty phase level has undergone a lot of changes, especially in the construction, many advanced concepts of later generations, and even computers, have been used in it, through a large number of calculations, to calculate the best construction process, It can give full play to the manpower advantages of the northwest and increase the construction period under the premise of the best.
Yang Yuanzhao got a perfect fantasy level, and also got the complete construction drawings, the estimated construction period, than the king-level construction period is much less, as long as all aspects keep up, such as docks, materials, all kinds of accessories, if there are no major problems, the fantasy class will use the fastest time to launch, is not expected to exceed 1 year and 3 months, which includes the construction of the dock. Prepare until after launching. It is even possible when entering the water. All the equipment is complete.
The experience of Fabian and others, coupled with the computer and Yang Yuanzhao's vision in later generations, there are not many places where the whole ship needs to be adjusted, many of which have been changed in place in the early stage, especially the scores in the all-in-one machine, which gave Yang Yuanzhao confidence, so that the time for sea trials and weapon debugging in the later stage will be greatly reduced, speeding up the service time of this ship.
It looks more and more perfect. Getting stronger and stronger fantasy level, Yang Yuanzhao couldn't help but think about what it would be like when he went back almost every day, since 1895, China's navy has been broken its backbone, and even the Beiyang Naval Division, which was once ranked among the top in the world, has lost its roots after losing to Japan in 1895. It became an empty shell, and the Beiyang Naval Division behind it was only a naval division, not a navy, and a naval division that could only operate in the near sea. China does not have a navy that really goes deep into the ocean.
From the moment he met the Haiqi in Shanghai, Yang Yuanzhao began to come into contact with the sailors, and he had the plan to rebuild the navy in his heart. Cheng Biguang, the captain of the Haiqi, is a key point of his friendship. After the first meeting in Shanghai, the follow-up time. He has always funded the Haiqi and the sailor, and the two sides have established a good relationship, and Cheng Biguang has even been invited to the northwest several times, and he is full of praise for the development of the northwest.
However, in 1911, after the revolution, Beiyang and the revolutionary party were opposed, and both sides were courting the Beiyang Navy, which Cheng Biguang was inclined to the northwest, but there was no port in the northwest, and there was no outlet to the sea, no matter how strong the navy was, it was impossible to go ashore, which formed a great disagreement. Shanghai was retained as a special area, and the Beiyang Naval Division represented by Cheng Biguang was also part of this balance of power, with the support of the northwest, so that the Haiqi and other cruisers of the three seas could gain a foothold in Shanghai, and military supplies and other things were also supplied by the northwest.
The future naval plan, the seeds left by the three seas and the Beiyang naval division of the old era, are very important, they are the foundation of the Navy's start, without these skilled, modern naval training personnel, even if it is really given 100 battleships and aircraft carriers, the Northwest may not be able to play a role, the navy, always has more technical equipment, high requirements for personnel, the army can issue a gun, casually train to go into battle, but the navy, without the necessary training, recruits go directly to the battlefield, I am afraid that before the battle is fought, the ship will sink first.
Fortunately, in addition to them, Yang Yuanzhao is also prepared, in the agreement reached by Germany, in the package agreement of Germany's support for Qingdao shipyard, there is also the construction of the naval academy, itself in Qingdao, Germany has a simple Western academy, also has a seafarer course, but the number is not large, this time a proviso, is to expand the scale of this school, from a simple school, into a comprehensive college, by the East Asian Fleet and Germany to send instructors, to lay the foundation of the naval professional school.
These are the solutions to the current problems, not the way to last, unlike the army, China does not have a figure equivalent to Jiang Baili, imagine like the Northwest Military Academy, from a poor and white, directly pop out of 3000, 5000 graduates a year, it is almost impossible, at most can only expand from the scale of a few dozen people, to the scale of a few hundred people, among them, it is also necessary to buy some old-fashioned ships, as training ships, the annual investment is huge, but the output is relatively small.
These can only solve the urgent need, at most a group of trained soldiers, plus the foundation of the previous naval division, may be able to support a basic fleet, let alone compared with the British, even compared with neighboring Japan, it can't be compared, unless another way is found.
Airplane, this is probably the only way Yang Yuanzhao thought of, but unfortunately in this era, even if you have the ability to build an aircraft carrier, there is no way to solve the many problems of aircraft carriers, aircraft carriers have greater requirements for carrier-based aircraft and seafarers, a little negligence, that is, the consequences of aircraft destruction and death, and damage to battleships, there is really no way for the time being, but land-based bombers can be engaged, with the strength of the northwest engine, plus the materials of the integrated aircraft, to get out the bombers in the middle and late stages of World War II, and even high-power four engines, Even an eight-round bomber can be possible, and under the integration of heaven and sea, at least the defense of the sea frontier is no problem.
Starting from the Jiangnan Shipyard, Yang Yuanzhao paid great attention to gathering some naval forces, which of course was indispensable to the help of Cheng Biguang, Cheng Biguang was born in Zhongshan, Guangdong, graduated from Fujian Shipbuilding College, which was the only school in old China to train naval demobilized personnel, most of the graduates were from Fujian or Guangdong, among them, a small number of them entered the naval division, and even Cheng Biguang himself participated in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War.
After the first afternoon, the Beiyang Naval Division was hit hard, outstanding talents died, escaped, only a very small part continued to gain a foothold in the Naval Division, the rest, or changed careers, or left, some even went to farming, some of Cheng Biguang's classmates, there were also a lot of poverty, after knowing Yang Yuanzhao's thoughts, he immediately introduced a lot, in a few years of mutual exchanges, Cheng Biguang knew very well what kind of strength Yang Yuanzhao had, he said that he wanted to take them in, and he would definitely give them a way.
When Yang Yuanzhao left Qingdao, the final number of people admitted was 2,152, of which 17 had studied abroad, 24 had served as officials at the level of management and belt, and the remaining soldiers at all levels, the number varied, these are the backbone core.
These plus Cheng Biguang's Three Seas Fleet, the current Chinese naval personnel, there are so many, there may be some missing, and some will be collected in the future, but only these are added together, and the assessment standard is slightly relaxed, and there are only about 5,000 people, according to the specifications of more than 1,000 people on a battleship, that is, the number of 5 battleships.
In fact, it is only a battleship, this is absolutely not good, according to the most basic arrangement in Europe, two battleship cores, two heavy ships, four to six light ships, about ten destroyers, a number of submarines, forming a complete fleet, not comparable to the British and German ocean fleet, but it is also fully functional, compared with neighboring Japan, it will not be without the power to fight back, as long as it can exert the power of fantasy level, it should not be a problem to hang the Japanese Navy.
At present, to the maximum, it can only be so, it is okay to fight Japan, and the United Kingdom, don't look at the power of the fantasy class, one can top three or even five others, but that is in the skilled navy, fully exert their power, a bunch of novices, at most a turtle shell, passively beaten, not to mention, maybe will be captured by the British.
Such a fleet is already the limit that Yang Yuanzhao can think of, the core of the 2 battleships and 2 heavy ships, at least 3,500 people, not counting the supply and maintenance personnel on land, conservative estimates, at least 12,000 to 15,000 or so professional sailors, plus the necessary rotation, 20,000 is the least.
In this way, if you want to form the most basic fleet, with the personnel that the northwest now has, the gap is three-quarters, and it is simply an impossible task to form a high sea fleet and an ocean fleet like Britain and Germany, in case of a high-intensity war, and the two sides fight a real fire, only the losses of the first war, he can't afford it, a small amount is okay, in case of a major loss, the sinking of the ship or something is a trivial matter, and the large loss of personnel will make the northwest in the middle of the first war, overnight back to before the liberation.
For the navy, Yang Yuanzhao still has a certain idea, on the one hand, with the support of the Germans, the construction of the naval academy, which requires the use of some personnel of the former Mawei Ship School, those experienced personnel, plus the German navy's major, should be able to form a basic teaching, next, is to vigorously expand the preparation of the navy, from the crew to the fishermen, this is the natural soil of the navy, as long as these problems are solved, plus the academy and the school two-pronged, the future Chinese navy, will not lack personnel.
