(53) Drifting minelines and pocket submarines
"There's no harm in thinking about it," Yang Shuoming smiled slightly, "What's more, this day may not really come." ”
"Does Hanzhi have any more whimsical ideas?" Shi Xuanhou heard what Yang Shuoming said and immediately asked.
Yang Shuoming smiled and nodded, "Actually, I have to thank the two of you for your tips." ”
During this short conversation, according to the questions raised by Yang Shuoming and the answers of Shi Lin and the others, the "supercomputer eye" has given the best answer and related design scheme.
"I have an improved plan for the method of releasing mines that Sui Bo proposed just now." Yang Shuoming said, came to the table and sat down, took a piece of white paper and a pencil, and quickly drew on the paper.
Shi Xuanhou and Lin Yuqing came to Yang Shuoming's side and watched Yang Shuoming's drawing, only to see Yang Shuoming's hand moving rapidly, and an accurate mine structure map was soon presented on the drawing.
Seeing that Yang Shuoming had drawn the circular mine profile so finely and accurately without using tools such as a compass ruler, Shi Xuanhou and Lin Yuqing both opened their mouths in surprise.
"This is a drifting mine that I designed to drift with the ocean current to the enemy ship's position and sink the enemy ship. This is the trigger fuse, and here is the automatic net cutter that specializes in dealing with lightning protection nets," Yang Shuoming quickly drew the drawings, and then explained to Shi Lin and the others, "Use the aircraft to reconnoiter the location of the enemy ship in advance, and then cast a number of floating mines along the current, and then you can sink and injure the enemy ship." ”
"It's a feasible plan." Shi Xuanhou and Lin Yuqing looked at the drawings carefully and nodded in unison.
"As for submarines, although technically difficult, they can also be tried." Yang Shuoming took another piece of paper and drew it again, and soon, the design of a small submarine jumped on the paper.
"This small submarine has a simple structure and is too small to launch torpedoes, but it can sneak up on enemy ships, place time bombs on the bottom of enemy ships, and sink enemy ships in one fell swoop." Yang Shuoming looked at Shi Lin and the others and said, "In fact, the earliest submarines were all small submarines, because not everything is bigger the better, and it is more suitable to attack the fleet anchored in the harbor than large submarines." Moreover, the Japanese are now empty-eyed, believing that their navy has the most powerful fleet in the whole of Asia, and now that they have defeated the Germans and occupied Qingdao, they do not take our Chinese navy seriously at all, let alone pay attention to this little trick of stealing chickens and dogs. But for us, it's a good opportunity for us to beat them. ”
Listening to Yang Shuoming's words, Shi Xuanhou and Lin Yuqing glanced at each other, and they both read a look of disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Hanzhi is really powerful," Shi Xuanhou stared at the two drawings in front of him, "This is a rare strategy to retreat from the enemy, and it is not difficult to implement technically." ”
"Finally you can build a ship!" Lin Yuqing's eyes also flashed with excitement.
"Aren't you not interested in things that run underwater?" Shi Xuanhou looked at Lin Yuqing, who seemed to have smoked a big cigarette, and asked.
"At this time and that time, you stupid uncle won't understand." Lin Yuqing had no intention of arguing with Shi Xuanhou, but couldn't wait to discuss some technical issues with Yang Shuoming. Shi Xuanhou smiled, and did not provoke Lin Yuqing again, but also joined the discussion.
After discussing for more than two hours, seeing that it was getting late, Yang Shuoming was worried about his wife and children, so he said goodbye to Shi Lin and the others. After sending Yang Shuoming away, Lin Yuqing, who had not yet recovered from the excitement brought by the discussion, noticed that Shi Xuanhou was still looking at the two drawings in a daze, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.
"What's the matter with you? What do you think? Lin Yuqing asked.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Shi Xuanhou frowned and asked.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuqing looked at the solemn coffin face of Election Shi and asked
"Look at his submarine drawings, where are the sketches, the details in them are drawn," Shi Xuanhou pointed to the drawings and said, "See, the straight lines and arcs, as well as the dotted lines, and the proportions are all exactly the same, even an experienced cartographer like us can't draw so well in such a short time, let alone without the help of any tools." ”
"yes." Lin Yuqing nodded, "Moreover, you look at the drawings of this mine, such a delicate design, how did he come up with this?" ”,
At this time, Lin Yuqing and Shi Xuanhou certainly couldn't have thought that Yang Shuoming's designs came entirely from his "eyes".
"Do you think he did this to fight the Japanese in Qingdao?" "Or is it just a simple desire to develop new weapons and test new tactics?" ”
"I think he really wants to do something to the Japanese in Qingdao." Lin Yuqing smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that I can't figure out how he went to Qingdao to fight the Japanese." ”
"Even if he can really fight, is it enough just for the little people he has on hand now?" Shi Xuanhou shook his head, "Besides, there is no order from Yuan Datou in Beijing, how can he do it himself?" Aren't you afraid of leading to other messes to lose your official position and lose your head when the time comes? ”
"Let's leave this alone, let's get what he wants out first! Otherwise, even the best plan will be in vain. As soon as Lin Yuqing thought of building a submarine, he couldn't help but start to get excited, "You know what? Suibo? China's first combat submarine in the true sense of the word, but it came from the hands of you and me! ”
"I'd rather have China's first battleship or battlecruiser come from me." Shi Xuanhou smiled and said.
"I have this feeling, as long as I follow him Yang Hanzhi, this day will definitely not be far away." Lin Yuqing looked at Shi Xuanhou and said.
"I hope so." Shi Xuanhou took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to the drawing in front of him.
Qianmen Square, Beijing.
"The Japanese not only occupied Qingdao, but now they want to forcibly occupy the entire territory of Shandong! The country is in danger, but you only know that you are watching, do you have to be called by the Japanese to wake up? ”
"Country, country, country in front and home behind! Can no country be a home? One must build on a firm foundation? ”
"Even if you don't plan to contribute to the country, you all have relatives! All have brothers and sisters! If you don't fight, you're handing over your parents, relatives, brothers and sisters to the enemy to slaughter! ”
"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while! The country is now going to perish! If you don't fight, what do you want you to do? ”
Xu Shuzheng, vice minister of the army, dressed in civilian clothes, sat in the car and listened to the impassioned confessions coming from the procession of the petitioning students.
Xu Shuzheng looked out the window of the car, and at this time, facing the students who were giving speeches, the military and police who came to stop the students from marching and petitioning all stopped, and they all turned their rifles and bayonets downward, as if they were afraid that they would hurt the students who were crowded together. Xu Shuzheng noticed that some older military police officers were saying kind words to persuade the students to disperse, while some young soldiers were moved to tears by the students' words.
Seeing this moving scene, Xu Shuzheng let out a heavy sigh and turned his head.
As a Chinese, he felt the same indignation and humiliation as Japan forcibly occupied Qingdao and the Jiaoji Railway, but there was nothing he could do to think about it.
In order to prevent the Japanese army from invading China under the pretext of fighting against Germany, as the deputy commander of the army, he took a great risk and sent 2,000 rifles with bullets to the German troops stationed in Qingdao, which lacked army weapons, and he did not care about the Germans and Austrians in China who were gathering in Qingdao.
And that's all he could do at that time.
The German army, which was less than 10,000 men guarding Qingdao, faced the siege of more than 50,000 Anglo-Japanese troops (mainly Japanese) and a naval fleet, and held out for more than two months before surrendering despite the lack of weapons and ammunition, which can be regarded as a little reward for the covert support of the Chinese side.
Now, the Japanese are not satisfied with the acquisition of Qingdao, and all kinds of signs indicate that this time Japan wants to extend its hand to the whole territory of Shandong.
Qingdao had become a great pain for the survival of the Chinese people since it was occupied by the Germans, and now it was made even more unbearable by the irritation of the Japanese, who threatened China.
At this time, the students' voices screamed blood, like pinprick through Xu Shuzheng's body, making him fidget.
As a soldier, why didn't he want to fight the Japanese to the death?
But he knew that no matter the internal and external situation, it was impossible to allow himself to do so.
In this jungle era where the jungle eats the jungle, as a weak country, it is the fish and meat that the powerful countries compete for.
From the moment China lost the First Sino-Japanese War to Japan, it had no dignity or status in this jungle world. After the "Gengzi National Change", China's international status has plummeted. Although it is not a colony of any country in name, its actual status is actually inferior to that of a colony in some respects.
In a country where foreign troops are stationed around the capital, where the main part of its fiscal revenue is used to pay reparations, how much is left when it comes to the word "sovereignty"?
How much strength can such a country have to fight against one of the world's leading powers?
"Vice Minister, the Five Nations Hotel has arrived." The driver said to Xu Shuzheng.
Xu Shuzheng came back to his senses, he nodded, the driver got out of the car and opened the door, Xu Shuzheng got out of the car and walked quickly into the hotel building.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Xu Shuzheng came to a living room, at this time there were already many people sitting in the living room, and when they saw Xu Shuzheng's arrival, the people in the living room stood up one after another.
"See, even the second elder didn't dare to wear a military uniform." A person laughed and greeted him and stretched out his hand to Xu Shuzheng.
