August 20, 1944. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Dalian Military Port of the Brigade University.

The military port is heavily guarded, and a ceremony is being held for the aircraft carrier to enter service. Senior officials from the Northeast Bureau, the North China Bureau, the Northeast Coalition Army, and the Navy all came.

No matter how heavily guarded they are, tall aircraft carriers can be seen far away outside the military port. A number of ropes hung down from the island on the aircraft carrier, on which were hung the flags of many countries, as well as countless colored flags. Squadrons of the Navy are demining on the aircraft carrier. The navy was neatly dressed and had a clear banner.

There is a long red carpet in front of the island. On the side of the island stood a pair of military bands.

Three months ago, Dalian brought back the aircraft carrier Akagi, which had been salvaged from the sea. After returning to Dalian, Dalian concentrated all its technical forces to repair the aircraft carrier.

After repairing the big hole that was blown up by the torpedo, the stagnant water was cleared, and the aircraft carrier surfaced. At the same time, the internal damage is gradually being repaired, but fortunately, the power system is fine, but the ship's side was blown out of a large hole, causing water to enter the ship. Today, this aircraft carrier is ready for use, but repairs are ongoing.

All Japanese characters for the aircraft carrier have been erased, and two numbers 01 are written on the front side of the ship, indicating that this is the first aircraft carrier.

The repair of this aircraft carrier has led to the restoration and construction of some factories in Northeast China. For example, the paint factory originally had two small factories that produced car paints. Paint is high-tech in this era, car paint is mainly gray, red, black color, car paint is not ship paint. In order to produce qualified ship paint, dozens of people fought for two months and finally succeeded in tackling the problem.

The people in the steel mill also used the technical information they got to tackle key problems day and night, and they were able to refine relatively high-quality steel.

Even the red carpet was made by a blanket factory on a temporary basis.

There are many similar examples.

The aviation is also preparing for boarding. They took the advice of the trail, and the first step was to draw an area on land the same size as an aircraft carrier to practice takeoff and landing. At the same time, they build land aircraft carriers, which are exactly the same size and facilities as real aircraft carriers, for qualified pilots in a row, and also for training aircraft carrier personnel.

The Akagi has become history, as the aircraft carrier has been named Dingyuan.

Dingyuan is one of the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty Navy, and its same type of ship is Zhenyuan. The Dingyuan was also one of the warships ordered by the Qing court from Germany, built at the Volkeng shipyard in Szczecin, and was the main ship of the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty.

The Dingyuan was commissioned in October 1885 and became the flagship of the Beiyang Naval Division of the Great Qing Dynasty.

On the night of February 4, 1895, the Dingyuan was attacked and wounded by the Japanese No. 9 torpedo boat that broke into Port Arthur, and on the 9th, it was seriously damaged by the artillery fire of the Japanese occupied battery, and on the 10th, the Dingyuan ship was self-detonated.

On the 17th, the Zhenyuan ship was captured by the Japanese army and incorporated into the Japanese fleet, and it was still known as Zhenyuan, becoming the first ironclad battleship of the Japanese Navy, and participated in the Russo-Japanese War and the naval observation ceremony held in Kobe in Meiji 33, and was removed as a weapon target ship on April 1, 1911.

On April 6, 1912, it was sold and dismantled, and the iron anchor and chain left behind were displayed by the Japanese government in Ueno Park, Tokyo, to humiliate the Chinese.

Regarding the naming of aircraft carriers, there are many people who have a lot of opinions.

Yan'an went against the norm and made the matter of the aircraft carrier public, and almost every two or three days, relevant news was publicly released, setting off a wave of craze throughout the country. A few days ago, Yan'an released news to discuss the naming of aircraft carriers and widely solicit aircraft carrier naming schemes from the whole society.

A lot of people express their opinions. Some published articles, some called Yan'an, and some went to the representative office in person. All of a sudden, this topic became trendy, and the streets and alleys were talked about with relish.

Some people think that it should be named Lenin, some advocate naming Ze*dong, and some even want to name Zhongzheng.

The Zhongzheng was a request made by an official document from Chongqing, because the Chongqing plane had Meiling, and the first aircraft carrier should be named Zhongzheng.

Of course, there are also those who recommend the Nakayama number.

The sinking, salvage, repair, naming, commissioning of this aircraft carrier was carried out with great fanfare. It's well-planned propaganda.

At present, there are more than 2.5 million troops of the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the Northeast Allied Army, and if we count the guerrillas in the southwest, they have reached 3 million. Therefore, the high-profile propaganda of aircraft carriers is aimed at winning the hearts and minds of the people and intimidating some people.

The second group is the cultural school, which advocates a lot of place names and ancient names, and is the most suitable ship name of all the ships.

The third faction is named after the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division, mainly the navy of Dalian, as well as Xiaolu and others. Xiaolu proposed to use Dingyuan, one is to inherit the glory, because Dingyuan is the flagship. The second is not to forget the national shame. To this day, some parts of the Dingyuan are still on display in Japanese parks, humiliating the Chinese.

There are also those named after the Zhenyuan. Wait a minute.

Soon, in the name of the Tohoku, Koji published an article in the newspaper, detailing his assumptions and reasons.

Later, many people agreed with Xiaolu's opinion, and the aircraft carrier was named Dingyuan. No one can say a reason to deny this name.

The ceremony was presided over by Commander-in-Chief Zhu. Commander-in-Chief Zhu first proposed a silent tribute to the Navy's capture of the aircraft carrier and the martyrs who died in the process of salvaging the aircraft carrier and building the aircraft carrier.

For this aircraft carrier, a hundred or dozens of people have died. Some died in battle, some died in salvage accidents, some died in accidents during repairs, and two pilots died in accidents when landing on aircraft carriers.

At present, Xiaolu has stopped the landing training on the aircraft carrier. Some of the aircraft carrier's systems are still in a state of repair and do not work properly, and it is too presumptuous to study the landing of aircraft now.

The trail originally planned that the aircraft carrier would take one to two years to enter service. As soon as the idea was proposed, it was met with a great deal of opposition. Most of the opponents against him were technicians. They demanded that the repair be carried out in three shifts, so that the aircraft carrier could enter service as soon as possible and participate in the war of resistance. Now, it only took them a few months to achieve the level of entering the army, which is a miracle in the world, Xiaolu sighed in his heart about this era, and paid tribute to the relevant personnel many times.

After a series of ceremonies, Commander-in-Chief Zhu announced the entry of the Dingyuan into service, congratulated the Chinese Navy, and wished the Navy brilliant achievements.

The ceremony of the aircraft carrier's commissioning has long been publicized with great fanfare, and it will be a big deal who will attend and who will preside over the study.

All units in Yan'an sent high-ranking officials to attend the ceremony, as did the New Fourth Army Navy and the Shandong Coastal Unit of the Eighth Route Army. They are all the units that are most concerned about aircraft carriers.

Yan Xishan in Shanxi and Fu Zuoyi in Suiyuan also sent people to participate.

Chongqing also sent representatives of the Ministry of National Defense and representatives of other departments.

The Navy is also represented. This representative is very mysterious, he is wearing a Mao suit and follows behind Mr. Zhu. This person is Admiral, Chen Shaokuan.

Chen Shaokuan was born in 1889 in Minhou, Fujian, and his father was a naval sailor. In modern times, there are many Fujianese in the Chinese Navy, and they have been the main force of the Navy for many years. Xie Bingxin is a soldier of the Fujian Navy.

However, the navy is particular about people's surnames, and it is really hard to imagine how a person with the surname Chen can get on the ship, because superstitious people think that this surname is not good, and Chen and Shen have the same sound, which is unlucky.

Chen Shaokuan entered the Nanyang Naval Academy at the age of 17, and later joined the Navy and joined the Navy of the Republic of China. In the 21st year of the Republic of China, Chen Shaokuan was promoted to Minister of the Navy, a first-class admiral of the Navy, and concurrently served as a member of the National Defense Committee of the National Government and a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang. In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the "Naval University" was founded.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, a naval battle of Jiangyin, the Chinese navy was completely annihilated, and from then on, Chen Shaokuan became an admiral without a warship.

He expects China to have warships and aircraft carriers.

This is China's first aircraft carrier.

Admiral Chen Shaokuan of the Republic of China Navy proposed to the government a year ago that 20 aircraft carriers should be built, each costing 1.8 billion yuan.

The result is clear, don't say twenty ships, even one can't do it, no technology, no money. Chen Shaokuan explained that this money cannot be saved, and of course these 12 aircraft carriers are not completed at one time, and the term is 30 years. In the first 10 years, it is planned to build a 10,000-ton aircraft carrier and an 8,000-ton aircraft carrier, at a cost of $6,280 per ton.

That won't work either.

This time, he heard about the specific time of the commissioning ceremony of the first aircraft carrier and insisted on coming.

With such a beautiful ceremony, Lao Jiang had some itching in his heart, and he wanted to participate and preside. But Lao Chiang couldn't come, the reason was very simple, this was not his own army, it was the Communist Party. However, a representative must be sent, and Madame would like to come, but unfortunately, she has been concentrating on the Air Force lately, and she has been a little ill lately, and cannot come.

Chen Shaokuan finally came to attend the ceremony.

In fact, the relevant news was specially transmitted to him by Zhou Gong, and Mao Gong of Yan'an also hoped that he would go and give more guidance on the construction of the navy.

For Chen Shaokuan, he has a dream of a big navy. In 1937, China had only tens of thousands of tons of warships, only one-twentieth of the tonnage of Japanese warships. As the supreme admiral of the Navy, he was naturally unwilling. Now that the Chinese have more tonnage of ships in their hands, how can he not like it?

Chen Shaokuan came to Dalian by plane, and as soon as he arrived in Dalian, he was invited to the aircraft carrier alone and looked at the entire aircraft carrier up and down for more than 20 hours.

Chen Shaokuan was moved by his sincerity and made no reservations about his opinions, and several of the accompanying personnel simply kept recording them in a notebook, as if a professor was leading a group of students.

Mr. Zhu went to Dalian the day before the ceremony. After arriving, he went straight down to the troops, running more than a dozen units in the afternoon and evening, including the navy, marines, army, police forces, as well as police and militia.

On the 20th, the aircraft carrier commissioning ceremony was held, and the Dalian military port was heavily guarded.

A lot of different people came to Dalian, and for a while, many forces gathered in Dalian to get some news, but no one seemed to get any information.
