After the ceremony, Xiao Lu, General Zhu and General Chen and other representatives from all walks of life visited different parts of the aircraft carrier. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info They first looked at the conning tower, the hangar, the power system, and later at the living facilities of the crew. You can't visit the rest of the place, because it's still under construction, and it's still being repaired and rebuilt. The delegates also knew that construction was going on inside, because they could hear the roar of the sea of machines and see the smoke of electric welding coming out of some cabins.

The focus of the visit to the living facilities, the Dalian Navy focuses on guiding them to visit here. Some secret places, even if they are repaired, are not open.

At the time of sinking, because of the wind, most of the military aircraft of the aircraft carrier were in the hangar, and only a few were transported to the deck, and with the sinking of the aircraft carrier, several Zero military aircraft on the deck fell into the sea. For the salvage of the aircraft, several divers were sacrificed.

The salvage of the aircraft carrier is better, because the water depth here is not very deep for the aircraft carrier. Because the aircraft carrier was well protected, the torpedoes with very advanced technology were used, and one of them blew up a small hole, so that a watertight compartment was flooded. The other one blew up a big hole, and the hull got into the water. After the hull sank, a little of the flight deck was still on the water.

It took a lot of effort to salvage at the beginning. Underwater electric welding has been explored and matured as early as the construction of the Heavenly Court, and now, this secret technology is used here to exert great power.

The hole in the welding bar was blocked, and the water pump pumped out again, and the aircraft carrier surfaced on its own. Above the water, workers from all walks of life waiting in Dalian rushed over to work on the ship.

After the salvage was out of the water, the tugboat began to tow back to Dalian. On the way back to the ship, some minor repairs and minor repairs were completed, and after returning to the Dalian military port, Dalian implemented three shifts in order to repair the warship, and the work on the aircraft carrier never stopped.

Because more than a thousand Japanese sailors and pilots were captured, half of whom were aircraft carrier crews. These people were accelerated in their transformation, and as soon as there were signs of transformation, they immediately went on board the ship to assist and guide the repair of the warship.

Until the aircraft system was repaired, although the repair was not completed, the aircraft carrier entered service ahead of schedule.

After looking at the internal facilities, Mr. Zhu, Admiral Chen, and Xiaolu and others took the elevator from the aircraft cabin to the deck.

The aircraft carrier is taller than any of the brigade's largest buildings, and the deck has a wide view. Mr. Zhu said: "Xiaolu, when do you think our aircraft carrier will be able to form combat effectiveness?" I felt that I had entered the service so quickly and in a hurry. The repairs were not completed, the aircraft was not complete, and the pilots needed training. ”

Xiaolu said: "Aircraft carriers form combat effectiveness, in two aspects, the first is the navy, and the second is the air force. The navy needs tradition, but unfortunately, the current inheritance of tradition is in the **** navy, and they have been wiped out. Our Navy is too young. I don't dare to let them fight a big battle, mainly a sneak attack. The Navy is immature, and it is more difficult to maneuver aircraft carriers. The Air Force is even worse. Pilots should be selected from among the top of the Air Force and trained for a long enough time. Training staff is key, we don't. ”

Mr. Zhu said: "Taking the risk of participating in the war is easy to have an accident. Now, the aircraft carrier is a strategic deterrent, a symbol. Let's do a solid job. It doesn't hurt. ”

Xiao Lu said: "I also understand it this way. I hope that when I land on Japanese territory, I will grab some talents, naval talents, aircraft carrier talents, a series of talents. ”

At this time, the two arrived in front of the officers and soldiers lined up on the deck, and Mr. Zhu shook hands with them.

After meeting the fighters on the deck, the group went to the ship island again to visit the command facility. Xiaolu said: "Mr. Zhu, what are you thinking?" See anything strange? ”

Mr. Zhu: "For me, the strangest thing is the chimney, how can it be horizontal?" The island on the left side is standing, move it to the right, and be with the chimney, isn't it over? At least the chimney shouldn't lie flat. ”

Several naval officers looked admiring.

"That's right, left-hander." Most people aren't left-handed, and that's where the trouble lies. After I talked with the people in the navy for a while, everyone understood, and I didn't want Mr. Zhu to see it all at once. ”

Mr. Zhu: "Where." I actually think that the chimney is lying down, which is unreasonable. Smoke always goes up. ”

Chen Shaokuan said: "Although Commander-in-Chief Zhu was born in the army, he has a very good feeling for the navy. ”

Mr. Zhu: "I can't do it, I just think that China must have a navy, and China must have Chinese warships in the sea." For this, all I can do is to grasp the people I know and transfer them over. I have ambitions, I don't have money, but I have talent. ”

Xiaolu said: "However, we still lack a lot of talent. The Navy is something that only rich people can afford to play. It is rare for us to build a navy by robbing other people's warships. ”

Chen Shaokuan said: "Where is rare, it is unique. I admire you guys. ”

Xiaolu: "But we are like this, some adventures, not all scientific. For example, the time of enlistment. I originally estimated that it would take at least one to two years, but as a result, they worked in three shifts, without rest, and mobilized all their strength to participate in the construction. They have also created a lot of construction methods to improve efficiency. It worked wonders. However, we are always a little unsure. You are a senior, a naval authority, please give me advice. We are here, and there are many people who want to be your students. ”

Mr. Zhu: "General Chen, you have talents, recommend a few." Those who are injured at home, those who are in public office, and those who have retired from military service, we welcome them with raised hands. ”

Chen Shaokuan said: "The navy is in name only, and people don't like it because we spend a lot of money. ”

Mr. Zhu: "We don't have much money, but we are sincere." There is no money to build ships, so we grab ships. There is no ship that can be solved, but not talent. We must first cultivate talents, and we need your help. In fact, in our navy, there are dozens of wounded naval soldiers in the Jiangyin naval battle, and most of them are boatswain, first mates, and some are captains. We also have quite a few Japanese navies, and as long as they are converted, they can participate in the navy. But that's not enough. ”

Xiaolu: "Our boss wants you to recommend talents. We don't have a lot of money, but we have a stage for them to display their talents. When they come here, they will definitely not get rich, but they will definitely show their ambitions. ”

Chen Shaokuan said: "Okay." I've heard about you using Japanese prisoners before, and I've never believed it. ”

Xiaolu: "Every time we catch a captive, we don't kill it, we carry out ideological education first." As long as they abandon the idea of militarism, they can use it. Currently, they mainly work as technical instructors, teachers. ”

Chen Shaokuan said: "I want to take a look at these people. ”

Mr. Zhu: "It's still the same sentence, we welcome it with both hands." ”

Admiral Chen said: "Although this aircraft carrier is not as good as the United States, it is the most powerful in our country, and I hope it will not be used in civil wars in the future." ”

Mr. Zhu: "Admiral Chen, we don't want to fight a civil war. Recently, however, as soon as Japan slowed down its attack, we have been under a lot of pressure. To eliminate the civil war, I also hope that Admiral Chen will do more work. ”

After the visit, Mr. Zhu visited several newly established universities in Dalian, including naval academies and comprehensive universities. Finally, Mr. Zhu also met with the converted Japanese naval officers and soldiers.

The schedule of the group is very tight, and this time, the main purpose of Xiao Lu and the others is to have a good relationship with Admiral Chen and increase his good impression of Yan'an.

During the visit break, Mr. Zhu and Xiaolu revealed the battle plan against Japan formulated by Northeast China and Yan'an.

The plan was extremely bold. Some plans Admiral Chen knew, because Yan'an had reported to Chongqing, and some he did not know, such as the liberation of Korea, such as the plan to land on the Japanese mainland, and carry out strategic bombing on the Japanese mainland.

Admiral Chen listened and asked, "Do you want me to deliver the news to President Jiang?" ”

Mr. Zhu: "Hope." However, I'm worried that if you talk too much, President Jiang will distrust you even more and treat you badly. ”

Admiral Chen said: "If it is conducive to resisting Japan, I will do it, and personal honor and disgrace are not to be regretted." ”

Historically, after the Anti-Japanese War, Admiral Chen lost his authority because he refused to fight the civil war, and later, he refused to go to Taiwan, stayed on the mainland, and became a member of the National Defense Commission. The path is to pull Admiral Chen, the leader of the navy, to a front in advance, in order to recruit his talents and build the navy.

In the afternoon, Mr. Zhu gave a report to a university, and Admiral Chen proposed to Xiaolu that he would visit the shipyard. Xiao Lu greeted Mr. Zhu and personally accompanied Admiral Chen to visit the shipyard. Later, Admiral Chen was particularly unsatisfied, and came out of the shipyard and visited several supporting factories until late at night.

On the way back, Xiao Lu asked Admiral Chen: "Admiral Chen, my predecessors said that you have a dream, that is, a strong Chinese navy that agrees?" ”

Admiral Chen: "Yes. Since the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the Chinese Navy has been in a slump, and it is not easy to revitalize it. ”

Xiao Lu said: "Senior, in fact, you can also see that we have the same dream. Now, we can't get enough to eat, why build this big warship that can't fight? It's for this dream. You are the leader of the Navy, the soul of the Navy. You have a lot of subordinates who do not have warships. Invite them to come. As much ability as possible, I will give as much stage as possible. ”

Admiral Chen: "Okay. ”

After visiting these places, Admiral Chen and Xiaolu talked many times, and the two were familiar with each other, and the atmosphere was also very easy-going. Xiao Lu said: "Senior, ask a question." There are a lot of you Fujian people in the navy, I heard that there is a taboo, the surname Chen can't get on the ship, but why did you become an admiral? ”

Admiral Chen laughed, but he didn't answer.

Later, Admiral Chen really recommended a large number of naval personnel from Fujian to join the Dalian Navy, so that the Dalian Navy became a regular navy within a few years. That's an afterword.

3. Chen Shaokuan also built ships. In 1929, he became the director of the Jiangnan Shipyard. In 1937, Chen Shaokuan commanded the Battle of Jiangyin. This is a battle in which a strong man breaks his wrist. In the winter of 1945, Chiang ordered Chen Shaokuan to lead a warship to Shandong. Chen refused and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. Since then, Chiang has completely lost trust in him. In 1949, Chiang invited him to Taiwan, but Chen Shaokuan refused to allow it. Forty-nine years later, Chen served as a member of the East China Military Commission, vice chairman of Fujian Province, vice governor, deputy to the National People's Congress, and member of the National Defense Commission.
