"Anyway, it's a good start." Lan Jianshu looked at the sea in the distance and took a deep breath of the sea breeze, "Our Chinese Navy still has a chance to catch up." …”

"But now that there is constant fighting at home and abroad, the country has no time to develop with peace of mind..."Li He clenched his fists and said, "You don't see, Guangdong has now become the world of revolutionaries again." …”

As senior generals of the Chinese Navy, Lan Jianshu and Li He have always been very concerned about the situation in Guangdong.

"In the past, there were many sympathetic revolutionaries in the navy, but now that their true colors of being instigated by Japan to cause rebellion have been exposed, I am afraid that no one will be willing to believe their false propaganda anymore." Lan Jianshu sneered and said, "Japan really doesn't want to die!" …”

"It's just a pity that this new ship has not been in service for a long time, and my sailors still need time to run in with it, otherwise, I really want to drive over and bomb the fuck now! Li He slammed his fist on the armor plate of the bridge, making a "bang...", attracting strange glances from several officers.

"Yes! No more, even if there are two or three more such warships, we can take Guangzhou back now! Lan Jianshu said.

"This Mawei shipyard made Yang Hanzhi get up so quickly." Li He looked at the smoke rising from the Luo Xing Pagoda in the distance and the huge chimney in the shipyard area, and sighed, "I really can't think of how he did it." …”

"Yes! It's just like a trick, at the beginning, the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau was under the jurisdiction of the Admiralty, and because of the lack of funds, he only relied on selling scrap iron machines for several years, but in the hands of his Yang Han, it was very different in a few months, and it was really money that could be channeled. Lan Jianshu smiled bitterly and said, "Just like he told us before, the problems that money can solve are not problems." But where did his money come from? …”

"He said that it was an overseas donation, so why should we dig into it? Li He smiled and said, "As long as he can make more and better warships for our Chinese Navy, you and I don't care where his money comes from." ”

At this time, the sun that was gradually setting had already dyed the sky red, and seeing that the sun was about to sink below the horizon, Lan Jianshu nodded thoughtfully.

"If you Yang Hanzhi is just for our China to have a big navy, I have nothing to say, I will continue to support you to the end! But if you have other purposes, then don't blame me." ”

Lan Jianshu didn't say this sentence in the end.

The Yellow Sea "Oshikashima Sea."

"We've sailed into the Great Eastern Ditch, Captain. …”

"I'll see. After listening to the words of the deputy captain, Major Xiao Yonglin, who had been promoted to the Chinese Navy's "Exocet Q" submarine, suppressed his excitement, took over the periscope, and carefully observed the sea.

Dadonggou!

From September 17, 1894, when the smoke of gunfire rose from this sea area with the rumbling sound of cannons, the bloody battle at sea here "became an eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese."

Since that day, this sea area has been firmly engraved in the hearts of the Chinese.

Since that day, in the memory of the Chinese, this sea area has become a century-old shame for the Chinese nation.

Like the special meaning of the table "Waterloo" in English and "Tsushima ..." in Russian, "From that day on, Dadonggou was no longer a place name in the Chinese dictionary."

At this time, the sky above the sea surface of Dadonggou was shrouded in a large number of rolling dark clouds, as if it had returned to that year, that day.

"Float! Xiao Yonglin gave an order in a deep voice.

The co-captain repeated the order loudly, and the crew immediately began to get busy, and with the surging waves, the "Exocet 9" submarine surfaced.

On the surface of the sea with dark clouds rolling, the "Exocet 9" submarine slowly sailed into this sea area of special significance at a speed of 10 knots, and Xiao Yonglin and several subordinates went to the control tower and looked at this calm sea with solemn eyes.

"Telegraph to the base headquarters that our boat has sailed into the waters of Dadonggou. …”

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xiao Yonglin ordered in a deep voice.

As the earliest submarine officer of the Chinese Navy, Xiao Yonglin, who once drove a pocket submarine to sink a Japanese ship in the Battle of Caofeidian and made great achievements, "has since been fascinated by the new weapon of submarines."

From the moment he participated in that underwater offensive battle that was enough to wash away the Chinese Navy's century-old shame, he knew that his life would be indissoluble with submarines.

In that battle, he and his three comrades-in-arms piloted the small pocket submarine like a toy, and inflicted unprecedented heavy damage on the invincible Japanese battleship. ,

And now, the "Exocet"-class submarine under his feet, in terms of performance, tonnage and armament, is better than the "Weaver Shuttle." "The class of pocket submarines is many times stronger.

The "Exocet..."class submarine is the latest submarine manufactured by Jiangnan Shipyard, with a surface displacement of 1,000 tons and an underwater displacement of bungee, the power plant adopts advanced diesel motor dual power, equipped with a new diesel engine (power of 1850 horsepower) and electric motor (power of 1200 horsepower) imported from the United States, the surface speed can reach an underwater speed of 8.5 knots, a cruising range of 8500 nautical miles at a surface speed of 8 knots, an underwater speed of 76 nautical miles / 5 knots, and a maximum diving depth of 45 meters. The armament is equipped with 4 533-mm torpedo tubes, carrying 6 torpedoes, equipped with a 75-mm deck gun, and the deck gun has 300 rounds of ammunition. The crew consisted of 4 officers and 30 soldiers. Compared with the German U-boat that changed the color of the Entente talks, China's "Exocet" class submarines still have a certain gap in performance, but for the Chinese Navy, they are undoubtedly a product of the times.

This class represents the highest technical level of China's shipbuilding industry, and its main design source is the young man in charge of the country's industry.

At this time, Yang Shuoming, who had just gotten off the airship and got into the car, also received a telegram from the Wuhongkou Naval Base in Shanghai that the submarine "Exocet" had sailed into Dadonggou.

In Shanghai, which is far from the other end of Dadonggou, Yang Shuoming held the telegram in his hand tightly, and he sat in the car, looking at the sea outside the window, his face looked extremely solemn.

Xi Xue, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but be startled when she looked at Yang Shuoming's eyes with strong grief and murderous intent.

"The graves of sailors are always without flowers," Yang Shuoming said to himself.

Listening to his words, Xi Xue understood what he remembered, and a desolate look flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Yang Shuoming's ears seemed to sound the rumbling cannon sound again, and the scene of those brave and fearless naval soldiers fighting desperately and bloodily against the Japanese invaders seemed to appear in front of him.

As the actual builder of the submarine force of the Chinese Navy, it is a wish of Yang Shuoming himself to let China's first-stage main battle submarine enter Dadonggou, because for him, Dadonggou has a special significance.

In his era, in the eyes of most Chinese, Dadonggou represented a century-old national humiliation of the Chinese nation, and the Beiyang Fleet, once known as the "First Fleet in Asia," was completely destroyed in Weihaiwei, which also caused countless "indignant youths" in later generations to grit their teeth with hatred for the officers and men of this fleet. While scolding the incompetence of the Manchu court, he also deducted all kinds of charges on those innocent officers and soldiers who fought for the country and the nation until the last moment!

"Corruption", "incompetence in combat...", "low quality", "greed for life and fear of death." The name of "and so on" is overwhelmingly pressed on the officers and soldiers who fought bravely and never died in that naval battle related to China's future national fortunes, regardless of the most obvious facts and the most basic common sense!

"General",

Seeing that the sadness on Yang Shuoming's face was getting heavier and heavier, Xi Xue wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know how to say it.

For Yang Shuoming's sadness, although Jing is a woman, "she also knows where she comes from."

In the naval battle at Dadonggou during the Jiawu period, all Chinese who heard it were inexplicably sad and indignant, and heartbroken.

Because in this day and age "there are not so many outrageous rumors for ulterior motives on the heads of the heroes who sleep at the bottom of the sea."

However, in the later generations when information was developed, there were so many people who ignored historical facts, deliberately distorted history, and used the so-called "mainstream view of history" that was completely reversed in black and white..."Generation after generation of misguided children in schools!"

Even the Japanese who were the enemies of the Beiyang Navy had the evaluation that "the enemy ships fought to the death, and they should look at the bottom of the sea...", and as the descendants of heroes, they did not hesitate to chew and repeat those shameless lies over and over again!

How can the heroes who sleep at the bottom of the sea be blind!

"Someday, I'm going to vindicate these heroes!"

At that time, Yang Shuoming made a solemn oath in his heart.

And as soon as he thought of the heart-wrenching past he experienced in later generations, Yang Shuoming's heart was sad and indignant.

At this time, Yang Shuoming seemed to be back in middle school history class.

When the teacher tirelessly talked about "the officers and men of the Beiyang Navy drying their clothes on the barrels of the main guns," he recalled in his ears when he questioned the history teacher in person.

"Teacher, do you know," Dingyuan, what is the caliber of the ship's main guns? And what is the height from the deck? …”,

"How can a man risk falling to his death and climb onto the slippery barrel to dry his clothes?"

And the result of such questioning of authority is to punish the station and find the parents.

But he is stubborn by nature and refuses to admit his mistakes.

"I'm not wrong! Why should I admit my mistake!? ”

"Whether it was the notes of the Japanese military reporters at that time, or the memoirs of foreign employees who served in the Beiyang Navy at that time, they all spoke highly of the performance of the officers and men of the Beiyang Navy in the Battle of Dadonggou!"

"Teacher, do you know the person Ma Jifen?"

"I'll tell you who he is, teacher, he was Zhen Yuan, second officer of the guns of the ironclad ship, lieutenant of the United States Navy. This foreigner once fought valiantly in the Battle of Dadonggou and was seriously wounded! After the end of the war, after returning to China, he wrote books and speeches, gave speeches everywhere, spared no effort to recount the heroic combat deeds of the officers and men of the Beiyang Navy, and called for the defeated Beiyang Navy to be given the respect it deserved! to reverse the prejudice of the people of the Beiyang Navy at that time! Teacher! …”

"Teacher, do you know? He committed suicide on the second anniversary of the suicide and martyrdom of his former boss and comrades-in-arms Ding Ruchang, Liu Buzhan, and Yang Yongshuang! In order to use his death to waive the guard to warn our fellow citizens! ”

In the end, the teacher could not debate with him, but chose another way to enlighten him.

…… I know that you are a good learner, your grades have always been good, and you have a wide range of extracurricular knowledge, but you must know that when you take the test, what you know cannot be taken as the right answer! I also admit that what you said makes sense, but what I teach you is the mainstream view of history! It's the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period! Do you understand? If you want to be admitted to a key high school or university, you have to answer the questions according to what I teach, understand? "I'm telling you this for your own good! I don't want to see you be misled by these ideas, delay your studies, and ruin your future! ”

In the face of the teacher's warm and caring admonition, he was silent for the first time. But in his heart, he has always been indignant for the hero who sleeps in the sea.

Because of his experience as a teenager, he paid more attention to the Beiyang Navy.

With the Internet, he had the opportunity to get in touch with more knowledge and a deeper understanding of that history.

And as he learned more about history, his antipathy to the lies that pervaded him became stronger and stronger.

"General, are you alright?" Xi Xue looked at him worriedly and asked softly.

Yang Shuoming finally came back to his senses, he smiled bitterly, and asked Xi Xue, "Does Xi Xue know about the Beiyang Navy?" ”

"Know." Xi Xue smiled slightly and said, "When I was in Yunjiban before, I had a sister who was An Weiren, who was the hometown of Lord Ding Ruchang, the commander of the Beiyang Navy Division. ”

"Oh?" Yang Shuoming couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her words, "Does she know about Admiral Ding's hometown?" ”

"Yes, I remember her saying that her home is not far from Langzhong Village, Gaolin Township, the hometown of Lord Ding, and when she was a child, she and her friends went to play in the barren grass on the hillside behind the village, and saw a large tombstone. She didn't know that she was scared at the time, she just thought that the words on the stone tablet were beautiful. Later, the lord told him that this was the cemetery of the officers and men of the Beiyang Navy who defected to Lord Ding. ”

Listening to Xi Xue's narration, Yang Shuoming's face showed a look of concentration.

She went there many times later, and the old man in the village told her that these graves were all tombs of husband and wife, and she was very envious that the husband and wife could stay together after they died, and she looked carefully at the tombstone and learned to recognize the words on it, and she found that the day of the death of the man on each tombstone was August 18 of the first year of the first year, and the cause of death was written in a bloody battle, and the day of the death of each wife was two months later. She was very strange, so she asked the old man what was going on, and the old man said that it was because the news reached his hometown two months after the death of the men who had defected to Lord Ding in the village, and their widows, after learning the news, all chose to commit suicide on the same day and left with their husbands. ”

Although the tone of Xi Xue's narration was as plain as before, as if she was telling a small story from the past generation, at this time, to Yang Shuoming's ears, it was tantamount to thunder on the ground!

"I didn't know there was such a thing yet", Yang Shuoming's fists were clenched hard, and the joints had turned white.

These things have been covered up by the so-called "mainstream view of history" forged by lies in later generations, and people have no way of knowing! Thinking of those shocking tombstones that made people can't help but burst into tears, as well as the injustice suffered by the Beiyang Navy officers who had been detained for a hundred years, Yang Shuoming's heart felt as if it was bleeding. ,

There is no navy after the North Seas! It is not the warships of the navy, but the defeat of the Beiyang, those sea souls that have passed, and the self-confidence that has disappeared. If there is anything that can recover those sea souls who went to the sea, it is to rebuild the navy, rebuild the Beiyang, and finally wash away the shame of the snow and the first day with a real victory!

At this moment, the "Flying Fish" sailed into the waters of Dadonggou, and Xiao Yonglin, after careful proofreading, commanded the "Flying Fish" to anchor on the battlefield of that year.

On the Chinese submarine floating on the surface of the sea, the ceremony of commemorating the martyrs officially began.

Xiao Yonglin opened the sacrificial text drafted by Yang Shuoming himself, and read it aloud:

"Before the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese invaded my subordinate state of Korea, invaded my territory, killed my people, my Beiyang Navy rose up to fight, although the ship was not fast, the artillery was slow, but the whole army, the soldiers used their lives, there was no invincible, bravely killed the enemy, there was no turning back, its majestic spirit, shocked the world and cried ghosts and gods, although unfortunately defeated, but although the body died, and the voice of the navy was victorious, so that it was to serve the country! May the loyal soul of my Beiyang Navy rest in heaven! ”

Xiao Yonglin's voice fell.

The deck guns on the "Exocet" were fired, and the rumbling sound of the cannons resounded through the sea and air, and at this moment, the officers and men of the Chinese Navy expressed their high respect to the ancestors of the Beiyang Navy who were sleeping at the bottom of the sea in this way.

In the midst of the rumbling of cannons, at the bow of the boat, two sailors carried a wreath with the five-color national flag and the flag of the Japanese Navy captured from the Japanese ship in the last naval battle, and in the solemn sound of the cannon, the wreath was thrown into the sea from the bow of the ship.
