"Wang Hengyue's troops, the performance on the battlefield is beyond everyone's expectations, according to the current situation, it is difficult for the Beiyang side to stop Wang Hengyue!"

Hatohiro Shiriguchi's face was solemn and worried: "The empire has invested a lot of manpower and financial resources in the Beiyang political axe, and once it fails, the interests of the entire empire in China will inevitably be greatly damaged. After Sun Wen stepped down, the southern political axe was completely in the hands of Wang Hengyue, and what was unpleasant was that this person was a complete anti-imperial person! ”

Rotsuo, who has dealt with Wang Hengyue for many years, is the one who is most reluctant to see Wang Hengyue complete the great cause of military reunification: "Your Excellency Consul General, from the intelligence analysis, Beiyang is not the opponent of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and what is even more terrifying is that Wang Hengyue seems to have many new weapons and have not appeared on the battlefield, but our intelligence system in the south has been greatly damaged, so we cannot get all the intelligence in the south."

"Is there any plan?" Hatohiro Shiriguchi asked indifferently.

"Yes, we have a 'net plan'." Yanzhidao Luxiong blurted out: "The only way to stop Wang Hengyue at the moment is to assassinate him, as long as the assassination is successful, there will be chaos in the southern political axe, and his Northern Expedition will be stopped for this, but the most critical part of the whole plan is how to transfer Yu Lei, director of the Bureau of Statistics of China, from Wang Hengyue's body, this person is too much of a threat to us." ”

Hatohiro Shiriguchi glanced at him, "Do you want to assassinate Yu Lei together?" Since he was assassinated last time, he had strengthened his guards, and if he was assassinated first, it would definitely arouse Wang Hengyue's vigilance. ”

"No!" Yannoshima Luxiong shook his head: "What we have to do is just transfer Yu Lei away from Wang Hengyue's side"

Hatohiro Shiriguchi muttered there for a long time: "Yannoshima-kun, let it go, don't fail this time." The interests of the empire in China must be protected to the greatest extent possible. Wang Hengyue must not let him get the entire branch. Otherwise, I have a hunch that this will be a terrible thing. ”

"Hello!"

"Chen Shaokuan, Chen Houfu!"

Wang Hengyue laughed and walked towards Chen Shaokuan, and shook his hand: "My Captain Chen, it's really not easy to invite you here, come, please take a seat." ”

Chen Shaokuan smiled bitterly: "President, where are you inviting me, it's just kidnapping." First use warships to control my ship, and then send people to take me to Canton. ”

"Houfu, you really can't blame me for this." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "Beiyang political axe is crazy, send you a small practice ship to support Fujian." To put it mildly, no matter how weak the strength of my Dharma Protector fleet is, it's still no problem to fight you a practice ship, right? I'm afraid that my navy will hurt you, so I can't do it! ”

Chen Shaokuan also knew that Wang Hengyue didn't want to hurt him, he just wanted to take himself for his own use, and he didn't worry much: "Yanjing Zheng Axe really has no choice, more than half of the fleet is with you, and the rest have been sent to the Sino-Russian border, Fujian is shouting for reinforcements every day, but where are the reinforcements?" My arrival in Fujian is more symbolic. ”

"Reunification is a matter of time or time, and you, Chen Houfu, will have to do things for me sooner or later." Wang Hengyue said confidently: "Since it is done early and late, it is better to do it early." That's why I brought you here. I'm afraid that after the reunification is completed, you, Chen Houfu, will leave the country in a fit of anger because you don't know the inside story, and it will be too late to invite you out of the mountain at that time. ”

Chen Shaokuan had a good impression of Wang Hengyue, this person didn't hide what he said at all, and he said whatever he wanted in his heart.

I had heard that the great president of the south loved talent as much as his life, but if he had some talent, he couldn't wait to pull it under his command immediately, and now he saw that it was really true.

"I've read several of your books, and they're very well written." Cheng Biguang, the chief commander of the navy who accompanied him to come, said: "Our navy lacks talents, Brother Houfu has traveled to Europe and the United States, has seen extraordinary, and can share weal and woe with the soldiers on the ship, which is exactly what we need most, Houfu, don't hesitate anything." ”

Chen Shaokuan thought for a moment: "I wonder what plans the President and Chief Cheng have for the future development of the Chinese Navy?" ”

Wang Hengyue was not in a hurry to answer, and asked rhetorically: "What do you think?" ”

"If you want to win a naval battle, you must have a battleship with a larger tonnage than your opponent, carry more guns, and have a larger caliber than the opponent, which is the only way to win a decisive battle!" Chen Shaokuan smiled slightly and said.

Cheng Biguang nodded frequently, but Wang Hengyue laughed in his heart.

You Chen Shaokuan just pretend, just come and test Lao Tzu. From the moment you see an aircraft carrier in Britain, you conclude that this is the key to determining the outcome of a future naval battle.

At a time when the European and American powers were still skeptical about the role of aircraft carriers in naval warfare, you had the idea of building Chinese aircraft carriers, otherwise how could you later propose China's jaw-dropping plan to build 20 aircraft carriers!

Cheng Biguang was a veteran Chinese admiral, and his defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, as well as the Russian naval battles of Tsushima and the naval battles of Delan made him convinced of the doctrine of large ships and huge artillery, and he was inferior to Chen Shaokuan in this regard.

Wang Hengyue thought of this and said with a smile: "In my opinion, sooner or later, large ships and huge guns will be eliminated, and the development of aircraft carriers is the mainstream of the future navy." ”

Cheng Biguang shook his head slightly, and he didn't know why the president was so interested in what aircraft carriers and submarines, and the manpower and material resources for the development of the navy were almost inclined in this direction, especially after the president entered Guangzhou, he was even more obsessed with investing huge sums of money in the development of these two things, and for this reason, he also purchased a merchant ship to convert it into an aircraft carrier. He has repeatedly proposed to buy or build a number of giant battleships, but he has been perfunctory by the president under various pretexts.

Chen Shaokuan's eyes lit up.

In Europe and the United States, although aircraft carriers have been introduced, they have not received the attention of the navies of various countries, let alone at home. However, the great president who is now in front of him has decisively put forward the idea that aircraft carriers are the mainstream of the future development of the navy, which is surprising and strange.

The president is from the army, how can he be so familiar with the importance of the navy? The name "aircraft carrier" was only coined last year, and it has always been called "seaplane carrier" before, how did the president who has always been in the country call this title all at once?

Chen Shaokuan decided to test it again: "I'm afraid the president is exaggerating." "Brother Houfu." Wang Hengyue's face was solemn: "Actually, you know better than me in your heart that since the 'Fury' and 'Hundred-Eyed Giant' came out one after another, the development of aircraft carriers has been very fast. After completing the refit of the "Athletic", the British Navy converted the large ships "Engadan", "Queen", "Campania", "Brave" and "Brilliant" into seaplane carriers. A total of fifteen seaplane carriers were rebuilt in the British. During the Battle of Dardanelles, a British seaplane was ordered to leave the mothership and sink a 5,000-ton Turkish warship. Before the end of the European war, seven carrier-based aircraft that took off from the "Fury" bombed the German air base, which already showed the huge combat capability of the aircraft carrier. ”

Cheng Biguang and Chen Shaokuan listened very carefully.

Wang Hengyue was silent there: "China's navy is too far behind the great powers, and it is too difficult to catch up. But this ship is easy to build, what about the combat quality of the navy? I have repeatedly said that to become a maritime power, it is not necessary to have a number of battleships, but to rely on the efforts of several generations. But what if the naval battle comes early? There is no other way but to win. What's the oddity? One on a submarine and one on an aircraft carrier! ”

Chen Shaokuan almost stood up.

It's all in my heart. If the Chinese Navy wants to become strong in a short period of time, it may not be able to catch up with the great powers in another 20 years.

But in China, how can I be qualified to put forward my thoughts?

But fortunately, the great president of the South coincided with himself, and he set his sights on submarines and aircraft carriers.

Seeing Chen Shaokuan's appearance, Cheng Biguang smiled, and there was some unwillingness in his words: "Houfu, you don't know that." This time, the president was ruthless and allocated a huge sum of 100 million yuan to develop the navy, most of which was put on submarines and aircraft carriers, but the plan I formulated for the manufacture and purchase of battleships was delayed again and again by the president! ”

"Really? One hundred million? Chen Shaokuan's eyes glowed with blazing light.

"Really, 100 million!" Wang Hengyue nodded affirmatively: "I got a few huge sums of money, and I gave priority to investing the money in the navy, and Chief Cheng's opinion is very big." Now that our first aircraft carrier, the USS Development, which was converted from a merchant marine, has been completed and successfully conducted sea trials, the next step is to continue to expand this naval program! ”

Seeing that the flame in Chen Shaokuan's eyes was burning more and more fiercely, Wang Hengyue added another fire to it: "But this is transformed by a merchant ship after all, and it is not an aircraft carrier in the real sense, at best, it can only let planes take off and land on it." So, the next step I'm going to make a huge plan, a plan that belongs entirely to the Navy, the 'Dragon Project'! ”

The dragon plan is to let a Chinese dragon take off on the sea! Sooner or later, China will become a naval power, and although it will take a lot of effort to usher in this day, no matter what effort is put in for this goal, it will be worth it!

Chen Shaokuan finally couldn't hold back any longer: "President, is there still a place in your navy?" Although Chen Shaokuan has no ability, he is also willing to do his best for the president's dragon plan and my dream of the Chinese Navy! ”

Wang Hengyue stood up with a smile: "Houfu, the position has already been prepared for you!" ”
