Chapter 85: A Powerful Armed Cruise Ship!
Wang Jingchun graduated from the sixth pilot class of Nanjing Jiangnan Naval Academy at the age of 20, and successively served as the first mate of the Manchu Navy "United Whale" gunboat, the first officer of the "Hupeng" torpedo boat, and the first officer of the "Chutai" gunboat. After the establishment of the Republic of China, he became the adjutant of the First Fleet Command of the Navy in March 1912.
In June 1921, he was transferred to the gunboat "Yongjian" as captain, and in July 1926, he was assigned to the cruiser "Hairong" as captain. In March 1937, after leading his troops to join the National Revolutionary Army, he still served as the captain of the "Hairong". In February 1934, he was promoted to commander of the training fleet rear admiral. In September 1935, he was promoted to rear admiral.
It can be said that in the decades of ups and downs since the founding of the Republic of China, Wang Jingchun has gone through too many times, and he has also seen all kinds of people, and he has long refined a pair of fiery eyes that can read and recognize people.
Whether a person is good or evil, you must not just look at the appearance. The essence must be seen through the appearance.
A strange person like His Majesty Cheng Gong, that's right, Wang Jingchun has already regarded Cheng Gong as "the No. 1 strange person in the Republic of China" in his heart, who can kill the corpses of the Japanese invaders all over the field, and the blood flows like a river, and he can not hesitate to send the most elite subordinates to kill in order to protect innocent civilians from being slaughtered by the Japanese invaders, such a strange person, even if he seems to be mediocre and absurd on the surface, his essence is definitely a great good person.
As to why Cheng Gong had to repeatedly emphasize that the "King" was a private armed yacht, Wang Jingchun judged that His Majesty the King did not want to openly challenge the "London Naval Treaty" on the surface.
The international community is so strange, there are some things you can do, but you just can't put them on the table and talk about them clearly.
Because the great powers all have one purpose: the truth is only within the range of the cannon!
As long as the cannon in your hand is powerful enough, everything you say is the truth.
Therefore, His Majesty Cheng Gong said that the "King" is not a battleship if it is not a battleship, and that it is a private yacht is a private yacht.
Wang Jingchun knew that in fact, His Majesty Cheng Gong did have a luxury cruise ship with a displacement of more than 80,000 tons and a maximum speed of more than 45 knots. But His Majesty Cheng Gong preferred not to enjoy it himself, but took the cruise ship to transport immigrants, and said that it was a special ship for the elderly, women and children, and no one could call it.
It is really a blessing for a country to have such a diligent and loving king!
Wang Jingchun looked at Cheng Gong who was lying on a chair under the bridge with his eyes closed and recuperated with reverence, and secretly sighed.
In this life, he Wang Jingchun has the honor to command and control such the world's most powerful super battleship to escort His Majesty, and he will die without regrets!
From time immemorial, our Huaxia Navy can also have such a huge ship cannon!
The 52 times caliber 480MM triple cannon is definitely the most powerful and longest-range super naval gun in the world today! Even Britain and the United States, which claim to be the strongest navies, can't build it!
With a length of 289.5 meters, a width of 39.6 meters, and a maximum displacement of 73,500 tons, this huge body is also a unique giant that cannot be matched by any naval power in the world! And the most incredible thing is that this giant can run a maximum speed of 35 knots!
The advanced radar navigation and fire control system has made the Dongying Navy, which has always been known for its accurate naval gun shooting skills and has long held the world record for the target hit rate and dispersion accuracy of the world's naval capital ships, also feel ashamed of its inferiority.
Because Wang Jingchun created a terrifying hit rate of 26.5%, 22.4%, and 19.8% at a distance of 35,200 meters, 39,400 meters, and 42,100 meters in high-speed cruising in the previous three live-fire exercises accompanied by the Dongying Navy!
This means that in the naval artillery bombardment, the "King" can easily suppress any of the main battleships of the world's navies today, and can only parry the opponent, but have no power to fight back.
This is the pride of the Chinese world! At the same time, it is also the pride of Chinese people!
Obviously, in Wang Jingchun's heart, Donghui and Huaxia are basically a family, but the children have grown up and become a family, so they have their own families.
The debate between the navies of the world about which is more useful, aircraft carriers or battleships, was originally concluded because of the appearance of the "Yamato-class" heavy aircraft carriers: the development of aircraft carriers is correct!
However, after Donghui's "king-class" super giant made its public debut in the Pacific Ocean, the "aircraft carrier invincibility theory" was quickly overturned.
In the end, the British and American navies came to the conclusion that aircraft carriers should be engaged, submarines should be engaged, and battleships should be engaged.
As a result, as the curtain of a new round of armament competition of the navies of various countries has quietly opened, orders have flown to the world's major shipyards like snow, and the global shipbuilding industry has ushered in the most prosperous golden age in history.
The more he understands the design concept of the battleship "King", which is heavy firepower, heavy armor, and high speed, the more Wang Jingchun is full of infinite longing for the future of the Donghui Navy.
……
10 Downing Street, London, UK.
Churchill, the former Admiralty Secretary who had been at home, was once again invited by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to the center of the British Empire's cabinet of power.
Since the debut of the King-class battleship "King" in the Pacific Ocean, the British Royal Navy immediately felt a heavy pressure on its face.
Although the king of Donghui repeatedly emphasized in front of reporters from various countries that this was only his private armed yacht, no one took his words seriously.
"Donghui, that king is a-stirring stick! This bastard has completely muddied the whole world with the gold in his hand! The British Empire must impose sanctions on this bastard country! Otherwise, our interests in the Far East will be eaten away by Donghui little by little! ”
Churchill regarded himself as the current Lord of the Navy, and without any scruples criticized the "appeasement policy" pursued by the Chamberlain cabinet, and shouted indignantly at the cabinet ministers of the British Empire: "Gentlemen, I solemnly remind you once again that the development of Donghui must be curbed immediately, immediately, and decisively!" Once he has put down roots in Dutch New Guinea, that shameless bastard king will surely reach out to Australia! So, we have to stop him! Have to! ”
"Your Excellency Churchill, you are completely irresponsible and hypothetical, a typical alarmist!" Trade Secretary Oliver Stanley did not give the former Admiralty any face, and directly retorted: "The Cabinet called you here to hear your good suggestions for the new plan for the development of the Royal Navy, not to let you make a big deal of nonsense here!" ”
The Dominion Secretary, Edward Montague Cavendish Stanley, answered in a nonchalant manner from his seat: "The intention of the Kingdom of Donghui to encroach on Australia is the biggest joke of the century I have ever heard.
Excellency Churchill, do you know what the Donghui Cabinet is made up of? Do you know what kind of people are in charge of all the functional departments of the state institutions of the Donghui Kingdom? A country in which even the head of government is composed of members of fifteen countries would plot against the colonies of the British Empire? ”
"It's all an illusion! It's all an illusion deliberately created by Donghui's bastard king! Churchill insisted, indignantly: "That's a damn liar!" He used his acting skills comparable to Oscar-winning actors to deceive everyone in the world! Including all of you! But that bastard can't fool me Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill! ”
