Since the beginning of the sea off Florida, Fang Ying has devoted herself to the study of aircraft carrier tactics, which often communicates with Li Kongrong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He bluntly said the essence of aircraft carrier operations, Chen Shaokuan kept nodding his head and felt that Li Kongrong was everywhere. Zhou Xianxian was right, the entire fleet was built according to Li Kongrong's intentions, and the officers and men of the new navy were deeply affected by it. This is not bad, but Li Kongrong, like Lin Xianxi, has deep hostility and vigilance towards Chongqing, which is extremely detrimental to the reconstruction of the navy (department).

What is the performance of carrier-based aircraft, Chen Shaokuan is just a casual observation, what he cares about is everyone's attitude towards himself and Chongqing. After the tour of the carrier-based aircraft, he visited the catapult and arresting cable used on the deck for launching and landing, and then went down from the elevator to the hangar deck to visit the hangar. The Tongji has a drainage of only 7,500 tons, and the hangar naturally has only one floor, which is 130 meters long and 16 meters wide. Because it is a broadside lift, the 130-meter hangar can place ten rows of carrier-based aircraft, 30 attack aircraft and 40 fighters.

"This aircraft carrier is also going to sea to fight?" The hangar was not full of planes, but according to Fang Ying's introduction, this ship's 25-section training aircraft carrier can also go to sea to fight.

"Hansheng said that he could also make a cameo when necessary." Fang Ying replied. "But after all, the tonnage is here, and if you really want to go to sea to fight, there are few cabins on the ship and there are not enough flight crews, so it's great to have thirty aircraft."

"Hmm. There is no armor and anti-aircraft artillery yet. Chen Shaokuan followed Fang Ying's train of thought and said, no wonder it was 'a cameo when necessary'. He looked at the busy aircrews surrounding the plane in the hangar, and said earnestly: "Xiuruo, don't go down the wrong path with Li Hansheng, the navy has been the navy of the national government since the revolution, not the private fleet of Li Hansheng and Li Yiguan." ”

"Yes, Minister." Fang Ying said. "Hansheng said a long time ago that the fleet is not his alone, but all his brothers."

"What all brothers, the fleet belongs to the national government." Chen Shaokuan felt very uncomfortable when he saw him take a bite of Hansheng. "I heard that he and Xiang Xin basically have the final say in the fleet, and other people's opinions don't listen at all?"

"Fleet ......" Fang Ying looked at Zhou Xianxian, who was a few steps behind Chen Shaokuan, and said: "What planes to buy, what ships to build, and which companies to buy, these are all Hansheng's decisions, and others don't understand at all." Aircraft carrier training is also according to his intentions, otherwise it will not work at all, we are not familiar with aircraft carriers. ”

"What about the shares of Xinzhong?" Chen Shaokuan's face was still not harmonious, "It is said that the entire Xinzhong Company is under his name, and it seems to have become his private property." ”

"I don't know." Fang Ying really didn't know about the internal affairs of Xinzhong Company, but he believed that the company was by no means Li Kongrong's private property, if this was the case, why did he take his people to fish for shipwrecks off the coast of Florida? Can't you find a boat yourself?

"I also feel heartache about Ji Liang's matter, but the deceased has passed away, and the domestic situation is difficult, so I always think about these things, which is not good for the war and the country." Chen Shaokuan finally mentioned Chen Jiliang. "Now the government intends to rebuild the navy, but you can't do that. The state is the parent, the navy is the son. Beating, scolding and scolding are common, but the son does not recognize his parents, what kind of system is this? ”

Speaking of the current situation, Chen Shaokuan was heartbroken, he really didn't expect that the navy would not even recognize the blue sky and white sun flag now. They are all from Fuzhou, there is little estrangement between Fang Ying and Chen Shaokuan, he said: "Minister, let me tell you the truth, the navy is now convenient to do without the government's control, and if you really want to go back to the way before, you have to ask for instructions and report everything, and many things are estimated to be impossible to do now." Besides, since the situation is difficult at home, can Chongqing afford the Navy's military spending? ”

"Military spending?" Chen Shaokuan didn't expect Fang Ying to raise military spending. "Isn't the Navy itself rich?"

"But this money belongs to everyone in the navy." Fang Ying said seriously, "I said to this some time ago that Xinzhong Company will distribute it to everyone according to military rank and military age, we can't use our own money to fight, right?" ”

"You're going to divide the new Chinese company?!" Chen Shaokuan's eyes widened, and he said why everyone had no opinion on Li Kongrong's shareholding in Xinzhong, it turned out that the company was going to divide it privately.

"yes. The company is originally from the navy, can't it be distributed to the navy? Fang Ying was very surprised to see Chen Shaokuan's reaction so big.

"Nope." Chen Shaokuan originally wanted to say that the company belonged to the state, but no matter how it was calculated, the company had nothing to do with the country - the shipwreck was not excavated in China, and if it really wanted to be handed over, it should be handed over to the United States or Spain, and it could not be handed over to Chongqing. "Xiuruo, the government is fighting the war, and many officials and soldiers can't even eat enough, you ...... Privately divided the new company, do you think this is in the past? ”

"......" Fang Ying was speechless about Chen Shaokuan's moral criticism, he only felt that Xinzhong was created by the navy, and there was nothing wrong with everyone dividing their parts, as for the domestic officials and soldiers who were not well fed, what does this have to do with the navy? Isn't the state a parent?

"You have all been taken by Xiang Xin and Li Hansheng!" Chen Shaokuan saw the incomprehension and confusion in Fang Ying's eyes, and sighed heavily. "If Ji Liang knew that you were doing this, Jiuquan would also be uneasy."

"Minister......" Zhou Yingcong came over with a telegram, "I just received the news that Hansheng has arrived in New York." ”

"Oh. He's back? Chen Shaokuan pursed his lips and said, he was becoming more and more dissatisfied with this unruly person.

"Yes. I just arrived in the morning and said that he had been in England for two weeks. Zhou Yingcong said.

"What is he doing in England?" Chen Shaokuan took the telegram and looked at it, and then returned it to Zhou Yingcong.

"I don't know. However, he had a great deal to do with the British. Zhou Yingcong took the telegram. Xu is deliberating about the Marine Corps. ”

"Marines?" The Navy rebuilt its fleet, and the Marine Corps also had to rebuild, and soldiers were recruited in the United States. It's just that no one knows where this 7,000-strong force will end up. "Chairman Lin, where are they now? Still in Washington? ”

"Maybe." Zhou Yingcong thought for a while and said, "Washington is not far from New York, if Minister Song hears that Hansheng is back, he will probably go to New York immediately, we have to go to New York as soon as possible." ”

"Then you go and arrange it right away, and we'll go to New York right away." Chen Shaokuan instructed. This time, he accompanied Song Ziwen and Lin Sen not to go ashore in New York via the Atlantic, but to sit in the Pacific Ocean and fly to San Francisco to enter the customs. In this way, it is natural to come to the United States before Li Kongrong. And he, when Song Ziwen Linsen went to Washington, accompanied by Zhou Xianxian, came here to visit the training aircraft carrier. Now that Li Kongrong has arrived in New York, it seems that the affairs of the Navy are about to be completely resolved.

Chen Shaokuan instructed Zhou Yingcong and Zhou Xianzhang to arrange a trip to New York, and in the Rockefeller Hospital in New York, Li Kongrong, who was visiting Lin Xianxian with his wife and daughter, was bedridden after he was injured.

"This is Pepe, my wife. This is Nannan, born when she first arrived in Germany, and she is already three years old. Lin Xianxi's face was pale, he lay on the bed with his head sideways and looked at Li Kongrong's family of three smiling, he knew that Li Kongrong was visiting him as a junior.

"Good. Good. Lin Xianxin squeezed out a little smile on his face, he looked at his wife, and Mrs. Lin, who knew about it, took out the prepared things and handed them to Xu Peipei and the child, "See you for the first time, this is a meeting gift, take it." ”

"This ...... How good," Xu Peipei looked at her husband, and when she saw her husband nodding, she took the things in Mrs. Lin's hand.

"You guys go out first." Li Kongrong whispered to his wife, he still has something to talk about with Lin Xianxi next.

"Yes." Xu Peipei went out with the child, and Mrs. Lin went out with her, she seemed to want to explain something when she left, but in the end she closed the door without saying anything.

"Hansheng, is there any smoke?" As soon as Mrs. Lin left, Lin Xianxi wanted to smoke a cigarette, which made Li Kongrong laugh, but he still lit a cigarette and stuffed it in Lin Xianxi's mouth.

"Houfu is here." After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Lin Xianxin talked about Chen Shaokuan.

"I know." Li Kongrong also lit a cigarette, and he knew that Chen Shaokuan was coming in London.

"The news from China is that Chang Kaishen wants to reorganize the Admiralty, but because of Germany, this matter cannot be done for the time being, and it is estimated that only a naval department can be set up first." Lin Xianxin said the news, which was inquired by the intelligence department.

"Hmm." Li Kongrong nodded. "He wants to pull the navy through Minister Chen, an old-fashioned method."

"What are you going to do?" Lin Xianxin asked. "Houfu is a minister after all, if he says he goes back, most people will go back."

"It's better to go." Li Kongrong didn't care. "But the pilots and ground crews are newly trained, and he can't take these people."

"Huh...... Cough... cough" Lin Xianxin wanted to laugh but coughed, he forcibly said: "You have thought of everything." But you didn't... Cough... Without these people, can the aircraft carrier be driven? ”

"When they go back, they will be Bray, receiving the fiat currency that depreciates every day, and I don't think most people will go back." On the way here, Li Kongrong thought about what Chen Shaokuan might do and what harm he would bring to the fleet.

"Hmm." Lin Xianxin nodded with difficulty, "I'm relieved that you can think like this, but it's not appropriate for you to collide with Houfu after all." I've asked Xiang Jin to come forward to face him, don't come out this time. ”

"I'm afraid I can't do it if I don't get out." Li Kongrong has long known that Lin Guogeng is on his side, but his qualifications in the navy are not enough - he was in charge of Xiamen for the past ten years, and he only has a name in the navy. "Besides, we don't disagree with Chongqing, but we don't think that the navy is subordinate to the Chongqing Nationalist Government. The relationship between us and Chongqing is not one between superiors and subordinates, but one of equals, and it is not that we will carry out whatever Chongqing orders, and any operational plan must be drawn up through consultation between the two sides. Of course, this is just rhetoric, and considering that Chongqing has been seriously infiltrated by enemy agents, we and Chongqing can only roughly determine the direction of the campaign, but cannot determine the details of the campaign. ”

"Ahem...... Lin Xianxi's body is indeed not good, he coughed for a long time and drank a sip of water before saying: "Chongqing...... Chongqing will never agree to such conditions. What Chang Kaishen wants is the absolute allegiance of the navy, not to say that he is loyal personally, but to the party-state. ”

"The party-state and the navy have nothing to do with each other, so if you can't talk about it, you can't talk about it." Speaking of the party-state, Li Kongrong was very disdainful, "I sometimes feel very strange, why does the navy have to be subordinate to the national government? If you say it well, he is the government, but if you don't say it well, he is a warlord, and the navy and the government do not violate the river water, so why must you be loyal to the party-state? To tell the truth, instead of being loyal to the party-state Sun Yat-sen, it is better to be loyal to Marxism and Lenin. Isn't it just to find a father for yourself, what kind of Russian father is not better than the national father? ”

"Haha...... Cough... Cough... cough," Li Kongrong said so bluntly, Lin Xianxin laughed and coughed again, Mrs. Lin outside the door heard the sound and pushed the door open, it can be seen that Lin Xianxi waved her hand and had to close it.

"Don't talk about anger, think about how to deal with the current situation." Lin Xianxin held back his cough and said. "Also, Zhou Xianzhang should pay attention, some people have seen him have private meetings with Xiao Bo, the military attache stationed in China, several times, and it is likely that he has been bought off by Chongqing."

"Zhou Charter?" Li Kongrong really has no impression of this person.

"Although he went to the UK to study in the eighteenth year of the People's Republic of China, he was not on the ship for a long time and became a naval attache in the UK, so I don't plan to train him as a captain, and he has a lot of opinions about this." Lin Xianxin said. "This time he heard that Houfu was coming, so he put down what he was doing and hurried to San Francisco."

"I see. How much does he know about things inside the Navy? Li Kongrong nodded and then became worried.

"Whoever should know knows, and those who shouldn't know don't." Lin Xianxin seemed to be smiling, regaining some of his former glory. "Let's talk about the navy, since Hansheng, you don't want to occupy the island as the king, what will the navy do in the future?"

"I don't know." Li Kongrong is also very confused about the future, if the foreign war is to be fought, he does not want to participate in the civil war. "Maybe she will be an overseas Chinese navy in the future. The Ryukyus, Singapore, and Dijego-Suarez would be her bases, and the military expenses would be shared between these places, so that she would always survive. ”

"Diego-Suarez?" Lin Xianxin thought about this place, and finally said: "This seems to be the Indian Ocean." ”

"It's French Madagascar in the Indian Ocean." Li Kongrong said: "If Nanyang is really occupied by the Japanese army, the overseas Chinese will retreat to Madagascar, and then find a way to control this island." East Africa is very barren, there is no oil and no gold, and it is far from the Suez Canal, as long as we can defeat the French navy in the future, it will be Chinese. There are a lot of forests and arable land, and it is unlikely that you will make a fortune, but it is easy to feed your family.

On the Malayan side, we first tried our best to protect the interests of the British, and after the war, we tried to find a way to retain the British rule in Malaya. We must never act against Britain and the United States, and we should not buy the accounts of the mainland, so as not to create a situation in which Britain and the United States support the natives and suppress the Chinese, and in this way, Malaya will eventually become Chinese. The tactics of the Dutch East Indies were similar, but the Java sect was complex and required extreme caution.

The Ryukyus were to be taken back from Japan, not to the government. Its strategic location is too important, and the air base here can remotely control China, Japan, and South Korea, which Taiwan cannot match. The population of the Ryukyus is very small, and as soon as we take it, the families of the soldiers will immediately land on the island, and then the island will be full of Fujianese, and the island will be ours. ”
