Chen Shaokuan spoke to the crowd of people who were sending the plaque to Zhu Jie, and he appeared in the newspaper that night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info articles praising the Navy for a while were covered with newspapers, and the previous 128 incident was said to be a burden of humiliation. The next day, in Chen Shaokuan's apartment on Zhongshan North Road, Chen Jiliang, who had come back secretly, looked at those newspapers and wanted to laugh all the time, but the reality was that after the First World War, the navy of Jinshanwei was praised by the whole country and loved by all the people.

"How's Yuyuki's side?" Chen Jiliang put down the newspaper in his hand. The dust has settled on Jinshanwei's side, and it is impossible for the Japanese to come again for the time being, so the only ships the navy is now outside the Ninghai in the eastern Pacific.

"The Japanese are chasing after them. This time it's not just destroyers, but also aircraft carriers, Mazu bless. Chen Shaokuan's eyebrows were a little worried. What is the situation on Jinshanwei's side? Is it possible for the Japanese to come back? ”

"The landing of the Japanese is a surprise attack, and we are all prepared, so there will be no surprise attack, and it is said that they will not come again." After answering, Chen Jiliang began to put forward his thoughts: "The Japanese army sank a lot of ships in Jinshanwei, so I wondered if I could pick up some......

Unexpectedly, Chen Jiliang had such thoughts, Chen Shaokuan smiled and said: "The Japanese will let us fish?" The sea is not shallow, not to mention that it can't be fished up, but where do we drag it up? The shipyards were moved to Chongqing. Also, do you have the money to repair it? ”

In the end, the Natori tried to escape at high tide, but was naturally sunk by the navy. There are also those destroyers close to the coast, the masts can be seen when they sink down, Chen Jiliang is itching when he sees this pile of warships, any of them here is stronger than the Ninghai.

"And how will the navy be rebuilt? Just rely on the Ninghai to capture the Japanese mail ship? Chen Jiliang asked rhetorically. But he said in the army that he had a plan to rebuild the navy, and since his words came out, he would naturally take them seriously. "If a cruise ship is to be converted into an aircraft carrier, it must be rebuilt, which requires a lot of money. Even if it is changed to an aircraft carrier, it will also be escorted by destroyer cruisers, and we have nothing but those old torpedo boats! What is Shao Sheng's idea over there? How do you say that? ”

Whose plan it was for the Ninghai to break the diplomatic relationship and the Jin Shanwei ambush, Chen Jiliang naturally knew. It's just that he hasn't contacted Li Kongrong directly, and he doesn't know what the navy should do next. Chen Shaokuan was actually also having a headache, he said: "Don't talk about Shaosheng's side, you better prepare first, and then remove the fort on Jinshanwei's side first." ”

"What, you're going to withdraw soon?!" Chen Jiliang was taken aback, he thought that he would hold on to Jinshanwei until next year.

"Definitely withdraw! The Japanese suffered such a big loss, losing 50,000 or 60,000 people, with their temperament, can they not retaliate? Chen Shaokuan said. If the Japanese do not land in the northern part of Hangzhou Bay, they will directly increase their troops in Shanghai and defeat them from the front. Shao Sheng has already called to say that there is such a possibility, and he wants us to prepare for retreat. In the past two days, the fighting in Shanghai has also been extremely fierce, and it seems that a new division has been transferred from the Japanese side, and if it had not been for the desperate support, the defense line would have been broken long ago. ”

Chen Shaokuan is talking about the 16th and 114th Divisions transferred from North China, and the 16th Division landed at Baimaokou on November 13, also using the number of flank and rear outflanked roads, but because there were not enough ships, the landing was delayed until November 13; The 114th Division belonged to the 10th Army, and it was also lagging behind due to transportation reasons, but it was really inconvenient for Jinshanwei to land, and later it landed from Shanghai. Now that the two and a half divisions of the 10th Army have been almost completely wiped out at Jinshanwei, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, which is aware of internal leaks, will be transferred to Wusongkou to go ashore to strengthen the Shanghai Dispatch Army. At this time, the Japanese army in Shanghai was already seven and a half divisions.

Originally, he still wanted to salvage warships, but now that he heard that Jin Shanwei was about to withdraw, Chen Jiliang said in horror: "The situation is collapsing like this?!" So what do we do? Withdraw to lay mines along the Yangtze River? The three torpedo boats of about 100 tons may be able to return to the Yangtze River from the river, and the Jiankang is a 400-ton ship with a draft of 2.7 meters. ”

"We won a great victory in Jinshanwei, don't you think the reaction of the Japanese is too strange? There was no news. Chen Shaokuan said. At the end of last month, the chairman of the NPC National Committee made a report on the relocation of the capital to Chongqing and the future of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Now it is only for the sake of calling foreigners and the meeting of the Nine-Power Pact that he insists on it in Shanghai. The Navy's arrangement in Jinshanwei is also subordinate to the Army's overall situation in Shanghai, so don't think that Jinshanwei will always defend it. ”

Chen Shaokuan's words are tantamount to pouring cold water on Chen Jiliang, who has a fever in his brain. Indeed, the great victory of Jinshanwei, including the Japanese navy, estimated the destruction of two and a half divisions of the Japanese army, about 60,000 people, but this could not change the situation of the entire Battle of Songhu, and could only delay the loss of Shanghai. Five and a half divisions have already worked very hard, and now the Japanese army is holding its breath under this heavy blow, and the domestic army is urgently mobilizing, and a few more divisions and regiments are coming to Shanghai 700,000 countries. The army had to withdraw. As soon as the army withdraws, the navy will withdraw, and what kind of warships are fished, and it is true that those dozens of naval guns were transported under the Japanese planes.

"Jiankang let her go to sea to Fujian at night. She can also drive to more than 20 knots, walk for two nights, one night to Wenzhou, and another night to Ningde, just hide in Ningde, and wait for the submarine to come back and then cooperate with the action. Chen Shaokuan said the arrangement of the Admiralty, which was also well thought-out. Originally, the Jiankang could have gone to Guangdong, but after all, it was the place where Chen Ce of the Fourth Fleet was, and it must have been sent over with meat buns and dogs, and there was no return.

"What's going on with the submarine? Will it be delivered in the middle of next year? Chen Jiliang just wanted to smoke, but thinking that Chen Shaokuan didn't like the smell of smoke, he took it in his hand and put it down.

"Submarine......" Chen Shaokuan shook his head. Germany now has two lines reporting to him, one is Li Kongrong, and the other is Wang Zhiguang, the shipyard supervisor. Previously, the German Navy refused to send training boats to naval cadets, and Chen Shaokuan was quite worried, not wanting Li Kongrong to solve the problem as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. He believed that now that China and Japan are mediating under the auspices of Germany, and that there will be no change in Germany during the mediation period, but if the mediation fails, Germany will have to choose a side, and with the tendencies of Hitler and the National Socialist Party, they will naturally choose Japan. As for how long the pro-Chinese army, foreign affairs, and banks can last, it depends on whether Field Marshal von Blomburg will be ousted by the National Socialist Party.

Li Kongrong was discharged from the hospital last month, and last month he wrote this report that comprehensively expounded the trilateral relations between China, Japan and Germany, and Chen Shaokuan is reading it in the past few days. Although he did not say that the Germans would definitely not hand over the boat, what he meant was that after the mediation was over, there would be a big turning point in Sino-German relations, and this time Germany was likely to refuse to hand over the boat at the request of Japan.

"Can't Shao Sheng negotiate more with Germany and fight for power to bring the submarine back?" Chen Jiliang also came to his senses after being poured cold water just now - the navy will soon not be able to see the sea. Now his only hope is that the two submarines will come back, and they will be assigned to the 1st Fleet together with the Ninghai at that time, whether it is the breaking of diplomatic relations or the rebuilding of the navy, at least he still has a few ships in his hand.

"No matter how capable Shao Sheng is, he will be alone. Germany and Japan are allies, and his role alone can be compared to the role of Japan as a whole? Chen Shaokuan asked rhetorically. He's just trying to get into some loopholes. A Ninghai with a speed of only more than 20 knots will let the entire Japanese Navy dispatch to search for it all over the ocean, and what will the two latest ocean-going submarines do to the Japanese? The Japanese will definitely find a way to sabotage. ”

The cigarette that Chen Jiliang had put down earlier was finally lit, and Chen Shaokuan immediately pushed the window open. It was already very cold in Nanjing in November, and the wind blew in to make people feel cold and shocked. After taking several puffs of cigarette in a hurry, Chen Jiliang snuffed out the cigarette in the clean ashtray where the figure could be seen. Seeing that he finished smoking, Chen Shaokuan stretched out his hand to close the window again, and Chen Jiliang said: "It's better not to turn it off, it's better to be cold." He said again: "Houfu, what will happen to the navy in the future?" Not to mention that we don't have money, even if we have money, we can't pull out a fleet to fight the Japanese. ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Chen Shaokuan sighed. "The breaking of diplomatic relations between Ninghai is just to prepare for reconstruction, at least we now have a cruise ship that can be transformed into an aircraft carrier, an oil tanker, and a cargo ship. In addition, there is a lot of money, although there is no gold found on the Longtian Maru, but those goods are still worth some money, these are the basis for rebuilding the navy. If the navy wants to be rebuilt, it is impossible without the support of the government, and Shao Sheng said that it is possible, but I do not see such a possibility. ”

"Then let Shao Sheng come back!" Chen Jiliang said. "What's the use of the submarine staying in Germany if the Germans don't deliver it?"

Hearing that Chen Jiliang asked Li Kongrong to come back, Chen Shaokuan also smiled: "Shaosheng's second room is about to be born, but the two are not married." He also wanted to come back, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wouldn't let him. He is now assisting the chairman's special envoy Jiang Baili in negotiating with Germany on the Sino-Japanese armistice and mediation, and he will not be able to return at all. Besides, what if he comes back? What if the Germans needed a lot of tungsten sand to fight the war, as he said, and we delivered five or six thousand tons of tungsten sand at once, and then the Germans agreed to let it go? When he came back, the submarine was completely out of action. ”

Selling five or six thousand tons of tungsten sand at one time in exchange for German delivery of boats, Chen Jiliang did not know how to operate at all, and now the government is not selling tungsten sand to Germany in exchange for German arms imports?

Chen Jiliang's doubts Chen Shaokuan naturally saw it in his eyes, and he said: "You don't care what Shaosheng thinks, he has a much better grasp of the international situation abroad than we do at home, which is why I don't want him to come back." He said that tungsten sand for submarines is possible, so there should be a few more certainty. Besides, he called yesterday to hope that a technical intelligence section could be set up under the Ordnance Department, and Xian Xin and I agreed, and while the navy still had some small work, it had already been reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs in the afternoon. ”

"An additional Technical Information Section under the Ordnance Division?" Chen Jiliang said, "What is this for?" Add a section, if he is the section chief, he will have the rank of lieutenant colonel? ”

"Jin Shanwei is a great victory, the navy is meritorious, and I also reported his name, and it was reported as it was. If there were no surprises, he would have been promoted to colonel this time. However, he is not alone, Shuchun (Zhou Yingcong), Gongbei (Zeng Guosheng), Youyun (Ye Keyu) and some other meritorious personnel will be promoted. You, as well as Shu Xi (Ouyang Ji) and Xiu Ruo (Fang Ying), are awarded. ”

In terms of establishment, the head of the department of the Navy is a rear admiral, and the chief of the section is a colonel. Li Kongrong planned to be promoted to colonel with merit, and there was naturally nothing wrong with being a section chief. And this time, several of Chen Shaokuan's cronies are all among the people who have been promoted, and they can be regarded as cultivating their descendants. After he finished talking about the promotion, he added: "The Technical Intelligence Section is to pay attention to the latest naval technology and learn the advanced weapons of European and American countries for my use." The reason why the Japanese Navy has made such rapid progress is because it is willing to spend money on technical intelligence gathering......"

"Is this a spy?" The more Chen Jiliang listened, the more suspicious he became. As we all know, the Japanese are the most famous for stealing technology, and when the Japanese visit the shipyards, the manufacturers always have to arrange for people to follow them, even if it is their ally Germany.

"Not exactly a spy." Chen Shaokuan pondered for a while before saying: "Shao Sheng said that in order to avoid the disgust of various countries, he will never spy on the military and technical intelligence of various countries, and only openly collect military technical information. After explaining the role of the Technical Intelligence Section, Chen Shaokuan said: "In the past, when he was in Germany, he said a kind of radio detector, which is now available in Europe and the United States, this kind of radio detector can detect aircraft in the air when installed on the ground, and ships at sea can be detected when installed on aircraft or ships, and can even be used as a fire control instead of the shooting instrument commonly used now."

We are already very backward, this time Jinshanwei's artillery battle is very bad, and the shooting commanders commonly equipped by various countries are only on the Ninghai and Pinghai, which are still old-fashioned, and as soon as the radio detector shooter comes out again, it will not be thrown a few streets by others, but a few miles, so what Xian Xin and I mean is to understand this thing, and it is best to be able to make it ourselves. ”

Increasing funds and expanding the establishment are all things that Chen Shaokuan wants to do, and advanced weapons are hindered by the support of the national strength and the government, so they can only act at the opportunity, and if they are not expensive, then buy them, and if they are expensive, they will understand. In Li Kongrong's report to the Admiralty, the technical intelligence section is mainly focused on collecting intelligence, and the section has one section chief, five section members, and one secretary according to its establishment, but in Germany there are only two people, he and Zhong Qiangong. The number of people is not the key, the key is that it is convenient for him to act after he has this signboard, and it is convenient for him to go to various countries to do business.

Li Kongrong, who had always had a way, had turned to technical intelligence, and it was not entirely certain whether the submarine could be picked up, and Jin Shanwei still had to make preparations for retreat, ...... these things disappointed Chen Jiliang, who had returned to Nanjing. He really didn't want to take people to the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River to lay mines, but the reality was that he had to prepare to leave Jinshanwei and say goodbye to the familiar sea.
