"Salute!" Seeing Lin Xianxin and the three of them boarding the ship, the officer on duty immediately shouted a salute. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAll the officers and men on board stood up and saluted. With the sound of a whistle, the trio stepped onto the deck. The Chinese and foreign personalities invited today all came out, the officers and men stood and saluted, and the guests smiled and applauded. Lin Xianxi returned the salute and said, "You have worked hard, you have worked hard. ”

After saluting everyone, Lin Xianxin walked to the deck podium. His move surprised Lin Guogeng and Li Kongrong, because according to the process of the ceremony, he should first go to the cabin to rest for a while before coming out to speak, now the temperature outside is only four or five degrees, and the sea breeze is biting, maybe it will be frozen.

"Is the time coming?" Lin Guogeng asked dumbly.

"Sir, it's noon." Lin Zhun on the side replied, he saw Li Kongrong boarding the ship and leaned over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for taking the time to come; Dear compatriots, when I saw you, I knew that the War of Resistance would be won. The loudspeaker clearly transmitted Lin Xianxi's slightly weak voice to every part of the dock, everyone on the boat applauded in unison, everyone stared at him, and some people found his body swaying gently in the sea breeze.

"Today is New Year's Day in 1940, and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is in its fourth year. Although the Japanese invaders are blocked outside Sichuan Province, the country. The army lost more than one million early, and all ports were occupied by the Japanese. The national situation was as dangerous as an egg, and although the navy's construction ships had not yet been launched, all the officers and men could not bear to stand idly by in the face of the national calamity, and decided to immediately form an army and send personnel back to China to participate in the war. ”

This was the first time that the Navy had officially stated that it would return to China to participate in the war, and the people who heard it burst into warm applause, and many even burst into tears. Zhou Yingcong, who was standing on the deck, knew that Lin Xianxin still had something to say behind him, and it was not so simple for the navy to return to China to participate in the war.

However, due to diplomatic disputes, the source of naval officers and soldiers, and the current state of the country, the navy could not be rebuilt immediately. In order to avoid all kinds of diplomatic pressure and contradictions, the navy had to change its name to the Chinese Volunteer Navy, and returned to China to fight against Japan in the name of volunteers. The navy was voluntarily joined by Chinese from all over the world, without the responsibility of the government or the government's provision of food, and its sole purpose was to defeat the Japanese invaders and force Japan to surrender.

Gentlemen, Huaxia cough... Ahem......"

Lin Xianxi's announcement that the Navy would be renamed the Chinese Volunteer Navy did not cause much of a sensation, but his cough made everyone present worry. At this point, even the dullest person understands that his wounds are not healed.

Lin Xianxin stopped the microphone as soon as he coughed, but the coughing sound still made everyone look sideways, and he smiled after relieving his breath: "I'm really happy to see you today, I'm sorry." The navy I want to say has been renamed the Chinese Volunteer Navy, and although the name has been changed, the will will remain the same, and it will be a great shame for the officers and men of our navy not to capture Tokyo. Today, before announcing the establishment of the Chinese Volunteer Navy, I have an order for the award of titles signed by Vice Admiral Chen Jiliang to be announced. ”

Lin Xianxin opened the order that he had been holding in his hand, and after unfolding it, he read: "Colonel Li Kongrong, the captain of the U-38 submarine, fought bravely, sank an enemy aircraft carrier in this battle, and awarded Li Kongrong the rank of rear admiral." This order. Chen Jiliang, commander of the 1st Fleet of the Navy, November 8, 28th year of the Republic of China. ”

Lin Xianxi read out the last order signed by Chen Jiliang before he went to attend the news conference, and everyone immediately applauded eagerly after hearing this, and Li Kongrong also had to go out to salute the guests and the people at the dock, and the applause became even more enthusiastic for a while.

"Gentlemen, according to General Chen's wishes, I still have an appointment to announce." Lin Xianxi said again. He then looked at Li Kongrong, who had already been listed, and said very seriously: "Major General Li Kongrong? ”

"Yes, sir." Li Kongrong's whole body was excited, although there was no megaphone, his voice was so loud that it could be heard on the dock.

"Do you know everything about this navy?" Lin Xianxin asked, facing the sea breeze, he tried his best to suppress his cough.

"I know very well, sir." Li Kongrong stood with his head upright, his gaze resolute.

"Do you know that she has fallen three times, but each time she has stubbornly rebuilt?" Lin Xianxin said again.

"Clear, sir." Li Kongrong said, his blood was a little boiling.

"Do you know that the world has too many misconceptions about her, although she does her best in every battle?" Lin Xianxin asked.

"Clear, sir." Li Kongrong said, louder.

"Do you know that for various reasons, she has no base, not enough officers and soldiers, and can't have too many combat ships?"

"Clear, sir."

"Are you clear about her mission and responsibilities? Is it clear that she is facing a powerful fleet with a displacement of more than a million tons, well-trained and never defeated? ”

"Clear, sir."

"Are you willing to serve as her commander and lead her to defeat all enemies in order to achieve the ultimate victory?"

"More than willingly, sir." This is the last question, in the eyes of everyone, at this time Li Kong Rongsheng was like Hong Zhong, he straightened his already high chest, and expressed his willingness without hesitation.

"Good. In accordance with Commander Chen Jiliang's last wishes, I appoint you as the commander of the Chinese Volunteer Navy. Your duty is to lead her to defeat the Japanese navy, force Japan to surrender, and seek justice for the navy and 40,000,000 people. Lin Xianxin said loudly with all his strength, and his body began to shake.

"Yes, sir." Li Kongrong stood more straight. He looked at Lin Xianxin with great worry, afraid that he would fall. The guests and the people present did not applaud, they looked at Lin Xianxin with the same worry as Li Kongrong, until the sergeant with the military rank, customs defense, sword, and general flag came to the stage, and Lin Xianxi changed the epaulette to Li Kongrong, and the applause thundered.

"I'll leave it to you later." Lin Xianxin personally changed Li Kongrong's title, and he was short of breath. "Everyone else is disappointed."

"Yes, sir." Li Kongrong's mood fluctuated, even if he knew about today's appointment, he was a little uncomfortable, it was too early.

"Good." Lin Xianxin finally finished changing it quickly, and Li Kongrong's epaulettes changed from a single anchor three stars to a double anchor single star. After receiving the letter of appointment, customs defense, saber and flag, the two clasped hands and faced the guests present, and then faced the people at the dock. In the warm applause and the constantly flickering magnesium lights, the honor guard escorting the iron-blooded eighteen-star military flag slowly walked into the center, their military appearance was solemn, their expressions were solemn, and each step weighed more than a thousand catties.

"Now the flag." The duty officer of the Fuqing shouted, and the military flag was solemnly handed over to Li Kongrong by Lin Xianxi.

"I announce: The Chinese Volunteer Navy will be completed today." Lin Xianxin said in a loud voice, this is his last task today.

"Salute!" All the officers and men present saluted the military flag. At this time, the naval band also played under the order of the officer on duty, not a naval march, but a sacred war designated by Li Kongrong. Along with the musical instrument, there was another fast-rising iron-blooded eighteen-star flag, the sea breeze hunting, and the fire-like flag fluttered.

After the music was played, Lin Xianxin retreated to the side, and the adjutant took the prepared coat and draped it over him. After that, it was time for Li Kongrong, who walked to the microphone amid cheers, and the first thing to be announced was the personnel appointment: "In the name of the commander of the Chinese Volunteer Navy, I hereby appoint the heads of the departments:

Rear Admiral Lin Guogeng, you have been appointed Chief of the Navy's General Affairs Division. "Now Li Kongrong's military rank is the same as Lin Guogeng's, when he reads Lin Guogeng, Lin Guogeng will immediately come out of the ranks as soon as he says, 'Yes, sir'. He took the letter of appointment, Guan Fang and saber from Li Kongrong, and then the two shook hands with the guests and reporters, gave them enough time to take pictures, and then Lin Guogeng retreated behind Li Kongrong, waiting for the oath.

"Colonel Yan Shouhua, appoint you as the acting chief of the Naval Staff Office." This is the second appointment. Yan Shouhua is not suitable, not to mention, his qualifications are sufficient, and he is also very generous.

"Colonel Cai Shiqing, you are appointed as the acting director of the Navy's Military Balance Division;

Colonel Fang Ying, you have been appointed Acting Director of the Naval Training Division;

Colonel Ma Deji, you have been appointed Chief of the Naval Ordnance Division;

Colonel Chen Jingqian, you are appointed Acting Chief of the Naval Quartermaster's Department;

Colonel Chan Boon Lun, you have been appointed Chief of the Naval Aviation Division;

Colonel Tsang Kwok-sheng, you have been appointed Director of the Naval Office in Hong Kong; ”

After Yan Shouhua, six departments were appointed in a row, and these six people all came to the stage to receive the appointment letters, and the applause came one after another, but the last appointment was a little weird.

"Major General Huang Baitao, appoint you as the commander of the Marine Corps." Huang Baitao's military rank in the Nanjing Nationalist Government was a major general, but Li Kongrong was influenced by later generations and mistakenly thought that he was a lieutenant general, and now he has finally changed it back. He arrived in New York yesterday from Hong Kong to the United States with Zeng Guosheng, but when Li Kongrong read the name 'Huang Baitao', no one knew where this person came from.

In the name of the commander of the navy, Li Kongrong successively appointed nine heads of major departments, and these nine people will manage this Chinese volunteer navy together with him. After the appointment was completed, the nine men followed him and stood facing the west, raised his right hand and swore an oath, and he read a sentence followed by the nine people behind him:

"Yu Jing swears:"

"Yu Jing swears:"

"Yu Gezun's honor as a soldier and the mission of the navy;"

"Yu Gezun's honor as a soldier and the mission of the navy;"

"Defend sea power and protect businessmen; Fighting is the only virtue, and seeking peace is the only shame; ”

"Defend sea power and protect businessmen; Fighting is the only virtue, and seeking peace is the only shame; ”

"A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood, a bomb for a bomb, a slaughter for a slaughter. The Japanese invaders did not surrender, and the fleet did not return. ”

"A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood, a bomb for a bomb, a slaughter for a slaughter. The Japanese invaders did not surrender, and the fleet did not return. ”

"If you break your oath, you will be disposed of with all your wishes, this oath!"

"If you break your oath, you will be disposed of with all your wishes, this oath!"

After taking the oath, the audience was shocked by the navy's oath, more than half of the people cheered and applauded, but the rest felt that the navy's murderous intentions were too heavy and not peaceful. It's just that Li Kongrong was already dismissive of peace and peace advocates, but now he has to hide his tail so as not to be judged by the US Democratic Party.

After the murderous oath, the uncomfortable thing happened again for those who did not advocate revenge and praised peace: some Chinese men in short Chinese jackets, belts and bloomers took the stage, and they pushed out a huge offering table, on which were placed pigs, cows, sheep, three animals, three animals, and a shrine to Mazu, and a high incense stick thick to the thickness of fingers. In their words later in the newspaper: 'In just three minutes, a sacrificial table, a high incense, and a shrine to Mazu appeared on the deck, and the civilized and advanced navy was instantly transformed into an ignorant and backward gang, and no one could accept such a transformation. ’

It is indeed difficult for these people to accept such a change, but Situ Meitang and Paul Lin, who are in the guest seat, nod their heads frequently, and Lin Xianxi, who has regained consciousness all his body, also looks at all this with interest, which is a link that Li Kongrong specially asked to add.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in the audience, with a few 'choking' sounds, the swords of the eight people were drawn, the blades reached their left hands, and the blood instantly dripped to the wine bowl below. The people who held the bowls knelt down in front of the Mazu shrine and recited the oath agreed before:

"Today, there are Li Kongrong, Lin Guogeng, Yan Shouhua, Cai Shiqing, Fang Ying, Ma Deji, Chen Jingqian, Chen Wenlin, Zeng Guosheng, Huang Baitao, ten people, blood alliance, brotherhood. Since then, good and evil have rescued each other, blessings and misfortunes have depended on each other, and adversity has helped each other. Outsiders who mess with my brother will be killed if they regard the blood alliance; Brothers who mess with my brothers, depending on the blood alliance, will be killed. Heaven and earth testify, mountains and rivers are allied, violating this oath, and the rest of his family will be destroyed by heaven and earth. ”

Even more savage and bloody oaths, those who had not applauded at last could not help but shake their heads, this was by no means the navy they expected. But as an outsider who wanted to join it, Lin Yuanquan was shocked by the two oaths, he was not as civilized and decent as Zhou Yingcong, he was a person who came from the late Qing Dynasty, and the moment ten people got righteous, he felt that Chen Shaokuan had been thrown into the trash by the new navy, and the navy under his warm swallowing leadership had never had such cohesion and will. It's a pity that he has no way to join the alliance.

Amid the sound of the military trumpet, the long-prepared salute rang out. After the salute was fired, the buffet that had been prepared on the deck officially began, and the guys on the dock also pushed the dining cart to distribute snacks and hot soup to the people, and the solemnity of the scene was swept away. Taking advantage of this free time, the Chinese and foreign reporters immediately surrounded Li Kongrong, and the foreign reporters were concerned about how the navy would return to China to fight, and how to defeat the Japanese navy and force Japan to surrender, and some reporters wanted to know whether the ice battleships really existed and started construction; The Chinese reporters who have been hit hard have a full head of questions to ask, but most of them are stuck when they rush over. After Li Kongrong answered the foreigner reporter, Minqi Daily asked the first question: "Why doesn't the navy use the blue sky and white sun flag?" At a time when the whole nation is united and united, is it inappropriate for the Navy to do so? ”

"Since the whole nation is united and united, why is it not yet to declare war on Japan?" Li Kongrong asked rhetorically. "The navy is going to fight the war to the end, and the others don't even declare the war, how can the navy unite with them? Let me ask you a question: If naval bombers bomb Japan, should I drop bombs, leaflets, or New Year's gifts? ”
