Chapter 485 Time is not waiting
The transport plane landed at Hongqiao Military Airport, and Ouyang Jian stepped off the plane and found Chen Yi and his wife Mei Fang standing on the tarmac to greet them. Chen Yi and his wife came to pick him up without accident, but his wife's appearance in Shanghai surprised him. "Brother Ouyang is looking forward to you, I received a telegram from the headquarters, and I haven't slept well for several days." "Brother Chen, I'm here to play a supporting role, and I'm here to assist you in your work, don't make a mistake!" "As long as you can come, I'll rest assured, the protagonist and supporting roles between you and me have already been decided!" Chen Yi's Sichuan dialect is witty, and his accent is still heavy.
Ouyang Jian greeted Zhang Qian, and then turned his eyes to Mei Fang, "Ouyang, are you surprised?" To tell you the truth, I resigned from the post of director of the second division? Ouyang frowned when he heard this. I know it's about organizational discipline. Don't worry, I'm not calling the shots on a whim. I sent a report to the headquarters for approval, and I also asked for Lao Jiang's consent. I didn't expect Lao Jiang to agree very happily, he was eager for me to step down from my position as the director of the second division. When I returned to Ruijin, the chairman asked me to come to Shanghai to meet you, and before I came, the chairman quoted you: The separation of husband and wife is the most immoral! "Haha! Brother Ouyang, you are to blame! ”
Ouyang Jian smiled bitterly: "It's all old husbands and wives, how can they be in the morning and twilight." "Brother Chen, you can see it, he thinks I'm old!" Everyone joked and got into the car. Mei Fang and Zhang Qian got into a car, and Ouyang Jian and Chen Yi got into a car. On the way, Chen Yi asked: "Brother Ouyang, is it your attention to catch ducks on the shelves?" "It's really not my attention, you have been in politics in Nanchang for more than ten years, and your achievements are obvious to all, do you still need me to recommend you?" "Brother Ouyang, do you know what kind of city Shanghai is? The city is intertwined with various forces, and to put it bluntly, it is the world of flowers! ”
Ouyang Jian said: "Drunk on gold, money first, but how to make this golden world of flowers and flowers serve the new China that is about to be born is to consider our wisdom." "Fortunately, you are here, and I have the backbone!" "If you want to be beautiful, I just come up with ideas, you still do the specific work, and government affairs are your specialty, don't be arrogant." "What do you have in mind to give me a clear goal!" "At present, the stability of Shanghai is the top priority, remember I told you that the Song Dynasty was the richest dynasty in ancient times, as a banner of ancient times, we must learn its essence, the so-called ancient for the present."
"The reason why the Song Dynasty is rich is that it adopts the essence of inclusiveness and tolerance, and welcomes visitors from all over the world. Practice has proven time and again that we cannot follow the old path of closing ourselves off from the country, sitting in a well and watching the sky, and closing ourselves off. We must have the courage and ability to accept all kinds of ideological trends at home and abroad, and our purpose is to serve the people. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and we must not be superstitious about the so-called saints. I made a report to the Central Committee on what kind of country to build, and I put forward the idea of prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony. Fairness, reasonableness, democracy and the rule of law. The slogan of love, dedication, integrity and patriotism! Runzhi very much agreed, saying that the next CPPCC proposed it. ”
Chen Yi was pleasantly surprised: "Great, 24 words cover all aspects, no flashy slogans." I understand what you mean, as a government, it is to set the rules of the game and implement supervision, not to tie the hands and feet of the daughter-in-law like a mother-in-law. "Brother Chen, you are an excellent management talent, and I can't do it in this regard. Actually, this time I came to Shanghai on the orders of the headquarters to carry out a secret plan! Chen Yi knew about the secret plan, and the car did not change. The car was parked directly at Chen Yi's residence.
After lunch, Chen Yi and Ouyang Jian walked into the study, Zhang Qian painted tea for the two and withdrew, Chen Yi's eyes were aimed at Ouyang Jian, and his face showed an urgent mood. Ouyang Jian took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The final victory of the war is only a matter of time, time is not waiting, we must think about the post-war world pattern." My task is not only Project 01, but also the field of aviation and the formation of a naval fleet at the moment, which must be on the agenda. In the future, the coalition government's air force and navy fleet will be based on our model, and the W plan is part of the formation of the naval fleet as soon as possible. ”
"You belong to these areas, it seems that your task is very heavy!" "The core of Plan W is to form our own aircraft carrier fleet, and it is simply impossible to build aircraft carriers with our own shipbuilding capabilities at the moment, and if we want to buy them, we will never be allowed to have them. Plan W began to be implemented three years ago, the year that Britain was used to form a pocket fleet in the United States. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the headquarters established the Overseas Chinese Fundraising Committee with the help of overseas Chinese organizations in the United States. We use this platform to make covert investments through the huge profits from penicillin, which Herman controls. ”
In order to avoid the eyes of the Americans, Herman used his large shipyard on the west coast of Mexico to secretly build two 35,000-ton freighters. On the surface, these two large freighters are transport ships, but in fact, although they do not look like anything from the outside, its secret lies in the internal structure. In the United States, through special channels, we obtained a complete set of design drawings for the US aircraft carrier battleship, so the internal structure of the freighter, including the steel of the hull, was built in full accordance with the standards of the aircraft carrier battleship. Its power system, including electronic systems, was also purchased in the United States by the standards of aircraft carrier warships. ”
"In order to hide people's eyes, there are no weapons systems and conning towers on the deck, and there is room for the upper interface of the freighter. The construction and raw materials used in the later molding and transformation are molded and installed in the ship's hold, creating conditions for us to quickly assemble aircraft carriers and warships in China. At present, we have expanded two docks at the Mawei Shipyard in Fuzhou, and as long as the freighters come back, we will complete the construction of aircraft carrier warships in about half a year. "It's incredible, it's exciting!" Chen Yi was excited. "Now that these two freighters have joined Herman's fleet, the pocket fleet will return to the Atlantic Ocean and return across the Pacific Ocean via the Panama Canal."
"The timing of Taiwan's return is just right, so the headquarters decided based on my suggestion that Plan W should be implemented ahead of schedule. In order to form an aircraft carrier combat force as soon as possible, we have built an aircraft carrier warship simulation platform at Poyang Lake, and the headquarters will soon set up a naval aviation unit for training. In addition, Herman purchased eight destroyer power units for us in the United States, including marine steel, and shipped them back. Therefore, we will make use of the shipyard in Shanghai and launch four destroyers as soon as possible. "What do you need me to do?" "Your government affairs are busy, I will take care of the construction of warships, and within a month, people from all walks of life will gather in Shanghai."
"I will definitely help, but the aircraft carrier fleet needs a large number of escort warships, and I am afraid that it will not be able to form combat power in a short time!" "It takes time for the aircraft carrier fleet to form combat strength, but the purpose of our aircraft carrier warships is to form a deterrent as soon as possible and achieve the purpose of defending our coastal security, especially in the South China Sea. In addition, there is another part of Plan W, which is to acquire enemy warships by various unconventional means. According to the information I have, the Japanese army is building two large aircraft carrier warships in the Seto Inland Sea, and the construction of these two aircraft carrier warships is very slow due to the shortage of raw materials. ”
"You want to hit the attention of the Japanese, but it's almost impossible?" "I judge that before these two warships of the Japanese Navy are launched, Japan will surrender. At present, the special operations group of the Marine Brigade has been requisitioned to Shanghai, and according to the plan of the headquarters, the task is to hunt down the Japanese warships. There are follow-up means for Operation W, which will depend on the course of the war. In short, we must quickly assemble an aircraft carrier fleet that can play a powerful deterrent role in the final stage of the war, otherwise we will lose the opportunity when the war is over. ”
"Yes, it is difficult to develop your own shipbuilding industry without decades of precipitation, and the W action plan is very practical and echoes the leapfrog leap forward you advocate. W action plan was implemented ahead of schedule, is it not that the Americans have already begun to contain us! "This is inevitable, a strong China is not in the interests of the Americans, so we must make a targeted layout, we must build a regional power, and ensure the economic development after the war." History has once again given us the opportunity to rise, so we must firmly grasp the heavy responsibility of a strong China and the glory of reviving our ancestors, and we must not hesitate to do so. ”
Looking at Ouyang Jian's firm face, Chen Yi had a lot of thoughts, and a lot of pride welled up in his chest. They look forward to a bright future and are so excited that they can't control themselves until late at night. The pocket fleet, which includes the "transport fleet", will not be able to return until at least June, and the preparatory work cannot be neglected. The next day, Ouyang Jian was stationed in a temporary command organization on Victoria Street in Shanghai's former British Concession, a three-story building facing the street. When the staff sent by the headquarters arrived, in a meeting room, Ouyang Jian and Gao Guoying met. I haven't seen each other for a few years, and I feel very cordial when I meet old friends.
After the two sides warmly embraced, Gao Guoying said: "Chief of General Staff, the headquarters of my business and trade group has been moved from Chongqing to Shanghai. According to your orders, during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, we purchased a large amount of real estate from foreigners, including warehouses, wharves, and factories, in the British Concession and the French Concession. This bungalow was bought from a Jew, and the price is very cheap. "Yes, I'm very satisfied!" "Chief of General Staff, the headquarters asked my business group to continue diving, did you mean it?" "That's what I mean, the situation is developing rapidly, the war will end in less than a year, and your business field will be expanded to the outside."
"If you're political, it's not good for business. I understand your feelings, but for the overall good of the country, you have to be an unsung hero. "I obey the organization's arrangement, this is the situation of the four shipyards you want, two of which are our own, and the other two shipyards hold 40% of the shares, the details are in the materials, do you see if the conditions you said?" "I won't look at the materials, just choose these 4 shipyards, your task is to recruit skilled workers as soon as possible, and hire excellent craftsmen with high salaries."
After Gao Guoying left, a staff member came in to report: "Report director, Li Dabao, commander of the Marine Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, came to report and was waiting outside. "Let him in!" For a moment, Li Dabao walked in energetically: "Report to the Chief of the General Staff, Li Dabao came to report and ask for instructions!" Ouyang Jian stepped forward and grabbed Li Dabao's hand and said with a smile: "Brigade Commander Li, you have fought well in the Taiwan Strait landing operation, I am very satisfied, please take a seat!" "Ouyang Jian personally poured a cup of tea for Li Dabao." Chief of the General Staff, the headquarters asked me to lead the naval special operations group to Shanghai, is there a mission? ”
"For the time being, there are no combat missions, but there are training missions!" Training tasks? "Li Dabao is confused." I ask you, and your special operations team, to complete airborne training within three months, especially at night. The headquarters has prepared 4 transport planes for you, and they will train at Hongqiao Airport! "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" "Jiujiang Arsenal has manufactured a batch of special equipment for you, special submachine guns and pistols, and all of them are equipped with silencers, you must familiarize yourself with the performance of weapons as soon as possible!" "Yes!"
