Chapter 524: For Freedom, Honor, and Hatred
Just when Kennedy returned to the United States from his vacation, President Yang solemnly submitted to Congress a bill to supplement the budget for the year and officially launch the Chang'e plan, and it was quickly passed after a vote, so the Ming Empire embarked on a long journey to the moon in a jaw-dropping gaze.
This program is under the responsibility of the Space Agency, which is directly under the head of the Führer.
This is a newly established specialized agency, similar to NASA, before because Daming's aerospace industry was in charge of the Xingchen Company, which had a special management agency, so there was no separate space agency, and now it is just taking this opportunity to get started, this agency is outside the ministries of the government, that is, only responsible to the head of state, including the director is also a personal guard directly appointed by Yang Feng.
This would ensure that he was in control at all times, as the chief could report to him in real time any issues that needed to be resolved through the other guards before relaying his orders.
After all, there are too many ulteriors in this project, and the highest level of the scam is that you must deceive your own people, except for him and a few major cronies, as well as the chief engineer in charge of the project, no one else can know the true situation of the Chang'e project. This is something related to national strategy, in case the little mole of the United States infiltrated the space agency knows, it will not be the Apollo program, and it is necessary to ensure that the people of the United States will continue to do it if they take out 0.5 percent of GDP every year to achieve such a great feat of landing on the moon.
There are a lot of people in the team of Daming scientists who have studied in the United States, and if you want to say that the CIA has not developed a downline or anything among these people, it is estimated that you don't even believe in ghosts.
Even the chief engineer he appointed at the same time was born in the United States!
Of course, the entire Chang'e project cannot be completed in one step. That's a bit too rebellious. In fact, it will be divided into three steps. The first step is manned space flight, this step is to play for real, Yang Yuan will not give those scientists a hanging, they must immediately complete the development of all from rockets to spacecraft, at most he will provide some theoretical support. With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to do this, the rocket is very simple, it is nothing more than a super-large intercontinental missile. Even if the carrying capacity is not enough, you can tie the booster to it, the spaceship is not a black technology, the Soviets can do it right away, and if you can't do it with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it will be a joke.
The second step is lunar exploration, this step is half-truthful, you can send a probe to the moon, this is also not difficult, the Soviets have sent two there, but then the unmanned spacecraft is not necessary, just send two or three rockets casually. Then the rest was left to the Voyager to settle out.
As for the third step, which is to go to the moon, this step is completely imaginary. When the time comes, just play a video, although it was also recorded on the moon, but it can be said that it was done in the studio for his cronies, and no one will doubt this video, because it is true, and Yang will not make those low-level mistakes, and then let those conspiracy theorists lie on the video to pick on him.
For this plan, the space agency will invest in the construction of a new launch site, a new rocket manufacturing plant, a new spacecraft manufacturing base, a training center, a tracking and control center, and unlike the satellite company, this project only manages manned space flight and landing on the moon. This is normal, no country will take out this level of things to share with others, in fact, Yang Feng can actually take out the cutting-edge technology of satellite launch, which has made many people feel incredible.
The new base of the Daming Space Agency is still located in Yongning Province, but the location is further north of the Tawau Space Base, in the port of Xinmin, which is actually the original Sandakan, which was originally a predominantly Chinese city with a majority of Fujian people.
Yang Yuan's goal is to build this place into the Houston of the East in the future, manned spaceflight, space station and other space activities in addition to the launch of ordinary satellites, all other space activities are carried out here, you must know that Daming can not only land on the moon, even landing on Mars are included in the next development plan.
The plan schedule announced by the Daming Space Agency is very tight, the first unmanned spacecraft will be launched in the second half of next year to conduct flight experiments around the earth, the manned spacecraft will be launched the year after tomorrow, and the lunar probe will also be launched, and all the preparatory work for the moon landing will be completed within five years, and the manned spacecraft will embark on an interstellar journey for the first time in five years.
Of course, the premise of all this is to create a heavy rocket capable of launching a spaceship.
"A thousand years ago, our ancestors have launched rockets into the sky, a thousand years later, as their descendants, we must re-stand on the commanding heights of this technology, in order to be able to land on the moon, we will develop an unrivaled super rocket, its length will be more than 100 meters, its weight will be more than 3,000 tons, it will have the ability to send more than 40 tons of spacecraft to the moon, the name of this rocket is Kuafu, it will be like a giant day by day, for the descendants of Yan and Huang to open the door to the stars!
In the news program of Daming Imperial TV, Yang Yuanfeng waved his arms and shouted a deafening voice.
Well, it's deafening, and the deaf are almost stunned by him, and all those who hear him on the television and radio have two words echoing in their heads......
Crazy, really crazy.
At this time, when it was already extremely dazzling to be able to send hundreds of kilograms of payloads into space, he actually wanted to build, no, it should be more appropriate to build, this thing is too big, and he can only use the word build, he actually wants to build a launch vehicle that can weigh dozens of tons of payloads to the moon, Yang Yuan's brain can really be described as crazy, not to mention that he has to complete all this in five years.
However, immediately afterwards, several academicians of the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences were interviewed on TV to explain the domestic skepticism, so that they could understand that such a rocket is not difficult with the current technical strength of the Ming Dynasty. The rocket is not an intercontinental missile, although the two are actually interchangeable, but if the rocket wants to increase the carrying capacity, it only needs to keep amplifying, a hundred tons of rockets can send hundreds of kilograms or even tons of loads into space, a thousand tons is enough to send a few tons or even a dozen tons of loads into space, and a three-thousand-ton rocket is fully capable of sending dozens or even hundreds of tons of loads into space.
To put it bluntly, this thing is a matter of money. As long as there is enough investment. This rocket can be made by amplifying the existing technology.
As for the question of money......
"Fortunately, we have a head of state with the world's second-largest economy and the world's richest people."
Dr. Shi Hui, the newly appointed chief engineer of the space agency's Chang'e program, said with a smile.
All right. This does solve the domestic question, isn't it money, the people of Daming don't take money seriously now, one person donates 100 or 5 billion, don't fight for face and tone, Daming is ahead of others in everything, and must not lag behind others in aerospace technology, what can be more face-saving than landing on the moon.
So immediately after that, Daming set off a wave of donations for the moon landing project. Especially those vassal monarchs and rich people who are so bored that they marry young wives regard this as a stage to show off their wealth, and the sheikh of Abu Dhabi alone threw out a full 10 million.
Just when the Ming Dynasty set off a vigorous aerospace march, a large container ship sailed away from Shuncheon Port, with a total of 2,000 containers on board, and the destination was Vladivostok, and the customs declaration forms of these containers were written on clothing, shoes, hats, children's toys, electronic products, and the like. Every year, a large number of light industrial products are shipped from Daming to the Soviet Union, and tens of millions of tons of crude oil are also transported from Soviet ports to Daming every year, and the annual trade volume between the two countries exceeds 500 million US dollars. And it's growing steadily.
Of course, this ship is certainly not what is written on the customs declaration.
When the containers were transported to Vladivostok, they were quickly sent to the naval base. It was repainted with another color of paint, turned into a container of Soviet production, and loaded onto a military transport ship and sent directly to Ishikari Port.
After the landing at Ishikari Port, the containers were towed to Sapporo and then loaded onto a train and transported along the railway to Hakodate, without attracting any attention, and in order to confuse the American military, the Soviets had been using containers in large quantities to supply the Social Workers for several months, and the Port of Ishikari was also built accordingly. Every day, a large number of containers are loaded with various supplies to all parts of Hokkaido, from munitions to civilian supplies and even food, and even if spies who infiltrate Hokkaido see them, they will only think that these containers are no different from before.
After the containers were transported to Hakodate, they were dispersed directly to four military bases on the northern shore of the Tsugaru Strait.
The information about these containers, along with a bunch of other various pieces of information about the Japanese Liberation Army, was sent to Admiral Decker, and the supreme commander of the US forces in Japan took a casual look at it and signed it on behalf of the name he had already seen.
But he didn't know that at this time, in the four military camps on the north shore of the Tsugaru Strait, containers were being opened, and the aluminum alloy bottom inflatable boats loaded with hang-ups were being dragged out of them one by one by the soldiers of the Japanese People's Liberation Army, and then began to inflate, and at the same time began to familiarize themselves with the use of these small boats in the manual, of course, there is nothing to be familiar with.
It's just a rubber inflatable boat, and it's not a high-tech one, when the Beidaying was in the camp, the respected Mr. Zhang Hanqing also gave a lot to the imperial army!
At this time, everything was ready in these four barracks, and the most elite troops of the Japanese Liberation Army of four infantry divisions were waiting for these inflatable boats.
At the same time, in the front command of the Hakodate Japanese Liberation Army's sea-crossing campaign, the commander-in-chief, former Japanese army major general Admiral Yamada, solemnly knelt in front of dozens of portraits of his comrades-in-arms, who had been repatriated from the Luzon prisoner of war camp, most of whom were comrades who had starved to death in the Luzon jungle. With painful memories of the past, Admiral Yamada took out a broken saber from the box on the ground and quietly wiped it there for a full minute, before he resolutely stood up, and as he walked out of the door, he said to the young officer who followed him: "Pass my orders, for freedom, for honor, for hatred, start acting!" ”
The officer bowed vigorously, then turned to leave.
A few minutes later, in the four military camps near the sea, the soldiers of the Japanese People's Liberation Army dragging inflatable boats silently swarmed towards the beach on a rainy night, and the black raincoats formed a spectacular scene with countless starry reflections.
Every soldier under the raincoat was heavily armed. Carrying an AK47 assault rifle on his back. He carried eight magazines full of bullets. Wearing Soviet-style steel helmets, wearing the same Soviet-style military uniforms, hung with lemon grenades, and carrying RPG bazookas and rockets, carrying mortars, recoilless guns and shell boxes, the black pressure is like a surging black tide.
The four infantry divisions were all light infantry and did not have a single heavy artillery. The most powerful weapon is only the recoilless gun, and even the mortar is only sixty zero.
The inflatable boats that Yang Feng gave them couldn't bring heavier weapons.
And all the heavy weapons will be transported by those small landing craft of their own making, but they must wait for these four divisions to seize the beachhead, otherwise the countless artillery on the opposite shore will easily bombard them to the bottom of the sea, and of course if those cannons find these inflatable boats, they will also easily bombard them to the bottom of the sea, in fact, large-caliber machine guns can solve them.
So there can only be a sneak attack.
On rainy nights, small boats that are too small to be detected by radar, and there are no US patrol ships at sea. There are a large number of shore-to-ship missiles and mosquito boats in Hakodate, and so far the Japanese Liberation Army has fired more than 400 of these missiles at the other side. Not to mention the U.S. warships, even the port of Aomori was patronized by mosquito boats.
In addition, the Japanese People's Liberation Army Air Force, which is dominated by Il-28, Yak-25 and MiG-21, has also bombed Aomori many times, of course, the U.S. military has not stopped bombing Hakodate and Sapporo, although the two sides have not fought on land during this time, but the war on the sea and in the sky is still fierce, and even developed to the point of bombarding each other with ballistic missiles, red stones against Scuds, which can be regarded as making countries around the world look lively, in this case, the Tsugaru Strait has almost become a forbidden area of death, and even fishermen dare not go to sea.
Anyway, the two aircraft carrier formations of the United States have dozens of large warships on both sides, and they are afraid of mosquito boats in the narrow strait, but they are not afraid of this thing on the sea outside, as long as they watch the two ends to prevent the Social Workers from obtaining landing ships, it is enough to ensure the safety of Aomori.
But alas, they underestimated the madness of their opponents.
On an inflatable boat, the Japanese Liberation Army Shao Zuo Nakamura, looked back behind him, behind him twenty soldiers crouched low in the cabin, because the same color, almost merged with the black airbags on both sides, but everyone's eyes were full of fire-like enthusiasm, although in front of them were thousands of cannons of various calibers, and they only had rifles and grenades, but no one was afraid, because they all had the most powerful weapons in their hearts.
They have faith.
"Comrades, for the sake of the new country, go forward!"
Nakamura waved his hand and shouted in a low voice, and the inflatable boats under his feet immediately started, and around him, countless similar inflatable boats followed suit, and on these inflatable boats, they all rowed with resolute expressions......
Uh, soldiers paddling their oars.
In order to ensure secrecy, they can only use this method, the sound of hundreds of idle machines working together is easy to hear, any spy in the vicinity can ruin their carefully prepared plan, so they can only paddle, and paddle all the way to the opposite shore, even if they leave the shore, they can't turn on, because they can't guarantee that there are no U.S. submarines below, and the noise of so many engines can be easily detected by underwater sonar.
These diesel engines can only be used in the final charge, if they have a chance to be used, of course.
In this way, 40,000 soldiers rowed a full 2,000 inflatable boats in shifts, with hatred for the invaders, with infinite longing for a better future, and with a firm belief in life, they began their great journey.
Oma, a small town in northern Aomori near dawn.
Yoshida, a soldier of the Japanese Army, sat drowsily at his sentry post, the searchlight beside him slowly turning back and forth, constantly sweeping the surface of the sea on a rainy night with a strong light.
This northernmost town on the Shimokita Peninsula, because it is closest to Hakodate, has become the forefront of coastal defense, not only stationed a brigade of the US army, but also a whole division of the army, the entire coast is completely fortified with reinforced concrete, pillboxes are lined up, all kinds of anti-landing facilities decorate it like Omaha Beach, there are large batteries on the mountain behind it, countless artillery positions on the coast, a high-power radar scans the Tsugaru Strait with electromagnetic waves day and night, even if there is a small fishing boat of dozens of tons on the sea, it cannot escape detection.
Once a target is discovered, an overwhelming artillery fire is ready to send an invading enemy to the bottom of the sea.
However, although there are a large number of garrisons here, but that is only in the data, in fact, because they think that it is impossible for the enemy on the opposite side to put on their wings and fly across the strait, so from top to bottom, from the US army to the land, they are in an extremely relaxed state.
This hellish place is just a small fishing village, there are only a few thousand residents in total, and they are all running clean at this time, not to mention female students, there are few fat aunts, and for Mijun, it is as barren as the Sahara Desert.
"These ghosts!"
Yoshida, who was awakened by a muffled thunder in the sky, looked at a small building not far behind him and said angrily.
Unbridled laughter and exaggerated screams of women could be heard from the comfort stations set up by the Japanese government for Mikun, all young girls recruited from Tokyo to relieve the loneliness of these young people who had traveled across the ocean for the peace and tranquility of the Japanese country, just as they had when they had just occupied the country.
"Phew!"
Yoshida took a sip of hatred.
At this moment, a lightning bolt pierced the night, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, by the fleeting electric light, something strange could be seen on the dark sea, he hurriedly adjusted the searchlight, and a faint boat appeared under the light in the distance, followed by the second, the third, and the fourth......
Countless black boats appeared silently in his field of vision.
Yoshida shuddered without hesitation.
Not the trembling of fear, of course.
He was excited, at this moment Yoshida almost cheered excitedly, he finally waited for the People's Liberation Army, he finally waited for the savior of the Japanese people, freedom, equality, dignity finally arrived, the day of liberation finally came, he rushed to the two sleeping comrades next to him like crazy, quickly kicked them awake, and before one of them could react, he dragged him to the searchlight and pointed his finger at the sea.
The latter rubbed his eyes vigorously, then fell to his knees excitedly, opened his arms and burst into tears, and the other soldier, who had also been kicked awake, understood and immediately rushed out of the post and rushed to the brigade headquarters not far away.
Three minutes later, Ozawa Nakasa, an underground member of the Japanese Social Workers Party and commander of the 9th Division of the Army, hurriedly rushed to the coast in his clothes, and at this time there was already an extra strip of red cloth on his right arm, and on several artillery positions behind him, all the cannons raised their muzzles, but the muzzles pointed to the south, pointing to the headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the 45th Infantry Division of the US Army two kilometers away.
Nakamura Shaosa, who set off from Hakodate, looked at the beach in front of him with an incredulous gaze, the beam of the searchlight was pointing at the open sea on their right, and the area where the inflatable boats that were rushing to the beach like a black tide were dark, and on the beach less than thirty meters away from them, more than a dozen enemy soldiers were waving their hands excitedly, and the unknown Nakamura signaled to his subordinates who had already raised their guns not to do anything about it, and the inflatable boat he was riding in quickly washed up to the beach under the impetus of the tide, and then Ozawa Nakasa, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward to help him who got off the boat.
At the moment when Nakamura set foot on the land of Honshu Island, the enemy, who was supposed to be hiding in the fortress and firing at him, held his hand tightly and said in an excited voice: "It's finally time for you, comrade! ”
A comrade full of affection officially announced the successful landing of the People's Liberation Army.
By the time a lackey of the reactionary government found out about this and sounded the alarm, nearly 200 inflatable boats had already washed up on the beach, and 4,000 heavily armed soldiers of the Japanese Liberation Army were sweeping through all the coastal forts on the beachhead at the fastest speed under the leadership of the welcoming Lu Zi soldiers. At the same time as the sudden siren sounded, dozens of 105-millimeter howitzers suddenly roared at the artillery position that had been controlled by them, and the shells that were whistling through the night instantly smashed into the headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the US Army.
One of the cannonballs hit the residence of the brigade commander, Major General Davidson, the hapless supreme commander of the Oma garrison, who had gone to God in his sleep. (To be continued.) )
