Chapter 47: The Imperial Fleet
In the next few days, Yang Feng can be said to be full of happy events.
Stimulated by this great victory, Chinese young people from all over Southeast Asia flocked to Ambuna Island like a tide, and tens of thousands of soldiers needed to be received by the enlistment office every day, East Indies, Malaya, Siam, French Indochina and even distant Honsawawady and even Tianzhu, countless young men and women driven by national pride competed to stand under the banner of the sun and moon, so that Yang Feng began to pick and choose.
After all, all he needs next is technical troops, and he can't do it without some education.
Fortunately, this is Nanyang, almost everywhere Chinese schools, to ensure that he has enough talents to choose, with the help of the British officers provided by Lord Mountbatten's friendship, Yang Feng in just one week to triple the size of his army, the Ming navy, land and air force The total strength of the three armies of the Ming Dynasty swelled rapidly to 30,000, because the number grew so fast that the housing on the island was not enough, and many recruits had to set up tents.
But even this did not stop the enthusiasm of the Chinese to join the army.
Fortunately, a week later, Yang Feng didn't need to worry about the housing problem, because his aircraft carrier formation had arrived.
The first thing that sailed into the military port under the watchful eye of the public was a behemoth more than 200 meters long and nearly 30 meters wide, towering on the right side of the towering ship island, with a straight deck and dense carrier-based aircraft at the back of the deck showing the majesty of the sea hegemon.
"The aircraft carrier of the Dreadnought fleet, commissioned in 1940, has a full load displacement of 29,000 tons, 110,000 horsepower three-axis propulsion, and a maximum speed of 3.5 knots, and is currently equipped with 43 Haihuo III carrier-based aircraft, and there are more than 100 antiaircraft guns of all kinds including 4.5 inches, hangars, decks, and side sides have perfect armor protection, and it has participated in many battles, including the Battle of Okinawa, and can be regarded as the absolute main force in the Royal Navy.
Lord Mountbatten stood beside Yang Feng and said with infinite emotion.
"The old doesn't go, the new doesn't come, look over there, I think you'll be in a much better mood."
Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder and said.
Not far from them, countless twenty-five kilograms of gold coins were piled up into a mountain of gold that made everyone dizzy, and a bulldozer was parked next to the mountain.
Well, the Führer's payment method is so domineering.
"Your Excellency, what kind of new name are you going to give it?"
Lord Mountbatten asked.
"Isn't it a bad name now? The Dreadnought, it will strike fear into the hearts of all enemies. Yang Feng looked at the dreadful number docked at the dock and said.
After the aircraft carrier docked, Wu Zurong and hundreds of Ming soldiers wearing blue naval uniforms who had been waiting on the dock lined up to board the ship, and then completed the handover with the Dutch naval officers who came with the ship, and lowered the Dutch naval flag that had just been hung for a few days in the music of the military band, and then raised a bright red dragon hugging the sun and moon flag, and this giant warship officially joined the sequence of the Ming Imperial Navy.
Then the British sailors on board disembarked in a procession.
After completing the reception of the Dreadnought, the Gambia and the Mauritius light cruisers docked in turn, both of which are Fiji-class or also called colonial-class, with a full load displacement of 10,700 tons, 72,000 horsepower four-shaft propulsion, a maximum speed of 32 knots, a cruising range of 10,000 nautical miles, four triple 152 mm main guns, two front and rear, and eight 102 mm secondary guns, the firepower is very powerful, which is why Yang Feng likes this cruiser.
These two battleships can no longer be called by their original names.
"Hongwu and Yongle, in the future, except for the captured ones, the cruisers will be named after the year of my Ming Dynasty."
Yang Feng said.
Well, the cruisers Hongwu and Yongle joined the Daming naval sequence.
Then there are the four battle-class destroyers, this kind of destroyer with a full load displacement of 2,800 tons is mainly air defense, and it is the absolute main force of the British Navy in the fifties and sixties, although it has not been really tested in actual combat, but it should still be trustworthy in terms of the terror record that the Persians used until the nineties.
These four ships were named after the heroes of the late Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa, Zhang Huangyan, and finally Yang Feng specially added Qu Shiyun, and the destroyers of the Ming Navy were all named after historical figures.
Together with Kaohsiung Ji, eight battleships lined up at the dock, and there was also a momentum like a forest, and the three Soviet warships that were captured after completing the exhibition in a few days will also join the Ming Navy, and the Prince Eugen is also sailing from the United States to Europe. This heavy cruiser has just arrived in the United States, and then it was sold to the Dutch government by the United States government, of course, its final destination is known to everyone, but at this time, it is the most important thing to quickly arm Yang Feng, after all, it is difficult to find a thug who is willing to fight with Stalin.
As soon as I think of a statement made by this guy not long ago, I don't know how many imperialists are secretly laughing at this time.
The Führer announced that in order to prevent such despicable sneak attacks in the future, he would not allow any Soviet ships to pass within a radius of 500 kilometers around the Ming Empire.
Well, he completely blocked the throat of oriental shipping from the Malay Peninsula to Borneo, and if Soviet merchant ships or warships wanted to sail from Europe to the Far East, they could only go through the Sunda Strait, the Java Sea, and the Makassar Strait to bypass the Luzon Islands, which required an increase of at least 2,000 kilometers of range, and he had to pray for asylum from the people of the United States, after all, now Yang Feng even had an aircraft carrier formation, and if he changed his words one day and said that the entire South China Sea was his blockade range, then Starling would probably have to let his ships detour to the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
It's simply...
"This is simply madness, the great Soviet people, absolutely cannot tolerate the rampant of this jumping clown, we will use the iron fist of the proletarian class to let this imperialist executioner accept a just trial!"
In the Kremlin, Starin waved his arms angrily and shouted, in front of him, a group of ministers were silent, and the new Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Vasilevsky, did not even dare to raise his head, originally he would have to take up this position later, but Admiral Antonov was kicked out by Stalin because of the fiasco of the Pacific Fleet.
"Alexander, do you have any new plans?"
Stalin, who had vented his anger, quickly returned to normal, and looked at Vasilevsky with a fierce face on his pipe.
"Comrade Stalin, it's not easy to do!"
Vasilevsky said boldly.
"What?"
Starling's eyes froze.
"Comrade Stalin, the only thing we can do is to send large submarines to attack his warships and merchant ships, but our submarines rarely set foot in that area, and there is a serious lack of hydrographic data along the way, so even if they go, it is difficult to do anything, at most it is a harassing effect, and attacking merchant ships will have an impact on our national image.
As for the surface ship strength in the Far East, it is no longer enough to strike at him, and the fleet can only be transferred from the Black Sea or the Baltic Sea, if it was mainly based on the battleship Sevastopol before, and the Black Sea Fleet transferred a special fleet plus the remaining destroyers of the Pacific Fleet, it is indeed possible to eliminate Yang Feng, but now, after the British sell the Dreadnought aircraft carrier formation to him, this cannot be done, after all, we do not have aircraft carriers, and land-based fighters cannot provide support for the navy. ”
Kuznetsov, who was with Vasilevsky, hurriedly said.
"Aircraft carriers!"
Starling said with a sneer.
Of course he knows these things, he just can't swallow this breath, as for sending the Sevastopol to the Ming Empire, even he knows that this kind of thing is very unreliable, especially the latter has that kind of mysterious speedboat, he really doesn't dare to risk his own treasure of the town. Besides, the treasure of his town and country can't go to the Far East, the nickname of the port battleship is not called in vain, and the poor endurance is about the same as that of a destroyer, how to complete an expedition of tens of thousands of kilometers.
"And according to the intelligence, the Mi people have just sold the Prince Eugen to the Netherlands." Vasilevsky cautiously added.
"Prinz Eugen? According to the agreement, didn't all the warships of the fascist SI countries have to be dismantled or sunk in the sea? ”
Starling said with a sneer.
"It's clear that the people of the United States are not prepared to abide by this agreement."
"Hmph, can the Zeppelin be repaired?" Starling said.
Well, he's not ready to comply either.
"It should be possible, but we also need to develop specialized carrier-based aircraft." Kuznetsov said.
"Then fix it and let it move, our navy must have aircraft carriers, otherwise even such a clown can jump in front of us, which will seriously affect the fighting spirit of those colonial people against the imperialists, one is not enough, more aircraft carriers must be built, and we must maintain a fleet that is strong enough for us to do whatever we want anywhere in the world."
Starling said.
"So where is Yang Feng?" Vasilevsky hurriedly asked.
"Let him jump first, see how long he can jump, and tell the comrades in Malaya and Java that we will fully support their just cause, especially the Javanese, and that our merchant ships will definitely go through them in the future, and that we might as well bring more things to the comrades there."
Dutch, they are getting bolder! ”
Starling said with a sneer.
Well, under the desperate instigation of Yang Feng's little butterfly wings, the direction of the world finally completely deviated from the original track, stimulated by him, Stalin began to really turn his eyes to aircraft carriers, instead of clinging to his giant ship cannons, and began substantial support for the Javanese war, which was originally only verbal support.
