Chapter 577: Ambition and pride
It is better to say "crying" than "forcing debts, because in Tang Yinkai." In the past two years, the bulk of the national defense funds have been given to the Sixth Army, and the navy is so poor that it is tinkling. Although they bought several surface ships and submarines, Tang Xiangming and the Admiralty felt wronged. This grievance, they intend to get back from the president today, and the president does not agree to put this "unplanned money." Allocated to the Admiralty, they are going to lay the floor in the presidential palace today
。
Just now, the German minister came over, and the president said nonsense, saying that Tang Xiangming came over to thank the German shipbuilding technical experts for their contributions to China's shipbuilding industry, which is of course not true, but the president actually mentioned the need for large surface ships in the navy by the way, and swore to the German minister that he wanted to buy two large warships from Germany, which seems to be regarded as a turning point, and Tang Xiangming of course refused to let go, so the president went back to the reception room. He immediately led his subordinates to stand up and looked at the president with blank eyes.
Seeing that the eyes of these senior naval officers were almost spewing fire, Zhao Bei smiled faintly and motioned for everyone to sit down. And whispered a few words to Qin Sihu.
Qin Sihu turned around and left the reception room, Zhao Bei sat down on the sand and glanced at the admirals present.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I know that since the republic, the navy has suffered a lot of grievances, you have some opinions, this center can be understood, I can also understand, but then again, the center is in financial difficulties, unable to meet the military needs of the 6th Army and the Navy at the same time, considering that our country is a big country on the 6th, these 6th armies are naturally the top priority, unlike Japan, which can fully support the naval exhibition. That's right. I have told the Admiralty many times, and I believe you understand that you have come to me today to ask for the purchase of ships, but you have taken a fancy to the money that the Ministry of Finance has just received, but as far as I know. With more than 10 million yuan of Chinese dollars, you can't buy a battleship. ”
"But. We can buy cruisers, we can't buy cruisers, we can buy destroyers, torpedo boats. ”
Tang Xiangming couldn't wait to express his opinion, but was stopped by a gesture from the president, and at this time, Qin Sihu also walked back to the reception room, carrying a briefcase in his hand. He walked up to the president and handed over his briefcase.
Zhao Bei took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, flipped through them, picked out a few pieces of letterhead paper from them, and instructed Qin Sihu to hand them over to Yu Xiangming.
Tang Xiangming took the letterhead and looked at it a few times, and now it was a few sketches of warships, but they were very sloppy, obviously not drawn by professional designers, and they were reminiscent of Mr. President's "hobby." General Tang is almost certain that these "warships" were designed by the president.
"Chief Tang. The strength of your navy is indeed weak, but at present, the national defense policy of the "6 main sea servants" will not be fundamentally changed, and the navy should still strengthen the construction of submarine forces, but considering the needs of the navy, the center can purchase two large warships for the navy, but these two warships have special purposes. They are not used for head-on combat with enemy fleets, but are specially designed to attack enemy merchant ships and lone light warships, and they do not have high requirements for armor and firepower, but they have high requirements for navigation. So, it was necessary to use the most advanced steam turbines, and I would consider asking German or American shipyards to build them. But just now I listened to the meaning of the German minister, the German shipyard may not have an empty dock, then. You'd better go find the Americans first. U.S. shipyards were invited to undertake the construction of the two attack ships, and the construction contract must specify that the U.S. shipyards must hire some Chinese shipbuilders and technicians. Help our country to cultivate shipbuilding talents. Of course, with more than 10 million yuan, these two attack ships cannot be built, and the center can raise a part of the funds from the salt money and hand it over to your Admiralty.
In addition, how should this kind of attack ship be designed, or should be planned by a professional designer, these sketches I gave you are just a design concept, and the specific design work should still be handed over to the Admiralty, so I will not point fingers, but there is a design principle that must not be shaken, that is, this kind of attack ship cannot be thick because of the emphasis, the armor cannot be thick. Therefore, the firepower arrangement of this attack ship must pay attention to the direction of the ship's course, in other words, the number of main guns of the ship must be more than the number of main guns of the ship, and the firepower of the ship must be sacrificed to strengthen the firepower of the ship. ”
The president's words made Tang Xiangming breathe a sigh of relief, although in his opinion. The "assault ship" designed by the president was somewhat maverick, but it did meet some of the requirements of the Admiralty.
"Rest assured, President, we are going to discuss this matter with the U.S. commercial representatives. Ask the president to approve a note, and we'll go and buy the ship. ”
Tang Xiangming was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he hurriedly stood up, ready to ask for the president's approval and rushed to the Ministry of Finance to collect the money.
Zhao Bei shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry." Mr. Tang, I haven't finished my sentence yet. The construction of these two attack ships, your Admiralty should not only make a big deal of it, but it is better to vigorously trumpet its performance, so that the whole world knows that the American shipyards are building the most advanced warships for China. Once built, all Japanese cruisers were scrap metal. And you have to let the wind out, let's say, if these two new warships are built well and quickly, then China will continue to contract the construction of at least four more battleships to American shipyards. ”
Tang Xiangming and the admirals were a little surprised, they didn't know what the president's plan was, but since the president had nodded and given the purchase of the ship, it seemed that there was no need for them to get to the bottom of it.
After all, it has been proven that the president does everything with a purpose, and the president always stands tall from a high position.
By the time the elated admirals left the reception room, the two-story building of the Commander's Hall had finally regained some peace. Zhao Bei rushed back to his office exhausted, and asked the captain of the guard, Qin Sihu, to make him a cup of Yiyi Bow In the past few days, he has relied on things to refresh himself, and the matter of the alliance between China and Germany 4 days is seriously insufficient, and now the overall situation has been decided. Moreover, judging by the meaning of the German minister, Sino-German relations will not be alienated because Congress does not buy it. Opposite. Just now, Zhao Bei deliberately revealed to the German minister the differences of interests between China and Russia, and presumably the Germans will also be encouraged by this, and the assistance to Chinese industry will only be further strengthened.
After half a cup of black tea, Zhao Bei's spirit was slightly better, and he glanced at the stack of documents on the table that had not yet been processed. He sighed helplessly, although he had the assistance of the chamberlain and the superintendent's office, but every day a large number of official documents were sent to him for approval, which was still the workload after he delegated power to the cabinet, which was also the inevitable result of the rapid development of the country's industry and commerce, and there were some things. Being guided by a historical time-traveling seems to improve work efficiency, which is also one of the main reasons for Zhao Bei's "seizure of power".
Putting those documents in front of him, Zhao Bei did not immediately start to review them, but first picked up the phone on the desk and shook it through the attendant's room.
"6 Yumitsu. You Lixuan went to the Military Intelligence Bureau, brought over the intelligence summary of last month, and called Director Jin Zhaokun Jin by the way. ”
Press down the phone. Zhao Bei began to review the thick official documents, most of which are about economic affairs, and now the "four industrial exhibition plans" have been carried out to a critical time, some work is completed ahead of schedule, and some work is still lagging behind the plan, which requires someone to coordinate, scientifically and cautiously adjust the steps of the plan, others may not know how to adjust, but Zhao Bei knows what project is the most important in the future industrial system.
This batch of reading was almost half an hour, and when Zhao Bei finished reviewing the accelerated UC e-book, 6 Yuguang had already led Jin Zhaokun to the office and brought the information over.
Jin Zhaokun is still the director of the Fourth Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau, mainly responsible for social intelligence, and the Fourth Division is also specifically responsible for doing "wet work" The reason why the alliance has collapsed is that in addition to the dispersion of people's hearts, the Fourth Military Intelligence Bureau has also played a key role in it, and Jin Zhaokun's killer may not be as professional as Tian Jinfu's subordinates. However, there are many people, and they are all Jianghu figures, and relying on the strength of the Jianghu Society, the intelligence network of the military intelligence has been extended to the United States and inferior regions, and it has become a powerful weapon for the center to deal with certain "tricky people."
6 Hiromitsu was only an adjutant in the chamber of attendants, and the president talked to the head of the intelligence service. Supposedly he shouldn't have been standing next to him. But just as he was about to leave the office, he was stopped by Zhao Bei.
"6 Major Hiromitsu, you don't have to leave. Just listen here. ”
"Yes!"
6 Although Yumitsu did not know what the president was going to do, he also stood in the corner with interest.
"Director Kim. What do you do about the infiltration of Lushun," Zhao Bei asked Jin Zhaokun.
"Almost, I was planning to go over in person, in order to ensure the security of the entire intelligence network, Lushun has established a total of five intelligence teams, there is no direct contact with each other, and they are only responsible to all places." Jin Zhaokun said.
Zhao Bei pointed to 6 Yuguang who was standing in the corner and said, "It's just right." You went to Lushun this time, and by the way, you brought Major 6 Yuguang over for a long time. The Lushun Intelligence Network is extraordinary. It is necessary to strengthen cooperation in the four and five places, and now that Tian Jinfu is not in the bureau, when he comes back, you can consult with him again. Well, nothing else. Go down. ”
Jin Zhaokun left in a hurry, and Zhao Bei called 6 Yuguang to his side.
"6 Major. Do you have any opinion if you were transferred to the Intelligence Bureau? ”
"Nope!"
6 Yuguang replied very simply, but he did have some regrets in his heart.
"I know. You want to apply for the 6th Military University, but at present, the 6th Military University is far less promising than the Military Intelligence Bureau, of course, if you really don't want to go to the Military Intelligence Bureau to engage in intelligence, I can approve you to go to the 6th Military University for further study, and you can even enter without examination. Think about it. And then answer
Zhao Bei didn't make 6 Yuguang feel aggrieved, he gave the game two choices.
6 Yuguang was a little excited, it was rare for the president to trust him so much. So I didn't think about it, and the one who "snapped" stood up and saluted.
"The ministry is willing to go to the Military Intelligence Bureau and go to the fire for the president, and I will not hesitate! 6 Army University, I'm not going. ”
"So. You go down and prepare now, report to the Military Intelligence Bureau tomorrow, first practice with Director Jin, and then you will follow Director Tian to do things. ”
"Yes!"
6 Yuguang turned to leave, and when he walked out of the office, he couldn't help but pat the guard captain Qin Sihu on the shoulder, said "take care" and went with a smile on his face.
Qin Sihu walked into the office and saw the president stretching behind his desk.
"Commander-in-Chief. You just let 6 Yuguang go? "Qin Sihu is a little strange.
"Of course. 6 Yuguang has been an adjutant here for more than two years, and now it is indeed time to let him go out to exercise, besides, 6 Yuguang's father 6 Rongting has now officially submitted his resignation to the center, and voluntarily resigned from the post of the town guard in southern Yunnan, since he knows each other so well, he must give them a little benefit to the old 6 family. ”
Zhao Bei stood up with a smile, walked to a map hanging on the wall, looked at the map, picked up a pencil, drew in the southern Yunnan region, and then drew in the northern Yunnan region, then put down the pencil and shhh
。
"After these powerful factions are subservient, the center can more easily allocate the country's resources, and in the next two years, China's industry will develop faster. As long as the establishment of the industrial system is completed, China. He will no longer be the sick man of East Asia to be slaughtered! In the future, Chinese planes and artillery will surely bring glory to this country! ”
For the president's ambition and pride, Qin Sihu firmly believes.
