Chapter 328: A Pit
Said Ben in the World War I rapid expansion, the most obvious is his navy, on the construction of super dreadnoughts on the said Ben presented a crazy situation, Fuso-class, Ise-class, and the soon-to-be-completed Nagato class, three levels, six giant ships were completed or began to be built in World War I, and these super dreadnoughts basically have a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, they are well-deserved sea monsters, and this is even more crazy than its teacher Britain in the pursuit of maritime supremacy.
Since defeating China and Russia, the navy has established its status as a naval power in the Asia-Pacific region, but he himself has a kind of worry and even fear about China from the bottom of his bones, and in fact he has been oppressed by a behemoth for thousands of years, and this reaction is really normal, and he will absolutely not allow China to embark on the road of developing its navy again, which is a consensus in China.
China has obtained four huge ships from Europe, which has greatly stimulated the warship, and the military department has drawn up several plans in succession to sink the Chinese warship before it returns home, and it is absolutely necessary to stop the development of China's maritime power, and the political circles are very worried about the plan of the madmen of the military department, and if it attacks the Chinese warship, it will be tantamount to declaring war with China, and it will also annoy Britain and the United States and other countries, which is simply more than worth the loss.
Moreover, the cabinet also made an assessment early, believing that even if China gets these four warships, it will not greatly improve China's maritime strength, and first, these four warships were damaged in the War, and China simply has no ability to produce the steel plates needed by ships, so naturally it cannot be repaired, and there is no experience in using giant ships, and there is an extreme shortage of naval talents, and more importantly, China cannot even produce the armor-piercing shells needed by warships. It can be said that these warships are just useless toys after they reach the hands of the Chinese.
In addition, the navy is a systems engineering project, and there are only capital ships, and there are no other auxiliary ships, and there is no ability to go to sea to fight at all, and the Cabinet of Ministers advocates keeping a close watch and waiting for the opportunity to deal with this kind of warship that is basically no threat, and the military is of course dissatisfied with the conservative attitude of the political axe, and they are making a big noise and even directly threatening it; just when the quarrel in the country is inexorable, Britain informed the Japanese side of the movements of the two warships through secret channels.
After getting this, the military department was like a treasure, this was not just a piece of information, but also the British license to authorize the [***] ship in the attack, and suddenly the military department completely grasped the initiative and suppressed the political axe, and they also knew the actions of the Chinese in Paris, and the reason why China was so crazy was that the reason for this insatiable greed.
Now the British are sending the information to the hands of Yue himself, just to give Qiao Yu a good look with a fake hand, and by the way to provoke the confrontation between China and China, it can be said that the British abacus is very fine, and it also hit the sore spot of the two sides, and with the support of British intelligence, they can accurately know the route of the border governor and the Moltke, and now they are just blocking these two warships.
He had already sent a telegram to the two prey, demanding that they surrender immediately, otherwise he would attack and completely knock the two warships to the bottom of the sea.
Chen Shaokuan, as the commander of this fleet, was already covered with sweat on his head at this time, of course he knew the situation of the two warships, after a long journey, the speed had been greatly affected, and the two warships were already injured, they were not repaired at all, the ammunition was also seriously insufficient, and there were no auxiliary ships, and now they were blocked at sea, I am afraid that there is only a dead end.
Now the main pilot of the warship is still the German Navy, these German crew members also looked a little flustered, Chen Shaokuan barely calmed down his emotions, and said to the German general: "Mr. Seckert, the strength of the fleet is far stronger than ours, but as a member of the Chinese Navy, I am ready to command the warship to fight for life and death, and it is really my dereliction of duty not to escort you to China safely!" ”
Seckert appeared very calm, this Prussian nobleman faced the most dangerous situation, but still calm, for later generations of Chinese, Seckert was not very strange, he was the military adviser to the Nanjing National Axe, and also presided over the construction of the Seckert defensive line.
In fact, Seckt is more important to Germany, it can be said that without Seckert's efforts, there would be no brilliant achievements of the German army in World War II, it is his hard work that preserved the German officer corps and staff system, otherwise the Entente will completely destroy it, and at the same time summarize the lessons of the First World War, formulate a new training plan, in addition, he also presided over the transfer of a part of the German [***] industrial enterprises to the Soviet Union, to preserve the vitality of the German [***] team to the greatest extent, It also laid a solid foundation for the rearmament of Germany twenty years later, and he himself is revered as the father of the Wehrmacht.
In this time and space, Seckert found a better place to transfer military technology, that is, China, the foundation laid by Germany in the era of military industry in Sichuan, has a strong German tradition, and China has an unparalleled advantage over the Soviet Union, that is, distance, if a large number of military industrial enterprises are placed in the Soviet Union, it will inevitably cause technology leakage, and China does not have this concern, the two countries are too far away.
And because of the problems of World War I, Germany's privileges in China were swept away, and it also paved the way for cooperation between the two countries, so Seckert couldn't wait to run to China just after the war, just to find a Noah's Ark for Germany.
Seckert nodded slightly at Chen Shaokuan: "Chen, although I don't know naval warfare, I am also a soldier, and the glory we pursue requires us to never bow our heads, even if it is at the cost of our lives!" ”
Seckert turned to the German crew and said, "Young men, unfortunately we are surrounded by the German people, who may think they can make us submit, but I want to tell you that Germany chose to surrender not long ago, but waiting for the infinite humiliation of Germany, we must not make this mistake again, Germany will never give in!" ”
A kind of courage to see death as if it were home was diffused among the crews of both China and Germany, and the Border Governor and Moltke were all ready for battle, and the commander in chief of the Combined Fleet, Yamaya, was in charge of the interception, and the admiral, who had just been appointed commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, was ambitiously controlling the most powerful maritime force in the history of the United Fleet, and his emotions were very high, which was the most glorious moment for the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, and it was also the time when he was most proud.
Xiao Xiaochina is not worthy of having a navy at all, let the great combined fleet sink them to the bottom of the sea, of course, this is just the idea in the hearts of others in Yamaya, of course he knows that the Border Governor is the brainchild of the German Navy, which is very valuable for reference, don't look at the battleships built by the battleships of the present are larger than the tonnage of Britain and Germany, but there is still a gap in the ship-building technology of the Yamaya, if these two warships can be captured, it will be a huge improvement to the ship-building technology of the Yamaya, so the Yamaya others have sent reports several times to let the Chinese Navy choose to surrender.
"Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese Navy did not react, on the contrary, they still had to seize the position and prepare for battle, please give the commander an order to sink the two warships!"
The other people of the mountain house saw that they could not do it without a fight, so they were ready to let the fleet attack, at this critical moment, suddenly the telegraph staff took an urgent telegram from Tokyo, panting and sent it to the hands of the others in the mountain house, after receiving the telegram, the brows of the others in the mountain house were tightly furrowed, and the telegram actually asked them to let go of the two [***] ships, and withdraw the book as soon as possible. How can you give such an order at a critical moment, isn't this a joke!
The general will not accept the order of the foreign king, the words of the ancients of the Chinese people are still very reasonable, and the others of Yamaya will ignore Tokyo's orders and continue to give orders, but at this time, several telegrams were sent in a row, and the wording became stronger and stronger, resolutely asking the others of Yamaya to let go of the [***] ship, and the others of Yamaya finally felt the pressure of the country, and had to order the warships to start turning en masse and withdraw to the northeast, letting go of the border governor and Moltke.
In the face of the sudden turn of the warship, Chen Shaokuan was puzzled, saying what kind of trick was he playing, did he want to seize the position, until the fleet went farther and farther, Chen Shaokuan was still a monk in the second zhang, and at this time, the domestic radio also sent a message.
Tell them that an agreement has been reached between them, so that they can rest assured and boldly return to Qinzhou, the patrol envoy personally greeted, after seeing this telegram, Chen Shaokuan was completely relieved, it seems that he really escaped death, but then he was also a little puzzled, what means did the patrol envoy use, but he was able to make the vigorous Yue himself go back, it was really incomprehensible.
Secket was also very happy at this time, although he said hard, but he had an important mission, how could he die at sea casually, it was good to say that he could retreat, the two warships rode the wind and waves all the way, and quickly drove to Qinzhou, when there were still 100 kilometers away from Qinzhou, several reconnaissance planes appeared in the sky, obviously the reconnaissance planes sent by Qiao Yu, although these two warships are not important, but they are all carefully selected talents by Qiao Yu, if the loss then the navy must be hit hard.
And there is such a great god as Seckert, if he has an accident, whether the cooperation between China and Germany can continue has become a question, so Qiao Yu is most worried in his heart, and when he got Chen Shaokuan's telegram, he was completely relieved to know that they had been safe.
The two warships were moored on the dedicated berths, and it was the first time that many Chinese generals had seen such a huge warship, the thick barrels showed strength and majesty, and the battleships were definitely more attractive than aircraft carriers in terms of senses, and it was definitely the pursuit of every man to be able to control the most powerful killing tools that humans had piled up with metal.
Even Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel excited after seeing these two warships, Chen Shaokuan accompanied Seket to get off the warship together, "Junzuo, Chen Shaokuan has lived up to his mission and brought the two warships back!" ”
Qiao Yu nodded with great satisfaction, "You have worked the road, and I haven't lost my mind yet, otherwise I will lose a general!" ”
If this can let go of China's warships, China will also assist this to develop the resources of the Russian Far East, among which the most attractive thing is oil resources, which is also the sore point of this island country, oil cannot be self-sufficient, no matter how strong the navy is, of course, this is also a pit dug by Qiao Yu himself, It's a bone that makes Sayben and the Russian dog-eat-dog!
