As a well-known coastal city in China, Qingdao was also a colony fought by Germany and Japan during World War I, and since the defeat of Japan by the Southwest People's Army, Qingdao, a coastal city, has returned to the embrace of the motherland.

After more than ten years of development, the continuous red tiles have been replaced by planned high-rise buildings. In particular, within Jiaozhou Bay, a large naval economic zone has been built along the bay.

This is a very mysterious naval port, for more than ten years, since the liberation of Qingdao, no one is allowed to approach here, for more than ten years, except for the countless heavy trucks that can be seen coming and going every day, everyone has no idea what is happening here. Even those fishing boats are strictly forbidden to enter Jiaozhou Bay, which has been closed for more than a decade.

Today, however, this military port is bound to be clear and remembered by everyone.

Because by tomorrow, the eyes of the whole of China will be focused here, and many of the broadcast trucks of China Central Television have been arranged two days ago. Many people in Qingdao also received the news that they could go along the coast to watch the flag-awarding ceremony of China's first independent ocean-going combat formation, the China Pacific Fleet.

Navy Economic Zone, this place is known to many Qingdao citizens, and citizens who usually come here can often see soldiers wearing naval uniforms, but this is the first time they clearly know that there is a naval base here.

It's no wonder that they are, in fact, near Jiaozhou Bay, there is no decent fleet in sight, and no one will think of anything at all. However, these days, a large number of naval ships have been brought together here, with crisp white outfitting. The majestic posture has made many Chinese people linger on the coastline.

There are even many people who come from other places just to see the style of their own national fleet.

Even if they have seen the appearance of the motherland's navy countless times from TV, when they see the demeanor of the warship in reality, everyone is shocked. Because even if you have watched it countless times on TV, only when you have seen such a behemoth in person can you truly feel the touch of your heart and feel the pride of your heart.

Today, when all the television stations and broadcasts simultaneously broadcast the news that Emperor Zhongxing of the Chinese Empire had arrived in Qingdao, the atmosphere in Qingdao at this moment was instantly raised to a very high level. Everyone is running to tell each other. I hope that more people will share their joy.

By the sea. Although there is still one day before the start of the ceremony, the entire coastline is already overcrowded. Fortunately, there were a large number of police and armed police forces maintaining discipline and keeping the scene from being too chaotic.

Qingdao Naval Economic Zone. In a very inconspicuous tavern. For many have gathered to the seashore. Business in this small tavern is not very good. There are only two tables of guests inside, and it looks like these two tables are still all the way.

It's a strange combination, there are three people at a table. There were only two people at the other table. This kind of dining table can seat ten people, enough for five of them to sit together.

In a table of three people, a middle-aged man and two women seem to be a family.

The two big men at the table of two people looked more like bodyguards. One of the men was still clutching a black lockbox in his hand. And there is an iron chain that ties the box to the hand, and even when eating, it is eaten with the other hand, as if this box is more important than everything. The two big men were very quiet, not saying a word, and ate slowly. The corners of my eyes are inadvertently paying attention to my surroundings.

On the other side, there was a constant conversation, but the atmosphere looked a little depressing, because the two women in it kept tears in the corners of their eyes.

"Yun'er, come and eat this, you've lost a lot of weight these days, eat more." Chen Shao, who was dressed in an ordinary suit, used his chopsticks to pick up a small piece of fish and put it in the bowl in front of Chen Yun.

At this time, Chen Shao was obviously wearing makeup, the hair in front of his forehead was draped over the corners of his eyes, and a pair of heavy glasses gave people the feeling of an old scholar. As long as you don't pay much attention to it, you won't be associated with the emperor who is high in the empire at all. And there is a fake scar on the face, which makes it easy to ignore the other party's appearance at a glance.

Xie Yuxin beside her was also specially dressed up, dressed in plain clothes, without any decorations, and looked like a very ordinary housewife.

If they don't, they'll be instantly recognized, because in the middle of the lobby of the restaurant, the picture of the two of them is in a huge frame.

"Hmm!" Chen Yun lowered his head and slowly ate the contents of the bowl. Dressed in a crisp white navy uniform, he was the most conspicuous of the five people here.

"Yun'er, don't be willful anymore! When you said that you wanted to be a soldier, your father and I agreed, saying that you were going to come to the navy, and your father would arrange it for you immediately. But this time, Mom, please don't let Mom worry about you anymore, okay? Xie Yuxin on the side looked at Chen Yun, who didn't speak, and tears dripped down her eyes as she spoke, "Before, when the enemy air raid came, my mother heard that you were in the naval fleet, do you know that my mother didn't think about tea and dinner for two days, and had nightmares at night." Promise Mom, this time you'll stay in the Navy headquarters and don't go to sea, okay? ”

Chen Shao didn't say anything, just gently hugged Xie Yuxin, picked up a tissue and wiped away the tears from the corners of Xie Yuxin's eyes. At this time, although Chen Shao's face was quite calm, his heart was not calm at all. But he didn't say anything, because he knew that this was the emotion of parents for their children.

"I'm sorry Mom, I'm sorry Dad!" Chen Yun still couldn't control the tears in the corners of his eyes, got up and slowly knelt in front of Chen Shao and Xie Yuxin.

"Get up! It's public. Looking at Chen Yun's actions, Chen Shao shook his head and said softly.

"I know that I am very willful, and as a son of man, it is really unfilial to let you worry about me so much. However, among the nearly 10 million soldiers in the empire, none of them have relatives and friends who are concerned, please forgive your daughter's selfishness. Chen Yun didn't get up, but slowly said with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, get up, it's all so big, and I'm still crying, it seems that the training of the army is not strict enough." Such an atmosphere made Chen Shao feel very uncomfortable, and he had no choice but to show his majesty to break the current sad situation.

"Yes." Chen Yun got up.

"Keep eating. Your younger brother has already joined the army in the first few years, and Meng'er and your second aunt went to the grassroots to comfort the wounded soldiers. Since you joined the army, we have finally had the opportunity to sit down and have a meal together, so as not to break the good atmosphere. Chen Shao took a sip of the drink, suppressed the emotion in his heart, and said loudly. In fact, he wanted to be desperate and order his daughter, but he couldn't do it.

"Husband, why don't you say a word, I'll ......" Xie Yuxin pulled her husband. I want him to take direct measures. It's just that her words were interrupted by Chen Shao as soon as she spoke.

"Yuxin, I can't be selfish. This is Yun'er's own choice. She's not a child anymore. Have your own ideas. I don't want to limit her. I don't want to use coercion to restrain her, although I am a father, I am also the leader of the empire. Chen Shao slowly closed his eyes. She didn't dare to look at her wife's expectant gaze, and spoke again:

"Yuxin, don't worry, if Yun'er is a front-line combat force, then I will go against my heart once, be selfish once, and I will not allow her request. The mode of war has changed, Yun'er will be fine. ”

Xie Yuxin was still worried, how could she rest assured when she thought of her daughter following the fleet to fight the enemy in the depths of the ocean.

"But ......"

"Do you believe me?" Chen Shao interrupted Xie Yuxin's words.

"I believe it." Looking at Chen Shao's eyes, Xie Yuxin nodded.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and let them choose their own paths. I promise, there will be no danger this time. ”

Xie Yuxin just nodded helplessly.

Chen Yun didn't speak all the time, her heart was full of guilt, guilt for her parents. Nearly a year of military career, let her understand a lot of truth, when she was in the Air Force, she was shocked by the spirit of those pilots to forget their lives. She matured and understood a lot, so she made her choice again.

But every time she chooses, she knows that she is adding a burden to her parents, but she still can't convince herself. Because she is also a member of the army, all her comrades-in-arms are also sons of man, and others can die and live for the empire, how can she retreat.

After ending this somewhat depressing family dinner, Chen Shao did not continue to be with Chen Yun, when they sent Chen Yun to the gate of the naval base that had just been opened, under Xie Yuxin's reluctant gaze, Chen Shao ordered the driver to drive away.

At the gate of the naval base, looking at the car in the distance, Chen Yun finally couldn't hold back his crying, and in sobbing, he saluted the car in the distance. Then, wiping away tears, he walked into the naval base without hesitation. Climb aboard an already prepared carrier-based helicopter and fly towards the sea in the distance.

In the car, Xie Yuxin didn't hold back, lying in Chen Shao's arms and crying silently.

Tears also appeared in the corners of Chen Shao's eyes, only he knew what he missed in his heart.

The car drove in through the gate on the other side of the airbase and went straight to Air Force One. Helping Xie Yuxin get out of the car, the two walked up Air Force One, which lowered the stairs.

As the world's most advanced mobile command platform, even if Chen Shao comes to the ground, as long as it is not Hanjing, then he will work in Air Force One. Just like this time when he came to Qingdao, he did not choose to work in the Qingdao government office, but went directly to Air Force One to remotely control the actions of nearly 10 million troops.

When Chen Shao had set up Xie Yuxin and took off his disguise and came to the command center of Air Force One, Cai Yi, Jiang Baili, Chen Shaokuan, Qian Pengfei and others were already waiting here.

Cai Yi and Jiang Baili, the two imperial generals who are now sixty years old, are still very energetic. The two were born in the same year, and they were both the three heroes of the army that year, and their relationship has always been very good.

If Chen Shao hadn't just come up with penicillin back then, I'm afraid Cai Ye would have been unable to save it back then. The head of the Operations Department of the Chinese National Defense Forces is not today's Cai Ye.

"Why are they all here, is something wrong?" Seeing a few people who seemed to be waiting for him, Chen Shao asked a little strangely.

Several people looked at each other, and finally Jiang Baili ordered the surrounding staff: "Everyone go out." ”

After all the staff in the command center went out and closed the cabin door, Jiang Baili said to Chen Shao:

"Your Majesty, have you really agreed to the princess's request? I ask Your Majesty to think twice, although the mythical aircraft carrier is very powerful, but war is not child's play, once there is any accident. That....... ”

Hearing Jiang Baili's words, Chen Shao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that his subordinates were above such a battle, and thought that something had happened to the troops in front. When he heard Jiang Baili's words, Chen Shao sighed in his heart, waved his hand to stop Jiang Baili, and said:

"Baili, Songpo and Shaokuan and Pengfei, you have always been by my side since the southwest, although the time before and after joining is different. Inside. Pengfei was the earliest. Next is Brother Baili and Brother Songpo, and finally Shaokuan. The four of you have been with me for twenty-two years. You all know my character very well, so I don't need to say much about it. ”

"But. The status of the princess is so noble. How can you take the risk yourself. Not to mention. Fighting a war is a man's business, and the princess has a daughter, which ....... ”

Cai Ye also wanted Chen Shao to change his decision. Although Chen Shao said it very clearly, and he also understood what Chen Shao meant, he still wanted to fight for it, after all, this matter is not child's play.

"I remember that Brother Songpo and Brother Baili, the sons and grandsons of the family, all joined the army, and the sons and daughters of Shaokuan and Pengfei were also in the army. Many went to the front and made a lot of contributions to the empire. These juniors are all good, and your selflessness is also good.

In November last year, Brother Baili's third son was attacked by a grenade and is still recuperating in the hospital and will live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Brother Songpa, Cai Yongren is your eldest son, but now he is lying in the martyr's cemetery. Shaokuan, one of the cruisers that was sunk in the incident of the attack on the fleet last year, I know that your daughter is also on it. Qian Pengfei,......。

Not only you, but also Chen Fuqin and other senior generals of the National Defense Forces, the white silk at home has not been withdrawn, and even the sons of Weiren and Zhongli are currently fighting bloodily against the enemy on the front line of the Northeast Theater.

When I say this today, I am not revealing your wounds, but I want to ask you, do you regret sending your children to war? ”

"No regrets." Several people replied at the same time. Although they experienced the greatest sorrow in their lives, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, they never regretted it for a moment.

"With subordinates like you, I, Chen Shao, have always felt very relieved, and I am proud of the empire to have you. I'm proud of you. Chen Shao walked over and hugged everyone in turn, at this moment, he was no longer the emperor of the empire, just like them, he was a father.

"If you can be so selfless, how can you make me selfish." This is Chen Shao's answer to them, and it is also a response to his own concerns.

"But the identity is different, the princess of the dignified empire ,......"

Chen Shaokuan is the most stressed among them, because Chen Yun is a member of the navy today, and she is also among them this time when the fleet is reorganized. He wants Chen Shao to change his mind the most. It's just that before he finished speaking, he was picked up by Chen Shao.

"The princess is also a human being, just like your children and all the people of the world. It is our responsibility to live in a temple and worry about its people, not that we are nobler than the people. This will never change. ”

Now it is no longer a feudal period, not to mention that Chen Shao has always been pursuing a kind of equality, even if the existence of class is the natural nature of human development, he still hopes that the class level can be infinitely weakened.

"I'll get it." Hearing Chen Shao's serious words, the four of them looked at each other and said nothing more.

"Let's not talk about these unpleasant topics, let's talk about the state of the fleet's preparations." Chen Shaodao.

"Yes." Hearing Chen Shaokuan's question, he immediately replied: "After several days of preparation, the aircraft carrier battle group drawn from the North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet has arrived in Qingdao, and the joint aircraft carrier formation composed of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Hanwu Emperor and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Zhongxing has also joined the Royal Pacific Fleet in the established sea area, and is currently heading towards Qingdao Military Port. When the official flag presentation ceremony of the Pacific Fleet begins tomorrow, it will be able to arrive at the military port on time. ”

"How's the port preparations?" Chen Shaodao.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when it was decided to build a large-scale comprehensive military port in Qingdao, the construction of the Qingdao military port had already begun, except for the survey, design and preparation in the first two years, the empire spent 14 years to build this military port, mobilized more than one million manpower, more than 50,000 engineering equipment, and spent more than 50 billion yuan in total. It was finally completed last year. Today's Qingdao Military Port has become the largest naval port in the empire. Moreover, according to the standards built by His Majesty, this is also the first military port in the world that can dock more than 500 warships at the same time, of which the largest ten docking points can also dock 100,000-ton aircraft carriers. ”

In order to build this military port, Chen Shao will send a large number of engineers every year, these engineers are all from the biochemical nest of the Red Police Base, and they are assigned to every capital construction unit. It is not only to monitor the quality of construction, but also to be the main force in the design and construction work.

Chen Shaokuan dared to call this military port the first in the world, and naturally he had a reason, because there is no military port in the world with such scale and capacity.

The Qingdao Military Port Wharf adopts a jetty-type structure with high technical content and great construction difficulty, which can effectively use the water area and improve the berthing capacity of the wharf. The military port can dock several large warships at the same time. The breakwater of the aircraft carrier military port is also the longest in the world, which can withstand a once-in-a-century typhoon.

Another very important point is that the military port of an aircraft carrier is completely different from an ordinary military port, especially the military port where a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier docks, which is completely different from a conventionally powered military port. An aircraft carrier military port should usually have four major functions, namely, a huge berthing space for ships, a sound logistics support system, good daily maintenance capabilities, and convenient life support facilities. If it is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the port must also have facilities for filling nuclear fuel, as well as a plant for the treatment of nuclear waste.

First of all, it is necessary to have space to accommodate one or more aircraft carrier formations. Most of the aircraft carrier military port wharves have been built into jetty piers that can be inserted into the depths of the water, so as to arrange as many types of military ships as possible.

It is necessary to have a sound logistical support system. The aircraft carrier military port can provide support and services for a wide range of ships, boats, aircraft and a large number of crews.

It is necessary to have good daily maintenance ability. Aircraft carriers spend 1/3 of their time in maintenance every year, so the aircraft carrier military port must have a complete set of repair facilities that can complete crew-level maintenance and minor repairs of carrier-based aircraft and mother ships.

It is necessary to have convenient living facilities. When the aircraft carrier squadron is resting and recuperating in its home port, the officers and men need convenient living support facilities, and the living consumption expenditure of the officers and men will drive the local consumption level and form a unique aircraft carrier economy.

One of the most difficult is the disposal of nuclear fuel, and a nuclear waste storage site has been built in the mountains near Qingdao for the nuclear waste produced by nuclear-powered ships.

The naval economic zone is for the service of the huge fleet of naval officers and sailors, and there are all kinds of commodities in it, although this business opportunity has not yet been fully reflected, once the aircraft carrier begins to rotate, the economy here will improve rapidly, and become a new economic driving force in the region.

Moreover, Chen Shao also specially built several shipyards here, which are all for the maintenance and construction of ships, and there will be no production tasks. There are also three repair shops, as well as four large air bases.

It's all in the service of nuclear-powered ships.

It took fourteen years to build such a military port, which is not a long time. Because this is the first time to build such a huge military port, many things are explored for the first time, and I don't know how many experiments and improvements have been carried out before qualified cement can really come in handy.
