Gao Zhihang, like Chen Haihua, has asked himself countless times when will we be able to have our own plane? ! But he never dared to find the answer.

Having studied abroad, he knows how big a gap there is between the country and Europe, the United States and even Japan! This gap was not made up overnight, and even when he flew the P-26 to shoot down the Japanese fighter plane, he was very satisfied!

As a Chinese Air Force, being able to shoot down enemy planes on its own soil is already a dream that many pilots of the older generation have not fulfilled in their lifetimes!

Germany did not understand why these Chinese would cry over a plane, they did not know that this was the first time that a country that had been bullied for hundreds of years was keeping pace with the world.

Just like the aircraft carrier carnival in later generations, foreign countries have never understood why the Chinese will celebrate the birth of their aircraft carriers so much. It even evolved into a reminiscence and carnival. They don't understand that this is a kind of moving that a country that has been bullied from sea power for many years is slowly approaching a strong country!

Several middle-aged men in military uniforms, pale faces and thick glasses under wine bottles were shaking their lips in the office, wiping tears from their eyes. They were international students returning from overseas, and they worked day and night designing the fighter.

When German engineers and designers go to rest, they are working and learning about technology. When German engineers and designers were drinking and having fun, they were holding various materials and drawings and comparing and doing research.

They know that their home country needs to contribute and accumulate more than others. They are also keenly aware that the Japanese who have suffered losses will not give up on their laurels!

In the new fighter, if it loses, then the Wehrmacht will be forced to resist with the flesh and blood of the air force, which is already very small in number! They know the burden on their shoulders, and they don't slack off!

The stalls in the three eastern provinces are very large, and although there are investments from other countries, some projects are still being done by themselves. The Harbin part has just been hit by the disaster, and the cultivation everywhere needs subsidies. In fact, since the disaster relief, government officials throughout the three eastern provinces have voluntarily subscribed to the bonds of the three eastern provinces.

The funds of these bonds are used as investment in scientific research and education. These people who have come back from abroad, they know from the bottom of their hearts every penny of money in their hands. It was all buckled out of the teeth by the provincial governments of the three eastern provinces.

They knew that Tu Qianjun, as the commander-in-chief, even used only the rations and clothes rationed by the troops! The full salary was paid for the bonds of the three eastern provinces, and they knew that Yan Zhengqing, as the governor of the three eastern provinces, had not received any salary since he took office.

Yang Yuting, Chang Yinhuai and others not only did not take a salary, but also donated more than half of their net worth!

They are silently paying to make this country rise! So that they can build our own fighters and tanks!

In our hearts, we all have a dream of a great power! I dream that our motherland can return to the prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties! Top of the World!

This is what Hou Xiaoqiang, as the chief designer, told them. These juniors who have returned from abroad. Take this as a creed! They have developed their own fighter!

Several designers representing the scientific research center who came to watch the ceremony, looking at the admiring eyes of the German generals on the viewing platform, suddenly they felt a fire in their hearts!

It's worth it! Just for these admiring looks! They know it's worth it!

At the same time, Navy Commander Shen Honglie, who was on the viewing platform, and Air Force Commander Chen Haihua, who was excited to look at the fighter planes soaring, secretly thought in their hearts, when would our Navy be so moved......

At the end of the month, the first cadets of the Wehrmacht's Naval Academy graduated. And those who came to the graduation ceremony, in addition to Navy Commander Shen Honglie, also included Tu Qianjun, Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces.

However, the sharp-eyed cadets noticed one thing: the commander-in-chief did not sit in the main seat. They couldn't help but be a little confused. Who the hell is it that is even higher than the commander-in-chief! It can be done on the main position.

But the strict discipline of the Wehrmacht made them suppress their doubts, and did not ask questions, but straightened their waists and sat upright on the chair, looking solemnly at the rostrum.

Suddenly. They saw their god-like commander-in-chief stand up! walked towards the door, and the commander-in-chief of the navy, Shen Honglie, also stood solemnly and hurriedly walked towards the door.

After a while, I heard bursts of applause from outside ......the door! Everyone turned their heads, only to see their commander-in-chief and naval commander surrounded by an old man who was over his prime!

The old man was dressed in an old-fashioned navy uniform, but his waist was straight! Looking at it, you can see that this is definitely an old man who has been in the army all year round, and everyone is puzzled! Who is this old man?!

"Oh my God! He...... He is Mr. Sa Dingming!! In the crowd, someone shouted! And with this shout, the students in the entire auditorium exploded with a "whoo~"!

Who is Sa Dingming?! He is Sa Zhenbing, who is known as "the model soldier of the Chinese Navy"!

Admiral Sa Zhenbing. The name is Ding Ming, a native of Minhou, Fujian, born in 1859, and entered the Mawei Shipbuilding School in Fujian at the age of 12 as a second class of students. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he went abroad and entered the Green Naval University in the United Kingdom. After returning to China, he served as a full-time teacher in Tianjin Guanlun School.

During the First Sino-Japanese War, he led the "Kangji" sailors to guard the Nankou Ridao Fort, bravely resisted the Japanese army, and fought hard for ten days with heavy casualties! until it was ordered to withdraw.

The old man. I have seen the fiasco of the Chinese side in the naval battle between China and France. After experiencing the helplessness of defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, he also thought about rising up the Chinese Navy. But in the end, when he learned that his command had revolutionary ideas, he chose to leave the fleet on the grounds that he was sick and needed medical treatment.

Only "I'll go!" was left behind! In the future, the military will wait for ships to do their own thing. "Tell your subordinates.

And now, the old man is in good spirits! Walking slowly into the auditorium with majestic steps, everyone suddenly stood up! The applause of "Bang la la~" rang out!

Surrounded by Tu Qianjun and Shen Honglie, the old man came to the rostrum. When he found out that he was the lord, and the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht was beside him, he couldn't help but glance at Tu Qianjun in surprise.

"You deserve it!" Looking at this old man, Tu Qianjun's gaze did not dodge at all! Facing the old man, he said calmly: "You are the living history of our Chinese Navy......

Sa Zhenbing was silent, and it took a while for the old man to walk to the front of the chair. He pressed his hands on the students of the Wehrmacht Naval Academy, whose palms were red.

The applause gradually subsided, and looking at these energetic students, Sa Zhenbing suddenly remembered the students he had taught in Tianjin Sailor School. The same ambition, the same young and proud!

"I've often had a dream. A dream about the sea. I dreamed of the blue sea, the big white waves, and the giant ships riding the wind and waves! Thousands of years ago, it was a long trade route across the East China Sea, and it was an ancient maritime silk road leading to Tianzhu and Daqin! ”

To the students below. Sa Zhenbing said in a slow and deep voice: "In those few fragments, the only thing I remember is that on the shore of the Baijiang River, thousands of sails destroyed the great reputation of the Tang Empire, history never believes in tears, without the blow of the Tang Dynasty's thunder and rage, there would be no pattern of peace in East Asia for nearly a thousand years after that!" ”

"When I woke up, I couldn't forget that year! I can't forget that day! September 17, 1894!! ”

The voice of the old man. It's getting a little tragic! There was a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes, and he looked at the students below and said in a deep voice: "That day, on the East China Sea that carries countless heroic spirits of the Chinese Ocean!" We, lost the national fortune! Lost Taiwan! Lost the dream of becoming a modern power!! ”

"Since then, we have been up and down and struggling in tribulations again and again! Our oceans and rivers are allowed to run rampant by the navies of other countries!! ”

The old man looked at the students below with some excitement, his eyes red.

"Shame on you!! Shame ......" hundreds of graduates of the Naval Academy slowly lowered their heads. Some people hid from their comrades-in-arms and began to cry slowly......

"Those Chinese who used to be in the navy have always had only one dream in their hearts. Defend the sea and revenge the country!! Chinese Navy, who can forget Dadonggou ?! Weihaiwei?! But the 100-year-old navy ...... How easily did we rise?! ”

At this time. The old man slowly straightened up and said in a deep voice to the graduates below: "When I learned that you were fighting bloody battles with the Soviet Navy!" When I learned that you were fighting the Japanese army! When I learned that the Commander-in-Chief had gone to great lengths to procure battleships from Britain and establish a full-fledged naval academy! I sincerely admire and be proud! ”

"At that moment, I knew that there are still people in our country who have not forgotten and have not forgotten the sorrow of the first year! I haven't forgotten the humiliation of having no defense at sea! Just as night must follow day, we will achieve nothing without a decisive sea power; With it, there is victory and glory! ”

Listening to the old man's words, these students slowly straightened their chests! They knew that their commander-in-chief had never asked the Navy to accomplish anything. But all kinds of equipment, supplies and treatment are never less!

They know that this is because their commander-in-chief also has a strong naval dream in his heart! For this. They only have training to grit their teeth! Make yourself stronger! Make this navy stronger!

"As a soldier serving in the navy, I have stood on the bow of the ship countless times to meet the baptism and impact of the blue sea waves, and I can hear the roar of the wind and waves above the East China Sea, which is the soul of our navy's countless sacrificed predecessors who have never been extinguished! They are torturing us. Torture you! The national shame is not over! Slack no?!! ”

"Shame on the country! Don't dare to slack off!! "A roar rang out in the crowd! All the students stood up and shouted at the old man on the rostrum!

Looking at these students, the old man nodded slowly. Slow voice.

"Our navy is still very weak. The tradition of our Navy going to the sea. It was also once completely interrupted. But none of this can stop us from walking towards this blue land! ”

Everyone stood up, and they straightened their backs with all their might! looked at the old man above solemnly, and engraved all his words in his bones!

"The prosperity of every powerful country in modern times is inseparable from the prosperity of sea power. And in the future, the establishment of our country's sea power will be inseparable from you, young students who are just starting out now! Now we only have this little possessions, but our will and determination to go to the sea will not be lost to the navy of any country! ”

"As the country grows stronger, we will also have cruisers, destroyers, and aircraft carriers all over the sea! But before that, I ask you to contribute everything you have to the development and growth of the Navy with your determination, will, and even blood and life! This is the natural mission of the new generation of naval officers of your Wehrmacht!! ”

"Wehrmacht! Kill!! The neat roar below was a response to the old man. Looking at the eyes of the students wearing navy uniforms below, the old man's eyes gradually moistened.

"We old men, we can't kill anymore! But I hope that in you, the shame we have endured will be undone! The old man looked at the students below and bowed deeply: "Children! Please......"

And these students, with tears in their eyes, solemnly gave a military salute to the old man!

"Boom, la......" The entire auditorium suddenly burst into applause! The old man slowly straightened up, and looked at these students with relief!

"Investiture ceremony, begin!!" With a loud shout, everyone slowly sat down and waited for the award to begin. At this time, Tu Qianjun helped the old man to stand up, and said in a deep voice to the old man in the surprised eyes of everyone.

"Sir, I hope you will be able to give our navy a title! I hope you'll be able to tell them! Fight! Wei!! Unyielding Backbone!! ”

When Sa Zhenbing heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Tu Qianjun. But in Tu Qianjun's eyes, what he saw was sincerity! So the old man nodded silently. Subsequently, one by one, the graduates whose names were read walked onto the rostrum with solemn steps! Excitedly, let the old man of the Chinese Navy confer the title on himself.

Shen Honglie, who was on the side, watched the old man conferring titles on the soldiers under his command one by one, and his mood was quite agitated! Tu Qianjun beside him whispered: "Junzi, don't be afraid of your jokes!" I'd love to have this old man give me a title too......"

Tu Qianjun smiled, but didn't say anything.

After the awards, the newly promoted officers and men were assigned to serve on the two strongest battleships and four light cruisers of the Wehrmacht. On the same day, the commander-in-chief of the national defense forces of the three eastern provinces telegraphed to Nanjing to confer the post of marshal of the navy on Sa Zhenbing. He also retained his position as the dean of the Naval Academy of the Three Eastern Provinces.

After more than four hours of silence, the Nanjing government replied: yes.

After that, a large stone placed at the main entrance of the Naval Academy of the National Defense Forces of the three eastern provinces was placed on a pair of vigorous and powerful characters:

The national shame is not over! Slack off?! (To be continued)
