Chapter 341: The Submarine Arrives
Vladivostok, a port that has just been restored
As an excellent ice-free port, Vladivostok's geographical location is important. In 1858 (the eighth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty), Tsarist Russia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty signed the unequal "Sino-Russian Aihun Treaty" after the signing of the Tsar couldn't wait to extend his hand to this rich port, and renamed it Vladivostok, which means "control the East", and took the opportunity to divide more than 400,000 square kilometers of land in Jilin Province with Vladivostok as the center, after the Russian Revolution, it gradually developed into a coastal city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and built a military port.
When Stalin came to power, he did not abide by the omission treaty issued by his predecessor, but took the opportunity to massacre and drive out Han, Manchu and Koreans, and imposed a decree that non-Russians should not live. After Su Tong used a handful of poison gas to clear up the troubles here, he ordered Xi Hanqian, secretary general of the Chahar Provincial Government, to hurry up and immigrate here, but the time was still short, and there was no popularity here, and most of the people who came and went on the streets were soldiers and workers in military uniforms.
Today, Lieutenant General Sun Liren, the new commander of the Vladivostok Group Army, accompanied several officers to the newly repaired wharf and looked into the distance en masse.
Well, the clothes worn by these officers are a little different from Sun Liren, Sun Liren wears the most common dark green sè army uniform, while these naval officers wear white sè naval uniforms. After the production of this kind of uniform, few people were hardly seen wearing it in Chahar, but today it is rare to see it.
The leader, a soldier of about fifty years old and wearing the rank of first rank general, stood in the middle of the line, still holding a telescope in his hand. Shen Sè was very moving, and he didn't know what was muttering in his mouth, and suddenly he turned to Sun Liren and asked, "Fumin, didn't you say that they came back at noon?" It's almost eleven o'clock and hasn't come yet. ”
Sun Liren respectfully accompanied him, and said with a wry smile: "Fu Gong, I really don't know much about this, but according to the time, it should be almost up." ”
After finishing speaking, Sun Liren wiped his forehead with his hand, and secretly complained in his heart, "My Chief Su, why did you invite this master, he is not easy to serve!" ”
Well, the name of the first-class admiral who has a very powerful aura and is called a master by a ruthless person like Sun Liren is Chen Shaokuan, a native of Fujian, and is now a first-class admiral of the National Congress Party, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the Chinese Navy today. In the naval system, his mén disciples can be said to be all over the world, and he is the only one who can compete with Jiang Baili's army mén disciples all over the world.
Since Chahar has established a navy, it is necessary to find a person who understands the navy to manage the navy, such a talent is not as easy to find as an army general, and the training of a naval general requires years of training and accumulation. Su Tong thought about it and decided to dig up the admiral of the National Congress Party, and the chief Su Da danced the xiǎo hoe fast, and finally dug Chen Shaokuan, who had just returned from Europe to inspect the navy from Europe, to Chahar in August.
Today, he brought several naval officers here to greet Long Yu and many other cadets who had returned from Germany and the four ocean-going submarines he had purchased from Germany.
In winter, the port of Vladivostok is quiet and quiet, and suddenly a few black sè xiǎo spots flashed in the east, and behind them there were a few white sè bōlàng trails, and they were quickly heading towards the port.
"It's coming, it's coming! They're coming! A colonel officer shouted loudly, his voice could not hide the expression of excitement in his heart, the Chinese Navy has always been a weakness of the Chinese armed forces since the Beiyang Naval Division, from the Beiyang period to the Republic of China, the pain of having no defense at sea has been deeply haunting the psychology of all Chinese soldiers, although today it is only four UIXB submarine type ocean-going submarines, but they believe that this is just the beginning, in the future they will inevitably drive their warships to break through the wind on the sea frontier.
Time seemed to pass quickly, and it seemed to pass very slowly, but no matter what, the four ocean-going submarines like black swords were still slowly docked on the dock. The cabin opened, and out of it came out rows of officers dressed in Chahar naval uniforms, and walked to the bridge in turn, they slowly walked down the gangway, led by a lieutenant colonel officer, he walked in front of Chen Shaokuan, saluted solemnly, and reported loudly: "Report to the chief, the captain of the First Brigade of the Navy Submarine of the Seventh Theater of Operations, Long Yu and a kind of junior are ordered to return to the country after completing their studies, another!" On the orders of Admiral Su Tong, the commander of the theater of operations, I brought back four German-made UIXB ocean-going submarines back to China, please review them! ”
"Take a break!"
Chen Shaokuan also returned a standard military salute, looking at the four large ocean-going submarines not far away, his heart was also a jī movement, with these four of the sharpest underwater assassins of this era, he Chen Shaokuan is no longer a bare-bones commander, in the face of the fierce Japanese Navy, the Chinese will no longer be a lamb slaughtered without the power to fight back!
"Brothers, allow me to address you like that. You have returned to China after completing your studies, and you have brought back four ocean-going submarines across the ocean, and the hardships on the road can be imagined, and I, Chen Shaokuan, thank you for the navy in China! ”
Long Yu replied with an expressionless face, but in his heart was a collection of feelings, how could the risks encountered on the way back to China be described by the word hardship? It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a life of nine deaths, but the hardships along the way have also honed the will and spirit of this group of students, and these students will inevitably become the pillars of the Chinese Navy in the future.
Future generations should also firmly remember that today, on January 1, 1938, the submarine group of the Chinese Navy was officially established, which marked the first step taken by the Chinese Navy to rebuild the navy in the throes of the First Sino-Japanese Naval War.
When Su Tong received the news of the arrival of the dragon in Vladivostok, it was already the middle of the night, and he was in his office with the book "Chrysanthemum and Knife" that he was going to help Alice publish, which was a good opportunity to get rid of his image as a martial artist at home and abroad. Su Tong knows very well that as the leader of a place or a regime, it is not enough to give people the impression of an iron-blooded general, since ancient times, which leader is not a figure who can be civil and martial, even if he is not, he must forget to put gold on his face. Now that I have such a good opportunity to put on a literati's coat on myself, if I don't seize it quickly, I can only say that I am too stupid.
"Report!"
"Come in"
Tie Niu walked in and said solemnly: "Chief Tang asks to see!" ”
"Oh, Tang Shengzhi? What is he doing here, is there any change in the city of Nanjing! Su Tong muttered suspiciously.
Since he arrived in Nanjing, Su Tong has asked him to manage the security in Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi has been classified as a marginal figure by himself, and Su Tong has always had no good impression of this kind of ambitious and talented person. But Tang Shengzhi is still quite knowledgeable, he knows that he has no foundation in Nanjing, and he does not have any military power in his hands, but he is also very quiet to stay in Nanjing City to do his own thing, and it is the first time that he has taken the initiative to find Su Tong.
After arriving at the xiǎo living room outside, Tang Shengzhi was already waiting there. As soon as he saw Su Tong coming, Tang Shengzhi hurriedly stood up: "Chief Su, the humble and presumptuous arrival is not intended to disturb the chief, but the current public security situation in Nanjing City is grim, and I have to come to disturb it late at night!" ”
"Hehe, Brother Meng Xiao doesn't have to be so polite, although you and I are superiors and subordinates, but you and I are senior brothers, I can't hide it, Gong Ning is my father-in-law, pick up the backup You are my senior brother? I'm going to salute you when we meet. Su Tong said with a smile.
Huaxia officialdom pays attention to huāhuā sedan chair people to carry people, whether you like this person or not, you must do enough kung fu on the surface, giving face to others is to give yourself face, of course Su Tong knows this truth, since Tang Shengzhi is obedient to his arrangement, he and his superficial kung fu must have to do enough, so as not to be branded by others, saying that he is an arrogant and rude person.
Sure enough, after listening to Su Tong's words, Tang Shengzhi's original feeling of being seized of power and resisting was reduced a lot, and he comforted himself: "It's not a shame to be kidnapped by Su Tong, since ancient times, the teacher's life cannot be violated, Su Tong is his teacher's righteous son, that is, his own junior brother, what he means is also the teacher's meaning, and there is nothing to say about being kidnapped by the teacher." ”
Speaking of which, although Tang Shengzhi has many shortcomings, there is one thing that is very rare, that is, he respects his teacher very much, which is extremely rare in later generations.
"Then I'll call you Jianming unceremoniously." Tang Shengzhi will also hit the snake and go to the pole, and he really called it like this, "Jianming, in the past few days, you and our police station have found that the Japanese agents are very active in Nanjing City, and today we have captured a Han Jiān who worked for the Japanese, I heard that they are going to plan an assassination, and we don't know who the target is, but"
Speaking of this, Tang Shengzhi was silent, just looked at Su Tong and was silent.
Su Tong understood, who else is there besides himself in Nanjing City who can make the Japanese who have been lurking for a long time risk of violence to assassinate him? As long as he dies, no one will be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals of the Congress Party outside Nanjing, and they will definitely be in a lump, and Nanjing will definitely be lost, and where will their forces and troops in the four Chahar provinces go at that time? The nearly one million heroes and the huge foundation under his command are all red-eyed, and I am afraid that when I die, China will be luàn!
The more Su Tong thought about it, the more frightened he became, he never thought that he had become an indispensable figure in China, the Japanese had a good calculation this time!
Su Tong stood up suddenly: "Okay, Japanese, you can let the horse come over, what huā recruit buddy next!" ”
