172, the battle of the sea 2
"Hey, hey," a string of sinister laughter came from an office of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
Wu Di held a document in his hand, laughed extremely lewdly, and said to himself: "The surname Kong, you have finally fallen into the hands of Lao Tzu." ”
Wu Di, as a traverser, was accidentally taken away by Li Bufan because of the golden finger, and he was very aggrieved that he couldn't be the boss, of course, he slowly found out that the boss was not so easy to do, even if he was the boss, he was afraid that he might not be as good as Li Bufan, anyway, Li Bufan also recognized the "grand plan" he planned, so he gradually didn't take it to heart. But when the fight started, some of his initial general directions still had a little effect, but his military level that was not even half a fool in the specific battle couldn't help at all, which made him, a traverser with a "pig's foot" mentality, embarrassed?
As a result, Wu Di decided to fight against the "evil forces". In the era of the Republic of China, who was considered an evil force? It is none other than Kong Xiangxi's family, this is a commodity that wants money and does not want to die, and it is a miscellaneous thing that dares to make a fortune in the face of national disasters. To put it bluntly, the livelihood of the four major families of the Republic of China was all ruined by this family.
The four major families of the Republic of China: The Jiang family is the boss, but Jiang Weiren really doesn't have much private money, and getting money is also to develop military and political affairs, and he will fight small Japan in the later period; The Song family itself is a rich man, Song Charlie returned to China to scatter wealth to support Sun Wen's revolution, Song Ziwen is also righteous and awe-inspiring, with national integrity, and to a certain extent during the Anti-Japanese War, he supported the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to fight small Japan; Brothers of the Chen family, needless to say, they are so poor that they are so poor, although they have power, but they have made a huge contribution to the cause of education, do you miscalculate power? Not wrong.
The most disgusting villain is Kong Xiangxi's family. It is a loss to claim to be a descendant of Confucius, and talking about 'courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame' with this family is dirty.
Wu Di felt that he couldn't help in the specific affairs of the war anyway, so he had to fight against this evil force in the future and eradicate him in the bud. So isn't the Kong family in business? Lao Tzu came to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
"Bullying and dominating the market, deducting wages, poisoning workers to death and disability, tax evasion" Wu Di looked at the documents and smiled at the corners of his mouth, "I don't believe that you can't die." This is not the era of Jiang Weiren, and the Kuomintang will play soy sauce for the time being. ”
"Report to Wu Junshi. Commander-in-Chief, please. ”
Wu Di was proudly disturbed. I wanted to go crazy, but when I heard Li Bufan calling him, he immediately said, "Right away!" "Although I don't know what Li Bufan called him, but during the war. I must have wanted to get him to come up with an idea. Although he doesn't know much about military affairs. But there are many tactics in history that can be used for reference.
Wu Di ran to the command hall of the Ministry of National Defense. Seeing that Li Bufan, Li Huashan, Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng and Yang Yongtai were all there, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Boss, I need to know this for 5,000 years." What did the 500-year-old army division do? Go ahead! ”
Duan Qirui and the others twitched the corners of their mouths when they saw Wu Di's shameless posture. Seeing that they don't know, Wu Di really didn't brag, this product is from the 25th world, it is considered to be 500 years later, 5,000 years in Chinese history, and the era of information in later generations, it is too easy to understand history, and it is barely 5,000 years in advance.
Li Bufan had long been accustomed to the temperament of the enemy Wu, so he said: "Don't be wordy, the main force of the British and French navy escorted 300,000 British and French troops eastward, and it will enter the Bay of Bengal in a few days." Is there any way to take out their fleet and troop carriers at the lowest cost? ”
Wu Di spread his hands and said, "Fight, what else can I do." Our aircraft carrier has not been built well, otherwise the carrier-based aircraft will directly send them to the sea to feed Wang Ba. ”
Duan Qirui snorted coldly and said, "Fight? How to fight? There were more than 100 warships, including five battleships, four battle cruisers, and nine 10,000-ton heavy cruisers. What about us? Two battlecruisers "Kirishima" and "Hiei" captured from Japan, three Jiangsu-class pocket battleships "Jiangsu", "Jiangxi" and "Fujian", and three 8,000-ton cruisers "Nanjing", "Shanghai" and "Suzhou" totaled more than 70 warships, more than half of which were old warships. What do you want to fight with others? ”
Yang Yongtai knew that Duan Qirui and the others were a little disgusted with Wu Di, so he immediately said: "There is a huge difference in strength. They are definitely sailing along the western part of the Bay of Bengal, beyond the combat radius of our fighters. If you work hard, I'm afraid you'll suffer. ”
Wu Di sneered: "What if you don't fight?" If you don't stop them, doesn't India want tens of billions of wealth? ”
Duan Qirui. The corners of Xu Shuzheng's and Yang Yongtai's mouths twitched, tens of billions, who doesn't want this wealth. This money is enough for China to fight with the great powers for ten or eight years. Don't look at the huge amount of money spent on the First World War, Britain and France imported tens of billions of dollars of materials from the United States alone, but they bought them purely . China is different, China's defense industry is basically in the hands of the government, these industries were formed by Li Bufan's raid and acceptance of some state-owned assets at that time, and the materials consumed by the Chinese military are actually the wages of workers, and in the final analysis, the bulk is in casualty compensation and medical treatment. Tens of billions, enough for anything.
Give up these riches? That's absolutely impossible. Without this wealth, where would the war money come from? That can only be apportioned to the people of the whole country, the currency is devalued, the people suffer, and the materials are poor, and in the long run, there will definitely be chaos.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wu Di laughed dryly and said, "Don't worry, our navy has a killer feature." ”
Li Huashan said with a straight face: "Even if you use the killer weapon to kill the local capital ships, the other party's warships are still far superior to us in number. Our new warships are fast, but when the main forces of the fleet are in a duel, the effect of speed is there, but the effect is limited. ”
Wu Di laughed and said, "We can send bombers to help." ”
Li Huashan shook his head and said: "The H-1 Thunderbird is only suitable for horizontal bombing, and it is extremely difficult to hit the enemy ship in the maneuver. Moreover, the great powers have so many lessons from the past, warships are equipped with a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower, aircraft cannot bomb at low altitudes, and the hit rate of high-altitude bombing is even more negligible, which is completely equivalent to a blind cat hitting and killing a mouse. ”
Li Bufan frowned deeply, and said slowly after a long time: "In the world's martial arts, only fast is not broken." I don't think it's out of the question. ”――
A red sun jumps out of the water, refracting colorful colors on the vast surface of the Indian Ocean.
The fleet, which has always been huge, is speeding westward under the light of the rising sun, and more than 70 warships and several high-speed supply ships stretch for dozens of miles, and the momentum is magnificent.
The Chinese Navy has been in decline since the First Sino-Japanese War, and although there are dozens of warships, almost all of them are antiques from the last century, and their combat effectiveness can be described as extremely low. Although Li Bufan took a certain break from these old warships after the reunification of China, their combat effectiveness was still very limited. Although Li Bufan spared no effort to build a naval shipbuilding industry and built ships by ordering parts on a large scale and returning to China for assembly, due to the short period of time, there were only more than 30 cutting-edge warships in China, and most of them were destroyers and light cruisers.
This naval sortie has concentrated almost all the combat ships that the Chinese Navy can mobilize at present, and although China has lost some of its old warships in the battle, it has also captured and repaired some of them in the battle.
Sa Zhenbing, Li Dingxin, Lin Jianzhang, Ding Peng, and Shen Honglie looked at the huge fleet on the flagship "Jiangsu" pocket battleship, and their hearts were extremely excited. The joint operation of China's two main fleets allowed them to finally truly feel the size of the Chinese navy, which was previously unimaginable.
"It's spectacular!" Sa Zhenbing couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone's hot eyes looked at Li Haijun standing on the fence of the command cabin, the Chinese Navy can have today, Li Bufan's unsparing support is of course indispensable, but Li Navy and naval experts presided over the design of new warships, and a large number of parts were ordered and assembled overseas, so that so many new warships could be quickly manufactured, otherwise, with China's shipbuilding capacity, it would be good to be able to build ten or eight warships in more than three years, not to mention that there are still many warships in the base now, and there are even super warships.
"Report to the chiefs: Shark 2 is calling, and the main fleet has passed through the Maldives." A Navy staff officer hurried out of the command module to report loudly.
Li Dingxin smiled and said: "It's here, it's good, I've already beaten him up as a son of a bitch." ”
Lin Jianzhang said disdainfully: "You are an old thing with no self-confidence, and you still beat them? Don't go to deliver food, I'm also on our South China Sea fleet. ”
"Don't make a noise!" Sa Zhenbing glared at them, these two old things are about to become enemies in order to fight the extra capital ship, hurry up to stop it, otherwise they are afraid of quarreling again. He received a telegram from the staff officer, stepped forward and said to Li Haijun, "Commander, what do you think? ”
Li Haijun smiled and said, "Calculate the speed of the enemy's fleet and see where he will be at dusk tomorrow." ”
"Dusk?" Sa Zhenbing frowned, puzzled, and said, "Commander, the commander-in-chief means that we should effectively use the advantages of our new warship's high mobility, and start at dusk, then it won't be long before it gets dark." I'm afraid that night battles can't effectively play our speed advantage, right? ”
Li Haijun smiled and said, "You're right. But it was dark for us to evacuate. In this battle, the main force of our navy was brought out, but even so, the strength was still far from being comparable with the combined fleet of Britain and France, and it did not have the conditions for hard fighting for the time being. We can't fight hard, we can only fight and run, and play our killer role. ”
Sa Zhen Binghu said suspiciously: "But we can do the same during the day." Our ship speed is 33 knots, the average speed of their warships in the dreadnought era is 20 knots, and the speed of the teacher warships in the former dreadnought era is only 14 knots, and it is impossible to catch up with us. ”
Li Haijun smiled and said, "You're right. But we can only make the submarine work at night if we let them stop. Isn't it? ”
"Hehe" everyone laughed dryly, there are not many submarines in China, but they are definitely deep-sea killers, especially at night, and they are even more difficult to prevent. The Navy's anti-submarine capture of quite a few American submarines, understanding its level, to say that it is ugly, it is simply a gap of the times. (To be continued......)
