"In addition, we have also developed Type B submarines, the same weapons and equipment as Type A, but we have increased the tonnage, 314 tons on the water, 364 tons underwater, so that the endurance has increased to 5650 nautical miles, this endurance can fully include the entire Yueben into the attack range, as long as we have enough submarines, we will be able to seal the lifeline of the sea, if the Yueben dares to threaten us with the combined fleet, the navy will definitely make them pay the price of blood!"

The last time China brought back the battleship Governor on the border from Germany, it was intercepted and killed by the Navy, and there was almost a conflict, and then in the Battle of Qingdao, the Combined Fleet came to China's waters, although it was defeated by the Air Force, but Chen Shaokuan and other admirals still felt a kind of shame, and the task of guarding China's maritime frontier should be the mission of their Navy, and it was precisely because the Navy was weak that the Air Force had to steal the glory!

Qiao Yu also knows very well that Chen Shaokuan and these people are holding back a lot of strength in their hearts, it can be said that there are many imaginary enemies of the Chinese Army, saying that he himself, the Russians, have huge colonies in Southeast Asia, Britain and France, but the Chinese Navy currently has only one enemy, that is, the combined fleet of Yueben, and even China's weapon development is aimed at Yue himself!

At present, the two types of submarines developed by China have a relatively short range of Type A and are mainly based on coastal defense, while Type B submarines are mainly aimed at the maritime lifeline of the region, and the larger range can just meet the needs.

In addition, the South China Sea is not small, it is just a good place for you to train, we must conduct actual combat training, and train a group of high-quality naval officers and men for me, in addition to the Mawei Naval School, the state is also preparing to establish a Nanyang Naval Academy, and now the main personnel of the Navy will have to go back to the furnace to build another one, and the situation of naval warfare has changed, and these people in the Chinese Navy are still thinking at the stage of the First Sino-Japanese War, which is a serious disconnect! ”

In addition to Chen Shaokuan and other naval officers who have been to Europe, those officers of the Chinese Navy are still left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and their heads may not even be able to accept the kind of naval warfare called Deland, let alone a new type of naval warfare after submarines and aircraft carriers, so cultivating talents has become a very urgent task!

After explaining a few words, Qiao Yu was accompanied by Chen Shaokuan, and went directly to the dock where the submarine was secretly built to visit, and a black fish more than forty meters long appeared in front of him, which was a Type B submarine under construction, some German engineers were directing Chinese technicians to carry out welding work, Qiao Yu had asked not to alarm these workers before he came, so they only thought that Chen Shaokuan came to check the progress, and they didn't know that the person standing in front of Chen Shaokuan was the most powerful person in the country.

"Commander Chen, can all the production equipment and steel needed be produced in China now?"

"The steel problem has been solved, the engine is also stepping up technical tackling, only some large-scale processing equipment can not be produced, such as large hydraulic presses, we can not produce, now we are using smuggled from Germany, for this large machinery Britain and France look very dead, and Germany is not willing to sell us, if not to promise Germany to help them train naval officers, the Germans are not willing to agree!"

Qiao Yu heard this, nodded, China's accumulation is still too shallow, although the industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and has obtained a lot of foreign technology, but still has not formed a strong scientific research team, nor has it formed China's own technical characteristics, for some key surname equipment is still not able to produce itself, although Qiao Yu understands this precedent very well, but also a little worried, after all, can not achieve complete self-production for a moment, there is the possibility of being controlled by others!

"After I return to Yanjing this time, I will issue some tasks to major universities and scientific research institutions, jointly tackle key problems related to the main technologies and machinery and equipment related to national defense, solve the problems within five years, approach the level of the great powers within ten years, and surpass the great powers in 20 years!"

"Prime Minister wise, China must have a strong national defense, this is also the lifelong dream of our soldiers!"

"Well, the Navy's technological progress is very fast, these submarines don't have to produce too much for the time being, and when the technology accumulation is more mature, we are in large-scale production, but there can be no slackness in terms of combat readiness, we must increase training efforts, we must train a group of excellent crew as much as possible, and there must be a huge accumulation of reserve personnel, the future war is a war of attrition, whoever can grit their teeth and survive to the end is the winner, especially the high-tech arms of the Navy, there must be enough reserve forces!"

China's submarines are completely secret to the outside world, Qiao Yu's public purpose to Qinzhou is to inspect the maintenance of the Border Governor and Moltke, with the help of German technicians, these two battleships that have experienced World War I have been rejuvenated again, the huge body is like an emperor on the sea, the power is amazing, the 305 mm main gun holds its proud head high, squints at the sky, and looks at the world!

In fact, the main gun of this caliber is already weak compared to the displacement of nearly 30,000 tons of the Border Governor, but for China, this is the first time that it has a giant ship of this magnitude, and the navy is jubilant, and even the domestic media are full of propaganda and a wave of battleships has been set off throughout the country!

Although in the Battle of Qingdao, China has used bombers to teach the story of artillery giants, but countries around the world have also reflected, is the battleship about to be outdated? Naturally, the world is divided into two factions, the mainstream view is that the battleship is not outdated, and the reason why this failed is that it ignores the air defense force, if there is enough anti-aircraft firepower, with the current speed of the aircraft, the battleship will not be damaged at all, and it will be shot down completely!

Of course, there is also a faction that insists that the technology of the aircraft will improve, the speed and bomb load will be greatly improved, and sooner or later the aircraft will dominate the sea, Qiao Yu is naturally very clear about this kind of controversy, and now China, as the first country to successfully test the aircraft against the battleship, has begun to trumpet the battleship, which will naturally provide strong support to those battleship factions and mislead the naval thinking of the great powers.

However, China's main energy is to focus on submarines and aircraft carriers, the technological progress of aircraft is very rapid, Qiao Yu knows very well that the next war is the era of aircraft carriers, and now what China has to do is to lay a solid foundation, make all preparations, and soar into the sky in the next big war!

Of course, the drama still had to continue, and the next day, Qiao Yu was dressed up, accompanied by his wife Lu Wanqing, and personally boarded the already renovated Border Governor, at this time the warship had been named Guangxi, and Moltke was named Yucheng.

According to China's naming rules, battleships should be named after provinces as the main battleships, and battlecruisers should be named after major cities, and Qinzhou is located in Guangxi, so it naturally took this glory into its hands, and Sichuan, as the birthplace of the Sichuan system, was not far behind, and grabbed the name of Moltke into his own hands!

In fact, in Qiao Yu's heart, the most favorite name is still Zhenyuan, Dingyuan, Zhiyuan, Jingyuan and other old ships of the First Sino-Japanese War.

After some thought, Qiao Yu still decided to leave the names of Dingyuan, Zhenyuan and other names to the real overlord aircraft carriers at sea, and the battleships did not need to be arranged for the time being!

Qiao Yu personally boarded the Guangxi, inspected the situation of the warship, and talked with the naval soldiers, and finally Qiao Yu made an enthusiastic speech at the bow of the ship.

"The world is now the era of sea power, China, as a major country with important influence, must understand the ocean, go to the ocean, and finally conquer the ocean, only in this way can China's national core interests be guaranteed, and the navy is the bearer and guardian of the Chinese nation's maritime dream, for all the navy officers and men this is the glory, but also the pressure, but also the responsibility, the country and the nation give you the responsibility!

Just twenty-five years ago, in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, China's Beiyang Fleet was defeated by Yueben, and finally the whole army was wiped out, China's first attempt to go to the sea was a complete failure, this was the defeat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but this was not the defeat of the heroic naval officers, Deng Shichang and other patriotic generals proved with their lives that they were not cowards, this is also not the defeat of the Chinese nation, from that moment on, China completely saw through the decadence and incompetence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and began to embark on the road of self-improvement and self-improvement, until the final overthrow of the corrupt Manchu Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China!

The Chinese nation will not exclude itself from the ocean forever, at this moment China has regained two world-class warships with huge tonnage, China will once again embark on the road of conquering the sea, I am convinced that our naval athletes will be able to undertake the Chinese people's dream of the sea, but also to achieve the great rejuvenation of the nation, long live the Chinese Navy, long live the Chinese nation! ”

Qiao Yu's not very long speech expressed a strong signal to everyone, China wants to go to the sea again, China will not be satisfied with land territory, but also to develop thousands of miles of sea territory, a big country has expressed a strong interest in the sea, what impact will it have on the world's lively naval arms race, everyone is constantly thinking!

After the ceremony, the Guangxi and Yucheng will go north along the coast and go around all the port cities in China after some sea training, so that the people can see the majesty of the two big ships, and then the two warships will go all the way south to Java Island to boost the morale of the overseas Chinese!

Qiao Yu did not leave Qinzhou in a hurry, but took his son and daughter around, the two little guys were the most curious, they walked out of the deep mansion compound, and they were able to breathe free air, the two little guys were so happy, even Qiao Rui was not so shy!

Of course, Qiao Yu naturally can't put all his efforts on coaxing children, but also to meet some key people, and the one who came to visit Qiao Yu on this day is the Vietnamese Nguyen Aiguo!

"Hello Prime Minister, on behalf of the tens of millions of Vietnamese people, Nguyen Ai Quoc thanks you for your selfless help!"

"Don't be so polite, how is your power developing now?"

"Report to Mr. Prime Minister, I have recruited nearly 20,000 patriotic youths, who are undergoing arduous training under the guidance of the [***] team, and in addition, an intelligence network for Vietnam has also been established, and more and more Vietnamese people are willing to support our actions to liberate the country, and we are now looking forward to being able to enter Vietnam and completely overthrow the colonial political axe!"
