In September, the military port of Horseshoe Bay in Guangxi, the military flag hunting, this military port located in Fangchenggang, in addition to being the largest naval production and manufacturing base in New China, is also the first aircraft carrier home port in New China, although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Republic began to build large military ports including Qingdao Military Port in Shandong, Wusong Military Port in Shanghai, Zhanjiang Military Port in Guangdong, etc., but this Horseshoe Bay Military Port located on the coast of Guangxi has always been the most important military port in New China.

Just because there is a shipbuilding base that is far larger than Zhanjiang Shipyard, the second largest shipyard in New China, and Jiangnan Shipyard, the third largest shipyard, and it is the only place that can quickly start building aircraft carriers. Although the other two shipyards can also build 10,000-ton ships, they are still much worse than this modern shipyard that has been built for ten years in the southwest period.

The naval strength of the new China mainly consists of three fleets, of which it has three aircraft carriers.

The first aircraft carrier, which was originally the Kunming aircraft carrier and later renamed the Zhonghua, was produced by the Jiangnan Shipyard and converted from the Fangchenggang Shipbuilding Base.

The second aircraft carrier, the Chengdu, was converted from a flat-topped ship purchased from the Philadelphia shipyard in the United States during the economic crisis, and after returning to China, it became the second aircraft carrier in the Southwest period after being converted from the Horseshoe Bay shipbuilding base.

The third aircraft carrier, named Hanjing, is also a Chengdu-class aircraft carrier. Unlike the two advanced large aircraft carriers that were being built at full speed in Horseshoe Bend and needed to be ready for army around 1936, and unlike the medium-sized aircraft carriers at Jiangnan Shipyard and Zhanjiang Shipyard that were about to lay keels, this Chengdu-class aircraft carrier was refitted. The shipbuilding industry in the southwest, which in recent years has started the construction of a number of large sea vessels, which are used for nautical transportation in peacetime, has a great potential for refit in wartime, because the beginning of their production leaves room for future refits. Therefore, the tonnage of this type of aircraft carrier is not too large, basically maintained at more than 10,000 tons, and they are all converted by merchant ships, so they are named Chengdu class. In order to congratulate the imminent success of the national revolution, in the second half of 1932, the Horseshoe Bay Shipyard began to refit the Hanjing aircraft carrier, which lasted half a year to complete the refit task, and spent another two months for a short sea trial, and finally became an army and was incorporated into active service.

The Hanjing aircraft carrier has a standard displacement of 22,500 tons, a full load displacement of 25,560 tons, a flight deck length of 232.3 meters, and a 125,000 horsepower domestic gas turbine unit used in the power system. In terms of carrier-carrying aircraft, because the HJ-2 and HH-2 carrier-based bombers and the A-1 torpedo attack planes are larger than those of the main carrier-based aircraft, the number of carrier-based aircraft on the Yunnan aircraft carrier is relatively small, reaching the level of 75, and the actual number of carrier-based fighters is about 55 excluding reserve aircraft. However, because the Hanjing aircraft carrier adopts the first set of ship-borne auxiliary catapult initiation system and high-efficiency interception system, the efficiency of take-off and landing is much higher.

The Hanjing is also more innovative in that like the previous two aircraft carriers, it is equipped with a large carrier-based radar and two auxiliary types of carrier-based radar aircraft and rapid reconnaissance aircraft, which provides the aircraft carrier fleet with a considerable advantage in detecting the enemy in advance.

Among the four fleets, the East China Sea Fleet has the aircraft carrier Zhonghua and the aircraft carrier Chengdu, which are organized into China's No. 1 aircraft carrier task force, which is stationed in Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Ningbo, and is responsible for defending Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, including Hanjing.

The Bohai Fleet is based in Qingdao, and its flagship is the 11,000-ton Qingdao-class Yucheng-class multipurpose cruiser, as well as three Guilin-class destroyers and a number of submarines.

The South China Sea Fleet is stationed in Fangchenggang and Zhanjiang, with an aircraft carrier battle group at the Horseshoe Bay base and a detachment at the Zhanjiang base with a Shenzhen-class Yucheng-class multipurpose cruiser as its flagship, and other Guilin-class destroyers and submarine detachments. In the near future, the main force of the South China Sea Fleet will be moved to Zhanjiang Military Port and Hainan Military Port to further defend the South China Sea.

Early in the morning, the Horseshoe Bay military port sounded the whistle of the steamer going to sea. Although the Navy's main aircraft carrier task force has been transferred to the Wusong Military Port in Shanghai, there is still an aircraft carrier formation here, including a Chengdu-class aircraft carrier named Hanjing, two heavy cruisers named Suzhou and Nanning, and three Guilin-class destroyers Wuxi, Nanchong, Kashgar, and two supply ships Songhuajiang and Tumenjiang.

The entire navy of New China, even with the accumulation of the southwest period, only has three aircraft carriers (the newly built aircraft carrier is still unfinished in the shipyard), eight cruisers and some small and medium-sized destroyers. The construction level of these warships is not particularly high, and the difficulty of construction is not very great, but from the period of Fangchenggang in the southwest, this bit of belongings is all. However, in the new big navy plan, those who are still sleeping in the Horseshoe Bay shipyard, Zhanjiang shipyard, Jiangnan shipyard, and Shandong shipyard are either about to be completed, or semi-finished, or have just laid the keel, and the re-emergence of the Chinese navy will be announced.

The whole fleet poured out of the nest, which was really a big thing for the military port, which was mainly the families of some military personnel, workers, and scientific research personnel, and everyone pushed open the door and watched the fleet sail with a smile on their faces. This has been a long-standing habit in military ports, and every time I see a fleet sailing, it is like sending a loved one on a trip.

"Report to the captain, all fleets are reporting normally, ask for instructions!"

On the bridge of the fleet's flagship Hanjing, the combat staff officer reported to the captain who was looking at the military port from the bridge.

"Set sail! Sail according to the established route! ”

"Yes!"

After Liu Tiangao, the captain of the Hanjing, was an out-and-out famous navy, his father Liu Buyun and Deng Shichang fought side by side in the Yellow Sea, and died in the Battle of Weihai the following year. The two are also old acquaintances for many years, after Deng Haoqian joined the Southwest Navy, he wrote a letter to invite Liu Tiangao, who was still serving in the Guangzhou Navy, to join the Southwest Army.

He once went to Britain to study the navy at his own expense, and after returning to China for Sun Yat-sen's appreciation, he stayed in the Guangdong Navy, but unfortunately, the Republic of China was weak, and he had been doing nothing until he joined the Southwest Navy.

Every time he set sail, he had a special feeling, and when the warship left the military port to embark on another journey, he would warn himself that it would not be easy to build the new Chinese navy, and it would be the rarest opportunity for China to rise in the past century, and if he could not grasp it, then he would be a national sinner. Today's navy, although it is no longer like my father's back then, in the face of a strong enemy, it can't even burn jade, but it still has many opponents.

The fleet headed for the Qiongzhou Strait at an average economic speed of 20 nautical miles, and after more than six hours of sailing, it finally passed through the Qiongzhou Strait and arrived at the first predetermined sea area.

"Report to the captain, the fleet has arrived in the predetermined sea area. Just received radio waves from the warships of the Zhanjiang Military Port, they will arrive in the current sea area in three minutes. ”

In the flagship's war room, Liu Tiangao was discussing with a staff officer the basic operational plan issued by his superiors, and the naval staff issued the basic operational plan, but Liu Tiangao was in charge of the actual operational command and operation. As for Liu Tiangao, who had participated in battles with the British Navy and the Yueben Navy, his experience in fleet command, especially in new-style naval operations, was very strong.

Standing up from the chart, Liu Tiangao patted his military uniform, nodded to the combat staff officer, and then said, "Mr. Zhang Minshan is a model for my Nanyang Chinese, according to the instructions of the Admiralty, he should be greeted with first-class naval etiquette and carry out the order!" ”

The staff officers in the combat cabin all raised their heads, their eyes were shining, the first-class naval etiquette, that is the etiquette to greet the supreme head of a friendly country, and now the high-level officials use this etiquette to receive their own Chinese, which is a kind of ideological attention and return.

"Mr. Zhang Minshan, we are about to arrive at the predetermined sea area, according to the established plan, we will escort you here, and after changing ships, there will be a brother force to send you back to the Hanzhong Islands."

On the frigate Tianshui, Captain Zhou Binglin walked under the deck and knocked on the cabin of Zhang Minshan and his son.

It's not that the Tianshui frigate is so advanced, as this batch of Dongchuan-class frigates, it was originally a supplement to the Yucheng-class cruisers and Guilin-class destroyers. With a displacement of only 2,100 tons, there are neither large-caliber naval guns, nor one or two seaplanes, but they are very small and flexible, especially the use of the latest domestic type, and even only the small and medium-sized gas turbine units used in the Dongchuan class frigates, with a speed of 35 knots, which has reached the international advanced level. It can cooperate with Guilin-class destroyers to carry out rapid anti-submarine and anti-mine missions in the outer waters of the fleet in wartime, and can provide air defense support to a certain extent.

What shocked Zhang Minshan and his son was that although this kind of warship does not look big, far less powerful than the cruisers that the Dutch often drive around near Hanzhong Island to show off their might, but its appearance is extremely beautiful, the streamlined hull, the neat superstructure of the ship, and even the interior of the ship are not made by ordinary technology. He believes that there must be many such new warships in the rumored Chinese Navy, and the simplest logic is that if the Tianshui under his feet is enlarged several times, it will be a rather spectacular cruiser or battleship.

"Okay, okay, Captain Zhou, I must come to Nanyang to have a look when I have time in the future."

Because of the secrecy of the military plan, Zhang Minshan did not know the combat mission of the KPA Navy, and he was only told that a navy would escort him back to Hanzhong Island and wait for an opportunity. In his prediction, perhaps one or two ships suitable for long-distance voyages would return with him, and even if he could not deter the Dutch, he could declare the existence of force in the homeland of China, so that they would be more afraid when they bullied the Chinese.

The situation in Nanyang has been very unstable recently, and on the last telegram, my father Zhang Chaozhong called back that the conflict between the Chinese and Indonesians caused by Jakarta had begun to spread to Kalimantan Island, which is only one step away from Hanzhong Island. The Dutch Colonial Administration on the island has also strengthened its vigilance and is very on duty. Zhang Minshan replied that he had gained the basic trust of the new political axe, and it was expected that the navy would send a symbolic force to send him back to China. Since he could not know the specific military operation, he asked his old father to prepare in advance.

Zhang Minshan and his entourage immediately followed Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Binglin out of the cabin and boarded the deck, only to see a blue sea, which happened to be noon at this time, and the whole sea seemed sparkling.

"Father, look ......"

Zhang Changjiang was the first to discover the scene where the water and the sky meet, and when he looked around, he saw that at the position of the sea horizon, an island-like thing gradually rose, far away, but ordinary people could not distinguish it, but Zhou Binglin knew that it was the superstructure of the island of a large warship.

The speed of the Tianshui frigate was very fast, and the scene in the distance was getting closer and closer, and from time to time, when they saw the complete scene ahead, the Zhang father and son couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that on the endless sea, a fleet composed of seven or eight warships much larger than the Tianshui was lying in front of the route, although it was still far away, but the golden dragon flag and the iron-blooded military flag fluttering above it were already clearly visible.

"This, this is our fleet ......"

Zhang Minshan trembled, he was fifty years old, and he couldn't stop the old tears at this time, no one in this sea area could understand better than him what a strong navy and strong sea power meant to the Chinese. The Dutch and the British relied on their navy to gallop across the ocean, and now seeing the naval fleet of New China with their own eyes, how can he not be moved, how can he not be surprised. Great sorrow and joy, only Nanyang Chinese of his age feel the most profoundly.

"Woo......"

At this time, the aircraft carrier Hanjing, the flagship of the fleet, had already sounded the whistle that shook the sky, and the new Chinese Navy was conducting its second naval first-class etiquette after the naval parade at the founding ceremony.

I saw that the ships were quickly lined up, with the Hanjing as the core, forming a standard naval parade formation, and the sailors who were not on combat duty came out one after another, holding Huaxia-style semi-automatic rifles, lined up on both sides of the deck, saluting the Tianshui spectators.

"Fire!!"

With the order of the flag officer, the large naval guns of the Suzhou and Nanning heavy cruisers, which were full of 203mm caliber, raised their barrels high and fired diagonally into the sky.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

This is not to welcome a certain person, but to pay tribute to the Chinese who have been away from the motherland for several years, more than 10 years, decades, or even hundreds of years.

"The sky has eyes!! It's worth it even if I, Zhang Minshan, die, Dad, you are waiting in Nanyang, my son wants you to see with your own eyes, the navy of our Chinese nation, and look at our own pride......"

Zhang Minshan bent his legs, first bowed three times in the direction of the mainland, and then turned to the direction of Nanyang, crying, the man's tears did not flick, not to mention the tears of the old man, they were all emotional to the extreme.

Nanyang, the Dutch population of the Great Natuna Island, the Chinese old Chinese old Hanzhong Island, the Dutch colonial authorities in Hanzhong Island Administration.

"Your Excellency Baron Carlson, as soon as this matter is over, the Chinese dogs' plantations will become our common property."

A thin, yellow-skinned man is grovelling over a broken Dutch speech to a Westerner drinking afternoon tea next to him, while the blonde Dutchman, with his eyes fixed on the lawn of the naked, women who are dancing Indonesia's primitive seduction dance, sipping brandy, known as the "burning wine".

"Nanito, you are a shrewd Indonesian plantation owner, and you should understand that for the cunning Chinese, you should not have the idea of a one-time solution, but should cut off their financial resources, let them lose their plantations, and become plantation employees is the most correct thing to do. And this Chinese incident in Jakarta gave us the best chance, a sailing boat. Step on it and shoot at the Chinese people you've hated for so long. Plantations and factories were lost, and a special tax was levied on Chinese businessmen in the second step...... Haha, a wonderful life, there will be no more participation of these economic silverfish of the Chinese. ”

"Your Excellency Baron Carlson, you are so right, I will take all the plantations in their hands, and the island of Great Natuna will be mine and yours."

Nanito, an obscene Indonesian, sneered, as if he had seen the tragic scene of the Chinese.

"Dad, this is the secret message that the eldest brother just sent back."

Zhang Yueshan took a telegram and hurriedly rushed into the backyard of Zhang's house and found his old father Zhang Chaozhong, who was watching Huang Li there.

"Huh? Show me. ”

The old man snatched the telegram and couldn't wait to see that there were not many words on the telegram, it was very simple: everything is fine, the motherland will send a naval fleet to accompany him, and he will arrive within one or two days, and I hope my father will be careful.

"Okay, good, good, Minshan is really good, I didn't expect to really move back reinforcements, Yueshan!"

"Hey, Dad."

"The self-help meeting you are in charge of has to be extremely careful lately, there are signs that the Dutch may collude with the Indonesians in the past two days to do something, don't make a mistake at this critical juncture."

"Don't worry, father, even if it's the worst-case scenario, we're ready for what to do." Zhang Yueshan said confidently that the Chinese had suffered too many losses, and from beginning to end, they could not fight the Dutch with guns in hand, and they were also bullied by the Indonesians with machetes.

"Well, the recent plantation incident has made Matsuyama pay more attention to those Indonesian workers and give them a holiday. These people, who were forced to recruit in the first place, will sooner or later be a scourge. Zhang Chaozhong especially reminded the plantation that the Dutch authorities allowed the Chinese to operate part of the plantation on Hanzhong Island, that is, the Chinese had to recruit some Indonesians as workers and pay heavy taxes to the colonial authorities. Now, Zhang Chaozhong, who has made up his mind, naturally refuses to raise those Indonesians on the plantation anymore.

However, on the very next day, a small local [***] atrocity was staged on Hanzhong Island, and no one expected that this incident would be used by the Nanyang Chinese and the New China political axe, thus completely changing the entire situation in Nanyang.

In the past week, the writing has been unusually smooth, and many readers have begun to threaten to see pirated copies in the book review area, or whatever. Let's ask, the little fish who has just received the certificate, empty-handed, doesn't he know that the manuscript fee is valuable? Can I write it, I don't want to write more? This chapter is also, I have only finished it since I went home and now I have written it, and I can't help it if I can't improve the speed. Of course, there must be things like cooking dinner in the middle.

Recently, the subscription has really dropped a lot.,I'm updating slowly.,Self-aware.,I didn't have the face to ask for a subscription.,But that doesn't mean I'm happy to see and say,Okay,Update slowly.,I look at piracy.,And some readers also run the book review area for all kinds of threats.,Deleted posts have also deleted a lot.。 What can I do as an author? Slow update is the reason to see piracy, so can low subscription be reversed as a reason for the lack of motivation for updating or the direct eunuch escape?
