Now, what Zhang Yunfei sees is the general design drawing of the first destroyer, and the three views of this destroyer are very large, and only one drawing of zero can be completed.

Next to Zhang Yunfei, there were not only Zuo Qingquan, Deng Wenping, Fang Zheng and other high-level officials of the 36th Group Army, but also a group of entourage personnel of the 5th Column, as well as many engineers and technicians from the Qinhuangdao Ship Design and Research Institute.

Although many of the people here are senior commanders of the troops, they can't understand this design drawing, everyone can still roughly see that this is the design of a warship, and they know that this is the design of a destroyer.

Zhang Yunfei asked the technical personnel of the Qinhuangdao Ship Design and Research Institute to concentrate their efforts on designing destroyers, and everyone knows some of the many senior commanders of the 36 th Group Army.

"Commander-in-Chief, is this the first destroyer we are about to build?"

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, although he was born in the first phase of Huangpu, still did not know much about the navy and warships.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei nodded, smiled and said to everyone: "Comrades, this is the design of our first destroyer, Mr. Jackson, please introduce this destroyer to everyone." ”

Jackson is the chief designer of the Qinhuangdao Ship Design Institute, Jackson is a German Jew, there are many foreigners in the institute, almost half of the technical staff are foreigners, among these foreigners. and the majority of Jews.

Of course, there are many Chinese, two of the three deputy chief designers are Chinese, and among the rest of the ordinary designers, there are even more Chinese.

As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were several well-known shipyards in the country. After decades of development, there are still a lot of talents and technicians in shipbuilding.

Such as the more famous Mawei Shipyard, Jiangnan Shipyard, Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard and so on. There were many experienced technicians and skilled workers in these shipyards, but due to the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. In addition, the national government has not paid attention to it, and the funds invested are also seriously insufficient, and it has been on the verge of paralysis in the past few years.

Although none of the engineers and technicians of these shipyards have ever designed and built warships, at least they all have experience in shipbuilding, and many of them have built large ships of several thousand tons.

In just one or two months, the 36th Group Army and William's talent company recruited hundreds of experienced people from all over the country. About the talent in the design and construction of ships.

These talents, together with some relatively outstanding college students, a total of three or four hundred, formed the current Qinhuangdao Ship Design and Research Institute.

Together, these people and these foreigners have experience in the design and manufacture of warships. In just a month or so, the design sketches of the first warship have already come out.

The sketch was designed so quickly, and the chief designer Jackson contributed a lot of effort and effort.

Jackson was once a well-known engineer at the Wilhelmshaven shipyard in Germany, though not the chief engineer. But the engineers who can definitely be ranked in the top 10 in the shipyard are typical of the powerful faction.

Such a good and distinguished engineer deserved to be treated very well, but, with Hitler coming to power and massacring Jews in large numbers, Jackson was also brutally persecuted, and might have been in a Nazi concentration camp if it were not for Wilhelm's help.

Jackson, who came to China, was well received by the 36th Group Army, and for more than a year after coming to Datong, Jackson has not received any substantive work, because Jackson is good at warship design, but every month, Jackson can receive an allowance of 20 oceans, and his life is still relatively nourishing. …,

More than two months ago, Fang Zheng, deputy director of the General Political Department of the 36th Group Army, personally approached Jackson and told him that the 36th Group Army was preparing to develop its first destroyer and entrusted Jackson with an important task.

With the development task, Jackson immediately became passionate, glowed with a second spring, and brought his treasured and secretly brought back to China the design drawings of the 1940 destroyer that had not yet been designed and completed at the Wilhelmshaven shipyard.

It can be said that this destroyer is a modified version of the 1940 destroyer that Germany has not yet designed, and it took nearly a month to complete it on this basis, with some modifications, and with the participation of some suggestions from Zhang Yunfei, hundreds of engineers and technicians.

Now, hearing that Zhang Yunfei wanted to introduce the situation of this destroyer by himself, Jackson immediately straightened his chest, his face was full of pride, and began to introduce it in fluent German, and the translator next to him immediately translated it for everyone.

"Hello everyone! We designed this destroyer, which can be said to be a class of destroyers, and in the future, we can build a number of such destroyers according to this design, and this destroyer, according to the instructions of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, is called the 'Zhao Yun class' destroyer, and this class of destroyers is also our first generation of destroyers. ”

For this class of destroyers, Zhang Yunfei adopted the name of the famous general "Zhao Yun" of the Three Kingdoms, hoping that the destroyers of this level can be as powerful as Zhao Yun.

"The dimensions of this destroyer are: length 114.5 meters x width 11.3 meters x draft 3.81 meters; standard displacement: 1,931 tons, full load displacement 2,256 tons; power: 55,000 horsepower, speed: 36 knots, endurance: 6,000 nautical miles; main armament: two 130-mm guns x2, quadruple torpedo tubes x2, two 30-mm anti-aircraft guns 16."

"In addition, in accordance with the requirements of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, a helicopter take-off and landing deck is designed at the stern of the ship, 6 missile launch tubes are also designed on the ship, and a radar system will be installed on the ship,......"

Jackson spoke eloquently, and the interpreter next to him translated accurately, and Jackson continued to introduce the destroyer for almost an hour before he finished introducing the destroyer.

After listening to this detailed introduction, everyone was excited in their hearts, and thought in their hearts that in the near future, there will be the first warship designed and manufactured by themselves.

After a long time, everyone began to ask questions and express a little doubt in their hearts.

First of all, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the general staff, asked a question, and the chief of staff Zuo said a little puzzled: "Commander-in-chief, according to your request, the position of the missile launch tube has been reserved on the warship, but, as far as I know, we do not have missiles as a weapon!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said: "Lao Zuo, we don't have missiles now, but this doesn't mean that we don't have this kind of weapon in the future, the most powerful thing about our design of this kind of destroyer is that it is equipped with missiles, and the destroyer has helicopters, radars and missiles, and it will not be inferior to the cruiser of the little devil, or even the battleship." ”

Hearing this, everyone was slightly moved, is this destroyer really so powerful? With a displacement of only about 2,000 tons, can it really be against a cruiser or even a battleship of a little devil?

Everyone had questions in their hearts, and looked at Zhang Yunfei suspiciously.

Zhang Yunfei saw everyone's doubts and explained: "Comrades, I predict that in future naval battles, large-caliber artillery will gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and between the warships of the two sides, the scene of large-caliber artillery bombardment will gradually be replaced by missiles, and the attack distance of the warships of the two sides will also change from the current few nautical miles to more than a dozen nautical miles or even dozens of nautical miles. ”

As soon as Zhang Yunfei said this, Chief of Staff Zuo was also a little confused, and couldn't help but interject: "Commander-in-chief, according to what you said, at such a distance, how can we see each other, and how can we hit each other?" ”…,

Chief of Staff Zuo's words seemed to speak everyone's hearts, and everyone looked at Zhang Yunfei intently, looking forward to Zhang Yunfei's answer.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunfei continued: "Comrades! In the naval battles in the future, as the attack distance increases exponentially, there are two questions in front of us, the first is to be visible, and the second is to be able to fight. ”

"To solve these two problems, first, we must rely on our radar, through which we must discover enemy warships in the distance, and second, we must rely on our missiles, which must be able to hit targets more than a dozen nautical miles away, or even tens of nautical miles."

Hearing this, everyone gradually became clear, and everyone thought in their hearts, according to what the commander-in-chief said, then his own destroyer can really compete with the cruiser of the little devil, or even the battleship.

Just imagine, the warship of the little devil was discovered through the radar outside the line of sight, and then, one after another, the missiles hit it, and the cruisers and battleships of the little devil had huge guns of two or three hundred millimeters in the air, so what was the use?

Thinking of this, everyone looked forward to this destroyer even more.

Zhang Yunfei looked at everyone's expressions and knew what everyone was thinking, but as a traverser, Zhang Yunfei knew that there were still many problems to be solved in order to successfully create the destroyer just mentioned.

Although missiles have already been developed during this period, for the 36 th Group Army, the development of missiles is equivalent to drawing a picture on a blank sheet of paper, and it is necessary to start almost from scratch.

As early as two or three months ago, Zhang Yunfei gave an account to Fangzheng and sorted out the engineering and technical personnel who had been put on file in the base area, and Zhang Yunfei planned to transfer some engineering and technical personnel related to weapons design, physics, chemistry, and missile design and manufacturing to set up a secret research institute to develop missiles.

The rocket technology in the base areas is already mature, the rocket engine technology is also relatively mature, and there are a number of relevant engineers and technicians, but relying on these people alone is still far from developing missiles.
