Radiogram?

If a warship is equipped with a wireless telegraph, it can no longer rely on telegraph transmission from ports along the way, and the command organ can directly command the warship on the sea, and if the army unit is equipped with a radio station, it can also keep in touch with the general staff at all times, so that the general staff can directly grasp their movements and formulate corresponding combat plans.

The flash of thought only made Tang Haoran's eyes suddenly brighten, but then the brow was furrowed violently - the radio has not yet been invented, and it only exists in the imagination of scientists.

Although Tang Haoran was barely a lover of "ham" (1) in later generations, he was only limited to understanding, at most he only met a few friends who had this hobby when he was in college, although he was able to draw the schematic diagram of Radio 71 with his extraordinary memory, but all kinds of electron tubes were not invented in this era.

If you want to "invent" the radio station, you must first solve the problem of the tube, but what is the principle of the tube? Trying to recall some articles he had read in the old days, trying to find the principle of the vacuum tube to invent the vacuum tube, Tang Haoran had a name in his mind - Tesla!

Nikolai? Tesla!

"In 1893, Tesla made its first public demonstration of radio communications in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. In his presentations for the Franklin College of Philadelphia and the National Electric Light Association, he described and demonstrated the basic principles of radio communications. The instrument he made contained all the basic elements of the radio system before the invention of the tube. Tesla was granted a patent for radio technology in the United States in 1897 ......"

Although in the materials I read when I was young, there was some controversy about Tesla's invention of the radio. After all, the recognized inventor of radio was Marconi. But for Tang Haoran. After all, in 1943, after Tesla's death, the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed that Tesla's patent was valid, and later generations did indeed make a radio based on the principle description of the radio proposed by Tesla in 1893. It's just that after Tesla proposed this principle, he turned around and put all his energy into the famous "alternating current war" and put down the research on radio. It wasn't until after the news of Marconi's invention of radio came out that he worked on his invention again.

If the historical accounts are true. If he really invented radio in 1893, even if it is just the principle of radio, it is very likely that China will master radio in advance, so as to gain unilateral information advantage......

“…… And most importantly. The "Hawaii crisis" not only exposed the weakness of the navy, but also fully exposed the lag in naval construction. Therefore, I believe that after this crisis, we must adjust the development plan of the Navy......"

Noticing that Da Shuai's attention didn't seem to be in the office, Rong Shangqian raised his voice slightly.

"Dashuai,"

Rong Shangqian's question made Tang Haoran, who was fluctuating in his mind, quickly come back to his senses, and only then did he notice that what was being discussed now was the "Hawaii crisis".

"Although the current construction plan of the navy is to be steady and steady, first train officers and sailors, establish a cruiser fleet to accumulate experience, and then gradually expand the navy, but, marshal, this "Hawaii crisis" has exposed the weakness of the Northeast Navy, although our navy now has more than 6,000 sailors, and its scale is almost not inferior to Beiyang, although there are still insufficient officers, but it has attracted hundreds of Japanese naval officers, but in addition to a "Jiyuan" armored cruiser, what else? A few gunboats and more than a dozen training ships converted from merchant ships are the main ...... of the Northeast Navy."

Taking a deep breath, Rong Shangqian, as the chief of the Navy Division, knew that his director was actually just a basic director, and in the end, everything he did would be a wedding dress for the real Navy Minister, but this did not prevent him from laying a more difficult foundation for the Northeast Navy.

"Marshal, indeed, now in the shipyard in Incheon, we are building two Pingbo-class, in the French shipyard, the Dinghae-class is under construction, but they are in service next year, and when is the Navy's next ship purchase plan? It's next year, next year that we're going to consider buying warships from Britain, and in fact, they're in service in three years, and maybe we'll have a large fleet at least seventy percent of the tonnage of the Beiyang Fleet in three years' time, but, Marshal, through this Hawaiian crisis, we should realize that the urgent and volatile overseas environment cannot be carried out according to our plan. ”

Planning is always perfect, but how many things in the world will go according to plan? As the chief of the Navy, Rong Shangqian, who has been concentrating on the training of officers and sailors, never thought that the Northeast Navy would be involved in overseas disputes before the "Hawaii Crisis", but now he has to consider these issues, this is because the marshal in front of him is obviously different from the marshal of the Sekinai, he values overseas interests like Europeans, with the first time, there is a second time, especially after the first adventure, who can guarantee that the next time, the adventure will not turn into a war?

"Next year, when our Dinghai-class is put into service, the four 10,000-ton warships and six new-type cruisers of the Beiyang will also be put into service one after another, and the overwhelming superiority of the Beiyang Fleet is something we have to consider.

After this rhetorical question, facing the eyes of the handsome, Rong Shangqian said solemnly.

"Therefore, I believe that we should formulate a long-term naval development plan, and the plan should be launched this year, and in this plan, the four-phase ship purchase and shipbuilding plan should be the core, and the first phase of the plan, in addition to the purchase and construction of cruisers, we should consider purchasing other countries' spot cruisers, so as to fully ...... the Northeast Navy."

In fact, as early as the "Hawaii Crisis", he was thinking about how to enrich the strength of the navy, and the purchase of spot warships was undoubtedly the most suitable, and he had even selected several relatively suitable warships.

"You mean you can expand the navy now?"

Rong Shangqian's suggestion made Tang Haoran's brows jump slightly, how could he not have realized the weakness of the navy in the "Hawaii crisis", but this weakness is an insoluble disease -- the Northeast Navy does not have enough officers, and even does not have enough sailors, this is actually a common problem of the Northeast Army and Navy, the army does not have enough middle and senior officers, but it can barely make up for it with the quality of middle and lower-level officers, especially the quality of soldiers, after all, it is facing the Huai Army and not the great powers.

However, the navy is different, the navy is a real technical branch, and as long as it wishes, the army military academy can "produce" grassroots officers in batches every six months. However, it takes time to train naval officers, and although it seems that more than 200 naval officers have been trained over the past year or so, in fact they were all merchant cadets at first, and only transferred to study the navy last year, and even according to the standards of the four-year US naval academy, they still have not yet graduated. How to expand the Navy in this situation?

"There is no problem with money, but where do the officers on the ship solve it?"

Tang Haoran asked rhetorically, dozens of Beiyang officers and soldiers have been retained on the cruiser "Jiyuan", is it possible that they are still poaching people from Beiyang?

"We've trained some officers, but will they be able to get on board now? Can you act as a captain, chief engineer, or gunner? ”

The big handsome's rhetorical question made Rong Shangqian's breath sink first, and then he raised his head to meet the big handsome's gaze and replied.

"Now that there are more than 100 Japanese officers in the navy, it is too wasteful to put them in the navy, and I think that it is entirely possible to choose one of them who is reliable to go on the ship, even if they cannot directly serve as commanders at all levels, they can assist the commanders in their work......

Rong Shangqian's suggestion only made Tang Haoran stunned, although he formulated the introduction of Japanese intelligence, and kept saying that "East Asia has the same language and the same species", but it was just a fool of others' words, for Tang Haoran, wholeheartedly trust and use the Japanese? He couldn't do it yet.

"Marshal, don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people, even if they are the captain, what's the matter?"

Sensing the doubts of the marshal, how could Rong Shangqian not understand his thoughts, if he was not of my race, his heart would be different, even if he made this suggestion, it would not necessarily be without any precautions.

"We only need to use them for a few years, and after a few years, when our own people grow up, we can take over their positions, as for the use at this stage, I think the army's instructor system is very good, and the instructor system can be introduced into the navy, and Japanese officers can be the chief officers, and we will send high-quality officers as instructors......

Overseer...... There is no need for Rong Shangqian to explain further, how could Tang Haoran not know that the meaning of his words refers to the sending of the supervising army, but the instructor's assistant in the army is more colorful than the supervising army, but the navy is ...... In another time and space, didn't the neighbor in the north also create the system of "political commissars" after the revolution? In fact, the so-called "political commissars" were the supervisors of the army, monitoring the old officers who were working for the new regime. Without the implementation of this system, how could the rabble pacify the White Guards at home? And then consolidate the regime.

But when he thought that a Japanese officer would be the chief officer of the ship, although he knew that it was just a use, Tang Haoran was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, so that in the end he just groaned.

"Well, this ...... Let me think about it first, let's talk about this expansion plan of the Navy first! (To be continued.) )
