Chapter 1 Our Fleet
At about one o'clock in the afternoon of August 18, 1941, on the passenger terminal in Los Angeles, Gu Lianyun, Guo Muyi and others were looking far away under the escort of more than a dozen plainclothes guards, and suddenly a plainclothes finger pointed to the direction of two o'clock at the junction of the sea and the sky in front of the right and said: "I see them!" β
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and the next moment their eyes widened, and they refused to look away. Gu Lianyun held up the binoculars, and several ships that were riding the wind to break through Lang immediately appeared in her field of vision. A few minutes later, when she saw the figure of the "Yandi" aircraft carrier, two lines of tears hung down her cheeks, and at this moment, she suddenly burst into tears.
"Our fleet is so spectacularβ" Gu Lianyun's side, You Xiaolian whispered softly, and then reached out and grabbed her right arm.
As Guo Muyi wished, Ouyang Yun transferred You Xiaolian out of the Niangzi Yunwei Regiment as the leading officer of the guard unit on his trip to the United States. However, judging from the current development trend, Guo Muyi seems to have a long way to go if she wants to embrace the beauty.
A total of twenty-seven battleships, including two aircraft carriers, namely the "Yandi" and the "Yellow Emperor", seven destroyers, six heavy cruisers, and three frigates. Three attack submarines and six supply ships.
Although a fleet of this size is still quite far from the Pacific Fleet of the United States, if it is replenished with completely carrier-based aircraft, it will not be able to fight a war even if it encounters Japan's previous combined fleet.
The Yellow Emperor Aircraft Carrier Fleet is calculated separately, from the preparation of the project to the formal commissioning of the refit, to the reception of American ships and later completion and launching, and the hiring of retired officers of the US Navy to help train soldiers, Gu Lianyun participated in the whole process and paid too much for it. The longer she left Ouyang Yun, the thicker her thoughts became, and even whenever she couldn't sleep in the dead of night, she stood in front of the window and looked out of the east, and there would always be a faint nostalgia in her heart, and then if it was not contained, it would ferment into a thick grievance, making her feel that her original choice was really wrong.
Women are born to be hurt by men - as a woman, it is not easy to live in a foreign country, and what about the responsibility of pioneering? From an outsider's point of view, Gu Lianyun is always smiling and full of confidence, she is a typical strong woman, who knows that deep down in her heart, she doesn't want to go back to China all the time, and return to Ouyang Yun's side to be a vine on a big tree?
After the Yandi aircraft carrier fleet was completed and began to be put into training, Gu Lianyun went to comfort the trainees more than once, and he could treasure the Yandi and the aid ships. However, the feeling of seeing it at the moment is completely different, because they are sailing to Asia and returning to their homeland.
As Ouyang Yun's "eldest lady", no one knows Ouyang Yun's hunger for an aircraft carrier fleet better than her, because of this reason, when the Yandi aircraft carrier fleet really starts to play a role, she will have such a big feeling, and she will vent her emotions without reservation.
Gu Lianyun's tears were raining down, but Guo Muyi couldn't help but straighten her body, and subconsciously raised her right hand to solemnly salute the military salute.
The same fleet, Guo Muyi's feelings are completely different from Gu Lianyun's.
As a traditional army officer, Guo Muyi only began to supplement her knowledge related to naval warfare, such as navigation and ship groups, after arriving in the United States. The more he received knowledge about it, the more he realized the importance of an ocean-going fleet to a country. With a range of nearly 30,000 kilometers and too many uncertainties, he was not sure that this fleet would be able to sail safely to the Arabian Sea. But he felt that it did not matter - even if the fleet was destroyed halfway, even if they were ambushed by the Japanese and destroyed as soon as they sailed into the Indian Ocean, it was nothing, because it had already proved the determination of the Chinese in developing an ocean-going fleet. And in time, as the cadet army grows stronger and stronger, then sooner or later another ocean-going fleet can be assembled......
As Gu Lianyun's godfather, Gu Yu was the only non-student military person present today. His perspective is different from Gu Lianyun and Guo Muyi. The old man still remembers the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese Naval War, so although he is not very good at military affairs, he is still rejoicing that the motherland is about to acquire such a huge fleet that does not belong to the Beiyang Fleet. He responded to You Xiaolian's words: "Yes, spectacular, spectacular, indeed spectacular!" It's so nice that I didn't expect to see this in my lifetime! I really hope to see them change to the Chinese flag! β
For security reasons, the fleet will fly the U.S. flag before arriving in Karachi, with the approval of the U.S. government. This was an expedient measure, but now it is regretted by the old man.
Guo Muyi finally put down his right hand to complete the military salute that lasted for several minutes, and he said sonorously: "Old man, don't worry, it won't be long, when we get rid of the little devil, you can see it when you return to China." β
Gu Yu nodded: "I look forward to this day coming soon!" β
You Xiaolian: "A friend of mine is the captain of this fleet, old man, and I will take you to his ship to play when the time comes." β
The friend in You Xiaolian's mouth is naturally referring to Bian Jingdao.
Gu Yu nodded and said, "The head of the tour group has a heart, and the old man thanked him first." β
Guo Muyi's one-eyed eyes looked at You Xiaolian and asked, "Your friend?" Do I know each other? β
Guo Muyi admires You Xiaolian, although he thinks he is hiding it well, but he can't escape Gu Lianyun's eyes. You Xiaolian is friendly with her, and often mentions Bian Jingdao in front of her, and when she went to visit the fleet students, she once took her to find Bian Jingdao, so it can be seen that although You Bian and the two have to fight every time they meet, they have actually fallen in love with each other and almost broke the layer of paper. Guo Muyi's image is not as good as Bian Jingdao, plus she is busy calculating all day long, and her temperament looks gloomy, so Gu Lianyun started from the position of You Xiaolian's friend, and instinctively tended to be lively and cheerful Bian Jingdao, and then answered: "His name is Bian Jingdao, a very handsome young man, do you have any impression?" β
Before she finished speaking, You Xiaolian said, "Is Bian Jing handsome?" How I didn't think so! β
"Bian Jingdao?" Guo Muyi felt that You Xiaolian was different when she mentioned this name, and she thought lightly in her mouth, and her heart was filled with bitterness.
I don't know if Lu Dao felt that someone was watching them from afar on the dock, on the deck of the "Yandi" aircraft carrier, with Chen Shichang's order, the six fighters were loosened one after another, and then slid into the flight deck in turn, and then began today's routine training.
The "Yandi" was facing the Los Angeles Ferry Terminal at this time, Gu Lianyun and they were immediately attracted, they watched with bated breath as a fighter plane taxied on the deck of the "Yandi", and then took off, the moment it left the deck, You Xiaolian's eyes lit up and said: "So handsome, I have decided, when I go back to Guangzhou, I will also ask to be a pilot in the Air Force!" β
Gu Yu smiled when he heard this, and said to her, "Why bother to seek the near and far? Let Lianyun teach you. β
Gu Lianyun once received training at Jianqiao Aviation School, and only a few people knew about it. You Xiaolian was overjoyed when she heard this, grabbed Gu Lianyun and asked, "Sister Lianyun, do you know how to fly a plane?" β
Gu Lianyun smiled faintly: "I have learned it before." Then, she watched another fighter plane take off from the deck of the Yandi, and said with fascination: "Perhaps, we will fight side by side in the air in the future!" β
"Great!" You Xiaolian cheered, like a child.
At this time in Guangzhou, the Cadet Army Air Force already had a brigade-sized female aviation unit, and Guo Muyi also knew this. He looked at You Xiaolian and thought to himself: She wouldn't want to be an aviation soldier because of that Bian Jingdao, right? My heart is getting more and more sour.
(Old poison: a new volume has been opened - our fleet, our cloud anti-Japanese, I hope to see the Waglian aircraft carrier enter the battle sequence as soon as possible)
