Chapter 564: The Rise of the Navy (4) (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! )

Just as Chen Feng thought, Lao Jiang also fell into deep thought after receiving the telegram, Chen Feng asked Chen Shaokuan to do something in the past. Lao Jiang didn't think that Chen Feng wanted Chen Shaokuan to go to soy sauce in the past, so he must have some special intentions.

At first, Lao Jiang took it for granted that Chen Feng was going to dig up the only navy under his command, but it was wrong to think about it, to say that the Chinese navy was still like that a few years ago, but after the Battle of Jiangyin, the Nationalist Government's long-term threat to China's maritime fleet, part of it sank in Yantai, and the rest of the main force sank in Jiangyin, so that the Chinese naval forces were almost exhausted, and it was strange that the remaining kittens Chen Feng could see it.

However, Lao Jiang is a master of conspiracy, and he quickly thought of the key. Chen Feng's establishment of the navy was not a secret in the first place, and even if it was really a secret, it would be difficult to resist the infiltration of the military command organs.

Since Chen Feng had sent more than 1,000 people to Chen Shaokuan's command to learn naval tactics, Lao Jiang also had a certain understanding of Chen Feng's navy, not only knowing how many ships Chen Feng had now, but also knowing the main officers of the navy. Of course, the actual level of those officers Lao Jiang himself also has a bottom in his heart.

After analyzing it in this way, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion, that is, Chen Feng is now in urgent need of naval talents, especially talents who can take charge of themselves. As far as the whole of China is concerned, there is less than a slap in the face that can meet Chen Feng's requirements, and the most suitable one is Chen Shaokuan, the commander of the navy.

After the analysis, Lao Jiang's mind became lively, and he had long coveted the navy under Chen Feng's command, which had more than 100 ships, but it was a pity that Chen Feng's navy had been stationed overseas. Few people in China know about the existence of this navy, and the veteran is beyond the reach of the whip, and there is no chance to interfere at all.

Now Chen Feng has taken the initiative to open the door to collect guests, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he will transfer Chen Shaokuan to the Eighth War Zone to serve as the deputy commander of the war zone and the commander of the navy, is there a navy in the eighth theater? Isn't this commander of the navy the commander of the navy?

As long as Chen Shaokuan, an old thing, still listens to his own words, then it is still very possible to surname that powerful navy Jiang, with a strong navy and a strong army, what is the threat of the little devil. As long as the little devil is driven out of China, he Jiang will be a national hero of China. The prestige will surely surpass anyone. At that time, what Zhu Mao, what Chen Feng, will be all smoke clouds, and he will let them disperse whenever he wants. Thinking of this, Lao Jiang couldn't help but smile.

But thinking of Chen Shaokuan's old thing's stinky face. Lao Jiang's heart was blocked for a while. That old thing is really annoying, he doesn't listen to his own greetings many times, and it's not right with his two confidants. Lao Jiang Zhen was worried that he would transfer Chen Shaokuan to the Eighth War Zone and become a meat bun and a dog.

However, such a good opportunity Lao Jiang did not want to miss anyway, compared to the risk, the profit was too tempting, it was a huge fleet of hundreds of warships. According to the calculation that it takes $7,000 to build a ton, the navy under Chen Feng has at least 400,000 tons, and its value is close to $3 billion.

Moreover, now that all countries in the world are at war, no one wants to think of you selling warships at this time, even if you are waving money, so the value of this naval fleet is far more than $3 billion.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of his plan, Lao Jiang specially ordered Chen Shaokuan to integrate the existing naval strength, and gave Chen Feng all the naval strength, including 1 cruiser, 2 destroyers, and more than 10 ships of other sizes, and at the same time, 2,000 naval officers of the Nationalist Government and more than 1,500 naval cadets were also packed and transferred to the Eighth Theater.

Lao Jiang's reason can be regarded as high-sounding, anyway, the British have long urged Chen Shaokuan and others to leave Burma, since your Chen family has a territory in Nanyang, then simply make it a base for the Chinese Navy, besides, the transfer of Chen Shaokuan to the Eighth War Zone is also your own request, I didn't force you to not, if you really want Chen Shaokuan, then you will accept these people.

What is Lao Jiang's calculation, how could Chen Feng not know what to say, but he has always scoffed at Lao Jiang's behavior of mixing sand, is it just a few thousand naval officers and soldiers, it is a fart. Didn't your old boy mix up an infantry brigade last time, and it was also Lao Jiang's starting unit, and he also sent a henchman like Xue Qubing to Saibei, and even did not hesitate to let his niece assist Xue Quai, what is the final result, that infantry brigade has not been swallowed and there are no bones left.

As for Xue Qubing and the little girl of the Song family, they were even more unbearable, one was almost executed as a traitor, and the other returned to Wuhan in disgrace.

It's the same this time, it's a dream to want to annex his fleet. If the troops he pulled up were really like those little girls who had never seen the world, and were coaxed away by a lollipop, then he, the commander of the theater, would have been too much of a failure.

Chen Feng soon called Lao Jiang, the content of which was of course to thank him for his generosity, and in return, the Chen family would provide 2,000 boxes of penicillin drugs for the government, and would also ask the government to provide weapons and equipment for an artillery brigade.

The happiest is Chen Shaokuan, his life is really bad during this time, the foreign enemy is strong, he has no way to escape, although the four seas are big, there is no place for him Chen to stand.

And those old opponents in China not only no longer pull him at this time, but have the meaning of falling into the well. The most frustrating thing is that not long ago, on behalf of the Admiralty, he once again proposed a plan for naval construction to the Nationalist Government, in which he was no longer satisfied with having a few aircraft carriers, but wanted to build several aircraft carrier groups.

He envisioned dividing China's coast into four naval regions: the first zone, from Andong in Liaoning Province to Chengshantou on the Shandong Peninsula; the second area is from Chengshantou to the mouth of the Yangtze River; The third zone runs from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Shantou, Guangdong; The fourth zone runs from Shantou to the border between China and Vietnam. Each district has set up a coastal defense fleet with five aircraft carriers, and a total of 20 aircraft carriers are needed along the coast of the country, each costing 1.8 billion yuan.

Of course, Chen Shaokuan also understood that in view of the situation in China during the war, there was no possibility of realizing the above plan. So these 20 aircraft carriers, of course, are not completed all at once, with a term of 30 years. In the first 10 years, it is planned to build a 10,000-ton and 8,000-ton aircraft carrier, at a cost of $6,280 per ton. And then complete this huge plan year by year.

However, this plan did not seem to cause any other reaction except for the jaw-dropping glasses of many people, including Chiang Kai-shek, which made Chen Shaokuan extremely dissatisfied.

Chen Feng had long known that Chen Shaokuan was not comfortable, so while sending a telegram to Lao Jiang, he also sent a telegram of invitation to Chen Shaokuan, hoping that he could serve in the Eighth War Zone and be in charge of naval affairs.

Because he has been commanding operations at sea all the year round, although he has not achieved many brilliant achievements, Chen Shaokuan's confidence is still very well-informed, and some of the naval officers under Chen Feng's command were brought out by Chen Shaokuan, so Chen Shaokuan has long heard of the navy in Chen Feng's hands, and often fantasizes about commanding this naval fleet to compete with the Japanese.

After receiving Chen Feng's telegram, Lao Chen was ecstatic and immediately called Chen Feng back, he himself was very willing to serve in the Eighth War Zone, but he was only worried that Lao Jiang would not be willing to release him, and at the same time, he was also worried that after he left, the only maritime force of the Nationalist Government would disappear immediately.

However, to Chen Shaokuan's delight, it seems that Chen Feng has already taken care of these things, no, the two things he was worried about have been solved. Lao Jiang was not only willing to release him, but also ordered him to put the remaining naval fleet under the command of Chen Feng.

Although Chen Shaokuan also knew what Lao Jiang's idea was, Chen Shaokuan and Chen Feng had met, and they had a certain friendship, and the young army general was far from being as simple as people imagined, and Lao Jiang might not be able to take advantage of him. Besides, he is only a commander, and his main responsibility is also to fight against Japan, and his biggest dream is to send all the combined fleets of the Japanese Navy to the bottom of the sea in his lifetime.

Chen Shaokuan was willing to come over, which made Chen Feng feel very happy, but Chen Shaokuan still had a lot of things to deal with before he took office, and Myanmar was still some distance away from the Nanyang Territory, even if the warship was at full capacity, it would take 7 or 8 days to arrive, so it was impossible for Chen Shaokuan to arrive at the Nanyang Territory within half a month.

During the period of waiting for Chen Shaokuan to take up his post, Chen Feng was not idle, first ordered the formation of a naval command, and he temporarily served as the commander of the navy, appointed Chang Zhiguo and Tian Haiyang as deputy commanders of the navy, and transferred Ouyang Hai as chief of staff of the navy. At the same time, the Nanyang Naval Academy was established and Jiang Haitao was appointed as the president of the college.

During this time, Chen Feng was also thinking about what warships to add to the navy, although the battleship is not the main direction of the navy's development, but now it can't not be done without one, after all, in this era when the vast majority of people are still pursuing giant ships and cannons, the battleship is not only a warship, but also a combination of strength, courage and other fighting will, a battleship may have average combat effectiveness, but its encouragement to the morale of the officers and men of the navy is immeasurable. Therefore, the battleship was also exchanged for one or two.

Aircraft carriers are even more necessary, but Chen Feng looked at the exchange list of the system, from 1900 to 2014, all aircraft carriers produced by various countries in the world can be exchanged, but the price is 108,000 miles away. Take the main battle aircraft carrier Akagi that the Japanese army is now equipped with, for example, its standard displacement is 29,500 tons, and it is only 36,500 tons after transformation, with a length of 261 meters, an upper flight deck of 190 meters, a width of 29 meters, and a draft of 8.1 meters, which can carry 91 fighters of various kinds, and its redemption points are 12,000 points.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the most advanced Ford-class aircraft carrier in the United States, the USS Ford, has a length of 330 meters, a width of 41 meters, and a full load displacement of about 100,000 tons. It adopts two new A1B pressurized water nuclear reactors, four steam turbines, and a speed of more than 30 knots, which can carry at least 75 fighters of various types and more than 4,500 crew members. The exchange price for such a super battleship is 300,000 points, which is equivalent to the price of 25 Akagi.

Chen Feng only has 920,000 system points now, obviously he can't redeem a super battleship like the Ford, how to match the required battleship is really not an easy matter, you must think about it. (To be continued......)
